"What! What happened?!" Tony asked
"He did not turn back." Thor exclaimed
"What!" Natasha shouted
"He did not turn back into Bruce." Thor said
Now
"What do you mean he didn't turn back?!" Tony shouted
"When the Hulk was shot with the sedative he just staggered around the cage. He didn't turn back into Bruce. It was like the sedative didn't effect him at all." Thor stated
"What." Natasha gasped
"I thought the sedative was supposed to knock him out and turn him back." Steve said
"Yes it was. But it didn't." Thor said "And they barely even had enough time to get the cage shut before he banged on the door and cracked the glass."
"What! He cracked the glass." Tony said
"Yes." Thor replied
"I thought the cage was supposed to withstand the Hulk." Clint said
"It was." Thor said
"Isn't the cage made of five inches of bulletproof glass?" Clint asked
"Yes." Thor said
"Then how was he able to crack it?!" Clint said
"I do not know." Thor replied "I was barely able to break through the cage when it was only a couple inches of glass."
"This is bad." Tony said
"Did he crack it anymore?" Clint asked
"No he did not. Only that once...I think." Thor exclaimed
"Okay. Good." Clint said
"Did Asgard find anything yet?" Steve asked looking up at Thor
"I do not know." Thor responded
"Okay ummmm...Well it's only been a few minutes right. So we just need to wait like an hour or two and he will be back to Bruce...Right?" Tony said
"But it has been a little over an hour since he turned into the Hulk." Thor stated
"What! It's been an hour already!" Tony shouted
"Yes. I am afraid so." Thor said
"What do we do?" Steve asked
"Well we could just wait." Clint suggested "I mean he has to turn back eventually...Right?"
"Yeah." Tony said
"Well, what if he doesn't." Steve questioned
"Don't say that...he will." Tony replied
"Tony. The sedative didn't work." Steve exclaimed "And they said that it was proven to be 84% effective. So if the sedative didn't turn him back...I don't know what will."
"That's only 84% Rodgers. We still have a chance." Tony said, closing his eyes
"Tony you have to consider that he might not turn back." Steve said
"No!" Tony shouted, hands in fists, squeezing his eyes shut "I can't!"
"...I can't consider that my best friend will be gone forever..." Tony whispered
"I know...I'm sorry." Steve said looking down
"Well, what do we do?" Clint asked and then turned to Natasha "Natasha?"
"I-I don't know." Natasha said, looking down
"Well we have to do something." Tony said, opening his eyes
"How about we just help with the sedative. That is what is supposed to make him turn back anyway. So if we can find out why it didn't work maybe we can find out a way to fix it so that it will work." Clint exclaimed
"Yeah." Steve said looking up "We can help with the sedative and do as much as we can and...and hopefully we can get him to turn back."
"Yeah." Tony said
"But what if we can not get the Hulk to turn back into friend Bruce?" Thor asked and everyone went silent
"Well we're just not going to let that happen." Tony exclaimed after a moment, standing up "We are going to make a new sedative...It is going to work...And we will get Bruce back."
"Yeah." Steve replied also standing up
"It couldn't be that hard." Tony said nervously "Right."
"We will get friend Bruce back Stark." Thor exclaimed as he stood up, putting his hand on Tony's shoulder
"Yeah don't worry." Steve said
"Okay. Thanks guys." Tony replied
"Okay." Clint said as he stood up "How are we going to this?"
"Well we probably need to find out how strong he is and how much it will take to put him to sleep." Tony stated
"Yeah." Clint said "Anything else."
"The doctors will probably know." Tony said "Since they make the sedatives and everything."
"Yeah. Okay" Steve said and turned to Clint, and Natasha "Me, Tony, and Thor will go talk to Fury and start working on the sedative. You guys stay here."
"Why do we have to stay here?" Clint asked
"You are both hurt...and if another incident happens I don't want you guys to be in the middle of it." Steve said
"Okay fine." Clint replied "We'll stay here."
"Okay. Just call if you need anything." Tony said and threw a phone at them
"Where did you get this?" Clint asked, holding up the cell phone
"I keep an extra one with me." Tony stated "Oh and I'm first on the contact list by the way...well I'm the only one on the contact list but you know what I mean."
"Of course you are." Clint said
"Ok call if you need anything." Tony said, walking towards the door and then turning back to them "Bye!"
"Bye." Steve said as he followed Tony
"Bye." Clint replied, as Tony, Steve, and Thor walked out and shut the door
"Okay Natasha what's wrong." Clint asked after a few moments, turning to Natasha
"Nothing." Natasha replied
"I know when something is wrong Natasha...Tell me." Clint said as he sat down next to her
"... I'm scared." Natasha admitted, head down, tears pricking at her eyes "Bruce may never come back...an-and I never told him how I feel...I-I just...I just can't lose him now..."
"Natasha we will find out what happened to him. We will fix this...I promise." Clint replied
"Bu-but what if we can't...what if he stays the Hulk forever..." Natasha said
"Natasha." Clint said "We will get him back. Okay?"
"Okay." Natasha said after a couple moments, head still down
"It's going to be okay." Clint said and hugged her
With Tony, Steve, and Thor
"So where do we go?" Steve questioned
"I want to see Bruce first. Then we'll go to Fury to talk about the sedative." Tony said
"Okay." Steve replied and then stopped "Where is he?"
"What?" Tony asked turning around
"Where are they holding the Hulk?" Steve asked again
"In the new cage they built." Tony said
"Yeah but I don't exactly have this place memorized." Steve exclaimed
"I don't either." Tony said "But Jarvis does."
"Who's Jarvis?" Steve asked
"Yes who is this Jarvis you speak of?" Thor said
"He is my AI." Tony replied
"Oh." Steve said
"What is an AI?" Thor asked confused
"AI stands for artificial intelligence. It is like—you know what I'll tell you later." Tony replied and then looked up to face a metal door "Hey look we're here. That's convenient."
"Yeah." Steve said as they pushed open a door to the room holding the Hulk
"...Bruce." Tony whispered, looking at the Hulk who was roaring and banging against the glass cage
"That's bigger then I thought it would be..." Steve stated as he stared at the huge crack in the glass
"Yes...It is." Thor replied, staring at the cracked glass
"Yeah." Tony said, looking away from the cage
"Let's go." Tony said as he turned
"Okay." Steve replied and they walked out of the room
"Where are we going?" Thor asked as they walked down the hallway
"We're going to talk to Fury about the sedative and Bruce." Tony exclaimed
"Oh...right." Thor said as they turned a corner
"Okay, so Jarvis says that Fury is in the wing and the wing is...this way." Tony said and they turned down the right hallway
Back with Clint and Natasha
"Thank you Clint." Natasha said after a few moments "I don't know where I would be without you."
"You're welcome." Clint responded, still hugging her
They broke their hug after a couple moments and then it was silent
"Are you sure that we can get him back?" Natasha questioned
"Don't worry. We will." Clint said
"Okay... Thank you." Natasha said
"Where did the others go?" Natasha asked
"They went to see what they could do to help with the sedative." Clint replied
"Oh, right." Natasha said
"We should go help." Natasha said and stood up, grabbing her crutches
"No." Clint replied, pushing her back down "We have to stay here."
"Why?" Natasha asked
"What if another incident happens? We are both hurt and have nothing to defend ourselves with if something happens. And we both need rest." Clint exclaimed "We have to stay here."
"Fine." Natasha said and rested her head on his shoulder "I'll stay here with you."
"Thank you." Clint responded and put his head on hers
Back with Tony, Thor, and Steve
"I still do not get who this Jarvis person is." Thor said, confused
"Jarvis is not a person." Tony replied
"I do not understand." Thor said, stopping
"He is like a computer program." Tony said, stopping and turning around
"What is a computer program?" Thor asked
"It's a-." Tony began but then stopped when he heard footsteps
Tony, Steve, and Thor turned to the sounds to face someone unexpected
"Hello...brother."
