Owner Pose
Bruce Banner It's been a few weeks since the Hulk had been sighted taking down Sentinels, and disappearing off to the west. What most don't know is Spider-Man talked him down in a cave at a state park, and he's been back to the Mansion and off on his own again. He's not all that interested in getting targeted by the Sentinels as it is, so he needed a place for his current lab that was low key, but close enough to a population center he could reasonably find an airport to import parts.

Of course, Detriot being Detriot, he's already been forced to Hulk Out as people tried to rob him on the way back and forth for his pickups. He hasn't done any serious injuries yet, since the muggers always run as soon as they realize who they were dealing with. One particularly unlucky human got a broken arm, and there have been some crushed cars and craters... but it's likely only a matter of some gang being dumb enough to try their luck.

Still, it's more than enough for Johnny to have a trail to follow.

Today, Bruce is in his lab coat, some some bio-analysis in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of the city. With a small living space setup, he's definitely squatting... and there are more than enough craters around the terrain and infrastructure to infer this is a popular Hulk destination for Johnny.
Johnny Blaze When Johnny saw on the news reports that the Hulk had taken down some Sentinels a few weeks ago? Well, the Ghost Rider figured he had some unfinished business with the jolly green giant. So, the hunt was on. Driving all the way down to Detroit with determination and complete lack of sleep, Johnny looks around the area. Multiple reports of the Hulk going haywire down here, but with no serious injuries...it was going to happen. Bound to happen, one might say.

Eventually, Blaze arrives at a warehouse, in a similar setting when Johnny first found Banner, and Bruce may yet here the sounds of a loud motorcycle reeling on in, unless he dismisses it as simple traffic noise from the city (or the occasional passerby).

Dismounting, Johnny takes off his hat, but leaves his ragged duster cloak on as he approaches the warehouse.

"Hm...doesn't look like any traps for the moment." so he knocks. Hard.
Bruce Banner It was actually discounted as random traffic, at least until Johnny knocks... and Bruce startles just a bit. "Did one of them follow me?" Bruce muses to himself. Then, he takes a remote control, and the click it. The gate opens automatically, revealing Bruce and his makeshift mobile lab. It's actually fairly well equipped.

The mild mannered scientist almost immediately recognizes the man though, and he's already tensing, "Mister... I don't know who you are, but I recognize you. The Other Guy already has very little patience these days. If you force him out again, I can guarantee you he's going to be take it out on you."
Johnny Blaze "Met the other guy, remember? Not too afraid of him." Especially since the Ghost Rider fought the Hulk on some pretty even terms...for the moment. But, as Johnny approaches Banner, Johnny raises a brow. "You look nervous. Trying to hide something? You've had a few incidents here, Banner. Can't keep it in check?" Johnny seems to have little patience himself.

"What are you doing here?" at least this time, Johnny's not so quick to fight, especially since now he knows Banner and the Jade Monster are one and the same person.
Bruce Banner "I don't know if I want to tell you anything after the last time." Bruce guardedly informs Johnny. "The Other Guy comes out when I'm threatened, angry, panicked, or otherwise frustrated. It's not something I fully control, and I can transform at any moment, if you push me." Bruce shifts his stance slightly, putting down the tablet he was holding on the table in front of him, and turning to face Johnny. "I can vaguely remember that fight. We don't share memories vividly, you see."

His hands clasp at his waist, "and it usually takes a while for it to boot." Then, he frowns, "I'm conducting some tests for a long term solution to some of my problems."
Johnny Blaze Johnny looks irritated now. "Oh, experiments huh?" He crosses his arms over his chest. "And how many people have to get hurt before your 'tests' end up actually producing something to help you? Your not making any friends, Banner."

Blaze seems unflinching of Banner. Not afraid of his other half, becuase Johnny has another half too that most wouldn't look at twice.
Bruce Banner There's a moment of silence as Bruce considers Johnny... then, he sighs, wearily. "Look, I'm not looking to get into a fight. The Other Guy might love it, but I'm not. I need space to do what I do, and Detriot was the best place I could think of for it. This is way far away from most of the populated areas of the city, and I need access to the grid." Bruce explains. "Are you going to hound me across the planet?"
Johnny Blaze "Thinking about it." Johnny says with a straight tone. "Not in a science center where you could...I don't know, actually work with others to help with your condition? Your not the only smart guy in the world Banner." Johnny says looking slightly irritated. "Key word - most."

Johnny sighs then. "Look, you haven't killed anyone. Not yet. You get this one pass, Banner. One."
Bruce Banner "I'm so glad to meet your approval." Bruce quips, in a mix of weariness and amusement, before he's turning back to the table, and beginning to pack up his gear into the crate next to it. The flatbed truck at the loading bay has an open container attached, so it's easy to infer he's going to use it to move shop.

"I'll just leave and go somewhere else, then. Maybe I'll have a few weeks peace before you find me again." Bruce informs Johnny.
Johnny Blaze Johnny looks at Bruce. "Its not approval. Its mercy." he says with a deadly look in his eye, before he watches Banner start packing up his equipment. "Do what you want. I'll give you the time you need. Just don't do anything I wouldn't on the way to whatever warehouse your going to next." Maybe a little hint for Banner to...not pick an obvious place to keep your head down.

The Spirit of Vengeance then turns on his heel and starts his walk. "Safe travels, Banner. I have a feeling I'll be seeing you again."
