Sometimes I wonder if you're just doing this out of spite.

That's it, isn't it? You know that's unhealthy.

[...okay, maybe that was the wrong thing to say.

Internally wincing here.]

You did what you had to do, I'm sure. It's not like I know how things work there, anyway.

We do what we have to do.

[Sure. That's why he's there, right? They hate him, and it doesn't look like it's working, but it's better than total annihilation?

Or something. He shrugs noncommittally.]

SHIELD maintains pretty effective global security these days. People are happy with that.

[Anything is better than total annihilation. Bruce would agree.]

As long as it works. [A smile.] Don't beat yourself too much over it.

It works. It always works.

[Until it breaks, of course. He frowns slightly at the smile.]

You don't know what you're saying.

I guess I don't.

[Shrugs.]

It's prorably not my place to say. I'm not on the best term with SHIELD myself.

No, that's true.

[He didn't mean that... damn.]

Sorry. I know you're just trying to help.

I know I'm not exactly the number one person to go for sagely advice.

It's not that, I just... Things happened.

It got bad.

[...if he can pat you, he would.

Just so you know.]

It seems to be a recurring theme. [Pause.] I think I said that before.

You might have.

[Haha... Well, even hitting him would be something at this point. He's not picky.]

But that's a different case. It can be better for you.

[Bruce would never hit anybody besides Ross. And Schmidt. But they deserve it anyway.]

Maybe. It's still too early to determine anything.

[A lot of people would argue that Tony is just as bad.

But he actually smiles there.]

Early is okay. You're starting out. It means things can change.

[And Bruce smiles back.]

I'll be sure to tell you when they do.

I'm sure you will.
