He was even more annoyed that when everyone had left to deal with Mesmero, his father had basically decided to stick around at the mansion. Probably to keep an eye on him he suspected, but that was the main thing that bugged him, he glanced over towards where Carolina was still, glad at least somewhat that he wasn't the only one stuck at the mansion still.

        Carolina laid on the bed she hadn't gotten to much sleep despite everything that had happened, her head was still hurting a lot and every time she did try and fall asleep she would get dizzy or nauseous. She was on her phone a little bit as she had a small drawing app on there and was just doodling for now. She really wanted to get out of the bed and try to help with Mesmero, she stopped for a moment and turned to look at Lance and smiled a bit. [color=cyan]"How are you holding up?"[/color] Carolina finally asked. 

	[color=yellow]"I'm alright... Bit annoyed being stuck here... How are you doing?"[/color] Lance asked her in response.

         [color=cyan]"I feel like my head is still in a meat grinder, and I cant really sleep at all."[/color] Carolina answered and shrugged a little bit as well and sighed a little bit.

	[color=yellow]"...I know that sort of feeling... At least the part about the head in the meat grinder,"[/color] Lance said, before he moved his arm slightly from where it had been as he tried to sit up, but he was finding it really difficult to move his arm to the point where he could get up. It was really weird to him, but he couldn't really focus enough to figure out why.

        Carolina tucked a few strands of hair out of her face, luckily her faces wasn't covered in blood anymore and looked down at what she had been drawing a bit then over towards Lance. [color=cyan]"It's the second time I got a really bad head injury really.. Try and not move your head to quickly."[/color] Carolina said softly and looked back towards Lance. [color=cyan]"So, what do you want to talk about?"[/color]

	[color=yellow]"...Anything works really... There isn't really much to do while we sit here... I also know about the whole don't move your head too quickly... It does tend to make the world spin, a lot..."[/color]

        Carolina started to think for a moment, she thought about asking about his father but seeing their interactions earlier and decided to not ask. [color=cyan]"We could try playing a game or something instead?"[/color] She offered holding out her phone.

	[color=yellow]"...I'll be honest Carolina, I don't think my hands would cooperate enough for me to be able to play any sort of game on a phone..."[/color] he said, as he found it difficult to really get his hand and arm to move in anyway at the moment, so he didn't think that sort of thing would be a good thing for him to try and do at the moment.

        Carolina looked towards Lance's arm for a moment, and nodded slightly as she tried to think of something else to do in the meantime she was pretty bored. [color=cyan]"Well, we could play Marry, Fuck or Kill? You don't have to use your hands for anything to play that."[/color]

	[color=yellow]"...I would prefer to not play that game... I never cared much for any sort of game like that... They are kind of boring in my opinion if you ask me..."[/color] he muttered. Those sorts of things just didn't interest him at all, and he usually found them boring. He never understood what was the appeal of them, and Guin tended to like playing those games on occasion, but he usually opted out whenever possible.

        Carolina looked down and nodded slightly, as she tried to think of something else to do in the meantime and rested her head back down on the bed. Games like that she always did have fun playing, but she guessed it wasn't for everyone and sighed a little bit as she looked back over towards him. [color=cyan]"Well, are there any cute girls you like?"[/color]

	[color=yellow]"...Um... Not really sure..."[/color] he muttered, looking away now. He didn't really want to talk about that sort of thing either, especially considering last he checked he technically had a date or something planned with Annie, which would be interesting probably to say the least. That of course assuming he gets to leave the dumb medical area any time soon.

        [color=cyan]"C'mon you have to think Annie is pretty cute."[/color] Carolina said, as she looked over towards him and laughed a little bit she really hoped that they would be discharged as soon as possible as well. She didn't want to spend more time than what is needed either she wanted to get out, her phone then slipped out of her hand as it fell down onto the floor.

	[color=yellow]"Are we really having this sort of conversation right now?"[/color] he asked with a slight laugh. Though he did not want to talk about this sort of thing when his dad could probably walk in at any moment. That was definitely not something he wanted to happen at all. He knew that the day before he hadn't exactly been acting the best, knowing that attacking his father in the middle of the medical area was bad, but he hadn't been able to help it. Almost like his anger had been getting the better of him and had caused him to ignore any sort of consequences.

	The universe seemed obliged to make Lance's paranoia warranted. [color=8dc73f]"...I thought you had a thing for Guin? What happened to Tony and I's dream of a super genius baby?"[/color]

        [color=cyan]"Hey, we have to have something to talk about. And you didn't specify what we could talk about."[/color] Carolina said with a slight laugh as she looked down over at the floor as her attention turned towards Bruce for a moment. She rubbed her arm a little bit feeling a little bit weird talking to him, and mentioning Guin as well. [color=cyan]"I think she's pretty much in love with Pietro though."[/color]

	[color=yellow]"...I got over that a little while ago..."[/color] Lance mumbled, not too thrilled that he was standing there talking.

	[color=f7941d]"Also gave up that slight dream of mine a bit ago too, you really need to pay attention and keep up with things Banner,"[/color] Stark's voice said as he came into the room as well.

	[color=8dc73f]"Yeah, well you giving up on a dream is hardly surprising, Tony,"[/color] Banner teased him with a slight smile. He wanted his son to be happy and he was disappointed that he hadn't ended up getting the girl that he wanted - especially since he and Tony had maybe picked out the names for their super genius babies one evening while drinking and playing video games. 

         Carolina looked between both Tony and Bruce as the two of them spoke and giggled a little bit as the two of them spoke, her attention turned back towards Lance getting a feeling he was a bit uncomfortable talking about girls in front of both Tony and his father as well. [color=cyan]"So, any kind of video games that you are looking forward to?"[/color] Carolina asked, figuring that it would be a better subject to talk about now.

	[color=yellow]"Not really,"[/color] Lance said with a slight shrug, glad to have the subject changing. That definitely was not a conversation that he wanted to be having anywhere near his dad right now. He was not too thrilled with his luck at the fact that his father had walked in right when they were having a conversation about girls.

	[color=f7941d]"Ouch, that one hurt,"[/color] Tony said, faking a slightly wounded expression towards Banner.

	[color=8dc73f]"Anyways... You kids hungry or anything?"[/color] Banner asked. 

        Carolina started to think for a moment what she could have for something to eat and thought about pizza, but then she shook her head slightly. She puked out pizza in the elevator earlier. [color=cyan]"McDonalds or something?"[/color] Carolina asked.

	[color=yellow]"Anything really works for me,"[/color] Lance muttered in response, it wasn't just that he didn't care, he didn't want to really talk with his dad at all. That probably wasn't a good thing, and he knew that his relationship with his father was in tatters and likely would never be fixed. A small part of him wanted to fix things, but he wasn't going to admit it, and definitely not talk to his dad about any of this.

	Tony noticed that there was a slight awkward silence in the room now, and he glanced over at Carolina with a smile. [color=f7941d]"I think we can manage to get you some McDonalds pretty easily."[/color]

	[color=8dc73f]"I can go get it,"[/color] Banner said, moving to leave the room. He glanced back at Lance and said something he instantly regretted. [color=8dc73f]"I don't need to be a mutant to tell when I'm not wanted,"[/color] he said, before leaving to go get the kids some chicken nuggets. 

         Carolina watched as Banner turned around and left, biting her bottom lip for a moment and looked towards Tony and then Lance as well feeling a little bit uncomfortable. [color=cyan]"He's not going to hulk out on me or anyone right now right?"[/color] Carolina asked.

	[color=f7941d]"Don't worry, he won't... Anyway see you both later,"[/color] Tony said, before he followed Banner out of the room.

	[color=yellow]"...I didn't mean to do that..."[/color] Lance said softly, feeling really really bad about that. He couldn't even really remember the last time that they had talked in a normal tone that wasn't yelling. [color=yellow]"...Is it sad that I don't remember the last time we had a normal non-yelling conversation?"[/color] he asked Carolina, looking over at her.

        [color=cyan]"He could have ordered off of Uber Eats App or something."[/color] Carolina said, as she nodded slightly and watched as Tony walked off as well leaving just her and Lance again. She turned her attention towards Lance and thought for a moment, she really didn't know what had caused a lot of their arguments. [color=cyan]"I mean, maybe I don't know the history between you and your father did he do something really unforgivable?"[/color]

	[color=yellow]"...Not really... Truth is I didn't know who my dad was until that incident with Loki and the Avengers in New York... At first things were great, then well... Things went downhill in high school... I still went by my mother's last name, actually that technically is my last name and not Banner... I might have been more than just a little bit bullied once people found out that he was my father... Ended up in the nurse's office more than once because of that... Had no friends really either because people expected me to freak out, to turn green like him..."[/color] Lance admitted, and he was a bit surprised at this. These sorts of things were generally only stuff he talked with Guin about, so he was a bit surprised that he was finding himself talking to anyone else about this.

        Carolina listened to Lance as he started to go in a little bit more depth to what his problems were with his dad, and she was pretty surprised that he didn't shut her out either. Carolina looked down a bit, she didn't have to many bullies to deal with except for maybe Beth which. [color=cyan]"I haven't had to deal with to many bullies, at least in the past. I kind of get the feeling that he is an overbearing parent you two can try and talk it out at some point?"[/color]

	[color=yellow]"That's just it, I don't even know if we can fix the problems between us anymore... Especially considering the major anger issues we both have... Got to the point where I got afraid of getting into an argument with him and instead I just shut him out instead to not risk it... Since we tend to get into shouting matches... A lot..."[/color]

        [color=cyan]"Try not shutting him out, from my experience shutting people out never really turns out to good for anyone. I mean it's really up to you if you want to be more open to him.."[/color]

	[color=yellow]"...I think that might end badly... Not too sure that would work out..."[/color]

        [color=cyan]"You never know until you try though really. I could try and help maybe?"[/color]

	[color=yellow]"...Maybe..."[/color]

        [color=cyan]"And if he hulks out I can possess him, and get him to calm down as well to."[/color] Carolina said as she scratched a little bit at the head bandage feeling an itch coming on and sighed slightly. [color=cyan]"I really hate head bandages they really itch and are uncomfortable."[/color]

	[color=yellow]"...You wouldn't be able to, the Hulk is immune to any sort of telepathic people, including astral projections and stuff like that I'm pretty sure... And I definitely agree with the bandages being uncomfortable..."[/color]

        [color=cyan]"Well then that's going to be hard then."[/color] Carolina looked up at the ceiling as she stopped itching and started to get a little bit bored again now. [color=cyan]"So, do you want to go out to the movies with Annie?"[/color]

	[color=yellow]"Uh, yeah..."[/color] he said nodding his head slightly at that. He decided not to mention the fact that it was Guin who had stolen his phone to message Annie asking her out and it wasn't actually him. Though he had told Guin no matter what he'd go, so he was willing to do go. It might be a little weird, not to mention he'd never actually really been on a date with anyone before.

        [color=cyan]"It will be a lot of fun."[/color] Carolina said towards Lance and smiled towards him, she remembered that Annie had shown her the text the night before everything had happened as well. [color=cyan]"Just, you know be yourself and stuff like that to."[/color]

	[color=yellow]"If you say so..."[/color]
