Hulk Pt. 5.
”As nights went on, I began to figure out how to control my anger. I tried it all, but the one thing that I found most effective was how my mom told me to control my temper. You know the ‘count to ten and bite your tongue before you answer’ kind of anger management…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Major Talbot walked into Bruce Banner’s new cell. This cell, unlike the last one Banner found himself in, was sealed up like a bunker. In fact, Banner was almost certain it was a bunker. This meant that it would be ten times as difficult, even as the Hulk, to break out. Banner had no choice but to stay a prisoner.
”Enjoy the view?” Talbot said motioning to a completely grey wall.
”It’s nice. It keeps me calm.”
”So, I can only assume you haven’t enjoyed these past two weeks. Being in captivity and all.”
”It’s not bad. At least you guys have been feeding me.”
”Doctor Banner… Enough with the stalling. You know why I’m here.”
”Dang, I knew something was up.”
”Enough joking around, Doctor.” Talbot said as he locked the door. He walked over to Banner and smiled at him. ”How’d you do it?”
”…”
”C’mon, Banner. You know your silence only prolongs your stay.” Talbot said as he kneeled down to Banner’s level.
”…”
”Alright. Well, I guess I have no choice but to…” Talbot stopped talking as he quickly stood up and punched Banner on the cheek.
1… 2… 3
Before Banner could react, Talbot quickly punched Banner on the other cheek.
4… 5
Banner dropped his head and gritted his teeth. Talbot grabbed Banner by the hair atop his head and made Banner look at him. Banner just closed his eyes and readied himself for the next blow. Talbot didn’t make Banner wait for long as he let go of Banner’s hair and swiftly punched his chin.
6
Banner fell backwards in his chair. Though he wanted to, Banner fought his urge to rip his restraints off and return every blow Talbot had made against him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”Though my method is very childish and there are no doubt better methods to control my anger, I do not care. Because, if a person or event causes me to break that silence…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talbot quickly walked over to Banner and pulled him and his chair upright.
7
”Alright.” Talbot said as he grabbed a small key from his pocket. He quickly walked behind Banner and placed the key into its lock. The lock opened and Talbot quickly took the restraints off of Banner. ”You want to play the silent game?”
8
Banner dropped to the ground as Talbot tilted the chair upwards. Calmly, Banner flipped onto his back and looked at Talbot, who placed the restraints and the key into his pocket.
”Go ahead and play the silent game.” Quickly, Talbot kicked Banner’s legs and then his side. Banner just grunted and gritted his teeth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”They deserve what’s coming for them…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”How’d you do it?” Talbot yelled as he kicked Banner’s side repeatedly. ”How?”
Banner looked at Talbot and smirked.
9
”What? Something funny?” Banner didn’t answer. Instead he just got up and walked just inches away from Talbot. He stared at him intently and made his made a full smile.
”Ten…” Banner said under his breath as he quickly grabbed Talbot’s collar and began lifting him off the ground. A green tint began to slowly grew across Banner’s body.
”Go ahead! Prove you’re a monster!” As Talbot said that, the green tint faded from Banner’s body. Banner dropped Talbot to the ground and quickly dropped to the ground himself. He curled himself into a ball and began to cry. Flashes of memories flooded through his mind. He began to remember things that happened while he was the Hulk. Banner focused in on one single memory. A single second… A single blip. He saw a woman holding a little girl. Their expressions quickly changed to those of fear.
”I remember…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”But then again, maybe I’m wrong. I’m just a man. I make mistakes, but I’ve been lucky to have the chance to fix those mistakes most of the times.”
