Bruce sits in a booth, working on calculations on papers. On the table is a mass of papers, scribbled with neat handwritten equations. A small device, looking like a borg cube in miniature, sits, pulsing with green light, in the middle of the table.

"I am full of surprises, dear. Some might consider them bad, but I do not intend you no harm."

He cants his head.

"If you dont intend me harm, then I dont think your surpises would be bad ones. How much worse can it get than I turn into a huge green monster or a smaller grey monster who are both somewhat psychotic?"

"I am a vampire." Better tell it now.

He blinks.

he ponders this for a long moment.

"But, you mean me no harm and I take it you dont go around starting killing sprees as you arent the most wanted here... and that means you arent evil, or mean. You are a kind woman, Serena. and Whatever your condition, or your race, or... whatever vampirism is considered on your world, it is what you do with who you are that makes you good or bad, not the what itself."

he gently kisses her again.

"And so far, you are pretty damn good in my book."

She laughs... "Well, I do not have to kill when I feed... and yes, I do drink blood. But do not be fooled, Bruce... I am monster... not a rabid, mad one, but I am a really wicked monster..." And she kisses him again, just for teasing.

He blushes some.

"Hmmm. Well, I would love to hear about your life sometime when you feel like telling it. And I dont think I have much to fear anyway, in fact I should be warning you. Biting me, even playfully, would be bad for you. Even in this state, there is radiation in my blood."

He looks at her and gently brushes her hair with one hand.

"I dont... I dont want you to get hurt."

"I can scent it." She sniffs at his skin.

He shivers, because it tickles.

"It has hurt one person who I cared about. I dont want it hurting you too. And I have no idea what Gamma radiation would do to a vampire... or my blood with the shapeshifting gene in it."

he shivers but hugs her close.

"Other than that, I am not adverse to biting or nibbling."

he grins.

"I have fed from shpeshifters before, with different effects... But I am not eager for an experiemnt." She just gets comfortable against him.

He nods and hugs her close, shifting slightly so they can rest together.

"Mmm, this is comfy."

He murmurs it against her hair, closing his yes and just relaxing for a moment. She has that affect on him.

Serena rests against his chest, relaxed, letting Bruce relax too.

He just breathes in and holds her.

"You always make me feel good."

"Twice, until now..." A mischiveous smile to him.

He blushes. A little.

"Yes, well. Enough to make me crave your company when you are around, even if i do lose myself in books sometimes."

He shrugs somewhat abashedly.

Serena grins a bit, she was just teasing... settling closer to hi. "Still the same research?"

"Yes. Different aspects, but yes."

he smiles at her.

"I want to be sure of what I do and how I do it."

The vampire nods, glad he is serious about not being reckless.

He nods at the work.

"Itr mostly involves a lot of checking and rechecking, and making sure of figures, and tracking down any and all elements of it to be sure there is nothing new that I know of that can go wrong."

"Making sure it is a law, not a theory, and that the results can be replicated with safety."

He nods.

"Exactly. Most of this is very theoretical, but I do the best I can to push it to that point before I try it."

he smiles at her.

"Few understood that when I explained to them. I am impressed."

"I am not just a vampire and a with, dear. I am also an alchemist, apothecary, mathematician, and several related skills I did learn, also."

"Wow..."

he looks at her with more respect.

"Every moment I speak with you, you gain more of my respect, and find a new way to surprise me."

"When you have eternity ahead of you, and a passion for learning..." Of course, one studies, and learns.

he smiles.

"A lot of immortals I have encountered are not so forward thinking. I am glad you are."

One of his hands gently traces her cheek again. He loves the feel of that skin.

"Knowledge is never wasted." She leans into the touch.
