Chapter 7: The Offenders Strike!

Leonard Samson, a psychiatrist, was sitting in a room, observing the Offenders as they were preparing for a mission. A member of the enigmatic Intelligencia, he was behind these new super villains. He took a recorder and spoke into it,

"Note; Tiger Shark has an understandable, though over-reactive, phobia of felines. Will have to start therapy on this as soon as possible."

He clicked the recorder off and pressed an intercom button,

"MODOK, is she ready?"

A voice on the other end of the intercom stated,

"Mere moments, Dr. Samson."

Samson nodded and said,

"As soon as she is ready, send her while the Offenders are attacking. She has a special mission she must go on."

At this, he closed communication and then held a glowing green vial in his hand. Samson said to himself,

"The power of the Hulk, distilled down to this little bottle. Such a paradox."

Meanwhile…

Captain America and the Avengers from both teams were now regrouping at the West Coast Compound. Tigra had to practically pry Persiana from watching her boyfriend in surgery. Leon had just gotten out of the Operating Room, but he was still unconscious. The white-haired feline glared murderously at Spider-woman, who was at the meeting as well. Jessica said,
"Well, if the Intelligencia did create the Robot Hulk, where did they get the cosmic energy needed to power him up?"

Iron Man shook his head,
"I don't know, but Carol is feeling better."

The blonde grinned,

"Better than that. I can do this."

She charged up her fist, concentrating. In moments, her arms and legs, as well as her hair, became fiery. She shot everyone a winning smile,

"What do you think?"

Farrah rolled her eyes,
"Too bad you can't set yourself on fire for real."

Carol powered down and glared at her arch-nemesis,

"I'm surprised you aren't all over the heli-carrier, raising hell on when Leon is going to wake up."

Captain America said,

"Truthfully, it would not change anything for his condition. We need to figure out if there is anything more on what Spider-woman and Crisis found that would lead us to a red Hulk, and, hopefully, find where the other Hulk is."

Fury thought for a minute before he said,
"I have a bad feeling."

War Machine asked,

"What do you mean?"
The one-eyed head of SHIELD explained,

"I have a feeling that this Red Hulk might come after Crisis again. I think maybe some Avengers should stay up at the carrier until he wakes up."

Persiana instantly stood up,

"I'm going."

Miss Marvel got up as well,

"I'm going too!"

Spider-Woman called from the ceiling,

"Me too!"

The three women looked at each other and glared at each other. Farrah came close to hissing before Pulsar said,
"Enough, you three. If we sent you all up there, the heli-carrier would crash."

Falcon quipped,

"And that wouldn't do Leon any good."

Everyone looked at the former gang member and Sam noticed the looks he was getting. He said,

"I'll shut up now."

Monica rolled her eyes and said,

"Persiana can go. But, she should take She-Hulk with her."

Crystal piped up,

"I'll come too."

Hawkeye smirked,

"Well, if the ladies are going-."

Natasha forced him down,

"You're staying with me."

She had a hungry look in her eyes as she said that. The purple-clad archer winced,

"Help me."

Miss Marvel shook her head, protesting,

"Why should the hairball go?"

Spider-woman nodded in agreement,
"Yeah, why her?"

Farrah snapped,

"He's my boyfriend!"

War Machine looked at Natasha,

"You know something, Nat; you, Hawkeye, and Falcon can go up and join them, just to make sure Leon's extra protected."

The Russian red-head beamed widely,

"Yeah!"

Suddenly, the ground shook. Kid Razor used his super-sensitive hearing and said,

"Something's coming."

The wall collapsed and the Red Hulk grinned evilly,

"Hello, Avengers."

Terrax, Tiger Shark, and Baron Mordo were all standing in attendance. The Red Hulk continued,
"Meet the Offenders!"
