If you recognise, I don't own.
Hi, I'm Bruce… You probably know me better as the Hulk… Well, the Big Guy and I don't always see eye to eye… Erm, that's not right… Let me start over.
I once told my friends that I can control the Hulk because I'm always angry. Well, that's a lie. There, that's a better start.
The truth is, I'm a brony. I used to be angry all the time, but the Other Guy didn't like it. So I tried to rid myself of all emotion. He didn't like that either. Then one day, back in 2010, when I was on the run after the Harlem incident, a nice little family let me stay in their home for the night. I was sleeping on the couch, caught in a terrible nightmare, when the little girl, no more than six, wandered out and turned on the television to watch her new favorite show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I'd seen glimpses of the older shows, and their mind-numbing stupidity and diabetes-inducing sweetness. I didn't want to go back to my horrible dream, so I stared blankly at the screen. Before I knew it, it was my new favorite show, too. It was something anyone could understand, with great messages and relatable characters. In particular, I saw myself in Fluttershy. The Other Guy likes Ponies too, but he's more of a Rainbow Dash fan than I am.
The next morning, I had to leave, so I did. I used the little money I had to purchase a broken laptop. It became my companion as I traveled to India. Like I had in Brazil, I rigged it up to connected to the internet, encrypted, so no one could find me. But instead of searching for a cure, I now watched my medicine: Friendship is Magic. I had to leave my laptop behind when S.H.E.I.L.D. came and got me. I hope the family I had stayed the night with had gotten some money from selling it.
Then I joined the Avengers and met Tony Stark, I realized that he was Pinkie Pie. Well, Pinkie, if she was a middle-aged alcoholic man. He wasn't afraid of me; he just wanted to be my friend. While he was hardly as social as Pinkie, he made up for it by being even crazier. And, he is always able to make me smile.
During the battle, when we all stood as one against Loki, I noticed that we were all the Mane Six, and Loki was Discord. Captain America, whom I idolized for many years, was Twilight Sparkle. Someone in a new world, adjusting to a new life, far from everyone he knew. Black Widow, with her feminine wiles, was Rarity; lady-like but far from helpless. Thor, with his competitiveness, steadfastness, athleticism, and beautiful hair was Rainbow Dash. Lastly, Hawkeye was Applejack. The most ignored member of the team, but also someone you could always count on to look ahead and give advice.
I also saw that, while we were the Mane Six, we did not always match up with our respective element. I was still Kindness, but Tony, after allowing all to move into his home and sharing everything he had, represented Generosity. Steve, although team leader, was the most "pure at heart" and was truly Honest. Thor, with his Asgardian past , was Magic. The two spies, however, were harder to place. After much deliberation, I realized that Clint, in his unwavering devotion to his partner, was Loyalty. Natasha, then, was left as Laughter. This didn't fit her at all. But after watching the season three finale, and living with Natasha for many months, I realized that she was not Laughter, but Optimism, Celestia's name for the last element. Despite her past, despite everything she's done, she still believes she can make up for all the wrong. She became a hero to atone. I feel that she has already made up for everything, and I hope to convince her of that someday.
Speaking of someday, I hope that I can come out to the team as a brony. Hopefully they won't mind, and maybe I'll even convert some of them.
AN: I got bitten by the inspiration bug, after listening to Smile and reading Bruce-centric fanfics. R and R!
