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.

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.

"Very true."

It is a murmur as he leans in to kiss her again, then nods, smiling.

"I do my best to be responsible. I dont want to cause any more accidents, and the technology I created has been used for far too much damage since it was made."

"Humanity has a bad habit of using knowledge for destruction." She reaches up, and starts massaging his shoulders.

He shivers.

"You have a nice touch."

And he nods.

"That it does. Most of the world has never seen the pattern in the Hulk's travels or noticed how many places he trashed just happened to contain things made with or using my technology..."

"And it hurts you... that your creation is being used that way."

He closes his eyes and then nods.

"Yeah. I was young, foolish, and had a lot of stars in my eyes,. and a lot of anger in my heart. Before I knew it, my invention was in the hands of the military, and then in the hands of criminals... and I was the Hulk."

He just breathes for a long moment.

"You hands feel good..."

"I learned from a master who had visited the distant lands of Cathay. I have a reasonable knowledge of medicine as well." She continues to massage.

He shivers and relaxes, well, most of him, as she continues.

He smiles.

"Nice. I appreciate benefitting from it... it feels good..."

"I am glad to be of assitance, Bruce." Teasing again. Pondering if his head would explode if she did straddle his lap...

He blushes.

That would depend on which head you were talking about, really. But he would definitely boggle.

"You are not assistance, Serena. You are beauty."
