[Imagine the Cherry bomb song over that title]
According to Howard's estimation Bruce should be done with the experiment today by that he meant self testing due to being desperate for money from a corporate ass called general Ross.

POV Bruce Banner
Today was my last attempt. My last hope I had done everything to give them what they asked for but it just didn't seem possible.
It wasn't safe enough it wasn't affordable enough it wasn't intuitive enough.
I wasn't enough so if I can't get it done today through my own means and I'll give up letting my dream fade to the background.
As I geared up into a giant mechanized suit like thing glowing in a dark green.
The countdown began as the gamma irradiated serum went into my veins. It felt like lava coursing through me the most painful thing I had ever experienced. I soon went unconscious.

Hulk PoV
Huh, what is Hulk how is Hulk what is Banner why is he so weak

Third POV
Outside of Culver University there are three people Red Hawk, Arden and Auggie although he was 56 now there wasn't many people who could beat him in a fight he could Dodge bullets take on up to 200 men at the same time and he was still blind so.
Although his senses were still lacking compared to daredevils by a large margin the superhuman strength made up for it in many ways.
Hulk burst out of the building screaming
"WHERE IS HULK!"
Auggie walked up to Hulk calmly as if unfearing of the danger and simply said
"You are in Virginia particularly Culver University"
Hulk looked down at the strange man holding what appeared to be a long stick but he felt this tick of the back of his neck like this man could stand against him.
Hulk took a step back as he said "what does Stickman want, why Hulk here?"
Looking up at Hulk Auggie looked at Hulk and said "Banner made a dumb decision and you were born"
This seemed to make Hulk chuckle as he said in a shout "PUNY Banner dumb"
Tony and Arden look towards each other understanding that they were there for no reason at all as Auggie talk to Hulk until he brucified again.
When he did Auggie and Tony tried to talk him down.
"Have you ever heard of DID"Tony said through his mask
Bruce looked up disheartened and scared.
"You mean that weird mind thing I've only heard rumors I mostly studied gamma rays"
Tony turned to Banner once more" basically when you experience a trauma to such an extent a new personality will take its place to hold that burden for you the personality that came a forth for you was the Hulk a being of rage and strength"
Banner seemed a little panicked at this but he nonetheless asked his next question" that's what that thing was, how do I get rid of it"
Auggie placed his hand on Bruce's shoulder as he said"he is as much alive as you are; do you want to die simply because the other is afraid of you"
For all intents and purposes Bruce Banner had died in a failed experiment. Which would be partially true because it was a failed experiment it just was a success in other ways.
Betty obviously knew of the lie. But it took some convincing to make her lie to her father. If it weren't for Auggie and his computer skills the proof they needed to convince the stuff out daughter would have been rather difficult to obtain.
Tony put Banner in therapy with a one Emma Frost she had grown bored of squabbles between the X-Men and the brotherhood. Her company had yet to take off but she was beginning the groundwork.
-
It took 2 years but Bruce and Hulk became a unit rather than to opposing forces when Banner had an idea or hit a wall Hulk would give him the downgraded version that he needed, sometimes he couldn't think simply. And when Hulk was brought out to fight Bruce would use his intelligence to boost hulk's already insane power to win at a all new level.
[Hulk with martial arts/tactics think that over. Personally I believe that this is way better than smart Hulk you still got all the elements of the Hulk that you love just more directed]
Though I'm many things have changed about what would be and what could be the Stark expo was still happening. And although Stark never had palladium poisoning nor did he even need the hawk armor he was still an inventor and he loved doing these events with his father.
Now although Anton was monitored by shield when you've been asked to monitor the same guy for 30 years and nothing eventful has happened you tend to get lazy or at least the guy who was watching him did so they failed to realize what he was doing before he left illegally of course but at least they knew he was out of Russia.
In the audience was a few notable people. We had Howard Stark super soldier Tony Stark super soldier / vigilante Bucky Barnes super soldier with cybernetic arm and super soldier Chronobit champion Bruce couldn't attend he was in therapy.
The expo went a lot like the movie except for the tech presented by Stark was beyond anything he presented before with the ideas of Arden along with the ingenious abilities of not only Tony but his father they were able to create some very interesting tech.
Such as a regular VR headset. They had made a full dive version but that was used for training. With this Stark industries would not only conquer the energy industry but also the gaming industry as they invited all gaming platforms to use their services to use their VR this wouldn't do much in the beginning but after the full dive was released in 2015 or so this would truly prosper. Their services would of course come at a fee but that was all business.
They're still Justin Hammer behind him were 12 sentry's that did not look like iron Man because iron Man did not exist nor did Justin or Ivan have any idea Red Hawk was Tony but Ivan still wanted to get his revenge for his father in The Arc reactor even more so the fact that Howard was still alive while his father laid dead.
The sentry's look like the ironmonger but taller and just like in the movie they turned on Justin hammer as everybody ran screaming but not everybody screamed and not everybody ran.
Before these 12 goliaths stood four people including a blind man and an amputee
