Life Goes On And Hides Under The Couch ((Open to Avengers))

[lil_hulk]

After Christmas but before New Years, Jay and May had mutually decided to stop dating. They had drifted slightly apart. It was an amicable split and also half his choice, but Jay was still a bit sad. Though rather than brood in his room as he had done before, he went out and about all over New York City. Distractive outings. Though he made sure if he was with Stooges that the girlfriends were not along. He didn't want to dwell on being suddenly single nor did he want to feel like a fifth wheel.

Jay had gotten up late today and slogged out to the kitchen. When got back to his room, he noticed his door still open. He slapped a palm to his forehead and grunted.

"Crap. Crapcrap. Crapcrapcrap." The miniature giant space hamster, otherwise known as the pet he had that no one particularly knew about, was loose in the mansion. Jay turned on his heel and started down the hallway. He needed to find his pet before Jarvis found him and called the intergalactic exterminator.

"Boo," he whispered through clenched teeth as he stalked through the mansion. "Here, Boo. Heeeeeeeeere, Boo."

He sighs and then swirls the cup before downing the last of it.

"Identifying an active catalyst is one of the best ways to sustain a transitive change in properties.

I like who I am right now. Not this second, but you get what I mean."

"Look, Vincent. A brilliant guy once told me that life's not anywhere near as precise as science. It's messy and complicated and sometimes there are no good answers."

"Who was that?" Vincent goes about using a minor spell to fix the damage to the mug, now that his head is clearing. The concoction was absolutely foul, but seemed to work.

"Uncle Bruce," he said. "Er... Bruce Banner, I should say."

Vincent twitches slightly. "The Hulk..."

The bogeyman parents on Vincent's world told stories about to keep children in line when they pulled hair or talked back.

"I see."

He walks over to the sink and gives his face a wash, then the restored cup as well. "Thank you for your time, Bruce. I should be going to see to Audhild."

Kree coffee. Works every time.

"Sure," he said. "And any time you wanna talk..."

Re: The Kitchen

[vincent_amora]

He nods. "Sure. Sometime we can... hang out, I guess."

It's clearly not a phrase he's used to coming out of his mouth.

Not exactly one he expected to hear either. You are not a Stooge, Vincent. But you are a teammate, and Bruce feels responsible for everyone, despite some of them being a good bit older.

"Whatever you need," he said.
