Fifth Floor Common Room | Evening | Monday | January 11

Having all of his classes tomorrow didn't mean Bod was going to stay in his room and make it an early night. He'd thought about taking another walk down to the graveyard but decided to save that for later in the week. There was time and Bod knew neither he nor the graveyard was going anywhere for awhile.

So, he'd wandered down the hall, book in hand, to the common room. Yeah, he knew he could have just closed himself in his room to read but the common room was bigger and had food. Food that Bod immediately started scrounging for. It was a little difficult to do considering he was holding his book open with one hand and reaching blindly into the refrigerator with the other. He'd pulled out the box of baking soda three times.

Putting the book down would have been easier, Bod knew, but not as fun. So, he kept trying. That box of baking soda got pulled out two more times.

Isn't that a song?

"I imagine it attracts some rather unwelcome attention," Jack said delicately.

"Especially when you've been labelled a menace," Jennifer said. "I've not actually been a menace, just to explain. Just a couple unfortunate accidents."

"... oh?"

Jack wasn't really quite sure what to make of that one, no, so he was going to look attentive and hope she explained.

"Like accidentally toppling over a tree that smashes a car which somehow gets turned into trying to kill the poor people in that car," Jennifer said. "Or simply being somewhere where crime breaks out, and somehow it gets blamed on me."

Jack winced. "Just because you look different?" he asked. "That's horrible."

"Well, there's a precedent, I guess," she said. "My cousin isn't as... controlled as I am. When he turns into The Hulk, he sort of... smashes things up. A lot."

Jack winced. "That doesn't sound good," he said. "Can't they teach him not to?"

"Now you know why I didn't think the creature from the movie wasn't a monster," Jennifer said. "Bruce... I don't know. He obviously isn't just rampaging for the sake of destroying things. But... he's done a lot of damage, too."

"And he's your cousin and you love him," Jack guessed. "It can't be easy."

"It'd be easier if I could ever track him down to talk about it," Jennifer said. "But so far, he's managed to elude the authorities. And me."
