When they all finally arrived to the tower. Tony told them all to ask Jarvis about anything they could possibly need, and if there was an emergency then Jarvis would notify him. Then promptly disappeared into the lab before they could get a word in edgewise.
After he left, they all stood in the middle of the common room in awe. For a minute they put away their constant worry and admired all that he had put together for them in such a short time.
They were on the common room floor, which was decked it in everything anyone could imagine. A gigantic kitchen filled with everything you could ever need. A dining room with enough room for the entire team and anyone they could every invite. A entire theater room that seemed to be filled with every game console ever invented. As they all started to put their bags down Natasha asked jarvis to show them their rooms.
"Sir has designed floors for every one of you. There is also a training or gym floor filled with anything you could need. Sir has also request that if there is anything that you need or would like added to your floor, the communal floor or the training floor to simply ask me and it will be ordered and shipped to your desired location as soon as possible."
Steves head was spinning, "Floors? How did he …."
"Steve, I have no idea." Natasha patted him on the back. "But for now just go to your floor, try to rest. We will regroup in a couple hours and disguise what to do with Tony. If we are gonna be a team then we are gonna have to start acting like it."
"I agree with Natasha" Bruce said, "We all need sleep, and we won't be any use to him of we don't know what we're doing and just go in half cocked.
Roughly 3 hours later when they had all gotten a chance to shower eat and nap they were back in the common room. They had all migrated over to the theater area and were sitting on the various couches and chairs.
Natasha, of course was the first to speak up. "So we can all agree that the first thing we need to do is get Stark out of his lab."
Nods and grunts of approval echoed around the room.
"So how are we going to do that. He doesn't know Clint, he doesn't trust me since after we first me understandable. He has issues with Steve because of his father. That only leaves Banner."
Everyone immediately looked at Bruce. The quite scientist seemed shocked. "Umm...I don't know if thats the best idea…"
"Banner," Natasha interrupted him with a raise of her eyebrow. " I can't force you to do anything you don't want to do, if you have a better idea i'm listening."
"...I'll talk to him. I just don't know what to say. I dont want to hurt him. Me or the other guy"
Clint spoke up. "How about you just get him upstairs. You dont need to have some kinda world changing revelation with him. Just get him to try and get to know the rest of us."
"Yeah, I saw the way he took a liking to you on the helicarrier, maybe he'll be willing to at least listen to you." Steve said
"Okay, all I can do is try though. Don't expect some big revelation or something."
"Thats all we ask" Natasha said.
"I could possibly be of assistance Doctor Banner, Ms Romanov" Jarvis said making the entire room startle.
"I hadn't realized you were listening" Natasha said, her slight unease shared through the group.
"I am always listening Ms. Romanov. It is my purpose. Though I do not take heed to anything I pick up unless it is to do with Sir. In this case I feel I would be of some assistance if you would have it."
Not a hour later Bruce was standing outside the glass lab doors with Tony's favorite food, a burger and fries, balanced in one hand and a box of donuts in the other.
He waited a moment, not sure how to go about going in , when Tony looked up from his work and made a vague wave in his direction. The doors instantly opened and Bruce walked in and sat down the food on the nearest counter.
"Sorry Brucey, I forgot to give you the codes. Mi Casa Su Casa and all that. Though you do have a lab down the hall. Im sure Jarvis will show it to you. Oh what is that amazing smell, is that what I think it is. Oh you shouldnt have. Which does not mean that i don't want it. Speaking of wanting it, bring it over here."
Bruce chuckled and the incessant babbling. Bringing the bags over to the desk that Tony was working at. Hoping he wasn't doing anything to sensitive.
"Do you think I could talk to you for a minute Tony?" Bruce said tentatively. He had no idea how he was supposed to go about this.
"Of course Bruce, i'm all ears. Let it out" Tony said through stuffing his face with fries.
"Its about...you. Well not you per se. But that you've been down here for so long." Bruce stammered out. "We just thought that it would be nice if you know…..if you came upstairs with the rest of us. We can't really do team bonding if ya know, we don't have the whole team. Which is really the point of us all living here, us being a team."
Tony interrupted his rambling, "Bruce, look if it means that much to you i will come up more okay. How about we have a movie night or something? Will that make you feel better?"
Bruce sighed in relief. "Yes thats a start." He knew that Tony had caved a little too quickly but he wasn't going to question his rare good fortune.
"Okay, I guess I'll just leave you too it." Bruce said awkwardly, not quite sure what to do now that his job was done.
"Hey not so quick, Why don't you help me out. See i was looking at the specs for the tower so i could improve the security. With all of us living here its only a matter of time."
"Thats….really not my field of expertise Tony…."
"So, i know that. Doesn't mean you can't help. Just stay a little while."
"I guess it couldn't hurt. I'm not gonna be much help though" Bruce said with a exasperated sigh
"Says you." Tony said, Grabbing Bruce by the arm and dragging him towards Dummy, You and Butterfingers. "Okay its time for introductions!"
