now i'm stronger than yesterday

Who: The Hulk, some unfortunate scientists, and YOU.
When: Early morning hours of Day 22 (before sunrise). Good mooooorning.
Where: Near the woods.
What: After going missing for four in-game days, Bruce comes back... Kind of. Come mingle with the big guy!

At some point in time, Bruce wakes up to find himself held captive, and he decides to break free.

That much, at least, the Hulk knows, or can guess, or whatever – he doesn't really care about Banner's issues very much at all because Banner doesn't care about his, and if he didn't need the Hulk, he wouldn't have let him out in the first place. Why should the Hulk care about him? What the Hulk does care about are people trying to hurt Banner because Banner's body is his body somewhere down the line, and that is so not okay. That is the opposite of okay.

They might be able to contain Banner, but the Hulk is convinced they can't contain him.

He's right. Of course. He's the strongest there is, and these dinky, wimpy little scientists with their stupid machines are so easy to squish. Too easy – there's a nagging, a tugging, and something from Banner's end bleeds through. It isn't really a conscious thought, or a string of words, but it's something the Hulk understands anyway. Take prisoners to interrogate. What were they doing to Banner, what did they want to do with the Hulk?

The Hulk snorts, but nods to himself. Okay, Banner. That's a good one.

While the Hulk's deciding this, his captors realize the Hulk's right – they aren't going to win this one.

The Hulk couldn't pinpoint the exact moment when they start to move him; he's busy fighting, dealing with a particularly thorny (but ultimately destroyed, thanks) machine. He does notice when he starts to fall.

Roaring in rage, he drops out of the sky much like Loki's box did, and he lands on his back, with a loud crash, just outside of the woods. In his arms, he's cradling one live scientist. Two dead ones tumble out with him, in crumpled heaps beside him, but he doesn't really pay attention to that. What matters to him is trying to figure out where those white coat bastards dropped him. He holds out his captive, looking into his face, and thinks of how to interrogate.

Maybe if he just growls in his face.

Mina briskly walked over to the scientist, taking off her jacket and setting it down on the ground in a neatly folded pile. She started checking vitals, checking pupils for dilation, doing all the essentials. Just like riding a bloody bicycle.

"I won't use my magic on you or anyone else," she murmured, undoing the scientist's shirt enough to check a pulse point, "as long as they don't give me cause. And you certainly have not."

"A fair exchange."

Well, the scientist was alive, at any rate. Mina would slip some vitae later, just to make sure any internal injuries she was missing were properly attended to. She couldn't afford to keep a ghoul long term, but for the purposes of healing, it seemed like an acceptable use of blood.

"I'll have to get it back to the clinic," she said. "For observation. I suppose I should tell Carter and Coulson about this..."

A frustrated noise rose up into Mina's throat. But she swallowed it. Of course this creature wouldn't leave the scientist with her. Why would anyone? She was persona non grata around this hellhole.

And she knew she wasn't equipped to fight. Not right now. It would require time and energy and spells she hadn't yet mastered.

With a resigned sigh, she stood up, holding her hands up in surrender and taking a few steps away from the scientist.

She so would have liked to poke around in his head.

That earned the creature an arched look. "Me?" she asked incredulously. "What do you need me for?"

For that matter, who the hell were Flag Man and Metal Man? They sounded like alter egos Wayne used to go by in Chicago.

...oh.

"Steve?" she asked.

Oh, dear Goddess. Could this get any more absurd? Mina was suddenly seized with the urgent desire to blow her own brains out. Not that it would do her much good.

She sighed softly, gesturing to the unconscious scientist. "He's yours to do with as you please," she said in surrender.

Mina wanted to point out that, no, she damn well wasn't his to do with as he pleased. But she had to remember herself. As much as her pride was hurting, her corpus would be hurting considerably more if he decided to pick her up and throw her. It wouldn't kill her, most likely. But it would be utterly unpleasant.

"As you wish," she said with a sigh.

It burned her.

"I don't know," Mina admitted. She and Steve hadn't had the best of reunions, after he mysteriously returned to Cape Kore. He'd been engaged in typically male behavior. Most unbecoming of a soldier.

Then again, 'Captain America' didn't seem like the most official rank ever dreamed up.

"He's probably in town, asleep," she said. "We could try calling him, if you like."
