Day 10ish

[shiro2hero]

(It's high time I did this.)

[Oh no, someone is gearing up for one of Those Speeches. Because one of their new arrivals ticked off a box in his head, and Sam's asking for training helped.]

[And he's tired of walking on eggshells.]

(I don't know how many of you were there when I found out what my Symbiote does. I sort of wish I hadn't. But. I can't change that.)

[Yeah apparently it made him the Space Hulk. And it took at least two people to keep him from ripping someone's face off.]

(What I can do is control it. I just need to know where to start.)

(So I'm taking a lead from Sam Wilson. Asking if anyone is willing to help. I... don't think I can promise no one will get hurt, but if we're careful, maybe it'll just be me.)

[And he can live with that.]

Comments

[shiro2hero]

(... yeah that's.)

(Pretty much what I'm getting at.)

[headinjuries]

( Um. So, I got punched clear to Paris by the Hulk back home once.

I can take some pretty big hits, is what I guess I'm saying. )

[ It's about as much fun as dental work, but he can absolutely understand the feeling of "I need to get this under control, stat." ]

[shiro2hero]

(Wait, what?)

[The Hulk is real what.]

[... never mind, that's not important.]

(I wish I could say that's more helpful than it is... but I don't even know how to turn it on.)

[headinjuries]

( What pisses you off? )

[ That sounds like the logical place to start. ]

[shiro2hero]

(To be honest?)

(Not a whole lot.)

[Annoyed? Yes. Angry? Not so much.]

[headinjuries]

( Well, something must've. )

[shiro2hero]

(Yeah... it...)

[He blows out a breath.]

(Ever heard the term 'flashback'?)

[headinjuries]

( Yeah. They, uh. Don't sound fun. )

[ You never hear about anybody flashing back to their tenth birthday party or the first time they got laid. ]

[shiro2hero]

(Thaaat's... kind of an understatement.)

(... And also probably why it... happened.)

[headinjuries]

( Maybe we should find something else that gets you mad, because Hulking out could be pretty useful but, uh, the flashback part is. Kinda crap. )

[shiro2hero]

(That's the problem.)

(I can't really think of anything else.)

[headinjuries]

( Who's the most annoying person in the nest? Maybe they can come up with something. )

[shiro2hero]

[He wants to say what's taking up residence in Aoba's head, but that's counter-productive.]

(I think it's less annoyance and more... you know that feeling when something's going to hurt someone close to you?)

(It's like that.)
