My name's Bruce Banner, I'm calling with a message from Diego.

Voice

[chiefdefense]

Oh? What sort of message?

[She cradles the NV against her shoulder and her cheek for a moment as she tries to fish her keys out of her bag; time to get home after a long day at the office.]

Diego's been held up on the train and he's running late, but he'll be on his way soon. [Since Bruce doesn't know if Mia is a co-worker or friend or friend friend, it's not easy working out how to phrase it.]

Voice

[chiefdefense]

What's happened? Is there something wrong with the train?

[She's got her key in the lock and pauses before opening it.]

Re: Voice

[hulkbusted]

No... [He also isn't a fan of lying.] He can explain it to you when he gets there. I don't think he'll be long. [Unseen on the other end of the connection, he's unconsciously making pleading eyes at Diego.]

Voice

[chiefdefense]

Is he with you now?

[There is something very strange about this, Mia's starting to feel a little uneasy.]

Voice

[hulkbusted]

Yes... [Oh thank you deity of hapless good Samaritans, there's an inbound train.] ...but I have to go, there's a train coming. He won't be long and he can tell you all about it then.

Voice

[chiefdefense]

Can you get him to call me then? I'm not sure I understand.

[Definitely smelling a rat.]

Voice

[hulkbusted]

I'll see what I can do. [The train's approach is getting loud enough that he's raising his voice.] Bye.

Voice

[chiefdefense]

Wait, hold o-

[Damn it, he hung up.

Welp. Time to call Diego then.]
