[ Bruce drags a hand over his face before eying the feed carefully. Usually he wouldn't even touch a computer, because there's the problems with being traced and found and then there's the whole slew of problems that come out of that, but. He just got dragged out of an ocean by some entirely new and fascinating lifeforms after dying or he's just hallucinating something spectacular while the other guy goes and deals with whatever he's dealing with. He's not sure which is actually happening, but.

Either way. Can't hurt, right? ]

So... Uh. [ A deep breath as he tries to blink himself into more alertness but. There is a reason he's looking as raggedy as he does, and that was without an entre vous to turtletopia. ] L-look, I'm not trying to go and be, you know, rude or ungrateful or a-anything like that, but. This place is j- It's way, way too much for me, and. I mean, there's a swimming pool. Right in the next room over. And th- I'm not that guy.

[ He's rambling and he's tired, and. Shaking his head, he rubs at the back of his neck. ]

Anyway, er. If I could maybe downgrade, or... Point is, this is all a little more-- More than I'm used to. Thanks.

_{( clint sounds tired, when he responds, and also a little wary. he hasn't met bruce yet, after all. )}

Did they happen to fish Thor out of the ocean, with you?

[hulk]

I don't think so. Would have noticed him, he's... Well. He's big enough. [ Welp, it's okay, Clint. He's kind of only really met you for five minutes before Hulking out. But he kind of maybe gets that voice? ] Are y- You're that, uh. The guy with the bow? With Agent Romanoff.

[arches]

_{( there's no mistaking the irony as he says: )} Yeah, that's me.

It's Barton, by the way. My name.

[hulk]

That's n- It wasn't anything against you, just. Hadn't really caught your name in between... Everything.

[arches]

Uh-huh.

Honestly, I don't care. I've never met you. But I will, apparently.

[hulk]

You're fr- Like Tony. With the timing being an issue. Well then.

[ Awkwardly rubbing at the back of his neck. ]

It's a quick meeting, if that's-- I don't know.

[arches]

I'm about a year ahead of him, but yeah.

What don't you know?

[hulk]

...That's weird. He said he was a year behind m- [ He pinches the bridge of his nose. ] This headache just keeps going and getting worse.

Oh, just. Pretty much anything.

[arches]

I'm about six hours behind Natasha. It's not as weird as you might think.

...that's helpful.

[hulk]

[ He blinks, and then facepalms. Ugh. Words are hard when he's not tired. ]

R- Never mind. It's n- Just me being too tired for all of this. Sorry.

Well, you wake up on what is... Apparently a turtle and suddenly things don't feel so sure. At all.

[arches]

I hate to break it to you, doctor, but it'd be in your best interests to get it together. This may be a turtle in dreamland, but it's a turtle with an agenda.

I given we're five outta six, it might be an agenda that has something to do with us.

[hulk]

Sorry, takes me a while to bounce back from alien invasions. [ Dammit, Bruce, stop snarking. It won't help anybody. ] You-- No. ...You think?

[arches]

Yeah. I think.

That's why I said it.

[hulk]

The six of us barely got together until today though, s- Who would even?

[arches]

Hell if I know. But if one's a fluke, two's a coincidence and three is a conspiracy, I don't want to know what five is.

[hulk]

...Really bad luck?

[ Which. You know. Happens with him. ]

[arches]

If that's the case, we've all had more than our share recently.

[hulk]

Not just recently. Possible, I guess. But. I don't know.

[arches]

You say that a lot.

[hulk]

Would you prefer me to lie?

[arches]

I don't really care either way. I was just making an observation.

[hulk]

Oh. ...All right then.

[ welcome to the awk, hawk. ]

[arches]

You know, I'm not sure how sold I am on this team. _{( 8| )}

[hulk]

[ A bemused shrug because aha, you too. ] I said it was a time bomb.

[arches]

Did you? _{( he wasn't there, bro )}
