Hey ya'll! So the first part of this story is one of those 'if you don't like to read mature stories, then don't read that part' kind of parts, so just scroll down a little bit. If you don't mind, then enjoy! We find out what Tony was planning (Though a few of you probably knew, I know one of you did). And we get to see Erik Selvig (And some more of Thor and Kayla getting along).
So, when I was figuring out the EpiPen for Bruce and Minnie I once thought to myself, what would happen if he used it too late? Like not all the way too late, but when there was the presence of the Hulk in Bruce's mind? Weeeeelllll I couldn't help myself and I wrote about it in this chapter. I know, I'm weird, but, you know you were wondering too. You are now anyway. Aside from me being a little weird (Again, I couldn't help but wonder!) I hope you like this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Marvel. I thin if an actress were going to portray Minnie it would be either Amy Adams or Ilsa Fisher (With red hair, though I love her as a brunette too). I love them both. But, sadly, Minnie shall never be in a Marvel movie. Le sigh.
"Hey Baby?" I asked Bruce that night as he got into bed. I was brushing out my hair, standing next to the closet.
"Hm?" he asked.
"Can we talk about Amanda?"
"What about her?" he asked and I sighed.
"Well, I've been thinking, I mean, she's only sixteen, and her dad is obviously not going to take her back in, So, I mean, I love having her around, and so does Kayla, and you seem to like her too. I think we should ask her to stay with us. I mean, obviously when she's not at school." I said and he looked at me before he smiled.
"That's a great idea." he said.
"Really?" I asked with a smile.
"What did you think I was going to say, no?" he asked and I turned around with a grin.
"I don't know, I mean I figured you'd say yes, but it is asking a lot, taking in another kid and all." I shrugged; his eyes were no longer on me though, rather on the pajamas I had bought earlier in the day.
"Uh huh." he said and I looked down at the white camisole and shorts I was wearing.
"Like it?" I asked as I walked over to him.
"What's not to like?" he asked as I climbed onto the bed. I grinned as I leaned over and kissed him. "You know," he said between kisses. "Sometimes, I wonder if," he groaned lightly as I lightly bit down on his lower lip. "You wear, things like this, to get your way." he pulled back from kissing me as I straddled his lap. I smiled and kissed him again deeply before I pulled back.
"Does it work?" I asked and he raised his eyebrows.
"It's work better if you weren't wearing anything at all." he shrugged and I hit his shoulder lightly, making him laugh before I leaned in. I made sure my lips brushed his ears as I spoke.
"That can be arranged." I said softly, before lightly biting his ear.
That was all it took, the next second he had flipped me so I was laying with my back on the bed, he was over me, kissing me deeply and passionately, I ran a hand through his hair, and used the other one to pull on the hem of his shirt, lifting it up, he finally pulled back to pull his shirt over his head and drop it on the floor. I ran my hands up his chest, over his dark chest hair, then back down, to the waistband of his pajama pants. His thumbs found the waistbands of my shorts, and he slid them down, I lifted my hips letting him get them down to my thighs, then slide them down from there. I pulled him back down to meet my lips, his hands sliding up my camisole, lightly brushing over very sensitive flesh.
I slid my hand below the waistband of his pajama pants and lightly grasped his hardening member. He buried his face in my neck, breathing hardly as I ran a hand over him slowly, him groaning in response. I did that twice more, and dragged my thumbnail lightly down the underside before he pulled away quickly. I sat up in surprise as he moved from me to the other side of the bed, and then realized he was going for the EpiPen.
I noticed the emerald in his eyes; he plunged the tip of the needle into his arm and quickly pushed the release, his hands trembling. I pulled the camisole off and tossed it at him, successfully getting his attention again. His eyes were still green, and I hesitated until he grabbed my legs and pulled me over to him. I giggled as I wrapped my legs around his waist, his lips meeting mine frantically, my hand pulling at his pajama pants, before I pulled back.
"You're overdressed." I said and he pulled away to quickly take care of that. He came back and I noticed his eyes were still green. "Baby-" I said, before he cut me off, capturing my lips with his, he lifted my leg over his hip and I groaned deeply into the kiss as he moved into me. I held his shoulders, digging my nails into them as our bodies moved together, getting used to the rhythm.
It had been awhile for us, something always ended up happening or coming up, as these things do when you're married with a kid, but she seemed content in sleeping in her new room, down at the other end of the house. I'd have to remember to thank Dallas for that, but to be honest, at the moment, that wasn't what my mind was on.
We lay there afterwards, on top of the blankets while I lightly ran my finger up and down his chest. "I hate to say I told you so..." I said looking up at him. He looked down at me and I smiled.
"About what?" he asked as I lightly kissed his chest.
"About your liking what else I bought." I said and he smiled. We both sat up and he retrieved his boxers from the edge of the bed they had landed on. "Can I ask you something?" I asked as he moved over to me and kissed me gently.
"Hmm?" he asked and I looked at his eyes. They were back to his normal deep brown color.
"Did I just have sex with you, or the other guy?" He let out an astonished sounding laugh as he lay back on the bed next to me. "I'm serious." I said as he put a hand over his eyes, and then squeezed the bridge of his nose. "It was… Different!"
"What do you mean different?" he asked and I crossed my arms.
"Well, for one, your eyes were bright green." I said pointedly. "Not to mention you didn't talk the entire time, and you... I don't know, you moved differently." I said with a small shrug.
"If you were having sex with the other guy I think you would have noticed." he said and I swatted his chest lightly.
"Come on Bruce," I said as I looked down at him. "I'd like to know who it was I just had sex with." He smiled lightly as he looked up at me before he sighed.
"You had sex with me." he said, running his hand up my thigh. "Just like every other time."
"But your eyes-"
"I will admit, we waited a little longer than usual to take care of my problem, so there might have been a small bit of his influence, but it was me. I was completely aware, and in control."
"You promise?" I asked and he nodded.
"Would I lie to you about that?" he asked and I smiled as I leaned down and kissed him lightly. "I mean, maybe he was more aware of everything, but it was definitely me."
"What?" I asked incredulously and he looked up at me innocently.
I couldn't help but smile at Thor and Kayla, she had finally found someone (Aside from the dog) who matched her energy level.
"Sooo," Dallas said as he walked into the kitchen in the mansion. I was sitting at the counter, drinking a cup of coffee and occasionally watching Thor and Kayla out the window. "How did you enjoy your first night in the new apartment?"
"I think I had sex with the Hulk." I admitted and he looked at me with a little shock and a lot of curiosity.
"Is that even possible?" he asked and I shrugged.
"Bruce claims it was him, but... It was different." I nodded and he let out a small laugh.
"Damn girl." he said and sat down at the counter with me. "Tell me everything."
"One second; Jarvis, if Tony ever hears a word of this, I'll make sure to spill water on your circuits." I said looking at the ceiling.
"I'll mute my systems for a few minutes Mrs. Banner." the AI promised and I smiled.
"Thank you Jarvis." I said, and then looked back at Dallas. I told him about how long Bruce waited before using the EpiPen, and how different it had been with him because of it.
"So he was like, half Bruce, half Hulk?" Dallas asked and I nodded.
"Like the Hulk in Bruce's body." I explained and he let out a laugh.
"Well how was it?"
"Oh, it was good, don't get me wrong." I said with a small laugh. "But uh, it was different." I shrugged.
"Better?" he prompted and I laughed.
"I wouldn't say that." I shrugged. "More... driven."
"He drove you hard huh?" he asked with a wink and I laughed. The doorbell rang and I stood up.
"Jarvis?" I asked.
"Dr. Erik Selvig, Mrs. Banner." he said and I went to the door out of habit.
"Old habit." I shrugged to Pepper who was coming out of the office I knew she worked in. "It's your house, sorry." I said and she shook her head.
"Oh please Honey," she said shaking her head. "It's your home too whenever you're here and you know that." she said as I opened the door.
"Dr. Selvig," I smiled at the older gentleman.
"Ms. Strong, right?" he asked as he stepped in and shook my hand.
"Actually it's Mrs. Banner now." I said and he raised his eyebrows.
"Well, congratulations are in order." he kissed my knuckles and I laughed. "Ah, and the always lovely Mrs. Stark." he smiled at Pepper who grinned and walked over to him.
"Good to see you again Erik." she said as she hugged him.
"Well, why don't I show you to your room?" I asked and he smiled gratefully at me. I led him upstairs to the bedroom I knew he would be staying in, and he thanked me.
"So, Mrs. Banner for how long now?" he asked as I led him back downstairs to say hello to Thor before taking him to the second basement where Tony's lab was.
"Three years, almost four." I nodded and he smiled.
"That's very nice." he said and I nodded. "You must love him."
"Well I married him didn't I?" I asked with a small laugh. "Thor! Quit battling Ice Giants and come say hi to Erik!" I called to him. He and Kayla ran over and Thor picked Selvig up in one of those rib dislocating hugs.
"Jane sends her love," Selvig said to Thor who smiled lightly. "And Darcy recommends you pick up a damn phone sometime." he said and Thor laughed.
"She has quite a way of stating her thoughts." Thor said.
"And who is this?" Selvig asked and Kayla smiled at him from under Thor's helmet.
"My name is Makayla Antonia Banner, my Mommy and Daddy call me Kayla, and Thor calls me Maiden My-Kayla warrior of Midgard." she said as she stuck her hand out.
"Dr. Erik Selvig," he said with a smile. "It's an honor."
"What kind of doctor? Do you sew people up and stuff?"
"No."
"Do you cut people up?" she asked curiously and I laughed.
"Makayla!" I said in shock and she looked at me seriously.
"Its Maiden My-Kayla warrior of Midgard Mommy." she said and I smiled.
"Of course it is." I kissed her forehead. "Forgive me."
"I'm a scientist." Erik said in amusement.
"So is my Daddy, his name is Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, do you know him?"
"As a matter of fact, I do." he said.
"Your first name is Robert?" I heard Tony ask and I turned around to see him and Bruce standing there.
"That's Googlable." Bruce said, holding a bowl of popcorn. He popped a few pieces into his mouth as Dr. Selvig walked over and extended his hand to Tony.
"Good to see you Tony."
"Good to see you not under the influence." Tony grinned. "Really man, cosmic cube addiction is nothing to scoff at." he shook his head.
"Ah, well, if there's a support group for that, let me know. I'll be the first to sign up."
"Yeah and Hawkeye will be a close second." Tony grinned.
"Dr. Banner," Selvig said shaking his hand. "Good to see you again, I was just getting to know your charming wife, and amusing daughter."
"Daddy, I'm a warrior!" Kayla said jumping up and down.
"You sure are kiddo." he said chuckling at her as the oversized helmet fell off.
"Oops." she said and picked it up quickly.
"We'll be in the lab." Tony said gesturing to Selvig who followed.
"Thor, call Jane." he pointed to Thor who nodded.
"He'll have to wait until Amanda gets off the phone with her boyfriend." I chuckled and Bruce shot me a look.
"She's too young for a boyfriend." he insisted.
"I had boyfriends when I was her age." I said shaking my head. "Go on to the lab; go do your science stuff." I said shooing him away.
"Oh, wait, one thing." he said and I looked back at him. He caught my lips with his, and pulled me into a long kiss before I finally broke away.
"Go." I said with a smile. He followed Tony and Erik to the lab and I shook my head as I set about making everyone lunch.
"So, let me get this straight, you want to erase the part of your memory that stored the information of the locations of all of the superheroes who were forced to register because of the superhero and mutant registration act?" Selvig asked Tony who nodded.
"SHIELD had me design a database for them, to keep all of the superhero locations a secret from HAMMER who is pushing this fifty state initiative crap." Tony explained. "Well, HYDRA somehow found out Bruce's location when he was supposed to be under the radar, and they induced a little freak out." he gave Bruce a good thump on the shoulder. "It's good for him every now and again." Tony said and Bruce rolled his eyes. "Problem is, they uh, got a little piece of him this time."
"You destroyed the database though and all the files." Selvig said and Tony nodded.
"And I hacked into every government agency and destroyed their mutant files too." he said and Bruce looked at him in surprise, he didn't know Tony had done that. "If I could get in, there's no knowing who else could." Tony rationalized and Bruce smiled lightly.
"So what's the problem?"
"The problem is," Tony said, pointing to a screen where a video clip of Selvig came up from Stark Towers, building the porthole that had let the Chitauri into our world. "Under the right circumstances, anyone can be convinced to do anything." he said as Selvig stared at the video. Tony wiped his hand across the screen in front of him and the video on the wall turned off. "Barton told Loki all of the SHIELD secrets, you opened the door to a knocking threat. I don't want to be the one who has every hero and mutant sent to the gas chambers." he explained.
"You're talking about induced amnesia, if it's done right!" Selvig protested and Tony stared at him.
"Yeah." he said simply.
"Do you have anything to add to this?" Selvig asked Bruce who was chewing on a piece of popcorn.
"I think it's the right thing to do." Bruce said finally. "Granted, doing it right is going to be hard, but if we can do it, we can draw both HYDRA and HAMMER out and shut them down." he said. Tony shot his friend a smile and Selvig stared down at him.
"You just want them to not know where your little girl is." he said finally and Bruce smiled lightly, looking down, before looking back at the scientist.
"They know exactly where she is. But her location wouldn't have anything to do with what Tony knows." Bruce explained. "I could send them away, keep them safe." he shrugged and Selvig stared down at him.
"So why don't you?" he asked and Bruce's eyes darkened. "HYDRA figured out where you were, got you to turn and took your DNA. And yet your family is still upstairs, running around like it's the fourth of July." he shrugged. "Dr. Banner they should not be here for this. When they find out what Tony's done to himself, they will come after us and don't think for a second-"
"It's all taken care of Erik." Tony interrupted. "The only thing we need to worry about is erasing that memory, but not turning me into Joe Average."
"We're going to need a medical doctor..." Selvig said after a moment of thought. "And perhaps a hypnotist." he turned to a white board and pulled the cap off of a marker and started to write on it. Bruce slowly let go of the metal arm of the chair he had been sitting in. The impression of his hand squeezing the metal was forever imprinted in it now. He glared at the back to Selvig's head and then looked to Tony.
"It's all taken care of." Tony promised his friend.
