"For Midgard!" yelled Thor as he gave Abomination a fully charged load of lightning. Executioner made a move to decapitate the thunderer but Hawkeye's arrow hit him and exploded before he even got close.

"Where the hell is Hulk!" shouted Ironman over the fighting. The Masters of Evil had once again tried to ambush the Avengers but their plan was going downhill as the Avengers were still kicking their butts.

"We are leaving. But heed my warning, we will be back Avengers." said Enchantress before disappearing in a swirl of gold smoke soon followed by her accomplices.

"That went well" said Wasp returning to full size.

"Indeed. It would be wise of us to not let our guard down any time soon." said Panther.

"I agree friend. But that still leaves us with the question where mighty Hulk is" elaborated Thor.

"Maybe that Enchantress babe teleported him to Asgard again" said Hawkeye.

"JARVIS find a lock on the Hulk's Avengers ID card." ordered Tony. The monitor started changing pictures of locations as it began to pinpoint the ID card's signal. The flashing scenes paused on the image of Hulk sitting calmly on the edge of the Grand Canyon.

"What the hell is he doing?" asked Tony squinting his eyes to see better.

"I'd say he's doing nothing." said Steve

"You have got to be kidding me, every year he does this!" complained Tony.

"Does what?" asked Wasp.

"He just gets up and disappears the whole day" explained Tony.

"Alright then, I'll go get him" said Wasp as she walked to the hanger to board the jet.

Janet couldn't help but wonder why the Hulk would just leave without telling the team. Out of everyone on the team she felt she was the one more closer to Hulk.

She patched into Hank's frequency, "Hey Hank. You wouldn't happen to know why Hulk would go today would you?"

"Nope. Hold on a second and let me check something" The sound of fast paced keyboard punching was heard over the line. "Jan you still there?"

"Yeah"

"Okay it says that this is the day that Bruce was washed with gamma rays which resulted in the creation of Hulk" said Hank.

"Holy cow!" exclaimed Janet.

"What is it Jan?" asked a worried Hank

"I know why Hulk always leaves on this day"

Hulk stared at the sun as it was close to setting. He had left the Avengers to have some time to himself and a break from all the fighting. He loved smashing, without a doubt, but on some days he just wanted to relax. His tranquillity was disturbed when the Avengers jet landed.

"Great, there goes my day-off" grumbled Hulk.

Janet walked out the jet with a box in hand. She sat beside Hulk and looked over the canyon, "That's a beautiful sight"

"Whatever you say" replied Hulk with his arms folded over his chest.

"You don't have to spend this day alone Hulk. You have friends that care about you." softly spoke Janet.

"Yeah, like who?" asked Hulk.

"Me" said Janet as she opened the box to reveal a cake with green frosting and had the words 'happy b-day Hulk' written.

Hulk sat there shocked. He slowly accepted the cake from Janet's tiny hands and stared at the cake.

"Remember that there are people who care Hulk" said Janet sitting up turning to walk back to the jet.

"Wasp" called Hulk

She turned around, "Yeah?"

Hulk looked at her with a grin, "Want some cake"?

She put on a cute smile and sat back down beside him.

"Thank you" he said sincerely

"Hey, what are friends for?"

The End
