One shot: That's New York for ya."

Marvel

She honestly had no idea why this kept happening. Why every time she visited relatives in New York she ran into some superhero or whatever. New York for ya. The first few times it was only brief, sudden instances but now it almost became routine. Sort of.

Her first super was actually a villain. Some giant testosterone steroid hopper with a bucket on his head. Totally got the smack down by this guy with Kitchen knives coming out of his knuckles. Kitchen knives simply growled at her to get to safety and really, who the hell would argue with the man? Not her for damn sure. She enjoyed living thank you very much.

The second was a dude in purple-kickass- with an Epic bow and quiver. He also told her to get to safety and she in her panic of ALIENS used ASL to reply an affirmative. She missed his curious gaze and slight hesitation before returning to action. Her younger brother is legally deaf so the whole family learned how to communicate with him. It helped her immensely when she lost both her sight and vision temporarily in an accident. Separate incidents, both really traumatizing. Those led her to visit New York (and family) for treatment. Took a long time but she recovered. Still going to therapy for the nightmares of that crazed doctor. Moving on!

Third time was not really supers or heroes or villains or mutants but a pack of rabid suits dragged her away from the scene. For the record, she did jump in the line of fire to save a toddler but rabid suits do not like to listen to young girls and are terrifying creatures who need to stay caffeinated and hidden in the shadows for the good of her sanity. Maybe even the worlds'.

After that incident she lost track of her 'run ins' since they were so many.

The ones she remembered the most she treasured completely. Not the rabid suits though.

Like the Red Panda ninja crazy dude. He actually hung out with her during the battle. Threw a grenade here, shot something there and so on. They exchanged recipes and had a lengthy discussion on the fourth wall and ways to break it. Then they bonded over anime and character development. He even helped her escape the rabid suits. Totally earned that snicker doodle recipe.

Then there was The Hulk. She had left the safety of the apartment thinking it was safe to leave and get food or help someone if they would let her. (She kept a first aid kit for reasons!) Didn't think she would end up sitting in the park with a giant rage machine. Which is a lie! Hulk is anything but rageful or a machine. Okay, so he gets mad and is thought to be the personification of rage but try to actually think that when talking with him. He simply feels emotion to a drastic level. Most of it is the fact that he only knows rage or intense emotions like fear or pain or anger. A lot about The Hulk is confusion. He wants to know but does not have to opportunity to learn anything about his emotions or the world around him when he is only in battle type situations. From what she gathered (before and after Hulk transformed into a man) Hulk is a sentient being sharing a mind space with an incredibly intelligent man. A doctor! A freaking amazing scientist! Bruce freaking Banner! Her uncle's idol!

So yeah. She fangirled when Hulk turned into the professor her uncle admired—she even got his signature!—but she also found out very easily that Bruce Banner was filled with fear and confusion and guilt and anger. Both beings felt these emotions. Worst of all, the doctor believed he was a rage filled monster. She only spent a few minutes with Hulk and Bruce and she could see plan as clouds in the sky, he was no monster. She wished she had the opportunity to tell him. To tell him the danger he put himself in keeping a split mind unbalanced as he did. Most of the things she heard of duel personalities or in the cases of chimeras (in the brain) were not so good. They could be perfectly sufficient at living life but to the extreme of Bruce and Hulk…two strong sentient minds in one (or was it two?) bodies would lead to a power struggle. Whoever wins takes over the mind and body. Kinda like how some twins never get to be twins because one baby takes the nutrients the other needs or something along that line of thinking she heard from her family. (Doctors and Engineers oh my!)

She never got the chance to tell him how much of a hero, a good decent person she saw him as for the rabid suits returned with vengeance.

Over time she had passes with Ironman, Ant-man (Giant person), some mutant or another who did not try to kill her, a demi-god-(alien-maybe two?), captain America, more suits, some chick with a kickass Taser, more supers but matching tights, suits, Panda again—new recipes!—a red head who honestly terrified her to her bones, and a few others.

She simply kept a diverse set of snacks in her bag, extra water bottles, the Improved first aid kit, an open mind and love of a good conversation. She ran into superheroes and villains every time she visited her family. Whether her timing sucked or she had a strange knack for attracting super people, she could not really say. It just happened.

That's New York for ya.

I actually finished a One Shot and did not make it into this huge short of thing! BE PROUD WRITING DEITIES!

Just a little something while I work on the next super long but awesome chapter of my stuff.

FEAR NOT MINIONS! I still hold plans for my Transformers works—yes folks 'works' there will be new stuff coming soon. Be afraid.—and more Avenger stuff. And Marvel. And Deadpool. And Stuff. Freaking thirty in process works not including my novel stuff. Can ya'll feel my pain? Anyway. This was a fun little thing that inspired another coming fic! Similar line of thinking but different. With knitting. Lots of fun.

I GOT THE JOB! Well it is a tutoring position in class and outside of class for my Geography class and I got it! I am like halfway to becoming a teacher of SCIENCE! I am so geeked!
