“I do have some good memories,” Tony says, though good memories aren’t usually the interesting ones. He suspects that Bruce is good with ignoring the bad. His own childhood probably doesn’t have any good memories at all, not until he escaped from his father at least.

Tony’s a little surprised that Bruce mentioned Robert though. They share a name. They share blood. They share the same eyes and the same smile. They share the same brilliance. But that’s it.

Tony hates the guy that gave Bruce his anger issues, and it flames up so suddenly he almost forgets himself. He takes the drink Bruce refused in its place and shakes his head.

“I got into MIT early. Probably could have started at twelve. But I guess you should be out of your preteens to go to college. I made DUM-E. Dad almost smiled when I brought home the plaque for Christmas that year. Maybe. Hard to tell. He was drunk and mad about not finding Cap.”
