Author’s Note: This is a pretty short piece but it was one I just sort of...idk I still really like it after like six years. It was originally posted on 29 May 2012.


It’s midnight when Tony Stark awakens to the sound of tuneless humming and the profound sense that something is very wrong. Almost instinctively, he slips from his bed and follows the noise.

It takes several minutes for Bruce to notice Tony standing in the doorway, his arms folded across his chest. Exhaling soundlessly, he glances up. "You’re up late."
