Misunderstood

Six

Sophie was working on cleaning up her lab at the tower, after the battle. She huffed out a sigh as she called out to Jarvis, a list of new equipment that would be needed.

She loved Tony like the brother she never had, nor wanted. She rolled her eyes, wanting to smack him for being such an idiot, trying to take Loki on up on the main floor yesterday.

'Dr Connors, Mr Stark and Dr Banner are in the elevator, on their way to you'... Jarvis tells her.

Sophie straightened. Banner was the other Doctor. She knew of him and his work, she was immensely impressed with his field of expertise. She was a little excited, but also nervous. She knew he had another side to him, 'Hulk', just as she had another side. Only hers wasn't down to gamma exposure.

She shook her head as she continued to clean up, while waiting on the two of them.

----------------------------------------------------------

'You're going to love it here. Whatever you need, just ask Jarvis. Or Soph, she's the head of the departments. Pain in my ass, but the best one to run the R&D'... Tony tells Bruce, as they're in the elevator, both leaning against the walls, facing each other as it heads up.

'Uh..uh wh-whos Soph?'... Bruce asks nervously. He trusted Tony in the short amount of time that they had met. Though he was relieved that Loki was gone, and the battle was over. He knew he wasn't completely free, that SHIELD would still be tracking him.

'Best friend, crazy, beautiful, deadly. Not to mention she's a genius, but don't tell her I said that. She's smug enough as it is'... Tony shakes his head. He knew she'd be pissed at him. She had only finished setting the lab up 3 days ago and now she had to do it all over again.

'Do-do you think it would be safe, for her to work with me?'... Bruce couldn't help but worry at the thought of him harming anyone innocent, even if he wasn't in control.

Tony raised an eyebrow at him and smirked... 'Trust me big guy, if I thought for a second she would be in danger with you, I wouldn't have offered for you to come here..'.. The elevator stops, and the door open out on to Sophies lab floor.

'Besides, once you meet her, you know you'd have nothing to worry about, except she might be a danger to you. Bitch got claws'... Tony sniggered as both men walked out.

Bruce spotted a woman, laying back on a lab bench, feet swinging as music played in the background. Her hair was long as it swung off the other end.

As they got closer, Bruce felt a warmth sensation in his stomach, heading lower. He hadn't fully met this woman, but hearing her voice while she sang along calmed him.

'I may be a bitch Stark, but we both know you're an asshole. If you destroy any of my labs one more time, I want a 5 million severance bonus. I'm not putting up with this shit again!'... She called out, not looking over at the two men that entered.

Sophie fell her body hum, the moment they stepped out of the elevator. She knew that the feeling wasn't down to Tony, she'd known him long enough, and she didn't feel that way about him, it was Bruce Banner.

She closed her eyes, when she heard Tonys chuckle close by. Sitting up, she swung her legs round, so she sat on the workbench, facing both men, as she opened her eyes. She glanced at Tony, but it was the man next to him, that drew the air from her lungs.

Bruce stood rooted to the spot, at the woman sat facing them. She wore denim shorts and a purple v neck t-shirt. Her feet were bare, her lush brown hair in a messy ponytail, with strands framing her bare face. She pushed her glasses up her nose as she frowned. Bruce couldn't help but stare, she was beautiful.
