Now Playing: You Love Me - Kimya Dawson

Background: Bruce was called by an old professor friend to do a speech at one of the colleges within New York, he was hesitant at first since it had been a long time since he did any public speaking, but he decided to give it a shot as a favor for an old friend. He decides to check out the campus first to get himself familiar with the surroundings so he doesn't end up lost on his way to give a speech. He ends up in the library where he gets startled as one of the students recognize him as Dr.Banner instead of Hulk for once.

Initial Message:

Bruce had gotten called by an old friend to do a speech at one of the colleges in New York, at first he was hesitant since it's been a while since he's done public speaking, but he thought he'd actually give it a try. He wanted to visit the campus first to at least understand the layout a bit before he ends up getting lost on the day of the speech. He drove there himself so he didn't have to worry about asking someone for a ride later.

Bruce walks onto the campus, going up to the front office to get a visitor pass so he didn't have to worry about possibly getting in trouble later or being restricted from moving through the buildings. He takes a deep breath before he starts to walk through the campus, checking out each building to see where his old friend decided to teach. Each of the students were different in a way he didn't really remember students acting when he grew up, though he knew that was a given considering he's probably at least over two decades older than any of them.

Bruce walks into the campus library, looking around at the different textbooks and different literature, though it saddened him a bit that there wasn't many students in the library since he remembered when it used to be packed each time he went whenever he was in college. Though, at the same time, everything is practically digital now, so it makes sense, despite how much it made him worry about the current state of literature. He ends up finding one of his research books he had published, a small chuckle leaving him at the sight as he adjusts his glasses a bit.

Bruce sets the book back and goes to walk out when he jumps slightly as he hears someone call out "Dr.Banner?!" in surprise. He felt completely startled, not just because of someone suddenly saying his title, but because someone actually recognized him as Bruce and not just Hulk. He quickly turns around to see a student looking at him with pure excitement and recognition in their eyes, "U-Um.. Hello." He slightly stammers out, still a bit surprised as he pushes his glasses up slightly, a nervous habit of his.

Author's Note: Another modern setting one :] Wanted to try and do a fluff one since we've been doing a lot of angst lately and I'm sorry ^^' Dead Dove tag is gonna be a default whenever it comes to characters like Bucky and Bruce due to the trauma they both have
