A Tony-less Lunch

[Bruce comes to the table with his lunch and sits beside Steve. Everyone is there except Tony]

Steve: (Smiling) Hey, Banner!

Thor: Hello, Bruce!

(Clint and Natasha wave at him)

Bruce: (Frowning) Hi. (Pulls out sandwich from his lunchbox)

Natasha: Bruce, you aren't angry...are you?

Bruce: (Fake smiles) Oh, no, no, no. Not at all. Why would I be?

Steve: Where's Stark? He's usually here by now.

Thor: (Mischievously smiles) Outstanding question, Captain.

Bruce: Don't act like you don't know, Odinson!

Thor: What?

Bruce: I SAID, don't act like you don't know.

Thor: What are you speaking about?

Bruce: Okay! That's it! (Puts down sandwich and looks at Thor) What did you do to Stark!?

(They all widen their eyes and look around nervously)

Bruce: Thor!?

Thor: I did nothing!

(Bruce folds his arms and raises his eyebrows)

Thor: I did not do anything!

Bruce: (Squints and looks at the rest of them) Okay then. What did you three do?

Clint: (Nervously) What are you talking about?

Natasha: (Shrugs) Nothing.

Steve: (Nervously) We didn't do a thing!

Bruce: (Blankly stares at them) Then why is he crying in the bathroom?

Steve: (Shocked) He is!?

Natasha: (Raises eyebrows) What?

Clint: (Nervously bites his fingernails) Really?

Thor: (Looks down) Why would he do such a thing?

Bruce: (Still staring) You all need to spill.

Steve: But we didn't d-

Bruce: Want me to turn into the other guy?

(Steve sighs)

Bruce: Steve, I know something's up. Thor told Tony not to cry this morning and now he's crying. Tony never cries.

Clint: (Scoffs) THOR!

Thor: My apologies, Agent Barton.

Clint: Yeah, "My apologies, Agent Barton" my butt.

Thor: (Confused) I don't understand.

Clint: (Rolls eyes) Of course you don't.

Bruce: So, what's up with Tony. Now I know everyone's hiding something.

Steve: Okay, okay, we may have played a little joke on him.

Bruce: Did it deal with Pepper and Harley?

Thor: Possibly...

Natasha: We sort of told Harley to pretend to remember Tony, and we got a girl that looks like Pepper to pretend to know him also...

Clint: It was wrong. I know. But it was Steve's idea. (Points to Steve)

Bruce: (Folds arms) You know what you guys are right now?

(They shrug)

Steve: What?

Bruce: A bunch of Loki's.
