Kamala: Hulk? HULK?

Kamala punched the vent off its hinges and jumped out with you close behind. You both landed and looked around before that oh so familiar smell of dust and rust hit you.

Kamala: No way..The Archive!

You and her looked around the open space that was filled with old computers and seemed to have been a hanger at some point. You both jumped down.

Y/N: Hulk, I think we found Tony's archive. We're gonna try to get it open, okay?

There wasn't a response. He should be ok. You think. He was the Hulk. Hulk can't die. Could he? You actually never thought to ask.

Y/N: Looks like we'll need to activate these switches to unlock the door. Should be easy enough.

Kamala nodded and the two of you swung over to ghe first panel. You looked at it and cringed.

Y/N: Jesus. This crap is older than my aunt.

You began to mess with it before you activated the switch.

Y/N: Alright. One down, two to go.

Kamala: Uh oh!

You turned around to find AIM robots climbing from the depths as well as being teleported in.

Y/N: Of course. Why wouldn't there be bad guys here?

You took out a knife and threw it before Kamala swung her enlarged fists as a nearby group of three. You shot out your hook and swung over to the next platform where you began to hack into the computer before pulling the switch.

Y/N: That's two!

Kamala: Guess they know we're here now!

You grabbed one of the robots' arm before you swiped your leg under it to slam it down. You then rolled out of the way as another tried to attack you. You kicked it off the platform and into the depths below before you swung to the last platform.

Kamala punched some more off of the platform she was on before she grabbed one of the bots and used it as a makeshift hammer. She swung it around and used it to slam into the other robots before she threw it as far as she could.

The last panel was a pain and you ended up hitting it before you pulled the lever. You smiled as the light turned green. Suddenly, more drones appeared. You pulled out three knives and threw them at the drones before you leaped up and shot out a line at another robot.

You swung over to Kamala before you realized you were getting surrounded. You couldn't use your electricity right now. That would put you out of commission for a while. No. You had to think of something else.

Suddenly, you thought of something.

Using your helment, you locked onto the enemies surrounding you before you looked at the gauntlets. They activated and covered your hand like a glove before sharp points appeared on your fingertips.

Y/N: Get down!

Kamala and you crouched down as the points shot out and stabbed into the robots around the gwo of you. The points were attached to thing strings that began to cut anything that got close to you. Before long, everything was done for.

The points retacted into your glove and your gauntlets returned to normal. You and Kamala slowly stood up as you smiled widely under your helmet. That was pretty cool.

Kamala: Seesh, this has got to be the last of them! Right??

Y/N: The door should be open now. Let's go.

You and Kamala both headed toward the previously closed door where you found yourselves in a smaller room. It was dimly lit and looked more like a storage unit than anything.

Kamala: Please be here, JARVIS.

Y/N: If you're not, I will replace you.

Kamala: Maybe he's hiding somewhere, under this pile of super cool Avenger stuff.

You just shrugged. An AI hiding may sound weird, but you knew the Avengers. You walked around before you noticed scattered things like a desk with an old computer on it, some display cases, and a bunch of boxes filled with random files.

You walked up to one of the display cases which had a mug in it. You immediately recognized this as Thor's. Kamala placed her hands on the glass and looked at it with wide eyes.

Kamala: I think this belonged to Thor. Maybe it's a secret lever?!

Y/N: It's just a cup. A really neat cup.

You looked around some more before you spotted another display case. You walked over to it and looked at the object inside. It was something you were honestly surpised to see.

Kamala: What is that?

Inside the case was a clay statue of Iron Man. At least, it was supposed to be. The arms were uneven, the painting was horrible, and it was missing an eye. Still, Tony kept it after all this time.

Y/N: It's a clay piece that I made with a friend when I was 8. It was Tony's birthday present.

Kamala: Oh. Cool. Hey, I've been meaning to ask but, who is this friend you keep talking about. You said you had two but you only ever mention one by name.

You stared at the clay statue before you just shook your head and stepped away.

Y/N: That's not important right now. We should keep looking.

Kamala gave you a suspicious look before she followed you as you walked through an aisle of shelves. You looked over to Kamala as she rushed over to another display case. Inside were Tony's prototype Gauntlets that he made for his first suit of armor.

Kamala: The Mark One. Did he plan to come back for all this someday?

You looked back at the clay statue. Was he going to come back for all of this? Was it even worth coming back for? Your mind wondered as you thought back on your childhood before A-Day.

Despite having a big head, Tony did have a soft spot for everyone. Contrary to popular belief, Tony Stark actually did care for his team and his friends. Your mom said that when you and Hailey were born that Tony was the first on to declare himself your uncle. Plus he did let you mess around in his lab and suggest designs you thought were cool. He even let you sit in on one of his board meetings. Gave you a suitcase and everything.

In typical Tony Stark manner, he always did tease you when you would play with Nadia or when Kate would baby sit you. He always said that you and Nadia would get married some day. So much for that. Then again, it was mostly your own fault.

Kamala: Y/N?

You snapped out of your thoughts to see that Kamala was looking at you slightly worried.

Kamala: Are you alright? Being around this stuff isn't bothering you, is it?

You just took a deep breath and turned away as you began to walk.

Y/N: Yeah. I'm fine.

Kamala wasn't so sure. She followed you anyway. You ended up coming across another display case which held an orange electric guitar with a familiar signature on the bottom.

Kamala: From Pepper to Tony. I know I shouldn't freaking out right now but I'm totally freaking out!

You smiled at Kamala cheerful behavior before you moved along.

Kamala: Tony Stark's guitar!

It had been quite some time since you were around someone who was sincerely optimistic. You found yourself once again thinking about Nadia. How long has it been since you talked to her? 2 years? Maybe more.

Y/N: I'm such an asshole.

Kamala: What was that?

You looked over to her and shook your head.

Y/N: Nothing.

Kamala looked at you before something else caught her eye. She ran over to another display case which you also found interest in.

Kamala: Cap's first shield. This was on display at A-Day.

Y/N: Yeah. Tony took it from Cap's room when he was training. I don't think Cap ever noticed.

Kamala: You don't open a secret passageway do you?

You both contiued looking around before Kamala went right and you went left. The room had a large SHIELD logo on the ground which told you exactly what this place was.

Y/N: SHIELD base. Of course.

You then turned around to call out for Kamala before something caught your eye. A large piece of cardboard.

Y/N: Kamala?!

Kamala poked her head out from the row of boxes she was looking through. She walked over to you as you grabbed the cardboard and pushed it aside. You suddenly found a wave if emotion hit when you saw what was behind it. While Kamala was smiling, you were left speechless.

It was a large photo of the Avengers all standing in a casual pose in front of a restaurant they had went to. Cap was standing up straight with his hands behind his back, Bruce was standing tall with his coat over his arm, Tony had an arm on Bruce's shoulder while he looked at Bruce and Cap, Natasha was standing there with her arms crossed, Thor was striking a model pose with his hand on his chin, Clint was squatted down, and your mom was standing next to Cap with one hand grabbing her arm behind her back.

All of them were smiling and they looked so young. This was before you and Hailey were born. This around year two for the Avengers. Your eyes were suddenly glued onto your mother and her smile. Tears began to form in your eyes as you remembered her always smiling.

Kamala: Huh. Lookin' sharp guys.

She turned to you and her smile dropped when she saw your tears. She began to lift her hand to comfort you, but she stopped. What could she even say? She never lost her only parent. She never lost her only family. In the world, it was just you, Hailey, and your aunt. That was it.

Y/N: I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to stop Hailey from being hurt. And I'm sorry for being so weak for so long. But, I'm going to make a promise to you, mom. I'm going to be strong. I'll make you proud.

Kamala slowly smiled before she placed a hand on your shoulder. You didn't need comfort at all. You just needed a bit of motivation. You wiped your tears away and turned back to her.

Kamala: She would be proud if she saw you right now.

You laughed a bit.

Y/N: Actually, I'm pretty sure she would lecture me about putting myself in this kind of danger.

You and Kamala both smiled at each other before you turned back to the pile of junk below the picture. You both started to look through the stuff for JARVIS before you moved the desk. Kamala sighed with frustration since she couldn't find anything. You just smiled as you kept looking. Suddenly, a small computer drive booted up.

You and Kamala looked over at the computer where you saw a drive plugged in.

Y/N: Hey, remember how you were asking what a 1998 computer drive looks like? It looks like that.

Kamala: No way!

She reached to the computer and pulled out the hardrive that had turned on. She looked at it while you peeked over her shoulder. In red marker the name Tony was written.

Kamala: JARVIS!

You smiled as she handed it to you.

Y/N: Hey, old friend.

There was suddenly a thump above you which made you and Kamala look at each other. You tossed the hard drive back to her and she stuffed it into her bag.

Kamala: Now to find Hulk and get out of here.

As you walked out of the room, a louder thud came from above.

???: What you got there, crickets?

You and Kamal froze at the voice and looked up to find a large figure standing there.

Kamala gasped in shock as Abomination jumped down. You pulled out a knife as Abomination looked at the two of you.

Abomination: Leviathan? I thought you died at A-Day.

Y/N: So I've heard.

Abomination looked back to Kamala and spotted the hardrive.

Abomination: Why don't you let me have that?

He started to walk over to the two of you as you moved to shield Kamala. He reached out his hand but Kamala stood firm.

Kamala: I don't think so!

You smiled under your helmet as Abomination's smile dropped.

Abomination: Hm, disappointing.

Suddenly, he began to charge at you as you reached back to throw the knife. Instead, your saving grace was none other than your very own green giant. Said green giant just straight up burst through the wall and tackled Abomination to a lower level as you and Kamala stood there dumbfounded.

Y/N: Uh, found Hulk.

Kamala: Right.

You and Kamala leaped down to the railing below and looked at the two giants circling each other.

Abomination: Welcome back to the land of the living. You're not looking well. All units: find the girl and stay out of my way. We have two Avengers here.

Shit.

Y/N: We have to avoid those robots. We can't let them get that hardrive.

Kamala nodded and pulled up the bandanna you had put in her. It still smells like you. Wait, no! What was she thinking?! Get your head back in the game, Kamala.

The two of you ran off the railing as drones suddenly appeared overhead. You threw a knife while Kamala streached out her fist to knock them out of the air. You tossed Kamala a knife which she used to stab a robot from a distance before she tossed it back to you. You swung up and slammed the knife's blade into the head of another bot.

Abomination: Perhaps not an ape at all.

You looked down at the fight to see Abomination throw Hulk against a wall. He rushed over and began to strangle Hulk.

Abomination: That's too kind a word for a grotesque thing like you.

Abomination began to pound Hulk against the wall repeatedly which began to break the wall itself. Finally, the two broke through it.

Y/N: Damnit. We lost Hulk again!

Kamala: Seriously?! How do we keep losing a giant green monster?!

Y/N: We're bad babysitters?

Kamala started to laugh while you actually smiled. This was kinda fun. You swung back up toward the AIM base where you found yoursleves in a new room. You immediately began to jack the system which brought up a feed of the two giants fighting in a nearby room.

Kamala: I found the Archive's schematics! I think we can find a way to you!

Y/N: Hang in there Uncle Bruce.

You and Kamala began to follow the map through the halls as Hulk fought Abomination. You finally reached a door and entered to find the place a complete wreck. Electricity was sparking everywhere and you found Abomination defeated on the ground infront of a glass container. Hulk stood over him as the glass broke and threw an energy sphere. Hulk caught it as you and Kamala watched him.

You then watched him lift it up, and pound Abomination with it.

Hulk: SHUT....UP!!

Abomination cried out in pain as you watched the brutal beating.

Hulk: SHUT...UP!!

You covered Kamala's eyes as Hulk lifted it up once more before sla.ming it down onto the giant.

Hulk: SHUT UP!!!

The sphere rolled away before Hulk jumped up and grabbed onto the massive machine overhead. He then began to shake it as it slowly became loose. Finally, the machine broke and fell down with Hulk still on it. It crashed down onto Abomination, who stopped moving. Hulk let out a massive roar.

You and Kamala looked at each other before you jumped down into the area and walked over to Hulk. Hulk was panting as he looked at Abomination's body.

Kamala: Is it...dead?

Hulk just looked at her before you looked around the room.

Y/N: Where are we anyway?

Kamala looked around the room as well before she stepped a few feet away.

Kamala: Ok...show me your secrets.

A hologram appeared and Kamala activated it. You walked over as a video began to play.

Monica: Case 705. According to our lead scientist, we have successfully reverse engineered Terrigen gas.

Y/N: Monica?

The video play back showed her talking to the camera while an Inhuman was trapped in a glass box behind her. His skin was blue as was his hair and he wore an orange jumpsuit. Monica began to walk over to the container.

Flynn: Wait...please!

Monica: Calm down. In a moment, this will all be over.

She turned to an unseen assistant.

Monica: Administrator the cure.

Flynn: What does that, what does that mean?!

The feed had a title on it which read "Dispensing D.A.R.K Terrigen" as purplish smoke began to fill the container. Flynn began to cough as the mist entered his cell. He tried to use his powers to protect himself, but it was useless.

Kamala: No, you're hurting him.

You looked kver at Kamala to see that she looked both worried and horrified at the video. The man in the video slowly became weaker as the mist completely covered the cell.

The mist began to clear and to your surpised, Flynn looked completely normal. Flynn looked at himself in disbelief.

Flynn: Where am I?

The camera moved to show Monica who looked very proud.

Monica: A promising result. Case 705 has made a remarkable recovery. And will be monitored for the next 24 hours.

Monica typed someyhing into her tablet before she looked at Flynn.

Monica: Congratulations....you've been cured.

You turned around to see that Bruce had changed back and was now wearing a jacket that he had found with his torn pants.

Kamala: Impossible.

Y/N: What are your thoughts on this, Bruce?

Bruce looked at you and Kamala before looking back at the video. It was paused on Monica's smiling face.

Bruce: We should get out of here. It isn't safe.

Kamala: Yeah...sure.

Kamala and Bruce began to walk away before you sighed and followed them.

Unbeknownst to you, another figure watched you from the shadows up above.
