Tess went into an empty meeting room, and sat crossed legged on the floor. "Can you sit please?"

Bruce nodded slightly as he sat down with her.

"You two are upset. You've never been without the other in such a long time, for Pop, ever." Tess started, not wanting to shock her adoptive parents. The Hulk grunted, letting her know he's listening.

Bruce looked at her and Strange for a moment. "It's...it's just hard to adapt or accept."

"What if you didn't have to?"

The Hulk perked up, sitting a little straighter and taller. "Possible?"

"I believe so Pop." Tess told him with a smile.

Bruce bit his lips a little and asked Tess "You sure that's what you want, sweetie?"

"Pop will still be Pop if you and him shared a mind again Papa. You both will still care for me and take care of me. I'm asking if you would want to go back to the way it was before... for the most part." Hulk raised an eyebrow. "Instead of you only being allowed to come out when Papa is mad, you two can trade places anytime you wish. Papa can get externally mad, and you can be completely calm, and not have to emerge."

Bruce nodded slightly and looked over at Hulk. "You okay with this? I'll only so this if any of you are okay with it."

"Okay." Hulk said, a little excited to come out whenever he or Bruce wanted.

Tess smiled. "I asked Dr. Strange to help me a bit, just in case anything happens." She closed her eyes, and the blue light swirled around her before going around Hulk and Bruce. Bruce breaths in as the lights surround him and the Hulk. The light enclosed around them, leaving no sight of the two. Then so gently, they felt a shared darkness around them, one that felt warm and safe.

Strange watches at the lights ingulf the two, waiting until he was needed.

Tess started getting worn out. She hasn't used all this energy in such a positive way before, and someone else had been in control. "Few... more... seconds..."

Strange heard her struggle and starts combining his powers with Tess to help her.

The darkness covered them, and the blue light faded. Hulk found himself looking out Bruce's eyes, back to where he had been since he had been created. 'Hello Bruce, did you miss me?'

'H-Hulk? Hey... sorry you had to be contained again.' Bruce said in his mind as he opens his eyes.

'After being out for so long, it feels nice to be back in here. And as Tess said, you don't have to be mad to let me out, so I can come out more.' Tess smiled proudly, before yawning loudly. 'I think someone is ready for a nap.'

Bruce chuckles a little and went over to pick Tess up gently. "Thank you, Tess." He whispers soft to his daughter, kissing her forehead lightly.

"You're yawn welcome Papa..." Tess buried her head into his chest, falling asleep.

Bruce smiles down at her and then looked back up at Strange. "Tell tony I'll be out in a minute and that I'm putting Tess to bed." He asked Strange, who nodded headed back to the party.

'I'm allowed to threaten her boyfriends if she ever gets one, right?' Hulk watched with love as Tess curled into her pillow, a look of pure peace on her face as she slept.

'Agreed.' Bruce said as he gently placed the blanket around her and kissed her forehead again before he left the room.

'I wonder how Tony is going to react to us back in this way?' Hulk wondered "out loud", feeling much better now that he was home.

Bruce stopped at the hallway when he heard Hulk mention that Tony didn't know. "Shit!" He cursed at himself.
