Bruce waited for her to process, and he smiled at her first question. "It's because of the type of gamma radiation I used and in extremes. When he's awake it's supercharged, he practically glows with it." There were other reasons too, explanations Bruce had, but he generalized when it seemed easier. "If my eyes or veins ever start glowing green, just be smart and move out of the way. Get Tony or one of my team, he sometimes listens to them." Rarely, but it happened. Bruce was pretty sure the Hulk was more likely to listen to them than himself at this point in time, but being at an inner war was nothing new.

"I wonder if he's gone because they couldn't replicate the accident, or because they think he's more trouble than they want. Or who knows why, really, but I'm sure it was a deliberate decision." Bruce drummed his fingers on the top of the table, not quite looking at her. "Clones would make sense in this case. The Hulk is a part of my body and my brain most of the time. For that to be completely gone, I'm not sure what it would take, but I'd certainly like to know for my own reasons." To permanently decide to get rid of him? That used to be the goal.
