Adam/Bruce looked back at the doctor. By now, Bruce had gotten bored of squeezing Adam's face, and his giant claws hung down limp by the boy's body. As the Doctor told them that he had the authority, Bruce nodded, saying "I understand mate, I do. I just don't think this little Sheila's gunna listen to ya. She's a bit rebellious!" He then proceeded to give him a one handed noogie, which involved grabbing Adam's entire head in his hand and rubbing the top of it with his thumb. Adam began to try as best he could to pull himself from Bruce's vice-like grip, but since his arms also felt like jelly, it just ended up looking like pathetic, feeble flailing about. "Ya' gonna struggle mate?! Stop tryin' ta rebel! Bruce looked back at the doctor, who looked like he was obviously trying as best as he could to keep a straight composure. "So, numbah 774, huh? Izzat me? Him? We the same person, what?"
"Bruce, we gotta sit down!" Adam said, between spasms.
"Wait, mate, I still got some questions I want answered!"
Adam got down to the floor, crawling to the bed while struggle against Bruce's absentminded noogie-ing. He clutched the sheet, then tried to bring his leg up onto the bed, and then he climbed onto it with as much of his limited strength as he could. He then struggled with Bruce to get into the proper seating position.
"So doc, can you answer my question, please?" He rested his elbows on Adam's shoulders, and interlocked his claws, placing them in front of his face in a pensive pose.
