Tony sat at the kitchen table, a hand cupping his smoking hot mug of coffee, and his other hand protectively pressed over his Arc reactor. His kitchen was empty of food, and he hadn't eaten for several days. If it wasn't for that, Tony wouldn't be in the communal kitchen. Luckily none of the avengers were currently in the kitchen. Even Steve who was usually up early wasn't up. Tony had his cup of coffee, and also had a plate sitting on his lap, with two bagels sitting on it, on halfway eaten. Tony picked up his coffee, and took a big sip. Right as the other Avengers walked in.

"Tony-" Steve started, but Tony spewed his coffee all over the table, and jolted to his feet, his bagels spilling off his lap, falling to his feet.

"Don't bother. I was just leaving." Tony briskly said, and grabbed his half empty coffee mug, and strode past them, not making eye-contact, and whirled into the elevator. Before the doors closed, Tony stuck his hand out, and the doors stayed open. Tony noticed them staring at him, and cleared his throat. "Bruce, you can come if you want. But you know if you don't want to it's fine..." Tony then stepped back. He saw Bruce look at the other Avengers he was standing with, and then Bruce jogged forward and got in the elevator with Tony as the doors slid shut.

"See you guys later." Bruce said, as the doors shut firmly. Tony leaned against the wall and asked JARVIS to take him to the lab. He then looked at Bruce, and as Bruce opened his mouth to talk, Tony held up his hand.

"Ah-ahah. Shh. I bet you'll tell me to go talk to the team and have a great emotional time, and I'll just say it I-" Tony was about to finish when Bruce interrupted.

"You should try to talk to them, Tony." Bruce said, Tony crossed his arms, and continued.

"As I was saying, I will."
"Wait what?"
"I'll talk to them. I'm not really mad."
"But then why did you…"
"Just to make them squirm."
"That was mean,"
"Well I am a cruel, cruel man." Tony jokingly said, as the elevator doors slid open. Him and Bruce walked out, and walked into Tony's workshop.\

"So, any new projects?"
"Well, I was thinking about gravity and then I had this idea, and it's really cool, and-"

Bruce smiled as Tony rambled on and on. Things would hopefully be back to normal soon.

Soon.
