One Shots

Bruce Banner - Retrieval

I had been sent by Fury to get Dr. Banner. He was somewhere in India. I had been sent because I had a very fast healing rate and like him was very hard to hurt. I had a few other enhanced senses like smell, sight, hearing. I also transformed into a lion with human-like features. I was waiting in a small hut on the edge of the town for him. I had sent a child to bring him here.

Children weren't as much of a threat as adults. I saw the little girl run through a hole in the wall. "Should have got paid upfront Banner," I heard him say.

"One hell of a place to settle if you're trying to avoid stress," I said coming out of the shadows. My tail was twitching, I wasn't sure what he'd do. Even in my human form, my tail was present.

"All spies start that early?"

"Some of us, but I'm here to ask a favor."

"On whose behalf?" he asked me. He didn't seem phased by my tail.

"The world's really, but my orders come from SHIELD."

"How'd you find me?"

"SHIELD never lost you, doctor. They've kept their eye on you, kept a few other parties off your back as well."

"And we're alone?"

"Yes." The whole time we were talking he was pacing around me. 

Suddenly he slammed his fists down on a table between us. "Stop lying to me."

I just looked at him, not even batting an eyelash. "Look for yourself, doctor. The only other person is back at the aircraft." I gestured toward the door. 

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see what you'd do," he said. I rolled my eyes. 

I took out my phone to show him a picture of what Loki had taken. "This is the Tesseract. It emits gamma radiation in such small amounts that we can't trace it. It was stolen from the lab. It has the energy to wipe out the planet."

"What does Fury want me to do, swallow it?" he asked looking at my phone.

I smirked at his comment, "We want you to help us track it, there's no one who knows gamma radiation like you. If there was, that's where I would have been sent."

"If I say no?" he asked.

"I'll just have to convince you," I replied.

"And if the other guy says no?"

"Guess I'll have to convince him too, but I don't think you want to break your streak," I replied.

"I don't always get what I want," he said pushing on a crib. I looked at it, knowing I would never have kids because of the accident. I waited for an answer from him. Finally, he agreed to come with me. I called for pick up and gestured for him to follow me.

"If I had transformed what were you going to do?" he asked as the craft took off.

"Talk. I have fast healing and enhanced strength and a few other things. That's why they sent me. It would be near impossible for you to hurt me."

"How?"

"I was in the lab when you had your accident. It affected me differently than you," I replied.

When we got to the helicarrier he looked around him as I greeted Steve and Nat. We had a short talk before Nat told us to go inside.

"Is this a submarine?" Steve asked.

"They want me in a pressurized metal container?" Banner asked. I laughed.

"It's a tin can gentlemen but we won't be underwater," I said as they both looked over the edge to see the engine lifting us into the sky.

"No, this is much worse," Banner said.
