Outward appearances can be deceiving, some people know that more than others. If you work for S.H.I.E.L.D you know that all too well. With the Avengers initiative it's common for one to doubt the capabilities of its members by a simple glance. The hammer of almighty Thor proves to be very godlike, the titanium alloy suit of one Ironman struts its many striking features, the shield of the infamous Captain shows to be unlike any other metal, but one member of this team has a more deceptive shell than the others. Bruce Banner is the Hulk, and not many can tell from looking at him.
Dr. Banner returned to the helicarrier before anyone and stayed there longer because of a certain subject he was asked to study, but this subject has an even more effective camouflage than even he. Upon first inspection he thought he was looking at a flower, but he found a beast residing within. Caged, alone, filled with hatred... Does he actually have feelings for this creature? Will this determine his loyalty?
