When; Saturday, 10/27
Rating; Unknown, but Circus-related body horror in many threads
Characters; Bruce Banner, Luke, Serrure, Sif, Asami Sato, open to anyone in City Solutions or with a good reason to be there
Summary; Bruce has ended up treating several of the Circus' victims and now they're cluttering up his lab and apartment. Open post for people to visit Luke, Serrure, and Asami or pester Bruce (and possibly Sif)
Log;

Bruce's lab and apartment hadn't been intended as a makeshift hospital ward, but there they were. He'd set Asami up in his bedroom and Luke and Serrure were still kept in separate rooms to keep their magnetism from dragging their wounded bodies back together.

He's immediately available by network, but at the moment he's in his kitchen brewing up some chamomile tea. More accurately the water's heating and he has his forehead pressed against the stainless steel door of his fridge.

[ooc: Just set up threads for the various temporary residents for easy visitation.]

How hard can soup be, really? Think I'll make a good chef?

Can you follow instructions?

And the hard part is the tedious time spent skimming the fat off the soup hour after hour. Like I said, biochem is good preparation.

I can do anything you tell me.

[ Enjoying the feeling of being challenged, even if it's in a silly way. ]

We'll multitask - physics and cooking lessons. Your reward will be dinner.

[He's been trying to find ways to distract his patients all day. Apparently he's found the way to distract Asami with cooking.]

[ Cooking or being really cute, they're a little interchangeable. ]

What happens if I fail one or the other? You're not going to starve me, are you?

No, but if you fail with the cooking, dinner will be PB&Js

[being really cute would never be in his toolbox in his opinion]

[ That toolbox has suffered a secret upgrade! ]

'PB&Js'?

Peanut butter and jelly. It's a sandwich we usually associate with kids' food where I'm from.

Trust you to think of it first, then.

It's also a good go-to for adults who've burned dinner.

So, you've definitely got soup and sandwiches under your belt. That's more than a lot of people.

If I reach you too much your roommates will want you to cook all the time. Can you handle that?

They really won't. [ Shrugging, she sets the soup aside, not wanting to overdo it. ] Mostly, I eat when I'm out during the day.

[ Cafes have kept Asami alive all this time, and no one was surprised. ]

[He puts the lid back on the soup and moves the tray out of her way.]

Learn for yourself then. I've done plenty of cooking for one.

Physics and cooking? Hardly any difference.

Chemistry and cooking even more so, but you came to me for physics lessons.

Just how much homework can I expect to get the first time around?

[His expression is a little devilish.] We'll start with only one ton before hitting you with two tons.

[ Laughter rings out as she swats his arm. ]

You're so mean, Bruce! I want a life too!

[He got her to laugh despite everything. That's a major success.]

We can give you four hour blocks every other week for personal time.

What could a person possibly do in just four hours?

[ GO ON, SMARTYPANTS. ]

Bake a cake, read a book, watch two movies, four hours of martial arts practice, run a half marathon, meditate.

[Smiiiile.] Should I go on?

It takes me an hour to fix my hair in the morning! [ Slave driver!Bruce is in da howz, apparently. He gets a teasing pout. ] Don't make me, please ...

[He runs a hand through his hair to indicate how much time he spends on it... ever.]

Asami, you volunteered for this. You can do as much or as little as you want.

I'm kidding. [ Hngh, she really wants to take a brush to his hair. Maybe some scissors to do a trim. ] A ton would be inhumane of you.
