A/N: Hello lovelies! It's been awhile. Well not really it's only been a week but anyway I've figured I've kept you waiting long enough so here's the new story! This story is based off of issue #282 of The Incredible Hulk (1969) where after being defeated by the Leader; Bruce goes to the Avengers Mansion to track him down and ends up talking to Jennifer and apologizing for turning her in to a hulk.
They have this really deep conversation and it's so sweet how much they care about each other. If you find the issue at a comic book store I recommend you buy it because it's a really good read.
There are also a couple small references to my first fan fiction 'New Blood' so if you haven't read that go read it now and then you'll understand those references (see what I did there). Anyway I worked really hard on this and I hope you enjoy it :)
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing Marvel *sighs* But I wish I did.

Jennifer Walters/She Hulk. When he first read that on the digital file he immediately felt guilt swallow him whole. At the time he didn't think of the consequences of giving her his gamma irradiated blood but how was he suppose to? She had just been shot and was slowly dying in his arms. There was no way he was going to let her die on him. She was the only family he had. And there wasn't enough time to take her to a hospital.
Now five years later she lives here, in the Avengers tower with him and Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Even though she shows no pain or torture behind her sparkling green eyes and seems to have a more of a spring in her step whenever she's this She Hulk, he can't help but feel like one of those mad scientists who's turned someone he loves in to a monster.
Bruce laid in his bed staring at the ceiling trying to close his eyes and fall asleep already but is to busy remembering the girl who he would take out for ice cream. The girl he would talk on the phone with for hours. The girl he would comfort whenever her face was consumed by tears. He doesn't care if she's beautiful and intelligent and in control as She Hulk, a hulk's a monster no matter what. Eventually he did fall asleep only feeling like the word guilty was written all over his body.

A/N: So I figured it'd be a good idea to have a nice, short, slightly emotional chapter. The memories Bruce had in bed are references to ANimATion ImAgInAtIoN's 'Bruce Banner' story, which is one of my favorite stories. Here's the link to the Bruce Banner story.

Anyway, as usual review, follow and favorite if you enjoy this first chapter and tune in next Friday for Bruce and Tony's little session.
Also I know this was up awhile ago but before I did an edit I had all the stories from my favs so you guys wouldn't have to look for them. Then while editing I figured "I probably only need the Bruce Banner story." so I deleted the other links and then I realized I forgot to delete the warning about the last three being Bruce x Natasha fics and so I had to delete that immediately. So sorry about that whole mess up. Point is the chapters okay now (by my standards) so...see you next week.
