Jane hugged Bruce. "It's good to see you with clothes on."

"Thanks." Bruce blushed.

"Fury must hate when the Avengers have to subdue a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent," said Jane. "I like Corbert. I hope he gets better."

"Me, too."

"Darcy is a bit shaken up by the whole Corbert thing, so she's here, too, or will be if she can find her way back from the ladies room?"

Darcy ran over. "This place is huge. Hello, Dr. Banner. Why are you covered in sawdust?"

"I found woodworking equipment and was trying it out," Bruce explained.

"Are you sure that's wise?" asked Darcy.

"The Avengers are here and you have your tazer should I cut my finger off and need subduing," Bruce teased.

Darcy said, "That isn't funny."

"I live in New York," said Bruce. "I, somehow, manage to get a cab and ride the subway without anyone dying. I've hadn't had an incident since the Helicarrier exploded around me. Since then, the Hulk has only come out to play when I've asked him."

Clint yelled, "Get it while it's hot!"

Bruce walked over to the grill and got two burgers and a bun. Then he put cheese, mustard and ketchup on his double-meat burger. Finally, he found a seat and started on his sandwich.

Darcy joined him with her single hot dog. "You could take another bun. It would be easier to eat."

Bruce took a big bite. "I'm good."

Darcy said, "Thanks, again, for saving my life."

"The Avengers are a team," said Bruce.

"When Corbert went after me, I didn't know if he was going to rape me or kill me. He had his hands on my shirt when you tackled him to the ground."

"My therapist has me watch tapes of the Hulk, but it's still kinda surreal to me." Bruce had seen the tape of Jane's lab from the beginning of the Corbert's ransacking the building until her camera failed. Corbert was so big that he gave the Hulk a piggyback ride. However, the Hulk was stronger. Then the other Avengers also did their parts.

"You're seeing a therapist; then go ahead use the carpentry equipment," said Darcy. "I stuck my foot in my mouth, didn't I?"

"I'm used to people treating me like I'm fragile," said Bruce. "Or worse, a time-bomb."

Steve sat down on the other side of Bruce with his pile of burgers.

"See Steve has one burger for each bun," teased Darcy.

Bruce finished off his burger and walked over to the fixings table. "I'll have a bun with no burger. Wouldn't want to throw the bun to burger ratio off."

"No, you wouldn't," teased Pepper, who was holding a beer. "Tony is quite anal." The beer in her hand couldn't have any thing to do with Tony being anal. Obviously not.

After sticking his tongue out at Darcy, he made himself a very messy cheese sandwich then he got himself 3 single meat hamburgers and put fixings on them. He returned to his seat by the pool.

Steve asked, "How's the therapy going?"

"We talk," said Bruce. "Since she has only filmed the Hulk once, we also looked at videos from the Chitauri invasion. She found a home video from when I battled the Abomination, but she says it's too distressing and it could cause me to backslid."

"You said I not the other guy," commented Steve.

"I did." Bruce smiled. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

"I'm no doctor," said Steve. "But the Hulk follows directions, not only follows directions but now looks at me for guidance. He's making amazing progress."

After eating his cheese sandwich then a burger, Bruce got a soda from the cooler. "So do you think Clint is happy about bringing his own beer?"

"Not really," said Steve. "Especially since Pepper and Natasha are drinking it all. I don't drink, so I'm happy with all the flavors of soda pop Tony brought."

"If I become big all the time, you won't treat me like Corbert?"

"Only if you try to rape Darcy, then watch out." Steve smiled. "Big or small, you're one of the good guys. Did you see that thing on Corbert? He could have ripped Darcy in two." There Steve went pulling his foot in his mouth, yet, again.

"I'm sure Darcy doesn't want to hear about it," said Bruce.

Steve saluted Darcy. "Sorry, ma'am."

"Thanks to the Hulk," said Darcy. "I didn't even need a stitch, but I'll never forget that look in Corbert's eyes. Bruce, will your therapist mind if I ask to borrow her?"

"She's in New York. We have our sessions by video cam, but I can hold your hand while you talk to her if you want," suggested Bruce.

Thor and Erik arrived with more beer. After tossing her empty in the recycle bin, Pepper redirected Tony by sitting on his lap. Didn't she realize she was part of the problem? Bruce just shrugged his shoulders and returned to eating his burgers.

After lunch, Bruce called Susanne. "I know my appointment isn't until Monday, but my friend could use some crisis intervention."

"Tony?" asked Susanne over the phone.

"No, Darcy Lewis," explained Bruce. "She was attacked by a 20 foot man. His size alone destroyed the lab and Jane was very lucky to have off-site backups of her work. He went after Darcy and she tries to sound brave, but I know she's hurting."

Later that day, Darcy and Bruce sat on the bed in Bruce's bedroom in the mansion. After he used the wireless mouse to open the video chat, he held Darcy as she told Susanne what happened and cried.

Author's Note: I only know the Avengers from the movie, but I found Gargantua in Wikipedia and decided to use name Corbert because I'm lazy.
