Sybil sat next to her and hugged her. "It's great to have you back. Also, that hulk thing? Totally shouldn't hide it. Control it, sure. But you would be so cool if you could be a superhero with it."

"Is that possible?" Brenna asked tiredly.

"I did it," Jennifer said softly. "The choice is up to you, Brenna."

"It's dangerous," Brenna argued.

"But there's a lot of potential," Sybil reminded her. "A lot of power can be used for a lot of good. You can use the power you have to improve this place."

"I can help you," Jennifer reminded her. "You are not alone."

Brenna looked up with a smile and an almost green glow in her eye. "Then I think there might be something to this idea."

~The secret side of me, I never let you see~

Brenna Banner cracked her eyes open at nine thirty in the morning. Her eyes widened. "Oh no!" She fell out of bed and stumbled to her dresser. "Shoot!"

Her aunt, Jennifer Walters, appeared at the doorway. "You're in a hurry."

"I'm going to be late for school."

Jennifer cocked her head. "Brenna, slow down…slow down, look at me."

Brenna turned. "What's up, Aunt Jen?"

"With your condition and all, I'm not sure if you should return to school," Jennifer said.

Brenna started. "What?"

"At least, not for a while. Until you get a better grip on your power," Jennifer explained.

"But I'll get behind! I do have a good grip on my condition," Brenna protested.

"Ignoring and stifling is not a good grip," Jennifer said. "It is simply postponing the inevitable. And whenever you do that, the result is always worse. It simply makes your next hulk-out that much more destructive and out of control."

"This is what Dad does, though," Brenna said.

Jennifer sighed. Bruce Banner was still nowhere to be found. After a brief stay with them, he had disappeared when he feared General Thaddeus Ross's pursuit, leaving his fourteen year old daughter brokenhearted.

"Your father's way of dealing with his condition is not the best, if you want my opinion. Then again, he believes my way is dangerous as well. If you want to protect this town, you must be ready and able to control the She-Hulk," Jennifer said patiently.

Brenna sat down on her bed. "Then what will I do?"

"I will homeschool you," Jennifer offered. "Sybil can come over after school and keep you caught up." She put her hands on her niece's shoulders. "I promise you, we will handle this together."

Brenna nodded. "Alright then."

I'm back! And so is Brenna, Jennifer, and Sybil for round two of smashing! Thanks so much for reading! Please leave a review to let me know what you think, I really appreciate it. As always, I'll see you all next time.
