For the entire ride to India, Fury clued me in a little. He gave me details, stories, and tips. He also explained why there were no good shots of the doctor anywhere in my files.
It was because most of the time field agents only focused on The Hulk, not him. I thought that was exceptionally unfair. His work in gamma radiation is legendary and not just because of what happened to him as a result of his research.
Fury apologized to me about not being able to find a good photo of the un-Hulked doctor from our satellite cameras. He said that in India I wasn't going to find much technology, which made it near impossible to track him, but somehow, Shield had managed it.
It was a long flight but it went by quickly with all the information Fury was throwing at me.
The more he talked the more interested I became in this Mr. Banner. All the "super-hero's" of my time had their tales- but in a way...all of them were selfish. Captain America wanted to be in the army, so he volunteered for a dangerous procedure. Thor was a demi-god so he was naturally full of himself most of the time, and Iron Man was just an overly arrogant, but brilliant, Tony Stark in a metal suit- and this suit was just as shiny and gloating as his ego.
But this doctor was different. He did just as his title implied- he helped people. An experiment that was meant for advancing the human race went wrong and Dr. Banner risked his life to save another and paid the ultimate price.
He spent time perfecting his rage and once he thought that, for the most part, he was in control, he set out to care for people.
And so he did.
Now here I was going to India to track him down and tear him from what kept him stress-free. Just to bring him here. Into a lab again.
Hopefully the negotiating went smoothly otherwise I would have to use some...persuasion.
I never liked using my power on anyone, which annoyed Fury and Coulson to no end. It didn't feel like it was natural. People should be able to express themselves as fully as they see fit.
But if these expressions were threatening my life or someone else's I would have no choice...
A/N: I know, I know, I know, please don't be mad. I promise that the next chapter will have the much-anticipated meeting between Bruce and Magnea. I am writing it now. I just couldn't say that she had a mission and then BOOM kissing and blah blah blah…although that will come soon ;)
