When It Pays To Keep Your Cool
[Small blurb I wrote after reading a few entries about Agent Hill. Don't know if I got the voices right but I gave it my best shot]
"Banner! Hold it."
Bruce winced internally as he heard Agent Hill's footsteps coming up behind him. He turned around, hoping this wasn't going to be a scene. He'd heard scare stories from Clint about her but had managed to avoid the agent thus far. She was positively radiating an icy demenanor while at the same time looking furious. "I want to talk to you about this civillain you brought into the mansion." At first, Bruce didn't know what she meant but his eyes widened as he realized she meant Betty. "What do you mean?" he asked cautiously. Agent Hill narrowed her eyes at Bruce. "Don't think I know why you brought Dr. Ross here, this is an agency project NOT a boarding school. We're not keeping her here so you two can make out in the bushes after dark." Bruce set his jaw at that, keeping his temper in check. "That's not why..." he started but she interrupted him with a finger tapping against his chest. "You are here for security reasons. She isn't. I know what's going on between you two. I've already planned on talking to Director Fury about this but I'm giving you the chance to boot her out before I do."
His fist clenched at that, looking away before he decided to do something extremely rash....like socking her in the face. He said as calmly as he could, "Dr. Ross is an expert in her field, I can work twice as fast with her help." Agent Hill snorts as if she doesn't believe that. "Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. No, Banner, that doesn't fly with me. I'm not putting up with that from you, I already get too much of that from Stark." She leaned in to his personal space with an icy glare. "Deal with this before I deal with it for you." Bruce keeps his eyes pointedly averted till she walks away and lets out the breath he was holding. He scrubs a hand across his face, trying to keep calm as he walks the other way down the corridor.
After a moment, Tony, Hawkeye, and Thor step out of their respective doorways from where they had been listening in, Hawkeye close behind Tony with his hand out and a grin on his face. "Pay up, Stark." Tony shakes his head as he digs out a wallet, "How did I lose that?? Cannot believe he didn't go green and kick her teeth in. I would have and Betty's not even my girlfriend." Thor is grinning at this exchange, "Perhaps he is more in control than you thought."
"A good thing, but still to be on the safe side, lets go eavesdrop on that conversation with Fury." Tony not only wanted to make sure Betty was here for Bruce...he wanted to see Hill's face when Fury told her no.
