Loki's Hideout 2
Bruce looked around at the disturbing decor. He grimaced. It suited her. "So this is your room, hey?" He said, stepping in further.
"Yeah." Penny smiled and went over to the desk, tinkering with the machine on it. "I was working on something like you made but it still needs adjustment..." The machine looked similar to a heartbeat sensor, except larger.
He glanced over and walked across the room to her desk. "You made this?" Bruce reached out to touch it. Interesting...
Penny nodded, almost shyly. "I like technology." She said, fiddling with another similar machine on the desk. This one was a mini music player.
Bruce glanced at her, studying the little girl who was holding him captive with a strange look on his face. He sighed and just nodded, this time actually picking up the little device to examine it. "I can see."
"That's going to be a hyperactive neuron sensor." Penny said, looking at the machine he was holding. "It will fit around someone's wrist and sense if their brain neurons are getting worked up. After they take an injection of the serum I made to go with it." She explained. Her bright, young eyes glowed proudly.
Bruce's eyes widened as he registered what exactly he was holding. "And you made this?" He said, momentarily forgetting his position in avid scientific interest. "Penny, that's amazing."
Penny ducked her head, hiding her blushing face. "It's a work in progress. Thomas gave me the materials and I just...put it together. Testing it on myself, of course."
Bruce nodded, putting the gadget back onto the desk. "Testing it on yourself?" He echoed.
"Yep." Penny grinned. "See?" On her wrist, she wore a completed version of the device on the desk. There was a sensor on it that was blinking slowly. "When my neurons become hyperactive, the light increases in blinking. Pretty cool, huh?" She giggled.
"Yeah." Bruce nodded and looked down at the little device. "Yeah it is." He felt like a pet, and it was disturbing him even out of scientific excitements. He stuck his hands into his pockets and sighed, looking out onto the corner of the room. He would wait and give Natasha a little while before breaking out. He would wait as long as he could.
Penny gasped all of the sudden. "Come here!" She said, taking his hand and tugging him into the corner of the room. When you looked closely, there was actually a man huddled there, shaking with several cuts coming out of his body. "This is my friend. Lily gave him to me. Told me I could do whatever I wanted with him. So I sharpen my knives on him." Penny giggled and ruffled the man's hair. He cringed away, whimpering.
((Gah. o.o That's like my bloody nightmares. o.o))Bruce felt like he wanted to gag. He gave Penny an almost hurtful glance and then crouched down beside the man, reaching out to take his arm in order to examine some of the deeper and most obvious wounds. "That's not nice, Penny." He said flatly, his jaw clenched.
Penny frowned. "Why not? Mama says it's fine. Plus, she found him trying to rape a woman in an alley." She said, tilting her head to the side.((Hehe, sowwy. ^.^'))
((Heh... It's fine, just a little shocking. Lol...))Bruce glanced over at her and frowned. A torturing vigilanty? Hm. He shrugged and just crouched there for a while. "Well," He began with one breath. "Two lefts don't make a right." He said, figuring he could use the phrase around the little girl without seeming to cliché. "How long have you had him here?"
Penny shrugged, losing interest quickly. "About a day. I was just about to give him to Mama to get rid of anyway." She wandered back over to the machines and began working on them.
Bruce sighed and decided to just sit in the middle of the floor, an equal distance away from everything. He watched the little girl for a while. "Why did you want me here, Penny?" He finally asked.
Penny looked up, her eyes unfocused. "Oh. Because I..." She trailed off and looked at the floor, her feet swaying. She glanced at a picture on the desk, one of her father Mason, who, as usual, wasn't around. "Just cause." She murmured.
((... awww...))Bruce nodded a little and was quiet, watching her. "I can't stay very long, though." He said. "If I stay here with you for a little while, will you let me go?" Maybe she would just let him walk out scott-free. It was doubtful, but worth a shot.
(( ;( ))"I will. But Mama won't." Penny said, perking up again. "Will you help me with this?" She asked timidly, holding out the half assembled machine.
He had closed his eyes and was in the process of trying to rub the frustation off of them. Bruce blinked up at Penny as she asked him the question and then nodded. He got up and walked over, putting his glasses back on as he took the little gadget from her. "What do you need help with?"
"I have these two pieces, just behind the screen where it will show hyperactive brain activity if you passed it over someone's skull." Penny picked up a tool. "I got the main idea from your machine..." She said, then pointed to the back of the screen. "These two pieces here don't fit. I don't know how to make them work together."
Bruce nodded again and looked at it for a while. "I think..." He murmered, poking the pieces as a sort of map began to form in his mind. "I think you need to put a conduction coil in the space." He said. "So they don't touch, but the electricity will still go through. Do you have one?" He gazed at Penny from behind his glasses, waiting for an answer.
Penny bit her lip, staring at the ceiling. "Thomas might have one." She hopped out of her chair and opened the door, shouting down the hallway: "Tommmmmmyy!" "What?" A distant voice answered.
"Do you have a conduction coil?" She yelled.
"Yeah?"
"BRING IT HERE!" Penny waited at the door and Thomas the Tree Boy walked in, stopping when he saw Bruce.
Bruce looked up and over at Thomas, nodding darkly but otherwise saying nothing as he adjusted his glasses.
"Bruce." Thomas said pleasantly but stiffly. He handed Penny the conduction coil. "Yay! Thank you." She said, reaching up and kissing his cheek affectionately. Then she ran over to Bruce and held it out to him. "Is this what you need?"
"Yes," Bruce forced a bit of a smile and picked up the device. He slipped it inside and it clicked together with the satisfying sound of mechanics fitting without difficulty. "There." He handed it to Penny with an open palm.
Penny took it with a happy trill. She barely remembered to mumble "thank you" before she jumped onto the chair by her desk and starting putting the parts together. Various pieces of scientific technology cluttered her desk. She grabbed seemingly random pieces and attached them to the machine, shoving them away when they didn't work and smiling when they did. Her eyes were sharp and focused as she put the machine together with lightning speed.Thomas kept his eyes on Bruce but silently crept out of the room.
Bruce hardly even recognized Thomas' presence. He wasn't too concerned with being attacked in any case. He watched Penny quietly as she assembled her invention with shocking dexterity. Wow...
Penny broke a piece off some past, failed machine and placed it on the new one, creating some kind of antenna. She held it in her palm and stared at it. It resembled something like a handheld video game player with a screen and buttons on the bottom like a keyboard. She just stared at it for a long time, her brow furrowed in concentration.
Bruce took a few steps back and sat down cross-legged on the floor, simply watching her in silence. She really was fanscinating, no matter how evil.
Penny turned and looked at Bruce. She suddenly jumped off her chair and went over to him, holding the machine over his head. She pressed a few buttons, and after some reluctant sputtering like an old car, the machine whirred to life. It displayed Bruce's skull as an area of high green and a little bit of red in spots. She examined the screen scrutinizingly.
Bruce flinched. He sat there stiffly, nervously waiting for that painful shock of torture he was sure was coming. "What are you doing?" He muttered, trying not to move as he glanced between the machine and Penny.
"Checking your brain for madness levels." Penny pressed a button and the machine froze on the picture. She sat down next to Bruce and showed him. "That's your brain. The green is probably your gamma radiation level, but the little spots of red are madness levels." She explained, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Oh," Bruce said, blinking at the screen as he examined it. "That's..." He shook his head, looking for the right adjective. "That's amazing." So he wasn't feeling all that creative at the moment.
Madeline came silently in, watching.
Penny hugged herself happily. "You really think so?" She asked shyly.
Bruce gave Madeline a careful look beforw turning back to Penny. "Yeah," He said, nodding. "I do. It's your first birthday today," He said. "That's pretty impressive."
Madeline smiled and walked shyly up to penny. "Who is he?"
Penny smiled. "Mama says I have the body of an eight year old, the brain of a twenty year old, and I act like a five year old." She grinned goofily. She glanced at Madeline. "Bruce Banner. HE'S MINE." She grabbed onto his shirt with a possessive growl.
Bruce jumped as he was grabbed and winced, looking over at Madeline with eyes forcefully unpleading. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "It's alright, Penny." He said. "No one wants me."
((The boy I liked said I had big pupils....I'm taking it as a compliment.))
"You never know." Penny said, her voice wobbily all of the sudden. She released her hold on Bruce and climbed onto the bed, collapsing dramatically.
((*snort* really? MMMM... He could be saying worse things about biggety...))
((....What? WHAT? Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting? O__________________O
Nah, he ain't like that. He wouldn't even say 'hot' out loud. He put air quotes around the word and let me finish it for him. Hehehe, he's so cute.))
((LOL aww, that is cute. ^.^))Bruce took a relieved breath as Penny let go of him. He stood up and looked over at her. "What do you mean?"
((Yeah. <3 I just wanna hug him and kiss him. GAH! TEENAGE GIRL HORMONES, WE MEET AGAIN.))
"Go AWAY!" Penny screamed, and the sensor on her wrist was beeping wildly, signaling her brain madness neurons were going crazy. She curled into a ball, holding her head in her hands, crying; "Daddy daddy daddy, don't go. Don't go. Daddy." over and over again.
Maddy reached over and hesitantly strokes her hands. "Shshsh ..."
On her desk was a half-destroyed, half-mended machine of some sort.
