Sorry I've been so long guys. I've just been busy, especially with school ending soon and finals coming up. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this! So this is a One-Shot but maybe later I will make it into a story.
Skylar's eyes shot open as she heard loud stomping coming from her backyard. She pushed the covers off of her and looked at her alarm clock on her bedside, frowning. What could possibly be out there at midnight? Skylar slipped out of bed and grabbed her taser from underneath her pillow.
She carefully walked down her hallway, the noises getting louder. Skylar peeked out the window shade before dropping her taser and having to cover her mouth to keep from screaming. She slid down the wall, trying to slow her heart beat. The Hulk was in her backyard… the Hulk.
As if sensing someone was there, the noises stopped and Skylars breath caught in her throat. She was tempted to look again but decided that would be stupid. The silence continued for a good five minutes before curiosity got the best of Skylar and she peeked out the window again to see the Hulk shrinking to a normal sized person.
Skylar quickly got up and grabbed a blanket and some of her brother's old clothes before going outside. She laid the blanket on the man, since it was a bit chilly… didn't want him to get a cold. Laying the pile of clothes next to him, she went back inside and grabbed a jacket for herself and a book, not knowing how long it would be before the man woke up.
Walking back outside, she sat down against the house and opened the book, trying to read. Trying being the key word. Her mind kept going back to the Hulk and the mysterious man laying in her backyard. She kept trying to read before she realized that she was reading the same paragraph over and over again. Skylar rolled her eyes but froze when she heard a soft groan coming from the man.
She continued looking at the book until she heard a soft coughing coming from the man. Looking up she could see the man standing in front of her.
"This yours?" He asked, holding out the blanket.
"Yes, thank you." Skylar answered, standing up and taking the blanket from him. "Skylar Jones." She introduced herself, holding her hand out for a handshake.
The man looked at it for a second before taking it. Skylar noted that he seemed very shy. "Bruce Banner" He replied, "Thanks for your help."
"It's no problem." She gave him a small smile. "Do you need a ride somewhere?"
"No, its no problem. I'll just get a taxi." Bruce answered. Five minutes later, Skylar was watching the taxi drive away after having to convince Bruce to take her money for the taxi. How else was he going to pay for it? She laid the blanket on the back of the couch before grabbing her taser and going back to her bedroom.
When Bruce got back to the tower, he paid with the money Skylar gave him before stepping into the elevator.
"So glad to see you back Mister Banner." Jarvis's voice came from above and Bruce smiled.
"Thanks Jarvis, is there anyway I can get to my room without seeing Tony?" Bruce asked, hopefully.
"I'm sorry Mister Banner but I don't think that's possible." Jarvis answered and Bruce sighed just as the elevator doors opened.
"Hey Jolly Green Giant! Where have you been?" He can hear Tony yelling from the kitchen area, the sound of bottles clinking.
"I've been… busy." Bruce answers, feeling the fatigue catch up to him.
"Really? With what?" Tony asks, before stepping into view, a confused look on his face. "Those aren't the clothes you left with." Bruce sighs, somehow knowing this would happen.
"Look Tony, I'm really tired. I'm going to go to bed." Bruce avoids the topic before walking down the hallway to his room. Surprisingly Tony doesn't stop him and is actually silent for once. Bruce reaches his room and shuts the door softly behind him. He's out as soon as his head hits the pillow.
