A/N: First of all I would like to thank LordValmar for hooking me up with this awesome Cover for my fanfic.
In Chapter 272 {The Hulk Saga (II)} I posted MC's new armor but honestly, I didn't like it that much. But it the best within all that I had but yesterday I decided to use MC's previous armor with a paint job.
LordValmar once again came through and hooked me up with the MC's new armor. So, instead of the last one MC's armor looks like this.

[POV Reo]
Both Banner and Jennifer were stunned speechless. Yes, this must be because of my shocking personality. With that, I gave myself a mental pat. A few seconds passed but none of us said anything.
Banner still didn't drop his guard… a small mental probe gave me all the answers. He was worried about his only living family member, after all, she has been shot recently. I conjured myself a wooden chair and sat down on it.
"So, why are you here?" Banner asked me after he gulped loudly. It was clear that Banner was very nervous.
"Have either of you seen the news?" I asked and both of them shook their heads in denial. I used my powers and turned on the TV and with a small wave of my hand the TV remote flew into my hand.
On every news channel, Rumi was being portrayed as a Supervillain, all of them were live telecasting from the scene. They were saying how Rumi was attacking the army who were just doing their jobs.
A lot of weird theories were flying around, the fight between the Abomiantion and Rumi seemed to be already over and Rumi could be seen standing in front of a building-sized canyon and a giant blue body was lying beside her. Wait blue body? The Fuck??!! Don't tell that there is another Abomination running out there.
I will check it out after I deal with the duo here. I didn't like what the news channels were saying about Rumi but they were right in some regard so I decided not to destroy them…
Hmm… nowadays my impulse to destroy things is getting quite stronger… it must be something related to the Leviathan of Destruction.
"Hey, that's my office!" Jennifer blurted out but then cringed and moaned in pain. Banner immediately started fussing over her like a mother hen.
"Oh… good, good! I was kind of wondering if you would able to recognize that place or not… after all, you have been through a lot of stress recently" I said and clapped my hands.
Both Banner and Jennifer gave me weird looks but didn't say anything more than that. "But what has what's happening out there have to do with us?" Banner asked me with a confused look on his face. Jennifer was also giving me confused looks.
"Well, they are there for you Jennifer Walters" I said while looking at Jennifer.
Jennifer turned completely pale… well, she was already pale because of all the blood she had lost but she still managed to turn pale… quite impressive. "But why?!!" Jennifer wailed loudly. "I didn't do anything wrong!" Jennifer protested.
While this was going on Bruce Banner was completely silent but he had a horrified look on his face. He was looking at the TV with an aghast look on his face. "Oh… you did nothing wrong… after all, you can't choose who your family is" I said cryptically.
This seemed to confuse Jennifer even more. "What? My family?" Jennifer asked with a lost look on her face. "My only living family is Bruce" Jennifer finished with a confused look and looked towards Banner, he was horrified and his face was marred with a guilt-stricken look.
"This is because of me… they are after you because of me. I shouldn't have come for you" Banner whispered while staring at the ground… he didn't dare to look towards Jennifer any longer.
"What?!! What the hell are you saying, Bruce?" Jennifer snarled in anger. "I don't understand what do you have anything to do with anything happening out there" Jennifer almost screamed but as soon as she was done with her rant she cringed in pain.
So Bruce explained everything that has happened to him in the last month. Jennifer was horrified to learn what has been done to her cousin. I silently listened to Banner's story… at least now I know what he was feeling from his perspective.
For him, everything was normal when he was under the drug's influence, but one day he noticed something. He was unable to go anywhere he didn't know about… Banner didn't have a habit of reading the newspaper.
One day his eyes fell on a newspaper and saw that it was the same article he has seen some time ago. He picked up the newspaper and started to read the article but his world crashed down when he saw the date. According to the newspaper shop owner, this was the latest newspaper but it was dated a month ago.
He showed all his colleagues the newspaper but all of them said that it was completely fine and there was nothing wrong with it but Banner already knew that something was wrong… very wrong.
So, he decided to wait another day and the same newspaper was published the next day too… Bruce was immediately horrified and went to meet Jennifer so that Banner could help her too but found that she was also saying that nothing was wrong.
Banner reached two conclusions. Either he has gone mad or something is going on with his mind… that is when the Hulk took over and broke Banner out of his mental prison. After escaping the facility, the Hulk went back to sleep and Banner was back in control.
Since Banner was in the backseat it was the second time he transformed his memories were fuzzy… but he knew that he needed to save Jennifer so once again he traveled to Los Angeles. When Bruce finally arrived at Jennifer's house he heard and gunshot and came to see that Jennifer was bleeding on the ground.
Banner was angry but he decided to save his cousin so he brought her to the hospital and gave her blood. I am still surprised that if Banner was angry then why didn't he transformed into Hulk?? Ah… I love solving mysteries.
While Banner was pouring his heart to Jennifer, I texted Rumi that if she wanted she could go back and I also informed Nat about our guests and asked her to prepare the infirmary. Rumi said that she was going back because no one even dared to fire at her.
"Well, that's good and all but they didn't come here to capture you. They don't even know that you are in Los Angeles" I said when I noticed that Banner's story was over. Jennifer was gently holding her cousin's hand for support, throughout the story.
"What do you mean? Obviously, they know that I am here or why would they look for Jennifer? She is a law-abiding citizen… she is a lawyer, god damn it!" Banner retorted aggressively. I raised my hands up in surrender… it won't do me any good if Banner turns into Hulk now… all my hard work would go down the drain.
"I am not saying that she is someone bad… but if a person like General Ross says she is bad then she is bad, from the looks it seems that you got what I meant" I said and Banner didn't say anything for a few moments.
"They have framed her… they want to capture her as a leverage against me" Banner whispered in a low tone.
"Ding, ding, ding, and we have a winner" I said in a cheerful tone. "But even if Ross wasn't planning to use her, her life has already changed… her life has changed when you gave her your blood" I said and realization finally dawned on Banner.
"So, you are saying that his blood gave me the powers he had? That I will also turn into a green monster?" Jennifer asked with a depressed look on her face.
"Yes, but I don't know if you are going to be the same as him or not" I confirmed and Banner didn't know what to do anymore. He was clenching his fists tightly while he was biting his lips, that doesn't look good, I need to calm him down before turns into Hulk.
"That is why I am here… both of you will no longer be able to live peacefully. Even if Ross is dealt with someone new will take his place and he or she will not leave you alone… only because they can't control you and both of you will be a constant risk" I said and both of them nodded in understanding.
"So, here is my offer, you are welcome in Elysium and we would help both of you as much as possible" I said sounding like an insurance guy… I can't believe I am doing this… I sound like a fucking salesman!!
"It's not like we have any other options" Banner sighed in a defeated tone and looked at his cousin. "I am really sorry, Jen. I shouldn't have dragged you into all of this" Banner said and looked away from Jennifer.
"Don't you dare say anything like that Bruce! I was on my front porch bleeding to death when you came… I am only alive because of you!" Jennifer chastized. "I say whatever happens we face it together, after all, we are family" Jennifer said in a soothing tone. It was a really touching moment but suddenly they turned towards me.
"Ah… please, don't stop on my account. My lips will be complexly sealed and if you want, I can look the other way… don't worry, I understand that you support incest for the wincest" I said and did a zipping motion on my lips. Both of them blushed up a storm.
"There is nothing like that between us!!" both screamed in protest.
"Yeah, sure whatever you say. So, do you want to come to Elysium or not?" I asked and both of them agreed. I picked up the coffee mug laying on the table and made it a portkey. I handed the portkey to Banner.
"Grab it both of you, it will take you two to Elysium. You will arrive in Elysium infirmary and you don't have to worry, I have already informed them of your possible arrival" I said and didn't give them any time to reply and activated the portkey. Both of them were whisked away and I was left alone in the room.
Hmm… now that Banner and Jennifer are gone, let's check if there is another Abomination or not. I should first look for Emil Blonsky… if he is alive then this was a different Abomination and the original Abomination (Emil Blonsky) needs to die…
