Here we are at the Atlantic again. Back to the mighty SHIELD's helicarrier... Where a Mr Steve Rogers (now in casual wear) was sitting inside of a certain lab, looking over some files. Now that he has taken (mostly) everything in, he seemed to be catching up to the current age as much as he could. "Hm..." He turned a page.

"...everything alright, Captain?" At this point, Coulson entered the lab and gave Rogers a brief, polite nod.

"Yeah, just fine." He looked up at Coulson. "Just catching up on lost time. Loads of it." He looked over one part of the file. "Seems Stark Industries is still around. Good to know." ------------ SHIELD seemed generous enough to install a small TV screen in Banner's lab, showing various news broadcasts and such. One broadcast filmed in Los Angeles, showing some devastation in front of a police station.

"...somewhat." Coulson mused dryly. "I don't know if you knew this, but Howard actually had a son; he's the face of Stark Industries these days... I don't think you two'd get along."
As he was still working on the radiation tracing that Fury wanted him to do, Bruce only cast occasional glances at the TV, but when he noticed the Los Angeles debacle, his attention was fully directed towards the screen.

"Huh, Howard's son. We'll see." He got the feeling he'd meet the man anyway. --------------- "The Los Angeles area faced quite a shock today. A car stolen by a Nicholas Trask, who had just ran out of the court room, exploded in the middle of the road. Many people from the courtroom said that a Joker was involved..." The camera moved closer to the wreckage.

"Hm." With a hum, Coulson took a seat. "...you know, it's... not often that one gets to talk to a legend like yourself so casually..." he mused.
"...hn..." He had heard a bit about the Trask case while he had been on the run, and that Joker business... seemingly, he was a renowned criminal from a crime-infested city called Gotham. ...why would he be be involved in something like that...? he thought.

"Yeah?" He looked at Coulson. "I feel it's a miracle I survived myself. A normal man would have died...guess I have that serum to thank." ----------- "It seemed that Trask tried to rig his own court case by kidnapping a young Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who was due to prove his guilt in today's case. Reports say that she was found in a warehouse and sent to the hospital with severe wounds and a loss of blood. Details on her chances of recovery are unknown. Joker himself..." The bit of news might have stood out to Bruce.

"Possibly..." Coulson hummed, as he glanced at Steve again. "...you know, a lot of kids actually looked up to you while they were growing up. It's a good thing that Captain America didn't just become a piece of propaganda, but a hero kids could idolize..."
Indeed it did, as Bruce dropped whatever he was working on; watching the TV in terror. "...Jenny...!"

He nodded. "I just hope I can be of help with everything going on."

"Believe me, Captain... you'll be of the utmost of help." Coulson hummed with a smile.
He had to clutch his own chest and breathe rapidly to forcibly calm his nerves at this point. As should be known, the transformation would be invoked in periods of intense emotional stress... ...and learning that his cousin had been severely injured like that was well enough good reason for the other guy to pop out. Still, Bruce couldn't risk that; he had to get control over the Hulk before he broke loose... he couldn't endanger anyone on the carrier...

He nodded and smiled. "I appreciate it. By the way, is there any word of that new equipment I asked Fury?" ------------- "Are you alright in there, Mr. Banner?" An agent asked through the door.

"It's still beiing worked on, but it should be ready in a few hours or so, if I'm not mistaken." Coulson mused, as he closed his eyes. "...actually... I had a hand in designing your new equipment."
As he began calming down, he drew more controlled breaths, as his gaze still remained on the TV screen. This was terrible... he had to do something for his cousin... With that, he glanced towards the agent. "...I... need to get to Los Angeles..."

"Oh? But Director Fury stated..." Then again, he noticed how Banner was in a sweat like that. If he got on his bad side... "But I'll try to get in contact with him, give me a moment." He ran off quick. -------------------- "Really?" He nodded. "I can't wait to see it myself...?" He noticed the agent rushing down the hall.

Coulson noticed that as well, and hummed. "...he came from Banner's lab." he mused observingly... before his eyes widened. "...hn... that can't be good..."
At the very least the agent was going to ask Fury about it... he knew that if his cousin was in peril, he had to at least visit her... ...and thankfully, he had gotten control over the other guy for now...

And a minute later, Fury bolted in. "Alright, Banner, what's-" Freezing, he gritted when he noticed the strain the doctor was going through. He minded the gun, he had for this case, loaded with a sedative.
