Serrure, what have I said to you about going to your mother when you don't agree with what I've told you? Just because your mother and I aren't living together doesn't mean that we don't share parental responsibilities.

I'm sorry you're upset about our living situation right now, but this isn't the way to show it.

Are you going to spend the weekend here or at your mother's house?

[ooc: Ye olde family curse of utter crack this weekend. Bruce is dad, the Hulk is mom, Serrure is their kid, and Luke/Loki is the homewrecker. No, we aren't on drugs. Yes, maybe we should be.]

I think you ought to know, Bruce. Hulk and I are engaged.

[hulkbusted]

What?

But...

What?

[infernoandhearth]

I am seeing the both of you, you know. And he proposed.

[hulkbusted]

You've...

Huh.

I thought we were happy?

[infernoandhearth]

I'm very happy with you. There isn't a "but" to this. I've never limited myself.

Mom still calls it the Corner of Shame. I feel my sense of self worth weakening every time I must sit there.

[hulkbusted]

I'll leave your mom a note. You know she's not big on change.

[doeswhathewants]

Not really big on notes, either, dad. Or using her words.

...so about the pony?

[hulkbusted]

We've talked about this. There's nowhere that we could keep one that it would be happy and well-cared for.

[doeswhathewants]

I'm sure there's a stable around here somewhere? I swear I'll take care of it, get up every day before school, after my suspension is over, and brush it and feed it and ride it.

You as well.

[hulkbusted]

Me as well, what?

[Became a City parent. Enjoy. She'll be there when it's over to look understanding and amused.] Dealing with the troubles that torment a parent.

[hulkbusted]

It's complicated, what with Serrure's mother and I having recently split, and now we're both remarrying. He's bound to have some behavioral problems for a while.

[asofwar]

You are both remarrying?

[ At least she's clicked on this time that it's a curse. People seem to be in a marrying mood and, pushing down the fact her crush takes a bit of a battering hearing Bruce talk to Sif on a public line about getting married, Asami isn't the type of person to let such silly feelings get in the way of her support. Even thought it's a bitter, painful pill to swallow. ]

Hi, Bruce. [ Tentatively. ] How are things? You sound kind of harassed.

[hulkbusted]

You know how teenagers can be. Ever since his mom and I split up, Serrure's been acting out at home and at school. I'm hoping things will get better when he's had time to adjust.

[bettercallit]

You're a father.

[ He's wearing his incredulous face, and it's not because he can't picture Bruce as a dad, it's because of the other part of it. ]

[hulkbusted]

Of course, didn't SHIELD have that in my file?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Must've missed that section. Easily done.

[hulkbusted]

Weird. I would have thought you'd be the type to commit the whole thing to memory. You just have that sense of thoroughness about you.

I'll introduce you to Serrure sometime. He's a good kid. [uh] He's really trying.

[punchedhitler]

Congratulations are in order?

[hulkbusted]

Well, Luke's pregnant, but we'll work with it.

[punchedhitler]

I'm sorry, did you say Luke is pregnant?

[hulkbusted]

Yes, Serrure's going to have a sibling.

I have to tell you, I wasn't expecting it at all, but now that it's starting to sink in, I think he'll be a great parent. He does so well with Serrure.
