“You need to leave.”
Tony had never really heard that tone of Bruce’s voice. He hadn’t heard the Hulk talk much but if Tony had to compare it, this would be Hulk’s authoritative voice.
“Get out,” Natasha ordered.
“You can’t command me like that agent,” Fury’s unmistakable voice cut the air.
“No but we do have a giant green rage monster who loves Tony on the verge of breaking your face,” Clint’s wit snapped back.
“Aw,” Tony rasped, “I love you too Big Guy but you should know you’ll always be second to my scotch.”
There was a hand on his chest and Tony opened his eyes to meet Steve’s eyes. “Don’t try to move your arm,” he said. Tony smirked and tried to move his arm but found it heavier than usual. “I wasn’t kidding Tony.”
“Just making sure,” he said and turn his head in Fury’s direction. “Lay it on me; tell me how I completed that downwards spiral neck twist thingy wrong so I can get back to my morphine drips.”
Fury stood composed as ever and spoke. “Your mutation should have been reported to us when you decided to join the Avenger Initiative.”
“Didn’t think about it,” Tony commented.
“But you knew your ability,” Fury countered.
“Fuck yes Fury, christ what do you want from me?”
“Why did no one know? Ms. Potts seemed clueless when we questioned her.”
Tony shifted in the bed and sighed. “No one knows, well they didn’t; now they do. No one knew because I couldn’t tell anybody. When I could my sperm donor said I couldn’t and now when I can’t it acts up.”
“You’ve done yourself a lot of damage this time Stark,” Fury said.
“No, thanks, I couldn’t feel it when I woke up, way to point that out.”
“I want a report of your ability so that I can-,” he frowns and for a moment it’s as if he’s searching for a word, “so that the Professor can help you grasp it better.”
Tony looked mortified. “I don’t want to use this, this was an accident.”
“And if you control it, it won’t be,” Fury said with no room for argument. As he left he said: “And you did the Koehler Break right.”
“Is that what that was called,” Tony murmured. No one said anything as the door shut behind Fury.
…
“Your father seems a rough issue for you my friend.”
Leave it to Thor. One track-mid on that guy, seriously.
“He and I had our differences.”
“You want to tell them to us,” Steve said, his had still draped lightly on Tony’s chest.
“Not particularly.”
“You want to snuggle,” Natasha said and Tony smiled sweetly at her.
“As long as you keep that knife away from my area’s unlike last time, I’m all for it.”
Bruce laughed, “I’m going to go get some tea.”
“Here boy,” Tony said instead, patting the other side of the large hospital bed.
“Not a dog,” Bruce said but climbed onto the bed anyway. Tony smiled blearily and held Natasha close while Bruce cuddled his other side.
“I must go retrieve another bed,” Thor called, “I too want in on these cuddles!”
Steve laughed and said, “I think there is another one across the hall.”
“Let us go get it!”
“Have fun with that guys,” Clint said as he crawled on top of Tony, his arms splayed out encompassing the other two in the bed, settling down into a sort of three way hug. He was light enough for it. Tony muttered something about his Arc Reactor but Clint was careful.
The SHIELD doctors left the group alone at Fury’s orders after that and he sent a message to Charles that if Tony didn’t care to be taught, the team-not Fury- would make sure this point was driven home.

And Thor is all smiley and okay with that... or did I miss something?
Because... if a simple neck-break could kill Loki he would be long gone, and Thor would probably kill anyone who kills his brother, so that bit got me confused as hell.
Or was the crazy lady not Loki?
I know it's not important to the plot of this story, but it still bugged me. Seemed way too unreal.
