I love this! Bruce and Tony are speaking their own language on multiple levels, and the way you wrote it was perfect.

Dang, this was really good

Just found this and it is really good.

To be honest Bruce when he was without the Hulk in the comics was far more scary than the opposite. Hulk honestly just wants to be left alone most of the time and can only take so much BS before flipping out because "hey it works". Bruce though...Bruce without the Hulk acting as his anchor was far more frightening. You can see more and more just what Bruce is a broken child who honestly have no reason to play games more so after he was free of the hulk. While he is a smart man that does not mean he is a good man. He has done too much and seen too much to really trust the world if he did get rid of the hulk and as shown in the comics activity worked to get Hulk back. Heck people forget that everything that Hulk is, all his darker and more twisted impulses came form Bruce in the first place. Their is a reason that Maestro was such as powerful and quiet frankly frightening villain as he took the darker impulses of both along with the Strength of Hulk and intelligence of Bruce.
Anyway good story.

I've never read a single Bruce-centric before, never really felt the desire. Your teaser summary, though, had me greedily swallowing every word of this fic. My favourite line in any avenger fic is officially - 'because honestly, if all they see him for is the other guy, then they hardly deserve to know he could kill them as Bruce, too'.
