>> I hope that Leonard is awesome. Or continues to be awesome. <<
He is.
>> He was sort of...weirdly creepy there for a moment and I don't know exactly why yet? I've re-read that bit like six times and still no dice...will try to understand weird uncomfortable brain noises and transmute them to words that make sense for you at some point if I figure it out?<<
Possibilities:
1) It may come across as creepy because Leonard knows far more about Bruce than Bruce knows about Leonard. It's kind of like when a time traveler meets someone they already know, who hasn't met them yet in this time. You can only hide so much. Leonard already likes Bruce-and-Hulk, so he's trying to be friendly. But he backs right down when Bruce flibbers, and a genuine creep won't do that.
2) It may be spillover from the fact that Bruce is not used to people being nice to him, wanting to know him, or taking "I'm uncomfortable" body language as a signal to back off. Bruce is quietly, thoroughly freaking out.
This introduction would have been so much easier if their emotional genius had been allowed to Front in a social situation, instead of leaving the awkward scientist try to do things he sucks at. Hulk stays out of the lab, but Bruce won't stay out of things Hulk would do better.
>> (nobody is as awesome a psychologist as Dr. G, <<
I think he's the best I've found, yes.
>>and ALL OF THE AVENGERS WOULD FRIGGIN BENEFIT from time with Dr. G and probably Simon and Tolli but alas,<<
Yes they would. Not to mention a case of The Big Yellow Workbook.
>> unless Dr. Strange can planeshift the lot of them to Terramange it's not gunna happen :( ) <<
Dr. G is compassionate but not stupid. No way would he jump into a world as fucked up as Marvelverse. Send EFA materials, yes. Dr. Strange would get the care package and go "What the fuck is this?" and ignore it. SHIELD would pick it up, Coulson would log it, flip through the books ... and memorize them.

Aww. <3

Bummer.

You're welcome if you can find a portal.

Yay! :D
For what it's worth, there should be a half-price sale in Shiv's thread in mid-November and the holiday poetry sale in everything from 2016 in mid-December. Some folks are already talking about pooling resources. So if you can free up a few bucks, those are opportunities to magnify the effect.
