T-Shirts? What would people want me on a t-shirt...seems silly.

I don't know, but people where T-Shirts with Iron Man and Cap on them, it's only a matter of time before you show up on them. You're a hero, a superhero. It's only a matter of time my friend.

[She, of all people, could have said yes. Betty still has scars under her hair from when the Hulk first made his appearance. But she would never think that of Bruce OR of Hulk. She loved him too much.]

No, Hulk. Not you...and not Bruce either. [Betty was probably taking a risk bringing up his other half, she wasn't sure how each felt about the other.]

[The Hulk nods.]

Like my action figure...t-shirt would be nice too.

[Hulk frowns as he thinks about Bruce. He still doesn't really like his other half even though Bruce is more accepting of him.]

Puny man miss you.....Hulk miss you too....we...worry.

Now you're talking. Oh, and Posters! A Hulk poster would be totally cool. Do you think I could talk to the little man for a minute?

Hulk frowns but a moment later he starts to shift and change until Bruce is in his place. ''Ow....that was unplesant.''

Clint tosses Bruce a pair of pants and waits from Bruce to get dressed. "Unpleasant, and rather awesome," Clint says, grinning. "One, he let you come back when I asked him, and two, he has some serious feelings in that big heart of his."

Clint was totally going to have a Hulk shirt made to wear around the Tower. In fact, he was going to have one made for everyone, help the Big Guy feel like part of the team.

[Well that just warmed her heart, hearing that from Hulk's own mouth. She smiles fondly.]

Not as much as I worry about you. I miss you too...and I wish you could stay.

Bruce smiled. "Yeah he does. The monster talk has really been bothering him."

(The Hulk nods again. )

Puny man stay in New York a long time.

"I'm already working on that," Clint assured, even if the plan was only in his head. Anything he said to Bruce, the Hulk would hear. "He's a fucking hero, and soon the whole world will know it's true. Have you ever noticed I have a big mouth?" Clint grinned.

"I hadn't noticed that," Bruce says with a touch of dry humor, "but if you think it would help go for it."

"It will help and give the big guy a very much needed self esteem boost," Clint said, nodding. "Me and my big mouth, we're going to do such wonderful things." The smile on his face was almost angelic, which is really when people should worry.

"Don't over do it Clint, I know how you can get," Bruce warns.

"Hey, trust me. I wouldn't do anything that would hurt him, alright? I promise." Clint crossed his heart and his voice was sincere. "He's my friend, Bruce. I'm just trying to take care of him."

Bruce smiles "I understand but there isn't a magic fix here. We have to be careful about this. "

"Trust me?" Clint asked softly. "I promise, I would never do anything to hurt him. Ever. He's my buddy, I'll be careful and go slow."

"I do trust you, the Hulk wouldn't be so calm around you if I didn't....I'm just I'm protective of the Hulk too..he's doing so well."

Clint squeezed Bruce's shoulder with his hand. "I won't do anything, it's alright. I just had an idea, but if you don't want me to do anything, I won't. You're the boss," Clint said, resigned.

"Tell me your idea...maybe if I knew more about it I'd be more open to it."

"I have a friend, she does amazing sketch art, colored pencils, that kind of thing. I was just going to have her to a poster of the whole team, all of us together. If you like it, maybe you can put it on your wall so the big guy can see it and remember he's on a team of superheroes."

Clint scuffed his foot on the ground and rubbed the back of his neck. "Too much?"

Bruce beams. "Clint that is a great idea. Why not take her some of Steve's sketches and see what she can come up with," he says.

"Brilliant! That's even better! I know Steve's too humble to do the kind of scene I want, but his sketches will help her get everyone looking right. So you're okay with it?" Clint asked, getting excited again.

He nods again. "I love the idea," he says, "after all we were forced into the open but that doesn't mean we can't use that as a chance to show people that we aren't scary."
