FOR BRUCE BANNER: Late night of Dec 8

[everylittlegirl]

Hayley had checked in with Bruce three hours later with a simple text, as promised. Now, as she made her way to the man's house, she felt decimated at best. Staying elsewhere was definitely a good idea given the allies that Clark had and how many of them might seek revenge. Yet, for all the kindnesses Bruce had given her through their time together, she felt compelled to explain the situation and that would be a nightmare of its own.

She wouldn't betray Clark's secret. Not without good reason, not with her head still spinning from the discovery. But she would explain the Kryptonite and about hurting Superman and why others might seek her out. She would give Bruce the option of expelling her from his suite. It wasn't like he had any reason to protect her and it was unfair to put his life in danger.

Before she knew it, she was knocking at his door, hood pulled up to help soften the fear at the edges of her expression and bag slung across her shoulder.

Let me know if this works acceptably.

Approaching Hayley over the matter of her attack on his son was not Jor-El's priority. Ensuring that Kal-El would recover fully was, even as he took care that visiting his and Lois' suite did not expose Kal-El further. Confronting her over the matter could wait, and it did.

When he finally decided to speak to her her, a few days had already passed. He did not inform Kal-El; that, if he decided to do so at all, he would do later. Now was the time for him to recover, rather than be concerned for others. Finding her when she would be available to speak to was difficult, though he had anticipated it would be the case.

These days, he spends most of his time at home during the day and at work during the nighttime hours. There are fewer people there in the middle of the night and he doesn’t feel like dealing with anyone. Since the alcohol dried up, figuratively speaking, he hasn’t felt like dealing with much of anything, and that means pulling strings of all-nighters until he feels so disconnected and out of it that he doesn’t care anymore. But eventually he has to sleep, his body gives up and forces it on him, and the whole cycle starts all over again.

So here he is, wide awake and out running his demons by pacing the halls of this Through the Looking Glass version of Stark Industries. It’s quiet, peaceful, making him feel deceptively like he’s the only person in the world. It’s a terrible feeling, but an oddly comforting one too. No one can get hurt, and no one can hurt him, if he’s the only one left.

It’s then, thoroughly wrapped up in his maudlin thoughts, that he rounds the corner and runs into Hayley. The other, other Stark, as the guy with the laptop called her. Hauled out of his thoughts, Tony steps back and blinks at her, trying to work out what she’s doing here at this hour.

“Didn’t expect to see you here,” he settles on, temporizing in the hope that she’ll explain it without him having to ask further.
