Human Torch has posed:
BAM!

The rooftop of the Freedom Plaza has been..let's just say "Pimped Out."

The first thing you see exiting the elevator is a Bar. It takes up about ten feet and has beer taps with everything liquor wise behind the the android bartender. Just beyound the bar there are afew beach chairs and a said pit, made of course by the youngest of the group.

Just beyound that is a pool that is almost fairly small. There mostly for its Jacuzzi functions. However next to the pool is a massage table and THEN even a sun tanning post.

If you happen to look to your left there is an auqarium with many types of tropicla fish and then beyond that are drapes a scaffolding with a sign that says 'Hardhat area'

Then there is J Storm. He is laying on the tanning table sipping a drink with headphones in bouncing his head to the beats."

Welcome to the Roof!

Hulk has posed:
Bruce Banner and Johnny Storm could not be more different if you put a metaphorical mirror in front of each.

Johnny is a social monster who embraced his reputation and his powers (mostly), Bruce is infamous for his lack of control over his alter ego. Johnny can precisely control and has no power scaling problems. The Hulk is the embodiment of out of control rage monster that only gets worse as his power builds. It's really staggering how badly they contrast to each other...

And yet, Bruce could not get ahold of Reed for this meeting, and Johnny was available. So, here we are.

Coming in with non-descript jeans, black shirt an overcoat, one Bruce Banner steps out of the elevator onto the roof after being directed upwards, and those brown eyes sweep across the area as Bruce takes it all in.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm points directly to the bar as Bruce exits the Elevator, "Hey! Do NOT! I repeat do not walk passed that bar without getting a drink!" he finishes that with a big smile.

Then removes the headphones and carefully manuvers his drink into a better drikable position -THEN- using his thumb to gauge the position of the sun....he shimmies over just a bit.

"AH", he gasps then takes a LONG DEEP BREATH. "Great day huh?"

Hulk has posed:
As he's directly addressed in what amounts to a near-shout as he gets near the bar. A glance is given to Johnny, and Bruce looks over to regard the selection.

Chances are he'll be taking a drink just to appease his host... but he's probably not going to drink too much outright. "Something light." Bruce orders of the droid bartender, before he looks back to Johnny.

"Sunbathing?"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm nods, "Any chance that I get! You never know when you gotta make those endosrment meetings," he waves a hand across the rooftop, "It's a nice space to sunbathe," the droid offers Bruce a beer in a bottle.

"So, what can I do for ya bud?"

Hulk has posed:
"Well, I was hoping to discuss some science matters with Mr. Richards, but I'm guessing the others are out." Bruce gives a slightly apologetic smile, "Do you know how your uniforms don't burn up when you turn on your fire?"

Human Torch has posed:
"Yeah yeah," Johnny takes a sip of his drink.

"Of course I do! It's pretty cool right? Reed says like polymers or something I think. I mean, it's all crazy science stuff that he tried to explain but I have to make an appearance at the rabies foundation or something."

Hulk has posed:
"That's not very informative." Bruce casually mentions as he moves over to where Johnny is, "it sounds like I need to talk to Reed about that. I was hoping to do some research about them... or at least talk to one of your team about maybe bargaining for my own suit."

Human Torch has posed:
"You want one? I'll just give you one. Like Reed's suits are just like really stretchy and Grimmy is just made to like you know fit his large bulky bricky body and take a beating and stuff. Mostly beatings from me," Johnny nods once satfisfied.

"You and Reed are friends and stuff right? LIke you are one of those smart guys right?"

Hulk has posed:
"Some consider me smart." Bruce smiles, reaching out a hand in greeting, "I'm Bruce Banner. A pleasure to meet you." A beat passes, "just like that? I'm a bit tired of my clothing ripping when The Other Guy comes out, so I'd love something I can wear that can change as he does."

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm sets down his drink and shakes the hand, "Johnny Storm...but my friends call me J Storm. You know, the cool way," then he shrugs, "It's not like he is going to miss one and then he can just make another and if you are one of those smart guys I guess you can get a hold of one and start making your own."

J Storm raises a hand towards the Driod and gives her ther 'one more' sign.

"What other guy?"

Hulk has posed:
There's a slight pause as Bruce regards Johnny, then, he chuckles. "Well, someone in the world who doesn't know who I am from the name. This is rare." The hand shook, he takes it back and places his hands in his pockets, "Most people call him the Hulk."

Human Torch has posed:
"OOOOHHHH that's you?" Johnny exclaims. Then after a paucse.

"No Resemblance." he says simply.

Hulk has posed:
"Well, that's because I transform into The Other Guy. I don't have much control over it, unlike you, I presume." Bruce gestures to Johnny, "It's really quite annoying. The Other Guy has his own mind... and I don't have much control over what he does at all. There are times I wake up weeks later and there's a trail of destruction behind me."

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm nods, "OH yeah. I don't change at all it's just me with fire all over me. It's pretty cool looking actually. Maybe one day you'll get to see it."

"But, so it's like a black out cause I have done THAT before," he notes as he drink arrives.

He grabs a communicator and says into it, "Hey Herbie. Send up one of Reeds' Fantastic Uniforms," then towards Bruce, "You must shop at thrist stores alot."

Hulk has posed:
"You have NO idea." Bruce confirms. "I always need to keep a bit of my consulting money to the side in case I need to grab another set of cheap jeans. The textile industry loves me."

Finally, Bruce takes a sip. "I've spent years trying to find a way to rid myself of the Hulk. I suppose if I had as much control over the process as you do, it wouldn't be as much of an issue... but trying to live like this?" Bruce sighs slightly, "I'm a walking time bomb, and I can't blame people around me for running around in case it goes off."

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm frowns, "Hey Man. It could be worse..I mean you could be Ben!" he chuckles to himself.

"ALl that being said, I'm glad that I could help. And the next time I see Reed, I'll send him your way so you can make sure it's all working good and stuff."

Hulk has posed:
"I suppose. From everything I read about him, the process that modified him is genetically hardcoded. Has Reed isolated the energy that gives you your abilities yet?" Bruce inquires.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm furrows his brow trying hard to remember, "Umm...something Cosmic that....mutated genetics...ummm...." he shrugs.

"You know, it's my job to wow the people. Not do the boring sciency stuff. So the answer is that I don't really know.."

Hulk has posed:
"I've been working for so long on dealing with The Other Guy... it might be a good change of pace to help with another persons genetic problems." Bruce muses. "Next time you talk to Reed, let him know I'd like to talk to him about maybe offering my help with your abilities. Who knows, maybe I'll find a way to separate Ben from those rocks, instead of me from the Hulk."

Human Torch has posed:
The blue suit shows itself right about now and Johnny simple points the andriod towards Bruce.

"There ya go," he says. "I am not sure if you can change the color to something that you may like a little better. But the blue matches my eyes."

Hulk has posed:
There's a long pause as Bruce looks it over, and Bruce just... chuckles. "Yeah, I think I'm going to have to learn how to color it green."

Bruce looks to Johnny, "Only makes sense." He takes the suit, "and thanks."

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm takes his new drink and passes off the empty one.

"And who cares why were are what we are...well I mean Reed is what he calls...fascinated by it but you know...meh. I don't care. Chicks dig it."

He tosses his legs onto the table and presses a button that turns it slowly into a recliner. "I like you Bruce. Let's go out partying."
