Contact the police.
Tell them they have a couple of AIM beekeepers sitting outside their door.
Breaking an entering into AcuTech Weapons.
Got it all on video.
Computer, how much time left? Put it on screen.
Oh, no 18 seconds! Got to hurry.
I'm gonna be late.
- Hi, Dad.
- Tony, you're a half an hour late.
Half an hour? I must have set my timer wrong.
Your what? Duh.
Nothing! Sorry.
When I invite you to these meetings, it's important you're on time, son.
You were late three times this week and twice last week.
And now we're late for the partner lunch-in.
Now that we have Stark International back from Justin Hammer, we have a lot of work ahead of us.
We want to accomplish great things.
I know, and I want to be a part of it.
We must constantly remind ourselves that power comes with the price of responsibility to ourselves, our community, and our friends.
Howard Stark? You're really back.
- Thank goodness.
- Dr.
Banner? Bruce? I thought you were dead.
Everyone thought Howard, a couple weeks ago everyone thought we were both dead.
The world thinks Bruce Banner is gone.
But, now they know me by a different name.
The Hulk.
No.
They found me.
They won't leave me alone! Bruce, what's happening to you? It's ok.
I'm ok now.
Um, just toast and decaffeinated tea, please.
Bruce, it's on me.
Please, order more than toast.
Ok.
Uh, grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup, uh a doughnut, and maybe a chocolate milkshake and some fries, thanks.
Well, you definitely have the Hulk's appetite.
Gamma irradiated cells require large amounts of metabolic fuel, and I like comfort food.
So, Dr.
Banner, how did all this happen? Look, maybe, Bruce doesn't want Your father and I did a contract job for the government, project Big Green.
Big Green? Well, they got that part right.
We were experimenting with gamma radiation as a source of alternative energy.
But the military wanted to weaponize the project.
They were trying to turn it into a clean bomb.
That's when Stark International pulled out.
I tore up the contract personally.
But even with all my resources, they wouldn't give me back my equipment.
Or my research.
I was furious.
So I decided to go to the test sight and take it back myself.
Howard and I didn't know is that they already started testing the gamma bomb.
I was passing through the test area when I saw this kid.
A runaway named Rick Jones.
Are you crazy, kid? This is a blast zone! You don't understand! We're in the middle of a Bruce, it's ok.
You're here.
Sorry.
I need to calm down for a minute.
What can I do to help? Maybe if we understood more about your condition? I refer to it as the gamma effect.
When I get angry or stressed, my gamma irradiated cells start replicating and expanding.
Those cells take over.
He takes over.
And it's getting worse.
I'll do whatever I can to help you, Bruce.
But you've always been the gamma radiation specialist.
I'm just the tech guy.
You built a machine during project Big Green, the Fallout siphon.
That was built to absorb nuclear radiation.
- I've seen the specs.
- With a bit of fine tuning, I think it can drain the gamma radiation from my cells and stop this curse of the Hulk.
- It's too dangerous.
- More dangerous than me on a bad day? - We can do this, alter the machine.
- What do you mean we? We're responsible to help our friends, right? It's hard to believe Bruce and the Hulk are the same person.
Some of his calculations are beyond me.
He's a genius! If you two have that flow conduit connected, I think we're ready.
Howard, can you man the controls? We're ready, just like old times.
The trick will be to drain at a rate that effectively siphons out the gamma radiation without killing me.
I wish we were that calm about it.
Without killing you, no problem.
Don't worry, we'll ease into it, Bruce.
I'm ok.
I'm ok.
I can feel it working.
Ha! It's working! I can't believe it! What? No! Please! I can feel it working! Team 1, instruct Dr.
Banner and his accomplices to stand down.
No, no.
You can't fire warning shots.
They need to take him down, now! If he turns into the Hulk, it's over! Sir, Howard and Tony Stark are with Banner.
If they're working with Banner, consider them hostiles! Continue firing! Stand down, General Ross.
Don't forget you're still on my ship! And don't forget I have special orders from the President himself granting me emergency control over SHIELD and all its resources.
You've had your chance to catch the Hulk, Fury.
Now, we do it my way.
Teams 1 through 4, open fire, all weapons.
We got to do something! Take cover.
No! Stop! It's working! I warned you.
I wanted you to stop! Hulk smash! Dad! You ok? Computer, give me a bio-scan of Dad.
Howard Stark's vitals are stable.
Scans indicate he's unconscious.
That's a relief.
Hang in there.
Time to put this big green baby to bed.
This is what happens when you give the Hulk a chance, Fury.
Scramble more teams! Throw everything we got at him! Hulk, it's me, Iron Man, remember? We're old friends.
If that's how you treat your friends, I hate to see how you treat your enemies.
Hulk smash metal man.
Hulk, I'm trying to help you.
You have to stop! Hill, to command, we have engaged the Hulk.
Now that I have your attention, can you please calm down? What are they doing? Computer, hack into SHIELD's comms.
Fury, cease fire.
The Hulk's not a monster, he's a scientist! Who is this? Iron Man? You're interfering in U.
S.
military operations.
So he says.
If you don't remove yourself from the engagement, I'm turning the cannons on you as well.
Why isn't General Fury in command? Whoever you are, just listen.
The angrier the Hulk gets, the stronger he gets.
You're just making it worse by blasting him.
He's right, Ross.
Why don't you wise up and use sedatives? Gas him and contain him.
Fine.
Deploy gas pods, maximum strength.
Blanket the area! Hulk no sleep.
Hulk hold breath.
Ok, Hulk, open up and say, "Ah.
" Hulk tear metal man to pieces! Hulk tired.
Hulk no friend.
Leave Hulk alone! Hulk You see, my tactics are extreme but effective.
I did what you couldn't.
I captured the Hulk.
You also destroyed a fleet of SHIELD neutralizers, endangered the lives of my entire crew, and greatly over extended your command.
Don't talk to me about command, Fury.
I was running full scale campaigns when you were running around in short pants.
Where's my son, Fury? Was he hurt? Mr.
Stark, you're saying you don't know Tony is Tony's fine, Howard.
Iron Man and our agents evacuated him outside the Hulk perimeter.
I see.
Well, thank you, Iron Man.
Yet again, you happen to be around just when we need you.
Ahem.
You're welcome, Mr.
Stark.
Uh.
I'm just your friendly neighborhood, uh, armored hero? Well, glad to be of service.
Why was SHIELD attacking Bruce Banner without provocation? SHIELD is temporarily under the control of General Thaddeus - Thunderbolt! - General Thunderbolt Ross.
It was his prerogative.
Banner's been a wanted man from the moment he staggered off that test site.
You're a fool, Ross.
We were on the verge of curing him.
We could've ended it.
End it? We're just getting started.
If our boys can replicate the gamma effect, we'll have an entire army of Hulks at our command.
- No one can stop us.
- No one could control them.
A whole army? You can barely handle one Hulk.
I'm not debating military affairs with a civilian.
Guards, take him to the stockade until this is dealt with.
You're talking about a man's life, General! Iron Man, this isn't the time for a fight.
This isn't over, General.
I too have friends in Washington, and you can bet I'll be contacting them.
I can't believe Fury is just letting this happen.
Pepper, something is seriously wrong with that General Ross guy.
Tony, I think Ross is trying to get rid of you for a reason.
I've been monitoring the helicarrier's internal sensors and there's gamma radiation on board.
Besides Dr.
Banner.
Can you patch me into the security feed? Oh.
Way ahead of you.
The source is Work Lab 13.
Alter the siphon so the gamma radiation in Banner's body is preserved before it kills him.
So this device is loaded with radiation.
If we miss calculate, it could blow like a gamma bomb.
I'm issuing orders, not listening to opinions, Agent Talbot.
Once that monster's dissected, we'll have the key to unlocking the world's most powerful army.
Now, get back to work! They're planning to kill him! Ross is going to use your Fallout siphon to do it.
- He wants to reverse engineer the Hulk.
- What? Computer, hack SHIELD's mainframe.
Disable the sedative gas in Banner's cell then patch me into the comm.
Bruce.
Bruce, wake up.
This is, uh, Iron Man.
I'm a friend of the Hulk's.
Listen to me, the military has the Fallout siphon.
They're modifying it What? Where am I? General Ross brought it on board.
- He plans to - Ross? No.
He's the one that took over project Big Green.
He's responsible for weaponizing our research.
Ross can't do this.
Can't let him.
Bruce, you have to stay calm.
I know how frustrating it is to have your ideas stolen from you and used as weapons.
- But we have to - I won't let this happen again.
I won't! Umm.
I'll be right back.
Hey, stop! That's an order! I'm thinking a change of wardrobe is appropriate.
Tony, War Machine's almost ready.
And by the way, that Extremis thing you do with your armor is creepy.
Get ready for some backup.
Fury! What's happening? Why isn't his cell still gassed? Hulk smash! No! Hulk sit! General Fury, we've lost engine 3! We're going down! Sir, power failures all over the ship.
Engine 3 is still offline.
Thought you guys might be in the need of a little pick me up.
Perfect timing, Rhodey.
Save the city, take down the Hulk, no problem.
Now, where do we start? - What happened? - Sir, it's Iron Man.
He and War Machine are lifting our bow.
Power's rerouting.
Igniting engine three.
Oh, yeah! We just bench pressed a battleship.
They did it, sir.
We're back online.
- The ship is safe.
- Excellent.
You bought us time to get that engine back up, but we still need the two of you.
You have to subdue the Hulk.
We can't I'm in charge here, Fury.
Off the comm.
All drop teams, deploy the tanks.
Repeat, deploy tanks! Hulk, you have to stop this.
We want to help you.
All right, looks like we do this the hard way.
Puny robot man not stop Hulk.
Robot? Bruce! You have to calm down.
You have to control the Hulk.
You guys, it's about to get worse! How could it get worse? Great! Now, he's gonna have even more things to throw at us.
Warning.
System error.
That one hurt.
Computer, shut down and reboot armor.
Sorry, Iron Man.
Hulk is strongest there is! Super strong but apparently not super modest.
Warning.
Power failure.
Down to 67%.
Warning.
System failure.
Tony, even with the Hulk Buster and Extremis, you can't take much more of that.
General, the Hulk is out of control.
Give Iron Man a chance to calm him down! Nonsense.
The Hulk's going down! Deploy the mandroids.
Mandroids? Oh, no.
Sir, the mandroids have subdued the Hulk.
Excellent.
Deploy the Fallout siphon! Nick, you can't let him do that.
Ross has altered it to kill Banner.
There's no telling what he's done.
It could blow up half the city.
Men, you have your orders.
- Belay those orders.
- Yes, sir.
Agent Talbot, deploy the weapon! You'll rot in a stockade for this! Warning.
Power failure imminent.
Tony, I'm having trouble rebooting.
How are you doing? The Hulk Buster's busted.
Mandroids, move the Hulk to the siphon and then disengage attack.
I've got you now, you green beast.
Little man chase Hulk.
Hurt Hulk.
He's killing the Hulk! You have to stop him! Computer, eject now! What's Ross done? He removed all the safety protocols.
It's overloading.
Iron Man, get out of there.
Move! Tony! Rhodey! The controls are jammed! It's gonna blow! Everyone get out of here.
Hulk, you need to get away! Metal man try to save Hulk.
Metal man friend.
- Hulk, no! - Hulk save friend! - He saved me.
- I can't believe he's dead.
How could anything have survived? But he's grey? Somehow the gamma radiation must've change him again.
Please.
Please, don't hurt me! I would like nothing more than to squash you, General.
Someone help me! Please! No! But you're not worth it.
Oh! Is it just me or did Hulk just speak a proper sentence? I'm going away now.
I want peace and quiet.
Hulk, you can't keep running from what you are.
I have to keep others safe from what I am.
But, Iron Man, if you ever need help, I'll be there.
Fury, scramble your teams.
We can't let him get away.
I'm not sure you want to share a cell with him, General.
I already transmitted video to SHIELD.
Your mods of the Fallout siphon put the entire city in danger.
General Ross, on the President's orders, you're under arrest.
Agent Hill, assist me in escorting the General to the brig.
With pleasure, sir.
Thanks, Iron Man.
I should check on my son Tony.
Maybe I should look on his friend James, as well.
See how they're doing.
Good luck, Bruce.
