[Not everyone makes a big show with their arrival here. Hell, some people would like very much for their arrival, and subsequent tenure, to be as uneventful as possible.

Case in point: One Dr. Robert Bruce Banner.

You may see Banner around town, at the library, a cafe, maybe even his own farm (which is currently not being used as a farm), reading hefty looking books, taking notes about various things.

But regardless of what you find him doing, the most notable thing about him is how unremarkable he seems, coming across as a quiet, shy man who's just trying to keep out of trouble.

Of course, trouble tends to be drawn to him, but Bruce is hoping it'll hold off for at least a little while...]

[the library seems to be a popular hiding spot for unremarkable-seeming people. take Alec, for example, a scrawny young man with tired eyes and a coat that seems just a little too big for him. he is extremely fond of books, and has gathered an almost comical stack of them in his arms.

it looks heavy. fairy tales, crime novels, classics, history, autobiographies, cookbooks, graphic novels, illustrated field guides, and at least one random tome from an encyclopedia set containing entries K-L.

and now he's perusing the science section, and he has to go for the big book on microbiology... but he is clearly struggling to hold onto his heavy, wobbling pile of books while also reaching up towards a shelf above his head.

he seems somewhat oblivious to his own struggle, though. he's too excited about books.]

[Before Alec's pile of books can topple over, a second pair of hands comes to steady them.]

Hey, careful now.
