"Let's interview them in person. By the way, ask Banner how far along he is in his transformation control course. If he can crush the Abomination without transforming, then I think it shouldn't be a big problem to have them demolish a few Hydra bases. Our base is almost finished, so having them come here to familiarize themselves with the work environment is a bonus."
Tony thought for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Okay." He sighed.
"You have a point. Two more helpers are better than no help at all. At least they can help us share some of the firepower and media attention. Jarvis, contact Bruce Banner and tell him that he needs a physical examination, and ask him to bring his cousins here immediately."
Henry was amused. What a good brother.
The next day, a low-key private jet landed on the tarmac of the Malibu villa.
The hatch opened, and a thin and reserved man wearing simple casual clothes and a pair of black-framed glasses walked down cautiously.
It was Bruce Banner.
Following behind him was a burly man with a buzz cut and sharp eyes. (The host's body shape has been modified here.) Even wearing a baggy T-shirt, he couldn't hide his explosive muscles.
He is Emil Blonsky, the former abomination.
They were not unfamiliar with this villa.
They were invited to the laboratory by Henry some time ago, and Banner discussed some issues related to nanotechnology with him.
But every time they come, they are still amazed by the rapid changes here.
"Relax, both of you." Henry's voice came from the door of the villa. He was wearing beach shorts and a T-shirt, with a lollipop in his mouth, looking like a college student on vacation.
"Welcome back to Stark Amusement Park. There are no armies, no tanks this time, only sunshine, beaches, and your favourite me." When Banner saw Henry, his tense expression finally relaxed a little.
He pushed up his glasses and gave a shy smile: "Henry, Tony. Thank you for the invitation."
"That's right, just call me Henry." Henry walked over and gave him a warm hug, then patted Blonsky's arm.
"And you, big guy, don't be so stern. You don't seem to have smiled since I beat you up last time. A smile makes you look ten years younger. If you keep being so serious, I'm afraid the wrinkles on your face will kill a fly."
Blonsky's eye twitched, but he still managed a stiff word from his throat: "Mr. Stark."
This guy is really a standard soldier.
Henry shrugged.
His attitude is quite positive, but his personality is a bit dull. I need to find a way to liven him up in the future.
"You're welcome." Henry led them into the villa.
"Tony is waiting for you in the lab. He's been going through early menopause lately, as you know. So, if he says anything unpleasant later, just treat it as bullshit."
Banner and Blonsky looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Soon, they walked into the laboratory and saw Tony standing in front of an operating table with his back to them.
"Oh, look, who's here?" Tony turned around, holding a cup of coffee with a familiar smile on his face.
"Our great Dr. Bruce Banner, and his power-hungry fitness trainer?"
Blonsky was about to say something, but when he thought of Henry's terrifying fighting power that day, he shut his mouth.
"It's just familiarity, that's how his mouth is." Henry shrugged.
Tony waved his hand, walked up to Banner, and handed him the coffee.
"Try this new coffee I bought. I guess you must have needed it to refresh yourself recently. After all, it must be very tiring to conduct research on various topics at the same time and mediate internal conflicts with Hulk."
Banner took it a little embarrassedly and nodded: "Fortunately, there have been some breakthroughs recently."
"Okay, enough with the pleasantries," Henry said, straight to the point.
"I didn't call you here to buy you coffee. I need to know, Banner, to what extent do you control your other self?"
Upon hearing this, Banner glanced at Tony, and seeing him nod encouragingly, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "I've found a little trick."
"Yes." Banner nodded, his eyes becoming firm.
"I found that the reason I lost control was that I was always resisting him and trying to suppress him. But in fact, he was a part of me, the embodiment of my anger. The more I resisted, the more violent he became."
"So, following Henry's previous suggestion, I tried to accept him. Treat him as a powerful but bad-tempered family member."
"What was the result?" Tony asked curiously, seeming to be interested.
Banner took a deep breath, and then, before everyone's eyes, green veins began to appear on his neck and arms. His eyes also gradually turned green.
But he didn't transform into the Hulk.
He still had the build of a thin scholar, but he gave off an air of strength.
"Now." Banner's voice became a little low but very confident.
"I can use some of his power while maintaining my sanity. Also, I can sense that he is very calm."
Tony and Henry looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Henry was a little surprised.
I didn't expect Banner to reach the threshold of Dr. Green so quickly.
It seems that I was right about him. This guy has more potential than what he showed in the movie.
Much more.
"Cool." Henry clapped his hands.
"It seems you've done well in your family mediation course, Bruce. You're truly a genius."
"What about you?" Tony turned his gaze to Blonsky, who had been silent.
"I heard that you have been doing meditation and yoga training under Banner's guidance recently? To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine you doing those movements." Blonsky's face showed a rare, unnatural expression.
"Yes," he replied stiffly.
"Dr. Banner said this would help me control the power within me."
"How's the effect?"
Blonsky said nothing; he slowly closed his eyes.
The next second, a layer of pale yellow stratum corneum began to appear on the surface of his body.
His height also increased a bit, and his aura became more violent.
But he did not turn into Abomination; his eyes remained clear and rational.
"I can control my power better." He slowly opened his eyes, his voice like muffled thunder.
"As long as I don't get irritated, though, I can control myself."
Henry listened silently and smiled with satisfaction.
Not bad, not bad. A controllable Hulk and an Abomination. It still looks a bit scary, but at least it's not out of control. In terms of combat power, it should be half my own.
Well, that's acceptable.
"Very good." Henry snapped his fingers.
"It seems that our demolition team can finally be officially established."
"Demolition team?" Banner and Blonsky looked confused.
"That's right," Tony replied.
"We have a list of Hydra's secret bases here."
"And you." He looked at them, his tone seductive.
"You will have the opportunity to fully release your hormones that have nowhere to go and realize your life value."
"Of course," he added.
"It's paid. Five insurances and one fund, two days off on weekends, and a year-end bonus."
