You might be onto something with the tesseract and the arc reactor being related somehow. Dear ol' Dad didn't come up with the arc reactor until after he'd found the tesseract, so it'd be difficult to not see a potential connection between the two. The tesseract is pure, clean energy, so is the arc reactor, and if Zola managed to harness its energy, I don't doubt that Dad would have managed.

It'd explain Loki's performance issues up top. Why nothing happened - I don't believe for a minute it was just because he was touching metal and not flesh. There's something more to it.

I need to pull all the files I can find on it. The tesseract and the arc reactor. There's probably something they're not giving me, but that can be bypassed easily enough. Phase 2 was building weapons powered by it, after all, and they went to extreme lengths to keep that hidden, even from me. Who knows what else they're hiding?

Anyway - I'm rubbing off on you. About time.

Exactly. It wasn't just that it was weapons. The government's already tried to coax me back into the weapons industry multiple times - now that they had this, what was stopping them?

I already almost died from palladium poisoning, I wouldn't be surprised if this was killing me too. You want to do the testing?

[otherguy]

Probably they thought you'd see through what they're doing-- which you did-- and hold out on them anyway, or try to sabotage the work they'd already done.

Palladium? How the hell did you get palladium in your system? And yeah, it's probably best if I do. Anyone else might miss trace levels.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

True. I probably would have just used the time to study the tesseract. I should contact Selvig - he'll know more.

It was the old core for my arc reactor. Before I created a new element. I haven't decided on a name for it yet. Starkanium might be a little self serving. But it's this new core that has me thinking about the tesseract. And why Loki couldn't mess with my head. Sounds good. We should do it over shawarma.

[otherguy]

Sure, between a physicist, a geneticist, and an engineer we ought to be able to figure something out. How an unknown energy source can translate from it's origin point to our environment, be replicated and used to open a wormhole, make weapons, or generate clean sustainable power, and the possible implications of radiation, tissue damage, and mind control. Sounds fun.

[ If he looks impressed, that's because he is. ]

I agree, Starkanium's a little on the nose. Depending on it's electron configuration and atomic weight, there're always numerical names like ununennium or unbinilium. But, something tells me that's not your style.

Shawarma again? ...How do you feel about Indian food?

[fbitchesgtmoney]

While I know you're being sarcastic here, Dr.Banner, I'm going to have to agree because it actually does sound fun. A better party than the one we had in the streets of New York.

(peacock mode: activate!)

But the problem is that those aren't very memorable. And are distinctly lacking the touch of, you know: me.

(eyebrow raise) Indian's good. And we'll have another party, because what is a party without indian food and some gamma testing?

[otherguy]

If you call that a party, remind me to never show up for your birthday.

Fine then, throw out some ideas that have a "touch of you."

And hopefully fewer explosions and a lot less property damage.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

But it's my birthday. You wouldn't do that to me.

I have a list somewhere in my lab from when I first created it, but then I got distracted. I'll have to find it again.


You know, I'm having my doubts about keeping you here. You break a bit of New York every time you're here. Maybe we should go to Malibu.

[otherguy]

I might. I'm not the most reliable guy.

I'm pretty sure only a fraction of the damage was from me- from him. And Loki started it.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

I thought we were going to be bros, Bruce. Science Bros.

Always blame the other guy. (shit eating grin rn) We're in it together.

[otherguy]

We can be ..."bros." Just letting you know I don't have the best track record.

[ A nasty squint in return. ]

If we're "in it together," does that mean me here in the lab? Or the other guy, with all the fighting and smashing.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

(omg he has a bro :')) Neither do I.

(just growing wider)

All of us. The three of us. The dream team. (Pause. And then it's srs game face on) He's you, you know. And you're him. Two sides of the same coin. All that. I've said this before.

[otherguy]

[ Pretty sure Bruce has no idea what a "bro" is. Sure, he understands the implied meaning of fraternity , but cultural references tend to be lost on a guy who spends his life running from pretty much everything. ]

He's not. You've said it before, but I'm sorry, it's not like that. He's in me, I'm in him. We're together, but we're not one.
