Waking up initially wasn't so bad. The bed was actually quite comfortable though it was a little colder than he remembered when he had fallen asleep. There was no hint of motion, no steady rocking that unnerved and comforted him both at the same time. Another thing to be grateful for. Ship and gigantic green monsters were not a suitable mixture in any dosage and he was glad he no longer could endanger the lives of those in close proximity. However, Bruce did recall saving a life and there not being any danger. It was a curious thought, something to dwell upon more later.
For now his attention was drawn else ware. It seemed he was in a smal room, something similar to what his own quarters had looked like in college. The bed was smaller but comfortable, there were fitted sheets in a neutral color. Further examination of the room Bruce noticed a desk with a briefcase on it, a laminated ID badge and a small stack of papers. Curious. A collegiate sports pennant clung to one of the walls. A small television was settled in a nook on a not-very-sturdy looking entertainment type center. A small kitchen boardered the living space divided only by a small countertop lined with linoleum. He guessed the kitchen would have a microwave but probably nothing else. Maybe a dishwasher. It wasn't really an apartment per say, but it was. It was on campus near the student dorms, but reserved strictly for faculty.
Sliding out of his bed, Bruce noticed the simple closet on the opposite side of the room. Had he a uniform it would have greeted him with its presence amidst his clothes. Lucky he didn't. Instead he found both professional and casual attire, things he would have chosen for himself had he been given the option. After a shower, he was dressed casual in a long sleeved, buttoned down pastel blue shirt that he left open at the throat. Foregoing the tie, Bruce opted for a cardigan with a deep V-neck, rolling the sleeves up to his elbows. The slacks were the same color as the cardigan, and the shoes on his feet were comfortable and meant for a lot of walking and standing.
Perusing the desk, Bruce found himself Dean of the Science Department, teaching a few classes of Advanced Physics. His forte. His heart was racing. Staring dumbly at the lanyard and ID badge, Bruce couldn't believe what he was seeing. They wanted him to teach physicis? To who? Aliens?
A glance out of the window proved his theory about being on a campus. The quad and corridors crawled with eager students, some moving in couples, some in flocks and some on their own. Teens and twenty-something's of all types could be seen. This was some kind of a joke. Right?
And where was Natasha?
Further inspection of the desk rendered him a cell phone, and a few other things. At least this wasn't a ship. It was better, more normal. He just hoped that it would stay that way. For the sake of the campus.
He needed to find Nat and quick. So on the turn of a heel Bruce left the apartment and went to search for the red-head, hoping she was close by. Hoping she was still there at all.
