Bruce was generally a beleaguered sort of guy, especially when he had to keep explaining to Tony that he wasn't that sort of doctor, but the man had helped him keep his identity under wraps and the story of the Hulk from spreading much outside of Harlem. He had even given him funding to check out other stories and potential incidents of people who might have gained abilities outside the norm from various reasons.

There was one potentially interesting kid in Brooklyn who might have changed from being bitten by a spider, and references to an abnormally large dog in the area, but that was it. Still, he did as he was told and came along.

When Bucky got off the phone, he had to explain to Steve what was happening, and he really hoped his friend wouldn't make a big deal of it.

"So, uh, my friend and a doctor are coming over tomorrow. Don't freak out, but it's Tony Stark."
