Canon Update Schedule.
PREFACE NOTE: A bunch of this might and probably will go AU, this is just for our own reference.
Background: Nick Fury's been tracking Bruce alongside military, specifically traced to southwest US before he crossed the border to Mexico and has been in South America ever since. Destruction caused by the Hulk was publicized in ambiguous detail - five years since initial transformation, two years since Bruce left North America. Tony Stark is motherfuckin' Tony Stark, and since the news was as big as it was, Bruce probably knows who Iron Man is and so on. Stark Industries was previously involved in creating the super soldier serum (confirmed in released backstory to Captain America movie) which was what Bruce was working on, though he thought it was about radiation resistence.
--Bruce contacts Mr. Blue, fails with flower thing, sends vial of his blood. General Ross tracks Bruce's location, shows up with military and Blonsky, most of the soldiers die. Bruce wakes up miles later in Guatemala.
--toxicity levels rising in Tony
--Makes his homeless way walking and hitchhiking up to Culver University, VA to meet up with Betty. Takes him 17 days.
--Stark Expo, Congress appearance, handing the company over to Pepper, getting attacked at the Grand Prix, Hammer breaking Vanko out, Tony's birthday party, Rhodey stealing the suit and Nick Fury visiting Tony all happen during this time.
--Bruce and Betty reconnect, he talks to the guy at the pizza place, stays at her place for the night and recovers the data from her.
--Tony makes a new element while Hammer starts to threaten Vanko, Vanko then hacks in and calls Tony
--Military catches up again and they have their big blow out with the sonic cannons at the university (cannons apparently produced by S.I. too, go figure). This is the news coverage from IM2.
--Stark Expo 2.0, the throwdown, Natalie breaking into Hammer's facility
--He and Betty go on the run to NYC to meet up with Mr. Blue. They get there, do the testing, it suppresses a specific incident.
--Tony's in his lab with Fury and the Hulk footage is on the news
--Military tracks them AGAIN, Bruce gets tranq'd, captured by General Ross, showdown with Hulk vs. the Abomination (that last fight is probably also on the news).
--Award ceremony for Tony and Rhodey.
--We next see Bruce a month later in Bella Coola, British Columbia, gaining control over the Hulk.
--Tony talks to General Ross.
