Quiet the Mind

~And there was hope behind the suffering joke~

A small room, covered in soft carpets. Scented candles in decorative holders, lighting the room with a dull glow. Bruce smiled. Perfect. Settling on his yoga mat, he slipped into a subconscious state.

The first thought is a few hours ago when he and Tony were joking in the lab. Discussing their 'Science Bros' ideas and each working on their own projects. Tony was also trying to convince Bruce that Hulking out wasn't all that bad. He needed to let go of the stress and become more used to the Hulk. Bruce just shook his head, a sad smile on his face. Tony, bless him, didn't understand. The Hulk only brought destruction. Nothing could change that.

~Hold back the fear, hold back the melancholy~

Bruce slipped into a different memory, which ended up being a series of memories. Holding hands with Betty. Betty, bleeding out on the ground because of him. Tony, laughing with him. Tony, not judging him. Last night's nightmare, Tony lying dead on the ground. Harlem broken around him, the Abomination dead on the ground. The Avengers, dead on the ground in front of him. The Avengers smiling around him, laughing. His friends, welcoming him and not judging him for what he is.

~Hold back the darkness, hold back the melancholy. It's a crime, quiet the mind~

Bruce drifted out of his semiconscious state. Stretching out his stiff limbs, he smiled. For once, he had found a place where he belonged.
