Mary sat quietly beside her brother as Nat and Scott sat across from the Rogers siblings as they watched Bruce eat food that could feed about fifty people. During the five years, Bruce had altered himself and the Hulk to become one with each other. Bruce now had the body and look of the Hulk while still maintaining his mind. Mary remembers when he had contacted her to tell her about it all. How it was his way to ensure he wouldn't fail again. It still was a sight to behold, Mary had never seen Bruce in person since the transformation. He had told her that he could no longer make it Sunday Night Avengers Dinner, he was the first to stop coming, then Thor. It was something that had caused Mary to dive further into her depression.
It was a shock for all four of them who were just watching him in this moment. Before they had met up with Bruce, Mary had talked with Pepper and Evelyn into watching Jamie for her. Mary's son knew his mother would go off and try to bring back their family. He wanted her to.
Tony swore to his mother he'd protect his brother. Mary trusted her sons to look after each other and for Jamie to help out around the home when needed. Her son was good like that, pure and wholesome. He was an easy child and an even better son than Mary could have ever asked for. He thought as an adult would, though he was still only eight years old. He still retained the childlike wonder and the fact that he was still a kid. Not even ten years old yet, and already he was willing to give up his mother so that the universe had a chance to be whole again.
"Come on, I feel like i'm the only one eating here. Try some of that." Bruce says with a mouth full of food. He gestures to one of the plates for Scott who simply stares in shock and confusion, "Have some eggs."
"I'm so confused." Scott states bluntly and Mary laughs as her hand goes to her mouth to try and hide her laughter. Steve glances down at his sister as his arm rests behind her in their booth. His want to protect her never wavering. Scott was a breath of fresh air for all of them right now and they needed that.
"These are confusing times." Bruce rebuttals with a chuckle as he grabs more bacon off a plate.
"Right, no, no. That's not what i- i meant..." Scott stammers, clearly intimidated by Bruce and still confused.
"Nah, I get it. I'm kidding!" Bruce says with a smile, then gesturing to himself, "I know, it's crazy. I'm wearing shirts now."
Mary chuckles softly as Scott still is the only one to speak. "Yeah. What? How? Why?"
"Five years ago, we got our asses beat. Except it was worse for me... in a manner of ways..." Bruce clarifies as Mary's eyes narrow slightly at Bruce, he knew that she had lost so much because of Thanos. And Bruce wanted to make sure he knew that, but that he had lost a part of himself literally. "Cause i lost twice. First, Hulk lost, then Banner lost, and then, we all lost."
"No one blamed you, Bruce." Mary says softly with a weak smile, Natasha nodding in agreement.
Bruce looks between the two women, "I did." He mutters to them and Natasha looks down at her hands. Mary leans into her brother slowly and Steve rests his arm around her shoulders. "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 bawn together, and now look at me. Best of both worlds." Bruce explains to the four friends around him.
