GHOSTLY AVENGERS: ENDGAME

Chapter 5: Time Travel Do Over.

At a diner, Steve, Natasha, Scott, Danny and Dani met up with Bruce Banner, who they haven't seen in a long time. However, the five couldn't eat as they keep staring at Bruce due to his appearance. After the Decimation, and both Hulk's and Bruce's defeat at the hands of Thanos, Bruce restarted his research into gamma radiation and used it to morph his body to have the appearance and strength of the Hulk while retaining the intelligence and control of himself, which is why everyone is staring at him while he talks and eats.

"Come on, I feel like I'm the only one eating here. Try some of that. Have some eggs." Bruce said, offering a very large bowl of scrambled eggs to Scott.

"I'm so confused." Scott said, still confused about Bruce's appearance.

"These are confusing times." Bruce said with a chuckle.

"Right, no, no. That's not what I meant." Scott said.

"Nah, I get it. I'm kidding! I know, it's crazy. I'm wearing shirts now." Bruce said.

"Yeah. What? How? Why?" Scott asked.

"Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing, how'd you end up like that. Bruce?" Danny asked.

"Five years ago, we got our asses beat. Except it was worse for me 'cause I lost twice. First, Hulk lost, then Banner lost, and then, we all lost." Bruce said.

"No one blamed you, Bruce." Natasha said.

"I did." Bruce said.

"For years, I've been treating the Hulk like he's some kind of disease, something to get rid of. But then, I start looking at him as the cure. Eighteen months in the gamma lab. I put the brains and the brawn together, and now, look at me. Best of both worlds." Bruce said as three kids approached him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hulk?" a young girl said.

"Yes." Bruce said.

"Can we get a photo?" the girl asked.

"100%, little person. Come on, step on up. Do you mind?" Bruce said as he asked Scott to take the picture.

"Oh, yeah, yeah." Scott said as he grabs the girl's phone.

"Thanks. Say 'green'." Bruce said.

"Green." the kids and Bruce said as Scott took the picture.

"Did you get that?" Bruce asked.

"That's a good one. Did you want to grab one with me? I'm Ant-Man." Scott asked but the kids didn't respond. "They're Hulk fans. They don't know Ant-Man. Nobody does."

"No, he wants you to take a picture with him." Bruce said.

Scott and Bruce started to discussed that the kids don't want to have a picture with him but Bruce tried to insist.

"No, you feel bad." Bruce said.

"Take the damn phone." Scott said as he hands to phone back to the girl.

"Thank you, Mr. Hulk." the girl said.

"No, it was great, kids. Thank you very much." Bruce said.

"Hulk out!" the kids and Bruce said before the kids leaves.

"Bruce." Steve called.

"Dab." Bruce said to the kids.

"Bruce." Steve called again.

"Listen to your mom. She knows better." Bruce said to the kids.

"About what we were saying." Steve said.

"Can we do it?" Dani asked.

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