so i heard there was a bandwagon

[hulk]

Okay, so. It certainly wasn't as bad as it could have been. Which is a good thing - obviously. I know you were thinking of several theories as to how things go and this was... A lot less painful all around. ...Though. Apologies to both Thor and Agent Romanoff for the... Yeah. That wasn't. [ coughing because awkward to backhand various teammates o o p s ]

And. Maybe a canon update through that wouldn't. It wouldn't be so bad, at least. I mean, it makes sense. Minus the whole monkey angle they had going on because. I'd prefer not to with that, if at all possible.

...Though I am curious about what was happening in Calcutta. I mean - I'm a doctor, yes, but not that kind of doctor. Ask me to sequence a genome, sure, write up a paper on behavior of electrons as they relate to quark fields, I'm your guy, but. Need anything more intensive than a band-aid and. [ shrug ]

'And' nothing, Banner. You'd manage. Like always.

[Faintly exasperated speedster is faint and exasperated.]

[hulk]

I'd manage, yeah, it's not like I need that much to keep myself going, but. Other people getting sick, seriously ill, that's. Then you need someone knowing more than just basic first aid.

[ he missed that faint exasperation quite a bit pietro negl ]

[checkthetapes]

Are you missing, perhaps, the part where you're a genius? That's what learning is for, you misbegotten little gnome.

[the insult, at least, is almost fond.]

Or have you forgotten how? One does wonder.

man i cannot for the life of me find icons of her and bruce as bruce together.

[widowing]

All things considered, things could have ended much worse than they did.

[ this is her way of saying 'no apology necessary'. ]

maybe eventually tumblr will norton it up some sigh.

[hulk]

Yes, but that doesn't mean that things couldn't have. I mean. You must have. [ bruce doesn't know the meaning of those words there is always an apology necessary ] Ribs break easily enough, that's all.

/pets fingers crossed!

[widowing]

[ her voice is firm, leaving no room for any more argument. ]

I know how things could have ended up going. They didn't. Don't dwell on it.

[takingouttrash]

You were there and they were short-staffed? Unless it involved radiation.

[hulk]

I don't know, it seemed a private house. Or as private as houses there get. [ shrugs again ] There's also the question of why I'd wear a suit in a situation like that, but. My writer's the kind with a, uh. Anal-retentive attention to detail. ...Which I mean in the best way possible, of course.

[gammas]

Um?

[ COUSIN WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ]

[hulk]

Oh! Um. Well, apparently the new movie with me in it wasn't as terrible as my writer thought it could be. The main problem was that I wasn't really myself in that, er. I guess the word is "recast" and so my face ended up getting. Swapped out for another one. And mine - my writer, anyway - is very fond of my current face for. Whatever reason.

So her expectations because of that were kind of skewed, but they were subverted by the reality. ...In a good way.

[gammas]

Ooh, I know what you're talking about! Sounds like my 80s stuff, honestly. Looking at you, Byrne.

Anyways, I like your face.

[ferric]

What, you can't take a philanthropic bone when it's given to you?

[hulk]

I can, I just. I would prefer it to make sense. That's all I'm saying. Never mind the last time I tried to be all philanthropic with my work... Well. That's how everything with my, uh, condition ended up starting.

[ferric]

[ To Tony's credit, the clap on Bruce's shoulder isn't... half... as terrible as it could be. C'mon, Mopey Mcmoperson, chin up. Can't have the shotgun-riding bff being all sad post-Funrarri. ]

And look how great that turned out for, [ carefully avoiding any semblence of the word 'you', ] Manhattan. New York. Except for the general Harlem area— Let's stick with Manhattan.

/this is the most tentative tag ever

[itknewme]

[RE: The whole Doctor In Calcutta thing...]

Well I guess we can't expect the writers to get it right all of the time, but it's good that things were better than you both expected.

/embraces ittttt

[hulk]

Yeah, there were a few things that they could have. I mean, I certainly wouldn't have gone ahead with the Gamma Pulse Project if. [ some small pain here ] I mean, if either of us knew what...

[ but shaking his head because it's past and. not much to be done about it now ]

But things could have definitely been worse. She was actually considering a whole thing were I was the one possessed by Loki instead, with him in charge of... I mean, thankfully not-- Not that what happened to Agent Barton was better, but. Still.

[duplicities]

You don't need to apologize.

[hulk]

...Well, I think I do. [ :cccc ]

[fbitchesgtmoney]

(HEY SCIENCE BFF HOW ARE YOU? Are you going to come to my place for a play date in my room lab? We can have pizza and all the juice boxes we want, I promise)

I liked you.

[anticking]

You acted as you must.

[hulk]

...Yeah, it was mostly necessary, what with, uh. You going after everything. [ a w k w a r d ]

[trickstering]

Perhaps the lack of detail is meant to provide a certain correct sort of mystery - the sort leaves audiences interested just enough to care but not too much to complain.

[hulk]

Possibly. I don't know, mine usually is up on those kinds of details more so than others. She was even noticing the gender ratio among the helicarrier agents and their uniforms, so. I guess it's a kind of anal-retentive, but in a good way.

/scoots in late due to stupid work schedule

[itsokay]

Maybe you were just there and tried to help out. You trying to help people isn't that much of a stretch.

/open arms forever

[hulk]

I suppose. Maybe. [ aksdfjalskfd everybody needs to stop thinking he's like capable and all this he's going to get the vapors ] Usually my help is limited to my particular field, but. Yeah.

...Hi.
