"Honestly, you haven't had time for me in weeks! I'm really happy we can finally hang out." Lucy admits. I nod and sip on my coffee. Lucy Walters. Her older sister is Jennifer Walters. That's right, She-Hulk's little sister. Except, unlike her sister or cousin, Bruce Banner AKA Hulk AKA my godfather AKA best guy ever, she isn't all hulky. She has brown hair that's always held back in a ponytail and brown eyes that has flecks of green. Right now she's wearing a green sweat vest with a purple blouse underneath and a green tie, a black skirt, purple socks, black Mary Jane heels and black glasses.

"Sorry. Being a hero isn't sunshine and rainbows, you know?" I ask.

"I don't know but my sister does. And she always takes the time to tell me when she calls." She says and sips her ice tea.

"How've you been?" I ask. The thing about Lucy, she's really smart and a bit of a player by the rules. Like Jen except she's ten times smarter than Jen with a photographic memory and an IQ score of 167. That's high than Steven Hawking! Sure, only 7 IQ points higher... But still!

"Good. I was able to teach a some new SHIELD agents how to use their tech for 123 dollars from Fury." She says.

"Cool. I was able to fight a goblin last week." I say grinning. She chuckles.

"Same old Natalie. Always going for a fight," She jokes.

"Same Lucy. Always trying be the smarter person." I reply and we both smile. My spidey sense freak "GET DOWN!" I push her to the ground as something comes crashing onto the café patio. We sit up.

"Hello ladies." Thundra greets.

"Ugh a friend of yours?" Lucy asks.

"Complete opposite." I reply.

"Looks like we hit the jackpot. Smartest teen girl in the world and richest teen girl in the world." Wizard says.

"Pretty stupid plan huh? Getting the richest and smartest teen girls together?" I ask, smirking.

"And why's that?" Trapster asks.

"I have the gadgets and she has the brains to use them." I say.

"Klaw." Wizard replies. He holds out his claw but Lucy gets out a piece of Stark Tech I let her borrow. But right when she's about to use it, She-Hulk, Hulk, Red Hulk, A-Bomb, and Skaar knock them down. In one blow.

"You're welcome." She-Hulk says as Lucy glares.

"We had it under control!" Lucy replies.

"Oh really? Almost getting your ears blasted is under control?" A-Bomb chuckles. He stops when Lucy comes face to face with him

"I will end you Jones. Don't forget I had the tool to pick your tiny brain and stick it in a glass jar." She growls.

"Uh... Heh heh, right." He chuckles awkwardly.

"Aw, my coffee." I whine and the owner comes out. They tap their foot on the ground "Yeah, I'll pay for the damage."


"Stupid Jen. Stupid cousin Bruce. Stupid Hulks!" Lucy grumbles. I roll my eyes as she throws her fit. She throws these a lot actually. "I've always been in their shadows! Oh, Lucy, you should be more like Jen! You should be more like Bruce! Jen never did that when she was a teen! I bet Bruce never did that! Ugh, it's so annoying!"

"Uh huh." I agree, flipping through the TV channels.

"You're not listening, are you?" She asks.

"Honest or lie?" I ask.

"Honest." She replies.

"No." I answer and she sighs before sitting, hands folded on her lap.

"I just wish I could prove to my parents that I was just as good as Jen or Bruce." She admits. My phone rings before I answer

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hiya!"

"Gwen! Hey!" I greet and Lucy looks over.

"I hear you and Lucy got attacked today! Are you okay?!" She asks.

"Totally." I assure.

"Thank goodness. Just checking. Still on for dinner tonight?" She asks.

"Yeah, course." I agree.

"Cool. Tell Lucy I said hi." She says before hanging up. Gwen Stacy, head of student council, class president, and one of my best friends.

"Gwen says Hi." I tell her and she smiles.

"See, you don't care that my sister and cousin are superheroes! You and Gwen just see me! I mean, I'm one of the smartest girls in the world and my parents still don't appreciate me!" She sighs.

"Look, I know what it's like to be in someone's shadow. The best thing you can do is your best and just keep moving forward." I say, placing a hand on her shoulder. She smiles

"What did I ever do to deserve you?" She asks.

"I have no clue." I reply and we laugh. My phone rings again "Hello?"

"Hey, what exactly am I suppose to wear for dinner?" Peter asks and I smile but roll my eyes.

"A tie and sports coat with a nice shirt and pants, some dress shoes too. It's a really fancy resteraunt Peter." I admit.

"Okay, thanks. Uh, another question, you giving me a ride or Harry?" He asks.

"Um, Harry says he's picking up Gwen and MJ. I can pick you up." I offer.

"Cool. See you at 7." He says.

"Bye." I reply and hang up.

"You're boyfriend?" Lucy jokes.

"I hate you sometimes." I mutter.


"Be honest, how do I look?" Lucy asks. I look up and see her hair is up and she's wearing a green dress with black heels and her glasses.

"A little uptight. Here." I get up and pull her hair out of her ponytail, letting her brown hair fall and she gains a puzzled face. I pull off her glasses and reach into my jewelry box and pull out a pearl necklace and jewel headband. I put the necklace around her neck and then push her hair back with the headband. "There." I place her in front of the mirror. Her eyes widen. Right now my hair is trailing down my back as I'm wearing a red dress and a diamond necklace and a pearl necklace with gold heels and in this late afternoon light you can see my hidden freckles and the golden flecks in Lucy's eyes

"Thank you, Natalie. I look beautiful." She whispers

"You always do. I just made you ten times more beautiful." I joke and she smiles. "Come on, we have to pick up Peter." We get in the car and Happy starts driving

"So why are we having a special dinner?" She asks.

"None of us had hung out in a month. So we thought it be a good idea." I answer and she nods. Happy drives "Give me a sec." I get out and walk up to the Parker door. I knock and May answer

"Natalie! It's so good to see you! You look so pretty!" She says and hugs me, causing me to giggle "Oh, come in, come in, Peter's having trouble with his tie. Maybe you can help." I nod and walk up the stairs to his room. I knock

"Come in," I hear him say. I walk in and see him trying to do his tie

"Wow, May was not joking when she said you needed help." I joke. "Here," I walk up and he turns. I begin to do his tie and try to ignore his blue eyes starring down at me "And..." I finish "There you go..." I look up into his blue eyes and feel my face heat.

"Um, thanks." He whispers.

"No problem." I reply, eyes never leaving his. I cough when his face gets close "We should go."

"Yeah." He agrees. "Bye Aunt May!" He shouts as we walk out. We get in the car and takes seats as far as possible from each other

"I hate being the third wheel." Lucy whispers to herself.


"I have no clue what half this is." Gwen admits.

"That's fish. That's steak, and that's just a fancy way of saying an empty plate with basically only parsley." I say, pointing it out to her.

"Oh..." She replies.

"See, this is why we need rich friends." MJ tells me and Harry. I giggle while he chuckles.

"So, Harry, how've you been? You know, with that whole Goblin attack." I say.

"Fine I guess. Just glad you were okay." He admits, taking my hand. I blush when Peter angrily clears his hroat

"So, everyone know what they're getting?" The waiter asks. I slip my hands from Harry's.

"Spaghetti." I answer and everyone else answers. Spidey sense... I look up and see something outside I sneeze "Ooh, allergies. I'm gonna take a breather, be right back." I sure and place my napkin on the table and walk outside. I look around, something. A giant thing lands beside me and I shriek

"Ssh!" She covers my mouth with her hands. I notice they're big and red. I look up with panicked eyes to see an at least 6 foot tall red chick with yellow eyes and a worried expression "If I move my hands from your mouth, you promise not to sream?" I nod and she moves her hands. "My names Betty. You know Lucy?"

"Yes?" I answer.

"I'm being chased right now and I need her help." I hear crashes "It's too late! He's coming!" I turn and eyes widen when I see Dr. Doom in giant armor.

"Red She-Hulk! You may have gotten away but I need more of your gamma radiation!" He shouts. Everyone in the restaurant runs out and scream. "Aw, Miss Walters, the smartest teen girl in the world. You'd be very useful to my cause." Dr. Doom's giant armor reaches for her but she jumps out of the way.

"Lucy, call your sister and cousin!" I demand.

"No way! I do not need their help! I can do this on my own!" Lucy shouts. Ugh, she is so persistent!

"Pepper! Suit Marci 3!" I demand. Pepper is my own artificial intelligence, a girl version of Jarvis basically.

"Yes Miss Stark." She sends it and I jump into it.

"Natalie?" Harry asks.

"Get everyone away from her." I command, ignoring their confusing faces. They start to leave

"Pete, come on!" Gwen commands and drags him away. The Doom armor grabs red she-hulk and she struggles. This doom armor actually me of an even bigger hulk buster suit of dad's.

"Let go!" Red She-Hulk demands. I shoot at the doom armor but it doesn't affect it. Instead it grabs me and crushes the armor off. I scream

"A hulk Spiderwoman... Interesting." A case crashes into the ground and I can almost feel the gamma rays. Doom is about to throw me I but Lucy pushes me out of the way and crashes into the case. It closes and locks.

"No!" I scream, bashing on the crate. I growl as tears pour down my face. I turn to face Doom and use my arm blaser and use it at 100% capacity. I shoot it and it blasts through and he crashes to the ground. Red She-Hulk runs to the crate and struggles to try and rip it open. It won't budge

"I can't get it!" She grunts. She hears a jet sound and eyes widen "You can't tell anyone I was here. Please!" She begs. I see her eyes beg even more and slip something out of my arm blaster. A Siren ID card. I hand it to her "What's this?"

"In case you need help. Go, now." I command and she nods, mouthing thank you. She runs off. The jet lands and Hulk and She-Hulk run out and to the crate when they see Lucy

"Lucy!" She-Hulk screams and the whole team of Agent of Smash try to open it with no luck.

"Jen! Leave now!" Lucy commands, sweating.

"Not without you sis!" She replies.

"We're family Lucy, we're not leaving you." Hulk says.

"Yes you are! This gamma ray can hurt you!" Lucy shouts.

"But it can kill you Luce!" A-Bomb shouts.

"Natalie!" Lucy commands. I look at Hulk. Think about Bruce, he's my godfather and is something more of a dad than my real one.

"I'm sorry Bruce." I whisper. I pull out a sonic shock trigger and press the button, it sends them flying back and my armor boots come and let me fly up. Rays of green light get brighter and Lucy's screams get louder. I cover my eyes when the light gets it's brightest and her screams get it's loudest. It all suddenly stops. I land and turn to see the crate burst open. "Lucy?" I whisper. I hear a deep groan.

"What is the matter with your, ironess?!" Red asks.

"I did what she wanted! So back off!" I demand.

"Lucy?..." Nothing "Sis?" Nothing. She-Hulk starts to run over hut Hulk stops her

"Wait," He commands.

"Wait?! Bruce, that's my little sister! Who's also your cousin!" She-Hulk reminds him.

"Skaar smells little girl hulk sister." Skaar sniffs the air.

"Really?!" She-Hulk asks excited.

"Mh. But smells different." Skaar admits.

"I know you guys are mad at me but I need to check first. I have gamma proof armor." I say and press an button and it wraps around me. They look at me but step aside and I slide down the pit. "Lucy?" I ask and walk over to the crate

"See anything?" A-Bomb asks.

"Not yet." I answer. "I'm getting closer." I walk further in and hear another deep groan. Just like before, it's deep but feminine. A green hand slams onto the side of the crate "Oh god. Lucy? Luce, that you?" I ask.

"Natalie?" I hear her ask. I get closer and look in. Not good. In Lucy Walter's place is a green hulk. Well, girl hulk. She rubs her head and looks up, gold eyes with green flecks and golden hair and her green skin has a golden glow "W-What happened?"

"A better take a look." I answer and use my armor as a mirror

"Great. Now I'm just like my stupid sister, stupid cousin, and their stupid friends." She grumbles. She stand and is about 1 foot and a half taller.

"Come on." I command. We climb up the small ditch and she hulk intakes a breath

"Lucy!" She shouts and runs over, embracing her new hulk sister.

"W-Why are you hugging me?" Lucy asks, obviously shocked by the affection.

"Because I thought I lost you dumb-dumb! Don't you ever dare scare me like that again!" She-Hulk demands.

"Looks like we got another hulkie for the team!" A-Bomb says. She smiles

"You know She-Hulk is kinda taken." I joke. They look at me

"Hey, Natalie, sorry, for getting angry." Hulk apologizes.

"You, angry, Bruce? That was not you being angry big guy." I reply, smiling.

"I know! Hulkette!" A-Bomb suggests.

"Whatever floats your boat." Lucy answers sarcastically. I smile and walk up to her. We hug and I hand her a Siren card

"Just to call." I offer.

"Got it." She assures and hugs me one last time

"Luce! Coming?" She-Hulk asks as the team boards their jet. She turns and smiles

"Yeah." She answers before following them.


"Ugh, I really need a nap." I sigh and collapse on the couch. The doorbell for the tower rings. I sit up "What now?" I ask and stand. I pass the couch where Kamala and Doreen fell asleep and smile, placing a blanket on them before going to the door. I open it and my eyes widen when I see the Red She-Hulk.

"Hi." She greets quietly.

"Betty?" I ask and she bows her head.

"I need a place to lie low." She whispers. I take a deep breath

"Come on in," I offer ad she lifts her head, looking shocked "You're always welcomed." I assure, smiling and she slightly smiles before walking in "Come on, let me show you to a room."
