2 Year Reunion
Being a gladiator wasn't exactly how Thor wanted to be spending his time since his home was being threatened by his sister, but at the moment, he could set that aside as he saw an old friend enter the arena.
Hulk.
He was ecstatic about it, though he was sure his brother wasn't. Though Thor was never against a good bout, he didn't want to fight Banner, though he wasn't giving him much choice, being forced to go on the defensive just to survive. Thor was dazed for a moment after he created a very large dent in the arena wall with his body, barely moving out of the way before the huge hammer Hulk was wielding slammed into the spot he just was.
Thor needed to try and calm Hulk down, get Banner back. As the towering warrior surged towards him, Thor quickly grabbed onto the hilt of the hammer, waiting until the last second before unlodging the hammer from the wall and connecting it with his friend, sending him flying a quarter around the arena wall.
Thor calmly walked towards Hulk, seeing as he recovered and reached for the large ax that was settled beside him. "Hey big guy," he spoke, his voice gentle and low, "the sun's getting real low." Thor saw that as Hulk adjusted his helm back into place, that his words seemed to resonate with him. Thor offered his free hand to Hulk, "Shhh..." He hushed, seeing as Hulk released the ax and reached for him. "That's it. Sun's going down." He murmured as he lowered his hand into Hulk's, stroking the man's palm as best as he could through the leather.
"I won't hurt you anymore. No one will." Thor saw the confusion on Hulk's face, seeing in his eyes that he recognized him, seeing the human that rested inside of Hulk peer out. It's been two years since Hulk as felt Banner's presents, both of them unsure of what to do. Want to be with him again, Banner? I... I don't know. Hulk didn't like that Bruce was unsure of himself, sensing the self-hate he had; it wasn't towards Hulk, rather pointed at himself, which upset Hulk. They both saw, as Thor kept stroking Hulk's palm slowly, that familiar, warm smile and look in his eyes that always made Bruce melt.
Hulk felt as Bruce curled in on himself, sensing that he was crying. I...I-I can't. I can't face him. ...Banner rest. Hulk take care of this. He felt as Bruce retreated back into the spot Hulk had been hiding him and the larger man used his other hand to grab Thor's legs and smash him like he did with his puny god of a brother.
