-Marvel Universe-

Cap and Thor search the HYDRA base for Hulk, unaware of his true location. They eventually give up after an hour of searching.

"No sign of him, Captain." Thor says. "I do not know where he has gone."

Cap sighs, frustrated by the 'loss' of their ally. "Guess we'll just...wait for him to pop up..."


-Camp Half-Blood-

Hulk's Cabin

Hulk lays on a large wood framed bed, looking at a large lake. He sighs peacefully, enjoying his new 'home' while the other residents of the camp were...less than thrilled by the new arrival. As Hulk continues to look at the lake, a familiar face watches him from afar. Aphrodite is looking at him from the outer border of the camp.

"Amazing creature. Hmmm. Those arms...must have a lot of strength in them." Aphrodite whispers to herself as her eyes look upon Hulk's body from a safe distance. She couldn't believe how flawless he looked, despite his green skin and freakishly large size. As Hulk leaves the cabin, Aphrodite disappears, not wanting Hulk to see her...yet.

Hulk walks towards a section of the camp that has several tables of food, including eggs, bacon, and several other delicious food products. Annabeth and the other campers stare at him, still unable to trust him due to not knowing anything about him, though Annabeth reserved her judgement more than the others, albeit slightly. Hulk grabs two separate plates and covers them with eggs, bacon and ham before heading back to his cabin, Annabeth following closely.

Hulk starts eating like a starved animal, practically shoving the food into his mouth without a care in the world. Annabeth sighs as she walks over, carrying an empty cup in one hand and a pitcher of juice in the other, placing them on a side table before sitting across from Hulk.

"Hi." Hulk simply says as Annabeth pours some juice into his cup.

"Hey. Everybody still scared of you, huh? That's gotta suck." Annabeth says, feeling bad for Hulk's early treatment. "Well, when you look like a..leprechaun on steroids, it comes with the territory.

"I'm used to it. Though you look good..." Hulk tries to say as he looks at Annabeth, who was so attractive, it felt unfair for him.

Annabeth lightly laughs in response to his somewhat flirty line. "Well...yeah, pretty much." Hulk was embarrassed that Annabeth figured out that he found her attractive. "Hey. People call me hot literally all the time. It's no big deal." Annabeth laughs as she leans forward and pats him on the shoulder.

"Thanks. So, what is this place?" Hulk asks, curious as to what happens at Camp Half-Blood.

"Camp Half-Blood. It's basically an academy for children of the gods known as Half-Bloods, meaning half mortal, half god. Hence the name, Camp Half-Blood. We learn how to fight and be heroes for upcoming dangers." Annabeth says as Hulk starts to eat slowly and more gentleman-like.

"Dangers? Like what?" He asks as he takes a sip of juice from his cup.

"The kind that could lead to war. A war between gods and mortals." Annabeth says in a haunting way.

Hulk raises an eyebrow at this. "Sounds bad."

"Eh. Barely anything happens out there, so we're mostly here for fun." Annabeth says as she pours herself a cup of juice and takes a small sip from it. Hulk smiles as he takes another sip from his cup before refilling it.


-Later-

As Hulk finishes his meal, he hears Bruce's voice in his head. "You have to tell them about us, Hulk. Otherwise they'll never trust us, and you'll be treated as an outcast for as long as you're here." Bruce speaks inside of Hulk's mind. Seeing no other option, Hulk sighs as he heads over to the other Half-Bloods to explain what he is, and where he came from, even transforming back into Bruce Banner to explain it better.

"So...you're from an alternate dimension?" One of the kids asks.

"Yeah. I...somehow ended up here, and I don't know how to get home." Bruce says. Annabeth simply looks on. She was surprised that Hulk was somebody else.

"Uh...Annabeth tells me that the Greek gods are a real thing." Bruce says calmly.

"That doesn't seem to bother you." A female camper says, confused by how mellow Bruce is on the subject.

Bruce shakes his head. "No. Because from where I'm from, there are Greek gods wandering around too. We even have a God of Thunder...Thor. Plus, our Greek gods could destroy my world at any moment. Hopefully your gods have more self restraint than ours."


-Mount Olympus-

Zeus, King of the Gods overhears Bruce's admission as he sits upon a large throne. "So...we have a strange mortal from another world that claims to have gods like us on his...dimension."

"What do you wish me to do, brother?" Poseidon, Zeus' brother, asks as he sits in his own throne as well.

"For now...nothing. We shall see how this...beast fares with those children." Zeus says, contemplating his next move.


-Camp Half-Blood-

Hulk wanders around the campground, unaware of Aphrodite continually standing just outside of the barrier, gazing at him with a smile. "Such a fascinating guy..." She says to herself before easily walking through said barrier. As Hulk heads for his cabin, Aphrodite teleports over to him.

"You." Hulk says, remembering Aphrodite through Bruce's memory of meeting her at the diner.

"Do you know me?" Aphrodite asks, to which Hulk nods with a grunt. "Good. I saw what you did to that Colchis Bull. I've never seen such...power, such ferocity..." She says seductively. She was clearly aroused by Hulk's unrivaled strength. "I...am Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty and Love."

"I-I am...Hulk..." He says as if he was in a trance, completely enamored by Aphrodite's extraordinary beauty.

She giggles. "A thousand pleasures to meet you...Hulk." As she says this, a smile appears on Hulk's face.

"Same here..." Hulk says in reply.


-Author's Note-

Sorry about the extremely late update.

I figured Aphrodite would be able to pass through the barrier without any issue.
