Away at War/Battle MemeWe all know war can be a hard time for everyone but those left behind? It can be torture. Hoping you get a letter or a call, staying glued to the television and cringing at those news stories. Guess what happens to you now? Your loved one has gone off to fight a war (battle, fight, in that ilk of things) and some time has ( Read more... )

Careful of his wounds and everything stuck in him to keep him alive, Darcy moves forward and hugs him gently before pulling away.
"I'll make sure Pepper doesn't work herself into an early grave and that the others just...just take care of Tony."

Tony. That's right. There's something important, about Tony, besides the car. "Recipe book's on top of my microwave." He closed his eyes and sighed. It was a bit before he spoke again.

"Bruce needs a copy of the macaroni." He opened his eyes again long enough to summon a smile for her. "You need a drink."

His breathing was shallowing out as they closed again.

"I'll take care of myself later, I just-right now it's all about you. I can worry about everything else later."

"'S okay, just want to sleep. Should get drunk, kid, make me proud." He wanted to look at her again, but it was too much effort. Everything was too much effort. Time to throw in the towel.

"I'll do my best big guy."
She couldn't say goodbye, even if every syllable she spoke was screaming the words.
So, with one last squeeze of his hands she gathers every bit of strength and joy she can muster and smiles at him.
She's not leaving him, not yet and even if she wants to not watch him part of her doesn't want him to be alone when he goes in the room so she looks back at Thor and Steve, pacing around outside while she hears Tony yelling at nurses.

Bruce had always been...tense. Wound tightly. Some combination of chaos and perfect control, never trusting himself. He had always relaxed around Darcy. He drank with Darcy, he enjoyed her company, he tried not to worry because Darcy herself so rarely seemed worried -- but now, coming home from there, he can't. He hasn't. Not for over a month. He jumps at little noises, jerks away from touch, seems so prone to lash out and almost strike -

But he doesn't. He reigns it in and walls himself off and forgets that he gave Darcy the codes to his labs, so she could always pop in when she wanted to get lunch.

Darcy had never been one to let things go, and when it concerned people she cared for she was even more ruthless. She’d given Bruce his space and now she was ready to pull him back out of his shell, no matter how hazardous to her health the idea may be.
Punching in the code to his lab and juggling her tray of ice tea and sandwiches she marches in a places the ‘olive branch’ in front of him.

He jumped as the door opened, and stayed painfully tense as the tray was set down. He glanced up at Darcy, still avoiding eye contact, and seemed at a loss for what to say.

He finally ground out a strained, curt "Thanks."

"Oh for gods sake Bruce. Look at me you giant fucking chia pet." Placing her hands on her hips she stares down at him, tired of tiptoeing around and pretending his avoidance didn't hurt every time he vacated the room, or pushed her away.

He looked up at her, startled. "I - what?" He laughed nervously. God, he didn't know why he'd come back, other than it had seemed so safe

"Stop pussyfooting around and tell me what the sweet merciful tuna is wrong already. Because I am tired of you pretending I don't exist. I am not about to bite your head off or go sell you out to the powers that be alright? I am your friend and if you keep avoiding me I will give you such a bad arm burn that the big guy will feel it."

He frowned and didn't respond for a moment. He knew, on some level, that he was being unfair to those around him. His friends. They didn't understand why he was so...

"I need time." He said, unsteadily. "I just. I need the quiet."

"You've had your quiet time Bruce. Now it's time to stop folding in on yourself, we can't go backwards. Tony was finally getting you to pull out of your shell!"

"Maybe I need my 'shell', Darcy."

He regretted it immediately - he hadn't meant to snap at her. He was so tired, and tense, and frightened without even knowing why, but he hadn't meant to snap at her.

"There is nothing wrong with having walls up, but when they take you away from everybody and put you in this funk from hell there is a problem. You don't need a shell, you need your friends."
