Especially for Bruce, it had taken more than 18 months to finally reach the Hulk due to Loki's spell, finally being free the Hulk's fortitude had cost Bruce greatly. For the most part of the rest of that day, Bruce lay unconscious and drained from the Incredible Hulk's rampage. The overwhelming guilt was also heavy as well, for what he might have done to his friends and allies that had stood by him for so long. Even if it was not in his own mind, Bruce had felt that he had betrayed them. And so he stayed away from most people, not wanting his monstrous self to be in the public.<br/><br/>Mostly naked from his previous transformation, Bruce had left his depressed self feel the pain of the climate that was the Nevada heat. Even if he was exhausted, he still did not fathom transforming back to the Hulk again so soon. But Bruce did not feel like he deserved peace for what he had done. The Hulk was silent, a slight simmer of anger over Loki's manipulations still remained. However, it would only simmer for so long as Bruce had his time from conflict. Even if he wanted to help his allies once more, his depressed self could not fathom being in their sight once more. And so he wandered to and from shadowy crevices to mitigate some of the heat.<br/><br/>His body could only go for so long and finally Bruce had to wander back towards civilization once more, his half-naked body returning to the final climactic hour that had once held the kingdom of Hulkland. Now it was little more than a ruin, due to the before battle and conflict. Bruce's eyes would even wander towards a few craters that he had fought against Sentry. If it were not for Loki's spell, the fight would have ended the same way it had done before. Both being exhausted.<br/><br/>He soon reached near the Colosseum steps, only to see Betty in view. The love of his life was unharmed and in no real bad shape, but like the others Bruce could not bring himself to be in her presence. While she could have possibly seen him at that moment, Bruce slowly wandered back into the Coliseum to view his own version of a catastrophe. So what if they sent him to a distant world? So what if they could not trust the utter well of rage that the Hulk possessed? Bruce, if given the choice himself would have done the same. More than anyone, he knew the monster that he possessed, that would possibly stay with him until possibly the end of time. Bruce sat down on a nearby bench and rested his sore body, his mind only continuing to go to darker depths...
