                One day in Milan, a scientist name Dr. Banner was jogging in the afternoon. After he jogged far enough from his apartment, he stopped at a basketball court to take a rest and tighten his shoes tie. At that time, a basketball player, Tony Stark was playing basketball with his friends. When they play basketball, Tony hit the ball and the ball slide to Banner. Then, Banner took the ball and tried to do a jump shoot. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do it well and the ball wasn’t even touch the ring. Tony and friends laughed very loud. After that, Tony took the ball; shoot it with only his single hand, with his eyes looked at banner. The ball was in. Then, they continue their game. Doesn’t wanted to be a loser, Banner took the ball from Tony with his chest, did a kick flick trick, and shoot the ball to the ring. The ball was in. Tony and friends were shock. So, Tony asked Banner an apologized because of laughing him. From that time, Tony and Banner know each other.
                “Sorry because I’ve laughed at you.” said Tony.
                “It’s OK Tony. It’s true that I am really bad at basketball.” replied Banner.
                “Yeah. But you’re really good at soccer.”
                “Ha-ha. That’s my special.”
                From that time, Tony and Banner became a good friend. They shared their happiness and sadness to each other. But, they had not shared their top secret to each other. After make a friendship in a long time, Tony felt that he need to tell Banner about who he was. So, he invited Banner to his house.
                “Hey Banner, do you have time tonight?” asked Tony from the phone.
                “I don’t think so. What is it Tony?”
                “How if you come to Start Tower tonight? I have something to say to you.”
                “OK Tony. I’ll come in a minute.” said Banner.
                Just in a minute, Banner was already in front of the Stark Tower. Then, he pushed the bell and get into the Tony house.
                “What is it Tony?” said Banner.
                “Banner, do you know the man with an iron suit, flying in the sky?”
                “Yeah, I know it. People call it Iron Man.
                “Well, I’m Iron Man, Banner.”
                “What? You must be kidding me Tony.”
                “Come with me. I’ll show you something”
Then, Tony and Banner got into the basement. Just in a minute, Tony put on his iron suit and became an Iron Man.
                “Now you believe?” said Tony.
                “Hell yeah. It’s so cool Tony. And not just you have a secret. Now, I’ll tell you my secret too Tony.”
                “What is it?”
                “You know hulk right? The green and big guy?”
                “Of course. Everyone knows him.”
                “It’s me Tony. I’m the Incredible Hulk.”
                “Wow. It really surprise me. I think we need to celebrate this Banner. Come one.”
Then, they went to a bar and have fun in there. From that time, they help each other and tighten their friendship. But, it was change when a man named Nick Fury came to Stark Tower. He is an American agency.
                “Excuse me Mr. Stark. We need to talk to you.” said Nick.
                “Who are you? Why are you in my tower?” said Tony.
                “My name is Nick Fury. I’m from the American agency. We come here to make a deal with you.”
                “Wait, American agency? What deal do you want to make with me?”
                “You know the big and green guy in the news right? We need your help to capture him.”
                “Me? Why me? How can I do that?” ask Tony.
                “Of course you can. You’re the Iron man. Right Tony?”
                “Hmmh. How if I don’t want to do that?”
                “That mean we have to confiscate the Stark Tower.”
                “No way. You can’t do that.”
                “Of course we can, Tony.”
                “And when I’m done?”
                “We won’t confiscate your tower. It’s very simple.”
                So, Tony didn’t have any choice. He did what the American agency wants. Then, he invited Banner to come to his tower and trap him.
                “Banner, can you come to my tower for a dinner tonight?” ask Tony.
                “Sure Tony. I’ll come to your tower tonight.”
                Then, the American agency helped Tony to make a trap for captured Banner. They put the military all over the stark tower. In the night, Banner came to Stark Tower just like what he said. Banner didn’t know anything about the trap that Tony set for him. And suddenly, all of the military appeared and surrounded Banner.
                “What is this Tony? Is this your plan? Ask Banner.
                “No Banner. They push me to do this. It’s not like what are you thinking. Just stay with them for a while and I will make the medicine to cure you.” said Tony.
                “And what make you believe that I will listen to you after you betray me?”
                Suddenly, Banner turned green and looked very angry. He became hulk. He destroyed everything in front of him. He tried to escape from the military. He punched and punched everything.
                “You’ve break my heart Tony. I trust you all this time. From now on, we’re not friend anymore.” said Banner.
                “No. Banner, wait up. You must listen to me. BANNER!”
                And there is where their friendship broke. Tony had betrayed Banner for just his tower. A friendship couldn’t be buy just with a tower.
