"So there going to give Blonsky that Super Soldier Serum they developed?" Sato asked.

"Which means Blonsky might be getting a Quirk." Inko said.

"That could be really good. But will it be enough to match Banner?" Tsu wondered.

"We'll just have to wait and see." Shoji said.

The scene changed to an overshot of a school. Some text appeared.

'CULVER UNIVERSITY - VIRGINIA'

The scene cut to Banner sitting on a bench pretending to read a newspaper. He got up and made his way towards the university's campus. Some text appeared.

'DAYS WITHOUT INCIDENT: 17'

(0:34:11 - 0:34:29)

"So it's been sixteen days now." Iida said.

"That's a long walk." Mineta said.

"But it seems he's reached his destination." Kurogiri said.

"So the data is here at the University. I suppose that makes since." Izuku said.

"Huh? How does that make since?" Sero asked.

"One of the newspapers during the film's intro sequence stated that the first incident involving Banner occurred in one of the University's laboratories." Momo explained.

He walked towards the entrance of the school but saw a security guard who was checking the student's IDs before letting them enter.

Having no way past the guard, Banner decides to leave and come up with a new plan.

(0:34:29 - 0:34:45)

"Yet another obstacle." Gentle sighed.

"If he wants that data, he'll have to get past the security first." Compress said.

"Just kill the guard, get the data, and fight your way out!" Shigaraki said. "It's not like the cops or military can stop you!"

"He wishes to remain hidden and avoid violence, Tomura." Kurogiri said. "He'll have to find a more subtle approach."

"How can someone so powerful be so determined to run from a fight." Shigaraki groaned.

The scene cuts to Banner, outside and leaving the campus. He then came to a stop upon seeing something. He stood there for a moment before making his way towards the thing that got his attention.

He made his way towards the University's Biological Sciences Building. He approached a directory that listed the names of various students. He focused on one name in particular. Dr. Elizabeth Ross.

(0:34:45 - 0:35:19)

"Wait, Ross!" Toru said.

"So she's Ross' daughter?" Momo wondered.

"Yep. Elizabeth Ross is the daughter of Thaddeus Ross." Trixter said.

"So Bruce's girlfriend is the daughter of the guy who's chasing him?" La Brava questioned.

"Ex-girlfriend." Dabi said. "Ross mentioned earlier that Betty was 'no longer a factor'. I doubt she and Banner are still together after everything that's happened."

"This does, however, give even more reason as to why Ross is so determined to catch Banner." Recovery Girl said.

"Elizabeth was injured when Banner first transformed. Given that it was the result of Banner's recklessness, Ross' anger during the earlier scenes is even more justified." Nighteye said.

The scene cut to Betty leaving the building with two other people. Banner was watching her from a distance.

(0:35:19 - 0:35:31)

"Oh! There she is." Uraraka said.

"Is Banner gonna reunite with his long lost love?!" Mina gasped.

"I doubt it. He's probably better off staying out of her life." Dabi said.

Betty then separated from the other two people and sat on a bench. Banner stood by a tree as he watched her, clearly wishing he could speak to her.

(0:35:31 - 0:35:51)

This scene was very sad for the audience. It was clear that Banner really missed Betty, but couldn't reconnect with her due to his status as a fugitive. He had no choice but to keep his distance.

Betty then looked in Banner's direction. Banner, fearing that Betty might have seen him, tried to hide behind the tree.

(0:35:51 - 0:35:57)

"Huh! Did she see him?!" Toru wondered.

Betty then smiled at the person she was actually looking at, Leonard Samson. Betty got up and the two began walking together.

(0:35:57 - 0:36:07)

"Oh." Toru said.

"That was close. It would be bad if she knew he was there." Tsu said.

"How?! If she knew he was there then they could reconnect." Mina said.

"Because as much as he might want that, he at least knows that it isn't a good idea." Midnight said. "The last thing she needs is her former boyfriend turned villain walking back into her life."

Banner emerged from behind the tree and watched as Betty walked away with Samson, the two of them holding hands.

Banner, realizing that Betty may be in a new relationship, looked down with a sad expression. He then turned around and left.

(0:36:07 - 0:36:20)

"Hang on! Is that guy her new boyfriend?!" La Brava asked.

"It isn't really surprising if that's the case. She was bound to move on eventually." Jiro said.

"Still, it's kind of messed up." La Brava said.

"Her previous boyfriend became a fugitive and nearly killed her. How is it messed up that she got a new boyfriend?" Kirishima questioned.

The scene changed to a pizza restaurant called Stanley's Pizza Parlor. The owner, Stanley Lieber, was saying goodbye to his last to customers before closing up for the day.

As Stanley was locking the door, Banner approached and knocked. Stanley didn't look at them and simply pointed at the sign that said closed. Banner simply knocked again and Stanley finally looked to see who it was. He immediately let Banner in upon seeing them.

(0:36:20 - 0:36:43)

"He seems to recognize Banner." Thirteen said.

"An old acquaintance perhaps." Endeavor said.

The scene cut to Banner and Stanley sitting in the kitchen having a chat.

"Stan, I give you my word, whatever you've heard about me, it's not true." Banner said.

"Oh, I know it. I always knew it." Stanley said.

Stanley then brought up Betty, asking if Banner has spoken with her. Banner explained that she doesn't even know that he's there.

Banner then asked if Betty was with somebody.

"Yeah, he's a head shrink. They say he's one of the best. But a really nice guy." Stanley explained.

"Good. That's good." Banner said, although it was clear that he was somewhat hurt by the fact that Betty had moved on from him.

(0:36:43 - 0:37:15)

"At least she's with someone nice." Uraraka said.

"It's nice to see that Banner still cares about her." Mina said.

Stanley asked if there was anything he could do to help Banner. Banner explained that they could use a place to stay. Stanley told Banner they could use the spare room upstairs.

(0:37:15 - 0:37:25)

"He's seriously gonna help a villain?" Mineta said.

"Well, he clearly trusts Banner. Although it is disappointing that he's doing something so clearly illegal." Momo said.

"At least Bruce has someone who will help him." Toga smiled.

"There is, um, there is one other thing." Banner said.

The scene then cut Carver University, with Banner disguised as a pizza delivery guy. He was riding a bike past several students as he made his way towards the school entrance.

The scene cut to Banner, now inside the building, approaching the security guard.

"Hey, pal. I got a delivery on five." Banner said.

(0:37:25 - 0:37:43)

"You're kidding me." Shigaraki said.

"This is how he plans to sneak in?" Aizawa raised an eyebrow.

"It is a rather... unique approach." Compress said. "Still, I like the creativity."

"Modern problems require modern solutions. Pizza time!" Twice said.

"I don't think there's anybody up there." The guard said.

"Oh, man. I'm gonna catch hell if I don't collect. You got to let me try." Banner pleaded.

The guard just stared at Banner, unconvinced.

Banner then offered the guard a free medium pizza. The guard got up and analyzed the pizza before looking back at Banner and allowing them to enter.

"You are the man." Banner said as he and the guard grasped each other's hands.

"God bless you, brother." The guard said.

Banner walked off and the guard sat down to enjoy his pizza.

(0:37:43 - 0:38:12)

"That actually worked?!" The students gaped.

"I guess sometimes the simple approach can work surprisingly well." Izuku said.

"This is why we use security bots at UA. Machines are so much more reliable than humans." Nezu said.

The scene cut to Banner wandering through the halls of the school. He was walking past a computer lab. As he walked past the windows of the room, the scene shifted to a flashback sequence of the lab back when Banner first became the Hulk.

(0:38:12 - 0:38:30)

"Huh?" Ojiro questioned.

"Is this the room where the experiment took place? When Banner tested the Super Soldier Serum on himself?" Iida asked.

"I think so. Which means the data is located here." Recovery Girl said.

"They completely revamped the room." Uraraka said.

"Most likely to cover up the incident." Kurogiri said.

Betty was shown watching as Banner began the test. The Gamma Ray Projector slowly moved in front of Banner. He winked at Betty as the test began.

Once the Gamma Ray Projector was completely in front of Banner, the roar of Hulk could be heard and the flashback suddenly ended.

(0:38:30 - 0:38:44)

"The moment the man became the beast." Tokoyami said. "A truly regrettable day." Dark Shadow added.

As Banner stood outside the computer lab, he noticed someone sitting in the room who was looking at him. (Guess what! That person in the room is actually Roger Harrington. The Decathlon Team teacher in Spider-Man: Homecoming.)

The scene cut to Banner now in the room, sitting in front of one of the computers. He began logging in using Betty's account. He glanced at Harrington, who was on the other side of the table. They held up a slice of pizza, revealing that they were bribed just like the guard.

(0:38:44 - 0:39:00)

The audience chuckled.

"People will seriously let him do whatever he wants in the school just for some pizza?" Endeavor raised an eyebrow.

"I probably would." Kaminari said.

Banner looked back at the computer and logged in. He began his search for the data, starting with files relating to the project he worked on.

'GAMMA PULSE' Banner typed into the project search bar. Nothing came up.

Banner then tried searching for files relating to himself.

'B* BANNER' Banner typed into the name search bar. Once again, nothing came up.

Banner sighed, realizing that all the data was gone.

(0:39:00 - 0:39:35)

"The data is... gone?" Kirishima questioned.

"Ross probably wiped the data." Dabi said.

"Then what's Bruce gonna do now?" Toga wondered.

Having run out of ideas, Banner decided to message Mr. Blue.

Mr. Blue: Mr. Green! How goes the search?

Mr. Green: The data is gone.

Mr. Blue: Without it... I cannot help.

Banner didn't seem shocked by this. In fact, he just seemed disappointed. While it seemed as though Banner's only hope of finding a cure was gone, that wasn't the case. This scene showed that Banner never had much hope in this plan to begin with. This endeavor ended exactly how he expected. In failure.

Mr. Blue: So what now?

Mr. Green: I've got to keep moving.

(0:39:35 - 0:40:08)

"So that's it... He's just gonna run for the rest of his life...?" Jiro said.

"He doesn't have any other options. Without that cure, Ross will continue hunting Banner down in hopes of weaponizing his Quirk." Kurogiri said. "If Banner wishes to keep that from happening, he will have to keep running."

"That's so sad..." Uraraka said.

The audience felt really bad for Banner. He has reached a dead end. He will never be able to cure himself. Now, he has to keep running. Running is all he can do.

The villains saw this as Banner's best option. He could very easily fight back, become a real villain. But he clearly didn't want that.

The heroes, despite understanding the tragedy of Banner's situation, still felt that he should stop running. It's over now. His search for a cure has been fruitless. At this point, his best option is to give up and turn himself in. Running will only endanger more people.

The audience wondered where things would go from here.
