In my search for my cousin, I often found myself on the battlefield. But it was strange that this green creature was beside me.
He aided me in battle. He called me Priestess, and I called him the Hulk.
There was a human soul inside him; I knew this, but at the moment he was so primal and so powerful.
As the battle ended, the Hulk seemed to calm, his vicious anger abating, and he became a man.
A handsome man.
I caught him in my arms and took him to my shrine.

Bruce woke in a shrine in front of the hearth. Above the hearth was the image of a woman with her hands to the sky. The shrine's kami? It looked like Inari, the Japanese goddess of the harvest.
He remembered slightly from when he was Hulk, fighting alongside a powerful warrior woman. A priestess.
What was her name? Oh, right, Billie.
A new find of Fury's. He, or rather, Hulk, had been sent to aid her. To join her to the Avengers.
Could he subject her to a life of fighting? Somehow he was ok with it. She was so strong, so beautiful, so powerful.
Bruce had seen her in action, and knew she could handle it.
"Oh look who's awake."
