The team took one last look at each other after Thor and Loki left. Then they went their separate ways.
Tony got in to his car with the full intent to drink himself silly the moment he got home. Bruce approached the car, nervous as usual.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about your...um...tower."
"Where are you going to go?"
"Some place far away that's for sure."
"Hey look I need a lot of help rebuilding Stark Tower thought you might spend a little longer in the city." Tony said casually. It took Bruce off guard.
"With me around there might be more destruction then rebuilding." He smiled his sad smile.
"Look I'm asking you, one of the most brilliant men I know, to join me in science wander-land and your worried about getting to excited?" Tony raised his eyebrows. "Come on I know you have no place to stay."
Banner hesitated fidgeting with his shirt.
"You've already been so kind..."
"Don't make me pull out the 'you own me' card." Tony Stark warned. He wanted Bruce and he was going to get him. The word disappointment was not in his vocabulary. Bruce ran his hands through his dark curly hair. He rubbed his palms together. He looked around and finally sighed. Bruce got in to the car, looking at Tony with that worried look he usually had on his face. As if he was a ticking time bomb not knowing when he could explode. Witch was actually a fairly accurate analogy for Bruce, Tony thought.
"Hold on!" Tony shouted as he started the engine. Bruce took his advice, quickly buckling his seat belt, clamping his hands around the seat. Tony could see that Bruce was tense by the position he was sitting in. But as the cars motion became more familiar Bruce relaxed and managed a weak smile.
"How fast does this thing go?"
"Wana find out?" Tony put on his sunglasses and stepped on the gas.
