Bruce rubbed his chest, idly remembering his glasses in one pocket and the sonic probe in the other. Hmm. He watched her and smiled a little. She seemed likely to be well-thinking, the way she talked, and he liked her attitude already.
"Sounds like this place is trying to give my world a run for it's money in the doing of the weird things. We just weathered an interdimensional and interplanetary invasion about six months or so ago. It was... interesting." He wondered what drew others here, and why the rift would grab them from, he assumed, different places, and maybe different times? Yes, that would make sense. The way she spoke the date, and her look at him. Hmmmm. Yes, a spatial and temporal randomized portal? That was bad news.
He snapped his attention back to her as she continued to speak. His eyes were warm and full of compassion as he listened to her, fixed on hers to understand her words. "Ah, good old mythology. Always fun. Hmmm. So... is there a central place? A command center, or a place where people gather? I think I will probably need to set up nearby there. And I'll need a lab if I am going to get people back home." He spoke with confidence and with curiosity.
Her words at the end, made him blush as well. With a lopsided smile he sketched her a bow. "I too, forget my manners. I'm sorry. Not used to introducing myself anymore. I'm Doctor Bruce Banner. It's a pleasure to meet you, Elphaba."
Inside, he was fighting a battle against stress levels and against his darker half. This whole thing, this whole event and happening was making him shiver deep down, making him unsure, and he wanted, he needed, to stay in control. He did not want to, as they said, 'Hulk out'. Not here, and not now.
