Romanoff told him not to bother. Tony told her that he'd take her wishes under consideration but that he wasn't looking for her. Banner had been his tie to reality when the world was going to shit. He actually cared, he talked to him, he played along. They were great together, better in so many ways than Pepper was. Not that Pepper wasn't great, but she had a company to run and sometimes that was more important than the man who gave her that company.
So Tony searched for Bruce Banner most of his waking day. He didn't have leads to follow, not like Sam did for Steve's missing in action bestie, so he was just having Friday run through every satellite scan in the last few months. He didn't know what else to try except that grid approach and it was wearing him out.
When the phone rang, when Friday told him who was calling, Tony almost told her to send it to voice mail. He was lonely. The Vision had his own thing going on and he wasn't JARVIS anymore. Pepper was at another convention, this one in Singapore he thought. Maybe Shanghai. Something with an S at the front, in Asia. He couldn't be bothered to remember. Banner was back on the run again...
So Tony cleared his throat and had Friday put the call through.
"Cap? What's our replacement band doing this time? Same old covers of the old songs we use to?"
