As they rode, Bruce was clinging to the woman. He was terrified, considering they were going so fast down the expressway that the cars on either side of him were nothing but blurs, but at least the Other Guy was staying away. He tried not to do anything life threatening out of the fear that he would be pushed too hard.

"You doing alright, Dr. Banner?" Lennon shouted, her voice muffled by the helmet.

"I'm surviving." He replied through clenched teeth.

Traffic began to slow, and Bruce started to relax. He loosened his hold on the woman and flipped the visor up. Lennon was sitting quietly on the front of the bike, watching other cars like a hawk. He began thinking about what he would do once he got to the other Avengers. Would they be angry with him for what happened? Scared of him? They had been so cautious with him before, Tony Stark being the glaring exception of course, but they almost treated him like a child to keep the beast at bay, and although it hadn't been his fault, he did almost kill Natasha Romanoff. And the pilot. And a few other agents. And Thor. God, I've caused a mess.

He also started thinking about Lennon. He wasn't used to this much human compassion. Most people he met with either needed his help or wanted to kill him. She was such a good person to him. She had been so nice to him so far, and he had no idea why.

"Hey, is your dad going to be upset if you're not home?" The doctor asked, thinking back and remembering the way she had rushed him out of the house.

Lennon scoffed. "Probably. But, he can't say anything about it. I'm twenty six for fuck's sake. The only reason we live together is because he got evicted and needed a place to stay." She explained. "I'm too nice to him, honestly."

"What about your mother?" Dr. Banner asked. The moment the words were out of his mouth, he regretted them. He felt the woman tense up her entire body, and suck in a sharp breath. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I..."

"No it's okay." Lennon responded, her voice completely back to normal, as if he had never asked that question. "I don't know where my mom is. She ran off with some Australian billionaire and is probably sunbathing on a yacht in the middle of the Caribbean right now. She left my father and me when I was little. I don't remember much about her."

"And I'm guessing your relationship with your father is..." Bruce felt her relax her body and he felt the urge to tighten his grip on her. He had hit a sensitive spot and he felt guilty. "Strained?"

Lennon scoffed. "If you want to be polite about it. I hate the son of a bitch." She said flatly.

The way she spoke reminded him of how Natasha always acted. Heartless, like she didn't care about anything or anyone, although Bruce could tell that it hurt her. She would never admit to him that it hurt, because that was just the kind of person Lennon was.

As the pair came up toward New York, the doctor could see the destruction taking place already. The Other Guy roared in his head and he fought to keep him under control. He couldn't here. Not yet. Not with Lennon around. "Dear God."

"What the fuck." Lennon whispered at the same time. They got off of the bike and looked around. "What do we do, Bruce?" She asked him, unsure if she could trust what she was actually seeing.

Bruce looked away, looking around at the ruined buildings. He needed to find the others. The world needed all of them fighting together. It was the only chance they would have of survival. The doctor didn't want to fight, he didn't want the Other Guy to take control of his mind, but there was no choice here. The Hulk was already pounding in his head. "Lennon, you need to leave. I need to find the others." He told her, his voice urgent.

When there was no response, he turned around, only to find her kneeling on the ground a few feet away, crouched over the mangled body of a man. Her movements were jerky, and he could hear quiet hitches in her breath. Lennon was crying. With hesitant steps, he made his way to her and knelt down beside her. The sight was horrific. The man was almost completely ripped open, a huge piece of metal plunged straight through his chest. His eyes were open wide, as if he had seen the metal plate before it buried itself in his heart. Bruce looked up as a quiet sob escaped the young woman. There were tears pouring down her face, and her hand was covering her mouth, trying to quiet the crying. "Sam..." She whispered in an anguished tone, her shaking hand hovering over the man's chest.

"Lennon..." Bruce muttered, taking hold of her. He didn't want her to see this. Bruce couldn't help but notice a green tint to his skin as he stole one more glance at the mangled body on the ground. "Lennon, I'm sorry." He whispered, pulling her up and holding her to his chest. Her entire frame was shaking.

Then, as quickly as it came, she stopped crying, let out a trembling breath, and pulled away from the doctor. Her dark make up hadn't been smeared, but her face was red. Her eyes are beautiful. The doctor thought as he examined the young woman who seemed to be calm now. She smiled at the doctor as if nothing had happened, although it was pained.

Bruce looked at her anxiously. "Are you alright, Lennon?" He asked quietly.

Lennon nodded, pushing her long white hair from her face. "Yeah. I'm fine. Sorry you had to see that." She muttered.

"You're apologizing for crying?" He asked in confusion.

She shrugged, and looked. "Come on." She said, picking her helmet off of the ground. "Let's go find your friends."

Before Bruce could protest her coming along, she started up the motorcycle, and he was forced to get on. He had a job to do.

Once he had found everyone, he hopped off the bike as everyone stared at him and Lennon in confusion. He strolled up to them slowly, looking around at the damage. "So." He said, gesturing at the mess with his arms. "This all seems horrible."

"I've seen worse." Natasha stated blatantly.

He gave her an apologetic look. "Sorry."

The assassin shook her head. "No, we could use a little worse."

"Stark?" Steve said. "We got him."

"Banner?" He heard over the little intercom.

The captain nodded. "Just like you said." He looked over at the other person on the bike, and his eyes got wide as she took off her helmet, revealing herself as a woman. "And he looks like he brought a friend." He said, unsure.

"Great. Tell them to suit up."

The young white haired woman walked up beside Dr. Banner, her helmet under her arm. She was staring at Steve like she was standing in front of a celebrity. She nodded in respect, her emerald eyes sparkling. "Captain." She said.

Steve dipped his head. "Ma'am."

Bruce smiled uncomfortably. "Everyone, this is Lennon Burke. She's the reason I got here so fast. Lennon, this is Natasha Romanoff, otherwise known as Black Widow, Clint Barton, otherwise known as Hawkeye, you already know Captain Steve Rogers, and this is Thor. He's a god." He said, gesturing to the huge God of thunder.

Lennon waved. "Greetings. I'm the plus one."

"Captain."Tony said over the intercom to Steve. "Who's this friend of Banner's that sounds so feminine?"

"Her name's Lennon. She brought him here." He replied.

"She from S.H.E.I.L.D.?"

Lennon raised an eyebrow and looked up at Bruce. He shook his head. "No." Then he looked to the woman. "Lennon, you need to leave." He said urgently.

The young woman looked up at him in shock, annoyance flashing in her emerald eyes. "Like hell I do! I can help."

"How?' Natasha asked her.

Lennon pointed back at the beautiful Harley. "I have transportation, and I managed to pick up an officer's gun. I can help you."

Bruce shook his head. "Lennon, no, you're not getting involved, you're get killed." He told her. "Please go."

The woman looked at him in dismay. "Are you out of your fucking mind? Look at those fucking things! Look at the huge thing in the fucking sky!" She shot back.

He gripped the young woman's shoulders and locked eyes with her. "Lennon, listen to me, you need to get out of here."

"And where is she going to go, Banner?" Natasha questioned. Bruce's eyes flashed to her, turning green momentarily. Natasha stood her ground. "She's got a way of getting around. We need as much help as we can get. She can start evacuating people."

"Are you trying to get her killed?" He shouted. They stepped forward as they noticed his skin turning green.

"The Black Widow is right." Thor stepped in.

Bruce glared at the God and turned back to Lennon. "You're not staying here. You're going to find safety."

"Not a change, Bruce! I already saved your ass once today, I'm not having you die on me."

"We're not discussing this!"Bruce snarled, his knuckles turning green as his grip around the young woman's arms tightened.

Lennon looked up at him in fear. "Bruce, you're hurting me." She hissed.

The Other Guy seemed to back off immediately. Bruce released her, his mind racing with confusion. That had never happened before. He never had control over the Other Guy before. He just came whenever Bruce got angry. He stared down at the woman, examining her like he would cells under a microscope. Her gaze of horror had softened, and she looked up to him before grabbing the sides of his face and bringing him down to her height before pressing her lips to his forehead. Bruce's heart skipped a beat as he looked back to her. She gave him the most heartfelt smile. "I'll be okay, Bruce. I promise. Go save the world." She murmured.

"Uh, hey, lovebirds, we have a job to do." Clint's voice came from nearby.

"Wait, it that Banner's girlfriend?"Tony's voice came through.

"Guys? We have more coming this way!" Natasha shouted, as if she couldn't believe what was happening.

Lennon pulled away and picked up her helmet. "Let's go. I'm going to evacuate as many buildings as possible in a four block radius and get everyone to safer ground."

"Oh I like her. Banner needs to keep her."Tony said. "I'm bringing the party to you guys."As he said that, the monstrous metal creature ripped its way through a building, straight for the Avengers.

"I don't see how that's a party." Natasha commented sarcastically.

Bruce Banner turned and looked toward the metal creature, then over to Lennon, who was watching him carefully, as if wondering what he were about to do. Just as the doctor turned and started walking toward the massive beast, he heard the Captain coming toward him.

"Dr. Banner. Now might be a very good time for you to get angry." He said.

Bruce looked over his shoulder with an amused look on his face. "That's my secret, Cap." he said. "I'm always angry." As he turned, the Other Guy completely took over, and he slammed his fist into the beast, nearly destroying it.

"Hold on!" Tony yelled as a ball of fire shot out of his suit and attaching itself to the creature. Everyone took cover, and the Hulk shielded Lennon, whose eyes were sparkling with anticipation and fear. She took in the beast before her, her jaw dropping.

Once the fire had cleared, the Avengers stood back to back in a circle, looking around at the enemies around them. Lennon turned and jumped on the Harley, pushing the Other Guy out of her mind. She would deal with it later. Right now, she had to act. "Bruce!" She called as she put on her helmet.

The giant green beast turned to her, his face still turned down into a snarl.

The young woman smiled at him. "Don't get dead."

The Hulk gave her a growling laugh, then she flipped the visor down and tore off through the streets of New York.
