One moment, he was in the lab, and the next, well, there he was. He was standing in the middle of a field, staring at a plant where his lab counter had once been. Shock swept over him, and his pulse began to pound, and Bruce stumbled backward, nearly jumping in surprise. Typically, he fell on his ass, then. Since he had joined the Avengers, he had seen a lot of things, but this was... uhm... what was this, anyway? Long distance teleportation? But why to a field? And a field located in... somewhere? Bruce glanced around, confused, seeing cars pass, and people going about their business, and none of them looking at the man dressed in a lab coat who had just fallen on his butt in a field in the middle of their midst.

His puzzlement ad sheer curiosity were so far, winning the war against his stress level and heart beat, which were both calling for the Other Guy to come out now. He glanced around for somewhere better, but seeing nothing and being ignored anyway, he sat down in the field and closed his eyes. With slow deep breaths, he pushed himself down into meditation, letting the surroundings fade away, and his mind fill with peace. The peace of anger. His mind, his heart, and his soul, seethed with rage. Rage ay all the things that plagued him. Rage at how many people sought to use him. Rage at all the things that happened to him against his will. Unending, uncomplicated, and unstoppable rage. The stress and the peace fought, and it was not a short battle, but eventually, the peace won.

With a deep breath, deeper than the others, he rose and dusted himself off, then started walking, looking for answers, and for some sort of clue as to what was going on.

Bruce gave her a bow and a wink. "Why, thank you." He smiled at her. "Well, if she were here, I would deal, I suppose, since she seems like your friend." He nodded. He already felt a touch of trust for this woman.

He blinked and nodded. "We'll see what happens. Perhaps we can work on it together." He would like that. He hadn't worked with a magic user before. He was sure he would learn a lot!

"Where do I go to get a room? And you have been an excellent help." His smile was warm, and he felt rather calm. He hoped this place would let him have some peace and quiet to deal with all of this.

Unable to help herself, Elphaba laughed a bit at the bow and wink. She wasn't used to such things, but there it was. "Galinda is my best friend. And really, it is best to just go with the flow. But you don't have to worry about that unless the Seal decides to bring her back here."

Working on it together. Well, there was something to that, Elphaba had to admit. She knew she needed to work more with others, perhaps this would be an opportunity? "I would like that if it comes to it." She smiled at him. There was a lot to be learned from working with others.

"Uh I think there's some place on the main floor when you go in where you can get that straightened out. Otherwise you can just take any apartment that's open? There should be a list saying who lives in what room somewhere. But here is where we get out of my comfort zone. I have never lived in the complex, and when I've been in it, I never quite paid attention to that part of it." She smiled a bit awkwardly and scratched the back of her head. "So I'm sorry to say you'll have to find out that part of it for yourself?"

"It's good to have friends, really." He smiled at her. "I have learned, in my life, that there are always possibilities." He wagged a finger at her. "Never give up, and so on."

He nodded to her, and he smiled at her. "Thank you, again. Seems I am thanking you a lot." He felt she was a very nice and very helpful person. And he was lucky to have run into her.

"No worries." He smiled at her again. He stuck out his hand as they reached the complex. "Thank you, Elphaba. You have made this arrival a lot less stressful than it could have been. You have given me a lot to think about, too." He smiled wider.

As he wagged his finger at her, Elphaba gave him a salute in response. "Yes, sir. No giving up. Got it." And well, wasn't that something she'd learned since being in this place? That anything could happen at any given time? And not to mention, the Seal had sent Elena home once and it had brought her back. Perhaps it would do the same with Galinda at some point.

"Perhaps you might be, but I don't mind." Rather she wasn't used to being thanked in such a manner. Yes her friends had said as much when she'd helped them, but everyone else? Not so much.

When he extended his hand, she reached out and shook it, returning his smile. "I am glad I was able to be of help. And a less stressful arrival is most certainly a good thing. I hope you settle in all right. I know it can take a little while to properly digest it all."

He shook her hand, and smiled, then nodded. "Thank you." He glanced at the building, and squared his shoulders. "No time like the present, I guess."

He started forward, moving away from her a little, almost tensing, as if he expected something bad to happen. and maybe somewhere deep inside he did. When he opened the door and stepped in, and nothing did, he felt tension slide away from him. Maybe, just maybe, this would be okay. Glancing back to wave, he headed in, to try to find his way, and a new beginning for a new world.
