“It’s a very human thing to get a kick out of watching people kill each other.” That doesn’t make it all right but Banner looks like he’s about to have a mini melt down. And Tony can’t risk their super fun vacation being toppled over before they have any fun.

Maybe it wasn’t smart to even think that this could be fun. They’re both too broken for any sort of vacation. They’re too broken for almost everyone else in their lives. It’s a really sad thought.

What’s worse is that Tony saw what had happened here. He’d watched Bruce breakdown. And he still convinced him to come back. He never learns. Pepper was — is — completely right.

“Let’s go back home.” To that crypt of Tony’s youth that isn’t really home. Tony’s home is in the water, in ruins. He gave his address to an insane man through an actor and he broke his only happiness. “There’s a hot tub at the mansion if you wanna skinny dip there.”

His eyes say that he’s sorry. He just can’t verbally express it.
