[ She's been fairly quiet on the network after her conversation with the other Eobard. And fairly scarce in and around Heropa. There's still things she's processing from the world turning upside down last month. And things that she's avoiding. ]

What do you do when you start to feel homesick? Have you felt homesick while here? I can't imagine anyone hasn't, but stranger things have happened. None of us can choose to go home, and it's not like I can go visit this world's version of my home because it doesn't seem to exist here.

I know. Kind of nice having something in common, though. And we might not be too far apart in genetics either. I actually worked as a geneticist when I first got here.

Not anymore, though. I work at StarkTech as a developer now.

It is nice. It's not often I meet someone in the same fields outside of a lab setting.

That makes you the third person I've met that works there? Not counting Cisco. He worked there before he was ported out.

Or science conventions. Guess today's a day for pleasant surprises.

Never met him. He must've left before I joined in.
What about you? Never thought about getting a job there too?

Conventions and conferences. Yes, very pleasant surprises.

I guess I'm not entirely sure what StarkTech does? Or what it doesn't do. I haven't really stretched my wings here, you could probably say.

A little of everything, honestly. From stuff like kitchen appliances to, say... chemical engineering. Currently I'm working on a project related to medicine, for instance. But you can find just about anything there, so long as it's related to the latest scientific and technological advancements.

Okay, I think those last four words are the clincher. Might as well be a big flashing neon sign. Because where I work back home? STAR Labs. Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Labs.

Wow, that's uncanny. And a sign, if you ask me.
In all seriousness though, if you ever feel like it, come by StarkTech. If you like what you see, and I like what I see in you, I can try and put in a good word for you with Tony. Not that you'd need it— he's never one to turn down a talented genius.

I don't usually believe in signs, but that one might make me start.

I will. Come by, I mean. "Talented genius" might be overselling it a little, but I would appreciate the good word. Granted that you like what you see in me.

Alright then, 'talented possibly-genius-possibly-not'. :P
And great. Let me know whenever you're thinking of dropping by and I'll be waiting.

[ A few seconds later, and another text chimes in. ]

Sorry, forgot to introduce myself. I'm Bruce Banner. You?

Much more accurate. I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. :)
I will! Thank you for this.

I constantly forget to do that part. Shows how much of a recluse I am sometimes.
Caitlin Snow. It's nice to meet you.

I often have the same problem. Maybe it's a genius thing. Or a scientist thing.
It's nice to meet you too, Caitlin. You can just call me Bruce, for the record.

I know in my case, it's more often a 'lack of social interaction' thing. I'm too used to being around people who already know me. Though it could also be a scientist thing or a genius thing. Or all three.
Thank you, Bruce.

Better than to just say you're antisocial, I think. But I can relate on that front, too.
Don't mention it. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yes, but antisocial has such negative connotations. Maybe the happy medium is just claiming to be forgetful.
I'll be in touch.
