AVENGERS ASSEMBLE...AND MAKEOUT
Okay, so. With all the excitement that's been building over the last week or so, there seems to be an unreasonable amount of negativity coming along with it. And that just won't do! So here's what I propose:

It's exactly 8.58 when Bruce steps off the elevator that brought him to the 'nutter sphere' as the guard downstairs had called it. He'd thought a lot about Tony's offer after the battle (or the destruction of quite a bit of Manhattan but at least not Harlem, again) and after two weeks of weighing pro's and con's - well, why not? Give it a try, Banner, and stop fretting, he reminds himself.
When he gets away from the totally non-descript hallway, he smiles. The labs are magnificent. What looks like grad students (same haunted look and caffeine-trembling hands as everywhere) are scuttling around or trying hard not to fall asleep in front of a monitor, while on the left side half a dozen other scientists are having breakfast, laughing, reading a book, or discussing some Nature article in an office (the journal is being waved around wildly). The door is open and Bruce decides to stop there first, say hello, and see if anyone freaks out so much he'll just quit before ever starting.
He's as nervous as the day before his first big presentation and right then he wishes he didn't try, so desperately, to be brave. Maybe it really would be better if he stayed away a bit longer, he - the woman standing in front of the coffee machine (which is definitely Tony-made from the chrome and design and number of coffee pot stations) turns around, spots him, and the next second she whirls over, plants a kiss on him and takes a picture of his dumbfounded face and her grinning one.
"Got you!", she crows, "one step closer to completion!". She fist bumps the air and runs off to the left side of the room. One of the other scientists takes a look at him and grins. "Don't mind Darcy, she's like...well, you get used to her, over time. Also, she brings cake, so nobody minds too much?" They're all laughing, and Darcy stalks back, raises an eyebrow at them, then turns to him and smiles. "Funny Marc, really funny. I'm the chocolate queen, so they're genetically predisposed to like me. What do you think of the picture? I'm also not sorry, by the way, you totally looked like you needed a hug." She holds up the print out - it looks ridiculous. "I'm making a wall with a picture of me and every newbie on their first day, it's awesome!! Want to see me and Thor? His face is hilarious, man" and she walks over to the wall and pins their photograph alongside fifty others. The others are laughing again. "Anyway, I'm Darcy". She holds out her hand and smiles at him encouragingly.
"Bruce", he says, still reeling. "Bruce Banner." She looks at him sceptically, head cocked to the side, and, for a moment, he is afraid. Then her face lights up: "You're the one with the gamma radiation! Awesome, guys, we got a real celebrity, Pepper must be kicking Tony's ass again. Come here, sit down, Masha brought bagels and stuff." And they all look at him expectantly, and presumably-Masha gets out another plate and bagel.
He relaxes. Tony was right. It is candy land.
