[The man on the screen looks utterly exhausted. Haggard might even be apt considering the greyish pallor of his skin under his dark stubble and the even darker circles under his eyes. When the video jostles in his hold for a moment, it displays his bare chest before coming up to his face. He looks like he tried to wash off some combination of mud, sand, and various other things best not examined too closely and didn't do too great a job of it. Despite that, he tries for a tired smile and a finger taps the screen before withdrawing.]

First off, I'd like to say that Tony Stark makes the world's most durable phone. I'd do a testimonial commercial, but that might be in bad taste.

Second, I've read some of the information available and I think you'll understand it's not the easiest thing to swallow, but I'm going with it as a working theory for now. Don't ask why, it's a long story.

Third... [He trails off and turns his head away from the camera before looking back at it] I don't know what the third is, let's say I want to issue a blanket apology and leave it at that.

[ooc: The Hulk ended up getting stuck outside at sundown and fought (pounding and getting pounded on) all night. Between that and a chitauri invasion, I figure Bruce is feeling a little run down.]

I think I'll stick with Deadpool unless you have a real name. It's not like I go around, "Hey, Iron Man, can you pass me a wrench?"

Sounds good to me.

[He does have a real name, just doesn't throw it out there as often]

So if I say, "Hey Deadpool, can you bake me some mean muffins?"

Then I'll be all like "Well shit son, I can bake you some mean muffins, be prepared for deliciousness to invade your face!"

[It feels good to laugh and he doesn't do it often enough.]

Hey Deadpool, can you bake me some mean muffins?

Well shit son, I can bake you some mean muffins, be prepared for deliciousness to invade your face!

[He is willing to humour you, your life is also pretty crappy]

Once I get settled I'm going to take you up on that. Since the universal consensus is that I don't have any choice about getting settled other than going out into the Darkness, and that's not going to work for me.

It is a good workout though. Great way to keep the combat skills sharp.

I'll leave that to the professionals. Which... you are?

Bounty Hunter, security, mercenary, former black ops. Fought all sorts of people.

That sounds like more excitement than I'm looking for. Go, stab, slash, guard, turn, parry, dodge, spin...

I do all those things, though shooting is most assuredly part of the list.

And then bake muffins. I can see that you're a renaissance man.

Eh, you got to do something if work is scarce, or what have you.

I guess you could say I do volunteer work. [And he isn't going to ask about the other Bruce, no matter how curious he is.] Baking might make me more friends.

Yeah, the hero stint or whatever doesn't pay. I'd look for something that brings in a little more green... no pun intended.

[That would have been a really bad one]

Only if you are good at it.

[It was bad anyway, but at least Deadpool didn't suggest getting a job as a wrecking ball.]

Know anyone who needs an experienced bottling machine repairman?

Oddly specific, and no. Never did much work in the industrial sector.

It was a shot in the dark. I'd throw my CV out to troll for something, but I'm not sure I'd like who'd bite from what I've been hearing about the corporations. Who else is going to hire a freelance biochemist and physicist?

I dunno, you could probably get a job at the university. There is one which is neutral, ultimately do what you gotta do.

I can't decide if the mask makes that advice incongruous or perfectly congruous.

[He shrugs]

Take it however you'd like, all I know is being at least somewhat comfortable in living space is better then scraping by on peanuts.

[Speaking to the guy who occasionally wakes up somewhere completely else with nothing but his pants - if he's lucky.]

I'll take it as sage advice. I'll also look into the university, thanks.
