Natasha and Bruce meet in Calcutta, where Dr. Banner has taken refuge in order to help people as a doctor. She is sent by Nick Fury to bring him into the fold and Bruce doesn't trust her — or S.H.I.E.L.D. — and is very antagonistic towards her. After the attack by Loki's brainwashed cohorts, Natasha attempts to keep Dr. Banner calm, even calling him Bruce although they have nary interacted at that point. Alas, he transforms and just before Thor throttles the Hulk, Natasha is face to face with him and terrified.

Following the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers work to retrieve Loki's sceptre and Natasha is tasked with administering a balm that will bring the Hulk back to Dr. Banner. While she is still terrified, they share a sweet, intimate connection as she gently touches that Hulk's hand and arm.
