-Gotham Streets-

Hulk leans down to look at the puppy. As he inspects it, he notices two silver bracelets on the puppy's hind legs. It was Diana.

"So...she turned you into a puppy, huh?" Hulk asked the puppy, who whimpered in response. "Yeah. That's what I thought. Do you know anyone that can undo the spell?"

The puppy shook its head side to side before Hulk sat next to the puppy.

"Great. My friend gets turned into a puppy by a crazy witch, and I have no idea how to turn her back." Hulk mumbled. He picked the puppy up and held it against his chest before he began to walk down the street, coming across a magic shop. "Hmm. Maybe they have some answers."

Hulk walked into the building, noticing a beautiful woman with hair as black as a raven standing behind a counter. As he approached, she smiled.

"Oh. You're a big fellow. Anyway, welcome to Zatanna's Hex Emporium. I'm Zatanna. What do you need?"

"Um, can you reverse a transformation spell? Like if someone was turned into an animal?"

"Um, it really depends on how recently the spell was cast and who casted it." Zatanna said, shrugging her shoulders.

Hulk puts the puppy on the counter, surprising Zatanna.

"Oh. A puppy. Usually, they send snakes or owls, but puppies I can do."

"Can you turn her back?"

"Um, I believe I just said I could...handsome." Zatanna remarked flirtatiously. Zatanna waved her hands in random directions before chanting. "Oh spirits that surround me, please aid me in the restoration of this woman. Revert her to the human form she possessed." A bright light envelopes the puppy, a light so bright that Hulk is forced to cover his eyes. Soon, the light fades, but the puppy remains unaffected by the incantation.

"What's going on? I thought she'd be back to normal."

"Well, it looks like the person that did this is way more powerful and more skilled with magic than I am. Sorry, big guy."

"You did your best. Not your fault." Hulk said as a taunting yet feminine voice was suddenly heard by the two.

"Oh, big green man? Outside, please." The voice sounded familiar.

"Well, that's not creepy or unsettling at all." Zatanna remarked.

"Stay here." Hulk said as he walked out. Right outside of the shop stood Circe, who had her arms crossed over her chest.

"Did you really think it would be that simple?" Circe taunted.

"You turned my friend into a puppy! What'd you expect me to do, hand her over to an orphanage?"

"Not at all. But...you still have to obey me. How about this? You steal a few artifacts for me, and I'll turn your lovely friend back to her normal self."

"How can I be sure that you won't break your word?"

"Because I'm a goddess. Goddesses can't break their word. Plus, I still need Diana."

"Grrr...fine. What do you want?"

"There's the compliance I always get. There's a large jewel. I want it for my collection. It is currently being held in the jewelry section of a museum."

"Figures. I'll get your jewel."


-Later-

Gotham Museum

Hulk arrives at the museum, landing softly on the ground. He effortlessly tears the locked door off its hinges and walks through the massive building, eventually coming across a room filled with diamonds and other assortments of jewels sealed in glass cases. He noticed a large diamond in the center of the room.

"I'm guessing that's the jewel she was talking about." Hulk said as he smashed the glass surrounding the jewel and picked it up, setting off a loud alarm. "Well, I knew that would happen." He remarked before leaping through the ceiling, leaving a large hole.


-Gotham Streets-

Ally

Circe is standing against a wall, impatiently waiting for Hulk to return. She heard a loud thud, making her look to her left. Hulk was standing there, clutching a large diamond in his right hand.

"About time, slave." She said as she used magic to lift the diamond out of Hulk's hand. "Lovely."

"What next?" Hulk asked, clearly annoyed by Circe using him as a tool.

"I'll let you know when I need another use of your power."

"You better turn Diana back, or I'll smash you!" Hulk threatens before leaping away.


-Author's Note-

Sorry for the delay. Hulk has already committed theft for Circe in exchange for Diana to be turned back into her gorgeous self. What will Circe have Hulk do next?

Stay tuned!
