DING DING ROUND TWO aka That Trailer

[likea_nerve]

You know, you still have four months of waiting to go. And I'd rather you not go into cardiac arrest because you worried about me non-stop for that long. You may be the first human to ever do so, but I'm confident in your ability to worry yourself to death at this point.

Also, you know I'll be fine. [ Being the relative word it is. ] You know he won't - "kill me off". And whatever the other guy and I are going through, it will pass. I've survived worse. [ That's kind of the damn problem, Bruce. ]

It's...nice? That you pulled me out here again, I suppose. [ He has no idea how to feel about everyone suddenly worrying about him on here, again, so he'll let that go uncommented on. ]

There are worse things than being killed off. [May doesn't do comforting.] But you can handle whatever's coming. And I'm looking forward to cleaning up, when it's over.

[Literally cleaning up. Mop and bucket stuff. SHIELD's ragtag leftover family wearing gloves, picking through rubble.]

[likea_nerve]

I know there are. [ Boy is that an understatement. ] But you've got to stay positive and all that. [ It's the little things. Like not getting shot at today. ]

Ah. Sorry. [ He doesn't know who you are, so he's assuming you're one of the poor city workers who have to clear the debris that the other guy leaves behind. ] I would volunteer my services, but being a target of the U.S. government makes that a bit difficult. [ Also, the other guy is better as the smashing than the cleaning-up portion of the battle. ]

The next four months are gonna fly.

[Clearing debris is no less a part of her job than if she were a city worker. She's built stronger than Natasha (debatable, whether she's actually stronger) for whatever that says. She's wearing civilian clothes; doesn't begrudge assumptions.]

Don't be. [Sorry, that is.] If you really like the idea, you could help when the government's not looking. They don't have eyes everywhere. Not anymore.

[There is, after all, a huge vacancy in their intelligence network.]

[krasivyy]

The first human to do that? That's doubtful, Banner.

[ was that kind? An admission? Good luck trying to crack that one. ]

[likea_nerve]

[ He's a scientist, not a psychologist, Natasha. He thought he made that clear enough with Tony. ]

Either way, it's not a theory I'd like to test.

My mun squeals every time she sees something related to your movie. It's a little unnerving, to be honest. Sounds like yours does something similar.

[Snort of derision.]

Banner's soft.

[Really, should he be baiting the guy who's the same as the one in his head? Hulk doesn't usually think things through. Not his style.]
