Thanksgiving hadn't been something Teddy anticipated celebrating, and even now that he's here, it feels odd. Not just the fact that his jaw is wired shut and he's got a brace on his leg, but the fact that he was invited to Captain America's house and arrived to find the original Cap and Bucky and alternate universe Peggy Carter setting up a pretty impressive Thanksgiving buffet is just so surreal. Steve greets them at the door with a genuine smile and pats Billy on the shoulder and ushers them in to get drinks, and Teddy tells himself he's paranoid and Bucky isn't shooting him and Billy a sideways look warning them off of getting caught making out in any more closets, and then reminds himself that this is real life.

Kind of.

Instead of agonizing over what an appropriate tropical island equivalent of 'nice Holiday sweater' was, he let Billy dress him (also literally, see again: brace) and thinks they made the right call- the house is all warm wood craftsman, and the three heroes already there are dressed casually but nicely, and there are old photos and some pretty incredible drawings hanging up, which distract Teddy and Billy to the point of rudeness, except Steve seems all too glad to tell them stories and answer questions. Bucky chimes in to remind him of details and it's... it's maybe the coolest thing that has ever happened, other than discovering his connection to the Avengers.

It relaxes him, and Teddy types up short phrases and sentences on his iPad when he feels really compelled to contribute, keeps "Happy Thanksgiving" on his clipboard to copy and paste it when new people arrive. It doesn't take more than an hour for a pretty respectable number of people to show up, the chatter growing in volume, and even though it's been a pretty crappy couple of months, and a pretty rough couple of years, Teddy finds himself feeling pretty good.

"Doctor Banner." He was cordial, but still a little wary. Habits were hard to break, and he didn't know how Banner was feeling after the Halloween... incident. Now was as good a time as any to find out, right?

"Agent - Coulson," Bruce replies, nodding in acknowledgment. The guy looks pretty tentative about even approaching him to strike up a conversation - not that Bruce can blame him for that.

If anything, he doesn't fault him at all for being nervous. Maybe more people should take a page out of his book. He still doesn't understand why anyone thinks he's still a safe guy to be around.

"How are you feeling these days? Back to normal?" Or what might pass for normal. He really couldn't imagine what it might be like for the man, to have something like that inside of him. All psychological profiles were based on his behavior and not from actually talking about him so they were, by nature, incomplete.

"Normal's all relative when it comes to me, Agent," he replies, shoulders hunching forward in an unconscious habit of his typical posture.

The Hulk more than asserts himself; it strikes him as a tiny bit ironic that Bruce Banner falls more under the category of shrinking violet. But drawing less attention in his own direction is better, for now.

"That would be a way to put it." Despite the obvious problems, he had a great deal of respect for Banner. He'd tried to do good things for the world, even though the world hadn't been very kind to him.

"Have you met many people here, yet? I'm afraid I don't know how long you've been on the island."
