Hulk Nicknames The Avengers

by RobinXVIII

When the Hulk comes out to protect Bruce Banner it is up to the Avengers to calm him down. But what will happen when they find out what the Hulk calls them and how he feels about them?

10. Chapter 10

Steve

Taking a seat of one of the chairs and turning it slightly to face the Hulk, Steve thought about what had just been said.

He knew that Banner didn't really trust any of them. Something that Steve understood. He had never expected Banner to trust any of them. Steve had not even expected Banner to stay after New York. The fact that he had had taken them all by suprise and it had taken them all a little while to get used to the man. They were extra careful around the man, wary of causing a Code Green.

In fact as far as Steve knew only Clint and Tony seemed to seek out Banner's company.

Tony had been the one to convince Banner to stay in the first place and they both now spent a rather large amount of their time playing in one of the many labs at Avengers Tower. Steve had never quite understood what it was they were doing in there. (He was still catching up on all the time that he had lost.)

He wasn't sure what Clint and Banner did when they were together. They had grown closer a few months ago and the Archer now spent part of his time with the Doctor. They would be tucked away in Banner's lab, hiding out in one of their rooms or no one would be able to find them for hours, or days on end.

Nat was somewhat sacred of Banner after he'd Hulked-out on her and Thor seemed to prefer the Hulk to Banner.

Steve wasn't quite sure what he thought of Banner. He understood that what he did with Tony was important, but to Steve the Hulk was a more important member of the team. Maybe it was that, he thought. They had all accepted the Hulk but they hadn't accepted Banner. As their leader Steve always thought about what was best for the team and having the Hulk on their side was one of those things. But he had never thought about Banner. That was what Tony did.

It was time he thought about Banner and the Hulk as two different people. Maybe try and learn more about what it was that Banner did.

He sat and waited. Someone needed to speak but not him. He was meant to be their leader, but he had forgotten about Banner. And he couldn't forgive himself.
