"I understand. Just know I sternly declined a contract from the Hulkbusters. I got blacklisted as a result but I still stand by my decision." He'd been offered a lot of money to take down Bruce but Adrian never even considered it and was pretty rude to the Hulkbusters in his refusal to be their lackey.
"Man and I thought I hated needles." Adrian kept a straight face, still terrified of pissing off the Hulk. It had been pounded into the soldiers brain and he remembered his mentor Dum Dum Dugan saying clearly "If you ever encounter the Hulk, don't be a hero or the Hulk will break you in half. If you ever encounter the Hulk you run your fuckin ass off!" The conversation was very clear in his mind, the words of Dum Dum although unspoken by Adrian were playing out in his head as the needle was about to be stuck in his arm.
"Nothing against you doc, but I'm not gonna lie. The Hulk scares the livin hell out of me. Just thought you should know."
