All Bruce Banner wanted was a normal and productive life. That’s the one thing that he never got. For years, he was the outcast, he was forced to run and be hunted. He was the monster known as The Hulk. He was a hero to some, and a villain to others. All Banner wanted was to be rid of it for once and for all.
It’s been 5 years since Bruce Banner has had an incident and become the green goliath. 5 years free of incident, free of senseless destruction. He is finally able to start getting his life back on track. Betty is back in his life full time, and nothing could be better. He is also holding down a job as a pharmacy technician at a neighborhood pharmacy. It is there where we pick up story…
Banner: Next?
A rather built man with long green hair pulled back walks up to the counter.
Samson: Hello Bruce.
Banner: Hey Doc, that time already?
Doc Samson just nods his head.
Banner: Ok, let me grab my bag. Candee, I’m taking my lunch. I’ll be back in an hour.
In the distance, Candee just waves in approval and dismisses Banner.
--- Diner in Downtown Manhattan ---
Samson and Banner are enjoy lunch in an unusual silence. Bruce takes a bite of his sandwich and a drink from his beverage, he takes a breath and from no where Doc Samson slaps Bruce as hard as he can across the face, knocking him from his chair.
Banner: Losing a step in your years Doc?
Samson: You know I have to check. What is this? 5 years without trouble?
Banner: Something like that.
Samson: Any idea as to how you are keeping it in check?
Banner: I have no idea. I do know that things couldn’t be better. Betty is with me all the time. Sure there are moments where I get a little angry, but nothing comes of it. I can’t answer the “why” question, but I sure don’t mind the normalcy in my life. No having to worry about Thunderbolt, no Hulkbuster armor courtesy of Tony Stark. The worst thing I’ve had to deal with is post nasal drip.
Samson: Well I am happy for you Bruce. Glad that things are working out for you. Where is Betty right now?
Banner: She is out of town for the week. Trying to patch things together with Thunderbolt now that things are ok on the jolly green giant front.
--- Back at the Pharmacy ---
Bruce is back behind the counter taking customers when there is a gunshot from the front of the pharmacy. Three men in black ski masks come towards the back of the pharmacy.
Man 1: Everyone, hands in the air. We want the money and no one else has to get hurt!
Banner glances towards the front of the store and notices the clerk with a shotgun blast to the chest.
Man 2: You with the glasses, you heard him, HANDS UP!
Banner: You don’t have to do this. You already killed someone; why not just leave while you can?
Man 3: Shut the F*$^ up you god damn geek.
The man hits Bruce in the face with the butt of the gun, forcing him to the ground behind the counter.
Man 2: Don’t make us make an example of someone else. Hands up. Money in the bag.
Suddenly there is a loud growl from behind the counter that just begins to get louder and louder. The men in ski masks look at each other and then start to slowly look behind the counter. They don’t make it very far. The counter goes flying in a few pieces, knocking the masked men across the store. When the dust settles, all that is left ---
Hulk: HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!
Everyone still able to walk in the pharmacy begins to run for their lives. The masked men are nowhere to be found. All that’s left is Hulk. Hulk is strongest there is. The green behemoth charges towards the front of the store and destroys it; the Hulk is now standing in the middle of downtown Manhattan.
--- In a secluded location ---
In the darkness, the silhouette of a large cranium moves with the laughter that emanates from the bowels of that person’s soul
