Tony held out his hand for the other man, ankle deep and sinking in the soft sand as the waves rolled back. "And now you are. Just to your ankles, c'mon," he said as if he was coddling a dog. "We'll just go for a walk." It was probably the best sort of date Bruce might hope for, secluded, no one with cameras in their cellphones posting pictures to instagram and tumblr the moment they step outside. No one watching them. And it would be tough to get time to themselves as Extremis worked through Alessa, made her stronger, made her harder to control herself.

Caring for a child wasn't easy but a super powered, genetically enhanced child was going to be over the top.

Tony was only offering him a little respite before they fell into the sheets, now clean, ready to pass out.

He was right about the water being warm. The sand itself was still warm and despite the darkness, the water was crystal clear. So long as they avoided shells, there would be no need to worry about Hulked up sea life.
