Bruce Banner was rampaging through the U.S. military forces, his every step wreaking havoc.

To Roger, the scene before him was a near-perfect reenactment of the Incredible Hulk movie—the military's response and the Hulk's reaction were eerily similar.

It was almost as if he were watching a live-action movie.

But if this were just a movie, it would've been fine. Unfortunately, this wasn't fiction—it was real life.

The U.S. military had tried every means to stop the Hulk, but the more they provoked him, the angrier he got. The angrier he got, the stronger he became—a perfect vicious cycle.

Roger stood where he was, not bothering to help. But the military wasn't smart enough to leave him alone; instead, they turned their guns on him.

Roger sighed and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Hands up! Take off the mask!"

Someone shouted at Roger.

Roger didn't feel angry. Instead, he found it amusing and said, "Are you really going to say that to someone who can arm-wrestle that big guy over there? Fine..."

Seeing that the military was on the verge of being completely overrun, Roger took a deep breath. His body suddenly disappeared from where he was standing.

....

In the next instant, everyone surrounding him was launched into the air, as though gravity had abandoned them.

Of course, Roger had held back. He didn't exert any real force; otherwise, they wouldn't have just been thrown into the air—they'd have been turned into pulp.

Having dealt with the soldiers surrounding him, Roger flew straight toward the Hulk.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as Roger and the Hulk collided, sending both of them flying.

Facing an enraged Hulk, Roger grabbed his arm and flew higher into the sky. The Hulk struggled, kicking and punching at Roger as they ascended.

"Calm down! Calm down, big guy!"

The Hulk's strength was immense, but Roger could still manage to restrain him. However, he didn't use too much force, fearing he might seriously injure the green giant.

The Hulk roared in defiance, "Hulk is not a toy!"

Bang!

With that, the Hulk slammed his head against Roger's, leaving both of them momentarily dazed.

Seizing the opportunity, Roger hurled the Hulk downward. The giant fell freely, plummeting toward the ground.

Thankfully, Roger had already flown far from the city. Otherwise, this freefall would've demolished countless buildings and likely killed innocent bystanders.

As Roger stabilized himself mid-air, he watched the Hulk fall and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

From the Hulk's earlier words, it was clear—he knew they were comic book characters.

But contrary to Roger's optimistic hopes, this was the worst-case scenario. The Hulk and Banner couldn't accept the reality of being fictional characters, which drove them into a frenzy, drawing the military's wrath.

With a sigh, Roger followed the Hulk down.

By the time the Hulk landed, creating a massive crater in the ground, his rage seemed to have subsided. His green skin began to fade, and his massive form shrank until he reverted to Bruce Banner.
