"Oh, I know," Bruce agrees, his long fingers all twisted up around the neck of a bottle of wine. The bottle has been empty for a while, but it's one of many. The problem with making an imperfect Super Soldier Serum is that it's still a Super Soldier Serum despite those imperfections---his body filters poisons effectively even when he's small and not-green.

To get drunk takes true dedication and a healthy dose of antihulk serum. That will leave him with a hell of a hangover.

He works at the cork jammed in a new bottle, his face scrunched with concentration. "My ex-fiancee dated Freddy Prinze Jr.. An actor! I overreacted. You can't just not be jealous."

"Actors," Pete says, like the word tastes bad. "What're they even good for? All they do is say somebody else's words and look nice. They got it so easy they don't even know."

But actresses are national treasures, especially if they're willing to get their kit off and their freak on (in Pete's opinion).

"You had a right to get angry. I mean you: you do stuff. Science. Things that're important."

The same can be said for Hank Pym, so Pete's kind of lost his point somewhere around Tequilaville.

"Important, but not what people want," Bruce sighs, finally popping the cork free. He thinks about going back to the glass method of drinking, but that seems inefficient. So he drinks from the bottle, slouched on the couch with an episode of some bland, generic sci-fi show flickering on the television. There isn't much on television, but that's probably because all the good characters vacationed in the City itself. He'll never in his life forget getting to talk with Mr. Spock, so the lack of Star Trek reruns can be tolerated.

"Science doesn't come with built-in accolades. Stupid, pu---" he catches himself, taking another sip. His chest throbs with a growl. "---Freddy."

Pete won't judge a man for drinking straight from the carton: that's less dishes to wash, that's all. Totally logical. Women just can't see it, somehow.

"People never know what they want."

That's almost wise of him, except he's speaking from experience.

"I wish I hadn't a said anythin'," Pete murmurs.
