[Wow.

Tony takes a moment to blink at Bruce, trying to find the right response to that.]

Everyone loves ice cream?

Apparently. [Even the Hulk.] Though...I think he took it personally with the music jingle. [That was the first thing to get smashed.]

Not his song, huh? [He laughs gently at that.]

[Nearly a smile again, you're getting closer Tony.]

Not really, no. Though I haven't really asked him what kind of music he would like anyway. [Probably whatever Bruce likes.]

[Does he get a cookie if he wins?]

I'm going to guess heavy metal, but maybe he'd surprise us. Who knows? He might be into something Classical.

Don't encourage him. [He'll...probably be more on the list of people Bruce and Hulk tolerate more than others?]

Why not? Classical is pretty good some of the time, and I like a good dose of bass.

[That works. He's just trying to keep the mood light.]

[Bruce appreciates the 'normal' talk.]

I don't have anything against classical...it's good for slower days. [i.e. when he's not the Hulk]

[Good, that's something they agree on.]

Right. So ice cream sundaes and Beethoven? I'll remember that the next time we need a slow day.

I'm thinking any food would do really. So long as it was edible.

You make it sound simple.

Simple is good. I like simple.

You're the one that likes complicated things.

I don't like it... It's just the way things are.

[Okay, maybe that's not exactly true.]

It's the way things are...around you. [pointing out the flaw in your theory]

...Okay. Point.

But it's not just because of me. Not all the time.

[crossing his arms]

Uh-huh.

[Sure it isn't.]

You know, not everything is my fault. No matter what you all seem to think.

[Bruce looks mildly puzzled.]

Sorry? I don't think everything is your fault.

[Bruce is usually blaming himself. Or the Hulkbusters. Or whoever might be chasing him at the time.]

[It's a reflex. Sorry, Bruce.]

No- I, uh, I didn't mean you exactly...

[Hey, no worries.]

So...someone else is blaming you for stuff?

[Oh, only everyone. You know. Because he gets himself in trouble like that.]

I think my mun has made it a personal joke.

Ah. [He sees.]

[Maybe Tony should find a situation where he's not to blame? Like a meme or something?]

No. Don't take the hint.

Having problems?

[See, he's kind of amused by that. Not maliciously, but it's just a meme, right?]

[Bruce is looking slightly annoyed.]

It's bad enough the Hulk talks in my head and vice versa...

[And then there's the mun :3]

She just encourages him to break stuff too. It's not right. [Now look who's complaining.]

Well, that just means she likes you.

[Ringing endorsement right there.]

She wants you to have fun. [Pause.] And break stuff. Not important stuff?
