—Avengers Tower—

Tony took a seat in the lab and rested after he added some improvements to the Bleeding Edge armor. Wanda and Quill were in the living room, being treated with some medical care by Sam and Steve. Steve walked up to Tony and sat beside him.

"How you holding up?" Steve asked, offering Tony a glass of water.

"I'm doing pretty fine. How 'bout you, Capsicle, you took a long fall from the tower." Tony chuckled as he tasted the fresh water.

"I've fallen from higher things over the last few years. And I haven't died yet." Steve sighed, thinking about his past experiences, "But there was one time that I felt like falling instead of holding on and watching my friend die."

"We always have those moments, buddy." Tony pat Steve on the back, "Always have those moments."

Rocket entered the room with a backpack full of spare parts that looked like it was of good use. All Tony and Steve did was watch as Rocket got to work.

"What are you doing?" Tony asked, fixing his position so he could turn around.

"Remember those bombs we made when we first fought Thanos? Well, I'm doing it again..." Rocket then attached some things together to make it stick, "And this time, it's better."

"Watch on what the hell you're doing 'cause you might blow us up in here." Tony scoffed as he returned to looking out the window from the laboratory.

"Hey, do you want to beat Thanos or no? These bombs can give us a-" Rocket stopped when he heard a explosion in the distance.

Tony and Steve stood up and walked down the stairs. They got a closer look from the glass of the living room. It came from the cemetery and it wasn't a explosion at all, it was thunder but it wasn't from Thor. It was striking the cemetery and after a few more lightning strikes, they heard the noise they wished they never heard again. It was the sound of a monster screeching.

"Keep the suit safe, I got this." Tony told Steve as he started walking towards the elevator, "Is the Hulkbuster ready, F.R.I.D.A.Y?"

"It has a few scratches but it is still fully operational, Sir. Sending it to you once you see the big guy." F.R.I.D.A.Y. said

"Thanks, F.R.I.D.A.Y. Send in Mark 43 once I hit the streets. I don't want Hulk to tear down the tower. I still have my suit in there."

Tony walked out the empty streets of New York as the Mark 43 attached to him. Once he was in the suit, he put in full thrusters and flew directly to the cemetery. In the middle of the place was a confused Hulk. He was walking around, stumbling. Tony silently landed and stretched his arm towards him.

"Hey, Bruce." Tony said as the Hulk violently reacted by turning around and gave him a death look, "Long time no see, buddy."

"Banner dead. Hulk only." Hulk said, pounding his chest.

"Oh shit." Tony remembered, "Thanos broke your back but he didn't kill you. You're still alive Bruce!"

"Banner dead!" Hulk shouted, as he ran towards Tony.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y! Send in the suit!" Tony shouted as the arm of the Hulkbuster landed on his hand and he hit Hulk with it, "Come on, Banner! You're in there."

The Hulkbuster suit was fully operational and Tony was in control. He opened up the guns and missiles and aimed at Hulk.

"Stand down, Banner. The sunset's going down." Tony said, as Hulk punches Tony that he went through a building.

"Not funny, Banner." Tony muttered, as he got up.

Tony grabbed a metal pole and started running to Hulk with it. When he swung at him, Hulk caught the pole and bended it. He grabbed it off Tony and hit him with it. Tony fell to the ground but he activated his missiles and shot Hulk with it.

"How do you feel, Banner?!" Tony delivered a series of punches and uppercuts to Hulk, making him stumble a little. Hulk caught Tony's fist which was suppose to knock him out, "Uh-oh."

Hulk punched Tony in the chest which made him fly through two buildings. Tony landed inside of one as he tried to catch his breath but after a few moments, he saw Hulk jumping towards him. Hulk laid his body on Tony and the whole building collapsed with two of them in it

When Tony finally regained some breath, his left shoulder was in a metal beam. He couldn't move and Hulk was laying there beside him. He activated his laser from his right hand and started to cut it off. But as soon as he was about to finish it, Hulk woke up and ripped his left arm off."

"Mother- F.R.I.D.A.Y, send me another arm will ya? I'm kind of running low here." Tony stood up and activated his beam to shoot at Hulk.

Tony could see the arm flying towards him in the distance. But Hulk was closing in so he was shooting lasers, beams and missiles at him while the arm arrives. When it was almost there, Hulk passed by Tony and destroyed the arm instead.

"Stop making my day worse, Bruce!" Tony shouted in frustration, punching Hulk in the head.

Hulk turned around and knocked Hulkbuster right in the face. The headpiece was permanently faced to the right since there was a malfunction. Tony knew he couldn't win against the Hulk with the Hulkbuster suit so he through of another plan.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y, blow this suit up in ten seconds," Tony commanded as he loaded his missiles up.

"Alright sir." F.R.I.D.A.Y. replied

After a few more punches being laid out by Hulk, Tony ejected himself from the suit and it exploded in Hulk's face. Tony, with Mark 43, shot a large missile at Hulk, sending him through six buildings. Tony flew over to him where he saw Bruce without any clothes.

"Where the hell have I been?" Bruce asked, coughing at the amount of dust.

"In the grave." Tony said and Bruce started to look very confused, "I'll explain everything to you once we reach Avengers Tower. For now, get some damn clothes."
