Nope.

Don't care. Get lost.

You left me hanging again and I'm done. No more of this game with you where you say you're going to bring me somewhere or do something with me and then I end up playing cards in your headspace with those other people.

So just move along. I've got to tune up my gear.

Wait, what's that you've got? Holy Hulks it's an actual app!?

Maybe I got the wrong idea about you after all, Mun! Which place is it for? The one with the alternate version of Mom and Dad? C'mon, you can tell me!

[sohawkward]

So, what, you're supposed to be my half-brother or something?

[strongest_archer]

Yeah, looks like I am, squirt. What's your name?

[sohawkward]

"Squirt"? How old do you think I am?

And it's Hawkeye.

[strongest_archer]

I don't know. Fifteen, sixteen maybe?

That's a codename. What does Dad call you?

[sohawkward]

... Okay, lucky guess. That's still not "squirt" material.

And Dad is dead, so what does it matter? [After a moment, though.] Francis.

[strongest_archer]

You're squirt because you're so short, not young. [He's just huge due to being half Hulk.]

Wait, back up! Dad's dead?!

[sohawkward]

Yeah, killed by Ultron when I was still just a kid. That probably doesn't mean much to you though. [He shrugs.]

So, who're you supposed to be? Hulkeye? [He's not even getting into how weird that is.]

[strongest_archer]

Ultron...[He scowls. CJ takes a moment for a few deep breaths and to count to ten. He doesn't want to lose his temper but the idea of his father being dead, even in an alternate universe, hits hard.]

Codename's Mustang but my name is CJ.

[sohawkward]

Yeah, he and all the other Avengers 'cept Stark. [He goes quiet for a moment. Even though Ultron was taken care of, it still stings.]

Mustang? What's that supposed to mean?

[strongest_archer]

The hell...[Nope, he doesn't like his half brother's universe at all.]

It's like the car. [Or the horse but he's not bringing that up.]

[sohawkward]

Why would you name yourself after a car? [He doesn't... really know about horses or anything like that. He's spent his entire life in hiding in a city run by Ultron.]

Does- Is Dad still alive where you're from?

[strongest_archer]

Because the car is cool and it's about raw power and wildness, man.

[He takes a breath, mood getting more serious.] He is.

[sohawkward]

I guess that works, since you're all... Hulky and stuff.

[Francis isn't as sheltered and oblivious as the others.] But?

[theotherspeedy]

Woah, I can only imagine what the pull on your bowstring is.

[strongest_archer]

Half Hulky technically. Mom's She-Hulk.

[He sighs.] But I'm sort of not there any more. My friends and I did something a little crazy and ended up in another universe fighting Sentinels.

[strongest_archer]

[He grins, taking his bow off the quiver and holding it out.]

Care to find out for yourself?

!!!

[umeme]

Perhaps this will inspire mine.

!!!!!!!

[strongest_archer]

Kendall! Maybe it will.

[sohawkward]

She-... Hulk? [He didn't know there was more than one, and he's just kind of assuming she's just... a girl version of Bruce. Dad was braver and crazier than he thought.] What happened to Mockingbird?

HEY THERE

[umeme]

Hello, CJ. I didn't think I'd see...any of you here.

There do seem to be a lot of our parents, though. Even if they're - not, exactly.

[strongest_archer]

Yeah. Like the Hulk but a woman and not as angry-smashy rage monstery. She died.

Hi!

[strongest_archer]

Yeah, we're not all that popular around here.

[He nods.] I found two that were pretty close to my parents. Been seeing a lot of really strange young versions of Dad though.

[sohawkward]

Oh... [He's silent for about a moment, before he just shrugs.] Not like I knew her anyway.

[strongest_archer]

Dad always said great things about her.

[sohawkward]

Yeah, I've heard all the stories... She's my mom, if that wasn't obvious.
