1. Animal Cruelty

Tony and Bruce were taking one of their Science Bros™ head-clearing country trips in Tony's beloved Acura, enjoying not being stuck in the labs on one of the hottest days of the year. As they were discussing new theories to distribute vaccinations and health care to some of the areas Bruce had been working in, they saw something large being thrown out of the SUV in front of them.
"Tony, stop the car," Bruce said in a carefully calm voice.
As they stopped, Bruce went down to investigate what turned out to be a large-ish box. He carefully carried the box back up to the car, before opening it in front of Tony. Five very young kittens were mewing and clambering on top of each other. They had obviously not been cared for by whoever had tried to get rid of them so callously. Bruce put the box down on the passenger seat.
"I'll meet you back at the tower," Bruce said, eyes flashing green.
Tony nodded and turned the car around, knowing what was coming next as Bruce headed off down the road in the direction of the SUV.
