The first time it happened, it scared him pretty badly. It was like the flashbacks but it was worse when they showed up in your dreams.
Large green hands reaching out to crush cars and flip trucks, smashing through buildings and walls, tossing people aside like rags...
And then he snapped awake in a cold sweat, falling to his knees as he realized he was standing in the hallway of the mansion. He'd been sleepwalking. Fortunately nobody but Jarvis saw him and since he wasn't an intruder, Jarvis didn't say anything about it. Bruce didn't sleep much that night.
Then it happened again. The same dream, the same result. Waking with a start, a cold sweat covering him as he sagged against the door in the foyer of the mansion. This was even farther from his room. Bruce couldn't go on like this, night after night. What if he Hulked out in his sleep next time??
So early morning, he was working in the lab, looking like death warmed over and drinking decaf coffee. Trying to find a cure again....and trying to stay awake. No way he was going to sleep tonight either.
