I hired a cab to the airport.
I had enough money for my needs and did not need any more by selling weapons of destruction which would eventually reach the hands of terrorists and Hydra.
Sure I have become a cold-hearted bastard who could care less about the common people in my path to survival and power along with using the general populace and governments for reliving my boredom. But that doesn't mean I would place into their hands the key to mass destruction in return for constant power, money and fun. My mind hasn't become that twisted... yet.
I boarded the flight which I had booked for today.
I relished my journey in 1st class and soon arrived at my destination.
"Thank you for travelling on XXX Flight. Welcome to Mexico Sir." The flight attended greeted me as I stepped out.
I travelled to the last known location where this person was seen and started an investigation where that person might be.
Soon I found him however I was already too late as the people who pinged his report found him first.
"ARGHHH!" A mighty roar sounded as a green beast swatted all the army units away in anger and quickly started running. However, before he ran away from my sight, I aimed my latest invention I had finished yesterday at him while acting like I was covering my face in fear. *Ping* A extremely small projectile left my watch and homed into the back of the beast.
"Dr Bruce escaped General." I heard a soldier report onto his radio.
"Follow him!" Ross ordered as helicopters started whirring along with military SUV's.
I looked at the blinking icon getting further away in my watch and smiled while local police officers came and support came to take care of the damage left behind by the Hulk.
I stayed in Mexico for a few days, keeping track of the erratic movement of Dr Bruce.
Soon the movement calmed down at around Costa Rica. I smiled and stood up and quickly booked a flight to Costa Rica.
Before I left my hotel I send forth a special gift towards the people chasing him.
I found it easy enough to access, alter and forge passport records, visa records and bank records let alone malfunction their barely accurate tracking methods to point somewhere else to give me few moments to approach Bruce.
I arrived in Costa Rica and made my way towards where my tracker was pointing.
I soon arrived at the entrance towards a forest.
Making my way towards the forest it was only after a few hours of trekking before I met the Dr Bruce.
He was sitting in front of a campfire by a small clear stream looking depressed.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
'Activate calm mind.' I ordered my ability.
I walked forward without worrying about stressing him.
He quickly turned around and nearly turned green before he calmed down.
"Who are you?" He asked as he pointed his sharp stick towards me.
I smiled as I just carried on walking forward and sat in front of the campfire while he moved back warily.
"Don't worry I have diverted all of them to Colombia looking for you. You will be safe for a while." I said as I pointed him to sit.
"What?! Who are you?" He was still wary of me and confused by what I said.
"I am a very powerful person Dr Bruce who came looking for you and the big guy. I can even cure your problem should you be able to hire me." I told him with a smile.
He stood there frozen for a second. "You can… cure me…?" He asked with hope.
"I can, given enough time and resources. But for that, you should be able to hire me, and currently, you do not have the capability nor resources to do that, Dr Bruce. So, I won't do it." I said with a smile
"But why? This world would be a better place without that monster? Why would you want that monster with me?" He asked with desperation.
Ok here comes the lying part well not really lying as it is true but he doesn't know that.
"You see him as a monster, but I don't. I see him as part of you. I see him as you, that is like a child throwing a temper tantrum while protecting you." He was about to say something but I stopped him.
"You are tired and hungry. Let's eat something." I took out some canned food from my bag and poured it in 2 boxes of containers and offered one for Bruce while keeping one for myself.
He was very reluctant to accept canned food. "I haven't found a syringe able to pierce metal cans like this and inject anything into it to knock you out. If you don't trust me you can swap the containers around randomly while I look away." Just at that moment, his stomach growled. He just took the container I offered him.
He became quiet as he ate. "What do you want from me? You didn't come all this way to give me hope and destroy it."
"No, I didn't." I smiled as I finished eating and offered Bruce a paper towel to wipe his hands.
"I came to offer you a deal," I told him as I washed the containers in the steam of water.
Bruce stayed quiet.
"I want to do some test on you." Bruce suddenly looked at me in anger seeing I was after him for experimenting as well.
"In return, I can teach you how to calm yourself so that you don't turn into the big guy whenever someone surprises you. Along with that a way to stay hidden so that no one can stalk you as long as you don't go green and a safe passage back to America." I quickly told him before he goes all hulk on me.
"I will agree if you can cure me." He replied after thinking for a few seconds.
I shook my head. "Tell me anything except curing you Dr Banner and I will do it for you. I won't kill the other you no matter what. I can maybe help you to make him a part of you, but I won't kill him."
"It's just a monster! All it does is kill and harm people!" Dr Bruce shouted and nearly went full green before he calmed.
"All to protect you," I answered back after he had calmed.
"Fuck you!" Dr Bruce shouted in anger as he stormed off.
I stayed there and observed the radar on my watch. He wasn't running off, just staying away from me. He will be back after a while of thinking about all this.
To him, I was his only way of escaping this curse.
I stayed by the campfire for a few hours before I climbed onto a tree to sleep.
Some hours later I opened my eyes hearing some noise. Turning around I saw Dr Bruce was back.
He looked around and looked worried thinking I had left. Then he saw my bag was still by the fire camp before he spotted me sitting on a tree branch smiling at him.
I got down and went to get my bag. "Let's go!" I told him as I put out the fire properly and walked out of the forest.
We started trekking through the forest in the dark.
"Oh, I nearly forgot," I said as I took a watch out of my bag and passed it to Bruce who looked at the watch in confusion.
"Wear it. It is a heart monitoring device. You transform into the green guy whenever your heart rate rises. So always keep an eye on your heart rate. It will kind of keep you in control in a certain way." I advised him.
