accidental video (backdated like a week!!)

[remake]

[ The video comes on with a loud crack; you've just been high-velocity butt-dialed, C&C. The whole screen is green and blurry, and hopefully none of you Cityzens have motion sickness because shortly after an undignified squeak, there's a booming roar and that's when the scrambling really begins. ]

Oh my god! Ohh my god, oh my god this was a bad idea! [ A giant green hand comes down out of the middle of nowhere, and Miles scurries away from it over one massive shoulder, and it's pretty clear by now to anyone that would recognize him that the new Spider-Man is wall-crawling uselessly all over The Hulk, trying to avoid being grabbed and Smashed. This (and more comical babbling) goes on for like two minutes before finally: ] Why do I, ah!, always do this?

And why am I talking to mysel-- urk!

[ The video abruptly stops bouncing around when Miles gets caught. Suddenly there's a giant puzzled Hulk face taking up the whole screen, sniffing a couple times and then letting out a big wuff of breath. ]

Uhhh. Hi?

[ Aand the feed cuts! Replies will ICly come in an hour or so after the events in Bruce's log here, so he has time to de-Hulk. ]

So-- so maybe you really don't know. [ a beat ] I mean, it just seems... [ lmfao useless shrug ]

[hulk]

Possible. [ But... He's doubting it. A lot. ]

[remake]

You don't like heroes, do you? [ HATING ON HIS SUPER COOL COSTUME LIKE A JERK BRUCE, DON'T THINK HE FORGOT ]

[hulk]

It's n- I haven't me- I didn't meet any since coming here, and. I mean, they're okay, it's just. I don't know. But it's not a not-liking thing.

[remake]

[ He frowns, for a few seconds, then tangentially: ] What's the survival rate on radioactive Spider-bites, do you think?

[hulk]

Well, I don't know any statistics on that kind of thing, it being very specific, and there's the question of how the spider got radioacti-

[ He almost gets distracted on the science. Almost. But then he goes and looks at Miles. ]

...Wait. Is th- Your whole spider-thing got started like-- With that?

[remake]

Um-- yeah. I mean, I think it is. There's not really any other explanation? [ He shrugs. He and Ganke are just 13, so neither of them could really understand it, and the only other person he could have asked was his uncle... ]

[hulk]

[ Staring. Then... ]

I don't know. ...Frankly, I don't know how I survived my radiation bombardment so.

[ And it kind of twists a bit at his gut, because he was supposedly the big pioneer in radioactivity and energy fields and just. What the hell good did that end up doing in the long run. ]

[remake]

Oh. [ He just looks down at his fingers for a little while. HE GETS LIKE THIS SOMETIMES SORRY BRUCE. ] I wonder how many people didn't. I mean. T- the spider's back had a 42 on it, so. It obviously wasn't the... first...

[hulk]

[ IT'S OKAY AWK BRO HE KNOWS THAT FEEL ]

...That doesn't mean that other people got bit, th- When you've got animal test trials of any kind of project like that, there's just. You always stock up on subjects. Between them just dying off in the process on top of needing a good pool to draw data from, so. I mean. Your world's-- It's the way it is. I'm sure there'd be, you know. More spider-people. So.

[remake]

There are. [ a beat ] I mean, at least one that I'd never even heard of, and-- and every other Universe has like 10 of us apiece, so.

[ NORMAN OSBORN IS LIKE THE FOR REAL BOOGEYMAN BRUCE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ]

[hulk]

[ YEP HE DOESN'T ]

I know that feeling. [ Hurrrrrrgh. ] There's apparently like... A half-dozen people all Hulked out in one of those things? I don't even--

[remake]

[ OH

MY





GOD BRUCE MILES IS JUST

STARING THERE ARE MORE HULKS??!!!!! ]

[hulk]

[ Nodding. ]

That was my initial reaction, yeah.
