Phil Coulson | MCU

Bruce half smiles and nods. "Yeah, one of the best secret agents." He puts a hand on Phil's back to direct him towards the cafeteria...but then changes his mind and asks if it's alright if they can eat while up top on deck. The helicarrier is in the water right now so it wouldn't be dangerous.

Soon, they're carrying trays of food out to the railing on the top deck, below them the jet planes and helicopters are being cleaned and readied in case of an emergency.

And Phil is immediately distracted from the food by the jet planes and helicopters below him, which he watches with a growing degree of fascination.

Bruce sits next to the railing, digging into his large plate of food. Mostly carbs because his metabolism goes faster than the average human. He watches Phil's expression, glad that he's enjoying himself. He's not too fond of the machines himself, but that's just because they usually ended up shooting at him earlier in his life. "Your hotdog is going to get cold," he says, indicating his tray.

[sonofcoul]

"Oh, sorry." He settles down and starts eating his hotdog.

Bruce continues eating, watching as another helicopter comes in for landing. His fork stops midway to his mouth, remembering the helicopters coming at him guns flashing at him while large green hands...

Bruce fumbles with the fork, giving his head a shake. No. Not going to happen, he tells his inner monster. Not today.

Phil looks a bit quizzically at Bruce. "You okay?"

[smash_stuff]

Bruce puts the fork back on his plate to rub the bridge of his nose. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Don't worry." Please don't worry, little Coulson.

[sonofcoul]

He nods agreeably. "Okay!" His attention is then diverted back to his hot dog.

Bruce is glad he gets distracted so easily. Flashbacks he can deal with, so long as nobody else notices. "So...we need to work out what happened so we can change you back."

[sonofcoul]

Phil pauses. "If we don't figure it out, does that mean I'm stuck here?"

[smash_stuff]

"I...don't know? I mean, worst case scenario, I'm sure you could stay..." Bruce trails off, not sure what Shield's protocols were for kids.

"...I'll make sure you're alright." If he had to take matters into his own hands, call up Betty Ross and explain the situation, he would. Coulson had been there for him, he could do no less than the same.

[sonofcoul]

"All right." He nods slowly, finishing his hot dog and setting the tray aside.

"But do you think you'll fix it?"

[smash_stuff]

"....I don't know. But I'll do my best." Bruce hoped that whatever happened to Coulson wasn't changing his DNA now permanently.

"I guess if I can't, you'll get a chance to grow up all over again."

[sonofcoul]

"Yeah, I guess so." He sounds a bit skeptical of the idea.

[smash_stuff]

He then realizes nobody's really asked Phil what he wants to do, they've just been telling him what to do.

"What would you like to do?" Either in the meantime while they're sorting out the problem or about the problem itself, Bruce doesn't mind either answer.
