This post is addressed to those of you who were within the other world with me.

[And it's later than he wanted it to be, but the death had taken its' toll on him, and besides, there had been a great deal to consider. A very real, very loud part of him had wanted not to have to do this. To forget it all, to put the last six years of hell utterly behind him. However, he feels responsible;]

I've been here a few months, but I see now that I've been complacent. When I arrived, like the rest of you I found that my powers were gone. For me, that was a relief.

I don't remember hurting any of you down there, but my memories during a transformation aren't always the clearest. If any of you recall the green... thing, or were harmed by it in any way, please let me know. I'd like to make reparations in any way I can.

To the rest of you, whatever keeps the transformations from occurring is working again now that I'm... I suppose you could say up on the surface, or returned to this specific dimensional point. But since it's clear I can't rely on that to be true all the time, I think I have a duty to warn you. In the right conditions I'm a bomb waiting to go off, and in the event that something like this happens again, I'm probably going to be getting as far away from the you all as possible. Please don't come near me if you see me, and please don't try to stop me.

I'm sorry.

I do not know, friend Banner. I do not like a distance - it is harder to pass a man your cup.

Thor, I punched you through a train station wall. And a helicarrier wall.

[subecho]

...I have reason to believe the walls accept your apology.

[ffuckoff]

...Were you the one with the really tight pants?

[zen_en_vert]

Maybe? That's not really the first characteristic that usually leaps to mind.

[ffuckoff]

Well, I dunno, is the whole screaming, clash-of-the-titans setup really okay discussion for polite company?

[becauseichooseto]

Is there a specific trigger... for your transformation?

[zen_en_vert]

Anger. Possibly it's the adrenaline and elevated heart rate in combination, but mostly just anger.

[becauseichooseto]

Does that mean it doesn't happen when you're afraid?

So the place really did fall to shit while I was on vacation.

[Details, Bruce. He needs them.]

And what has your therapist said about that unhealthy "bomb" talk?

[Video]

[zen_en_vert]

Don't give me that. You're a scientist, you know the difference between accurate and unhealthy.

[Video]

[modernmarvel]

I do, actually.

[He's still not going to admit you're right.]

So if you can't keep your better half from showing up here, what do you plan on doing now?

[Video]

[tonsofpun]

Wait, that was you?

You seem way more like the whole... mild-mannered scientist guy. Go figure.

[Video]

[zen_en_vert]

Two sides of the same coin, I suppose.

[tonsofpun]

So you're like... a werewolf, but you're an angry green giant?

[Six looks tired, but he's concerned for Bruce's sake. And he'll keep it private... it's not that he minds people knowing he's the one who killed Bruce, but he doesn't exactly want the whole city to know, and that might come up in this conversation.]

The only time I encountered you, you looked human enough. Perhaps a little green about the gills...

[He hesitates before adding, quietly,] Are you quite alright?

I am having what could be termed 'one of those days.'

I owe you a cup of tea, though-

[comeonthensexy]

I don't think I know about that one.

[ Now he's curious. ]

[zen_en_vert]

That one what? That giant?

[voice]

[unnaturallygreen]

So that's why.

[A breath.] Thank you, though. For keeping those natives off my back, even for a while.

If I may ask, what happened to you?

[voice]

[zen_en_vert]

I was exposed to a burst of radiation in a lab setting. It had unpredictable results.

[larps]

Whoa. I guess it isn't easy being green after all.

[Tony gives him a lot of practice. Still, he has to count back from ten at that one.]

No. No, it isn't.

private, video.

[redhourglass]

Doctor..

[ she seems .. concerned. not that she would admit it but.. they were team mates now, right? fury had placed her with him, with all of the avengers, and made him her assignment to bring to SHIELD. didn't she have to take some amount of responsibility for this - would he still be here if he'd remained a doctor in india, just helping people?

jokes don't cover it, but she has to try and say something. ]

You really think your little analogy about a bomb could keep me away? I don't give up that easily.

[ a bit quieter: ]

I'm sorry.

Re: private, video.

[zen_en_vert]

Bruce. Please, just Bruce, we know each other well enough.

[Is the easiest thing in this for him to deal with.]
