Chapter 10: Tables Turned
Location unknown…
The Intelligencia had indeed captured the Hulk. The green giant of a man was imprisoned in a specially designed frozen chamber. This chamber should have been able to hold him, despite his massive strength. However, a mysterious thing happened. The power momentarily flickered on that particular chamber. Though it would only be a flicker, it would make all the difference.
Through a small window on the chamber, for observation purposes, the massive green strongman was seemingly in a sleep-like state. But, after the power outage, the Hulk's eyes snapped open. A mysterious female figure peered around the corner and made a phone call,
"It is done."
Meanwhile…
Tiger Shark ran up to Captain America,
"Hide me! Quickly, protect me! You're the good guys, right? You don't eat people, right? HELP ME!"
Tigra was catching up to him, with the unusually large knife and fork, shouting,
"Fish! Fish! Fish!"
Tiger Shark yelped and hid behind the shield-using Avenger,
"Ahh! She's rabid!"
He looked at Captain America,
"She has had her shots, right?"
The former soldier looked at the were-tigress teen,
"Tigra, stop it."
Tigra whined,
"But, it's a giant fish! I have to eat him! I'm hungry!"
The shark villain swallowed as he noticed the teen feline Avenger was ready to jump, sharpening her utensils in an intimidating fashion. Captain America said sternly,
"Tigra, we don't eat our enemies."
Tiger Shark added,
"Yeah, you're the one that took a bite out of me! Who does that?"
Tigra stomped her feet,
"But, you're a fish! I'm a cat! It has to be that way!"
The shield-using hero said,
"You can't eat him."
Tiger Shark breathed a sigh of relief,
"Thank you, Captain."
The soldier added,
"Besides, you need Persiana's help in eating him and prepping him."
Tiger Shark groaned,
"You sell out."
He was then promptly hit in the head with the shield. Tigra blinked,
"That wasn't very sporting of you."
"AAAAHHHHH!"
The two Avengers turned and saw Mordo flying before landing unceremoniously on the ground on his head. Kid Razor dusted his hands and tilted his shades,
"No one is cool enough to touch the Kid of Rock's guitar. Only Kid Razor can touch the guitar."
Captain America nodded,
"That's two."
Terrax's axe was embedded into the ground, while the earth-manipulating herald of Galactus was slammed by War Machine and Iron Man with energy attacks. Pulsar went above him and fired a beam of strong light, creating a large crater, and Terrax at the center of that crater. Tigra smirked,
"That's three."
Red Hulk was body slammed on top of Tiger Shark by Thor and Hercules. The two teen gods had finally gotten the upper hand, though their arms and hands had showed signs of the same burn marks that Crisis had. The Red Hulk had stars circling around his head. Thor dusted his hands,
"Hah! The foul red beast has been defeated! I have avenged Crisis' death!"
Hercules glared,
"Nah, Thor! It was I, the god of strength! I have avenged Crisis' death!"
The two gods then got into an argument before Carol stomped her foot down,
"Enough! Crisis isn't dead, and, besides; I hit him in the jaw. The two of you were losing."
The teen god of courage blinked,
"She does have a point."
The hammer user nodded,
"Aye, that she does."
He then added,
"Still, it was me that delivered the final blow!"
Hercules glared,
"No, it was me!"
The two teen gods continued their argument. Iron Man groaned,
"I just hope this is the end of it."
"I wouldn't be quick to presume that, Iron Man."
The Avengers all turned and got ready for another fight…
Meanwhile…
Persiana, Black Widow, Crystal, and a reluctant Falcon, Redwing, Hawkeye, and Moon Knight, were running down the corridor of the SHIELD heli-carrier. The whole place shook with the cat-fight between She-Hulk and Red She-Hulk, of which Hawkeye was still complaining,
"What the hell? There's a glorious cat-fight, and we're missing out on it!"
The former gang member nodded,
"Yeah! What gives?"
Natasha asked,
"Aren't the cat-fights between Carol and Farrah enough for you two?"
Hawkeye said,
"Yeah, but that happens all the time. This is an once-in-a-lifetime event."
Redwing cooed an agreement. The red-headed super-spy rolled her eyes, muttering something in Russian. Crystal shook her head,
"I'll never have to worry about this. My Pietro would never stop to look at a cat-fight."
Persiana commented,
"You'd be too busy hog-tying him to the bed for that."
The blonde Inhuman princess asked,
"Why would I want to do that?"
The white-haired cat-girl shook her head,
"How so very naïve of you."
Just then, she sniffed the air and snarled,
"She's here."
The others stop and Moon Knight asked,
"The Red She-Hulk?"
Persiana hissed,
"Satana."
Just then, Doctor Strange exited the room and the Sorcerer Supreme asked,
"I know you can sense your rival is here-."
Persiana growled,
"You're damn right I can! What the hell is she doing here, going after my man?!"
Falcon raised his hand,
"OK, Farrah; you really need to get that territorial nature of yours under control."
Dr. Strange said,
"I know this upsets you, but Satana has been bound to me to be a student of mine. She is in the process of learning white magic-."
Satana's voice called out,
"It sucks, you know!"
Farrah blinked,
"White magic? That definitely does not sound like her."
The sorceress said,
"You're right, hairball! It's not, but I'm doing this for Leon, so I'm willing to put up with what old man Strange has me doing. So…SHUT UP AND LET ME CONCENTRATE!"
Hawkeye shifted his eyes quickly,
"Well, looks like the situation is under control. Sam and I are going back and seeing if Jen needs our help."
The purple clad archer and the former gang member were about to run, when Natasha pulled on both their ears and said flatly,
"You're staying."
Crystal shook her head,
"Unless the fight comes here."
Suddenly, Jen came crashing through a wall, battered. Red She-Hulk towered over her and smirked evilly,
"So, the gang's all here."
Though the Red She-Hulk had numerous cuts and bruises on her body, she was healing at a remarkable rate. Persiana hissed and got ready to pounce, but Red She-Hulk's body permeated that hot-blooded chemical, making any sort of melee confrontation more difficult. Her body was getting so hot; the metal on the floor and walls was starting to soften. Dr. Strange waved his hands and chanted a spell. In seconds, a force field was erected around Red She-Hulk. The red-skinned teen strongwoman smirked,
"Really? This the best you got?"
Hawkeye went to help his friend,
"Jen, are you all right?"
The green skinned teen could barely speak, but she said,
"Strong…Stronger…than…me."
Satana called out,
"Doc, I need some help over here."
Doctor Strange said,
"I cannot help you and maintain the force field!"
Red She-Hulk said smugly,
"Well, how about that? You can't help and keep me in this cage. Either way, Crisis dies, and I get what I want."
