[Bruce's morning had come with a jarring transition from sleep to wakefulness when his sleepy morning chest scratching had come minus the usual scritch of chest hair under his fingers and plus the uncomfortable obstruction of a metal object in his chest that turned out to be an arc reactor.

After a period of freaking out and self-examination, the varying particulars of which he will forever keep to himself, he's grabbed his communicator in an attempt to track down his own body.]

Hello, City, this is Bruce Banner currently occupying Tony Stark's body.

If you see this man, he is not Bruce Banner today.

Do not give him caffeine. Do try to help him stay calm.

Tony, wherever you are, I'll be responsible with your body. I assume you have mine, come see me so I can give you care and feeding instructions.

[ Unfortunately Stiles can't remember Bruce, so he can't find this as hilarious as usual. But Derek had shown him how to use the Device and even if he's trying to lay low, he can't resist this one. ]

Kinky.

[hulkbusted]

I'm not in the mood for superhero levels of sarcasm today, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

[ Oh great, someone else who knows the human him. At least some things never change. ]

But that's the great thing about sarcasm, nobody ever is.

[Peering intently at you right now, Bruce.]

Did you get lost and swapped with someone else by accident?

[hulkbusted]

Bobby, hey. This is Bruce, it's one of those City curse things. They usually end after a day. Sometimes two if it's a weekend like this. Keep your eyes open, people may act strangely for a couple of days.

[horseish]

[Like people don't ask strangely all the time from her perspective.]

Okay.

How does the body changing thing work?

[whitetwoguns]

More power to you, man.

[hulkbusted]

I can't decide if that's a pun or if you've misunderstood my problem.

[whitetwoguns]

The man's loaded ain't he. Famous or something too.... How's that a problem?

[fe_male]

You actually might want to talk to Pepper about care and feeding. I'm a little busy.

[hulkbusted]

[Noting the network ID rather than the face...]

Shit.

Okay, I'll track her down. Anything I should know about your body? Allergies? [Tapping the reactor in his - Tony's - whatever chest.] Maintenance?

[fe_male]

No allergies, although if you feel like you can't totally get a full breath, that's normal. You'll hyperventilate trying, so. Just don't get blown up or anything and it'll be good. Doing anything fun?

[threeolives]

Bruce! I'd assumed you were in my body, but it looks like things are a little more screwed up than that.

[hulkbusted]

Okay, yeah, for the record that's just as weird as when Luke does it.

Hey...uh...Pepper.

How are you feeling?

[threeolives]

When Luke does what? Wears your body?

Feeling... strange. Okay, though. Had a close call this morning when I stubbed my toe, but I took care of it.

Did you hit your head?

[hulkbusted]

No, the City's playing stupid games again.

Did you hit your head?

Re: video:

[split_the_world]

No. How can a City play games?

[She thinks she's new here.]

[therightchoice]

[ ??!!????? ]

What just happened?

[hulkbusted]

It's a curse. It's swapped my consciousness into Tony's body and Tony is currently in Pepper's body. Pepper apparently got mine.

It's a mess.

[therightchoice]

Oh. Well, what happens if you give him caffeine?

[ video ]

[georgeous]

Bodies switching? I'd normally be inclined to disbelieve about something like this, but given the circumstances...

Are these kind of things usual occurrences here?

[ video ]

[hulkbusted]

I've been here five months and it's happened to me twice, so yeah, I guess that qualifies for usual.

[bettercallit]

Swapping with Stark. Tough break. Want me to track him down, tie him up until this thing's over?

Re: [ Video ]

[hulkbusted]

Turns out it's a little more complicated than that; it's a three-way swap, and Pepper's in the mix.
