A few times he could recall the mutant challenging Hulk to a fight over a simple bit of ribbing. But then again he'd be a hypocrite if he held it against him as Hulk had come out over ice cream before. So he kept it light. "Just the middle finger, Logan? I thought you'd pop the claw. That's how I know you care," he said with a bit of a strained laugh. Not that he didn't think it was funny; laughing was still a process for him.<br/><br/>But he knew the Wolverine had his back when it counted, and that was all that really mattered."Hey, Natasha. Looking as beautiful as ever...or deadly. Hell why not both. You're looking very femme fatale-ish tonight, which trust me, is some of the best flattery material I've got." He smiled at the spy and returned the hug, not averse to human contact...especially with such a voluptuous woman.<br/><br/>He stepped back from the hug after an appropriate amount of time and contact; which was just in time for him to see Susan materialize out of thin air like she did so often. Honestly it didn't even surprise any of them anymore. He gave her a nod and a small wave before she turned to hang with Logan. Natasha turned to her too, then looked back at him and inquired as to whether he could handle alcohol. "Can I dr-? Can I drink? Oh yeah; yeeaaaah. All the stuff we've been workin' on. The yoga, the martial arts, eating better. It's all helped."<br/><br/>Leaning in close, he whispered quickly into her ear. "Weed helps too. Really mellows us out," he said as he meant both himself and his green counterpart."[/color] Coughing slightly in case the human animal heard him, he straightened up his posture. "And me and the big guy...well believe it or not we've been sort of getting along lately."<br/><br/>The smile on his face and the nervous rubbing of the back of his head were typical for him, but Natasha could pick up the tells. He was being honest. "I mean...he still calls me "Puny Banner" and likes to question everything I do. But we're not at each others throats now and when I Hulk out, I'm still sort of in control. It's kinda crazy, but amazing. So let's get wasted, huh? Or at least buzzed. I really need this."
