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.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Oh hi, new guy who's her superhero self's new boyfriend. Pinkie the pony's just gonna zip over and see what's wrong.]

You okay, Arthur?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Sees Pinkie as he glanced at her while drinking down a whole shot. He brushed his fingers through his hair as he shook his head.]

No...

No I'm really not.

[sciencesmash]

Welcome to being a Superhero, Lee, it's a wild ride.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Hoo boy, hitting the hard stuff, eh?

Pinkie turns to the bartender.]

Two Chocobo smoothies, Heartbreaker size, Dominic.

[She turns to Arthur.]

Ice cream headaches go away a LOT faster than hangover headaches.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Groans as he rubs his forehead.]

Is this why Tony drinks so much? Because I think I understand now.

[sciencesmash]

One of the myriad reasons.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Dominic nodded sympathetically as he prepared the drinks for the two. Arthur looks over at Pinkie with a small smile and a sigh.]

Thanks Pinks.

...

[Looks down.]

Sorry you're seeing me like this.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a sigh.]

Bruce...

I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared about what's going to happen to me.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[She pats his forearm with her hoof.] Hey, it's okay. Munny doesn't really like putting me through the SUPER hardcore sad stuff, but I understand how hard it can be.]

[Yeah, the mun prefers to go for more raw feels.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur gave a nod.]

That's good, I don't want anything bad to happen to you either.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[She shakes her head.]

Or to you. Although I'm KINDA worried about how that love triangle's gonna work out.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He bites his bottom lip.]

Yea...

My mun did say she wants to try and get me to meet Kovu on friendly terms if possible so...

[Sips the ice cream drink as he looked to the side.]

That might be a good thing right?

[sciencesmash]

I wish I could tell you its going to be okay, but... but I'm sorry, it won't.

Do you know how much bullshit the Hulk has gone through? Roleplayers aren't that different from comic book writers, when you get right down to it.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur looks down with an awfully melancholic expression.]

... I believe you.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Maybe. Then again, this IS Kovu. He threatened to set me on fire once just because I was a human.

[hisheadintheclouds]

I also punched his brother for kidnapping a young innocent girl...

[sciencesmash]

The best you can do is bounce back from the situation. Some people break you because they can, others break you so they can build you back up again, hopefully better than new.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Eh, he probably wouldn't mind THAT too much. [Her face grows long again.] I don't think he or any of his blood family get along very well.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a soft smile.]

I think all I can hope now is that it's the second half...

Thanks Bruce.

[hisheadintheclouds]

Oh...

[Looks down.]

I guess that makes sense, considering his brother's decisions.

Still that sucks.

[sciencesmash]

Don't mention it.

I suppose already being broken beyond repair makes me... lucky, in a way.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur looks at him with concern.]

... That still doesn't make it right though.

[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".

[spontaneouscombustion]

Yeah. And that's another reason; I don't wanna make him sad. Or you either, especially if this brainwashing thing gets in the middle of it.

[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.
