So what are we not questioning?

[Rex, so nosy.]

[Hulk's eyes widen as he hears that familiar voice and he immediately turns with a wide grin.]

Kid!

[Hope you're ready, because one monster sized Hulk-hug, coming up!]

[Rex isn't entirely prepared for the incoming Hulk hug and he ends up taking it with a bit of a grunt. Good thing he's built fairly tough? There's no attempt to wriggle out of the embrace, though. Nope. He's glad to see his friend and he appreciates the gesture of affection, as evident by the grin on his face.]

Hey, big guy! Hi to you, too!

[The hug is slightly tighter than one Hulk might use on a regular squishy human but far from crushing strength. Hulk releases Rex after a moment and sets the EVO back on his feet before affectionately ruffling his hair (and goggles) with a wide green hand.]

Heheh, you're a sight fer sore eyes. Didn't know if you'd still be hangin' around here.

[Rex ducks his head a little under that huge hand, waiting until Hulk's done before reaching up to set his goggles straight again.]

I'm still the favorite, no surprise, so it's not like my mun's going to let go of me anytime soon. She's still got me in one game and lets me out here once in a while.

[His expression softens somewhat.]

Good to know you're still around too, Big Green. Gotta admit I've missed seeing you here.

[Hulk smiles down at Rex, fighting down the urge to muss up his hair again.]

Good to hear.

[His smile dims.]

To be honest, not sure if I was ever gonna make it back. Glad I did though, 'specially if you're not goin' anywhere.

[Hearing that, his smile flattens into more of a frown.]

I...did kinda wonder at one point if I was ever gonna see you again. I've gotten kinda used to people coming and going all the time. It happens. Just...you know. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

And if your mun keeps you around for a while longer and wants to do stuff with you, you know I'm game for that. Even if it's not something fun. I mean, hey, misery loves company, am I right?

[Small smirk.]

[~~Hulk's desire to adopt you grows ever stronger.~~ Hulk puts a gentle hand on Rex's shoulder.]

Wouldn'ta left on purpose. Mun almost disappeared, couldn't do anything about it.

But I'm back now. Hopefully I'll be able to stick around this time.

[Hulk's grin grows mischievous and he gives Rex a friendly jostle. ~~Don't fall.~~]

Besides, had to come back t'make sure you were stayin' outta trouble.

Yeah, I would've figured that would be the case if you had gone away and stayed away. Things happen sometimes.

[Something both he and his mun understand, really.]

[Whoop, that friendly jostle does take the kid off balance a little. He manages to keep from falling over, though, his smirk quickly becoming something of a ~~GUILTY~~ sheepish smile as he looks up at Hulk.]

Trouble? C'mon, dude. Why would you even think that? Does this look like the face of someone who been up to anything?

[SO MUCH HONESTY IN THAT SMILE. And would these innocent brown eyes lie to you?]

[And this is Hulk's look of total acceptance and belief of your claims. Really.]

Mmhmm.

[Note to self: Do not ever let Rick and Rex meet DO NOT EVER]

Yeah, that face doesn't really instill confidence.

Just so you know.

Hulk. Amigo. Your lack of faith in me hurts. Really gets me right here -- [Cue dramatic gesture of one hand over his heart.] -- where it counts.

[And then he shrugs.]

But seriously, even if I did get into any trouble...if...you know I could deal with it.

[It's not like he's ever DIED or anything. ~~Multiple times.~~]

[Hulk crosses his arms and rolls his eyes at Rex's display, bemused.]

Yeah yeah, you're pretty tough.

For a squirt, that is.

[~~And if Hulk knew that, Rex would never be able to escape is overprotective mother-henning.~~]

And pretty responsible. [These days, anyway.] Got to lead a team into battle, recently.

[Clearly very proud of that fact.]

Whiiiich I guess you could say was me getting into trouble, but it was trouble started by someone else and we [more or less] put a stop to it. So totally not the same thing as what you meant before.

[Right? Right. Totally.]

Heh...

While I would appreciate NO hugs from you-- I am too, deathly curious: what are we not questioning, and why are we not questioning it...?

[Hulk blinks down at the new person curiously.]

Not really in the habit of huggin' strangers, so you're safe.

[Hulk huffs and scrubs a hand over his face in exasperation at the question.]

Not questioning anything. That happens to me. Ever.

No chance tryin' t'make sense of it.

~~I was a planet a couple weeks ago.~~

Edited 2014-11-08 00:15 (UTC)

Oh-- oh yes? I mean, how bad can-- can it really be, anyway? I mean, some logic has to govern the world... No matter what world it may be, and what brand of logic rules it, well-- order is everything! [Maybe to you, under normal circumstances, Tommy, but really: you're talking to a giant, hulking green-- erm-- HULK-- and he was apparently a planet two weeks prior to this...] Oh.... I see...

:: Oh yes, Tommy sees, alright; and he has a great deal of sympathy for this giant green beast of burden; as such, he lays a comforting(?) hand on the giant's arm. :: I am sorry to hear that...

[Hulk gives the bespectacled man a once over while he's talking. The man reeks of academia, and kind of reminds Hulk of himself in a past life.]

Used to think so too. Now I'm not so sure. After fighting shape-shifting aliens and meeting talking planets and another alien who can actually do the impossible, well. Beginning to change my outlook.

[...Okay, the touching was weird. Hulk gets that it's meant sympathetically but... who the heck is this guy?]

Uhh, thanks. Er, have we met...?

[Hulk can't think of any reason why this person he doesn't know would be comfortable enough to touch a (reportedly) 9-ft tall green rage monster.]

In-indeed, I suppose that would alter your-- your viewpoint, somewhat... Talking planets did you say? As in, sentient earths-- or Mars, or-or Plutos even!-- with vocal chords...?

:: Tommy blinks-- quite a bit at that, behind his glasses, almost looking like a bloody great owl, and then of course, comes the Question that he answers readily enough, completely unaware that he's in any danger ::

No I don't believe we have, at that... I mean, I think I would have remembered meeting a nine-foot-tall and-- erm -- green man, after all! Wouldn't you-- I mean, if you were not a bloody great nine-foot-tall green man yourself...?

[Oh don't mind the touching, Hulky; i mean, srsly, this man embodies the very idea of Christian Charity as seen in BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL! xD and besides which, he has never in his life cracked open a comic book so... yeah, he has no idea that you're rumoured to be a RAGE MONSTER!]

Oh-- :: And of course, it takes Tommy a good, long moment to recognise the Hulk's discomfort with his hand on his arm-- and an even longer moment to realise that it is his hand that is making him so awkward! :: Sorry, sir...

Yep. Talking planet. Named Ego. Don't ask me how the sound waves travel through the vacuum of space.

[Hulk pinches his brow with the hand attached to the arm that's not being "comforted". This guy seems alright, but Hulk gets a little edgy around new people. He didn't yank his arm away though, so there's that. ~~Also now thank you I will have musical tunes stuck in my head for the rest of the night.~~]

'salright. Name's Hulk. Please... don't call me "sir".

[It's really weird. Hulk isn't used to being treated like a person by people who seemed... normal.]

In-indeed? I'm afeared that I am a mathematician, not an astrophysicist, so... unfortunately, I don't know, either...

:: And: more owlish blinking at the tall green man, at the suggestion of just what to call him. ::

Um... Alright, then! Interesting name, that: just Hulk, then...? :: And Tommy, because it's only polite, puts out his hand again, this time turned up, as if to receive Hulk's in a handshake. :: My name's Tommy. It's-- erm-- a pleasure to meet you...

[Ahahaha! xD just doing my part to spread the.....JOY of Bat Boy, particularly among the players of HULK, who really ought to sympathise with Bat Boy! <3 so glad you like it enough to let it in as an earworm! ;D]

[Yep, Hulk called it. Total nerd.]

Yep. Just Hulk.

[Hulk looks warily between Tommy's hand and his face before gingerly enveloping the mathematicians hand in his own, shaking it once before releasing. He grunts in response, nodding. It's never a bad time when Hulk gets to interact with someone who doesn't run away screaming.]

Same here.

:: Indeed, Hulky... It really IS a pleasure to meet an-- apparent alien, who is gentle enough with Tommy's hand even though he looks as if he could crush the mathematician's hand in two fingers! ::

In-indeed... So. What brings you here, anyway, Hulk? I mean, from being a planet and talking to another one... This place must seem extremely-- erm-- boring, is it not...?

[Hulk scoffs.]

Huh, at this point anything approaching boring is a welcome break.

Just want to get back home, clear my name, and get everything back to normal. As normal as it gets for me anyway.

:: "Clear my name"? Well, that doesn't sound ominous at all! ::

In-indeed? :: Dammit, why can't he get rid of this bloody stammer!? :: I mean-- clear your name? What have you to clear it of, precisely...?

[A huff.]

Destroying my hometown.

[Hulk leans towards him, brandishing his pointer finger in an accusatory fashion.]

Which I DIDN'T do!

[Just in case you might have gotten the wrong idea. A beat. He hesitantly pulls back a little.]

Well, not really. Didn't mean to. I was set up!

[His fingers twitch with suppressed rage. He's still sort of salty about the whole thing.]

:: Alright, Tommy was not scared before, but he definitely IS now, with the giant green man looming over him menacingly. ::

In-indeed? I do think-- well, I have yet to hear of any hometowns completely destroyed. So... You must have not done too much damage, am I right...? :: and he chuckles nervously. :: Hon-honestly, though, who or what could have "set you up" to-- to destroy an entire town?

[Hulk withdraws, internally berating himself for his outburst. He's supposed to be trying to convince people he's NOT a monster, not frightening civilians. Hulk carefully lowers his tone.]

Guy named "The Leader". Hunh. Made a bunch of villains attack us, the problem was Leader created a device so that only me and my team could see 'em. Everyone else thought we had just gone on a rampage, destroying the town, when we were really fighting bad guys. Now we're fugitives.

[Hulk sighs.]

We caught the Leader and now we just gotta bring him back with us t'prove our innocence. If anyone'll even listen.

:: Okay, yes, Tommy thinks that gentle giant approach is MUCH better, really, and he relaxes a little ::

In-indeed...? :: And yet he still cannot seem to get rid of the damn stammer! :: Well-- well, I wish you all the best luck with that! :: Here, Hulk, have a tentative smile from Tommy-boy here ::

Hulk! Yo my man. What're we not questioning?

[Cho no, wrong Hulk...]

[Hulk blinks rapidly down at the newcomer.]

Uh...

I know you, kid?

Yeeeeeees? Y'know, Amadeus Cho, your best friend? One-time number one fan? No? Huh. Okay, lemme guess-- Time travel? Alternate reality? What's the last thing you remember? I'll line up our continuity.

[he's doing that talking-too-fast thing that he do]
