While the whales armour was falling off the creature, her father returned and launched a small missile at it, killing it. Kagome scrunched up her nose at the scent of burnt flesh as some flew by, still sizzling. As for Dr. Banner, or what he turned in to, he finally turned around and faced the group. His shoulders heaved as he panted heavily and made his way towards them.
She let out a squeak when he grunted and looked down at her, the others shifting slightly. While they were doing their best to pay attention to their surroundings, her current interaction with the green giant was apparently quite a distraction.
"Hi there, I'm Kagome," she offered a wave when he continued to stare her down. She was still highly confused as to what exactly he was. She could tell he was human, but there was something... off about him. Which didn't mean he was evil or wrong, she just couldn't put her finger on it.
"Hulk," his voice was thick, rough and deep, making his reply sound more like a grunt than an actual word.
"Hulk?" Was that his name?
He grunted again, shifting to face her completely. He raised a hand towards her, one she quickly realized was probably capable of wrapping around her completely, and gently patted her head with a finger. The action reminded her of a child carefully petting a kitten. "'Gome."
She smiled up at him, nodding her head, noticing the others' incredulity even as they relaxed a bit more. Reaching up, she patted the finger that rested atop her head, her smile growing when the Hulk grunted, his own lips twitching in a smile.
"Guys..."
Looking to the side, Kagome was amused by her father's fidgeting as he watched her interactions with the Hulk, but then turned her attention to Romanoff's silent vigil. Aliens kept spilling through the wormhole, accompanied by more of the flying whale creature. There was no time to lose… they had to close the rift now, or be overrun.
AN:Today... sucked in general. But I hope this update makes up for the fact that it's Monday. Read, enjoy, and review!
