"Banner? Hey Banner, I'm home!" Tony stepped into the lab and tossed his jacket over the back of a chair. He looked around for Bruce and found him asleep with his head on a computer's keyboard. The screen was filled with a lab write up and at the end was a garbled "jaugrueq;bhldsqggfy", marking the point where Banner had drifted off. Tony nudged him in the arm and he snorted, jolting awake blearily.
"Dammit Tony, I was just getting some sleep…" An imprint of the keyboard was imprinted into the side of his face.
"Yeah, well, that's what beds are for."
"…Says the man who runs on batteries and coffee..."
Tony laughed. He couldn't argue with that. Banner stretched and rolled his shoulders, looking with dismay at his lab write up.
"I actually can't remember writing this…"
Tony walked over to his own computer, flicking the "on" button and waiting for the holographic screen to come to life.
"Hey Jarvis. What's been happening around here?"
"Hello Sir. The last four days have been mostly uneventful. No news to report."
"Thank you…" Tony stood up and started to fidget with the small hotel-style coffee maker in the corner. "Any new emails?"
"You have received an email from Director Fury…"
"Save it for later."
"…two emails from the Stark Industries Board of directors…"
"Delete 'em."
"…and seven emails and nine messages from Miss Pots."
There was a pause and Banner snickered at him from across the room.
"Shut it." Tony snapped.
"Sir, it appears Miss Pots is quite determined to speak with you."
"Later. I'm busy."
Banner was still chuckling to himself. "Yeah, finished hacking into Fury's computer yet?"
Tony sent him a warning look but he did his best to ignore the comment. "I'll take care of that tomorrow…" He muttered. He managed to extract a drinkable sample of coffee from the useless machine and took a long swig from his "Stark Industries" mug. He really needed to work on his relationship skills.
