The moment the plane touched down, the windshield opened instantly, and the plane, which had been speeding along, slowed down visibly.
The cabin door opened.
Natasha Romanoff, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was waiting at the private airport with a sky-blue sports car behind her, wearing a tight-fitting combat suit that accentuated her curves, smiled and greeted the person who appeared at the cabin door carrying a luggage bag.
"Bruce."
"Natasha."
Bruce Banner, who stepped off the plane, hugged Natasha like a friend.
The Avengers, who had experienced the Battle of New York, were now true friends.
"Tony is missing?"
"Yes."
After getting into the car and driving away from the airport, Natasha said to Bruce Banner, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Latest intelligence: not only Tony, but Pepper Potts is also missing."
Upon hearing this, Bruce gasped.
"The Mandarin?"
"According to the current clues, yes."
Natasha shook her head. "But there are differing opinions within the department about whether it's really the Mandarin."
Bruce frowned, then looked curious.
"What about the others? What about Steve?"
"He went to England, you know. Ms. Carter is in London."
"Thor? Didn't he say he was going to see Jane?"
"He hasn't come back yet."
"Hawkeye?"
"He's on a mission in Europe and can't get away for now."
"…"
Good grief.
So I'm the only one who's free.
Bruce Banner listened to the movements of the other Avengers, thinking to himself, then a wry smile appeared on his face as he looked at Natasha: "But I promised Betty, you know, this is my last chance to win Betty back."
After his voluntary transformation during the Battle of New York, he seemed to have found the key to transforming into the Hulk.
Simply put,after the Battle of New York, he seemed to have found a balance between himself and the Hulk.
As long as he maintained this balance, he could control the rhythm of his transformations well.
Of course.
Before transforming, he could control himself, but after transforming, he still couldn't.
The Hulk was too ferocious.
But that wasn't important.
What was important was that after Bruce realized he seemed to be able to control himself, he tried to win back his ex-girlfriend Betty's heart.
Because of the Battle of New York, he had effectively maintained peace on Earth, so the president pardoned all his crimes.
And because he had joined S.H.I.E.L.D., he had the backing of the Five Good Men, which was why he dared to contact Betty, unafraid of his terrifying former father-in-law using him for experiments.
This year's Christmas holiday was an important time for him and Betty to mend their relationship.
Natasha, seeing Bruce's wry smile, quickly said, "We detected some unknown energy at the scene of the battle. You're an expert in the field of energy, and this won't take up much of your time. We've roughly located Tony's location."
Bruce's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Where?"
"Rose Hills, Tennessee."
"Tennessee…"
Bruce paused slightly, looking at Natasha: "Then why not just go straight to Tennessee?"
Natasha chuckled, pointing to the duffel bag Bruce had placed on his lap: "I was thinking you might have brought gifts, and you'd probably want to put them at your and Betty's vacation home first. After all, if they get damaged or lost while flying over, you'd probably be really upset."
That reason Bruce Banner thought for a moment, nodded, and looked at Natasha: "That's a very good reason, so shall we go to Culver first to put our things away, and then go to Tennessee?"
Natasha nodded
"Yes, what do you think of my plan?"

"Yes, perfect, thank you."
"You're welcome,"
Natasha said with a smile.
The journey from the private airport to the lakeside cottage Bruce and Betty had booked at Culver Lake was only about thirty kilometers.
As everyone knows, Natasha is an excellent driver, and with a sports car, the thirty kilometers were covered in no time.
The sound of two doors opening echoed as the sports car engine shut off.
Natasha stepped out of the driver's door, removed her glasses, and looked around at the surrounding mountains and water, especially at the shimmering Culver Lake under the afternoon sun, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"The scenery here is beautiful. Did you find it, or did Betty?"
"Betty."
Bruce, carrying a luggage bag from the passenger seat, smiled shyly: "I know quite a few good places in Barrat, but Betty doesn't want to go there, and besides, Betty doesn't have a very good impression of Barrat."
Ha!
Not just Betty, to be precise, no woman would have a good impression of Barrat.
After all that's a magical land even lizards would shy away from.
Natasha thought to herself, but didn't continue the conversation.
Instead, she said to Bruce, "I'll wait for you outside."
Bruce nodded, said nothing more, picked up his duffel bag, and walked towards the nearby vacation cabin to put his luggage away first.
Natasha, after seeing Bruce enter the password to open the cabin door and go inside, prepared to return to the car.
She planned to wait for Bruce to put away his luggage before heading to the airport and then to Tennessee to find their comrade, Iron Man Tony Stark.
However just as Natasha was about to get into the car, she caught a glimpse of a young man walking towards them from a distance.
It seemed he was coming for them.
The young man was Hawk.
He had promised to bring Gwen, but not to bring her to the scene in person, so he had left Gwen in a safe place where she could see them and came alone.
Hawk had assumed Bruce Banner had come alone.
He hadn't expected…
Black Widow was here too.
Hawke, noticing Natasha's gaze fixed on him, approached her.
Natasha frowned slightly at Hawke's approach.
"You are..."
"I'm looking for Bruce Banner."
"..."
Natasha's eyes narrowed slightly. "Who are you? How did you know Bruce Banner was here?"
As she spoke, Natasha warily placed her right hand on her waist.
Hawke glanced at Natasha's wary gesture but didn't pay it any mind.
Bruce Banner had already put his things down and emerged from the house.
Bruce was taken aback, looking at Natasha's wary expression and the smiling boy standing before her.
Hawke, however, looked at Bruce Banner, his smile widening.
"Bruce Banner?"
"I am, and you are..."
"Hawk!"
"Anya's brother!"
"..."
