218, Banner's peep
Sunny day.
Sean arrives at the Riverside Restaurant and sits in the outdoor dining area, with a tranquil view of the Hudson East River and a cool breeze blowing in his face, giving him a feeling of extreme comfort.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Betty, who was wearing a floral dress, was late, and the first thing she said when she sat down in her seat was to sincerely apologize to the young man.
Betty understood her father's thoughts, and the general's father, who was a strong and powerful general at home, wanted to personally choose a qualified husband for her—General Ross had previously looked down on the man, who was not manly enough, and was full of science and experiments.
Before Sean appeared, there was also a suitor named Leonard Samson, a psychologist, Betty's colleague at Corvo University, who was quite academically successful, but he also failed to please General Rose.
Until the last family dinner, her father's appreciation for Sean was overflowing, and his eyes were critical, and strict generals rarely expressed such an unabashed attitude, which made Betty wonder, what is the shining point of that young man's body worthy of admiration?
After a short contact, Betty found that the other party was humorous, gentle and sunny, without any vices or bad habits, and there was no lack of ambition in her career.
After a long time of hesitation, she decided to follow her father's wishes and make a tentative friendly contact with Sean, just as General Ross admonished, she could not always dwell on the past, since that major experimental accident, Banner has not been heard from, as if the world has evaporated.
Time erased the pain of the past, and Betty was determined to start coming out of the shadows of her life.
"I ordered you a Black Forest cake, one of the signature desserts here, and I'm sure you'll love it."
Sean didn't care about Betty's lateness, girls always have some privileges, and being late for a date is one of them.
Chef Evans, who gave a bottle of red wine, quietly gave the young man a thumbs up, his eyes revealing the tacit understanding between men, this is the second time he has served this young man, but the girl he brought over last time is obviously not the current one.
Sean blinked and whispered to Betty: "This dessert is called 'cereal &milk', it looks like a work of art, gently tapped with a spoon, the inside will flow milk, overflowing with chocolate crispy shells and the Black Forest cake underneath, which is mixed with sea salt, which can add richness and depth to the taste, and the bottom layer is covered with crispy rice so that you can enjoy the pleasure of chewing." ”
Betty followed the young man's instructions and took a sip of the milk-soaked cake, the crispy sweetness of the chocolate and the fluffiness of the cake overflowed her lips and tongue, it was indeed a chic dessert.
"Looks like you're good at food?" She looked at Sean curiously, not only the food, but also the décor of the riverside restaurant to her taste.
The interior is flooded with soft orange lighting, the roof is dotted with countless small light bulbs, and the spacious dining area is like a stage centerpiece, and you can see the stars when you look up.
"No, I only cook Chinese food." Sean shook his head.
Soon he easily grasped the initiative of the conversation, this was born in a military family, the reserved and conservative character of the general's beloved daughter, is a typical literary young woman, in addition to scientific research on biological genes, most of the usual leisure life is reading, especially Jane Austen and Agatha Christie.
Sean, who got the information from the general first, naturally chose to break through from this aspect, and the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was quite pleasant for a while, and it was not as awkward and cramped as Betty had imagined before.
Not far away, Banner, wearing a baseball cap, witnessed the scene, and the poor genius wanted by the military sneaked back to the Corvo University laboratory in Virginia in order to obtain the data from the original experiment, only to find that all relevant data had been deleted.
In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to the unknown Mr. Lan to come to New York to meet him in person, and before that, Banner wanted to meet his girlfriend who he missed day and night.
Seeing Betty talking happily with the young man, laughing constantly, Banner naturally felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he didn't complain, if he hadn't been overconfident and reckless to start human experiments, then the accident that changed his fate would not have happened, a massive amount of gamma rays rushed into his body, making his body give birth to the terrible Hulk.
Banner was originally just a brilliant scientist, and his wisdom beyond ordinary people may be the only thing that distinguishes him from others, such a well-educated young man with a bright future, but because of an experimental accident, he lost his peaceful life, his beloved girlfriend, and a promising future, and became a fugitive on the military's wanted list, living a life of fear and hiding in Tibet every day.
His mind is under tremendous pressure, and if he didn't have a way to control his emotions, I'm afraid he would have merged with Hulk and completely turned into that angry Hulk.
This genius with a face full of vicissitudes has long been tired of this kind of exile life of running away day and night, which is the direct reason why he is willing to take a huge risk to meet that Mr. Lan.
Banner took a deep breath, his bearded face with loss, he had tried to get rid of Hulk by various means, and even killed himself by swallowing a gun, but even the right to die was tragically stripped away, and when he fired, the green monster in his body spat out the bullet again.
One last glance at the smiling Betty, Banner quietly left and went to a public phone booth on the side of the street to call Mr. Blue.
Now solving the problem of the Hulk is the most critical, he has tried many methods, such as yoga to control emotions, meditation, psychological counseling, etc., as long as his heart rate is controlled within two hundred, he will not shout out the Hulk, once he is full of anger, the terrifying monster will roar out and destroy everything!
On the other end of the phone, Samuel Stern, who goes by the pseudonym Mr. Blue, was ecstatic to hear Banner agree to the meeting, grabbing the messy hair and staring at the recently hatched experimental specimens - after many iterations of refinement, he had succeeded in making the animals withstand the dramatic changes brought about by the serum.
A white rat as big as a wolfdog was kept in a cage, its sharp teeth chilling, and the experimental specimen injected with serum was full of aggression, constantly hitting the steel-welded iron cage, a pair of claws mottled marks.
"I can get more!" Samuel's mind is full of ideas for making a fortune.
If this serum is developed into a potion and sold at a high price, it will definitely cause a frenzied scramble, and when the time comes, you can build your own laboratory, just like the young man Sean Siperth, who is famous and full of honor.
appeared on the cover of Time magazine, became the most eye-catching dazzling existence in the academic world, entered the White House to be received by the president, and won the next Nobel Prize...... Samuel Stern began to think about it.
Of course, the man and woman who were far away in the riverside restaurant didn't know all this, but when Banner left, Sean suddenly sensed it, and two swirling lights and shadows seemed to appear in the mental world, and the small human and the green giant were intertwined and overlapped.
When he turned his gaze, he didn't realize anything, and the illusory light and shadow instantly shattered, as if it had never existed.
"What's wrong?" Betty, with her long brown hair, asked.
Sean smiled and shook his head, but there was a vague suspicion in his heart that Abomination would soon have a formidable opponent that he had wanted to defeat all his life.
