Chapter 4: Darts That Smarts
Fil's new Green Fury suit didn't look too different from his jumpsuit. The design was the same with the suit being fully green with some zig-zag black lines going down the sides of the suit, his utility belt attached firmly to his waist and black boots. The only thing that was different was that the helmet he was wearing had a "GF" inscribed on it. The Helmet didn't totally cover his face and had an opening where his mouth and nose are located. The hands were black to match the gloves he wears in his normal costume. Fil, Tony, Wasp, and Thor zoomed faster towards the Hulk but it seemed that the amount of destruction was decreasing as they got closer. This could only mean two things. Either the Hulk has turned back to Bruce Banner or the Hulk has moved onto a new part of the city.
"I think we should split up! Were about to hit the bay and I don't think the Hulk is fancying a dip right now! Tony says.
The 4 zip off in different directions with Fil making a sharp right to queens. By the looks of it, the Hulk did come through here but there are remnants of explosives being used. There was also a clear indication that whatever Hulk is chasing it seems to be a Motorcycle.
"Oh man! I hope whoever the Hulk is chasing isn't the person I'm thinking of!" Fil says in concern as he continues to follow the path.
Farther down the visible path of destruction Gwen's motorbike is running low on fuel!
"Oh for Odin's sake! Why now of all times for the authors to have my bike run out of gas! Oh wait... to add tension to this scene. I just hope this isn't my last appearance in the comics or else I'm going to have a long talk with Hela!" Gwenpool says while dodging debris from the Hulk.
Fil catches up to the chaos and shoots some bullets from his wrists. The Hulk skidds a bit on the ground before turning around to face Fil. Gwenpool notices that there's a disturbing lack of debris being hurled at her. She makes a slight turn on her Motorbike and comes to a complete stop.
"*looks up* *notices the iron dog-like figure in the sky* Oh cool a new hero! Wait? *squints* is that a new Iron man? Oh no not again! HEY! YOU WITH THE GREEN ARMOR! GO BACK TO THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR! THE LAST TIME MARVEL TRIED TO DO ANOTHER IRON MAN IT FAILED HORRIBLY! " Gwen shouts at Fil.
Fil just ignores Gwen for now and focuses on Hulk. He hovers down a bit but just enough so he can talk to Hulk without getting too close to him, Loki knows that feeling all too well.
"Hulk just try to calm down man! I'm not here to hurt you. I just want to talk"
"WHY GREEN IRON MAN SHOOT AT HULK IF GREEN IRON MAN WANTS TO TALK TO HULK!?" Hulk says while lunging at Fil.
Fil nearly dodges the Hulk and the Hulk land ontop of a nearby car. The Hulk turns around and snarls at Fil.
"Just listen to me Hulk! Whatever Gwen did to you I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding." Fil says.
"PINK GIRL HURT HULK! *turns around* SHE GIVE HUlK BALD SPOT! *points at the spot Gwenpool pulled his hair out* *turns around to face Fil*"
"Ooooo. Yeesh. I can understand that having your hair pulled out isn't a picnic but it will grow back. You're the Hulk after all! You know your saying right? *tries to do a Hulk impression* Hulk is strongest there is! *finishes impression*
Hulk calms down a little bit to ponder. He's still snarling a bit and breathing heavily but doesn't seem to be getting angrier.
"Hulk is strongest there is. Hulk grow back hair. *nods to himself* Hulk go attend to garden to see how flowers doing." Hulks states before jumping off into the distance.
Fil lowers the thrust in the feet boosters on his suit to confront Gwen. He walks with an angry cartoon walk to look intimidating but all it's doing is making Gwen giggle. She's trying her best to hold in the laughter as Fil makes his way to her.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! PULLING OUT THE HULKS HAIR?! ARE YOU MAD WOMAN?!" Fil shouts at Gwen as his helmet comes off his head and spins a bit before landing on his head again.
"*giggling* You're funny when you're angry. It's like watching a Donald Duck cartoon! Your helmet even did the whole spinning in the air bit and landing on your head routine. Oh, wait! Hold on. Your helmet is a bit crooked. *readjusts Fil's helmet" There! Now it's a-okay! *Gives thumbs up* sparkle, sparkle!" Gwen says in a bubbly tone.
"Did you seriously just say an onomatopoeia like you were in a comic?"
"Yeah, I mean we are in a comic right now! Don't you see the panel border? *points up*"
" *looks up* *doesn't see anything but clear sky* No *looks back down at Gwen* I don't. Look I'm sure your a nice girl and all but I got to make money too. So how about we come to a truths? If we happen to find each other doing the same job we just play a game of rock ,paper, scissors to decide who gets to do the job. Deal? *extends out right arm to Gwenpool*"
"I appreciate the deal but I'll have to decline. *looks away and stiffs up nose into the air*"
"What? Why?"
" You think I was going to simply let go of that finders keepers bs? I found them first so initially I should of been the keeper! You just swooped in probably because your comic started exactly at the point I got on the freeway! So neh! *sticks tongue out at Fil* Also *hulk crashes in the back of Gwen* the hulk is back."
"How? I thought we had a understanding Hulk!?" Fil shouts at Hulk in a disappointed tone.
"Hulk doesn't forgive *picks up Gwen's bike with his thumb and index finger* *Gwen jumps off* Hulk...*crushes bike in his hand* SMASH!"
"Did you seriously think you could talk sense in the Hulk? *Rolls eyes inside of mask* You silly bum.*pinches parts of Fil's face that isn't covered by the helmet* You should of just used your knock out juice in your pack."
" Oh yeah! *grabs dart from his pouch and a tube*"
Fil places the dart into the tube and proceeds to blow the dart at Hulk. The dart gets stuck in the Hulk's chest and it manages to slow down the Hulk a bit but not enough to stop him from charging at the two. Fil wraps his arm around Gwen's waist and takes off to get away from the Hulk!
"Stark! Come in Stark!" Fil shouts.
"*Over Fil's helmet*Did you find the Hulk?" Stark asks Fil.
"Yeah, and I tried to sedate him but it seems whatever was in that dart hasn't taken effect yet!"
"Of course it hasn't taken effect! It's the Hulk for pete's sake! If the syrium Pym made was made correctly it should take effect in about ten minutes."
"Ten minutes?! The Hulk will probably catch me by then!" Fil says in a flustered manner.
"That's hero business kid! Sometimes you have to face life-threatening odds! Just try to keep the Hulk distracted while we come to you! Stark out!"
"Ooooo! This is going to be fun!" Gwen shouts ecstatically.
"How is any of this going to be fun? The Hulk is still pissed and we might end up *doges a car door thrown by the Hulk* being pavement pancakes!"
" Just relax doggo! The authors won't allow you to die. Chances are this is your first appearance so the Avengers should swwwooop in any moment now!"
Fil doubted that the Avengers would get her that fast considering that most of them might be 30 minutes away from his location. However, right as Fil was about to retort Gwen's comment Fil noticed a red stream of energy going past him. He turns around to see that the read energy is constraining the Hulk from moving! Fil looked around and saw that Scarlet Witch and Iron Man come levitating down from above him.
"See? What did I tell ya?" Gwen says while giving Fil a smug look.
Fil just rolls his eyes and chalks this up to Iron Man and Scarlet Witch being near his location when he made the call.
"So now what?" Fil asks Stark.
"Now? Oh that's easy. We just wait for the syrium to kick in while keeping an eye on Hulk. The Hulk might seem to be invincible but I would argue that even brute strength can't beat magic or something like magic." Iron Man states.
The Hulk tried his best to get out of Scarlet Witch's hold but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't break it! The rest of the Avengers came to make sure the Hulk didn't go berserk again.
"So what's with the girl green bean? Is she your girlfriend?" Tony asked Fil.
"No! She's anything but my girlfriend!"
"Really now? Then how come your holding onto her waist so tightly?" Tony remarks.
Fil notices and quickly retracts his arm away from her. Tony chuckles at Fil's goofy, exaggerated, reaction to this realization and pats Fil's left shoulder.
"Hey there's no need to feel embarrassed. Although, I'm not so sure how most people would feel about an interspecies relationship?" Tony says in a mocking tone.
"I would have to agree with you Stark. That would be weird. I appreciate the save doggy but I must be off! *runs off into the distance* Farewell to thee Avengers!" Gwen shouts while running.
As Gwen is running down the destroyed street she sees an abandoned bicycle on the side of the road. Without hesitation she gets on the bike and rides off to give these hair bits to whoever wants them. About an hour later she arrives at the drop off location, behind a Roostie's Cheeszies. Gwen parks her bike in the back and waits for someone to come out of the shadows. The sound of a tin can being kicked indicates to Gwen that someone is approaching. Gwen looks down a nearby ally way and sees a man covered in a brown cloth. The figure speaks but she notices that the voice sounds like it's bouncing off of metal, kind of like if you were speaking into a metal can.
"Do you have the Hulks hair?" The mysterious figure asks.
" Yup!*takes out a plastic bag from her side pouch and hands it to the cloaked figure* I'm guessing you're a creepo fan of the Hulk I'm guessing? Not my type personally but where I come from collecting people's hair is usually a sign of appreciation... or your just a weirdo." Gwen says as she's about to take off.
"I assure you that I have a VERY pacific reason why I needed the Hulks hair." The figure says as she seeps back into the darkness.
"Hmm. Oh well! *Shrugs* If that was a villain in disguise I'm sure some team like the X-Men, the Avengers, or even the Defenders will probably solve it. " Gwen says as she speeds off in her bicycle.
The day draws to a close as the sun sets over the city but a new day is beginning for a certain Latverian ruler, Doctor Doom! Doom is pacing back and forth in his throne room and waiting to hear confirmation that the Doom Bot managed to complete the transaction. The Doom Bot appears in front of Doom in a flash of light with the plastic bag in hand. Doom grabs the bag from the Doom Bot and walks further into his castle.
"Ah...excellent! The Hulks DNA! Soon! I! DOOM! Will have COMPLETE control over the world...no...THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE! In do time everyone will come to fear the name...DOOM! *thunder cracks in the distance* "
