Chapter 172 Homecoming
A few hours later, Tony finally took the Avengers to visit all the facilities in the building. Although everyone was mentally prepared for the rich attributes that Tony Stark might have shown before coming, they had to say that they were still a little scared.
The facilities in the Avengers Building are almost worthy of the word "everything". Tony thought of almost all the facilities he might need. Staying in this building without leaving home can basically play most of the entertainment projects in the city. However, this is also a point that makes the captain very dissatisfied - the number of entertainment facilities is far greater than that of practical uses. This is the headquarters of the Avengers, gathering the most powerful superheroes in the world, but Tony decorates it like a luxurious entertainment venue.
The captain was not interested in entertainment projects such as the Song and Dance Cinema, but at least the training room made him very satisfied. It was equipped with various high-end weapon systems for training and facilities that could train various abilities of the team members. Tony even borrowed the "framework" system that SHIELD often used to train agents in the past, used computers to simulate various virtual scenes and cast the team members' consciousness into the framework for simulation practical training. But then again, the development of this system was originally participated by Stark Technology.
Most of the Avengers have their own busy affairs to deal with, but they don't always have time to gather together like this. Thor Thor only stays on Earth for a few days this time and will return to the Asgard divine realm within two days. Hawkeye and Black Widow, as retirees, don't know what mysterious work to be busy with, but they also say they will not be able to show up for a while. Spider-Man... has to go to school, and can't go back too late to avoid parents' worries. Colonel Rhodes also has affairs in the army to deal with. Even Tony himself does not have time to show up in the building every day, and he also has enough things to be busy with in his life.
Therefore, Tony decided to take advantage of the rare time for everyone today, so why not hold a party in the building to enhance their relationship and celebrate the establishment of the alliance.
"Sir, a message was sent to your private mailbox." Just as he announced the decision, Jarvis suddenly reminded him through his headset.
Tony said he received it, and then said to everyone: "Then let's move freely. Just go back to the hall before six o'clock. Don't miss the party."
After saying that, he withdrew from the hall and walked towards his own laboratory.
"Whose email, Jarvis?"
"The source cannot be traced back."
"Can't go back? Interesting." Tony muttered, "Can you crack it?"
“Trying.”
The content was cracked in a minute. Tony waved a small fiber optic handheld computer and opened the projection screen in the laboratory, showing the email content.
The sender shows that it is "unknown", and the content is only a short sentence-
——Beware of Bruce Banner.

After Tony announced his disbandment, some people chose to go around the building, while the rest simply stayed in the hall to chat and waited for Tony's party to begin.
As for Bruce Banner, he was not in any of the above. He returned to his room alone, sat in bed, thinking.
Once, he was a talented scientist with seven PhDs and was well-known in the academic world. Until that damn gamma ray experiment, excessive gamma radiation created the Hulk, the monster with no upper limit of power.
The general in charge of capturing Hulk, Thaddeus E. Ross, who called Hulk an uncontrolled and extremely dangerous monster. The bad thing is that Banner felt that he was right. So far, blood and corpses were everywhere he went. Whenever he lost control of his emotions, it felt like he had stepped on the accelerator of a racing car without brakes to the bottom, and nothing that happened afterwards was beyond his control.
But Natasha Romanov made him start to look at the Hulk from another perspective.
"Hulk is a hero."
"Hulk is our luck in you. If there is only one person in the world who has the hope of taming this beast to do good deeds, then that person must be you."
Some people say that everyone and everything in the world have their own meanings, and sometimes we just need to find their own positions. Then if even monsters like Hulk have their own belongings, Banner believes that it must be the Avengers.
Perhaps here, he can finally use this power to the right path. Here, he can make Hulk a hero.
"That's impossible."
A woman's voice rang in the room. Banner was startled, and he subconsciously stood up and looked around, but there was no one in the room except him.
In the mirror.
The woman in the mirror sat charmingly, with long golden hair and green outfit, smiling at him.
"Accept reality, big guy, you can never become a hero, because barbarity and destruction, that's your nature."
Banner jumped up: "Who are you?"
"I'm not talking to you." The woman hooked her long fingers, "I'm talking to another guy."
Her gestures were like magic, and Banner couldn't describe what was going on, but he clearly felt a ball of blood rushing to his forehead. For a moment, he felt his heart as if he was being grabbed by a powerful hand, and then it began to jump in his chest uncontrollably. He felt the blood all over his body began to become hot, as if a irritable soul was restless in it.
Banner covered his head, knelt down, and moaned in pain. He subconsciously glanced at the watch on his wrist - it was specially used to measure his heart rate, and the heart rate reading had exceeded 200 mark at this time... It was a miracle that a green guy had not yet appeared.
"Stop...hand!"
Banner shouted, picking up something on the table and throwing it hard towards the mirror. The mirror was smashed "bang", but the woman did not disappear, but appeared in every piece of the mirror like a clone. She looked at Banner through the mirror and giggled.
Banner closed his eyes and pressed his beating heart, trying to recall the series of emotional control tricks he had learned. He tried his best to think of those relaxing and pleasant memories, but all the corpses, blood, and ruined towns.
He also saw himself, who had become a big green man, whistling to the sky in the ruins filled with death.

"Where is Banner?" Tony quickly walked into the hall and asked straight to the point.
Natasha on the sofa turned back in confusion: "Probably in her own room. What?"
Tony turned around and walked into the corridor without saying a word. The others in the hall realized something when they saw his reaction, and stood up one after another to follow.
They came outside the door of Banner's room.
"Bruce? Are you inside?" Tony rang the doorbell, "If you are there, you should be there."
No answer.
"Jarvis, help me open this door."
"Okay, sir."
The password was automatically entered, and the electronic door was unlocked with a "ding" look. The door panel slid open, and everyone had time to see the unforgettable scene for life.
Bruce Banner knelt on the ground with his back to them, spread his arms and shouted to the sky. But the voice was obviously not the gentle scholar Bruce Banner. It was a rough roar that shook the sky, just like the king of beasts standing on the top of the mountain and roaring downwards.
The muscles shattered his clothes, and his swelling soles shattered his leather shoes. Banner began to swell like a balloon that was quickly filled with air. His skin began to turn green and rough, and his figure became tall and wide. His head kept pushing into the ceiling, and his arms were as thick as a tree trunk. The roof was sunk by his head and back, and the floor was also stomped deep into a huge pit by his huge soles.
After completing his transformation, he slowly turned his head, and a heavy breath came out from his nose, and his cruel and wild eyes made people feel panicked.
