Rhodes slipped into Bruce's room while he was sitting on the floor meditating.

Bruce took one look up at him and sighed.

"Do you really have to go around looking like me? It's a security risk... and really weird," Bruce said.

"You're the perfect appearance for an FBI agent. Smart, honest, but someone with a little bit of a temper," Rhodes said with a smirk. "Hey, you want to practice?"

"No."

"Come on. If you start to turn, I'll just use magic to help you control it."

"Please stop calling it magic. It's alien science."

"Whatever. Speaking of science, 'Agent Rhodes' found an excuse to talk to Tony Stark."

Bruce looked up.

Rhodes continued, "I used magic to make Tony imagine that I thought of a scientifically brilliant idea so he wouldn't suspect a lookalike. Was actually Stark's idea, but he thinks it's yours."

"Great."

"He was so excited he kissed me," Rhodes said, watching Bruce carefully. "Jealous?"

"No. Stop 'experimenting' to get me angry."

"Surprised, at least?"

"That Tony was turned on by his own idea? No."

"Wow. You seem bitter. Jealous."

"I'm not going to 'practice' getting angry."

"Tony's a good kisser."

"...Shut the hell up."

Rhodes smirked.
