Loving Yous A Little Bit Hard Sometimes / Bruce Banner

24. Sexy Robin Hood

It had been four and a half years since the blip.

'Why didn't he get rid of the bad people of the world. Why was it random? Wouldn't it make more sense to cut out the venom of the world and leave the good people?' Clint questioned.

'I guess that's why he left us. To cleanse the rest.' Alisha offered. "Or why he left you... by the way love the costume.' she added.

'youre one to talk. No metal suit?'

'I'm incognito!' Alisha told him. 'which is the same reason why you look like a dark robin hood.'

'sexy, dark robin hood. Thank you very much.' He told her doing a little spin.

'Yeah, you look good.' Alisha admitted. 'alright, enough flirting, lets go.' Alisha teased.

'What are you doing? we have done nothing to you!' the man shouted in Japanese pulling out his sword

'You survived. Half the planet didn't.' Alisha remarked landing behind him.

'they got Thanos' Clint told him 'you got us...'

'You're done hurting people' Alisha added.

'We hurt people?' The man asked 'you're crazy! You're both crazy!'

'Samurai swords are so much fun we should use these all the time." Alisha decided as Clint finished off the man

'Wait help me I'll give you anything! what do you want?' he questioned

'What I want? You can't give me.' Clint assured the man. He pulled his hood from over his head the rain trickling down on them.

'You shouldn't be here' Clint grumbled and Alisha spun around.

"NAT! Welcome to the fun lane, I told Steve I would get him, did you not trust me?"

"You are playing whack the pinata with some mob bosses." Nat countered.

"I can kill two spiders with one visit." Alisha agreed.

"Go home Nat you shouldn't be here." Clint repeated.

'Neither should you, either of you.' Natasha told them Clint turned around to face her.

'I just needed to punch someone. Someone bad. Someone that deserved it.' Alisha countered. "Right Clint?"

"Right." He agreed.

'We have a plan to get them all back.' Nat told clint. Clint looked to Alisha.

"You think I would have left my daughter for a joy ride to Tokyo without a good reason?" Alisha questioned.

"Oh I forgot you havent seen Bruce in a while." Alisha remarked when Scott, Nat and Steve took a seat across from him. Alisha kissed his cheek Bruce ran a hand over her thigh. 

"Maria is eating like a champ." Bruce remarked. Alisha picked her up kissing her little face, she giggled up at them. She had always had the most beautiful green eyes. But that was the only thing green about her. 

"Mama missed you sweet girl." Alisha cooed as Steve, Scott and Nat gawked at Bruce. "You have fun with daddy?'

"Broke... toy." Maria corrected pointing an accusatory finger at bruce. 

"Oh no, again?" Alisha turned her head to Bruce. 

"It was an accident." Bruce assured. 

"What did I tell you about being careful especially when I'm gone?" Alisha scolded. 

"Come on, I feel like I'm the only one eating." Bruce remarked pushing a plate forward trying to get off his large topic. ''Try some of that. Have some eggs." Alisha jabbed her fork in taking a bite. Maria opened her mouth eagerly, Alisha pinched off a bite for her. 

"I'm so confused." Scott countered.

" These are confusing times." Bruce agreed.

"Right. No, no, that's not what I meant." Scott countered slowly looking Bruce over again. 

"No, I get it. I'm kidding! I know. It's crazy. I'm wearing shirts now." Bruce agreed with a big smile. "I have a kid! We really havent caught up. They know we are married."

"No." Scott answered. "But thats not... I mean Yeah! Shirts... Wh...How? Why?" Scott countered looking to Nat.

" Five years ago, we got our asses beaten. Except it was worse for me. Because I lost twice. First, Hulk lost, then Banner lost. Then, we all lost."

"No one blamed you, Bruce." Alisha countered running a hand over his back.

"I did. For years, I've been treating the Hulk like he's some kind of disease, something to get rid of." Bruce countered, Alisha knew her constant want to get Hulk out of their relationship didnt help that, she felt bad, but she fell in love with Bruce, not Hulk. "But then I started looking at him as the cure. After months in a gamma lab. I put the brains and the brawn together. And now look at me. Best of both worlds..."

"Yep, thats what he told me too before our wedding." Alisha agreed. "i wanted to kill him." 

"I recall that." Nat agreed. 

"Excuse me, Mr. Hulk?" a little girl questioned. Bruce turned to her.

"Yes?"

" Can we get a photo?"

"100%, little person. Come on, step up." Bruce agreed, holding out the phone to Scott. "You mind?"

"Oh, yeah."

"Thanks," Bruce turned to the Children. "Say "green"!" they smiled brightly. " Did you get that?"

" Don't you wanna grab one with me? I'm Ant-Man." Scott questioned. But the kids shook their head murmuring who is that. "They're Hulk fans, they don't know Ant-Man. Nobody does."

"Wait, no, no, he feels bad. No, he wants you to...he wants to... You want to take a picture with him, right?" Bruce agreed but the boy shook his head vigorously.

" Stranger Danger."

"He's even saying no he doesn't. I get it. I don't want it either." Scott agreed.

"You are Iron woman right? Is that iron baby?" the little girl asked. 

"She's just a baby." Alisha corrected. "Maybe one day she will want to fly around too, who knows." 

"But, come on, the kid! But he...but you..." Bruce tried his best.

"Honey its okay, Scott was kind of gone for a long while, it happens." Alisha offered. 

"I don't want a picture with them." Scott barked back. 

"He's gonna feel bad. Sorry. They said they'd do it." Bruce offered.

"I don't want it anymore."

"No, no...you feel bad."

" Just take the goddamn phone." Scott grumbled.

" Thank you, Mr. Hulk."

" No, it's great kids. Thank you very much. Hulk out!"

"Bruce." Steve begged.

"This happens everywhere now." Alisha remarked. "As you can see he loves it. People are not scared of Hulk like when he first came out to the world but want pictures with him like a real celebrity." 

"Bruce." Steve begged.

"Listen to your Mom. She knows better." Bruce called after the kids. Bruce smiled back at ALisha. "Mothers know best."

"I do." Alisha agreed, smiling as he kissed her. 

" About we were saying..." Steve begged. 

"Right. The whole time travel do-over? Guys, it's outside my area of expertise." Bruce countered.

"Well, you pulled this off. I remember a time when that seemed pretty impossible time, too." Nat countered.  Bruce looked to Alisha. 

"We could get Peter back." Alisha whispered. Bruce nodded. Because he knew that the loss of Peter still cut deep.
