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.

Dr. Banner.

[There's no denying the man on the other end of the feed. Steve says his name with a mixture of hope and concern. Of all the people he expected to see here, Bruce isn't one of them. It also brings new concerns to the forefront of his current predicament.

And then there's the fact that Bruce remembers being here before. Just like Steve supposedly was, despite not having any recollection of being so.]


I'm not sure I can offer any more information for you. I've only been here a couple of days myself. It sounds like you might know more about it than I do.

[He pauses, the list definitely having a memorial feel.]

Stark was here?

You're back!

You missed the move. Newsflash - we have food now; it's awesome. On the downside no more sea view and awesome homes.

On a bigger downside, pretty sure the majority of that list packed up and left down. I suppose, it's not bad really, depends how you look at it.

[ And you know... death. Namely Wallie's death to save her... ]

[Oh, dear. Wallie. Fortescue offers a sympathetic smile, and wonders if she should break that particular piece of news.]

I'm afraid none of those people are here any more. But I do agree with you about the lack of personality. It can be rather stifling. A tunnel system opened up, and the Cape became unstable. We've come here instead.

Wait, back up the horse. [Garrett's face gets very close to the screen, his dark eyes serious looking. It was clear he'd only taken in the very first part of that message.] You were here and then not here? How? How did you get out? Did whoever did this let you out? Or did you escape? Speak, man! We are burning daylight!

[And finally Garrett is forced to take a breath.]

It's a science center. Someone mentioned tunnels coming from the town to here. I missed that part, only just got here myself.

My, my - look what the cat dragged back in.

[Which is, uhm, sympathy, sort of, because:]

Pretty sure everyone you were hoping for's dead. That or MIA - either way they're not here. Sorry. [He doesn't sound all that sorry, though admittedly he'd rather Kenzi were still around.] On the bright side, though, nor is Loki one point oh, which resolves a lot of those identity confusion issues.

Damn. Was hoping--

[He stops and fiercely shakes his head, as if to shake off the emotion. Hope is a fool's tool in this place.]

--Does not mater. Wonder why they let some go 'n then take them back. Does not make much in the way of sense.

Some of the food looks a bit dodgy and knowing the bad luck that seems to follow us around this place it's probably poisonous. But some of it is brilliant!

Much better than surviving on the manky tins at the back of a cupboard.

[Steve frowns and gives a small nod of his own.]

So I've been told. Twice, by one person's count.

[It doesn't exactly make him feel better that it's being backed by Dr. Banner's own assessment. He doesn't remember being here. He's even less pleased by the ideas of alternate versions of himself.]

Any idea on what brought us here?

[Steve doesn't get that reference, but he nods anyway, a look of guilt clouding his face. His appearance and voice is suddenly weary, tired.]

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.

There's Martha Jones. And I'm pretty sure Mina is still around too. I dunno about any other doctors.

We presume it's... where we taken, when we were grabbed from the town. [It's the best explanation, given the infirmary, but it doesn't explain where they were kept. Unless they were in these rooms before, and their memories of them were simply erased.] We can't find any scientists, but we've found their equipment and the room they used to watch us in.

Maybe it is gods who rule this place. Most use mortals the way a child uses bugs for play.

[Now he's got the uncomfortable image of all the times he burnt beetles or poured water down anthills when he was small tapping away inside his head. If they are truly the bugs here, that doesn't bode well for their chances of survival.

Garrett's about to give out his name, the way he has when anyone else has asked, when a spark of mischief strikes him. He's had precious little use for humor thus far, so it's a good sign that it's finally returning to him.]


Why? Do you not like your own?

Not yet, but I just got here. You remember how long ago you were here?
