Who: Bruce Banner (with Morgan Stark) and Dyson Thornwood What: Matchup Where: Grocery Store When: This afternoon Warnings: unlikely Status: closed/in progress
Since Pepper was stuck at work, Bruce went to pick up Morgan after school and decided to swing by the grocery store on the way home so he could grab a few things he needed to make dinner. So far, the whole living together thing was going surprisingly well, though he was afraid to voice that thought for fear the dome would do something to change that. Bruce never expected that he'd have this sort of easy domesticity in his life and he found he was really enjoying it.
Well, mostly enjoying it. He was new to this whole parenting thing and didn't realize that taking a child to a grocery store on the day after Halloween was a good idea because all the candy was half off. Despite having gotten quite a decent haul the night before, Morgan was begging him to buy more and he was trying to logic a six year old. It certainly didn't help that the specter of her father was following them around with his own delightful running commentary about Bruce's choices. Tony's ghostly presence was unnerving, especially since both he and Pepper were seeing the man, but not the same one. Which meant two Tonys.
Bruce was definitely losing the battle and his eyes darted around, wondering if there was a more experienced parent around who might take pity on him.
