"What the hell was that back there Stark? You nearly got us all killed."

"Nearly being the key word in that sentence Captain," said man pointed out as he walked over to the bar to pour himself a drink.

"What you did was reckless! What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking that we needed to stop that machine before it took out any more of down town obviously." He poured himself a glass of scotch and set the bottle down taking a sip from the glass. "You're welcome."

"Yeah well in the process of shutting the damn thing down you nearly got Clint killed. Do you even think before you act? Or do you just act first and then think."

Tony went to answer but the man just stormed out of the room. He rolled his eyes and drank some more.

"JARVIS, where's Bruce?" he asked the AI as he poured himself another glass.

"He's in the lab sir," the machine answered. "He said he did not wish to be disturbed."

"Oh..." Tony nodded. "Alright then."

He finished his glass and put it in the sink before heading to his own lab to take stock of the damage to his suit. He had some classic rock blaring in the garage as he worked singing along to the words and dancing a little. Always put him in a good mood.

"Think you could turn it down a bit!?" Bruce yelled over the loud music.

The music switched off before Tony could say anything and the two men were left in silence. Tony kept working.

"What's up doc?" he asked popping the sound of the 'c'.

"Tony. Look at me please."

Tony internally winced at the command. Now that Bruce was his alpha he was finding it hard to ignore the man's order, whether intentional or not. The shorter man was standing with his arms crossed over his chest with a neutral expression.

Well shit...Tony thought.

The two men stared at each other. Tony's hands twitched a little so he pressed them flat on the table and tried to look away. Bruce merely stared him down. He didn't need to say anything to him. All he wanted to convey was in the single look. Anger, disappointment, concern.

"I don't know what you want me to say..." Tony finally spoke. His voice come stronger than he thought it would. "I was just-"

"Doing what you thought would get the job done faster. I know," the doctor nodded his gaze softening a bit. "But you shouldn't have. You should've waited for Steve's order Tony." You should've waited for me, was the unspoken thought.

"I'm sorry..." he whispered closing his eyes. "Is..is Clint okay?"

"Clint will be fine," Bruce nodded reaching forward and running his fingers through the other man's hair.

Tony leaned into the touch relaxing a bit. "Is he mad at me?"

"Everyone's mad at you," Bruce sighed.

"Are you mad?" Tony looked up at him through his lashes.

"I'm...disappointed in you, but not mad," Bruce shook his head and pulled his hand back. "Apologize to Clint?"

"Do I have to?"

Bruce crossed his arms over his chest and nodded. "You do." He pointed to the elevator.

Tony groaned but walked over to the elevator with a pout. He so didn't want to do this but if it would make Bruce happy he would do it.

The bow man was lounging on the couch with Natasha and Steve. The three of glanced over at Tony then back at the TV clearly intent on ignoring the man.

Bruce nudged him forward and he huffed making a beeline for the fridge and grabbing a case of beer and walked over to the man who was resting his injured leg on the coffee table, dropping it gently, into his lap.

"Sorry I almost got you killed..." Tony sighed a bit and fidgeted. "I'll fix your bow and arrows for you. Upgrade them too if you want."

Clint nodded and grabbed a beer. "Thanks Stark. And I forgive you...Next time use your head before your guns."

Tony bit back a smart ass comment and nodded giving a mock salute to Steve before walking over to Bruce.

"I should get a reward for that," he crossed his arms over his chest as they walked back to the elevator.

He was pleased when Bruce rolled his eyes and gave him a quick kiss when the doors slid close.
