"Friend Banner? I must speak with you," Thor spoke loudly as he entered the kitchen. Bruce was seen eating a bag of chips and was in the middle of the process of drinking a glass of water when Thor came in.

"Oh, do you Thor?"

"Yes, I do, my friend. It is about my brother".

With the mention of Loki, Bruce tensed up a little and Thor saw.

"Don't worry about a thing. I am sure that he will no longer cause any of you no trouble. I think he is willing to change his ways for the better, not just for us, but for him as well".

"I know buy he always can go back. I just don't want to hulk out or anything".

Thor smiled weakly. "I know".

"So, what about your brother that you must talk to me about?"

"Oh yes. I want to bring to your attention that Loki seems, I don't know, a bit sad or something. My brother seems offended yet happy that he will one of us. But, his facial expressions tell me otherwise. He doesn't seem like a happy person to me".

Bruce listened attentively.

"Well, with the whole situation of us not liking him, maybe he feels alone in a way. By the looks of it, Tony already offered his friendship to Loki."

"Yes, I saw that as well. But what about the others? I don't want anybody to be or feel uncomfortable in any way concerning my brother".

"Well, the least I could do is make amends with your brother Thor. Then, maybe, hopefully, the rest can follow suit".

"Oh thank you, friend." Thor went to give Bruce a bone crushing hug and causing him to smile wide from the action.

When Thor left Bruce to his own devices, Bruce was greeted by no other than Tony and Clint, who me were wearing big grins. And that caused him to be wary.

"Why are you two smiling? I am already nervous as it is" Bruce said as he was backing away.

"Don't be scared Bruce. What we are planning to do has nothing to do with you. But it will on Steve, though" Tony replied.

"Steve? What did he do? Or, should I say, what are you planning to do to him?" Bruce asked, bewildered.

"Oh nothing serious. But a small prank on him, that is all" Clint responded with a smile.

"And that prank would be what exactly?" Bruce questions Clint.

"I have created a juice type of formula that will cause Steve to far whenever he sits down for a couple of hours. Isn't that great?"

Bruce stood in his spot, confused at what he heard.

"A prank on Steve? Really?"

"Yes, really Bruce. And come with us, you will be the witness of Tony's plan. Steve is in the training room. Tony will offer his 'drink' and wait until Steve sits for the prank to start" Clint said and grabbed Bruce's hand and the three men left the kitchen. And in Bruce's left hand, he carried a water bottle that hosted the liquid Tony created that would cause Steve to Farr when seated.

After arriving to the training room where Steve was practicing new combat moves, he sensed that he had visitors.

He turned around to see Clint, Bruce and Tony standing near the doorway and all three were wearing grins on their faces.

"So, what brings all you three here?"

Tony decided to speak up, "We just wanted to see you Steve. And to also bring you something to drink. I bet you're thirsty".

He handed Steve the water bottle to Steve, in which Steve grabbed without a second thought.

"Thanks for the water Tony. I actually forgot to bring some".

"You're welcome Steve" Bruce answered and Clint tried to not to laugh out loud.

"So, I have a small question for you Tony. Can I speak with you in private?" Steve asked.

"Uh, sure Captain" Tony answere, confused.

"Well, I guess we have to go back then," Clint said as he and Bruce began to walk their way out of the training room.

"So Tony. What is up with you and Loki?"

Slighly blushing, Tony answered, " Nothing is going on between him and I. Why do you ask?"

"If nothing is wrong, then why did you kissed him earlier?"

"You know how I am with attractive people".

"So you are telling me you go both ways?"

Tony just stared at the shirtless Steve in front of him. He really didn't want to answer his question. What if he was bisexual?

"Well, Steve, I am not going to answer anymore of your questions. I am already uncomfortable".

"Oh really Tony. And what would Thor have to say that you kissed Loki?"

"He doesn't have to know a thing if he doesn't get to hear it from you. This conversation stays in this room. If I hear a beep from you and ends up Thor knowing, you will regret telling him" Tony threatened in an angry tone.

"Okay" Steve simply answered.

Both men walked out from the room in silence.

While Steve left to his room to take his shower, Tony quickly left to his lab. Bruce was already there, testing out a new liquid formula.

Bruce quickly noticed that Tonyt arrived.

"How did the conversation with Steve go?"

"It went horrible".

"Oh really? How so?"

"I don't want to talk about it Bruce. I already got offended by Steve with the topic our conversation we had".

"Oh. I am pretty sure it will pass Tony".

"I think it will Bruce".

Silence fell between them. After a couple moments passed when Tony's phone vibrated, indicating that he received a text from Pepper.

'Tony, you have a meeting tomorrow with Fury, alongside with both Steve and Bucky'.

"Just great. Another meeting with one-year man tomorrow with Steve and Bucky" Tony said out loud.

"On what?" Bruce asked.

"Pepper didn't say. But I am sure it has to do with the upcoming mission we are going to have".

"You're scared?" Bruce asked.

"No, I am not. Why do you ask"?

"Just because" Bruce simply answered.

'I hope that Steve doesn't bring up Loki in the meeting,' Tony thought.
