Males: Bruce Banner & Tony Stark

Setting: Post Avengers

Beta: Uchiha Bitch

Kagome sighed as she lounged in the plush leather computer chair, bored out of her mind as her two lovers bickered over yet another theory on her powers. Really, they had to break everything down to science, she mused it was just who they were. They were men of science, both geniuses in their own right.

Tony Stark was the leader in computer technology, maker of the Iron Man suits and Iron Man. Bruce was an expert in pretty much everything. Put them together in one room and dear lord! She glanced at the two, they were hovering over charts and other science stuff, and tapped her fingers on the top of the desk she was leaning on, "You know… you could just accept it's not something science can explain…."

She blinked blue eyes as they both turned to her a bit grumpy from the all-nighters they had pulled. With a mental sigh, she wanted to cry, judging by the looks they were giving her, she was in for another speech about how science could explain everything!

This was worse than her college math courses!

Tony frowned, his dark brown eyes taking in his younger lover, the reason for his headache. Ever since they had discovered she had 'powers', he and Bruce had been trying to figure where her powers came from, where they stemmed from and what powered them so they could help her control them better. He had an inkling that Nick would try and recruit her since she had been able to immobilize Thor with a simple glowing touch! No doubt the sneaky General was thinking of ways to deal with Loki should he ever come back.

He would fight the General tooth and nail, as would Bruce, but the man had his ways and if she was to be drafted into the Avengers, they wanted her prepared! They cared far too much for the young woman who had fallen into their lives. She had been taken on a new work program Pepper had created when she was in charge of Stark Industries. Being Iron Man ate up a lot of his time and before he knew it, she was engaged to his driver Happy, and retiring.

It had saddened him to lose her, she fit with him so well… yet he understood and after a bout of pouting, he had sent her on her way with a nice big bonus. It had been a trip getting back into running his company, she had changed a lot of things, but he got the hang of it and with Bruce by his side, he was able to manage both work and being Iron Man.

Once everything had settled into place and he was comfortably back in the groove of things, he began checking into those Pepper had hired, Kagome Higurashi being one of them. She was an Asian beauty if there ever was one and to be perfectly honest, his interest in her was purely physical at first. Yet she turned him down and down again, and thus, a fun game of cat and mouse, or in her words 'sexual harassment', began.

"I think I broke him…" He blinked out of his fond memories as Bruce let out a small laugh at Kagome's words.

He huffed at both of them. "Tch." She rolled her eyes and shifted in the plush leather chair he had brought into the lab for her. While she was nowhere near as smart as him and Bruce, not that he blamed her – no one was – she liked to sit and watch them tinker about in his lab.

In fact, she was the voice of reason when they went into 'mad scientist mode', making sure they ate, slept, and showered. To think the world's smartest minds bent to her every whim. He shook his head and offered Bruce a small grin as he held up a finger, much like a teacher trying to gain the class' attention, "You see, my Kagome, science explains everything… you just have to find the answer!"

She rolled her eyes, "Uh huh, well ,my dear men of science, I think it's time you take a break for some food," She paused giving them both pointed looks as they move to open their mouths and argue with her, "It's been six hours since your last meal. Now, come on." She stood up and placed her slim hands on her tiny waist and gave them a pointed look.

She smiled as both men sighed, slumping their shoulders as they started putting away their various tools and things, "Good boys, go wash up and I'll order something real quick. Thai sound good?" Before they could answer, she turned on her heel, "JARVIS, can you find me the number of a Thai place that delivers please?"

JARVIS's leveled voice merely replied with a, "Yes, Ms. Higurashi." And began naming off a few places as she entered the small elevator that would take her to the living level of the house.

Bruce chuckled as Tony grumbled under his breath, no doubt upset that Kagome had ignored him as she left. He placed a calming hand on Tony's shoulder and cracked a grin, "There, there, my friend. You should know better than to even try to argue with her." He laughed as Tony shrugged off his hand and pouted, putting his tools away.

"Yeah, yeah, you'd think she was our mom with how she orders us about." He shook his head as he wiped his hands clean of whatever had accumulated on them in the work shop.

"Tony… that's just a very odd comparison… she just cares about our welfare." He scrunched his nose up at the thought of Kagome as his mother of all people.

Tony let out a bark of laughter as he and Bruce entered the elevator, "Yeah, I guess that was a bad comparison…" He shivered and shook the thought away as he hit the button for the living level of their home, "Though… she would make a pretty hot mom."

Bruce rolled his eyes as he leaned back against the wall of the elevator, thoughts of a pregnant Kagome floating in his mind's eye, "She would."

He was truly shocked by such an admission, ever since the accident, he was used to being alone . To keeping to himself and living away from people – mainly to protect them from himself and his anger. Tony had, in fact, been his first truly close friend since he had become known as the Hulk when he was angered. It had taken the man a lot of convincing to get him to agree to stay in the city with him.

He had mainly agreed because he knew Tony needed a friend when Pepper had moved on. He knew what it was like to have a woman you loved leave you because of your work. After the accident, his own love interest had been frightened of him. It was a justified fear, the 'Other Guy' could be terrifying, and he understood that. He had left her behind and learned to live on his own, to be alone.

So he knew what Tony was going through as the man was a recovering alcoholic, he didn't want his friend to fall prey to such a dangerous habit again and had moved in with him under the pretense of helping with his projects and the company. They both knew the real reason, but never spoke of it. It had taken a while, but the man had gotten back on his feet and things were back to as normal as they could be.

That was when they had meet Kagome, hired by Pepper to be a desk worker. Tony took a shine to her and had fixated on her. He, himself, had been drawn in by her, she was so happy and calm and just projected a sense of peace and calm. They had become friends fairly quickly since Tony had promoted her to his personal secretary, much to her annoyance. He knew Tony had a reputation as a play boy among other things, but he had never seen the man give chase to a single woman.

It was amusing to say the least!

Kagome turning him down left and right only added to his amusement. Many a times, he calmly listened to her rant and rave about how much of a 'pig' Tony was, over coffee or a small lunch. He knew she cared for Tony, the man had a way of making you care, yet she was resisting it. She, herself ,had just gotten out of a semi-long and disastrous relationship of her own and was not ready to move on, let alone with Tony Stark and his reputation.

So they had become fast friends and before he knew it, he had feelings for her! He was shocked, scared, and mad at himself. He had tried to distance himself, it wasn't safe for him to feel that way about her. Tony was after her and if he got jealous or mad at something the other man did, then he would 'Hulk out'.

So, he had tried to nip those feelings in the bud. He had failed, it had only made Kagome concerned for him and it had gotten to the point where she cornered him and thing had gotten out of hand.

He 'Hulked out', Tony was there in an instant and while he was fuzzy on the details, since he never really remembered what he did when he was the Hulk, he was later told the Hulk merely clung to Kagome like a child to his favorite toy and growled at Tony when he tried to get to close to them. A real shocker, since when he came to, he was usually surrounded by carnage and rubble.

"You getting senile already, Bruce?" He blinked at the playfully snarky remark, yet merely shook his head at the slightly younger man.

"You wish," He shot Tony a small smirk as he exited the elevator, "You'll have to deal with being the second best in the science community for a while longer." Normally such an insult, while said playfully, wouldn't fall from the normally polite man's lips, but living with Tony for so long had rubbed off on him.

Tony huffed at the playful insult and walked after his lover, "Oh yeah, whatever, you're just jealous." He walked past the slightly taller man and took a seat at the counter and leaned on it, watching Kagome move about the kitchen, getting out plates and forks for when the food was delivered.

Bruce rolled his eyes and took a seat next to him, his gaze also on the young woman as she moved about the kitchen with practiced ease, "Whatever helps you sleep better at night, Tony."

Tony gave a small perverted smirk and batted his eyes at the other man, "Oh, you know what helps me sleep at night, big boy."

Bruce blushed a bit, still semi-uncomfortable to find himself sexually involved with the other man as well as sharing a lover. He muttered under his breath, "Pervert."

Tony merely puckered his lips as if asking for a kiss, "You know you like it." He yelped as a stack of paper towels smacked him up side his head from behind, "Ouch!"

Kagome rolled her eyes as he cradled his head like she had really hurt him and placed the paper towels on the counter, "Oh, hush up, Tony! It didn't hurt that bad and leave poor Bruce alone!"

Tony pouted as she leaned against the elder man and placed a small kiss on his cheek, one he returned, "You're both so abusive to me!" He mock pouted as she rolled her eyes and moved to hug him, her fingers running through his hair where she had smacked him with the paper towels.

"Oh, whatever, Tony, you've had much worse." She moved to place a small kiss to his cheek, yet he turned his head and caught her lips in a small kiss. He smirked as she pulled back blushing and moved to lean against the counter between the two of them, "Oh, by the way, Tony, it came to fifty seven bucks. I charged it to the card."

She laughed as he grumbled, all in good fun, and winked at Bruce as he let out a small chuckle. All of them knew it was a drop in the hat when it came to the rich man, yet he liked to grumble none the less, not used to having a shared account with anyone, let alone two people.

The fact that he had added them to his account was a big statement in its own, but none of them commented on it, knowing that none of them were ready to do so. They were taking each day as it came, not labeling anything or making anything too complicated. They were happy the way things were and yes, down the line they would set things in stone and deal with the fall out of such a taboo and odd relationship, but not tonight.

That was for another day.
