Bruce Banner
In fact, as long as a team shares the same general goals, everything else can be worked out gradually. So, the first meeting was generally quite successful.
Everything that needed to be said has been said, so let's get to know each other on the first day. Given that we just had a fight, we definitely need to do some team building activities to strengthen our relationships.
So Xia Yu enthusiastically took out a bunch of things from his Space Ring, and everyone had a barbecue to celebrate the formation of the Avengers. There was still a lot of work to be done afterward, but that was for later.
Thinking about the work to come, Xia Yu glanced at Tony Stark and Captain America.
Winter Soldier, is definitely a ticking time bomb; we'll have to come up with a better solution later.
Captain America is chatting with Nick Fury. The Captain suggests that now that the alliance is formed, they should go out together on a mission to familiarize themselves with combat methods.
Nick Fury patted Captain on the shoulder and said, "Don't rush, Rogers. Your first task is to integrate into this world. You should talk to your teammates more, go out for a walk. This world is changing faster than you can imagine."
Captain America pointed to the large pile of things Xia Yu had pulled out and said, "I'm used to this, sir."
Nick Fury laughed. "I bet you ten dollars you're wrong."
Xia Yu suddenly appeared from the side and said, "I'll add ten dollars. You're wrong, Captain."
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took out an inflatable doll, still in its packaging, from his Space Ring and handed it to Captain America, along with an instruction manual.
A minute later, Captain America took out two ten-dollar bills, gave one to Nick Fury and one to Xia Yu, who winked at Captain America.
He said mysteriously, "Captain, do you know, on a certain website, the one I just gave you, the one that's consistently ranked number one in sales, has a face based on your photo, and it even comes with a free shield!"
In the end, the first task was decided. Actually, it wasn't really a task; it was just to recruit someone to join the group, but this person was too dangerous.
That's right, it's Bruce Banner, the Hulk.
General Ross of the military is still searching for him all over the world, unaware that Bruce Banner has been under the surveillance and protection of S.H.I.E.L.D.. all along.
He secretly helped Bruce Banna fend off many people who were interested in him or his mutation.
With Bruce Banner transforming into the Hulk, there are too many uncontrollable factors, so S.H.I.E.L.D.. must maintain constant control over him. Now that the Avengers have been formed, Nick Fury feels that instead of leaving such a time bomb outside, it's better to keep it close by his side.
At least for now, with Thor, Xia Yu, Captain America, and others, things can be temporarily suppressed if something happens.
That's why this invitation came about.
Since it was the first time, after discussing it for a long time, everyone decided to go.
In a slum in India, Bruce Banner has been living in seclusion for more than half a year. He can now basically control his anger and remain unchanged for long periods of time.
The saying goes, "Skill breeds daring." In the movie, Natasha led the people to a secluded place, S.H.I.E.L.D.. even sent out a team of elite personnel just in case.
But this time Xia Yu just casually went to Bruce Banner's place. Yes, alone. The others were all far away. After considering their strength, they figured Xia Yu could talk to Bruce Banner. Even if things went wrong, Xia Yu wouldn't be crushed to death by the Hulk. Thor could also escape unscathed from the Hulk, but it was better not to let him go and negotiate.
Xia Yu sat in Banner's house for about ten minutes before Bruce Banner returned.
"Who are you?" Dr. Banner asked calmly.
"Guess?" Xia Yu didn't play by the rules at all; Bruce Banna was too wary of people from government agencies.
"I remember now, I've seen you on TV. They called you Dragon Knight. You're from S.H.I.E.L.D.. Why did you find someone with superpowers to deal with me this time?" Bruce Banner said.
Xia Yu tossed his S.H.I.E.L.D.. badge over and said, "Look, I'm just a consultant at S.H.I.E.L.D.. I'm not actually a government employee, and I have no interest in working for them."
"Then what's your purpose in calling me here? I'm fine now and don't want to be disturbed by anyone. I think you're destined to be disappointed this time." Bruce Banner tidied up the medical kit he was carrying.
Xia Yu said confidently, "I believe I won't be disappointed. Dr. Banner, you've always treated Hulk as a disease. You resist him, you fight against him. Let me tell you, this method is useless. The more you suppress Hulk, the bigger the commotion he'll cause when he comes out. You know you can't suppress him forever. You think you're avoiding disaster, you're accumulating disaster."
Bruce Banner slammed his hands on the table and roared at Xia Yu, "Do you have any good ideas? Damn it, I've even tried suicide, it didn't work. Tell me, what other way do I have besides suppressing him?"
Xia Yu didn't even blink. He knew Bruce Banner was faking anger to observe his reaction. He did the same thing when Natasha came to him in Avengers 1, and it successfully made Banner see Natasha's guarded nature.
Xia Yu really came alone, and he wasn't afraid of Hulk coming out, so he didn't care at all.
"You don't need to test me. I really came alone. I don't represent the government; I represent a newly established organization, the Avengers, to invite you to join," Xia Yu said.
"The Avengers, don't they represent the government, terrorist organizations, or something else? What are you trying to do? I have absolutely no interest, sorry." Bruce Banerjee refused outright.
"It's a bit complicated to explain. You can think of us as a group of Hero responsible for fighting crime, terrorists, saving the world, and so on." Xia Yu then repeated Nick Fury's explanation from beginning to end.
He also briefly explained the current relationship between the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.., their personnel composition, and so on.
Bruce Banerjee fell silent, clearly having considered it seriously for a moment, before saying, "I still refuse your invitation, Mr. Xia, or rather, Mr. Dragon Knight. Although your reasons are righteous and your actions are noble, I truly have no interest. I am a scientist with seven doctoral degrees. I am weary of fighting, I do not enjoy fighting, and I especially do not wish to transform into the Hulk and fight."
"You've forgotten what I just said, Dr. Banner. Suppressing the Hulk isn't a long-term solution. I know you're researching ways to stop yourself from becoming the Hulk. We won't stop you; instead, come back with me. You'll have better facilities and labs, plus funding from Stark."
Xia Yu looked into Bruce Banner's eyes and continued, "And before that, if you transform into the Hulk, it will help you control him."
"I can't trust you. Last time I showed up in New York, I destroyed half of Harlem. I can't gamble that the Hulk's appearance will bring disaster. You say you can control the Hulk when he comes out? I can't believe you. Nothing can control the Hulk. Are you trying to lock me in a cage?" Bruce Banner said.
"You can try, but not here. Come with me to the world's largest desert. You can try transforming there. Trust us, Dr. Banner. We've seen footage and data on Hulk's battles. We're confident we're stronger than you think," Xia Yu urged repeatedly.
Bruce Banna shook his head again, "No, I can't agree to that."
Xia Yu smiled, and a Gatling gun suddenly appeared in his hand, its muzzle pointed directly at Bruce Banner.
"I'm afraid you have no choice, Dr. Banner!"
