    Summary

    Tony knew that he used to make weapons for the U.S Army. Tony knew that Bruce spent a number of years being actively hunted down by the U.S Army. The implications weren't exactly lost on him, but he tried his best to ignore them-- at least, until he couldn't.

    Summary

    Hide and Seek. Bruce's mother teaches him how to play. Bruce teaches himself how to get better in order to survive.
    ---
    For the first few rounds it really is just a game. Bruce hides behind the couch and Mama makes a big show of looking under cushions and behind the curtains before she turns, slowly, and heads straight towards him. Before she gets the chance to peer over the back of the couch Bruce jumps out from his hiding place and tackles her legs. In response, Mama scoops him up into her arms and together they spin once, twice, three times, giggling all the way.
    Their moment of blissful play is interrupted by the sound of keys rattling in the front door of the house.
    “Remember the rules. And this time don’t come out until I tell you to. Can you remember that, Bruce?”

    Summary

    This house is cold, in every possible way - cold people and cold memories, held within drafty halls and unforgiving stone floors.

    Elsa realizes now that last night, for the first time in as long as she can remember, someone inside this house had looked at her with warmth.

    (or, Elsa doesn't quite expect herself to invite Jack and Ted to Bloodstone Manor the night after they'd all nearly died. She doesn't expect to fall for Jack, either, but Elsa has learned that her life never seems to go according to plan, and maybe that's okay).
