Bruce woke up to find the sun just peeking over the lake he rubbed his eyes surprised how easily he had fallen asleep in the cabin giving the circumstances of being on the run. He stepped out of the room and proceeded into the main room where he could see Rick passed out on his computer. Bruce decided against waking him at this point and instead looked out the double doors that had the sun shining through it and for the first time since this whole thing started. He sighed breathing in the air wishing that Rick had cleaned more than he did. He went over and shook Rick awake.

Rick's head flew up like a gun went off and looked around the room with a high level of alertness "Oh Bruce hey buddy, finally woke up huh?"

Bruce got a confused look on his face "How long was I out?" he asked looking around flipping on the TV.

Rick looked at his watch "Well it's just past noon, so all night and all morning."

"Wow haven't slept like that in a long time" Bruce said taking a seat on a couch as the news played on the screen.

"So I got an anonymous tip last night that some general arrived in the city just before you got here" explained Rick who sat down across from Bruce in a recliner with the e-mail printed out in one hand and an energy drink in the other.

"Does this general have a name?" asked Bruce fearing that Ross would come from Rick's lips.

"Ross, arrived with a small army of guys..." everything after that Bruce missed, Ross had managed to be one step ahead of him, all that comfort ability that Bruce had felt was gone in a single instant. Bruce started looking around the cabin wondering if Ross was watching him right now ready to move in and take him once and for all. Bruce snapped back to what Rick was saying "According to whoever this tip came from he is working with a Glenn Talbot and is using some old military project from just after World War II to bring you in."

Bruce got up and looked outside a window "Who is the source?" he asked.

"No idea" replied Rick but he did forward a file on Mr. Talbot apparently he is currently seeing a young professor from NYU who ironically enough is related to our good general."

Bruce turned and grabbed the file from Rick's hand "Betty is here?" he asked himself knowing what the answer was going to be.

Rick stood up "I'm sensing some history here."

Bruce looked at him "We were together when the accident happened, haven't seen or talked to her since my first incident."

"Oh" said Rick turning and heading towards his room "Well if you still want to go see your buddy Sterns we can go today according to the tip Ross doesn't know you're here yet."

Bruce breathed out and closed his eyes and went to the computer and looked up Samuel Sterns one more time just to confirm all the information he needed. Of course at the top of his bio page was the fact that he worked in the science department at NYU meaning there was a really good chance that he could see Betty which would be really bad. Seeing Betty would be dangerous for plenty of reasons not just because he didn't want to put her in a position of maybe being around the Hulk but also because Ross would certainly have her under surveillance in case Bruce did in fact contact her.

Rick came out of the room dressed for the day and Bruce looked at him "Let's go" he said, there wasn't a choice he needed this cure to work and Sterns was the only hope he had of making it work.

Natasha was cleaning her pistols while Clint was channel surfing and finding absolutely nothing on "Why don't we ever get the nice hotels with HBO?" he asked with disappointment.

"Because the last time we did that you bought all the Pay per Views and put the bill on Shield" came Coulson's voice from the door to the room.

Clint shot up and Natasha aimed her pistol at him "How did you do that?" asked Clint calming down after seeing Coulson.

"Guess I have what the kids like to call skills. Any way I need you two ready for action, Banner will be heading into the city at some point today, we fed intelligence to the one who has been arranging trips for him" explained Coulson looking at the snacks that Barton had brought with him.

"Doesn't seem like the best idea to lead the big green monster into a tightly made city with an army of soldiers who with one wrong move would certainly make him angry" remarked Barton.

Coulson shook his head "He was already heading here, I simply gave him information that will hopefully keep him from Ross and his goons at least until Fury can convince the Security Council to end this operation entirely."

Natasha loaded up and put her pistols away "Have we confirmed what Ross got out of cold storage?" she asked.

"Yeah post World War II Super Soldier Serum some of the stuff that was made after Captain America disappeared" explained Coulson. "Just stick close to Ross for now and watch Blonsky, Shield has worked with him before and he is highly skilled and I happen to think that it's him getting the serum" said Coulson walking out of the room and leaving Barton and Natasha to their own devices.

Clint looked over to Natasha "Here I thought that keeping an eye on a giant green monster would be hard enough, now we have a general hell bent on capturing said monster and a juiced up super soldier."

"Shouldn't be as hard as Budapest was" she said jokingly.

"You always say that and it's always harder than Budapest" he replied.

Blonsky was aware before he was awake, he could hear monitors beeping, nurses and doctors chit chatting around him. Ross had come to visit him he could smell the stench of the General's expensive Cuban cigars. He opened his eyes and scanned the room, his vision was clearer than before, his hearing and sense of smell were even more sensitive. He set himself up from his bed and looked his body over. His body looked like it was twenty years younger, he was back in his prime and with all the skill he had mastered over his time. A doctor must have called Ross since he came walking to Blonsky before he could even stand up. "How do you feel?" he asked.

Blonsky looked at Ross and walked over to one of the large metal monitors that was beeping and punched a hole into it "I'd say I feel pretty damn good and ready for round 2."
