Summary
Captain Rogers has let Doctor Banner have his time alone for a year now, but with General Ross now Secretary of Defense in the current Administration (Trump), the Good Captain needs to locate the on-the-lam Doctor after being 'threatened' with the Sokovia Accords (which is the Mutant Restration Act rehashed and now on a global scale).
So Steve sends out his old war buddy, Logan aka The Wolverine, to track down and bring back the low key Banner... but not without some help. Enter She-Hulk.
This odd couple have to locate the World's Strongest Man as well as try and figure out how to work together without killing each other.
Meanwhile, The Avengers pommel each other in a brutal Civil War and are broken asunder. And when Steve Rogers busts Team Cap out of the Raft... Ross decides to take matters into his own hands. The aged General winds up making a deal with the Devil so to speak and has the altered Samuel Sterns do the unthinkable.... turn Ross into that which he hunts.... a Hulk.
Get ready for Hulk smashing action and loads of feels as Jen tries to get Bruce to come back home and Hulk & Wolverine have a fist-to-cuffs disagreement.

Summary
From the kinkmeme: Bruce and Tony are out on a date when they encounter a domestic violence situation (either witnessing it firsthand, or maybe overhearing a guy brag about how he keeps his woman in line). Blindsided by a reminder of his abusive father, Bruce flips out.
Whether he goes full Hulk or if Tony manages to talk him down is up to anon. Mostly I want the angsty h/c when Bruce has to explain to Tony exactly why it set him off so badly.
