[Private to Bruce Banner]

Still think I'm cute, Doc? I grew out of the tantrum-throwing stage so you can rest easier or whatevs.

[Private to House]

Giving a little girl candy, playing dress up, and then taking pictures to send to your friends? Wow. What a first impression, Doctor.

[greenisnteasy]

Totally. Even cuter. You know all about inside voices, and you're just about the same size.

[onteamdyson]

Just because I KNOW about inside voices, doesn't mean I'm gonna use them. Also, wow! Size jokes coming from you.

[She smirks.... and ... feels really, incredibly, insanely bad right now.]

Soooo. Still a teen, huh?

[greenisnteasy]

I joke out of love. [He grins.]

No, I got some insane experimental plastic surgery. This is just my face now.

[onteamdyson]

It's like you just kept all your adult sass and it's been compressed and concentrated into this smaller, teenage form. I'm a little scared... not gonna lie.

How's your... situation? You all zen and peaceful?

[greenisnteasy]

That is... very accurate. I'm starting to realize maybe why I didn't have any friends at this age.

And yeah, I'm doing better. [Did she even realize he was on the verge of trouble?] How about you? Adjusting to your sudden growth spurt okay?

[onteamdyson]

... You didn't have friends? You? Nicest freakin' guy on the planet Bruce Banner had no friends? Remind me to go back in time and kick a lot of ass.

[She kind of figured after the fact that the kids ganging up on him probably wasn't so good for his heart rate.]

Yeaaaaaaah, other than the part where I woke up to my sweater trying to suffocate me. It's nice to be the right size again. And Loki can actually sleep-- ... mostly. [Smiiiiirk.]

[greenisnteasy]

I went to a high school for people who are really good at science and got teased for being smart. The world's an unfair place.

[Oh, right. They're together sort of, aren't they? It was cuter when she was six and drew out the "o" on the love. Now he's thinking about them... not.. sleeping.]

Yeah, I'm glad Tony aged up enough but not too much so we can not sleep too. These hormones are killin' me, Smalls.

[onteamdyson]

The world sucks balls and I would have fucked those bitches UP.

['Sort of' being the key words here. She still loved him like woah, but Loki was sort of together with whoever the hell he wanted to be with.

And then he had to go and bring up Tony and it felt like a stab to the heart. The hell was she doing?]

First of all, can't believe you just slipped a Sandlot reference in there. Please tell me you've seen the Mighty Ducks because that is one of my fave movies of all time. Secondly? ... We should hang out. Or something. When you're not busy.

[greenisnteasy]

Not sure I have that one up to quotable levels, but I saw it at some point? And yes, we should. I'm not busy now if you aren't busy?

[onteamdyson]

Noooope. Not busy. Where do you wanna chill? Somewhere with a big couch would totes rock. Oh my god... we need to put couches in your lab.

[greenisnteasy]

[ALL THE BETTER FOR LAB SEX. Maybe he has a kink or maybe he just feels so very sixteen-slash-seventeen. Maybe both. He does keep falling for lab partners.]

Theater? We could see if there's The Mighty Ducks or some other movie classic and ignore it to talk instead. Also that sounds like a fun couch-stealing shenanigan. We could take one out of the SHIELD meeting room.

[Sorry, Phil. Bruce is a teenage REBEL.]

[onteamdyson]

[Kenzi was thinking more for naps because half the science Bruce and Tony do is way the hell over her head and super boring. If there was a couch, she'd have more reason to bother Bruce.

... Clearly the couch would have to be cleaned on a regular basis if she was going to visit.]

Theater works. It's hella close. Then couch stealing. That would be a great first move as a potential SHIELD candidate. I apparently got a job offer. It pays to play dress up with the higher-ups.

... Ask Clint about the wizard hat sometime.

Meet you there?

[greenisnteasy]

[He brightens at the idea of Kenzi working for SHIELD. He still thinks the divisions are silly, and he's slowly coming around to the idea of being anything more than a consultant dragged into an organization, but he likes the idea of Kenzi being in this pointless clubhouse.]

Wizard hat, will do. [Except probably not because maybe Clint wants to kill him. Not really, Bruce doesn't think he does, but he'd been scared for five minutes.]

Be there soon.

[It's closer for Kenzi than it is for Bruce, but he's there in just a few minutes, his hands in his pockets.]

[onteamdyson]

[Kenzi was sitting upsidedown on one of the couches with her hair touching the floor. Really, returning to her actual age hadn't done much to her personality.

She sits up when she sees Bruce, grinning like a dork.]

Oh. My. God. You are so CUTE! I thought everything was just extra cute because of my six year old eyes but holy hell, BB! Look at you!

[So adorable. Augh, now she feels worse.]

[greenisnteasy]

Cute? That's a step up from poodle.

[He's flustered by her reaction though and a little shy as he sits next to her, hands folding together in his lap.]

The more I stay like this, the less I feel like my adult self. It really can stop any time now.

[onteamdyson]

I only called you a poodle out of love! How did you even hear about that? Did it spread? Handy kept calling Mohinder a sheep and I said you were more poodle-ish. Then we looked at blood samples and got bandaids with tigers on them. I didn't even freak!

[Small her is way braver than big her apparently. Her smile turns sympathetic and she reaches over to wrap her arms around him. Huuuuuug.]

It probably won't last much longer. Looks like it's wearing off of everybody nowish.
