Re: Upon receipt, an immediate comm to Bruce B.
Tony. [Very sure of himself] No one is going to power you off. That isn't going to happen. [Over his dead body god dammit]
I'll tell you anything you want to know. Hank is an Avenger. Or he was where I come from. Where he comes from he's between Avenger gigs. He, like most brilliant people, is not well. And he wears it right on his sleeve while the rest of us try and remain under cover. I wear mine in the form of Hulk and Hank lashes out. He's basically a cybernetics God among men, he started out as a biochemist who was researching subatomic particles. He discovered a specific particle that he can use to manipulate the size of things including himself. He had an accident at one point that induced a mental health nightmare and he lost it. He was never quite the same. He'd leave and come back, he was volatile and wonderful at any given moment. He was kicked out of the Avengers after a troubling incident, there were a few more incidents he came back, he left, he came back...He stuck it out longer than I lasted. At one point he was even in charge. But this Hank, he's not better yet. I think I was able to talk him down, but I don't know how permanent that is. I like to think I talked some sense to him, but he is in deep. Obviously. I didn't know how deep until I got there. I thought he was just out to torture Steve but when he started handing over your tech, and what he'd been building and talking about what Loki had asked of him...I'm worried. For all of us.
