Can someone tell me if anyone knows how people arriving here works? I know we get pulled here, but does anyone know why sometimes people come in from the same universe all at once?

Report. What's the status on Loki? How do we deal with this regarding civilians? Thor, what do you want to do? I know he's your brother but you know we can't let him be destructive, or try and take over, either.

I was told you're the one to come to regarding the Police Force.

[Bruce contacts Steve much later after the video is broadcasted and he's fidgety, and uncertain. Loki has rattled him.]

He's still as crazy as the last time.

Not a doubt about it, Doctor.

Will you be all right with Tony?

Re: private video

[alwaysangered]

[Bruce shrugs awkwardly. He's lost the more laid back he'd gained before.] I'll stay here and find a bolt hole.

It would be better if I was out of the city.

We could take you up into the mountain, if that would be easier.

Re: private video

[alwaysangered]

[Bruce pauses and nods.] I'm better out of everyone's way. I don't want to go on a rampage through the entire town.

I'd be glad to take you, but if something happens, I'll send Tony to get you.

[Meaning: he respects your choices but he thinks you're a huge help.]

Re: private video

[alwaysangered]

Thanks. [Bruce is relieved that this won't turn into a fight and that Steve gets it. After all they've seen what the Hulk could do on the Helicarrier.]

That would be great...I will come if there is a fight with Loki and I'll aim myself directly at him.

But you know I have to ask - do you really think there's a risk of...the other guy?

Re: private video

[alwaysangered]

There is always a risk Steve, especially here where I can't control the variables like the curses.

private video

[punchedhitler]

And Loki's the worst variable yet.

Re: private video

[alwaysangered]

[Bruce nods.] If he can replicate what he did the last time to build the anger...[Bruce looks down.]

You wouldn't be able to stop the other guy before he destroyed half the town. At least out of way, the worst I can do is destroy rock and trees.

[punchedhitler]

All right.

I don't like the idea of running away. But I don't want you hurting anyone, either, even accidentally.

Re: private video

[alwaysangered]

I'm not running. I'm taking sensible precautions. [Bruce smiles wryly.] At least you aren't locking me up.

When can we leave?

[punchedhitler]

Today, if you like.

Re: private video

[alwaysangered]

Yeah that would be great. I'll gather supplies and warn Tony. I can be ready in two hours.

[punchedhitler]

I'll be there to get you.
