I have the best dreams sometimes.
Here's the main plot, as it unraveled: Bruce Banner (or at least a Banner-like character) is mutated by gamma radiation and so becomes the Hulk when angry - the love of his life was also in the house and was exposed to the radiation as well. She turned out to be more tragic, though, because she had less control over her emotions and would become a monster at any intense emotion whatsoever. The love between her and Banner was too sad and strong - she had to stay far away from him if she was going to have any chance at controlling her "other guy." She ran with a sidekick, a superhero, who was strong enough to keep her in check when she lost control. He was a companion but never a love interest.
By chance, they both end up at the same show. She sees Banner first - immediately begins transformation out of intense joy, looks to her handler for permission to go embrace her love, which he reluctantly gives. Banner has at this point gained significant control over his Hulk alter-ego and upon seeing her running towards him and transforming, assumes Hulk form so that she can jump into his arms and they embrace, laughing, overjoyed, haven't seen each other in months. It was a Kodak moment. (Remember when "Kodak moment" was a colloquialism?)
Other details: my mom was on overbearing suicide watch, dad and I got stuck in a marching band routine, I tried to play the marimba but a black guy saved me from embarrassment by starting to actually play guitar. I got up to leave since he had given me an out, but was afraid that I would seem like I was leaving because he was black so I made sure to lovingly pat his kid's shoulder as I went past.
