Summary
The breaking point comes out of nowhere. Bruce is sitting in the kitchen around noon, and Clint walks in and microwaves up an Indian curry. Natasha comes in too, dressed up for a short assignment, and her perfume smells like jasmine and opium. Tony is already there, holding a tumbler of very expensive scotch. And all these smells sliding together - from different continents and different places - the cardamom and lemongrass and jasmine and peat moss - Bruce can feel them all and his entire body tenses, and he is absolutely certain that he wants to leave.
Dr. Bruce Banner packs his backpack - two pants, four shirts, a toothbrush, three sets of forged documentation, and twenty thousand dollars in cash - and walks out of Avengers Tower. He drops his phone in an envelope, then a mailbox, and disappears.
Natasha follows.
