Furthermore, because he had joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and had the backing of the five great powers, this was why he dared to contact Betty and was no longer afraid of that terrifying former father-in-law catching him to use for experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year's Christmas holiday was the important occasion for him and Betty to mend their relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hearing Natasha looked at the wryly smiling Bruce and quickly said: \"We detected some unknown energy at the fight scene.

After all, if you flew there with it and it got broken or lost, you’d probably be in a very bad mood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reason...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce Banner thought for a moment, nodded, and looked at Hearing Hearing Natasha: \"That’s a very sound reason.
