Pietro the Hulkbuster Part 2

(Continuing Part 1)

Bruce's POV

We landed the Quinjet at two in the morning in Sydney, Australia. Natasha had briefed us on Attuma, his supposed plans, ways we might be able to fight against him, and potential allies we may have to face as well.

"...Tigershark is the most likely ally we'll have to face. He tends to work closely with Attuma, from what I've read on the files," Natasha said.

"Dr Banner, will you be turning green today, then?" Pietro asked me. I nodded.

"Yeah, I think I've got this under control...I've been working on a control serum. This will be my first time trying it out," I said.

"...you know, if all else fails, I could control the Hul-"

"You don't talk to me. Don't you dare talk about 'control' to me, Witch-"

"Hey," Pietro said warningly, "It wasn't her fault. Besides, it was a year ago."

"What were the two of you thinking?" I asked, and when Natasha gave me a look, I shut up. Wanda looked at me with sad, scarlet eyes.

"What were we thinking," she said, "You mean, helping Ultron?"

"Wanda-" Pietro started gently, but she interrupted him harshly.

"We were looking for a better life. Is there anything wrong with that? Answer me, damn it, Banner, is there anything wrong with wanting to move on from our traumatic childhood and to start a better life for us and everyone else?" In her fists, scarlet swirls of magic grew larger and larger.

"And how was joining Ultron helping anybody?"

"How was BUILDING Ultron helping anybody?!"

"Don't talk to me like that. It was Tony's idea and it was a huge mistake! So shut your mouth, Witch, or I'll kill you without even turning to the other guy-"

"Shut UP!" Pietro screamed, pushing me back against the wall and holding me up by the collar of my jacket. "Don't you dare speak to my sister that way!"

"Pietro-" Natasha said, a quiver of fear in her voice.

"No. Listen to me Banner. You are constantly questioning why the Avengers trust Wanda and I. Why shouldn't we question you, hm?"

"Because at least I admit I am uncontrollable as the Hulk. Your witch of a sister is uncontrollable all the time!"

"You honestly think I am just a witch, is that all, Banner?" Wanda muttered quietly, and I froze realizing I'd just said it out loud, in front of her. Pietro shoved me hard against the wall and walked angrily back over to his sister and Wanda.

"Let's just go," Natasha said, "We don't have time for this. We shouldn't have brought you along." I felt a pain in my chest when she said it, and suddenly, I felt myself start to turn into the other guy.
