[pm] I do not need them. It is barely a bullet wound, nothing to be concerned about. I was simply… not expecting it. 

Which brings me to another point I would like to ask you about, actually. Do you remember my blood work? Anything about it? I- I think something… changed. 

[drrobertbanner]

[pm] I wasn't suggesting you did, just letting you know where you can go. Tony bought a large pharmaceutical company, so if it's manufactured, I can get it. For once, not a completely over-the-top purchase.

Nothing specific, but I can pull it up and we can do another sample and comparison, if you'd like.

True, but no one’s ever walked up to me on the street and presented me with three random names to “FMK.” That’d make for an interesting afternoon, though… 

[drrobertbanner]

I wonder how many times you could try before the police were called.

[legal-eagle-walters-deactivated]

Alright, I suppose when you put it into cerspective you’re not that old. But you’re certainly getting there, Brucey. I’m sure you just let people think that you were bullied by schoolmates so you wouldn’t have to admit that it was really just your little cousin.

[drrobertbanner]

Thanks, that's sweet of you to admit. Not sure aging matters when you can't die. Of course, the alternative was far too embarrassing. Although, if they knew you, they'd get it. 

[pm] We should get lunch sometime, Jenn. It's been awhile. 

[telepathyismyantidrug-blog-blog]

Oh of course, absolutely unavoidable. Nothing at all, couldn’t possibly get to know each other and have basis for judgments without stereotypes, how could we possibly live without them?

Professor Charles Xavier, by the by, pleased to meet you. 

[drrobertbanner]

Judgment is a defining characteristic of humans, so I'm not sure. Back in the primordial ooze maybe?

Nice to meet you, Charles. I'm Doctor Robert Banner, if we're going for titles. You can call me Bruce, though.

[thestarsarentsafe]

[pm] Bubbly? 

Wonderful. More things to add to the list of foolish behaviors. Remind me never to take painkillers like that ever again. 

Much appreciated. Any suggestions already? Or are you saving them for a rainy day?

[drrobertbanner]

[pm] Like I said, it was odd. 

If you come here, I'll try to give you something less embarrassing. 

I think I'll save them. Never know when having a favor from an assassin will come in handy.

[hackyourheartout-blog]

Yeah, I guess people don’t much care about being intrusive online, do they?

[drrobertbanner]

They barely care in real life, let alone behind a screen.

The arguing is my favorite part. When I win, that is. Oh, you better believe I’m still stronger than you. Just because you’re an old man now doesn’t mean I won’t hesitate to give you a killer wedgie. 

[drrobertbanner]

We are such opposites. Hey, I am not that old. I don't even have a cane yet and my movies are just as pricey as yours are. And people thought I was bullied at school, but really it was when I got home. 

[telepathyismyantidrug-blog-blog]

It comes with being born in England, I believe. I have very little choice in the matter. Tea or death, no in-between. Can’t have the stereotypes challenged, you know. 

[drrobertbanner]

Same with living in India, I think. It's unavoidable. And what would we know about anyone if there weren't stereotypes.

[thestarsarentsafe]

[pm] I cannot thank you enough for looking after Perseus. And putting up with my messages while on heavy painkillers. I owe you a favor. 

Well. Another favor. 

[drrobertbanner]

[pm] Happy to help. Well mostly. You were a little more bubbly than usual. It was odd.

I promise, I'll be kind with my suggestions.

To think—there have been times, moments in the past few years when I’ve almost thought there might be a chance I could control the Hulk, harness that power for the good of all. Yet always, always the dream dies, the madness comes back. And each time, it seems worse than before.

Well you know what they say- love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life. Actually that’s total crap- but hey, when you love what you do it makes all the crap worth it. Probably smart, that way you won’t be in extra trouble for breaking a promise to me. 

[drrobertbanner]

True enough. I just couldn't take the arguing. Too much like my childhood. And I'd hate to do that. You're probably still stronger than me.

While I’m not thrilled to be working on Valentines Day, this does make the fifth year in a row- and I guess there’s something to be said for consistency. So, happy Valentines Day, Los Angeles. Do me a favor and try not to commit any crimes of passion tonight.  

[drrobertbanner]

You love your work more than most people love their dates, so it makes sense. And I won't make any promises, Jenny.
