A clever trick, really. I have to say, though, not very well thought out. It is has been three days, at best? And already you wish you had not ostensibly killed me. All you could see was how much fun it might be to write out the ending but not only are you now stuck watching unable to do anything because you lack a proper motivation, but you did not even get to read the conversations you so wished for.

So really, I applaud the thought process that went into this action. Perhaps it will give you reason to think, next time, instead of blinding jumping into things. And now you will, what, sate yourself posting here? Surely even you must understand that will not bring you the real satisfaction that you seek.

But, fine, fine, if you wish to continue thus - here we are. Content to talk to the mutiverse 'til once again you find yourself bogged down amongst the mindless assignments and tasks that govern your day to day existence.

You play things your way, I'll do them mine. And we'll see who wins, how about that?

[trickstering]

I look forward to it.

[arches]

Because you're hanging out in the void and have nothing else to look forward to?

[trickstering]

Because I like this - is that such a difficult concept? The game of it, Barton, is what matters. The result ultimately means little.

[arches]

You don't play with people. That's not a game.

[trickstering]

You don't. I do.

[arches]

Then there's a reason you lose.

[trickstering]

That loss doesn't matter. That's what you're failing to comprehend.

[arches]

So you just screw everything up--people's lives, the whole damn world--and the outcome doesn't matter?

Forgive me if I'm not okay with that.

[trickstering]

I don't require your approval.

[arches]

What you require is the Hulk throwing you around a few more times.

[trickstering]

You think that will change anything? If you hit me enough times over the head I'll be less inclined to return to seek vengeance?

[hulk]

...I'm not one to throw out possible solutions without serious testing first. So.

[trickstering]

You would let yourself go like that? For so little?

[hulk]

Stopping you isn't a little thing. And... It's not letting myself go. That's- Don't.

[trickstering]

Tell me - do you enjoy it?

[hulk]

I. Am not. Having this conversation.

[trickstering]

Even you must not be immune to the thrill and rush of power.

[hulk]

What part of "not having this conversation" did y- Did you not get?

[arches]

The idea is that eventually it'll just stick and we'll break your head.

[trickstering]

I doubt it.

[arches]

Go ahead. There's six of us. One of you. Math's not on your side.

[trickstering]

It doesn't have to be.

[arches]

Say that again when the Hulk bashes you on the ground and your brother gets his hammer.

[trickstering]

Thor will never kill me.
