Tony presses a finger to his lips and gives Bruce a 'shh'ing sort of command before he opens the door to Pepper's room. The place is lined in monitors and recording equipment but otherwise, he's done his best to make it comfortable for her even if she refuses to come back to their actual bed two floors up. If she thinks herself a danger, she's just as likely to burn the place down from here as she is from beside him but...

He's not going to give her any more fuel for the panic fire, pun intended.

Tony lets Bruce in first and follows after. "Pep? Honey? Guess who's here?"

Bruce thinks for a second about 'Smash'ing Tony for the name but just sighs with quiet frustration instead. Why he puts up with this... because he has a friend now in the world even if how that happened confused the hell out of him.

Instead he gives a shy smile to Pepper. "Thanks. One of the few things I can cook competently. A lot of people paid in eggs or other basic food." A little shrug.

"Don't even think about it, Mr. Stark." She does swat his leg now, but it's playful and not anything other than a love tap.

She relaxes next to them, stretching before setting her plate to the side. Having a full stomach is nice - she burns through so much food that it nearly takes double to keep her going.

"They were poor, but they always wanted to pay somehow. The clinic I worked out of was the upper floor of someone's home. Ended up eating mostly in what they paid. Not going to turn away someone who's sick because they couldn't pay in money... And a lot of them had chickens. Easy and cheap to keep."

If asked, Bruce would have said that it was complicated. If he controlled the change, she would have been safe, he was fairly sure. The Hulk's aggression still came out against people, but it was a more controlled aggression. If he hadn't controlled the change, it depended on what she chose to do. As long as she didn't get in his way, she probably would have been safe from any direct damage, though to Bruce more of the Hulk's damage came from flying debris and property destruction than directly hitting things. Equally... The Hulk seemed to avoid harming women, in some strange way...

"Besides, Pepper is worth more eggs than exist on earth, from what I hear she does for you."

"Tony," Pepper admonishes, pale cheeks reddening easily. "Really?"

Are you really announcing to poor Bruce that she's not exactly Miss Innocent? You're going to scandalize the man.

"Thank you for the compliment, Bruce. Ignore Tony. He's missing a few screws."

"Tony!" Bruce gasps at the other, his own cheeks flushing red at his words.

He immediately turns to Pepper, licking his lips in a nervous habit. "I believe you have every right to do whatever you'd like to him in punishment as that was very rude."

Not quite realizing what his own words sounded like.

...Bruce you are not making this any better, nope.

Pepper rubs a hand over her face and just -- shakes her head.

Because seriously?

WHAT DO YOU SAY.

Watch me be SUBTLE~

Bruce, still a touch oblivious, thinks about it. "I'd suggest she go somewhere she's truly appreciated but you do, in your way. She's clearly tied down with you. Maybe you should just- well she's been doing that too, making you sleep on the couch... Maybe she should make you do paperwork. Your own paperwork. You'd be hopeless."

"Iiii don't think we have, no."

She cannot believe this is a discussion they are having in front of someone.

"But I do like the paperwork idea."

...

........

What?!

Bruce's cheeks are bright red as he glares at Tony, but then looks even more surprised at Pepper. Finally he sums it all up with, "you two are clearly both made for each other, and keep me out of your kinks, Stark."

Pepper will play along. Why not, right? Everything else is screwed up, this is just a little reprieve. Or something.

"Hm. Do you think we will?" She pretends to mull it over. "I'm not sure..."

Not her too! Bruce looks betrayed towards Pepper before shifting, flustered. "Definitely deserve each other. If you two are planning those sorts of things- I shouldn't interrupt. If you'll excuse me-" already working to stand, cheeks crimson. Their combined words put dangerous images in his mind.
