Settling In

Settling In is a scene involving Rachel Roth and Garfield Logan settling into Avengers Tower with their new teammates, though Rachel has been doing so begrudgingly.

A subplot includes Umar asking Rachel to set up a reunion with Hulk, her former lover who she was rather bitchy towards.

Rachel's Room
Rachel lays on her bed and sighs. She didn't want to join a new team out of fear of getting attached and then losing them to the Anti-Matter Wave like with the Titans on Earth-9.

RACHEL: I didn't want this. But no. Gar had to join a new team again. Ugh! [As Rachel groans in annoyance, a knock is heard. She gets up and angrily opens the door to reveal Hulk, who is holding a massive bowl of cheese curls.] Oh. I-It's you.

HULK: [holds the bowl in front of Rachel] Gar told me you love cheese curls, so I made these for you.

RACHEL: [smiles a bit and decides to finally be nice, so she takes the bowl] Thank you. Is this a peace offering? Heh.

HULK: [shrugs] Maybe...considering how you've treated us since you and Gar joined. [crosses his arms]

RACHEL: [puts the bowl of cheese curls on her dresser] I'm sorry. I just...Me and Gar...We lost our previous team to some...storm. Along with our Earth. Earth-9.

HULK: [looks at Rachel sympathetically and touches her shoulder] Sorry about your friends.

RACHEL: [smiles lightly and looks at Hulk] Thanks, big guy. I just...I didn't want to join up with you guys because I was afraid of getting emotionally hurt again.

HULK: I think you'll find that we are tougher than you think. [smiles] Enjoy the cheese curls.

As Hulk turns around to leave, Rachel decides to be more nice to Hulk.

RACHEL: Wait.

HULK: [turns around and looks at Rachel] Yes?

RACHEL: You...wanna eat these with me?

HULK: Sure. [smiles and walks into Rachel's room and closes the door behind him]
