Paws thudded against forest ground. Tall, wild and untamed grass being squashed under nimble, large, quick sets of paws. A dark brown, almost black, furred wolf with hazel golden eyes ran with long fur pressed against Its body. Ears pressed back, mouth open and tail loose. Running alongside the larger wolf, was a smaller one with raven black fur with tips of silver here and there throughout Its pelt. Its brown, hazel eyes were locked In front of them. Leaping over a fallen log In their path, the larger wolf slowed to a stop In front of a small river. The smaller wolf skidded to a halt before shaking out Its pelt. The two took a short break to catch their breath and get some water. The forest's peaceful, quiet noise was broken as a sharp yet low howl split through the air coming from the direction the two wolves came from. The brown wolf rose Its muzzle, followed by the small black wolf and replied with their own howls. Turning towards the direction they came, both wolves broke out Into a run. Heading back the way they came.

Upon reaching the tree line, both wolves walked behind a large tree where two sets of folded clothes lay hidden under roots. Bones cracked, fur shifted and retracted, limbs rearranging themselves to fit a human's appearance. The brown wolf shifted to that of a human male reaching five feet eleven Inches. Dark brown styled hair, a goatee and hazel golden eyes. The smaller black wolf had shifted to that of a human male around five feet nine Inches with curly black hair and dark brown eyes with hints of hazel. The taller male got dressed, a laugh escaping when the shorter one Indicated for him to turn around so he could get dressed. But he obeyed, out of respect.

"Come on Banner, we've all seen you naked." Snickered the hazel eyed male. "Not something to be proud of, Tony.." Grumbled the other and dressed quickly. When allowed to turn around, Tony's face adorned a smirk. "Brucie, you transform from Green Bean to you after missions." He reminded, clapping his left hand onto the shorter male's shoulder. "Besides, Its nothing I haven't seen before." He whispered. Bruce's face flushed red and a low growl escaped him. "Tony!" He yelped In embarrassment. Tony broke out Into laughter, taking his hand off Bruce's shoulder and running ahead. Bruce gave chase.

Tony ran across an open area, up a hill and to a white building with a lot of glass. The building looked modern and advanced, on the side was a giant 'A' surrounded by a circle. Glass doors slid open upon Tony's arrival and the dark haired male slid Into a communal living space. A flatscreen TV mounted on a wall and couches In an almost circle shape with a table In between. Chairs and bookshelves around as well. Tony squeaked In surprise when Bruce jumped on his back, sending both males tumbling to the floor below. Tony, however, would never admit aloud such a noise had escaped him. Tony wriggled about, rolling over so he had Bruce pinned with his back. Bruce let out a quiet, playful growl and pulled Tony's hair. Tony let a gasp out, giving Bruce the advantage to roll both back over and sat on Tony's back, keeping him down. "Big bad Beta, huh?" Bruce teased. A growl rumbled within Tony's throat, but It wasn't threatening at all.

A throat being cleared made both look upwards. There, a buff, tanned male with golden blond hair styled to the side stood with his arms crossed. He wore a blue t-shirt and dark jeans. Sky blue eyes staring the two down. Bruce smiled sheepishly, averting his gaze from the taller male's. The blond rose an eyebrow at the twos position. Bruce stood up and jumped off of Tony. "Sorry, Alpha." He whispered, eyes still averted. Tony chuckled, pushing himself to stand. "Well would you look at that, Mr Alpha decides to show!" He grinned. The blond shook his head, a small smile twitching at his lips. "Stark, do I want to know what you two were doing?" He teased. Tony smirked, looking to a now shy Bruce. "Playing around." He answered.

"We all know what that leads to!" Yelled a voice from above, preferably, the vent system. "Your damn right, Barton! And get out of my vents!" Yelled Tony, looking up. The male above laughed. "Make me! And get a room, Tony, Bruce!" The voice started going further down the room. "I do have a room." Tony called. "Then use It for once!" "Now where's the fun In that?" Tony winked at Bruce, before turning back to the blond.

The blond looked amused, yet Irritated at the same time. "So why'd you call us from our run, Cap?" Tony hummed In question, shifting his weight to his left foot. "Alert from our allies tells us that a couple rogues or loners have been spotted around Manhattan and Queens." Reported the blond male. Bruce tilted his head. "As long as they don't try and ambush us and or attack Innocents, we have no reason to really worry, Steve." He said calmly. Steve sighed, nodding. "I just wanted you guys to keep an open eye. I'll Inform the rest." He turned to leave. "The last thing we need are more Incidents." He muttered to himself before leaving the room, most likely to go Inform the rest of the pack.

Tony turned to Bruce, grabbed the brunet's arm and dragged him off down a hall. "Time to do SCIENCE!" He cheered excitedly. Bruce laughed at Tony's enthusiasm. "And keep It quiet this time!" Barton called from above them. "No promises, Clint!" Bruce giggled, being pulled Into a lab by Tony. Glass doors sliding shut behind them.
