[He's been in the mansion before--the one back home, anyway--but being invited to stay there gives the entire atmosphere a new and uncomfortable weight.

But more importantly: Skrull invasion, et cetera. He turns to Jen after looking around the living room for a second.]

So.

[raising an eyebrow at her, even though she ISN'T LOOKING AT HIM]

Not so good?

[prompt prompt prompt, listen listen listen]

[gammas]

[ STILL NOT GOING TO TBH ]

Is it ever really good? [ a beat... well.... god she has no idea how she feels about him anymore or how to deal with him ]

I got disbarred a while ago. I stopped being a superhero. I got arrested. I found out I had a bunch of family members I've never known about. I got married and then divorced to John Jameson.

A lot of stuff.

[ NOT INCLUDING GETTING SHOT FULL OF NANOBOTS YYYEAHH ]

[hulkacceptcash]

[that...is a lot, and it shakes him right back out of therapymode.]

You got disbarred? And-- [everything else, good lord] How did all that happen?

[gammas]

[ siiigh ]

I made a lot of bad choices and a lot of stupid decisions. No surprise there, right? [ ha... ha....... ]

[hulkacceptcash]

[with a little hey now nudge:]

Every human in history has made bad choices and stupid decisions. I could write a book on mine.

[gammas]

[ YEAH SHE KNOWS. burying her face in her hands though ]

Yeah, well, mine took away everything I loved to do and cared about. Not a big deal though, right?

It's old news.

[hulkacceptcash]

You need to focus on what you can do to get those things back. Have you told, uh-- me about any of this?

[wow differing timelines make it awkward to phrase things like that.]

Whenever you come from? You know I'd help you any way I could.

[gammas]

No, we... haven't really talked much lately.

[ because of the reasons she's trying to avoid talking about. y e p. ]

I mean, not that I don't appreciate the thought, Doc.

[hulkacceptcash]

That's too bad.

[back to being quiet. strange that they wouldn't talk--unless both of them were incredibly busy.

or it's related to the thing she clearly doesn't want to talk about, which is a little unsettling.

after a second he gets up.]

I guess I'll turn in. Do you mind pointing out an empty room?

[gammas]

[ there's this awkward pause from her because Len is still one of her best friends, but... ]

I'll walk you.

[ and she's standing up a moment after him, gesturing ]

Most of the rooms here are available so you can take your pick. But you might end up waking up next to Lockjaw one day; I have no idea how that dog works.
