Tony, Bruce and JARVIS, and the difference between people, weapons and slaves.

A tiny prompt ficlet. Tony cannot, for the life of him, make a decent piece of toast. Bruce ... finds this far more amusing than he should

... Tony tells Bruce about Afghanistan.

Bruce is, at heart, a scientist, even when it comes to people. And Tony, Tony is at heart an engineer. Even when it comes to people. Stand-alone.

"Look I know this is like, prize-winning science fair shit, and I'm sure you're in fucking freak heaven or whatever, but I need you to focus on me for like, two seconds, and reach into the hole in my chest, and fix what's broken." And holy shit is that a metaphor. That is one goddamned beautiful metaphor.

Bruce kept a little tally, in his head, of people he thought should meet the Hulk. Those who had made Tony afraid were numbered among them. No archive warnings, but heed tags, yes?

The first time Bruce hulks out in the lab, it isn't Tony's fault, but fucked if he's going to let that stop him.
