Bruce had been up most of the night with his latest research paper when Tony waltzed in and planted a cup of coffee on his desk. Bruce reached for the cup, closed his hand around the warm mug absently and pulled it towards him with a murmur of thanks. Eagerly, Tony took a few steps back, eyes bright.

"Anthony Edward Stark!" Yelled a voice from down the hall, then a set of running footsteps disturbed the peace. Tony cursed the friendship between Pepper and Jane. Did she really have to tell the perky little scientist his full name? He hated being called Anthony.

"Don't you dare!" Snapped Jane, appearing in the doorway with her five-foot frame bristling with wrath. A surprised Dr Bruce Banner, untouched coffee mug in hand, suddenly got it when he looked down into the drink. Somehow he doubted it was regular coffee in the cup. "Tony!" He growled, while Jane put her hands on her hips, indignant on behalf of her college - and perhaps because she was growing fond of the helicarrier and didn't want to see the Other Guy rip it apart again. Seeing his plan had been foiled when Bruce thrust the mug back into his hands, Tony muttered and advanced. Jane just smirked and took off, done with saving Bruce and the carrier, with a frustrated Tony chasing after her. How could anybody that little run so fast?

"Jane Foster! Don't think you can hide behind your Thunder God forever!"
