The Next Avengers: The Legend(MCU)

Ok, next chapter here! Get ready for some humor, emotions, and a bit of a backstory. Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------

***Diner***

So after making a call, and a bit of driving, the Twins, Scott and the Lang kids made it to a diner where they met up with someone they knew very well.

"Come on, I feel like I'm the only one eating here," the person said. "Here, have some eggs."

A huge green hand pushed a big bowl of scrambled eggs towards Scott. And that hand belonged to none other than the Green Giant himself, The Hulk.

But, this wasn't the normal Hulk. Hulk had a deep, DEEP voice, and accidentally broke things and didn't form full sentences.

And he DEFINITELY didn't wear clothes except for his pants. Or glasses!

But this wasn't JUST the Hulk. He had Bruce Banner's voice, his eyes, and more of his facial features. He almost looked...human! Minus the still height and the still largeness to him.

"This is so cool!" PJ whispered to Cassie from the booth next to them, while Cassie, who was sitting in a chair next to the Hulk....or Bruce, merely scrunched her face.

Cool wasn't exactly the word she'd use right now. Surprising, yes. Shocking, most definitely. But cool?.......Okay, maybe a little bit cool. It was the Hulk, after all. But it was kinda confusing too.

"I am so confused." Scott bluntly stated, speaking her exact thoughts.

"These are confusing times." Bruce replied with a snicker at the end.

"No, no. I mean, that's not what I meant." Scott tried to correct himself, but Bruce caught him.

"I know, I'm-I'm kidding!" He exclaimed, looking at himself, "It's crazy! I'm wearing shirts now!"

"Yeah but, how? Why?"

Bruce wipes his mouth and put his napkin, which was more like a giant paper towel, down before he began to explain. "Ten years ago, we got our a**es beat. Except it was worse for me because I lost three times. First Hulk lost, then Banner lost....and then we ALL lost.....we lost our friends."

"We don't blame you though, Uncle Bruce." Nikki stated.

"I did. After that, I felt really bad about it. Cause I felt like I could've done more. But I didn't. And then I had to take care of you guys."

Jamie and Nikki looked right at Bruce. They knew this story. Bruce had raised them, with Betty. And they'd visit with Azari T'Challa as well on occasion, and they're still friends to this day. To say the same about Torunn was uncertain since they hadn't really talked in almost five years. But they still considered her a friend.

"I didn't mind it." Bruce continued, "Not in the slightest....and it wasn't easy! Heh...but it was great."

This made Scott smile. He was happy that even though there was a great loss, there was some gain too. Jamie and Nikki, on the other hand, blushed in happiness. They were happy to have been raised by their Uncle Bruce. Even though he turned into a giant green Gamma monster.

"And we thank you for that, Uncle Bruce." Jamie replied.

"Anytime, bud. But like I said, it wasn't easy. But it gave me and Betty the chance that I didn't think we'd ever get. A family. Something I thought could never happen when you have gamma radiation in your blood stream.....For years, I'd been treating the Hulk like he was some sort of disease. Something to get rid of.....But then, I started looking at him as the cure."
