ENGLISH BOOK - FULL STORYLINE
At a secret military facility, a black SUV pulls in and the
passengers get past the security checkpoint by showing valid
identification. However, as their vehicle pass, toxic gas comes out of
the exhaust pipe, killing the soldiers standing guard at the gate.
Thanks to the gas they have released, everyone on the property is
killed. Wearing gas masks, the two occupants get out and work their way
down into the lower levels where they use a stolen key to open two
massive security doors. Meanwhile, Bruce Banner continues his trek across the New Mexico
desert where he happens upon a diner and gas station out in the middle
of nowhere. He goes into the general store and purchases two pairs of
massive pants for when he turns into the Hulk. He then asks if the diner
is open, the woman who runs the store says that the person who runs the
diner should be there shortly. Turns out, it is the same woman when she
comes to take Banner's order in the diner a few moments later. He
orders a coffee when he learns that it is all she has in stock because a
supply truck won't be by until Tuesday. At that moment, a pickup truck
pulls up and the woman is horrified to remember that it is payday down
at the nearby derrick. Meanwhile, at the secret facility, the two
intruders -- S-2 and S-3 of Home Base -- enter the secured room in the
bowels of the complex. There they find the Abomination who is still
shackled and is being forced to watch footage of the last time he was
with his wife Nadia Dornova. When S-2 tries to tag Emil Blonsky with a
dart, he chokes because he can't get a good aim in the darkness. S-3
decides to take command of the situation and manages to tag their
target. As the Abomination wakes up from his deep slumber, the two Home
Base operatives inform him that they have an offer. Back at the diner, the men from the derrick come in and order
beer. When the woman tells them that she is all out of beverages. When
their leader, Hank, tries to force himself on her, Banner steps in. Hank
finds this hilarious and punches Banner, however with the strength and
durability of the Hulk in his human body, he hardly feels it. While at
the facility, S-3 gives the Abomination the terms of Home Base: Do their
bidding or they will detonate the explosive device now embedded in his
neck. The Abomination stands silent, and so they show him footage of the
man they want: Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk. At that moment at the diner,
Banner uses his enhanced strength to overpower the derrick workers and
throw them out of the diner. While back at the secret base, S-3 explains
that they need an alternative to capturing the Hulk as all other
attempts have failed. Reiterating the terms of his assistance, she asks
the Abomination if he will help them. Suddenly, the Abomination begins
to laugh, and the two agents exit the facility to plan their next move. Meanwhile, at the diner, the woman who owns the place is shocked
by the fact that Banner was able to chase away a half dozen large men.
While outside the facility, S-2 suggests that they cut their losses and
run before Home Base finds out they failed and eliminates them. However,
S-3 tells him to keep it together and contacts their leader. At that
moment, the woman invites Bruce to stay in a storage room for the night,
which he gratefully accepts instead of sleeping in the desert. However,
the woman finds that the place is far too cluttered and dirty but Bruce
accepts it anyway. As Nadia leaves, she tells Bruce that if he needs
anything to let her know. Simultaneously, the mastermind behind Home
Base is unimpressed with S-2's cowardice in trying to enlist the
Abomination to their cause. Later that evening there is a massive
downpour of rain which leaks into the shed that Bruce is sleeping in.
Nadia comes out and invites him to come back to her house and sleep
there where it is dry. When her flashlight goes out she admits she is
afraid of the dark and asks Bruce to accompany her while she hunts up
the few candles she has left. Once they are lit, Bruce prepares to go
down to the diner and sleep in one of the booths, but can't help but
wonder why a woman who is afraid of the dark would live out here alone
in the middle of nowhere. She explains that not everyone is a master of
their fate. Deciding that having Banner is there is the lesser of two
evils over the dark, she takes off her nightgown and invites him into
her bed. Banner, joins her and she blows out the candle. Meanwhile, the two Home Base agents are shown video footage of
Bruce Banner as he arrived at the diner earlier that day he then shows
them footage of Banner joining Nadia in bed. Back at Nadia's home, the
two begin talking after their romantic interlude. When Banner tries to
touch the scar on her face she flinches back telling him that they are
her burden. Back at the base, S-2 asks S-3 about the scars on her face.
She explains that she got them "in the trenches". They then go back into
the Abomination's cell and play back the video recordings they have of
Banner. Seeing his oldest foe in bed with his ex-wife causes the
Abomination to explode into a fit of rage so strong that he breaks free
from his shackles. Unphased by this, S-3 takes the Abomination's
reaction as a positive response to their offer.
