Chapter 11: Checking –In
Late at night in the X-mansion, everyone was fast asleep, especially Gohan. The x-men were dreaming good dreams, Logan on the other hand was having another nightmare about weapon-X.
Wolverine is in a dark lab suspended in a tank of green fluid. He pops his claws and slices his way out of the tank and escapes into the woods, and killing a dozen men in the process. Everything is foggy and disconnected to him, like he has been drugged. He looked at himself through the reflection of the stream of water, and noticed what was happen to him. The shock just made him scream, AHHAHAHAHA and jolts out of bed realizing it had been another nightmare, in which woke the entire mansion up.
Rogue! Rogue! Are you ok ? Kitty asked as she rushed over to her bed.
I'm ok, I just had a really bad dream that's all, said Rogue.
I would say kid, you just woke everyone up about from a mile from here, said Logan as everyone was entering the room.
Rogue, how long have you been having these dreams? Asked the Professor
Well this is the first time for this one; I had others that last for no more a week. And when they stop I really don't remember them anymore. Said Rogue
I see, this must be from using your powers, when you absorb some-ones powers you take a copy of their memories, that must be causing your dreams. Tell me Rogue what was this one about? Asked the Professor.
It was blurry and I think I was Logan in it, and in was in some type of lab. Said Rogue
I think it would be best for if you, me and Logan here go downstairs and talk about you have saw. The rest you should get some sleep. Said the Professor as he, Rogue, and Logan left the room, so did the most of them except Gohan and Kitty.
So are you going back to bed, or knowing you probably going to train, then again I think a better thing we can do? Said Kitty as she grab his hands looking in his eyes, and leaning towards him for a kiss.
"Bamf" hey I know you two are dating now, but can you two please don't do it next to my room when I'm in there please, Said Kurt.
WE ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY THAT YOU PERVERT ! Yelled Kitty
Don't get mad at me, I'm just saying bamf. Said Kurt as he teleported out of the room.
What he mean by doing it ? Gohan asked
Well you know, Kitty replied with a smile and she brings Gohan closer and kissed him.
Gohan got surprised look on his face and said, you know I think I should go to bed now, I really don't what to get in trouble, goodnight.
You too kitty replied, and said to herself, wow Jean was right he doesn't have a clue what to do next.
Meanwhile in the den.
So kid tell me what you saw in your dream, so I can get some answers, and maybe some sleep, said Logan.
I sure will try, but I think it wouldn't help, because the dream is kinda blurry. Said Rogue
Kid grab my hand maybe it would help, said Logan.
No Logan, that would not be necessary, I know you are looking for answers but this is not the way. Rogue if you will let me enter your mind, I can see that dream you just had and comprehend it. If you allow me I can ensure you that dream would not come back again, said the Professor.
Alright Professor, please don't dig in too deep ok, said Rogue.
Don't worry I won't. I'm just going to look at the memories you had absorb that's cause these dreams, that's all, said the Professor.
Ok let's do it, said Rogue.
Professor enter her mind and saw the memories what was left she had absorb. After three minutes later the Professor said thank you Rogue that would be all.
What, you are done already professor? Asked Rogue
Yes I am, if you want I can remove those memories you had absorbed, but it's late we can do that tomorrow. Said the Professor
Thank you good night, said Rogue as she left the room.
Spill it Chuck, what did she saw cause I want to know who to kill. Said logan
The Professor explained what he saw and asked Logan, does the name Professor Thornton mean anything to you?
Logan just grunted.
Three Days Later at School
Hey Gohan; you know if you worked out and had some little training you might be able to join my dojo, because we are always looking for new punching bags Hahaha. Said a high school bully
Gohan replied: why I would I do that for, after all we all know that dojo of yours sells black belts for 20 bucks.
No they don't, I'm brown belt, and besides what do you know about ka-raa-tay anyways you nerd, said the Bully.
You mean Karate, meaning hand, if you were serious about it you would know. Look I would like to stay here teach you more about it, but I got to go to class, said Gohan.
Look at him Pietro, that spiky headed little punk just thinks he is better than anyone, I think we should teach him a lesson after school. Said Blob
Yeah right, I don't think he can even see me coming, said Pietro.
I doubt that speedy , I think spikey is faster than you, or maybe it just teleportation but I just know he can appear out of thin air, said Lance.
Well that changes things said Pietro, and was wondering if someone could be faster than him.
After school Gohan and Kitty were walking through the park to get home, after they visited the mall.
Kitty I still don't understand why we had to go to the mall in the first place, Gohan complained.
Hey I need to buy some clothes and you need some new ones as well. Kitty smirked.
What's wrong with my clothes, Gohan replied.
Well they are kinda out dated, and your training clothes are purple that don't go with our uniforms, and I don't think you look good in, and it took me forever for you to get a haircut, said Kitty as she smiled at Gohan.
Well if my purple gi is bugging you that bad, I could start wearing the same Gi as my dad's, said Gohan, and materialized in the same Gi his dad wears. (note : Gohan is looking like when he fought Bojack, )
Kitty looked at him smiled and said. Better I really don't like the boots, and still doesn't match with the rest of the team.
Ok I got one more if you don't like it, I will let you pick my team uniform, said Gohan. Then he materialized in the same Saiyan armor he wear in the time chamber, expect with color scheme that matches the x-men uniforms and X-men patches on both shoulders.
Kitty looked at him and said, and now that looks totally way better than that purple Gi of yours. What gave you the idea for this?
Well it Saiyan Armor, I don't like it that much, because what it represents, but this armor doesn't represents that, but the X-Men and where I came from, said Gohan.
That's so sweet Gohan, Kitty said and kiss him on the cheek. Gohan then materialized into an orange sleeveless shirt, into light blue faded jeans.
Later at the mansion after dinner
Hello students, I hope you are getting ready for your finals are coming up the next couple weeks, said the professor as he entered the Den.
Of course professor replied the team.
Good, Gohan can you come to my study, I think I might have some answer for you, said the Professor.
Tell me professor what did you find out, did you find a way to get me back home? Asked Gohan
I'm sorry Gohan for lying to you, but this important for Logan sake. As you know Logan has been gone a few days, and I'm worried about him, because the hulk sightings in the area he has been. I need you to go their alone check in on him, because I'm afraid he would engaged him. I'm sending you because you are only person and can handle the hulk, but don't fight him. The Hulk has undefinable amount of power, even on your standard I'm afraid. Please just check on him, and do not engage the hulk unless it is necessary, and don't tell anybody.
Got it professor, I leave as soon as I can, and I will tell the team I got a mission with avengers replied Gohan.
So what's new, did the professor find a way for you to go home my friend? Asked Kurt
Sorry guys no, replied Gohan. Kitty showed a sign of relief.
Don't worry if the professor found a way to get me home, I will find a way to get back here, said Gohan grab Kitty's hand. The truth is I just received an avenger's mission, they need backup, because Thor is back in Asgard, Hulk is off the map. Tony thought it would be a good idea if they had some extra backup, just in case if they need some extra muscle. Said Gohan as he went to his room to get ready to leave, and answering more questions about the Avengers mission.
Few minutes later in the X-hanger
Where are you going, I know it's not for the avengers, don't lie to me, because you do not have to lie, and I don't want you to lie to me, said Kitty.
How did you know? Said Gohan
Gohan, you talk about this in the same way you talk about your battle with Cell that's how I know. Said kitty
Look Kitty, I'm going to be ok, I'm just going to check on Logan, the Hulk was sighted in the area, and the professor is worried about him, I'm going to be back tomorrow morning. If I'm not back tell the avengers they will send back up. Said Gohan in serious voice and holder her hands to calming her down.
Gohan, you don't have to go, the avengers can go instead, I'm afraid, the Hulk could be too strong for you, said Kitty.
Gohan replied: Listen Kitty, I know I told you about this, but you never seen it before. Gohan stepped away and transform into a Super Saiyan.
This, is a Super Saiyan!
Kitty just stood there at looked at this golden aura from his body, and can tell he was stronger, but still unsure if was he was strong enough for the Hulk.
Gohan grabbed both of Kitty's hands, look deep in to her eyes, and said in real ensuring voice. Kitty, I know you are worried but don't be, in this form I'm fifty times stronger at my full power before transforming. And you never really see me at my full power. If I'm still not strong enough I can go to the next level, and that I'am least as twice more powerful as this one. Gohan kissed her and took off.
Gohan! Kitty yelled, Don't you die on me. Gohan look at her and said don't you worry I will be fine.
Professor Xavier merged from the shadows and said.
Kitty I know you care and worry about him, but he is the only one that could stop the Hulk.
Kitty replied while crying: Professor how can you send him, he could die out there, I love him, and now he is going to die.
Kitty, Kitty, Listen to me. Said the Professor
No, it's not right Professor, he is going to die, and there is nothing I can do about it, I wish you didn't send him, Said Kitty as she was running out of the hanger while crying to Gohan's room.
Halfway to Logan's location where Gohan had sensed him last.
Man I hope Logan is alright, because I starting to sense a real strong power level, but it drops down a moment later, and it really giving me a headache. I need to get there fast. Said Gohan as he going full speed.
Gohan arrives in the mountains in Colorado, and sees The Hulk staring down Wolverine, and said to himself.
Man that green guy is the Hulk, he sure is strong, maybe stronger then Cell.
Gohan delivers flying fist that knock down the Hulk, and said. Wolverine, get out of here I got the green guy.
What do you mean kid he will rip you apart! What's with the hair ,and clothes? Said Wolverine.
It's my transformation as a Super Saiyan and I'm wearing my Saiyan armor, said Gohan.
Well I like the look kid, Said Wolverine.
Hulk up and Said Hulk Smash little Goldman ! and raised his fist for a ground smash
Gohan deflected it and punched him , kicked him and nothing. The hulk punched him and sent him 12 feet back. Wolverine jumped on the Hulk and dug his claws on the hulk's neck start to stab him.
Gohan got up and transformed to SSJ2, and said. Aright lets end this now! Gohan delivered a rushing elbow to the hulk, and sent him to go back, and grab Wolverine's arm and threw him out of the way. Hulk hit Gohan in his left arm, and broke it. Gohan counter with kick to the hulks skull, that left Hulk shaking, Gohan give the green beast a jumping right uppercut flew him up 20 feet, and dropped him 30 feet away.
Gohan walk over to Wolverine to help him up, and Wolverine said. Kid if you throw me like that again you won't have an arm! Thanks he grunted.
They hear a roar in the distance. Just then the Hulk jumps over a cliff and lands in front of them. Wolverine said to Gohan. Well kid I hope you are ready for round two.
Stand back ! Gohan raised his hand across his head, and said and delivered MANSEN…..KO to the hulk. The hulk was getting pushed back to the mountain from the attack. The Hulk was
Getting angry. HULK IS THE STRONGEST ONE THERE IS, GOLDEN MAN! Hulk started to push Gohan attack with both of his hand in front him, and started move slowly to Gohan.
Come-on kid I know you are holding back, let it go you are not going to kill him, yelled wolverine.
SUPER MANSEN….KO ! yelled Gohan. The beam of energy increased pushed the hulk against the mountain, caused a landside to fall on him.
Gohan just took deep breaths, and noticed the Hulk was breaking free, and said. What is his deal he just keeps coming, and coming, even Cell couldn't even survive from that.
Kid the Hulk heals faster than me, you got to let it go, I know you got more than that, don't you worry you will not kill him. Said Wolverine
Ok, but you have it get us a ride back, and back me up if it doesn't work. Said Gohan in heavy voice as he was tiring out.
A moment later the hulk broke free, and yelled HULK IS GOING TO BREAK LITTLE GOLD MAN IN HALF.
Gohan powered up, and took a step back placed his good arm on his side, and said Kamehame…ha. The wave hit the hulk. Hulk was able to move to him closer but slowly. Wolverine yelled kid let it out! Gohan yelled FULL POWER! The beam of energy put the hulk down, but got up and tried to clap it away. Gohan said to himself I guess I have to do it, I just hope my body can handle it. Gohan yelled Super Kaioken times 5! Gohan aura increase and chance fiery golden rose, the beam increase is size and push the Hulk. Gohan redirected the beam with hulk and pushed him upwards and send him flying to the horizon.
Gohan powered down, and told wolverine, I think he is gone now, and collapsed to the ground with hair turn back to normal.
Wolverine walked over to him, said good job kid.
Three days later at the sick bay at the X-men.
Gohan wakes up the with Kitty lying next to him with her arm wrapped around him sleep, and Logan stand over him, and tony stark was standing in the doorway.
You saved a lot of people back there kid, if wasn't for you Hulk would have breached that core of that nuclear power plant that was 20 miles way. Said Logan
Uh? Replied Gohan
What you didn't know, than why where you there then? Asked Logan.
The professor sent me to find you, because of the hulk sightings in the area. Said Gohan, as kitty was awaking up.
Either way kid, thanks, if anyone and take the hulk out like that is alright in my book, and is for you. Said Tony and hand Gohan a box.
What is it? Asked Gohan
It's Avengers ID card, and your official member now with the reserves like Logan here, so get some sleep, Said Tony.
Hey you are alive, said kitty and kissed him.
So how long you been here? Asked Gohan
Three days. Replied kitty
She did not leave your side Gohan. Said the professor, I'm sorry sending you there, I should have known better.
Its ok, Chuck, if wasn't for him The Hulk would have finished me in five minutes, said Logan.
Yeah not even the Avenger's with Thor could have stopped him, especially when he was that mad. Heck, you kid basically beat the Hulk one handed, after all he did broke your arm. Said Tony
Gohan replied; So what made him so mad for in the first place, because I sensed he was angry, and he wasn't his fault. This sounds crazy but I sensed there wear two people inside that thing fighting, and more he got angrier the stronger he got. The thing is as he got stronger I could sense he had unlimited pool of energy to draw from.
Tony said; Well Gohan; the Hulk's real name is Dr. Bruce Banner. He was exposed to extremely high levels of gamma radiation that gave birth to the Hulk. When Banner gets mad he turns into him.
Logan said: Yeah a few days ago Banner fell off the grid, and I was called in to locate him. I found him at an AIM base drugged, and they just made him mad by showing videos of little kids dying in bad ways. After two days of that, drugged or not, the other guy was coming out. Their plan was to have him to cause a meltdown of that power plant, so it allows AIM to attack a military base. Luckily for us I was there to hold him off, while the most of avengers took care of the plant, and rest took care of AIM. Heck kid you save me when you showed up.
Gentlemen, I think are young hero needs some rest. Said the Professor, leading both of them out of the room.
Gohan look at Kitty and said, I'm sorry for coming back injured.
Kitty replied; Yeah I'm glad you came back alive, Hero
Gohan kissed Kitty, and said when I was fighting the Hulk only thing I could think about was coming home to you. Kitty I love you, and I don't want to be the person to die who dies on the battle field, but the person who comes back.
Love you too Gohan, just don't scare me like that again, next time just tell me you are going to fight the Hulk. I can handle it Gohan, I just want to know. Said Kitty
Gohan replied: Kitty I promise I won't lie to you, and I will tell you next time, and kissed her hold her until both fell asleep.
Later in the Professor Study
So Chuck, I know you didn't send him to check in on me, did you sent him to stop the Hulk. Asked Logan
Yes I did Logan, the state of the hulk was far too strong for anyone could have handled, but I knew he was the only one could have stop him. Besides he needed the challenge Logan, Said the professor.
Did you know he was holding back on him, next time tell him or he might not come back. Said Logan
No I didn't, how did you know, Said the Professor.
Because he wasn't trying to kill him, if he was the Hulk wouldn't have chance with him, and that's how I know, said Logan.
Apparently Gohan has more control of his powers, and himself then I expected, Said Professor.
