Future
The Hulk.

Her baby had fought the Hulk yesterday.

Yes, he was an eighteen-year-old sun god. Hush.

Vernique knocked on the door. "Solver, sweetie?"

	Solver hears the knocking, and moves to let her in. The sun lamps are turned way up, so the room is extra warm and bright. Otherwise, he shows no signs of trouble from the fight - though that may give away plenty. "Hi, Mom." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Vernique squints a little as she comes in. "Doing okay? Nobody's expecting you to get up and do any avenging tomorrow, you know. There are other Avengers." Even if the other kids didn't tend to specialize in the same things Avengers used to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Actually, kind of looking forward to getting back out there." he replies genuinely. "I'm going fine though. It really is ok... I know you worry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm. I knew I was making a mistake, never doing anything to stunt your work ethic," Vernique says, her tone light, but ... only mostly joking. "I do worry. But I'm also very proud of you. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He knows she's not entirely joking, but smiles anyway. "You've always done right by me. Though, I did want to see if I could get some help with some image consulting. After that fight yesterday, some of the media outlets want a comment, and to make sure that the property damage will be handled. I know Damage Control's suits could handle it, but they've sent a request that I at least make an appearance."

	Vernique thinks. "Don't wear one of your good suits," she says as she goes to open up his closet, kind of glad for the business with all she's got on her mind. "Now, I want you to pick what you're more comfortable with," she says as she gets a very nice and presentable but relatively informal blue shirt and dark pants out of the closet. "This, or your costume." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd normally go with my costume, but it'd need to be cleaned and repaired ahead of things tomorrow. I can do a suit instead, but wanted your input." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vernique nodded. "Makes sense. Just nothing too fancy; gives the wrong impression for the circumstance." A slight sigh. "It's all very well that the day was saved and everything's under control, but you don't need to be everyone's guardian angel with not a hair out of place two days later when the rubble's still being cleared. I don't know if it makes sense or not, but you know me and tact. You've put up with enough conversations about subtlety..."

	He nods, moving to sit down on the edge of his bed. "I know. But right after this kind of thing is also when a lot of our enemies tend to look for signs of weakness. This is the worst time to disappear, or treat it like I did one big thing, now its break time. I'll find some downtime soon... promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, you're very clever, and you make good choices." A breath. "And speaking of choices, I now you've heard me talk more than you should have had to about yours, and about choreography." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lastscion 2014-01-10 05:17 am UTC (link)
	He shakes his head. "Not more than I should. I'm part human too. Earth is every bit as much part of my home, and my protectorate, as Asgard or any realm. You've helped me keep that in mind. Its the reason I have a choice at all, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vernique smiles warmly. "Thank you, sweetie. It really means a lot to me that you get it."

"...But I need to ask you for a really weird favor. Maybe you understand this already; you might get it more than I do, but you might not have heard all the same things I have over the years and ... just in case. You did exactly the right thing yesterday handling the Hulk, and of course, you're the absolute best for any Hulk-related problems." Breath. "On Earth." She looks a little sheepish. "Please don't ever try to handle him if he ends up in Asgard for one of his Little Moments ... okay?"

	He blinks a couple times, considering that. Then a nod. "Well... ok. It sounds like you know something I don't know. I think I can handle that. Thankfully, there's other people in Asgard for that sort of emergency." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2014-01-10 05:31 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Vernique says, throat a little tight. "There are. And I don't want you getting between them and doing something stupid. Some people wouldn't be able to handle a game-changer. Boy do I hate saying that." The things we do for love. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There are a lot of game changing moments. I suspect, if that's going on, and I'm there, that there will be plenty of other things going on anyway. I promise to remember though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you, sweetie." Vernique cheats a little to get her son into forehead-kissing range. "The only other thing I'm going to keep asking you not to do is date girls in Tacky Flamingo lipstick." (Reply to this)(Parent)
