I managed to get my little booklet going, and I'm still adding to it. I was adding more to the demichroma section, since it's not talked about as much. [Chroma being the obvious product for much of their behavior and also why they've been kidnapped here in the first place, but there are other ways to make 'money' so to speak. Plus he's interested in cracking open the demichroma and seeing what's inside on a molecular level too. Whatever will potentially give him an angle on this, he wants.
Bruce knows the second he says it out loud that Tony's going to need an answer. And that he wants to give that answer even if it is painful for everyone. He spoke to Steve about it when he took over the gym, but there's no end to the grief and fear that hounds him now. It's Tony. There was a time he would tell him anything, do anything for him, and that hasn't really changed. He just swallows through the immediate strain in his throat, clearing it.]
Tony. [Bruce shakes his head and puts his hand on top of Tony's on his shoulder.] Maybe you ... this might have gotten fuzzy with your other memories. I didn't tell you, but Nat and I were really obvious at the meeting. [He had his reasons not to admit how deliriously happy he was, being with the woman he loved. Like the fact Tony couldn't be with his.] We're together. But the thing is ....
[It's hard to say. It's hard to think and feel, but somehow saying it is more difficult than he expected. He moves away from Tony to shakily take a seat. He has to just spit it out, it's the only way.] We needed all the stones to bring everyone back in the future, and it worked, but Nat had to trade her life for one of them. [The words tumble out as quickly as possible, like he can't wait to get rid of them.] She's gone. [His voice breaks and he looks down at the floor.] This is it for her.
