So that's it - hours of energetic sex and he gets to go on with his life scot-free with some of his own biological imperative fulfilled, Hulk gone, and a new life ahead of him. It all feels too easy, and there's something missing.
He's close to letting it slide until after he's had some sleep. A nap sounds good before he leaves Kiara to the plans for their brood that don't include him. His eyes are slipping closed, his breathing slowing, and sleep is beckoning when a voice in his ear startles him fully awake.
"Doctor Banner, Boss wanted me to tell you he's going out."
He'd completely forgotten about the comm in his ear and frankly he's pretty surprised it's still there after the past hours. Sleep is going to have to wait.
"I think it's time for me to go. I just have two more things - first, do you have a shower? And second--" He doesn't have to ask the second part. His lips thin, caught between his teeth before he pushes through with his decision. "--if you can put the anger back without letting Hulk out, put it back. Please."
