The recovery had been long. Luckily, the suit saved his life. It was a series of broken bones, some internal bleeding, stitches - what anyone would expect from a run-in with the Hulk. Apparently he was out for a day or two. When he came to, he'd asked for Bruce. Bruce was nowhere to be found.

Tony didn't believe that.

He put up with the pedantic nurses and the doctors and Pepper complaining. He even maintained, publicly, that the Hulk was not a menace. The moment he was fine enough, he'd badgered everyone at SHIELD to tell him where Bruce was. At some point, they decided they were better off telling him.

Tony Stark touched down in Laos on one sunny afternoon, arm in a sling and face still bruised. It wouldn't be hard to pick out Bruce. Hopefully.

Bruce knew his way around the little town, was starting to learn its usual rhythms and sounds of everyday life. He knew that certain things just weren't common - things like aircraft touching down. He wrapped his fingers tighter around the strap of his medical kit. He knew it would only be a matter of time before they found him, of course. They'd made know secret of the fact that they always knew where he was.

He kept walking toward the clinic, weaving through the crowded streets and sticking out like a sore thumb. It was only a matter of time before someone came to collect him, one way or another.

He saw the mop of hair and followed, walking casually in the same direction. Some people stopped and stared, those who have read papers and knew who Iron Man was. But for the most part he just walked by and didn't care.

He wove and dodged, never losing sight of Bruce until the man ducked inside a building. Well. Building. He stopped outside and peered at the door.

"Bruce."

Bruce froze. He'd expected someone, of course - but Natasha, Clint, maybe even Fury or Steve. Someone to tell him he still owed them, or to tell him that he was too dangerous. He hadn't expected Tony. He'd expected Tony to never want to speak to him again -- but no, of course not. Tony was an idiot. A trusting idiot.

"Tony."
