[gamma_rage]

Hello, Mun. I realize you never expected to have me in your head, and I'm not sure why you invited me. The . . . other guy . . . isn't exactly the most welcome of house guests.

Nor am I sure what you're going to do with me. I hope we can work something out. I'd like to meet others of the Avengers, if they're around.

If you'll excuse me, I think one of my experiments needs attending to . . .

Comments

I apologize immediately :x

[ontime]

[A huff from 'the other guy.']

Still weird to look at you.

No apologies needed!

[gamma_rage]

Imagine how I feel.

['Weird' doesn't even begin to cover it. He's spent a good portion of his life trying to suppress this guy, and now here he is in his face.]

[ontime]

Don't really want to.

[Weird's good enough for him. Annoying works too. Bruce is the more curious one here considering he's the one who actually cares about the 'multiple worlds, multiple us' thing.]

[gamma_rage]

No, you never did, did you?

[Banner firmly squashes the rage that wants to crop up at this reminder. Being the Hulk is seductive, freeing, a relief in the simplicity of combat and letting out all the bottled frustration. But this isn't the time. One of them has to remain able to do the long-term thinking.]

[savedmyhome]

You are...

[...being stared at. With something that closely resembles awe.]

By the home— [Crusader cuts himself off, gives a respectful nod instead. Nearly a bow, really.]

I mean... it is an honor to meet you, sir.

[gamma_rage]

Oh?

[Just give him a moment to manage the surprise.]

Well, that's . . . nice. Thank you. Do I know you?

[savedmyhome]

[A shake of the head.]

No. My... people know of you. As both a man of science and a great warrior.

[And the greatest threat Earth has to offer. Really, the Skrull couldn't have invaded if the Earthers hadn't neutralized their own best weapon first.

On the other hand, Z'reg Crusader? Is pretty much just fanboying.]

[takingouttrash]

And this is where I will say up front that I won't apologize for interrupting your and Mr. Stark's concentration on whatever you are working on for things like food and other necessary distractions.

[gamma_rage]

Please don't. Apologize, that is. I'm not quite sure how Stark does it, but food on a regular basis does help.

Oh. Ah, no coffee, if you don't mind? I know Stark drinks gallons of the stuff, but I prefer tea.

[This. Is awkward. He's trying to be polite, but the fact is that nobody wants an over-caffienated Hulk rampaging around.]

[takingouttrash]

So noted. I will alert Jarvis as well. *yes, she can see that.*

I suppose that was more along the lines of warning, rather than apology.

[pheromones]

What kind of experiments?

[gamma_rage]

[It isn't every day that beautiful women come up to him and ask about science experiments.]

I'm working on a portable, tunable energy tracking device. The search for the Tesseract gave me the idea - if we can trace gamma radiation, then why not other elecromagnetic frequencies?

[He tries adjusting one of the parameters, and winces at the way the waveform on the screen shudders and breaks apart. He resets it quickly.]

Still having a little trouble with background interference . . .

[pheromones]

( frankly science kind of turns gaila on. but then so does economics. and fist fights. )

Hmm, not really my field. I've never seen this kind of equipment before though! ( very sleek, sexier than the stuff she gets to use in the training labs, which is all kinds of fascinating to her because it seems like, as far as her timeline goes, he's striving for some pretty outdated breakthroughs. ) Did you design this?

[hotrodred]

Ooh, expeeriments. Need a lab partner?

[Omfg halp, he is stuck in his mun's head with Cap, who is an experiment but knows nothing of the doing science part.]

[gamma_rage]

Sure. After all, it's your lab. You're welcome any time.

[He understands all about being stuck in the mun's head. The only other humans in here are a musician and a computer programmer.]

/sneaks tags from woooork >>

[hotrodred]

Great. Because nothing says male bonding like playing with dangerous chemicals or-- what are you doing, exactly?

[gotoagent]

You seem to be a very welcomed guest in several of these writers minds, Dr. Banner.

[gamma_rage]

Yeah. I'm . . . still not used to that. Used to be that even if I was welcome, the Other Guy wouldn't be.

Ah. Enough about me. How have you been, Agent Coulson?

[gotoagent]

Alive. That's enjoyable. My mun informs me that you sucker punched Thor and then threw around his brother like a rag doll?

This is all your fault, THE CRYSTAL.

[worstdjever]

Hello, Mr. Banner. It is a pleasure to see you again. Do you require any assistance?

I take full and gleeful responsibility, O Queen of Typos

[gamma_rage]

Ah, hello, Echo. I haven't seen you around in a while. How do you like your new face?

[He's smiling as he says it. He likes the snarky AI, and the fact that she trolls Tony is, in his opinion, more than enough reason to like her. Not that he'll tell Stark that - he likes the man, but sometimes a more vindictive part of Bruce needs to see him be taken down a peg or two.]

At least we are getting a semi-friendly Echo out of it.

[worstdjever]

I apologize for my absence - Mr. Stark has been inundating my command queue with numerous tasks as of late.

[The AI pauses to process his question and cycle through its answer options. It - she - has no true opinion on what it looks like. However, a base understanding of the concept of human emotion is written into its programming, allowing it to select the answer that it calculates will please the user the most.]

It is very satisfactory. You have my gratitude, Mr. Banner.

[ihazanest]

Of course we're around, Doc. Just some of us are better at going unnoticed than others.

Hell, took mine, what? A day and a half to even notice I was here.

[gamma_rage]

Well, you, ah, can be very quiet when you want to be.

Mine noticed me when I 'Hulked out' in her head.

[ihazanest]

That's one way to get yourself ... selves? Noticed.

And I'd be a pretty piss-poor assassin if I couldn't be quiet.
