Someone Isn't Happy

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He's on the phone with his mun.]

Wow.

ARE YOU SERIOUS.

WOW.

You seriously, want me to go through with this-HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD ME IN YOUR HEADSPACE?! AND YOU'RE LETTING ME GO THROUGH, BRAINWASH AND TORTURE?!!

WHAT. THE FLYING. FUCK?!!!

[Slams the phone down and stomps into the bar. Growls as he orders something hard and vodka-y.]

[sciencesmash]

No, I mean....

She gets to go straight into trying to rebuild me, the worst she's willing to do to me is turn me into a version of her beloved "Smart Hulk".

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a dull blink at him.]

A "Smart Hulk"...?

[Arthur's Mental Mind Theater:

Chibi Hulk: "TODAY, HULK TEACH CLASS THE PHYSICS OF SMASHING ENEMY IN FACE!"

Student: "I don't understand the purpos-"

Chibi Hulk: "YOU GET F!" *punts the poor student out the window*]

... That sounds weird...

But kinda funny.

[sciencesmash]

Yes, a "Smart Hulk", a.k.a. the Hulk with my intelligence and possibly my personality... [Bruce is none too thrilled with the idea, though.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

Oh, I see.

Well...

Well that's not too bad is it?

I mean unless she makes you stuck like that?

[sciencesmash]

Arthur, would I be complaining about it if the only thing she was doing was making it so I was lucid while I was the other guy?

[hisheadintheclouds]

...

[Winces.]

True.

Sorry.

[sciencesmash]

It could be worse, I suppose.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a sympathetic smile.]

Well, if it's any consultation, I bet everyone still will think you're really awesome.

I mean I do.

Hulk guy or not.

You're still you, you know?

[sciencesmash]

People don't think the other guy's awesome, they think he's a menace, it won't matter how smart he is.

[hisheadintheclouds]

Well he's awesome cause he's helping...?

I think he's awesome.

I mean you, yourself are more awesome.

But you know there are levels of awesome you know.

Scales of awesome.

And uh... Hulk has a scale too.

[sciencesmash]

Was that English?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a sheepish smile.]

I'm not sure.

There was an attempt at English somewhere in there.

B-But you get what I mean right?

The situation will suck but you'll still have people like me who really likes you.

[sciencesmash]

That makes me feel... so much better.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Rubs the back of his neck as he pouts.]

Sorry.

[sciencesmash]

It's not the superhero community I'm worried about.

[hisheadintheclouds]

Yea...

[Gives another sip of his drink.]

I can understand that.

There's a lot of assholes among humans.

... I think that's why I'm not looking forward to the torture thing that's gonna happen to me...

[sciencesmash]

What are they going to do to you anyway.

[hisheadintheclouds]

... Do you remember King Kong?

[sciencesmash]

Yes...

[hisheadintheclouds]

Remember the scene where they have him all tied up in chains and have him shown to a whole audience.

Imagine that, but with me.

With an audience full of people who hate "creatures" like me and want to humiliate me.

[sciencesmash]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Holds up a drink.]

Now you see why I'm drinking.

[sciencesmash]

Can't you just step on them?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Looks down.]

The chains will be to hard to break...

There will be a group of guys who will "save" me. But...

Those are the guys who are also gonna brainwash me.

I don't think "save" is the right word.

[sciencesmash]

Will you need anyone... ah... smashed?
