Tony, Bruce, I think we're going to have a few science experiments. Meet me downstairs in an hour.


[Private Text to Natasha]

If you're not going to respond, at least text me to tell me you're okay.

If you've recovered, we need to discuss the ramifications of the last few days. What's the protocol for murders committed in that state? Theft? Property damage?

Regardless of recovery, there were certainly assaults with deadly weapons. We lost officers to more than just a sudden onset of second childhood.

The calls haven't started yet, but they will soon. What do we tell people?

To any who were hurt by my actions this past week, please know that I am sorry. I did what had to be done to ensure that more people weren't harmed.

... I would be more than all right with nothing like the trouble stirred up this last week ever occurring again.

So. Pirates. Really?
