Banner Was in Trouble

The Avengers Compound was unusually lively because Captain America had returned, but alone. Peggy Carter had gone to Washington; her identity couldn't be revealed, nor could the effects of the elixir. However, she needed to appease some old friends, so she wanted to personally cover up some traces.

This saves them the awkwardness of being teased by everyone when they come back together. Captain America was originally tough and naturally had a halo of justice, but now he seems much more down-to-earth.

"Thank you, thank you, Xia." Captain America sincerely thanked everyone; only God knows how happy he was.

Xia Yu looked at Captain America sincerely, "Captain, we are genuinely happy for you. You deserve to have your own life, and every one of us should. This is the best outcome."

Xia Yu was genuinely happy, and also a little moved. This feeling stemmed from the fact that in his previous life Captain America chose to return to the past and live in anonymity. Seeing the elderly Captain America felt like a kind of fulfillment, but he still felt a sense of Hero growing old.

Now that he could personally make up for this regret, Xia Yu felt a mix of emotions.

It's a feeling, anyway, it's very warm.

Xia Yu looked at each of them; in his past life, he had been watching Hero in movies.

For Xia Yu now, everyone is a teammate, a comrade-in-arms, and family. He hopes that his presence in this world can bring different and positive results to everyone, which is what Xia Yu most desires to see.

"Are you alright?" Natasha appeared out of nowhere and took Xia Yu's hand.

"I'm fine, we'll all be fine, won't we?" Xia Yu looked up at the New York sky, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

When Captain America returned, the pace of the entire base noticeably quickened. In his previous life, Captain America was able to serve as the leader of the Avengers before the Avengers Civil War not simply because his name was Captain America.

Under his leadership, everyone took the daily combat training very seriously. At least now, the ranged shockwave attack of the hammer and shield has been developed, and Captain America does have considerable talent in some aspects.

For example, today, Xia Yu was dragged by Captain America to do various attack tests all day long. He used the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms with different Internal Energy intensities more than a hundred times, which almost made Xia Yu too tired to have any daily activities with Natasha in the evening.

But when Xia Yu saw Natasha looking at him with seductive eyes, he couldn't help but kiss her.

Life is about striving and self-improvement, isn't it?

Just as Xia Yu was about to make his move, a cell phone ringing interrupted their intimate moment.

"Whoever you are, you'd better give me a reason," Xia Yu said irritably.

"You're Xia, this is Betty Ross. Bruce's in trouble. He's been taken away by my father's men, and he needs your help." The caller was Betty Ross, Dr. Banner's girlfriend.

"Banner? You're his girlfriend?" Xia Yu slapped his forehead, realizing that this was Dr. Banner's real girlfriend, General Ross's daughter.

"Where are you? I'm coming to find you." Xia Yu didn't waste any words, took the address, and prepared to go out to find Betty Ross.

But Natasha stopped him, saying to Natasha Xia Yu, "Don't go, I'll go with Hawkeye."

"Why?" To be honest, Xia Yu was a little anxious, after all, he felt it was his responsibility.

"The military took her away. What are you going to do there? Go straight into the military base to rescue her? That would be a huge problem. Besides, we don't know the situation yet. What if the military is monitoring Betty Ross? Bring her to the base quietly first, find out what's going on, and then we'll talk. Hawkeye and I are more professional. Don't worry, they can't hurt Banner," Natasha advised Xia Yu.

"Then be careful. Change your clothes, I'll go call Hawkeye." Listen to advice, and Banner should be fine as long as he doesn't have any major safety issues.

After all that commotion, the Captain and Thor got up too, and everyone sat down to wait for news.

Natasha was indeed very professional; she returned in less than an hour.

In his previous life, Xia Yu had never seriously watched the movie the Incredible Hulk and hadn't paid attention to what Betty Ross looked like.

She's quite pretty, but not refined enough; she looks a bit rough around the edges. However, very few Europeans are truly refined, and someone like Natasha is quite rare, especially after meeting Xia Yu, she has maintained her peak beauty.

"Where's Clinton?" the Captain asked.

"He's taking care of some tails." Natasha told Betty Ross to sit down first, then got up to get some water.

"Tell me about the situation, Betty. Since you called me, Banner must have already told you the general situation here, right?" Xia Yu cut straight to the point.

"Yes, he secretly came to see me a while ago, but I found out. Then I arranged to meet him. He's very insecure and afraid of hurting me, but I threatened to jump off a building to make him stay. So we've been together a lot lately, but I didn't know that my father's people had found out."

Betty Ross was also very direct. He took a sip of water and continued, "I just want him to stay by my side, and he said he'd joined S.H.I.E.L.D.., so I thought everything was fine. Neither of us both bothered to hide our whereabouts, so... you guys will save him, right? He can't stay in the military's hands; they'll keep experimenting on him."

Betty Ross looked a little guilty, Captain comforted her, "It's not your fault, Miss Thaddeus Ross, nor is it Banner's fault. We will definitely help you, don't worry."

"Miss Thaddeus Ross, I didn't mean anything by it, but Banner was taken away so easily. What I mean is, didn't Hulk put up a fight?" Xia Yu asked, puzzled.

"He doesn't want to hurt anyone, and there are too many people there. I... my father threatened him, saying that if he were to transform, the military would not hesitate to open fire and suppress him. There are many innocent people in the city..." Betty Ross's voice trailed off as she spoke, feeling that her father's methods were somewhat shameless.

This tactic looked familiar, and everyone involuntarily turned to look at Xia Yu.

Cough! Cough!
