I go by Blue, Demon or BD. Or even Hey You if it's clear enough that you're talking to me. XD I prefer Blue or Blue Demon. And no, I didn't choose "Blue" because I'm sad. It's my favorite color. (And now you know.)

Also, I just discovered DMC and now I'm Dante trash.

Banner shrugged off his jacket and draped it over a dilapidated chair. The sun was setting outside, not that you could tell from the inside. Here it was already dark. There were no windows in the small building. (Probably closer to a shed.) There were three rooms. One small "living room", a kitchen, and a bedroom. For the seven people it was small and crowded. In fact it would have been crowded with two. However it was safe. There were no electronics, apart from what Howard had with him, which was the Iron Man suit. That was propped in the corner of the living room. It blended in well for the most part. If anyone broke in the protocols would initiate and it'd take care of whatever threats the Hulk couldn't.

The six children under Bruce's care were in the back bedroom. The eldest was the daughter of Natasha and Barton. Her name was Natalie, a nickname of her mother's. Natalie's full name was Natalie Romana Barton. Sometimes she went by Nat, other times she went by Roma. It was like her accents, they varied month by month. At least she never took to talking to them in different languages. He had helped her pick up where her parents left off. When it came to parents Natalie had the most stars in her eyes. She was one of the few who truly remembered her parents. And she also remembered how they died.

Ultron. Hank Pymm, a super scientist like Tony Stark, had created a robot to help mankind. Instead it had enslaved it. It had rebelled and killed all of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Well, all but one. So far the Hulk was still indestructible. Even Wolverine couldn't boast as much. It was both a blessing and a curse. When he had awoken as Banner he knew that all his friends were dead. So he had run, like he always did. But he didn't run away, not then. No, he ran back to New York and grabbed the children of his friends. Natalie had seen the news before the world went to hell and grabbed everyone and hid. She was good like that, a mother hen. Even though she was seven. It still amazed Bruce sometimes. It was the only reason why they all survived because the Avenger's Tower sure didn't.

Bruce stretched a little in the confined space. The children in the next room were still talking in low sounds. Even though they were in the middle of a forest they still had to hide. Banner hefted the canvas bag he was carrying. In it was dinner, freshly caught. They'd cook it a low lying stove that was smokeless. The man moved to the kitchen feeling his years. He was forty nine this year. And he was beginning to wonder if Ultron was playing with them. A waiting game. Because while he was indestructible he wasn't immortal. One day age would catch up to him. The only hope he had was that the children would be able to take care of themselves by that point. He knew they'd be the ones to take on Ultron, but after raising them for these twelve years he wished they could go on hiding forever. But they wouldn't and neither could he.

He deposited the food into the oven and got it going. He heard one of the children come up behind him. It had been tasking for Banner in the early days to keep control of the Hulk whenever he got too angry. And the kids did push his buttons, even if most of the time they didn't mean it. Now he was the epitome of self control. Even if it was going to be tested in a few moments.

"Yes Nat?" Bruce asked not even looking up. He knew from experience that Natalie would try to sneak up on him. However when he caught her all she'd do was smile.

"We have a problem." Her somber voice stopped Bruce in his tracks. He turned slowly to the young woman behind him. She was wearing camouflage she had picked up on one of their runs. The pants were too big, the shirt was torn, but it was good enough for them. When he didn't respond quick enough she continued. "We can't find Matt." Her voice broke on the last word. Nat loved her little brother more than anything else in the world. He was her anchor.

"When?" Bruce nearly croaked out.

Nat shook her head. "No one remembers seeing him for the past hour." She looked a little lost. "But no one heard him leave. Howard even checked the armor next to the door and there was no recordings of him leaving." She rubbed her hands over her face. "We were just about to check outside when you came back."

Bruce almost mimicked Natalie's gesture. He could feel the Hulk stirring, but he shoved him down. "Alright. Alright." He looked down at the oven. Looks like dinner would wait. He closed the door and stepped into the living room past Natalie. By this time everyone had gathered around. Everyone looked worried. From Howard to Terra and Odin. And they were all looking at him.

Munk said Great to see a post, BD! Glad we haven't lost you ;)

Nope, I'm in this for the long haul. :) Though I'm sure the vast majority of my partners are feeling the same sentiment right now. Lol.
Open for business.
Shigetoshi watched Tatsuki compose himself. Or as best as he could. He still looked sad, but he tried to smile. Perhaps, the innkeeper thought, it would have been better not to say anything. But what was done was done, and there was no changing that. When the other man gestured at the food and remained silent Shigetoshi thought it was a cue for him to eat and leave him alone. Willing to do one of those things, Shigetoshi took up his own chopsticks and carefully sampled the wares. While he did so he kept a close eye on the guest as he looked around the room. Shigetoshi was beginning to get the feeling that whatever was troubling the man wasn't anything Shigetoshi did. The thought caused mixed feelings. Relief, that it probably wasn't his fault. But regret too. Because it would have been so much easier to fix.

Shigetoshi realized between one blink and the next that the young guest had moved in closer. Shigetoshi nearly jumped when Tatsuki began to talk in a low voice. Low enough that he had to lean further in to hear. The words made sense, but then again, they didn't. The young Asian couldn't help the frown that pulled on his lips. But Tatsuki didn't seem to notice between his concentration on the food and on the other patrons. When the other's eyes did a funny flash, Shigetoshi didn't notice it, or ignored it because it couldn't have possibly happened.

When Tatsuki turned finally to look at Shigetoshi, the young man wished Tatsuki would turn away again. There was something there, but Shigetoshi wasn't ready to accept it, or even think about it. Shigetoshi turned away first and looks down at the utensils in his hand. He swallows as Tatsuki finally falls quiet. However the words still burned in his ears, unerasable. Was this young man next to him some kind of... dare he say it? Shigetoshi pressed his lips together.

"The meal you've made is very tasty." Shigetoshi said as he gathered the courage to look back at Tatsuki, who was eating still. Then his gaze drifted to the others. None of them seemed to notice anything off. Which was good. And they too were enjoying the food. "And it looks like everyone else is too." He smiled, even if it felt rather forced. Shigetoshi knew he was avoiding the topic, but he didn't know what to do. After all his father had drilled into him that the comfort of his guest came first and he should do everything to ensure they were in fact comfortable. In this case, if it was normal, he's listen to anything Tatsuki had to say.

But the case wasn't normal. Shigetoshi wasn't even sure if this young man wasn't a... Shigetoshi couldn't even think the thought, He placed down the chopsticks and looks back at Tatsuki. "I can listen." The young man shurgged as he dropped his gaze and straightened one of the chopsticks.
Hey. :) A new guy. Sweet.

And I finally got around to posting. *Gah*
Lei Ne had set off a round of brainstorming. She listened, but not with any real interest. It wasn't her area. She knew she had to know what everyone else was doing, if only for insurance purposes, but she didn't have to have the absolute lowdown. When Thorin complemented her she could help but look a little bit pleased. And if she added in a little blush for modesty's sake, who was to know? Despite the little bit of preening, mental and other wise, Lei Ne was still focused at her task. When the mage was brought up, the Asian sighed.

Lei Ne hadn't minded Old Soul. He was rather charming in a boyish way. It was a pity he wasn't here. Mainly because that meant he was either dead or probably being hunted down. Then again, those were risks you ran as a runner. Lei Ne sighed again as everyone seemed to agree with the suggestion of a disposable mage. Not that Lei Ne was a saint or anything, but going out to kill someone? That was even out of her purview. So she was glad when Red rejected the idea. Red had somehow become leader of this defacto group. Something Lei Ne didn't mind.

The pretty Asian listened to Red as the woman agreed to get her a list of employees. Though she was partially distracted by Thorin as he stood, shuffled away and disappeared into the adjacent room. Well, not completely, the red glow of a smoke gave him away, highlighting his eyes as he stared at her. Daring her to do anything. A corner of her mouth lifted into a crocked smile, but she failed to rise to the challenge. She turned her attention back to Red.

"That's okay. As long as I get it soon." Lei Ne shifted back in her chair finally settling in. The difference was small, but if you knew what you were looking for you'd see it. A deliberate message. I trust you. (False, but hey, she wasn't known for her honesty anyways. Right?)
