[ 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.

[ 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 )}

[hulk]

[ He's aware! Means you were not there for the fun Loki-brand group aggro-therapy since you were getting the one-on-one brain-mush treatment, oops. ]

Yeah, I mean. This is not a group that-- [ shaking his head tbh ] Whoever put together this roster's, just.

[arches]

Nick knew what he was doing.

Nick always knows what he's doing.

[hulk]

Sure he does. Down to when he's using cosmic cubes to go and start a stockpile of WMDs, right.

[arches]

I didn't say he always did the right thing, or the smartest thing.

But he always knows what he's getting into.

Some of us don't have the luxury of running away from our problems. Or the world's.

[hulk]

Yeah, that's. He's perfectly aware he's sitting on an alien-inspired arsenal and just... Doesn't tell anybody.

[ ...Ow, Clint. ] Y- Luxury. Right.

[arches]

Spies are kind of screwed up that way, Banner. Didn't anyone tell you?

_{( KANYESHRUG )} I prefer facing things head on.

[hulk]

Found that out quickly enough.

[ You're a dick. ] Yeah, well. Sometimes circumstances don't allow for it.

[arches]

Obviously not that quick.

_{( pretty much, yeah. )} So damn the circumstances.

[hulk]

Never had occasion to know any before now.

That easy, huh? Wow. If I'd only known. [ So. Deadpan. ]
