Unprompted Asks -> Accepting // @gammaragee is the cat's meow for hanging out with William for the day -> Bruce, trying to catch his breath after having chased William around all day "It - it went well"

TO GET A WHOLE DAY TO RUN ERRANDS, CLEAN THE APARTMENT, AND FIND SOME TIME TO RELAX WAS A BLESSING.

Being a single mom, a superhero, and homeschooling William was no walk in the park. TRYING TO GET ANYTHING DONE can feel like two steps forward and one step back. William helped with chores on most days and other days, the wild non-human side kicked in and the apartment was torn asunder.

THANK GOD SHE HAD A FAVOR SHE COULD CALL IN.

THAT'S HOW BRUCE BANNER ENDED UP WITH A FIVE YEAR OLD ALL DAY.

Greer's coming around after her day of housekeeping than TLC that was much needed for herself. Her nails were sharp, well kept, and she feels fresh. Hoping that tonight maybe William would be so tired that she could chose what she wanted to watch.

She's at Dr. Banner's door, knocking at it and she's grinning ear to ear like a cheshire as the door swings open. Her lips curl as he is opens the door panting, so William is still a ball of energy. ❝ That's good to hear, now where's the little lovebug? ❞ SHE KNOW WHERE. HOW COULD A MOTHER NOT KNOW?

It'd be years before her son could hide from her. Currently, William has tucked himself behind a corner to hide and waiting to launch himself at the both of them.

❝ SURPRISE ATTACK! ❞ He announces himself before he's launching himself at Bruce's back trying to climb up his shoulder despite not being as little as he thought he was.

Greer laughs, though she goes to hold out her arms to keep Bruce from toppling forward. That's her little hunter, a swell of pride for him using the skills and instincts that he was born with along that fact he was being his happy little self. She won't even need to ask him if he had fun, it's visible. No super senses needed.

THIS IS WHY SHE HAD TO HOMESCHOOL HIM OR LEAVE WITH OTHER SURERHEROES.

❝ Careful there, dear heart, don't break Dr. Bruce ⸻ That happen a lot all day? Minding his claws? ❞ She reaches her hand out to hold William's chin and pinch at his cheeks, while the five year old is clinging to Bruce's backside.

Her hand than moves to cup one of Bruce's cheeks and look him in the eyes. ❝ Thanks tiger, it means a lot that you could take him for the day. I got so much done. ❞

unprompted asks -> always welcome // @gammaragee -> Bruce wants Clint to teach him sign language UwU

NORMALLY. HE MIGHT TELL CERTAIN PEOPLE TO GET A SIGN LANGUAGE BOOK.

Learn on their own because he didn't have the time or energy to do this. That's usually for people that he doesn't really know well or he didn't think he'd be able to have the patience to spend time with them like. Clint's never asked for these accommodations to be made for him, for anyone to learn this.

However it would a lie, his nose would grow, if he said it didn't delight him to know he'd have someone more to communicate with in his language. There were certain people that he would take time to teach the basics, Bruce Banner would be one of them. One of the few friends he would take the energy and his own time to teach himself. He did not try on Clint's own patience.

FIRST, THE ALPHABET. He starts to explain each letter in chunks of five letters at a time. Clint's watching him for fluidity from going letter to letter. « ❝ I wanna get you fingerspelling first. ❞ » That'll come in handy for being able to communicate words, not so much ideas, that he either wants the sign for, or simply to communicate the word to him when needed.

He wanted to make sure he got the letters, than he could teach him the other basics like greetings, basic questions, common expressions. As they move on to that, Clint starts to sign « YES » by making a fist and nodding his fist up and down or « NO » by making a pinching motion bringing his index and middle finger down to his thumb as Bruce goes over what has been taught so far.

« ❝ You're getting it; got nice hands for talking too too. ❞ » Everything that he speaks is signed as well, just so that Bruce start to pick up on how it translates into conversation, how expressions accompanied sign.

Fill the void of my askbox -> @gammaragee is the silliest for he sent in -> "It's freezing so he's going to offer Greer his jacket"

It was cold outside and she had dressed appropriately enough for herself, a thing long sleeve and mom jeans; gosh, she really had a lot of those in wardrobe these days. Other people were shivering and she had been feeling fine, her furred skin may be thin but it retained enough heat.

However when Bruce Banner is taking his coat and holding it out towards her, the mumble of his words that she's not even quite sure what he said but she knows the gesture. Who was she to reject such a sweet offer, even if she didn't mind the cold.

Greer slips the coat on with a smile, she'll appreciate the extra warmth. ❝ Thank you, Dr. Banner, much warmer now. ❞ Okay, that was a little more of a light tease because he thought she was cold which was cute considering she's the one with fur and he's still got human skin when he's like this. ❝ You'll have to stick close to me to make sure you stay warm too. ❞

There's definite amuse on her features as she moves through the apartment, following Bruce to the kitchen and making herself comfortable. Leaning against the counter, green eyes tracking his movements.

It's easy to see that he's a little frazzled, keeping up with a kit whose got enough energy that Greer jokes she should get him a hamster wheel and power their own electricity. On top of that, she can guess two things happening at once threw him; all this, however, makes Greer mildly amused over him. ❝ Need a little help there? ❞ She offers after a moment.

❝ Don's the coolest one. ❞

William perks up, reaching to try to pull himself on the counter which Greer moves to retract him from that. ❝ Remember our manners, no counters... ❞ She chuckles at the thought of the questioning that Bruce endured when it came to turtles. Greer tried to keep up, to be invested for son but she definitely felt lost it. Cartoons had never been her thing. ❝ What's the red one? ❞

❝ Raphael, duh. ❞ She'll let that response slide. ❝ Yeah, that one. ❞ To be fair, she knew more than she let out. She's tried and has been oversaturated with Ninja Turtles for weeks now.

❝ Well, I'd like to hear these response too. Is the Big Green a turtle, or does he know them? ❞ She leans ever slightly, into Bruce's side, mostly look over what he's doing and partly to tease, to flirt.

Despite the damage to his place he meant what he said, they had fun, it was kind of nice having someone around that hung on to his every word, even if it was a child, William certainly kept him kept him on his toes. So much that he forgot about dinner ( in his defense he doesn't actually remember starting it )

Over the screeching up fire alarm he just barely hears Greer invites herself to stay for dinner, is relieved, saves him the awkwardness of doing it, hope she likes burnt meatloaf… Hastily waving away the smoke he places the dish aside, moving to stir the sides simmering on the stove, a bit much to handle on his own.

❝ Indeed he did, I think Donatello is my favorite ❞ Answers gently, reaches over to raffle William's hair, making it clear he wasn't just humoring the boy but actually listen to him. ❝ He wanted to know if Hulk was one of the turtles, or if he knew them. I tried my best to explain ❞

If she hadn't needed to get house work done at their apartment, than she probably would have had Bruce come over to watch William. Considering the fact that their floors have been scratched to hell from two pairs of claws that scratched it up; she figured that it'd be politer for him to come to their place. That did not happen today, and all Greer can hope that William was not feeling like being a natural disaster.

Her eyes dart around the room to see if there was anything she should apologize for. GREER HAD WARNED BRUCE, RIGHT? Greer strokes her thumb over Bruce's cheeks as she does notice a rip in the curtains.

AND SHE HAD THOUGHT HE TOLD WILLIAM NO CLIMBING.

However, she can see the light in William's eyes that he had fun and that he liked Bruce if he was feeling comfortable enough to just jump at him so freely.

❝ Were you nice to Dr. Bruce's furniture, Will? ❞ William does not make a peep about that, just grins at her as he s pulled off Bruce and desposited into Greer's arms. She kisses the top of his head, which earns her a hug before she's putting him down.

Greer could smell that something was starting to burn in the kitchen before Bruce's timer goes off. She bursts out into laughter and deposits William to the ground. ❝ So what I am hearing is we're staying for dinner, and guess it's my turn to owe you for curtain damage control. ❞ She's totally going to impose if she could, and William seems to like the idea enough.

❝ Dr. Bruce taught me about turtles! ❞

❝ Oh really? You'll have to tell me about turtles. ⸺⸻ He talked to you about his ninja turtles obsession, didn't he? ❞ She asks redirecting the conversation to Bruce, knowing when she took William home he would want to curl on the couch, tell her everything until he passed out. Greer can tell he'll sleep good tonight.

Despite Greer's many, many warnings the physicist had started off the day confident in his ability to look after William for an afternoon, after all he likes kids, is pretty sure kids like him, has super power children of his own for crying out loud, so, how hard could it be? He quickly found out.

To say William was precocious would be a severe understatement, within a few hours his curtains were shredded and the lakes of his wood coffee table were almost completely chewed through, hilariously that's less destruction than he's used to.

Takes an abundance of energy to keep up with William, energy he apparently doesn't have because next thing he knows an hour had passed and he is in the middle of pulling the boy off the chandelier. Did he switch, with Joe? Had to be him, Joe can tolerate kids?? Before he can fully wrap his mind around that one there's a knock at the door.

❝ He was just right over -- ❞ Is tackled before he can finish his sentence, letting out an exaggerated yell for William's amusement while trying not to fall face first into Greer's arms, is all smiles when she takes him by the face, causing him to freeze as he looks back up at her. ❝ It was no trouble, really, we had fun ❞

No sooner than he's finished his sentence does it the sound of a timer ending ring out. Damn, he forgot! Promptly yanks the boy off his back, safely plopping him in his mother's arms before making a beeline for the kitchen that smoke was now coming from. ❝ Wasn't sure when you'd get back so I got dinner started ❞
