 M. Compassion

All the same, Bruce still feels a bit sorry for the man; he’s been half a trainwreck ever since the fight ended. That, more than anything, is why he agreed to stay.

 

Someone needs to, and though Tony won’t admit it to anyone and Bruce hasn’t known him that long, Bruce can see how much Pepper leaving has just added to the wreckage of Chicago.

 

So Bruce stays. It’s only going to be for a little while. Just until Tony can find his feet. Besides, there’s the Avengers to think of–he still has no idea how that worked, when every sign pointed to a chemical reaction that would go wrong if breathed against. It’s interesting, intringuing, even if they’re still working out what to do next because, truth to tell, there’s still quite a bit missing.

 

Tony, for whatever it’s worth, seems to appreciate it when he’s not drunk or distracted by the thousands of thoughts in his head.
