2 Interlude Bruce
As soon as the light went out, Bruce knew it couldn't be a coincidence. You might call him paranoid, but it made him survive. Bruce was left alone, much to Agent Romanoff's reluctance, who had to go to Fury immediately. Soon a woman appeared who claimed that she was going to move Bruce elsewhere. However, Bruce quickly put the facts together.
Loki was Bruce's chance for a normal life.
And he followed the woman without hesitation.
Soon he found out the truth.
Ava Starr.
Failed experiment.
Just like him.
They were sitting together in the car.
"You know how to find Loki?" Bruce asked.
"I know who knows. But we need to pick up one more passenger first," Ava replied.
They moved on.
Bill Foster was next. One of the best experts in quantum mechanics.
"It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Foster," Bruce said.
"The honor is mine, Dr. Banner. I have to apologize for Ava. She is desperate and Loki has given her hope," Dr. Foster said.
"It's nothing. I understand her perfectly. I have a problem myself that I believe Loki can solve," Bruce said.
Together, the three of them got in. Dr. Foster was driving, with Ava and Bruce in the back.
"How do we find Loki?" Bruce asked.
"Ava can use her powers to find Dr. Selvig. We know he is going to Loki," Dr. Foster said.
Ava focused and suddenly disappeared.
It was amazing.
Quantum energy in the body of one woman.
However, it had to have consequences.
Bruce didn't want to imagine the pain that Ava must feel every moment.
"How did it happen? This experiment with Ava?" Bruce asked.
"I knew Ava's father. It was an unfortunate accident with his quantum experiment. They all died. So did Ava's parents. Only she survived. But she paid dearly for it," Dr. Foster said.
"It couldn't be cured in any way, was it?" Bruce asked.
"I tried. Shield preferred to use Ava's powers than to free her from suffering. In her present state, Ava has only a few more years before she" Dr. Foster did not finish.
"Loki is God. He's crazy and unpredictable, but brilliant and powerful, and well, he likes it when he's on top. I think we can convince him. Especially now we're against Shield," Bruce replied.
"Do you think we can convince him to do this? Ava has no other option," Dr. Foster said.
"Neither do I. I'm sure Loki will be very interested in getting rid of the Hulk forever. And well, I can plead him for Ava. Loki needs scientists. He may have volunteers instead of slaves. But I don't sure that control. The readings in the brain showed only the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory, and there are cells for courage in it, 'said Bruce.
"Hippocampus you say? No center of feelings or decisions?" Dr. Foster asked.
"Nothing. I had a similar case. It was Agent Romanoff. Her brain, especially the emotional and vision parts, were disturbed. The hippocampus was slightly disturbed, but otherwise it was fine," Bruce replied.
"What if it wasn't control?" Dr. Foster asked.
"You mean that ..." Bruce didn't finish.
"It could have been a farce. Loki is the God of Mischief. Maybe anything if he can affect atoms. He could promise anything. Wealth, good standing in his future court and so on. What he showed to Shield was a farce, a trick of the God of Mischief. Selvig and Barton were already privy to this and agreed to the trick. They were innocent. Mentally controlled. You can't put such people in prison, "Dr. Foster said.
"It might make sense. Barton seemed to be the most angry with Loki. I was told he was still obsessed with shooting Loki. But it could only be for show. Barton's kidnapping could also be a falsd," Bruce said.
"Now we just have to convince Loki that we will not tell Shield the truth and we will be happy to cooperate with him. If he got Barton and Selvig to cooperate, he willingly means that he promised them something for it. We will also serve him. For Ava's health and for your health. "Dr. Banner," said Dr. Foster.
"We have to come up with a plan to crown Loki without spilling innocent blood," said Bruce.
"I have some ideas," Dr. Foster replied.
Suddenly Ava appeared in the car.
"Missouri. A farm in Missouri. Dr. Selvig's going there," she said.
"So we're going there, too," said Dr. Foster.
Ava looked anxious.
"You want to go to him right now, don't you?" Bruce asked.
"Yes, but we have to do it together. I could show up there now, but I want to be with you and Bill," she said.
