"Just one new gadget."
"No. There's enough of them and I have most of them working."
"Fine, old man. Just don't be surprised if you find sugar in the gas tank." Tony said.
"Better than when you gave Hulk all that chocolate and he got a sugar rush from it." Natasha said.

"We won yet again, big guy." Tony mused.
Hulk huffed knowingly with a smirk on his face. To him, it was starting to feel like the villians weren't putting up much of a fight any more. Either that or the Avengers were turning out to be a better team than anyone believed.
"Hey, want to try some of this chocolate?" Tony asked as he held up an unwrapped chocolate bar.
He noticed the slightly confused look on Hulk's face. It became appearant to the Iron Man operator that, even though Bruce was a genius like himself, Hulk didn't have that much knowledge of the world since he wasn't let out very much.
His large green hand plucked the chocolate bar from Tony's red armored hand. He gave it a sniff and placed the entire bar in his mouth.
Tony lightly smirked when he saw that his teammate ate the sugar treat with delight.
"More." Hulk suddenly declared.
Tony's eyes went a little wide. The two of them were standing in what was once a mall. It had been deserted for nearly a month but there were still a few good items left inside.
The genius looked to where he had found the chocolate bar. The vending machine was turned on its side and the glass was shattered open. No doubt that someone else had tried to get something from inside.
Not waiting another second, Hulk walked over and grabbed a handful of different candy bars. Not even bothering to unwrap them, he tossed them all in his mouth.
"Oh boy." Tony lightly muttered as his face plate dropped.
"Iron Man, report." Steve's voice came over the com link.
"Iron Man here. Hulk and I are taking a little snack break." Tony replied.
"What do you mean 'snack break'?" Natasha questioned.
"Well, the big guy needs to eat and I discovered that he had a real sweet tooth." Tony explained.
"What is he eating?" Steve asked with a suspicious tone.
"Just a little chocolate." Tony answered watching as Hulk ate another handful of candy.
"WHAT?!" the others shouted together.
"Tony! Do you have any idea what that will do with his metabolism?!" Steve demanded.
"It can't be that bad." Tony declared casually before he was suddenly pushed to the side and crached into the wall. He groaned but looked up in time to see Hulk running away and toward another store. "Guys, I willingly admit that I was wrong."
"Candy!" Hulk roared loudly.
"Hulk, wait!" Tony shouted as he flew after his green friend who in turn rushed toward the exit in hopes of finding another store that had the sugary treat.

"Why do you think I don't eat very many sweets even like this?" Bruce asked.
"I thought you were trying to maintain your manly figure." Tony answered. "I didn't know Hulk was hyperactive. Speaking of which, how did you know Capsicle?"
"Sharing almost the same serum, I get sugar rushes every now and then too. But since Hulk is bigger than me and needs more energy, I knew that it would affect him just as much as it would me."
"But I bet it doesn't take three hours to chase you over two hundred miles and a river to get you to calm down." Clint declared.
