Ylem
Bruce is a scientist and he can't help thinking in scientific terms, applying sometimes rather inappropriate and fat-fetched metaphors to his life, as if it weren't strange enough on its own.
He's living in Stark Tower now, the most luxurious and pretentious place in the whole New York, a complete change from third world hurts he's been staying in or running away among. There is everything he might want on demand, thanks to Tony – it's strange, calling the man by his name – for a price, and the price is being a good boy. Helping to save the world from things that should not be possible.
(Ylem – the original matter that according to the big bang theory existed before the formation of elements, Bruce recites in his head.)
Before, all of them were unknown and unfamiliar separated pieces of the same darkness. Then something happened. Bruce believed it completely when he said What are we, a team? No, we're a chemical mixture that makes chaos –
– and yet there they are, somehow: Steve, Thor, Clint, Natasha, all of them functioning as one organism. It's a completely new reality they have created together, a new silent calm introverted Big Bang; a new universe.
