DE CHIMA, LATE 25TH:

[ The Hulk hasn't been entirely about a lack of control, lately — there's usually direction, some kind of focus that keeps things manageable. Failing that, there's a team of superheroes right there to get in his way.

This time the focus is more acute. It's twisted, too, given a scope of impulse and violence that hasn't been around since the last time the Hulk was facing down the barrel of a government tank. But with it comes a control that doesn't quite fit the brute force behind it, and as the Hulk makes his way down one of the busier streets of De Chima, there’s no running or roaring or smashing.

Mostly. Other people are running and yelling, and he does occasionally slam his fist down on the hood of a car that gets in his way. The most recent one's grabbed by the front bumper and tossed irreverently into the front of a nearby cafe, shattering the windows; the resulting chaos is met with a very small smile.

But then brown eyes catch the faint shimmer of an imPort tattoo, and he's got a new mission: whoever just had the bad luck of showing up, they've got a massive green monster pacing in their direction. ]

[ The flinch is noted, but he doesn't back off. Instead he watches her for a moment, openly studying her — not because he's got any idea she's lying, just with a general sense of distrust. ]

A lot can change in two weeks.

[ With a blithe, cheery shrug: ]

Yeah, it can! But I still think that helping you is a good idea, so don't worry about that one bit.

[ But he still seems to be reluctant. So, for good measure, she gives a conspiratorial wrinkle of her nose: ]

Besides, honestly...I mean, obviously, doing that sort of research wouldn't even remotely be against the law. Obviously. But at the moment, the police are watching over me pretty closely, just in case the Hornets try something else. [ She taps her wristwatch as though it's a tracking device. ] And I don't want them deciding that your plans seem untoward or something like that.

[ Because Kitty is perfectly aware of how easy it is to take someone's blood even if they don't want to give blood. It's the easiest thing of all to take. So that's a gentle, roundabout sort of lie, with the message of don't try anything, the police are watching. ]

So waiting might be less trouble.
