Tony is not an idiot, though he has a terrible lack of general empathy and has trouble understanding another person’s emotional context when he himself isn’t effected by something similar. He’s a selfish sort of man, but as Bruce describes his current lack of rage, and lack of ability to even feel that rage, he puts together a probable way that Kiara had been able to lock away the Hulk.

To take away a person’s ability to feel anger is not as therapeutic as it might seem. She said that Banner would be able to bring out the Hulk’s physical transformation when needed but— Uh. Isn’t the Hulk just rage incarnate? Tony isn’t sure he should be asking those questions though.

He just looks thoughtfully at Bruce for a moment before kicking piles of clothing towards the corners of the room.

“Now you’re just trying to make me jealous. My questionable bruises are more from kinetic explosions than biological ones.”
