Office #19 | Wednesday

Now that a new semester was starting, Bruce was back to holding regular office hours. It was a little different than it had been last semester, though, because instead of taking some time out of his personal time at the hotel to make himself available to students for a few hours, office hours were looking more like the personal time, while his time at 33 Apocalypse ran the risk of being a little more social.

That was fine, though, because Bruce's office was comfortable (read: spartan), and if he showed up significantly earlier than he assumed most students had an interest in waking up, he figured that he was guaranteed at least a few solid hours of introvert recharge time before anyone came by to bother him.

Uh. Talk to him. Not 'bother.' He didn't know why he'd thought 'bother.'

Was Clint a bother? He certainly didn't think so, which was why he waved at Bruce as he passed his door rolling through the hallway on his chair.

Someone might have been a little bored.
justonecondition: (this is the literal worst)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-10 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Did Clint really want the narrative to answer that? That was the question.

Bruce was at least used to him, though, so he greeted Clint with a somewhat distracted but nonetheless friendly, "Hey, Barton. Uh, be careful not to hit any walls."
so_hawkward: ([posi] laughing)

[personal profile] so_hawkward 2013-07-10 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm totally careful," Clint said, before rolling into the doorway. "Aww door."
justonecondition: (cutest ever basically)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-10 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh, don't... take this the wrong way," Bruce said slowly, with a faint note of amusement in his tone, "but aren't you the one who 'sees everything?'"
so_hawkward: ([posi] listening to you)

[personal profile] so_hawkward 2013-07-10 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey, my aim with an arrow is flawless. My aim with my body... well, I'm still working on that," Clint said, rubbing his arm. "How's it going, doc?"
justonecondition: (you can smell crazy on him)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-11 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm all right," Bruce said. "Got an interesting visitor a little while ago trying to give me a flower."

He gestured to Kenzi's origami flower.

"How are you?"
so_hawkward: ([posi] pleased with myself)

[personal profile] so_hawkward 2013-07-11 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Eh, I can't complain," Clint said with a shrug. "But I also don't have students giving me random gifts. You must be doing well with the teaching thing."
justonecondition: (pardon me loquacious stranger?)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-11 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce barked a laugh. "Uh, no, it wasn't a student," he clarified. "At least not one of mine. As far as I could tell, she was decorating someone else's office and thought she'd drop some decor off here on the way."

In Kenzi's defense, Bruce's office was embarrassingly devoid of decoration. There wasn't so much as a photo on the desk.
so_hawkward: ([posi] laughing)

[personal profile] so_hawkward 2013-07-11 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, this place could use a little decoration." Because don't think Clint hadn't noticed that, Bruce. "You should make Tony send you some."
justonecondition: (sorry. that was mean)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-11 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
"I appreciate it, but I think I'll be okay," Bruce insisted. "Anyway, I ask Tony to get me decorations and before long the walls will be papered with posters of cats in boxes and math jokes."

Not that he had anything against a good math joke.
so_hawkward: ([posi] almost smirking)

[personal profile] so_hawkward 2013-07-11 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Or calendars of scantily-clad women," Clint said. "Tony doesn't have a lot of shame."
justonecondition: (laughing a lot)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-11 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce laughed. "I can't believe I didn't think of that," he admitted. "All the more reason to refrain. I don't know that the administration would love seeing that in a teacher's office."

It had probably happened before. Deadpool and all.
so_hawkward: ([posi] pleased with myself)

[personal profile] so_hawkward 2013-07-11 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"The principal's got a dartboard with someone's face on it," Clint said with a shrug. "This place doesn't seem like it has a lot of rules overall. It's pretty awesome that way."

Kenzi was on her way to bother talk to Bo. Possibly re-decorate again, if those handfuls of origami flowers were anything to go by.

Don't judge, those napkins were happy to be re-purposed.

She stuck her head in and stared at Bruce a moment. Thinking. "You're new. Ish. Can I ask you a kinda personal question?"
justonecondition: (hey!)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-10 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that was a question Bruce didn't tend to love to hear.

He wasn't sure how to avoid answering it except by countering with a question of his own, so-- "Are you in my class?"

[identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com 2013-07-10 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Does it matter?" Kenzi grinned. "I could be?"
justonecondition: (uh HUH)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-10 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Noting the inflection on 'I could be' and that it was a question, Bruce figured that she was playing a game here, rather than actually trying to... something.

There were a lot of potential somethings. But he didn't think this conversation was going to be one of them.

"Are you on my roster?" he wondered, mildly amused now.

[identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com 2013-07-10 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why don't you know that?" Kenzi wondered at him, grinning.
justonecondition: (sheepish dork)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-10 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are you wearing a nametag...?" Bruce prompted, with a little half-grin of his own.

[identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com 2013-07-10 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Does it look like I am?" Kenzi bounced a little further into the doorway, holding out her arms at the sides: one perky goth with perky origami flowers. No nametag. "Do you think my name could be Astra?" Ha! ahahahha.
justonecondition: (point)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-10 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
The flowers were a little weird, but maybe that was just what the kids carried around these days?

...God, Bruce felt old.

"I..." He needed a minute to come up with a question in response to that one. "Is your name Astra?"

[identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com 2013-07-10 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is anyone really named Astra?" She was checking for a door hanging with a name, or a desk plague for him, already. "What do you teach?"
justonecondition: (laugh)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-10 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"So you're not in my class." Yes, that was worth breaking the routine for.

There was no plaque up with his name on it -- which had been a conscious choice on Bruce's part that had required being rather awkward at the custodian who had come by to put one up -- but there was a degree from Penn State hanging behind his desk, just low enough to be mostly obstructed from view by Bruce's head.

"Can I help you with something?

[identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com 2013-07-10 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
So Kenzi was sliiiiding forward more than a little obviously, and tilting her head, trying to read that. She gave a grin and a you caught me shrug to Bruce's statement, and said, "Want a flower?"

That wasn't a no. Or a yes.
justonecondition: (dont every time get what i want)

[personal profile] justonecondition 2013-07-10 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Does the flower come with strings attached?" He felt as though he could comfortably ask that at this point.
