Bruce Banner has spent years convincing himself that control is the only thing standing between him and disaster. Then Y/N walks into his lab. Brought in to study the neurological connection between Bruce and the creature living beneath his skin, she expects complicated science, impossible data, and a man determined to keep everyone at arm’s length. She doesn’t expect Hulk to notice her. He knows her voice. Her scent. Her touch. And no matter how violent a transformation becomes, Hulk is strangely gentle with her. Bruce wants to believe it’s nothing. Until he starts feeling Hulk’s emotions toward her too. But Y/N’s place in Bruce’s lab was never an accident. Someone has been manipulating his transformations, collecting biological data, and searching for a way to recreate the monster everyone else fears. And once they realize Y/N has become the one person capable of reaching both sides of him, she becomes the perfect bait. They think threatening her will make Bruce lose control. They’re right. What they don’t understand is that this time, Bruce doesn’t want Hulk to stop. 💚
