In one corner of Ten Forward, a man has taken his familiar spot, and sat there for some hours, with a break here or there. He has managed to stake out one table consistently, having figured the atmospheric content, the lighting, the temperature, and more, and deemed it suitable to his needs. There, various small pieces of machinery sat. They were his work, new designs of ideas from his world, technology that in some ways was more advanced than that which existed in this place and time, and reproduced, and mated with the concepts of this era's technology. He has been building these models to show how larger scale devices would work. Or to first make sure they work themselves.

Well, he's been here for two weeks now, and he's managed to make progress. He's managed to design one fully working model and that made him smile. The rest are still in various stages of work. In front of him, his PADD, his old cell-phone, and some pieces of Chitauri tech have been converted into a different kind of PADD, and laid flat on the table. Above it, a holographic screen hung, and there is where Bruce was currently working. He was working on equations to solve the inherent differences in energy source and structure between the two sciences.

His hands moved the hard light words and math around, as if working on a touch screen, and while he doesn't let the thought interrupt him, when he caught a glimpse of his now normal looking clothing, he felt a surge of gratitude for the fact that the Mardi Gras madness seemed to be ended.

Every now and then, he had been glancing around, looking to see if anyone else he knew was here. He had met Peggy, whom he had not known,. save by reputation, and Natasha, with whom he had... not a great relationship. And he had met one other, as well, and that one made him smile. Steve was a good man, honestly good. Bruce didn't agree with everything the man said, but he thought that Steve was one of the best humans he knew.

Despite this, he was unsure about meeting others. He was not really social, and he was not good at social... anything. But he kept his eyes open.

So not Kansas | Open!

You can't grow up on an Avengers world without strange occurrences being a part of your life every now again, least growing up in New York City. Superheroes flying around in metal suits or wielding god-like powers or turning into giant green hulks are just par course. No biggie, not really. Maybe a frustration to some people, but Kate Bishop had always seen them as an inspiration. Just like the time she spent in soup kitchens as a kid, these were people doing their own part to make the world a better place.

Yeah, there was a big cost sometimes. A painful cost. Superheroes put their lives at risk every fight. Some of them die. Others just make stupid ass mistakes that ought to make them grateful to have the plucky partner more than willing to save them from themselves.

Which is why, after a good night's sleep in her own bed in her own apartment for the first time in months, the very first thing Kate thinks of doing when she wakes up the next morning isn't to check in with her dad or sister. It's to check in with that other Hawkeye. You know, the one not nearly as cool or suave and who always manages to find some sort of excuse to turn bandages into this year's fashion statement.

(If he ever even noticed that she was gone for the past couple of weeks. Because that's all it's been, hasn't it? A couple of weeks despite the fact that it had seemed much more like months. Time and dimension hopping: fun for everyone determined to keep to a linear timeline.)

Still, strange things happen in New York City. Often. Which is why, rather than freaking out, she only blinks when Clint's lobby disappears and is instead replaced with a completely unfamiliar setting. She places her hand on her hip and looks around. And smirks.

"I know I was gone for a few months saving the world and everything," Kate begins as she walks further in the room, not necessarily addressing anyone in particular but the room at large, "but c'mon, Clint. It wasn't that long. Definitely not long enough to build a bar in your building's lobby."

She hadn't even made it up to his apartment yet. Yeah, maybe she should have called before coming over and actually checked to see if he was home or patrolling. But surprise had sounded more fun at the time. Besides, after all that time travelling on Noh-Varr's ship, it felt good to be back on the back of her bike, weaving in and out of the New York traffic en route to Bed-Stuy.

Motorbike helmet tucked under one arm, Kate rests her bow on the ground as she takes in the room. Her purple leather jacket covers half of her normal spandex. Superhero or not, she's only human. And New York Decembers are chilly. Her bow and quiver rest across her back but she doesn't make any movement to grab either. So far, no sign of hostility from the natives. No reason to be hostile in return.

"Okay. Anyone want to fill me in on where I really am? Cause, Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore."
