You know, this isn't the first time the government's kept files on me, but I think it might be the first time they've let me read them.
[ Bruce isn't looking at the camera when he speaks. The view's askew, too, device propped up on the desk at which he's sitting and a little obscured by a small stack of papers in the foreground.
He removes his glasses before casting a glance towards the screen, offering a very small smile that's a match for his patient, gently amused tone. He seriously doubts the files he's read are the full ones; that's the joke, though he doesn't elaborate. ]
If you're a kid or an amateur scientist, or both, let me know what you're interested in learning about. Otherwise, you're in for my best attempt at a kid-friendly explanation of the fourth dimension. That should be relevant to everyone's interests, at least.
Job-related question, by the way. Not just asking because I love to talk about science. But on that note— if you work for a company with an R&D department, consider this an official job inquiry.

[ um.
That's all he gets. No 'good to see you,' no 'have you killed Tony Stark yet.' ]

Job-related. [ But then his brow furrows, head tilting slightly as offers a more genuine smile. ] Did they get anyone else I should know about?

also, what's your specialty? i might be able to make a rec on the tech side.

And I guess you could say I'm known for my research in Gamma Radiation, but I've worked with tech before. You know the local companies?

And the fourth dimension isn't completely unrelated, if you go with the many-worlds interpretation of time travel. That'd get you more than one Earth.

You aren't my Tony.
[ Which sounds a little weird. But it's said as an observation, not like he's disappointed; and honestly, the whole multiverse thing is far weirder than anything he could say about the situation. ]
So, what— are you from that other Loki's dimension?
[ The delivery on that is 99% serious, but there's a stubborn 1% of skepticism hanging in there. ]

Hey there, Mr. Banner. I'm Kate Bishop. I'm also from Loki and the ruder Tony's dimension. Perhaps more relevant than all of that, I'm the partner of Clint Barton back home. Also called Hawkeye! [She's also an Avenger, but she's not flaunting her membership card.
Yet.]
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
And ... scientist-wise, if you can explain why radiation can grant us powers according to the scientists here, I think that could be fun. Uh, the effects of radiation?
video.
Nice to meet you, Kate. As in— [ Short pause to consider her words, like he's not entirely sure he's translating this right. ] You're both called Hawkeye?
[ Radiation thing: great idea. He'll get to that in a second. ]

[Ed sighs, running a hand through his hair. The right one, with the auto-mail that is visible without his gloves on.]
But what kind of sciences were you interested in? I bet you could teach. I know some biology, chemistry....physics is still new to me but we're learning that in school.
Wait, fourth dimension, what?
video;
[ Bruce knows the feeling. The tone's a little teasing, not meant to be truly prying. ]
Biochemistry and Nuclear Physics. I'm known for my work in Gamma Radiation, specifically. [ He offers a subdued smile at the question, sympathetic. ] And the fourth dimension isn't really covered by any of those topics you mentioned, if that helps. It represents time.

So he gets a twenty-something with fuchsia hair smiling at him, caught between delight and exercising good manners, under an ID tag that names her Verity Willis. ]
Dr. Banner? I've read some of your work back in my world, it was very interesting. I hope you get settled here soon, I can't imagine you'd have a problem job-searching with your qualifications.
[ Well, he might because of, you know, but she isn't going to bring it up right off the bat. Some people here weren't raised in a barn
looking at you, Loki. ]video »
Thanks. [ "Interesting", probably a good word for it. ]
I'm assuming you work in a related field? [ And after a beat, but sounding entirely frank instead of mocking: ] Nice hair.

[ Good in that "constant reminder" kind of way. Anyway, he's not really a kid (though he is "a teenager"), but he still ventures: ]
Do you know much about brains?

I'd like them a little more if they had some answers.
[ They covered the basics about this place with the intro package; he's more wishing their tech could tell him more about his condition, but that'd probably be way too lucky. ]
And I guess that depends. Are we talking psychology or surgery?
