"Betty" one word
"Betty" A lifetime of love
"Betty" A lifetime of pain
"Betty" Was the only word that could make his world stop at all.
"You could stop staring, I am pretty sure you remember what I look like." She said
"How" Bruce replied, as he look at Robert
"Robert, he found me, he told me about his plan. Which I am completely game on for. Screw that bastard of a father. I missed you dearly." she said
"I missed you, I love you, I never stop doing so." Bruce lovely spoke. as they held each other.
"On that note, I feel so warm and fuzzy, I think I am going to vomit." Robert stated, "Anyways, so both of you are going to be at the press conference, make sure you do a big kiss at the end. Jackass Daddy, will come running, get 'Bruce' and then walk into our trap, Jarvis gave me an 95% chance of success."
"How did you get that high of percent, what are you military genius or something." Clint commented
"No, Jarvis, Natasha, Pepper and I came up with the plan." Robert stated "Speaking of which I need to talk to her and see how her end is going." Robert left the floor to find Pepper,
"Hello" Robert said to the receptionist as she looked up, "May I speak to Ms. Potts, please let her know that Agent Hall is here to see her," The receptionist, did a minor sigh, picked up her phone, and pressed a few buttons, she spoke into the phone. Robert could tell she was not expecting her boss's answer, when she put the phone down, she got up from the desk, smoothed out her dress and motioned for him to follow her.
They stopped by a large room and she knocked on the door, there was a little buzz noise, and the door opened. Robert walked into Pepper's office, she was on the phone, he could see that she was incredibly busy, he made a note to himself, to make this quick. Pepper motioned for Robert to sit down and relax. As she hung up the phone, she took a deep breath, and leaned back in her chair."You know, if there ever was definition of a superhero it would be you, You run a Multi Billion dollar company, deal with governments, and you have a home of temperamental super heroes, demigods, and whacked out interns. You have a ton of paperwork and meetings, but I never seen you lose it, so I guess in all, I would like to say thank you."
Darcy and Jane walked in the office, just as Robert got done saying thank you, and Pepper started to cry, Robert looked over and saw a box of tissues, he handed her the box, which she glad took. Darcy and Jane, were confused as all hell, they were going to pound Robert, but then Pepper spoke, "Thank you, Thank you, I love hearing those words, they come so rare. You smeared my makeup a little,"
Robert looked at Darcy and Jane, "I thanked her for her hard work and dedication,"
"AWW, that is so nice of you," Darcy said,
Pepper composed herself a little better, "So anyways, I did a little research, and you are right. We are working out the details, but your plan is a go and he should be able to make an appearance." Robert was happy, he saw his plan coming together,
Later that day, there was a press conference with Bruce Banner and Betty Ross in front of the Avengers Tower, it went off without a hitch. Robert found out that General Ross went insane, they all had a good laugh watching him flip out. Courtesy of Jarvis hacking into the security system at the base, so the Avengers could watch him. "You know I did not know you could change that many shades of red in the face." Commented Tony, to the laughing of everyone.
"Sir, I am to report that Director Fury is here, and he is usually mood." Jarvis warned
"I was wondering when he would show up." Robert said
As Fury got off the elevator, "Hall, do you care to tell me what the fuck are you doing? I got the White House calling me, Marines and Navy asking me questions, and the FBI bugging the shit out of me."
"Actually, yes, did you see General Ross, press conference?" Robert asked
"Of course I know about it. So what, SHIELD is watching him. I am not going to let Ross, get Banner. So do you care to explain to me what the fuck is going on." Fury said.
So Robert explained his plan to Fury at the end of it. "You are evil, I like the plan, do you need anything from S.H.I.E.L.D, to help out."
"Actually yes Jarvis please bring up the plan.
"Very well, Agent Hall," as Jarvis pulled up the plans. Everyone looked at it and made adjustments where needed.
Clint looked at Robert," How the hell did you get 4 Navy Seals teams and 3 platoons of Marines."
Robert "If you are going up against Army Rangers and other elite Army troops, you get the ones that can eat them for lunch." he said with a smile
"General, Sir, All forces are ready, we are ready to get him." A commanding officer said to Ross
"Good, let's get that bastard." Ross said while chewing a cigar.
As Ross approached the Avenger tower, he had already dispatch his special forces to break into the tower and grab Banner. All the other Avengers were on missions, so it was just Banner.
The team 'broke' into the building, they found Banner coming out of a rest room, Banner gave up with no resistance, the handcuff him with the strongest metals on the earth. and put a bag on his head. The team leader contacted Ross and let him know that they had Banner.
Ross arrived at the tower, he got out of his vehicle and walked up the tower to greet his team. As they came out with Banner, Ross looked at him. "This has been a long time coming, you are never getting away again you Monster. Let's go"
"Why do I hear sirens?" The one soldier said
All of sudden out of nowhere, NYPD police cars, SWAT vans, Surrounded all the vehicles, Mariners poured out the surrounding buildings with the Seals in Higher Levels with sniper scopes.
FBI and ATF went and started to arrest everyone, the whole take down only took 3 minutes.
Ross was stunned, what the hell was going on here."Who the hell is in charge here." Ross yelled next thing he saw was a man with four stars on his uniform get close to him.
'I am you, Jackass, I am General Kelly of the Marines, you are to order your troops to stand down." The Marine yelled at Ross
"General Ross why did you kidnap this person." reporters from Fox, CBS, ABC, and CNN came out of the tower to get the scoop.
"Man, this is no man, this is a Monster, this man, Dr. Bruce Banner, has killed hundreds of soldiers and civilians. Millions of dollars in damage, he is the greatest monster since Hitler." Ross yelled
"Shows how much he knows about history, Stalin was way worse." Robert said
"Yes you are correct." Natasha agreeing
"Well, let's fuck with him." as all the Avengers came out of a tower.(they were hiding in the basement.)
Ross was arguing with the Marine General and FBI, ATF, agents in charge, about who had jurisdiction. Suddenly somebody yelled out."Well if you arrested Dr. Banner, then who is he?"
Ross looked in horror as he saw Bruce Banner with his daughter walking out the tower with rest of the Avengers, also with FBI and Secret Service agents guarding them.
Ross looked at the man that they had, he took the bag off his head and it was an elderly man, wearing glasses and had some teeth missing."This is the monster,?" "You are a joke Ross", "What did he keep beating you at Gin." the comments just poured from the Reporters, Ross did not know what to say, he was stunned.
A Three Star Army General, with an senior citizen in handcuffs, it was a true disaster for him, Ross ordered the men to stand down, he ordered the man to be released, and then suddenly some FBI Agents arrested Ross, on civil rights violations.
Suddenly a path was made clear, and the Beast limo pulled up, Tony looked at Robert, "You got him in on it to, damn you are good." Robert just smiled. The President got out of the limo and walked up to , " , I wanted to come and personally apologize for how you have been treated and this will stop now. Ross, you are fired, effective immediately. Also with Stark Industries will be working with the Federal Government, to help develop clean energy programs so that we can help the environment, and Dr Ross, with Tony Stark and Dr. Foster, will you join our cause to save the environment.
Bruce was stunned, he had no idea on this part of the plan. Robert leaned over, "This would make you untouchable, because you are Federal Employee with the White House and beside Ross is ruined." he said
"Bruce, this is our chance." Betty said "A chance at the life we wanted."
Bruce was speechless, he looked around and saw everyone was quiet, even the reporters, agents, troops, and his family just waited for an answer, in his heart he could only say "yes"
