Tony's panic attacks

Hulk meets Spike

the meeting Bruce had been so hesitant about was happening today. Tony had built a safety suit for Spike and now, Hulk was going to get to meet him. it'd taken nearly six months for Tony to convince Bruce, Hulk wouldn't hurt him and now he was ready.

"if it turns ugly, don't let him hurt Spike okay?" Bruce said.

"he won't Bruce. he's protected me and Spike. he's never gonna hurt him. it's gonna be alright." Tony said. Bruce nodded and stepped back. letting Hulk have control, but Tony kept Spike in the safety suit anyway. Hulk looked around. "hi buddy." Tony said. Hulk looked over at him. "I know you've seen him before, but it's time to meet Spike. I know you felt Bruce's anxiety about you meeting him, but I know you won't hurt him." Tony said, holding Spike out to Hulk. Hulk looked down.

"little squishy!" Hulk grinned, putting his hand out. Tony sat Spike in his hand gently. Hulk lifted him up to his face, grabbing Tony with his other hand and putting him on his shoulder.

"thats Spike. I know you can say Spike." Tony said.

"Spike." Hulk muttered. he shook his head. "like squishy better." Hulk replied.

"well you can call him squishy, but his name is Spike." Tony chuckled. he looked up when someone tapped on the door to the Hulk room. "you hold him I'll be right back okay?" Tony ask. Hulk nodded as Spike sat himself up in Hulks hand. Tony slid off Hulks shoulder and into his lap, then got up and walked over to the door. "hey Agent whats up?" Tony ask. Phil rolled his eye's at him.

"there's a meeting today at noon, Fury wants everyone there." Phil said.

"too bad, I'm introducing the big guy to Jr today, we're making a day out of it." Tony said.

"Fury wants all the Avengers there." Phil said. Tony huffed.

"fine. I guess." Tony muttered.

"what Agent man want?" Hulk ask. Phil waived at him as Hulk walked over.

"I'm here to tell Tony there's a meeting everyone has to attend." Phil said.

"even squishy?" Hulk ask.

"squishy?" Phil ask.

"Spike." Tony explained to Phil. he turned to Hulk. "well you see, Bruce and I have to go, so Spike has to go with us so we know he's safe." Tony replied. Hulk nodded and held Spike in his hand.

"Hulk like squishy." Hulk said, poking Spike in the stomach. Spike burst into giggles, hugging Hulks finger with his little arms.

"careful big guy, he's teething, he'll chew on your hand. he doesn't understand though, so don't be upset with him." Tony said.

"Hulk know, Banner told Hulk." Hulk replied.

"I can't believe how good he is with Spike." Phil chuckled.

"I can't believe people still think he's a bad guy." Tony replied. Phil nodded, yelping when Hulk grabbed him. "easy Hulk, he's not used to that like I am." Tony said. Hulk paused..

"oh. Hulk sorry." Hulk said, putting Phil back down carefully. Phil was shocked a moment.

"uh, no it's okay. you just startled me. I'm fine." Phil assured him. Hulk nodded slightly.

"Hulk!" Tony cried, catching Spike when he fell. he held Spike close.

"where squishy go?" Hulk ask confused. Tony clenched his eye's shut holding Spike as tightly as he could, with the safety suit on.

"he crawls Hulk. you have to be careful and keep an eye on him. he could've gotten hurt." Tony said. Hulks shoulders drooped.

"Hulk sorry. not want to hurt Spike." Hulk said, scooping Tony up.
