Bruce Banner | 014 | Video
[ When Bruce wakes up in his room, he instantly recognizes the type -- official, un-welcoming, the opposite of homey -- and he's instantly on edge, thinking he must've had an incident and -- he hopes, God, he hopes -- SHIELD nabbed him and put him in a containment facility for a while. If it isn't SHIELD who's grabbed him, if it's Ross or some other organization out there, he's not sure what he's going to do, but punching his way out might have to be on the list.
Once he turns on the phone left for him, though, he realizes. Dear God.
How could have forgotten this place? It's coming back to him now; he's only been at home a few days, New York is still repairing itself from the Chitauri attack, but Bruce had almost spent three months here before. Tony, Lydia, Jesse, Kenzi -- it's all coming back, but it's like a dulled ache, as if it's been a long time since he was here, when it can't have been.
And where even is this place? Apparently it's the Cape, but when he last left this place, they were in houses and there was an ocean.
He flips on the phone to send a message. His expression is soft, worried, sad, though he's trying to cover it up with a thin smirk, as usual. ]
So... I think I missed something from when I was here last until now. [ He smiles a little wider. ] What happened to the abandoned houses? They were a little eerie and invasive, but I liked finding random boxes of knitting in the bottom of the closets. This room is a little lacking in personality.
[ He gets a little more serious now. ] Tony, are you still here? Lydia? Jesse? Kenzi? Wallie? -- This is going to start to sound like I'm calling roll. [ He laughs softly, but nothing's particularly funny because he doesn't think it sounds like he's calling roll. It sounds more like he's reading off a list of names of people who've gone missing during a war. He pulls his reading glasses off. ]
I'd appreciate an update. Thanks.

I don't think anyone knows why yet, but they bring us here from all over -- different timelines, different universes, bringing us here and sending us back, only to do it all over again. I prefer Mad Science when it's just a song.
[ He doesn't think Steve'll get that, but Bruce can't help himself. ]
And they run tests on us, Steve. [ The humor is gone from him now. He's not sure -- How would Steve feel about people sampling his blood? Running tests on him? People being curious about the super soldier serum led to Bruce being what he is today, and that was just one ripple effect. ]

I really wish I'd talked to you earlier.
[Other people had mentioned the alternate universes as a theory, but no one had explained about people coming from different time lines. It may not have changed the reaction that he'd had to seeing his dead best friend, but it might have made it easier to believe it was really him.
He sighs and focuses in on Bruce's change in demeanor.]
People have mentioned experiments, but no one is really sure what was done to them.

Did something happen, Steve?

It didn't seem possible, but Steve's face falls even more. He looks away from the camera.]
I ran into an old friend. One that died seventy years ago.
[It should be a miracle and it is but that doesn't take away from the fact that he lost control of himself. Or that he hurt someone that he never wanted to hurt.]
I wasn't expecting to see him here.
