Chapter 123

The moment the plane touched the ground, the air brakes opened instantly, and the plane, which had been speeding, slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The cabin door opened.

Natasha Romanoff, a S. H. I. E. L. D. agent, who was waiting at the private airport, leaning against a sky-blue sports car behind her, wearing a tight combat suit that outlined her curvy figure, looked at the person who appeared at the cabin door carrying a duffel bag, and immediately revealed a smile and greeted him.

"Bruce."

"Natasha."

Bruce Banner, who walked down from the plane, and Natasha, who greeted him, hugged like friends.

The Avengers who had experienced the Battle of New York were already friends in the true sense.

"Tony is missing?"

"Hmm."

Natasha, after getting into the car, starting the vehicle, and leaving the airport, said to Bruce Banner, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Latest intelligence, not just Tony, Pepper Potts is also missing."

Bruce heard this and gasped.

"The Mandarin?"

"According to current clues, yes."

Natasha shook her head and said: "But regarding whether it is the real Mandarin, there are different opinions in the bureau."

Bruce frowned, then was somewhat curious.

"What about the others, what about Steve?"

"He went to the UK; you know, Ms. Carter is in London."

"Thor? Didn't he say he was going to find Jane?"

"Hasn't returned yet."

"Hawkeye?"

"He went to Europe to execute a mission and can't get away for the time being."

"..."

Good heavens.

So it turns out I'm the only one who has time.

Bruce Banner heard the movements of the other Avengers, thought to himself, then a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Natasha: "But I promised Betty, you know, this is my last chance to win Betty back."

After the active transformation in the Battle of New York, he seemed to have found the key to transforming into Hulk.

Simply put.

After experiencing the Battle of New York, he seemed to have found a balance point between himself and Hulk; as long as he maintained this balance point, he could control his transformation rhythm very well.

Of course.

He could control himself before transforming, but after transforming, he still had no way to control it.

Hulk was too fierce.

But this was not important; what was important was that Bruce, after discovering he seemed to be able to control it, tried to win back the heart of his ex-girlfriend Betty.

It was also because of the Battle of New York that he had well maintained the peace of the Earth, so the President pardoned all his crimes, and because he joined S. H. I. E. L. D. and had the backing of the five permanent members, this was why he dared to contact Betty and was not afraid of that terrible former father-in-law catching him to do experiments.

This year's Christmas holiday was an important holiday for him and Betty to mend their relationship.

Natasha looked at the bitter-smiling Bruce and hurriedly said: "We detected some unknown energy at the fighting scene; you are an expert in the energy field, and this won't take much of your time; we have already roughly found Tony's location."

Bruce heard this, and his eyes lit up.

"Where?"

"Rose Hill, Tennessee."

"Tennes..."

Bruce paused slightly and looked at Natasha: "Then why not go directly to Tennessee?"

Natasha laughed and pointed to the duffel bag Bruce was holding on his lap: "I was thinking, you might have brought a gift, and you would probably want to put the gift in the vacation cabin you and Betty have; after all, if you fly over and it gets broken or lost, you'll probably be in a very bad mood."

This reason...

Bruce Banner thought about it, nodded, and looked at Natasha: "This reason is very sufficient, so we go to Culver first to put the things away, and then go to Tennessee?"

Natasha nodded.

"Yes, how is this arrangement of mine?"

"Can do, very perfect, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Natasha said with a smile.

The distance from the private airport to the cabin by Culver Lake that Bruce and Betty had booked was only 30 kilometers.

As everyone knows, Natasha's driving skills are very good, and it was a sports car, so the 30-kilometer road was covered in just a blink of an eye.

Accompanied by the two door-opening sounds that rang out one after another after the sports car engine was turned off.

Natasha, who walked out of the driver's door, took off her glasses, looked around at the surroundings by the mountains and water, especially the Culver Lake that was sparkling under the afternoon sun as far as her eyes could see, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"The scenery here is very good; did you find it, or did Betty find it?"

"Betty."

Bruce, who was carrying the duffel bag from the passenger seat, gave a shy smile: "I do know quite a few good places in Bharat, but Betty didn't want to go to Bharat, and Betty's impression of Bharat is not very good."

Heh heh.

Not just Betty; to be precise, no woman would have a good impression of Bharat.

After all...

That is a magical country where even lizards have to cover their butts before they dare to go.

Natasha thought in her heart, but didn't continue on this topic, but said to Bruce: "I'll wait for you outside."

Bruce nodded, didn't say anything more, carried the duffel bag, and walked toward the vacation cabin not far away, preparing to put his luggage away first.

Natasha, after seeing Bruce enter the password to open the cabin door and walk in, prepared to return to the car, wait for Bruce to finish putting away his luggage, and then go to the airport, and then rush to Tennessee to find their comrade Iron Man Tony Stark.

However...

Just when Natasha was about to get into the car, she glanced with her peripheral vision and suddenly noticed a teenager walking toward this side from not far away.

It looked like he was coming for them.

The person who came was Hawk.

He promised to bring Gwen over, but he didn't promise to bring Gwen to the scene, so he left Gwen in a safe place where she could see here, and then came over by himself.

Hawk had originally thought Bruce Banner was coming by himself.

Didn't expect...

Black Widow was also here.

Hawk, while watching Natasha's gaze on him, thought in his heart and came to Natasha's front.

Natasha looked at Hawk, who was walking over, and couldn't help but frown.

"You are..."

"I'm looking for Bruce Banner."

"..."

Natasha's pupils couldn't help but contract: "Who are you, how do you know Bruce Banner is here."

While saying this, Natasha had already vigilantly placed her right hand on her waist.

Hawk glanced at Natasha, who was making a vigilant action, and didn't take it to heart.

Because Bruce Banner had already put his things away and walked out of the house at this moment.

Bruce looked at Natasha, who was full of vigilance with her right hand on her waist, and the teenager standing in front of Natasha with a smile on his face, and was stunned.

Hawk looked at Bruce Banner, who walked out, and the smile on his face became even happier.

"Bruce Banner?"

"I am, you are..."

"Hawk!"

"Anya's brother!"

"..."
