Chapter 21:
As I raced towards the bolier room, all kinds of thoughts raced through my mind.
Armed with the info Tony gave me about Bruce transforming when he got angry, I knew that I had to be careful.
Then again, so did Natasha Romanoff.
As soon as I got to a door, I used my X-ray vision to see if anyone was there.
Turns out someone was. Actually two people were in there.
I saw Natasha walk slowly towards who I suspected was Bruce.
Then I heard talking. My super hearing kicked in right here.
"Bruce? Can you hear me? It's Natasha. It's OK," she said. Then there was silence.
The next thing I saw was something that scared me.
I saw a huge green hand emerge. I gasped in horror as I saw it come out from behind two large steel containers.
My breathing got faster as I watched Natasha get close to the green hand. Watching her trace her fingers across the open palm freaked me out because I had no idea what was going to happen next.
"Please be careful, Natasha," I whispered as I watched everything unfold from behind the closed door.
Then I heard her speak again.
"I'm here, Bruce. I'm here," she said in a loving tone of voice as she continued to gently touch his hand. I could hear the gentle groans & a voice say, "Natasha" from where I was standing.
Bruce was starting to calm down. I could tell from hearing his breathing slow down & his heartbeat slow down to a normal human pulse.
But everything changed because that ultrasonic sound from earlier came back. I could hear it, & it was just as annoying as before.
Unfortunately for Bruce, he could hear it too, & the next thing I heard was a scream & the sound of Natasha falling down a flight of stairs.
That's when I realized that I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to help.
I quickly flew in by breaking through the door. When I stopped in midair, I was horrified by what I saw.
Standing before me was a huge, green human-looking monster with a face full of rage.
I was freaking out on the inside. I had never seen anything like this before in my life. I knew that this creature was Bruce Banner.
The question was how could I stop him without hurting myself or Natasha.
However, I was able to think for very long because the next thing I knew was that I was in this monster's strong grip, & he started to crush me.
Despite being Kryptonian and incapable of feeling pain, this time was different.
The Hulk's grip got stronger & tighter so much so to the point that I could hardly breathe.
Then I felt something I hadn't felt since I was a child on Krypton.
I felt pain. Bone crushing pain. It hurt so bad.
It hurt so much that I did what any human would so.
I screamed in sheer agony.
The next thing I knew, I heard a voice say, "Bruce, stop!", & the feeling of my body falling out the Hulk's huge hand.
The last thing I heard was a horrified vocie say, "Kara", & then I blacked out.
