Summer Rainault paused in the hallway at the nameplate marked \u2018Dr Bruce Banner\u2019, and bestowed her fiercest glare on it. The one that hadn\u2019t worked on Director Fury, or Maria Hill. They seemed to think Dr Banner was \u2026 well, not stupid, because he was world-renowed for his science, not just his other half, but somehow unobservant. That he would not figure out that she wasn\u2019t there to \u2018assist\u2019 him, but to monitor him.<\/p>\n

Ugh.<\/p>\n

But she needed the money, and if she didn\u2019t get out of the damn apartment more Marie was going to drive her mad. So here she was, hovering outside Dr Banner\u2019s lab like a scared child. Summoning up her courage, she knocked firmly on the lab door.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It was Maria Hill who informed him that he would be gaining a lab\u00a0assistant. After a quizzical yet suspicious look on his face she explained that Summer was a S.H.I.E.L.D agent and still yet needed some experience. Bruce would have greatly preferred it had he been asked before hand, and he thought that S.H.I.E.L.D didn\u2019t seem to quite understand that he didn\u2019t work for them. But he didn\u2019t turn it down because he supposed a lab assistant wouldn\u2019t be too bothersome to have around so long as they didn\u2019t cower in fear every time he looked at them.<\/p>\n

The knock on the door caused him to look up from his work where his eyes glanced over to the clock on the wall. It must have been Summer. Bruce stood up from his desk and went to open the door where he greeted the woman with a polite smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cI imagine you\u2019re Summer? It\u2019s good to meet you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“It’s nice to meet you too, Dr Banner.” Summer offered a swift handshake and a smile. “I guess someone told you I was coming, huh?” Already she could sense he was vaguely annoyed. Great. And there was that deep well of banked anger, although it was nowhere near as close to the surface as she’d been told.<\/p>\n

“Well, I’m ready to get to work. What do you need?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
