《Science-Bros: the really long and twisty tale of Tony and Bruce.》Doom, you're a jerk.

Everyone jumped, and tensed up a bit. 'And Fury says you have to calm down...' Hulk said, a second before Fury spoke.
"Dr. Banner, you need to calm down."
"Actually, I think Brucie should find an open place, and vent. Logan was his friend, and is most likely DEAD now Fury. Let him be a bit mad." Tony almost yelled, hurt by not only the news, but by the fact it seemed that no one was going to take into account that Bruce would be upset that Wolverine was gone, as well as likely most of their friends.
Bruce nodded slightly to Tony's suggestion and said quietly "I....I need to let it out..."
Natasha went over to him and said to Fury as they walked out, "We'll be back in a few minute..... maybe more." As they walked out, Clint came back with food and was puzzled when he saw the two walk pass them, and even more so when he reached Tony's room.
"Make sure that Hulk has a chance out, and no shooting them Nat!" Tony called out, before everyone else explained to Clint to not shoot Loki, and what happened.
'If she shoots me, I'm flicking her across a field.' Hulk warned, knowing that Bruce would snap pretty soon.
Bruce ignored the Hulk as the assassin led him to a parking lot. "Okay, just let it out, Bruce. I won't stop you." Natasha said quietly, giving him a quick hug before she stepped back to give him some space. Feeling tears building up, Bruce threw his head back a let out a roar, letting the Other Guy take over.
The Hulk looked to the side, and saw a bolder. He jumped up, imagined it was Doom, and turned it into sand. He started smashing and roaring at different rocks and boulders. He picked up one smallish rock, and threw it up, watching as it sailed out of the atmosphere
Natasha bit her lips a little as she stood their and let her friend vent. She wanted both Bruce and the Hulk to let it all out, hoping he'll feel better. Probably not but it's better than bottling it all up.
The Hulk breathed hard for a moment, before letting out a scream of frustration, anger, and sadness. He yelled for Logan, for every student who had been at the mansion, for the Fantastic Four, even for those in Asgard.
~~~~~~~~
"So, that Laverian nutcase has the Tesseract now and possibly kidnapped or killed our allies? Shit...we're screwed." Clint said as he place the bag of food down on the table near Tony's bed.
"Yeah, that's what we all agreed on. Though, apparently, Hulk saw through a clocking device or whatever he had on when he came after me... again." Tony said smoothly, arms going behind his head.
"And you believed what Mr. Green Hyde said? I thought he couldn't even think straight to see what's in front of him?" Clint said as he sat down.
"Well, you were wrong. Apparently. He may have slightly anger problems..." Tony started, only to be interrupted.
"And, what? The beast told you what's what?" Clint said, jumping out of his chair when he hear the Hulk's roar and scream.
~~~~~~~
Bruce was upset. Upset at the fact he lost someone close and that Thor and Loki's family is gone. What if Doom have already killed the students or Stephen or Pyms? He almost had he chance with Tony. Re-remeber that mad Bruce even more angry, angry at the fact Doom almost killed his closest friend.

Hulk yelled again, but suddenly stopped, and lifted a finger to his face, wiping away a little trail of wetness away from the corner of his eye. He looked confused at the digit, with a single tear on the end. He has never cried before.
~~~~~~~
"Back off Hawkass." Tony moved to get out of the bed, but was held in place by Steve. "Hulk and Bruce are apart of the team, remember that Clint." Tony settled to say, glaring at his, ignoring the sounds coming from outside.
Clint sighed quietly and handed Tony his burger and Thor his poptarts. "Whatever, if he dares to hurt Tasha, your ass is mine, Stark."
~~~~~~~
'I'm sorry, big guy.....Guess you really do feel my sorrow huh?" Bruce said, no mock or sternness in his voice, just pain.
Natasha notices the Hulk stopped smashing, slowly walking over to him but kept her distance if he was still angry. "You....you okay now?" she asked him quietly.
Hulk looked at her, and nodded, answering both of them. He sniffed, and let Bruce come back out.
~~~~~~~~
"Hulk won't hurt her, unless she attacks him. Hello! Remember when I took a nose dive when Reindeer Games over there decided to try and take over Earth?" Tony raised his voice, ignoring the glare that Loki threw at him. "Damn it man, why don't you take your head out of your ass, and look around? Hulk was created mad, and is only let out when Bruce is angry, yeah, that's true. But saying he is incapable of any other emotion is stuck up, arrogant, and the dumbest thing I have ever heard."
Clint stopped for a moment as stared at the billionaire. He really must cared for Bruce and the Hulk that much. Sure they were friends and all but still, Tony took his side over anyones was quite shocking.
~~~~~~~~
Bruce fell to his knee as he tries to breathe, wiping a few of his tears away. Natasha rushed over to his side and hugged him, soothing him a little. "Let's...let's head back. I'll get you some clean clothes, okay?" She said as she helped the physicist on his feet. Bruce just nodded as she led him back inside. Hulk went deep inside Bruce's mind, letting out small sobs.
~~~~~~~~
Tony was slightly panting at the end of his rant, and looked at everyones shocked faces. "Bruce is my friend, my Science Bro, and hell, if Hulk ever came up to me and asked to go stomp around New York, I'd go in a flash. They are people, just like us. So yeah. I will stand up for them. Especially when they can't do it themselves."
Bruce and Natasha came back into the room, Bruce already in clothes the russian gave him and sat down on one of the chairs, hand buried in his faces. He didn't even answer Clint or anyone when they asked if he was okay, which cause Natasha to glare at Clint.
Tony sat as far up as he could, looking at the medical man. "Bruce, buddy, come here please." He spoke gently, moving over a bit, leaving room for another person. His eyes flickered to Loki, who just gave him a look. "Brucie, common science bro."
Bruce slowly got up from his sit and walked over to Tony, ignoring the others as he sat over next to the engineer in his bed.
Tony pulled him into a hug, rubbing his back slightly. Bruce clings onto Tony tightly as he cries into his shoulder, gripping onto his as if he would disappear forever. Tony glared at Steve, who got the hint. "We should go see if there is any of our allies left. Common team. Bruce can stay here and look after Tony and Loki."

Everyone filed out of the room, Thor right behind Clint to make sure he left, and to give a sympathetic nod to Bruce and Loki. Tony waited a minute after everyone left and the door closed, then made small, almost completely silent, shushing noises into Bruce's ear, holding him close.
Bruce breathes in a little and shook a little as he tries to calm down. He wanted to kill Doom. For Logan, for Thor and Loki and their people, for his team, for Tony. He wanted to find Doom and make him suffer.
'You're getting mad again.' Hulk warned, slightly surprised of how angry Bruce was today. He normally went weeks, if not months, of not being let out.Then again, Bruce normally didn't get so much bad news all at once.
Tony pulled Bruce closer, still rubbing his back. "Don't worry Brucie, we'll find them. And for those we can't find, Doom will pay dearly."
Bruce sobs slowly died down and nodded slightly, refusing to let go of the billionaire.
"There. A bit better?" Tony asked, still being calm and gently around the doctor. He looked up, and noticed Loki looking at them. "Can I help you Bag-O-Cats?"
Bruce breathes in a little slowly, still shaken at the fact Logan and some of their of friends and teammate are gone, all because Doom wanted to be dominate or king or some bullshit he would never understand.
Loki was about to open his mouth, when another portal opened in the room, and two figures fell out. One of them let out a gruff groan, and stood. "Hey Bub. You guys miss me?" Logan smirked, clawes out, casually. He looked over at Loki, with a curious facial expression. "Weren't you the guy I was tossed to?" Loki just barely kept his jaw from dropping.
Bruce pulled away from Tony and was beyond shocked. "L-L-Logan?!" he stammers a little, smiling slightly at the fact he wasn't dead.
"Yep. Doom thought just removing all my skin and vital organs would kill me. Too bad he forgot bone marrow." The man smirked, as looked at the other person who fell through the portal with him. "You okay ma'am?"
She shood up, and then the god of Mischief let his jaw drop. "F-Frigga?"
Bruce climbed out of Tony's bed and went over to where Logan and Frigga was at.
"Hey Bruce. Did ya miss me?" Logan joked, before noticing the tear stained face."Hey... What's going on?"
Tony spoke up then. "Dr. Doom had the tessalect, and we can't find anyone else... Sorry Logan, but we haven't heard from any of the X-Men."
Bruce breathed in as his wiped the last year from his eyes. "We haven't heard from anyone and some assume the others might be dead...like you were....."
Logan looked shocked, and turned suddenly to the door, clawes popping out. Foots steps could be heard, only two pairs, and Steve swung around the doorway, looking ready to fight. He stopped short, eyes wide at the sight of Logan. "You... You were reported KIA..."
Bruce glared up at Logan and said sternly while trying to stay calm, "What the fuck were you thinking!? Trying to face Doom with a fucking Tesseract...in Asgard no less!!"
"Hey, he was asking for it! I had jumped on his back just as he teleported, and he was about to kill a kid! The kid was barely three years old! What did you expect?" Logan argued, not scared of Bruce of the Hulk. Steve still stood frozen in place, stunned that Logan wasn't a pile of metal covered bones.
"Captain Rogers, would you inform Thor that his mother is in fact alive and present?" Loki spoke up, watching with interest at the two men in the middle of the room.
Though Bruce was mad at the fact Logan tried to attack someone who almost ripped his flesh, but his expression soften slightly when he old him he protected the children at Xavier's mansion.
"So, we cool? Or am I going to have to fight with Hulk. I just finished healing, so I rather not." Logan joked, sitting on the edge of Tony's bed and pulling out a cigar. "Anybub got a light?"
Bruce shook his head a little, chuckling slightly. "We're in a hospital, smart ass. You can't smoke that here."
"He," Logan pointed to Loki with the cigar as he spoke. "Is a god with healing powers or whatever. And Tony can always either buy a brand new pair of lungs, or make his own." Logan stuck the end back in his mouth, looking for some source of flame to light it.
"You're unbelievable, you know that?" Bruce said as he grabbed as chair to sit beside Tony's bed.
"Whatever." Logan got slightly annoyed, unable to find anything. "Seriously?"
He moved to get up, but the loud sound of heavy feet running down the hall stopped him. Frigga turned to the sound, just as Thor came into view of the room. "M-Mother?" Thor said, and then plowed into her, hugging her as if he would let go, she would disappear.
Bruce smiles slightly as he watched Thor reunite with his mother, sighing a little as he looked over at Tony. "We need to find where the others are at. Pyms, Four, the X-Men, find them and stop Doom."
"Sounds easy enough. Give me a few hours, and I'll be right as rain." Tony moved to get out of the bed again, and moaned in pain.
"What's your problem bub?" Logan asked.
"Doom tried to poison me... twice... With everything."
Logan raised an eyebrow. "I doubt everything."
"Everything from Antifreeze to snake venom." Tony smirked, as if it was something to be proud of.
"He was poisoned, I was blame for it somehow, and then poisoned again....I almost had him, I could of just killed him right there..." Bruce paused for a moment and ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
'Do I even have to say it Bruce? Do we need to go back outside? I wouldn't mind seeing if I could hit the sun with a rock.' Hulk said, watching the whole thing through Bruce's eyes. 'And could you tell Logan that I'm glad he isn't dead?'
Logan frowned. "How could they blame you? There are times where I think you and Tony are a couple."
'I can handle it, big guy. I'm perfectly fine.' He told the Other Guy, telling an almost semi truth. Bruce leans back a little, the back of his head leaning on the wall. "The Other Guy is glad you're okay, Logan." he said quietly.
"How do you know?" Logan asked, actually curious. "What, do you two now chat inside your big brain?"
"Some what, yes." Bruce mutters, annoyed that now Logan was gonna have an issues about like everyone expect Tony.
"Huh... If he ever feels like beating me up, would you mind giving me a heads up?" Tony laughed, and reached for a high five. Logan complied.
"Nice. So that's three that think Hulk isn't just a raging monster, right?"
Logan snorted. "Please, I'm the raging monster in this room. Hulk is just the more known one."
Bruce looks back at the two and smiles a little at them. "Glad someone doesn't think of me as a mindless beast or the bad guy..."
"I've never thought that. When I heard about Harlem, I ask Pepper if we could meet up. She just gave me this weird look." Tony shrugged.
"There's no hard feelings between me and you, or Hulk. But I have a serious question." The other two looked at him. "Please tell me you guys have beer."
