[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]

No, usually I can take it, but right now I'm not enjoying the arc reactor in my chest and not knowing for sure that Tony's not going to take the green guy for a spin.

[studmuffin]

It could be worse, you could be Deadpool.

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.

[hulkbusted]

Do I want to know who that is?

[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.

[studmuffin]

You guys don't have Deadpool? This place sucks.

[hulkbusted]

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

[hulkbusted]

You lost me. Is Deadpool a person or a state of being?

[hulkbusted]

I wish I knew. I'm heading down to my lab to get some data that I can compare to the other time I swapped bodies with someone here.

[horseish]

If you find out I'd like to hear it.

I bought a snow suit yesterday, would you like to see?

I'll tell the world.

[He peers into the screen and reaches to adjust glasses Tony's body doesn't need before he beams at her.]

That was a good pick, a really smart one. Is it as warm as it looks?

[horseish]

I haven't tried it out yet.

[hulkbusted]

I'll come out with you after I get my body back and you can give me a full report on its usefulness.

[fe_male]

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

[horseish]

It's a deal.

Did you wake up in a different house, too?

[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?

[hulkbusted]

No, I woke up in my own bed. It took me a minute to realize that things weren't right.

[horseish]

I think I would notice much sooner if I was a different person.

[hulkbusted]

Bobby, answering that would require talks about identity and self that I'm not sure I'm old enough to have. Let's spare you from them and just say I was sleepy.

[horseish]

[Well fine be that way.]

I'll let you know if I see the other you today.
