"Who do you think would win in a fight, you or a whale?" Tony asked before popping another grape into his mouth. Bruce let out a frustrated sigh.

"Well a whale is quite bigger than me." Bruce began and Tony stopped him with a raised hand.

"We've been over this Bruce. When I say you, I mean other you. You know, angry green you. Not." He gestured to Dr. Banner, "You."

"I don't see why the Hulk would fight a whale." He replied, leaning down to look into the microscope in front of him.

"Hypothetically." Tony commented, watching his friend study his blood sample.

"The treatments aren't working." Bruce answered, derailing the genius from his line of questioning.

"Damn. We'll have to go back to the drawing board." He slumped his shoulders, meeting Bruce's eyes with a concerned look.

"Maybe a higher dosage?" The doctor offered, but Tony shook his head.

"That's not going to help big guy." Tony slightly pushed Bruce out of the way to see for himself. "If you really want your other half gone, we're going to have to approach this differently. Are you sure this is worth all the trouble?"

"Tony." Bruce shifted from foot to foot.

"I'm making you uncomfortable." Tony spoke as if it was an apology.

"No, I'm just not used to this." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"What? Talking about the Hulk?"

"No. Someone accepting him." He met Tony's eyes. "That's why he saved you. You accepted him from the beginning. Something I never did."

"Don't get all sentimental on me now Brucey." Tony joked, slipping into his comfort zone. "We've all got our baggage, yours is just…angrier than most." There was an awkward tension, they both stood there staring at each other, unsure how to proceed.

"An elephant." Tony looked at Bruce with concern.

"An elephant?" He repeated, the confusion evident in his tone of voice.

"Yeah. Do you think I could beat an elephant?" He responded, an easy smile slipping into place.

"Why would you fight an elephant?" Tony chuckled.

"Because they looked at Hulk wrong." This made Tony laugh.

"You're telling me that the Hulk beat up an elephant, because the elephant looked at him wrong."

"Yep." Bruce studied Tony, "So who do you think won?" The genius slowly made his way over to his computer.

"I think I'm going to have to do a research for this one. JARVIS, bring up everything we know about an elephant's strength, as well as the Hulk's. We're going to have to run some simulations."

Please tell me what you think!
