Bruce Banner | Avengers [Movieverse]

[swallowsit]

Ah.. so you're sure you want to do this? I may have a pretty good lid on the other guy, but as you can see I sometimes-- /taps his glasses against his fingers, short laugh/ -- have problems when it comes to extreme outside stressors.

But Tony seems alright. He's going to keep trying to press my buttons, I know, but it'll be a good test for me. See how good I really am at keeping him at bay, and at the same time I'll get access to all his nifty toys. Pretty big leap from the Kolkata slums. Probably harder to tinker with clean energy technology and work on my gamma radiation studies, too.

What the hell. What's the worst that could happen?

[emergent]

Would you rather the answer by order of likelihood or shall I just reel it off in alphabetical order, sir?_

[swallowsit]

Ah, Jarivs. Yeah, it's really nice the way you just... hear everything, all the time.

Just try to make sure Tony doesn't poke me anymore.

[emergent]

I am sorry to admit to it, but I don't think my wishes have any correlation to what Mr Stark does._

[swallowsit]

/a small laugh/ No, that sounds about right.

[avenging_archer]

You really sure you wanna phrase it like that, big guy? [One of Clint's brows crept upwards in an ironic arch.] Because it's been my experience but asking the universe at large 'What's the worst that can happen' is kinda like asking the big guy upstairs to kick you in the balls repeatedly.

[swallowsit]

I don't know, I think I'd be kind of impressed if the big guy upstairs managed to make my life more terrifying than our adventure in space horrors. I might even start to believe in him.

[avenging_archer]

Call me superstitious but that seems to be inviting trouble in. [Having spent a fair amount of his childhood with the highly superstitious circus folks, Hawkeye tried to avoid outright challenging the universe at large to take a dump on your head.]

[nerdylilspidey]

If there are any toys you're looking to get a hold of, Stark's are definitely the best.

[swallowsit]

Yeah, I've heard. Something about ten floors of R&D, candy-land, all of that. He's actually not so bad when he's not poking you with sharp objects.

[nerdylilspidey]

I'd completely love to be invited to have access to ten floors of R&D Candyland whether there was poking or not, not gonna lie.

[usedtoberussian]

Are you sure you're going to be comfortable with Stark? We have plenty of labs here that are minus an overeager boy looking to test your limits.

[swallowsit]

I don't think anyone's ever comfortable with Tony, but he can test all he likes. After flying space monsters I don't think there's a lot he can do to break my cool.

[usedtoberussian]

It's your call, Doctor.

If you change your mind, we'll know how to reach you.

[oneohseventh]

From what I hear Stark lives in a tower with his name plastered at the top. Sounds like an open invitation for enemies don't you think?

[swallowsit]

Ha ha, well danger and me seem to go together where I end up. Might as well be somewhere with automated weapons and top grade security.

[oneohseventh]

Y'know, that dossier of yours never said anything about a sense of humor. You don't seem half as bad as it made you out to be.

[hillside]

There is a lot worse that could happen, Doctor Banner, but it's better for everyone if you don't think about it.

[swallowsit]

/small laugh/ Wow. You people are just... terrifying, aren't you?

[hillside]

It's why we get paid the big tax dollars. [See that? That was a joke. Mostly.]

[incant]

[There is so much meta here that the muse does not know about, but oh the bad things that could happen...]

The world is full of terrors, Doctor, and I think it's for the best that you've decided to put your own terrors to good use.

[swallowsit]

Dark too. Terrors and dark. Or dark and full of terrors. Read it in a book once.

Sorry, uh, do I know you, or...?

[incant]

[She laughs at that, because it does ring a bell.] I think I must have read that book.

[But she hasn't introduced herself, no, so she holds out her hand to shake.]

I'm sorry, I thought you were kept informed. I'm Wanda, my brother and I will be joining your team.

[arcreacted]

Just alright? Not sure if I should be offended or not.

[swallowsit]

You should hear what everyone else says about you. We're practically best friends in comparison.

[arcreacted]

Eyes and ears everywhere, buddy. You think I don't know? [ ah. wait. he points his finger up in the air as if he's suddenly struck with an amazing thought. ] Better yet, do I care?

[ but then there's a smile as he eyes bruce for a second ] Well, if we're best friends, I hope this doesn't mean you expect me to have sleepovers and braid your hair.
