"Blueberry?"

---

Will, Bruce and Tony were in the lab together working on ways to find the cube. The younger Banner hadn't been listening to their convention much, just standing at the other side of the room, but he quickly turned when he heard his brother yell out in pain.

He saw Stark with a sharp object in his hand and Bruce holding his side, "Nothing?" Tony asked as he leaned in close to look at Bruce's eyes. Will let out a relived sigh, knowing his brother is alright.

"Hey!" Will jumped at the sudden voice and turned to see Steve Rogers walk in and glare at Tony, "Are you nuts?"

"Jury's out. You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret?" He asked Bruce, while the doctor continued to ignore him, "Mellow Jazz, Bongo Drums, huge bag of weed?" This made the older brother chuckle and shake his head.

"It's Will, actually."

This caused Tony to look towards said man and smile widely, "Would you look at that! Brother Love, at its finest."

Steve cuts in before Will could say anything, "Is everything a joke to you?"

"Funny things are." Will had to bite his lip to stop himself from laughing at that one. He was really enjoying Tony's company.

"Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny." He told Tony, but then turned to Banner to say, "No offence, Doc." He also glanced at Will, to show him that he didn't mean to offend anyone. The younger brother just nodded to him, keeping his eyes locked to the big star on his uniform.

"It's alright, I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things."

The millionaire started to walk backwards while pointing towards Bruce, "You're tip-toeing, big man, you need to strut."

"And you need to focus on the problem, Mr Stark."

"Do you think I'm not? Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us?" he questioned. Will had to agree with him, something about this didn't seem right. "I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables."

"You think Fury's hiding something?"

Will, who had been silent for a long time, said quietly "Well, he is a spy, Mr Rogers."

Tony Stark clicked his fingers and pointed at Will, "Banner 2.0 is right. He's a spy. Captain, he's the spy. His secrets have secrets. It's bugging them, too." He said, popping something into his mouth then pointing to Bruce and Will, "Isn't it?"

"Uh..." Bruce said, looking at all the men in the room, "I just want to finish my work here, and..."

"Doctors?" Rogers asked, looking between the brothers.

Bruce was quiet for a moment as he took his glasses off. Will decided to step forward and stand next to the Captain, looking up at him, but not in the eyes, due to his small size, "'A warm light for all mankind', Loki's jab at Fury about the Cube."

Steve nodded, looking down at the youngest, "I heard it."

"I think that was meant for you, Tony." The man turned his head away and extended his arm over the table towards Will, in his hand was a small bag of blueberries. He looked confused as to where Tony got them from, but he gently took a few out the bag and whispered a small 'Thank you' to him. That caused Tony to send a quite wink at him, making Will blush again, before turning to Bruce who started talking and letting him take some blueberries as well.

"Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news."

"The Stark Tower? That big, ugly..." Steve was cut off by Will gently hitting his arm to keep him quiet, but then widening his eyes when he felt the muscle, while Tony glared at him, "...building in New York?"

"It's powered by an Arc Reactor," Bruce continued, "A self-sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for, what, a year?" He asked Tony.

"It's just a prototype. I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now. That's what he's getting at."

"So, why didn't S.H.I.E.L.D. bring him in on the Tesseract project?" Will questioned, his voice getting a little louder as he grew more confident in speaking, which Bruce felt very proud about, "What are they doing in the energy business in the first place?"

"I should probably look into that once my decryption program finishes breaking into all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secure files." Tony said, walking around the table holding a device.

"I'm sorry, did you say..." Steve started to ask before Stark interrupted.

"Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours, I'll know every dirty secret S.H.I.E.L.D. has ever tried to hide." He told the three, he then extended his bag of fruit to Steve, "Blueberry?"

However, the Captain ignored him, "Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around." Will nodded in agreement, Tony was hacking into their data base, no wonder they didn't trust him.

"An intelligence organisation that fears intelligence? Historically, not awesome."

"I think Loki's trying to wind us up. This is a man who means to start a war, and if we don't stay focused, he'll succeed." Captain America said, glancing at both the Banners both turning back to Stark, "We have orders. We should follow them."

"Following's not really my style." Tony Stark replied, afterwards popping a few blueberries into his mouth.

Rogers sighed, "And you're all about style, aren't you?"

The billionaire raised his eyebrows, "Of the people in this room, which one is, A) Wearing a spangly outfit, B) Unstable, and C) Not of use?"

Will and Bruce looked at each other with frowns, they weren't sure which one of them was B and which one was C. That was not a very comforting thought for either of them.

Bruce turned back to the two men who were glaring at each other, "Steve, tell me none of this smells a little funky to you."

Will, who was trying not to laugh, whispered to his brother, "Who says 'Funky' anymore?" Bruce responded by standing on his twin's toes.

Rogers stared at Tony for a little longer before turning away saying, "Just find the Cube."

The three stood in an awkward silence. Will hesitantly said, "Well...th-that was tense."

As Stark and the eldest Banner started to work, Will stayed standing by the object that Loki had with him when they brought him in, as the other two went to the other side of the room, working. He could almost feel the energy flowing from it, it made the hairs on his neck stand up. He could feel shivers going down his back. Will didn't know what was causing it and he didn't want to know. Turning back to the other two in the room, he decided to listen in.

"We'll read all about it." Bruce said, gesturing to Will and himself.

Tony nodded, "Or you two will be suiting up with the rest of us."

That made Will freeze up. He wasn't ready to go out into the field. At all. What if he shot someone? An innocent? One of the team? Bruce? Natasha? Tony? It hurt too much to think about it.

Bruce chuckled dryly, "You see, I don't get a suit of armour. I'm exposed. Like a nerve. It's a nightmare."

"I've got a cluster of shrapnel trying every second to crawl its way into my heart. This," Stark said, tapping the arc reactor in his chest, "Stops it. This little circle of light, it's part of me now, not just armour." He walked towards Bruce, standing on the other side of a holographic screen that Bruce was using. "it's a terrible privilege."

"But you can control it."

"Because I learned how." Stark replied.

But Bruce shook his head, "It's different." He said while bring his hand up to touch the holographic screen.

"Hey." Tony said, swiping the bottom of the screen to get rid of the data, so Bruce would have to focus on Tony, "I read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you."

"So, you're saying that the Hulk..." Bruce paused looking down at the ground before looking back up, correcting himself, "The Other Guy saved my life? That's nice." He said nodding, "It's a nice sentiment. Saved it for what?"

Whatever Bruce believes, Will is just glad to have his brother still alive, cursed or not he still loves him.

"I guess we'll find out." Tony stated, walking away.

"I might not like that."

"And you just might."
