-Earth 616-

Washington D.C.

The Sentry is attacking the city due to a mind control ray, courtesy of Dr. Doom. His plan is to use Sentry's amazing powers to kill government officials and make the world hate and fear superheroes.

"People of Washington D.C., bow before Doom and the power of the Sentry!" Doom pridefully hollers out as Sentry fires streams of electricity from his hands and body, demolishing several buildings and injuring several people. Soon after, Hulk, the Fantastic Four, and Captain America arrive.

"Reed...you always have a knack for making an entrance." Doom mumbles as the heroes charge towards Sentry. Human Torch throws a fireball at Sentry, though it has no effect on him. The Thing charges at Sentry and punches him, but he shrugs it off and sends him flying with a single electric punch.

"Looks like I have to do all the hard work..." Hulk mumbles as he slowly strolls towards Sentry.

"Hulk. Remember the last time we fought? You almost broke the world. This won't end well for you." Sentry says with a warning tone, trying to get him to stand down.

Hulk simply chuckles mockingly. "Last time we fought...I kicked your electrically charged ass. Even when I became Banner, you still lost."

Hulk then roars as he charges towards Sentry, delivering a brutal right punch to the face, then a left punch to his stomach, followed by a right uppercut, sending the Sentry flying upwards. Hulk leaps after him while Cap and the Fantastic Four run towards Dr. Doom, who is wielding a large laser cannon. Mister Fantastic stretches his fist to hit Doom, only for him to use a device which activates a force field.

Back with Hulk, who collides with Sentry and punches him in the face several times as they freefall towards the ground. Upon landing, Hulk continues to beat Sentry, creating a massive crater in the ground that grows in size with each punch. Eventually, Sentry seems to pass out. Hulk gives off a satisfied grunt as he walks away. However, Sentry was faking it. He slowly gets up and charges up some electrical energy.

"Away with you!" Sentry screams out as the electricity hits Hulk. Hulk's power, mixed with the electricity, sends him through a vortex, sending him to an alternate dimension.

"Hulk!" Cap hollers as the Fantastic Four start to overwhelm Doom. Angered, Cap throws his shield at Sentry, knocking him out for real. With Sentry down, Doom was easily defeated and sent back to Latveria...in chains.

-Alternate Dimension-

Metroville

Hulk lands in an alley in an unfamiliar city. The alley was strangely clean, with barely a piece of trash or graffiti anywhere in sight. He suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed, turning back into Bruce Banner.

"Ughh..." Bruce groans, rubbing the top of his head in discomfort. A combination of going through the portal and the impact itself left him in a great state of disorientation. Upon regaining his footing, Bruce picked up a discarded jacket and trousers. He also found some money. "This isn't Washington..." He mumbles, knowing full well that he must be in an alternate dimension of some kind. He tries using his earpiece to contact Cap, but all he gets is static. "Shit..." He mutters. After stumbling out of the alley, Bruce spots a nearby bar.

-Abandoned Gym-

Two women are sparring, trading punches with each other. After several minutes, one of the women falls to the floor, defeated and unconscious. The victor is an unassuming and beautiful young woman with shoulder length black hair and an ample figure. She raises her fists in celebration.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has happened again! Give it up for the winner and seven time champion...Ms. Powerhouse!" The announcer declares, followed by the large crowd cheering.

-Later-

Bar

Bruce is sitting at a booth alone, eating a burger and fries with a soda, as he didn't drink beer that much, but he would on certain occasions. Ms. Powerhouse, now wearing civilian clothes, enters the bar. Upon noticing Bruce out of the corner of her eye, she smiles cutely and sits in the seat opposite to his in the booth. Bruce immediately raised an eyebrow at this.

"Mind if I sit here?" She asked innocently. Bruce smiles lightly at her question.

"Uh, no. Not at all. I don't mind." Bruce says with a bigger smile.

"What's your name?" She asked rather intrusively.

"Why do you want to know my name?" He asked, naturally confused and somewhat cautious. He didn't know this admittedly very attractive woman, and for all he knows, could be some kind of murderer or stalker.

"Just being polite. I'm not a stalker or anything like that."

Bruce lightly chuckles at her quip about not being a stalker. "Bruce. My name is Bruce." He says politely, which Ms. Powerhouse smiles in response.

"Nice to meet you, Bruce. I'm Linda. Linda Walker." She says with a cute smile as she offers her hand for Bruce to shake, which he happily obliges to and shakes it with his own hand.

-Later-

After a few drinks, Bruce and Linda exit the bar, enjoying each other's company after Linda manages to convince Bruce that she means him no harm. Bruce just now noticed that she was quite large for a young woman. She was almost two feet taller than him, which made his cautious feeling about trusting her reemerge.

"Well...I guess this is where I go home, Bruce."

Bruce nods his head slowly, obviously wanting to spend more time with Linda. "Guess it is. Will I...see you again?"

Linda was happy to hear that Bruce wanted to see her again, smiling a bit as she nods her head. "You can bet on it, handsome." Immediately after saying that, Linda blushes and lets out an adorable giggle of embarrassment. "Oh, God. Was that out loud?"

Bruce chuckles as he nods his head. "Uh, yeah. That was out loud."

Linda chuckles a bit. "Sorry. I...I have to go. I hope I get to see you again soon."

Bruce nods his head. "Me too, Linda. Bye."

"Bye, Bruce." Linda waves goodbye as she turns around and begins to walk home.

As Bruce disappears from view, Linda notices several thugs with hi-tech sonic cannons trying to rob a nearby bank. "Never time to rest when you're a secret superhero..." She mumbles to herself as she enters an abandoned alley and changes into a brightly colored costume and runs over to the thugs, taking one of them down by kicking out his knee and lightly tossing him into a wall. The other thugs spin around and face her.

"Ms. Powerhouse! Thought you were supposed to be retired?" The head thug commented.

"A Super's work never ends, Arcflash." Ms. Powerhouse retorts with a light grin as one of the thugs fires their sonic cannon at her, only for her to giggle loudly. "Hehe. That tickles...! Hahahahahaha! That seriously tickles...!"

"This won't." Arcflash angrily says as he uses his power of sonic vibrations on her, causing immense pain in her head.

"Aaaah!" She screams in pain as she puts her palms on the sides of her head.

Across the street, Bruce sees her being practically tortured by Arcflash. He runs over to help, only for Arcflash to blast him against a wall. However, that just made Bruce mad. He slowly gets up, his eyes and skin slowly changing green as he transforms.

"Stop...hurting...her!" Hulk says angrily, grinding his teeth and clenching his large fists.

"What the-?" Arcflash exclaims as he uses his powers on Hulk, but they barely faze him as much as they do to Ms. Powerhouse. She quickly recovers and swiftly takes out the thugs with rapid succession. Hulk slowly walks up to Arcflash, breaks his hands at the wrists, and throws him into a car. After all the thugs are apprehended, Ms. Powerhouse focuses her attention on her jade-skinned savior.

"Thanks...for saving me. But I had everything under control." She says pridefully as she uses a lamp post to wrap up Arcflash and his henchmen.

Hulk scoffs at her words. "Pffft. Didn't look like it from where I stood.." He says as he crosses his arms.

"Whatever, big guy. Regardless...thank you. Ahem. Ms. Powerhouse." She says as she holds out her hand for him.

Hulk looks at her hand before lightly shaking it. "Hulk."

"Well, Hulk...I guess I owe you one, since you did save my life. Heh. Do you...have a place to stay?"

Hulk shakes his head in answer. "Nope."

"Well...how about this? You can stay at my place. Get you a very big bed, some food in you. It'll be fun. It'll be like a...superhero sleepover. Hehe." She chuckles nervously. Despite just meeting him, she found herself very attracted to him, though she had no idea why.

Hulk simply chuckles as he crosses his arms again. "Do I have a choice?"

"Nope. You're spending the night with me." She says with a playful expression on her face.

"Okay then." Hulk says. "Lead the way."

Ms. Powerhouse smiles in victory as she leads him down the sidewalk. It'd take ten minutes to reach her house...
