boy was hot tho

Can you please stop sighing and fantasizing about that guy you saw dressed up like Banner?

It's... really creepy.

~~Because it's kind of me. Sort of. And it's making me uncomfortable. It's not like I can leave your brain.~~

Maybe you shouldn't do these "convention" things anymore.

~~Makes you crazier than usual.~~

[It's comforting to have someone talk to him that way...because even though he's doing a decent job of keeping a lid on it for the moment, the little guy is terrified. The longer he's aware of how much he doesn't know or remember, the more there is to be afraid of.]

[He watches Hulk through large brown eyes, taking in everything he's being told. Before Hulk has even finished speaking, the kid is moving a little closer. While he still doesn't know what this guy's deal is or where he came from, he seems safe. And really, who is their right mind is going to mess with anyone that big?]

[Though that in mind, there is one thing the kid doesn't quite get...]

So you're a superhero. Like in comic books. I thought superheroes weren't supposed to be afraid of anything, though. What made you scared?

[As the boy steps closer the nagging at the back of Hulk's brain becomes more insistent. I know you. I know those eyes. Who are you? Hulk pushes it to the side though, because this kid obviously didn't recognize him. Hulk tips his head down a little as the boy approaches, being very careful not to spook him accidentally.]

Well, I may not be a hero, but I always do try to do the right thing.

I do know some heroes though, and do you wanna know a secret? Heroes get scared just like everybody else. What matters is that they do what they gotta do even though they're scared. Lot of times people may not act like they're scared, but that's normal. The important part is that they don't let bein' afraid stop 'em.

[Hulk hesitates, unsure of how to approach the question. He figures being honest is the best way.]

Well...

I guess, being strong is scary, sometimes. I didn't really... ask, for it. It just happened. I didn't know how to control it.

[Explaining this in words easy for a young kid to understand was harder than Hulk thought it was going to be.]

Sometimes people are afraid of you too, when you have a lot of power, because they're afraid've what you might do with it. A lot of times when people're scared, they'll attack whatever they're scared of. I was scared, everybody else was scared, and... we hurt each other, even though we didn't mean to. But things are better now. Sometimes it just takes time to convince everybody you're there to do good.

[Hulk really hopes he didn't just wreck this kid's view of all heroes forever.]

[Some of what he's being told... It's a little hard to grasp. These are things he wouldn't have thought of on his own. Things that he's still a bit too young to get without having the issues brought up for him. After all, who wouldn't want to be the strongest guy in the world? Stopping the bad guys would be so easy, wouldn't it? But it almost sounds like having powers makes things even more difficult.]

[He's quiet a good few seconds after Hulk finishes speaking, trying to process all that. It'll probably be a little while before he truly can get it all. However, there are a couple of things he's able to take away from it immediately.]

You sound like a hero to me, 'cause helping people is what heroes are supposed to do. Like you said, you could just destroy stuff all the time, right? You could have totally been the baddest super villain ever. Like robbing banks and stuff because you're so strong, you can probably take whatever you want...but you don't.

[He smiles in an attempting to be reassuring.]

And I'm not scared of you. You're pretty big and maybe you didn't ask to be like that, but you're really nice.

[Hulk chuckles softly at this precocious little kid comforting Hulk rather than the other way around. Children were so open and understanding. This kid had a beautifully simple way of looking at good and bad. And he was smart, and not at all afraid to call Hulk out on his "not a hero" spiel and back it up with his logic. Unfortunately an ingrained belief and history of self-hate can't be child-logic-ed away so easily. But maybe Hulk can believe it, just a little bit, right now for this kid.]

Well, when you put it that way, I suppose I am a little heroic at times.

[Hulk has to fight off the urge to scoop the kid up and hold him to his chest. Instead, he offers out a hand for the kid to climb up on if he wants.]

I'm glad you're not scared. The only people I wanna scare are the bad guys.

But you wanna know somethin' else? I think you would make a good hero.

Probably more than that. I bet you have all sorts of stories about laying the smackdown on bad guys!

[And oh, hello. That's a hand being offered, there. He blinks at it, a bit unsure at first, then grins. Sure is an invitation if ever he saw one! Hope you're ready to be a big green jungle gym of sorts, Hulk, because the kid's not only going to get into your hand... He's going to go climbing right up your arm. Destination? Your shoulder.]

Yeah? Maybe after I figure out my special talent, right? But then I'd need a really great hero name! Something to match whatever cool power I have!

[A pause as he pulls himself up onto Hulk's shoulder, suddenly looking thoughtful.]

You know what, though? You never told me your name.

[Hulk holds still, bemused, as the little monkey climbs up his arm and onto his shoulder... Hulk was intending to place him there in the first place but it seems you beat him to it. Hulk cups a hand beside him just in case he falls.]

I got a few stories. Me and my team beat a living planet that was trying to eat the Earth, once. That was pretty cool.

[Hulk chuckles some more at his enthusiasm, turning his head so that he could see him out of the corner of his eye.]

I'm sure you'll have many special talents, and I think I know one of them already. And it's even more important than being strong. You just did it, too, and probably didn't even realize it.

My name's Hulk. And you?

A whole planet that was alive?

[He's immediately got about fifty questions regarding how THAT went down, though what follows does a good job of distracting him. Leaning forward a little so Hulk can see him easier, he tilts his head in question.]

Really? How's it more important than being strong? What'd I do?

[Right, and he forgot to give his name, too!]

Oh yeah, and my name's Rex.

Yup.

[Hulk grins and adjusts his hand when Rex leans forward.]

You believed me, you gave me a chance. Not many people're willing to do that. Anybody can be strong, but it takes a special kind of person to help other people feel like they can be good, too. Especially if no one ever told them that before. Lettin' other people know that they can do good when they don't believe it is just as important as doin' good yourself. The world needs those kind of people. There ain't enough of 'em. But you're special.

[Hulk jerks at the name, eyes widening in realization. It was so obvious now that he thought about it, but it's not like he was expecting to find his friend de-aged for whatever reason. His grin softens a bit and he turns his head away a little, remembering the confident young man who stood before him not to long ago. He hadn't really changed much, huh? Hulk hums, and turns his head a little to look the kid in the eye.]

You're a good kid, Rex.
