Nowhere is a perfectly fine place to be.

Bruce wished he was still sleeping. He had managed to find a nice little place to stay in Rome, where he had managed to locate himself after the little incident in Spain. That wasn’t his fault! He had enjoyed a nice Italian dinner and then put himself to bed early.

The next morning, he was on a boat ride when the strange storm struck. Sweating, trying to remain calm, he tried to help get the boat back to shore, but when lightning struck, he found himself thrown into the water. His whole world seemed to explode, and he found himself abruptly on dry land, scrambling to try to find his bearings, even as a storm raged around him. He screamed as lightning seemed to slam into him again,. and then suddenly, the storm was gone. His clothing was a wreck, what remained of them was wet, and he was somewhere new.

As he looked around, he realized with a shock that he was not somewhere new, but instead, somewhere he knew. The island!

“Oh My God…” The shock, the strangeness, and the stress of it all seemed to seize at him and he sank to his knees fighting to maintain control as he felt the Hulk try to once more manifest.

Cuddy had been fortunate enough to not be struck by the 'lightening'. She ducked into one of the buildings when the storm started, prepared to stay inside until it was over. She stepped back outside when she heard a scream and walked quickly towards its source. Someone could be hurt and in need of her help. When she found Bruce, she made the assumption that he was the same Dr. Banner she knew from the town clinic and hospital. She walked closer and bent slightly, looking him over with concern etched on her face. "Dr. Banner, It's me, Dr. Cuddy. Are you alright? What happened?"

Bruce groaned as he looked up an squinted, then shook his head. "I don't, ugh... think I am the man you think I am." He growled low as he clenched his fits to keep control. Inside his mind, he concentrated, not trying, like he use to, to force the rage away, but instead, now, trying to ride it, to surf it, to to speak.

"Just arrived here. Was here a long time ago."

	"You strongly resemble someone I know. If you've been here before, you probably know that can happen here." Cuddy explained, hearing the growl in his voice and watching as his fists clenched and eyes squinted, thinking it could all be a response to pain. "Are you alright? I'm a medical doctor; I can help."

	"I...ng, do." He slowly found himself gaining control, but knew he was still close, very close, to that edge. Only the lack of pain from the strike and the curiosity as to why that was allowed him to hold on. "I will be okay. If I can keep the Other Guy from visiting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I see." Cuddy thought about taking a few steps back, but from what little she knew about the other guy, that wouldn't help much if he did lose control. "So you are a Dr. Banner, just not the one I know? Is there anything I can do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

":Just... give me a few minutes." Bruce slid to a more comfortable sitting position, reaching down deep for every meditation trick he knew. Slowly, slowly, his pulsed calmed, his body stopped trembling, and the stress of the strike faded.

"O-okay." He slowly blew out a long breath of air and looked at the woman in front of him. "Sorry about that. And yes, I am Doctor Bruce Banner. I was here a long time ago, but snatched away." he slowly relaxed, and then stuck out one hand to her, shyly, pushing his nervousness down.
