"Banner's whereever he wants to be." And that wasn't with him. Tony thought he could share the man with Natasha since Bruce had to share him with Pepper (and he knew Bruce couldn't actually consummate anything considering an elevated heart rate could be the death of his partner). But to have his best friend run out on him so soon after his other best friend because a weird bio-vibranium gem-wearing Avenger?
It was all really hard to swallow. Tony had a lot of abandonment issues. A lot.
"So what happ... Let me get. Maximoff wriggled her fingers and blew everything up?" Tony mused once he saw the state of the machines.
