No, he was from before that, too, [he feels compelled to clarify, though it's off track from what he really wants to discuss.] We actually... didn't know each other at first. [There's a visible and audible grimace as Bruce admits that, what in hindsight had been embarrassingly sitcom of them, to interact without knowing each other's identity. It was the sort of thing that could only happen here, and it'd ended predictably badly, with the eventual discovery of who that was happening only later.

It's on the tip of his tongue to say It isn't a personal problem? but he decides that's probably too pointed, not the tone he wants to set. He just folds his arms and leans back and watches him sidelong, giving him space.]

No. I haven't met any. [From the way he says it, it's clear he doesn't think that's a hardship.] But I've had a lot of people recognize me. Apparently I'm on a lot of other worlds, and I'm... [He corrects himself,] Not me is popular. I'm not as much.

[Not that Bruce wants to be popular. He doesn't. But the Hulk overtaking him in terms of being recognizable leaves a sour taste in his mouth.]
