"Not like we could break it if we tried." Bruce walks over and carefully picks up the surprisingly light shield off the wall to bring it down. It makes a slight vibrating sound as the end bumps the wall.
Bruce hadn't actually held the thing himself, though he's told the Hulk has on occasion. "Sure a lot lighter than I thought," he comments, sitting down so Phil could hold it too.
"Pretty cool, huh? I was told it's made from vibrainium, which is almost impossible to find. It absorbs the impact of nearly anything thrown at it..." Bruce goes into science mode, turning it on its side and flicking a finger against the metal to let it ring slightly.
"That's pretty resourceful." Not like he should think anything otherwise from Coulson. "So...you remember Cap and your dad...and how old you are. Anything else?"
"My mom and my sisters and my brother. And I'm in second grade and my teacher's name is Miss Tuttle. And I have a dog named Alfie and one of his ears sticks up funny and when I grow up, I want to be a hero."
"I know, it's ok. You're not in trouble." Bruce reassures him. "We think something happened to you to make you...younger." It's probably classified but really, Coulson has a higher level than he does. Not like he doesn't deserve to know, even when he's seven. "That's why your clothes are so big."
Bruce has the hardest time keeping a straight face. "It's not that bad. Really. Just wait till you see Fury. Believe me, that is not bald." He's probably going to pay for that later if anyone happens to be listening in.
"Come on, this way," Bruce reaches for his hand to try and lead him out of the Cap cave.
Bruce finally runs into someone else, another agent, and lets them know he found Phil. They escort the two of them towards the main room where Fury is waiting. "He seems alright...y'know other than being....he's alright." Bruce stumbles over his explanation.

He picks up the shield, putting it back on the wall. "We should probably get back to the base. Fury's probably beside himself..."

He wrinkles his nose. "Is that a picture of me?"

He obediently takes Bruce's hand to head out, but he looks back over his shoulder the entire time.
