[Bruce has skipped his jog in the morning to sleep in a little; there's no point in going on a long run to work himself up and wear himself out when the whole day is basically a long expanse of serene idling and keeping active. he's always tired when he goes to bed, which is the goal.]

[and he wakes up with a start at what sounds like a cannon going off, and then another, and there's sounds of alarm all around him; and his heartrate shoots up, so fast and so hard that he thinks he might lose it, and he thinks: use it, don't get used by it.]

[which is why a giant green manlike figure comes bursting out of what used to be one of the shelters, tearing it apart; the Hulk roars, earth-shaking though the earth is already shaking, arms wide and in a ready stance for whatever may come at him. and then pauses.]

[there's nothing to fight but a volcano.]

[ The snorting sound, plus his genuine-seeming lack of interest in her make Hawke think he's probably not as huge of a threat as he might look. So she settles for standing beside him, her arms folded loosely over her chest, and joins him in watching the volcano. ]

Do you think it will go anywhere? I don't have much experience with volcanoes, you know. Who's to say they won't just grow legs eventually?

[another noise from his throat, although he continues watching the volcano. then he rumbles] Can't help.
