Bruce blinked a little. "a collar? like BDSM? i didn't realize he was the submissive..." he admitted, looking honestly surprised before smirking. "that's perfect Tony." he agreed. "it's a memory he'll appreciate, from something that means a hell of a lot to you. before you ask no, i don't think it's too soon." he admitted. "now, what kind of design where you thinking of for the Collar? i don't think making it completely metal will work, it would chafe wouldn't it?" Bruce asked, frowning a little as he considered how to make the perfect gift for Steve. he'd do anything to make Tony happy after all.
he blinked a little and then nodded, that made sense. sort of. Clint had a hell of a time with the legal stuff, Phil had usually done all of that. "that's true, we'll keep working on it with him." he agreed. "everyone should be able to enjoy a good book." he admitted with a smile, reading aloud for her and mentally making a promise to read the both of them Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. he had a feeling the story would interest Grant, anything that could make that man feel a bit better was cause for celebration. he woke with a start to Bruce coming in, in the morning to check on Grant. Steve was reading a book in the corner, he had fallen asleep reading to Kate and she seamed to have fallen asleep to the story. Grant on the other hand was awake and was simply watching Kate sleep as if enthralled. "how are you feeling?" Bruce asked Grant, who had very heavy bruising under both eyes only half hidden by the brace. "i feel okay, still stings a bit but i don't think i need the painkillers today." "alright, but if you start feeling too poorly i need you to tell me." Bruce warned, Grant nodding. used to that order. enemies always went for the face, he'd had his nose broken so many times it was a wonder it still looked like a nose.
