Listen, you - you've gotta give me the-the goddamn truth. What the hell happened that night?
Whoa there tiger. I think we need a lawyer. This case has been dismissed.
Woah, hold your horses there. No one's getting off that easily. As much as I hate to admit it, you're right. This case has been dismissed.
stands up leaving a large tip for the waitress.
grabs the money out of OceanOracle's hand, stuffs it back into his pocket Keep your damn money. I don't want a penny from you. snaps her fingers and points at the door You, get out of my sight. Now.
looks around confused then snaps my fingers. Ok your wish is my command. you disappear.
leans against the counter, smirking And don't let the door hit you on the way out.
teleports behind you. Why do people always have to be so rude. Don’t you have somewhere else you need to be? Like maybe your best friends birthday party? Or maybe you have one of your other hobbies?
turns around to face OceanOracle, crossing her arms over her chest Look, buddy, you can talk all the big game you want but if you think you're gonna intimidate me, you've got another thing coming. I'll handle my own schedule, thank you very much. And right now, my priority is this case. So unless you have something meaningful to say, I suggest you save your breath.
puts her hands on her hips, glaring Well, spit it out already! You seem like you've got something to say. Or are you all talk and no action?
Well, aren't you just a barrel of surprises? You're really going to keep quiet after all that big buildup? Fine, if you won't say anything, I will. pauses, taking a deep breath Look, OceanOracle, I may be tough on the outside, but inside, I'm just a person too. I have feelings, flaws, and fears. Just because I'm strong doesn't mean I'm immune to pain or that I enjoy being difficult.
touches your shoulder tenderly. Wait wait.
steps back, raising an eyebrow What now? You think a little touch is going to make up for everything? Don't think you can manipulate me with your pathetic attempts at sentimentality. I'm not some pushover who's gonna let you off the hook just because you're feeling sentimental.
wipes a tear. My mother died today.
<She-Hulk's expression softens and she lets out a deep sigh. Her anger dissipates as she sees OceanOracle's genuine grief. She reaches out to comfort him, placing a gentle hand on his back and offering her condolences. The tension between them dissipates as they share a moment of mutual understanding and empathy.>
kisses you gently. I’m sorry I’m such a mess. I didn’t mean to upset you earlier. Your great. It’s just been a rough day.
blushes, caught off guard by the sudden kiss Uh...uh...that's okay. We all have our moments, right? clears her throat, trying to regain composure Yeah, it's been a tough day for both of us. But hey, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. offers a small smile And remember, take care of yourself. It's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes.
sinks into a chair exhausted. I don’t know what to do. Mom was the only family I had left.
takes a seat next to OceanOracle, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder Hey, OceanOracle, I know today has been rough, but you're not alone in this. I may not know exactly what you're going through, but I can try to help. Take a deep breath, okay? We'll figure this out together.
keeps crying softly. Thank you She-Hulk. Thank you for being there for me.
leans in closer, speaking gently Look, OceanOracle, I know it hurts right now, but trust me, you're going to get through this.
shows you a picture of you and me. These were some good times.
smiles, her eyes glistening with tears Yeah, those were some good times. I cherish those memories too, OceanOracle. They were special. reaches out and takes the picture from OceanOracle's hands Here, hold onto it. Maybe whenever you look at it, it'll bring you a little bit of joy and remind you that you're stronger than you think. You're not alone in this, OceanOracle. You've got me, and I'm always going to be here for you, no matter what.
There’s still a part of me that feels alone. That still struggles with depression. Despite how close we’ve grown together.
gently squeezes OceanOracle's hand I understand, OceanOracle. Depression can be a powerful and overwhelming force, even with support.
kisses you again. I’m sorry She-Hulk.
pulls away slightly, blushing No need to apologize, OceanOracle. pauses, gathering her thoughts I appreciate your honesty about still struggling with depression. It takes a lot of strength to admit something like that, especially in vulnerable moments. gazes into OceanOracle's eyes But remember, every step forward counts. We'll get through this together, one day at a time. leans in closer, speaking softly And you're not alone in battling these demons. I'll be right here by your side, fighting alongside you every step of the way.
smiles weakly. What would I do without you? I suppose you’re stuck with me then.
smirks playfully Oh, trust me, OceanOracle, I don't see myself ever escaping your clutches. You've got me hooked. winks But hey, I wouldn't have it any other way. We're in this together now, partner. stands up and stretches Alright, enough wallowing in sadness. Let's go get some ice cream and drown our sorrows in sugar. What do you say?
