[ The device turns on to a man looking just a hint disheveled, but overall he looks very mild and gathered. He's taken his time to calm down by now, after all. ]

Ah, hey, so I read the... [ He lifts the pamphlet and waves it a little, though not at all dismissively. ] ... this little brochure. Very helpful, actually, so thanks to whoever wrote it. And yeah, you guessed it, I'm new.

[ It might be a little difficult to tell whether or not he's being honest in his appreciation, but this time he really is. ]

So. Parallel universes, who would've thought. Guess stranger things could've happened. [ Except not really. But it's nice to think that. ] I won't bore any of you with questions, I got the gist of it by now.

But I'd like to know if there are any experts out there, if I can pick your brain. Not just on alternate realities, but space and time traveling, wormholes, portals, pocket universes - which is what I'm assuming this all is.

[ He sets the brochure aside and rubs a hand briefly down his face. ]

Because here's the thing - how does a place like this even happen? This is tiny, unbelievably so. Even if opening a wormhole that can actually travel across different dimensions without any visible devices or power source, how can it happen with several? Because for not just one or two universes, but dozens or hundreds of them to be converging here, and from fluctuating times and points within them, this place should be... I don't know, torn into pieces, disintegrating entirely. No laws of physics can explain this, and just - you know what, just spare me the speech on how physics don't work the same way here.

[ He's trying to keep it simple for the common listener, but just in case he didn't succeed, he adds as a final thought. ] This place is impossible.

[ Not that he won't try to make some sense of it, and for now at least seeing if he can find someone who'll help him with that seems like the best option. That, and finding a quiet corner where he can stay. ]

Thanks for listening. And for answering, if you do. [ He hesitates for a moment before he finally decides to add. ] Name's Bruce Banner, by the way.

[ Not that he has a lot of hope that he'll find someone here he knows, but... well, yesterday he'd have said something like this would be hilariously impossible. So who's to say. ]

[Yet. She doesn't say it, but she's thinking it. She's not about to write off the possibility that it might come to that. When she speaks, her voice is dry with sarcasm.]

Isn't that a comforting thought? This'd be hell on my career back home.

This group here. [She leads him towards the section of hall the other Avengers have taken up residence in.] Most of us are scattered in a long here, so help yourself to any of these rooms that are unclaimed. And try out the magic. It's pretty fascinating. I still keep randomly changing mine around, just because I can.

[She admits this with a crooked smile, crossing her arms over her chest as she flicks a mischievous glance sideways at him.]

[It's hard not to recognize a motel room for what it is, especially since she's spent so much time in them herself. She's a little sad for him, though, that out of all the places he must have stayed, lived... this is the room that comes to the forefront of his memory? She had spent her fair share of time on the run, hunted by different factions, if for different reasons than he had. But SHIELD had changed that - Clint, Fury, Coulson. Did he really have nowhere he thought of as home anymore?

The surprise on his face distracts her from her thoughts, however, as she glances from the room to him and back again, a small frown on her face.]


Bruce? Are you alright?

Not the room you were expecting, I take it?

[Her voice is quiet as she gives him a little space, because whatever this motel room meant, it was more than just a place he stayed at once. It has meaning to him.]

[She could press, but she doesn't. She's still learning how to read the expressions on his face, the subtle movements that make up his body language. His answer is vague, but his reaction to the room is anything but. If he wants to tell her, she'll listen, but she doesn't feel right about poking at this.

Instead, she carefully tests the waters a different way.]


Would you rather a different room? If you close the door you can try again.

[She inclines her head in acceptance of that, giving him a small smile.]

Alright. Is there anything else I can help you with then?

[Giving him an out if that's what he needs right now, the time and privacy to deal with whatever reactions the room on the other side of this door gave him.]

[She nods and steps back, motioning to a door not far away as she does so.]

Alright. If you need anything, I'm just there. I'll see you later, Bruce.
