"Tony, you sound like every dystopian novel ever right before the evil computer takes over the planet," Skye sighed, barely glancing up front her laptop. Clint had plans, so she had followed Tony and Bruce down to the lab while they worked on Ultron. If she thought she was a decent hacker before now, she was so wrong. Jarvis was running in circles around her programing. "Bruce? You can't seriously think this is a good idea?"

Bruce looked up from where he had been smearing a tranquilizing compound onto a slide, "Huh?"

"Ultron," Skye repeated, "Tell Tony it's a bad idea."

Bruce's face grew sheepish, "I may have been the one to give him the idea in the first place."

Skye sighed as Tony resumed coding a mile a minute, "Of course you were."

A moment later Bruce cried out as the compound grew unstable, splattering him and his workstation. The cry of pain morphed into a deep roar as his muscles bulged and rolled beneath his green tinted skin.

"Well," Tony snarked, reaching for the briefcase armor, "definitely not a tranquilizer." His voice turned digital as the faceplate locked into place, "You might want to stay back."

"Like hell," Skye said, moving to stand at his side, "Hulk's just another part of our soulmate. I've seen the way he fights with the team. He's not a monster."

"Glad to hear you think so," Tony said, "The real battle is getting Bruce to feel the same."

"Tin man?" A gravely voice questioned. "Hulk Smash?"

"Not here, Bud," Iron man fiddled with something on his Stark pad. The door to the lab retracted into the wall, the opening significantly larger than normal, "Follow the lights, remember? Cap added some boulders for you to smash last time he was home."

Hulk nodded, growling lowly when he noticed Skye, "Smash?"

"Hey there, big guy," Skye said, "I'm not going to hurt you, okay? I'm Banner's soulmate, just like shellhead here. I was actually hoping you'd let me play with you. Think Cap left enough boulders in there for the both of us?"

Hulk tilted his head, "Not hurt? Smash with Hulk?"

Skye nodded, "Only if you want the company."

"Come," He nodded decisively before lumbering off.

Tony popped off the faceplace, grinning, "Did you just asked the Hulk on a playdate?"

Skye rolled her eyes, "You coming with?" He waved her ahead. He had no doubt she could handle herself just fine without him, besides, there was work to be done.
