Angel in love with the Incredible Hulk
Ch. 4:
We Will Rock You
Bosley just showed up, found out about David and Kelly, and, along with Kris and Julie, was very glad Kelly had finally found someone who, in his eyes, completed her. While they discussed their plan on trailing Sholto and his creeps, David offered to help them in any way he could, which oddly enough was something he wouldn't normally do, let alone agree to no longer be in hiding, but, something, he wasn't ready to let slip to Julie, Kris, and Bos was the fact that he was indeed the Hulk. He and Kelly both felt that they needed to wait until they felt it was the right time to tell them. What'll happen next?
The next day, Kelly was up and about, getting ready to head downstairs for breakfast. David was still in the deepest sleep he had ever been in. For the first time, he actually got through a night without turning into the Hulk and something about being with Kelly made him feel more at peace and content. Kelly leaned down and gave him a kiss on the forehead, before heading downstairs to meet up with Bos, Kris, and Julie.
Once downstairs, she grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down across from Kris. As they were enjoying their breakfast, Bosley told them that he had some new tabs on Sholto and his thugs and how soon they would be heading to Rio.
"So, tomorrow morning at 5AM, they'll be boarding the next flight to Rio De Janeiro?" Kelly asked.
"Yup and I scheduled us for the same flight. Now, once we get to Rio, we must split up, so, that way Sholto and his associates do not know that we are hot on his tail, otherwise, he may check out of Rio before we even have time to get to him. We have to remember that Sholto is a very fast moving guy." Bosley told her.
"Yeah, he must be. Well, it'll be hard to trail him in the jungles of Rio, but, hopefully, we finally capture him and bring him to justice. He needs to be stopped." Kelly took another sip of her coffee.
"You know something? I'm really glad that David has decided to help us in any way he could. I just hope we don't run into that horrible green creature, again." Julie chimed in.
"What green creature is this, Julie?" Bosley asked.
"Bos, it's a horrible looking thing. When we were subdued by Sholto and his goons and after David was knocked aside, that green thing just showed up out of nowhere, threw them around like rag dolls, and then, it carried Kelly off to a wooded area." Julie shuddered at the mere thought of the Hulk.
"It's huge, Bos! It's very huge and monstrous looking!" Kris added.
"Yikes! It sounds terrible and in that case, I do hope we don't encounter it." Bosley also shuddered.
Kelly, who knew they were talking about David, got really offended by the way they were talking about him, but, wanting to respect her boyfriend's privacy, kept her mouth shut, even though the feeling of offense was showing in her eyes.
"You alright, Kelly?" Bosley asked.
"Yeah, I'm good." Kelly was clearly lying.
"Did you encounter the green thing?" Bosley asked.
"I only caught a glimpse of it." Kelly lied through her teeth.
"And it didn't frighten you?" Bosley raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I didn't really fully see it, Bos. I just caught a quick glimpse of it, but, of what I saw, I wasn't frightened or anything, since, it saved my life along with Kris and Julie's lives." Kelly said, before taking another sip of coffee.
Pretty soon, David was walking toward them, after deciding he would come downstairs to join them, instead of staying hidden.
"Hi, David." Kelly waved at him.
"Hi, beautiful." David greeted as he bent down and gave her a little peck on the cheek, before sitting next to her, "So, are there any updates on Sholto and his little gremlins?".
"As a matter of fact there is, David. Tomorrow morning at 5AM, he and his "little friends" will be taking the next flight to Rio, so, we, in turn, are all scheduled to be on that flight. Once we arrive to Rio, we will split up, so, that way neither Sholto nor any of his lackies will detect us, right away and go off some place else to hide." Bosley told him.
"OK, well, in that case, I hope we all find and catch them. Plus, like I have said before, I am willing to help in any way, shape, and/or form." David nodded.
"Well, we definitely will rock them. I mean they'll have mud on their faces and be big disgraces, after they kick their cans all over the place." Kelly muttered.
"Kelly, did you just say some of the lyrics to Queen's song "We Will Rock You" ?" David raised an eyebrow after recognizing those lyrics.
"Sort of." Kelly shrugged and awkwardly smiled.
"So, David, have you heard about the green thing that runs around from place to place and-" Kris was immediately cut off.
"David, would you like anything to eat or cup of coffee or both?" Kelly quickly shifted the subject.
"A cup of coffee would be fine." David told her.
Kelly stood up, got him a cup of coffee, gave it to him, and sat back down.
"Thank you." David took a sip of the coffee.
"So, at what time should we all be heading to the air port tomorrow?" Kelly asked.
"Well, since, they are boarding the 5AM flight, we should be up around at least 3:30AM." Bosley told her.
"Wow! That sure doesn't give us a lot of time for sleep, that is." Kelly took a sip of her coffee, "But, if it helps us nab Sholto and his cronies and finally bring them to justice, putting an end to their crime sprees once and for all, then it is worth it, I suppose."
"I just hope we catch him." Bosley replied, monotonously.
"I just hope we don't run into...you know what." Julie told them, before standing up and going to get a cup of ice water.
"Well, we won't have to be in this desert anymore. I mean think about it, once we get to Rio, it will be a bit colder." Kris chimed in.
"It'll be more jungle-like, you mean and probably hotter. Now, for cold, you're thinking of Siberia, Greenland, Canada, Russia, Denmark, Greece, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and probably even, Iceland. No pun intended." David told her.
"Iceland?" Kelly turned to him and raised an eyebrow.
"I said no pun intended." David tried to keep a straight face.
"Iceland?" Kris and Julie asked.
"Apparently, they don't realize that Iceland is an actual place." Bosley joked.
"Is it a real place?" Julie asked.
"Yes, but, it is pretty small. Probably just as small as Liechtenstein." David nodded his head.
"Liechtenstein?" Kris had a confused look on her face.
"Yes, Liechtenstein is also a real place." David told her.
"Of all the places, David, you say Iceland and Liechtenstein. Of all the places in the world and you name those two, especially, Iceland regarding cold weather." Kelly tried to contain laughter.
"I said no pun intended." David rolled his eyes.
"Ignore them, David." Bosley pat him on the shoulder.
"He can ignore Kris and Julie, but, he has to put up with me." Kelly joked.
"With pleasure, which reminds me, I'm going to go to a store real fast. I'll be right back." David gave her a peck on the cheek, before leaving to go to the store.
"I wonder what he is going to buy. Maybe a souvenir or something." Bosley was a bit curious.
While they were finishing up breakfast, David indeed was at a store, but, it wasn't just any store, it was a jewelry store. He proceeded to buy two black velvet boxes. One small and the other one big. Afterward, he headed back to the hotel.
Meanwhile back at the hotel
Kelly, Bos, Kris, and Julie had finished their breakfast and were going different directions to see if they could spot Sholto and his members. Soon enough, just as Kelly was slowly backing up, she bumped into someone and immediately got started. Luckily for her, that someone was David who had a smile on his face.
"David, thank God it was you. I got scared for a minute." Kelly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kelly, I have a surprise for you." David told her.
"Yeah, you surprised me by being behind me." Kelly nodded her head.
"No, it's a special surprise. Let's go inside the room real quick." David went to the elevator and motioned for her to follow him.
She followed him into the elevator and the doors shut.
Once they got to the second floor, they headed straight to their room, went inside, and shut the door.
"OK, David, what is this surprise?" Kelly asked.
David handed her the big black velvet box, while still sporting a smile on his face. She proceeded to open the box and immediately got a smile on her face.
"Well?" David asked.
"Oh, David, I-I don't know what to-I mean I never-I don't know how I will ever repay you." Kelly was at a loss for words due to being surprised and happy that David thought of getting her something.
"Well, do you like it?" David was eager to know.
"I don't like it, David, I love it!" Kelly took the necklace out of the box and put it on, "It's so beautiful, David. I don't know how I will ever ever repay you. I mean I owe you the national debt of gratitude."
"Kelly, you don't have to repay me, I wanted to get you a gift. After all, we are boyfriend/girlfriend and that symbolizes my love for you. Plus, it's a beautiful necklace on a beautiful lady." David said in a charming suave tone.
"Oh, you." Kelly said before giving him a kiss on the lips, "I'm so lucky to have you."
"So am I, Kelly. I'm glad you liked the necklace." David held her tight in his arms.
"Well, let's go back out there in case, you know who is roaming around." Kelly rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to go put my things away first, then I'll be out." David told her.
"OK." Kelly said, before opening the door and leaving the room.
Then, just as she was about to walk down the hall, she was grabbed by Paul and quickly muffled before she could possibly let out a scream.
"Hi, there, pretty girl. Remember me?" Paul sinisterly asked.
Kelly kept flailing in his arms and trying to fight him off.
"I see that Paul has gotten you." Randy walked toward them with his switchblade pointed at Kelly.
"So, you think you will foil our boss' plans?!" Paul twisted her arm.
"Well, think, again, because, you're not going to!" Randy sinisterly stroked Kelly with his switchblade.
Kelly, repulsed and scared, despite trying hard not to show it, managed to kick the switchblade out of Randy's hand, causing it to stick into the wall. Infuriated, Paul threw and pinned her to the ground. After Randy grabbed a piece of duct tape and gagged her, Paul then proceeded to slowly start ripping Kelly's dress off.
Meanwhile inside Kelly and David's room
David, who was about to come out and join Kelly, heard her muffled cries along with the two creeps beginning to assault her and despite knowing that he could turn into the Hulk, decided to go out and confront the two assailants and save Kelly.
"Where's your boyfriend, huh?!" Randy asked in an unfriendly tone.
"Where are your other pathetic friends, baby?!" Paul managed to strip Kelly of her dress.
However, before he could do any more harm to her, he was knocked out cold as a result from David breaking a vase over his head.
"Oh, well, look who decided to show up!" Randy snarked.
"Leave her alone." David firmly said.
"What if I don't?!" Randy sassed.
"If you don't, then I'll be very angry, so, it's best that you skip off, right now." David took a step closer.
"Why don't you get lost?!" Randy kept Kelly pinned down.
"Young man, don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!" David warned.
"Oh, "Mr. Tough Guy" is going to get angry! Should I start running?!" Randy mocked, "Look, you won't do shit, so, piss off, before I start on you!"
"I'm warning you!" David slightly raised his voice.
"I'm warning you!" Randy mocked, again.
"Look, I'm serious, you better back off and leave her alone, otherwise all hell will break loose!" David told him.
"I'm not afraid of you." Randy took down one of Kelly's bra straps and started stroking her shoulder.
Suddenly, another thug came up behind David and held him back from trying to save Kelly.
"Thank you, Sean." Randy said, as he started running his fingers through Kelly's hair.
Kelly, despite trying to fight off Randy, was overpowered by him and just trying to hide her fear as he proceeded to start assaulting her.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" David yelled, as his eyes started glowing.
"Hey, Randy, you got-Aaaahhh!" Sean screamed as he saw that David had indeed transformed into the Hulk right in his arms.
The Hulk broke free from his grip, picked him up, and threw him like a rag doll. Then, he turned his attention to Randy and walked toward him.
"Oh, relax, baby, it'll-" Randy stopped mid-sentence as he saw the Hulk standing over him, "Oh, no! Not you, again!"
The Hulk did his usual pose and growled at him. Randy screamed, got off of Kelly, and went to run off, but, was grabbed by the Hulk and thrown into the wall. Sean, having gotten up, grabbed a chair, and went to hit the Hulk with it, only for the Hulk to break it with his fist. Scared stiff, Sean ran off to hide, leaving Randy at the Hulk's mercy. However, Hulk gave chase and finally caught up to him, just as he was about to get into the elevator and was thrown down a flight of stairs. As Sean looked up, the Hulk did his usual pose, again followed by a growl, and ran back to where Kelly and Randy were. Seeing that Randy was out cold, the Hulk picked Kelly up and held her in a hug until she came to. It wasn't long until she came to, saw the Hulk looking at her, and got a relieved smile on her face.
"Oh, David, you saved me!" Kelly gave the Hulk a hug, "You're my hero!"
The Hulk gave a smile and kept hugging her.
"I love you, David." Kelly said, again, before giving the Hulk a peck on the cheek.
The Hulk let out a few gentle growls and grunts, before, slowly giving her a peck on the cheek. This was the first time that the Hulk had ever shown those kind of emotions before. He then looked over his shoulder, saw her dress laying on the ground, went over, picked it up, and went to hand it back to her.
"Thank you, David, but, I have another one that I will put on." Kelly went over to the door of their room and motioned for him to follow her.
The Hulk obediently followed her and they went inside their room.
"David, I owe you the national debt. I mean you saved my life,twice, now and you gave me a necklace. I-I am very glad to have you back in my life and I really couldn't ask for better, because, nobody is better than you are." Kelly sat down on the couch and pat it in order for him to sit down.
The Hulk sat down next to her and gazed into her eyes, again.
"I really don't know how I could ever thank you, because, just saying thank you, to me, isn't enough." Kelly put her hand on his shoulder.
The Hulk got a concerned look on his face after noticing a small bruise on the right side of her forehead and pointed at it.
"What's the matter, David?" Kelly saw the look on the Hulk's face and got a look of confusion.
The Hulk moved her bangs and kept staring at the bruise.
"What is it?" Kelly asked.
The Hulk tapped the bruise, then pointed to the right side of his forehead as if to show her.
"Is there something on my-Ow! I just lightly touched the right side of my forehead and it hurt." Kelly took two of her fingers, tapped the bruise, brought her two fingers away from her forehead and looked to see if there was blood, "Well, there's no blood, thankfully."
The Hulk grabbed her hand and gently held it, while looking into her eyes, yet again.
"If you weren't here, David, I would have probably been killed by those rascals. I'm relieved that none of them managed to rape me." Kelly told him.
The Hulk took off his tattered shirt and put it around Kelly, so, that way she would feel more modest.
"Thank you, David, but, you didn't have to do that." Kelly rubbed his cheek with her finger, very lovingly, "But, don't you want to cover up your modesty? Certainly, you wouldn't want to feel un-modest."
The Hulk shook his head, as if he understood her and indicated that he didn't mind being shirtless.
"Oh, well, in that case, that was very modest of you to do that for me." Kelly smiled at him.
Soon enough, the Hulk started to revert back to the form of David. Once he was back in his normal form, David was still looking into her eyes.
"Kelly, what happened?" David was a bit dazed.
"David Banner, you are my hero!" Kelly hugged him, yet again.
"I am?" David asked.
"Yes, you saved me from being raped." Kelly was still hugging him.
"You mean when I turned into the Hulk, I saved you?" David was still trying to process what Kelly had just said.
"Yes." Kelly nodded.
"Wow! I-I guess I have a bit of Hercules in me, after all." David gave a smile and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're better than Hercules." Kelly rolled her eyes, after lightly slapping him on the arm.
"Well, I-" David was immediately cut off when there was knocking on the door.
"Oh, I wonder who it could be." Kelly whispered.
"Well, whoever it is, I think we had better get some clothes on. I don't want to answer the door shirtless, with tattered pants and certainly, you don't want to go to the door in your under garments after what had just happened a few minutes ago." David looked at her tattered shirt, bra, and underwear clad body and couldn't help the smirk that was beginning to form.
"Oh, David!" Kelly rolled her eyes, again, covered her chest with her arms, and went inside the bedroom, after seeing him smirk.
David, despite his hardest, was beginning to laugh at her reaction. He knew he felt different, more and more at peace, because, now, he would usually be on the run and hitchhiking, but, he felt more safer and content with Kelly. However, this relaxed feeling was interrupted by the continued knocking at the door and just as he was about to go answer it, Kelly came out in her pink shirt with the brown stripes on it, black pants, and her hair with two pieces tied together, making a small beehive-like appearance.
"Wow! Kelly you look beautiful as always." David looked mesmerized by her appearance.
"Oh, stop it, you. You're always charming me." Kelly gave him a peck on the cheek, before going to the door, "I'll see who it is, while you go change into another shirt. Wouldn't want to catch cold now, would you?"
"How can I catch a cold in the desert?" David asked, as he went toward the bedroom.
"Ahem." Kelly cleared her throat and pointed to the bedroom like a doting mother would.
"Right." David mouthed, before going into the bedroom and shutting the door. Despite rolling his eyes, he kind of liked it when Kelly had her mothering moments.
Kelly went to the door, opened it, and it was only Julie, Kris, and Bos. They walked in, pulled up some chairs, and sat down. Afterward, David came out from the bedroom, pulled up a chair, and sat next to Kelly. Bos, Julie, and Kris knew about what had happened and asked Kelly and David if they were alright.
"Yes, we're fine, now." Kelly replied.
"I sure hope so, because, you have a nasty bruise on your forehead." Bosley pointed out.
"David, are you alright? Did those little thugs hurt you?" Julie asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. I knocked one of them out with a vase and saved Kelly." David nodded his head.
"Looks like you must have knocked them all aside, because, one of them was at the bottom of a staircase, another one was next to the wall that had a dent in it, and one of them had glass near them. The one with the glass was probably the one who got the vase broken over his head. The important thing is that nobody was killed." Bosley added.
"Wait a minute, Bos, you said the two others were knocked into a wall and down a staircase, right?" Kris asked.
"Yes." Bosley nodded.
"Well, David, certainly couldn't have picked them up. No offense, David, but, you're not that strong to pick up two thugs and toss them like rag dolls." Kris pointed out.
"None taken." David felt a knot form in his stomach as he knew that Kris somehow knew about the Hulk.
"Oh no, do you think that horrible looking creature showed up?" Julie's demeanor changed from concerned to scared.
"I wouldn't doubt it. I mean that thing is huge and for all we know he could have showed up, probably knocked David out, tossed the creeps like rag dolls, and carried Kelly off to this room." Kris suggested.
"Yeah, and then, David probably got up and went after it, in order to get Kelly and save her, but, couldn't find her until he saw that the door was opened, that the creature probably left, went in, and comforted Kelly." Julie added.
"What creature?" Bosley asked.
"Oh, it's horrible Bos! It's huge, green, and it growls!" Kris told him.
"Yeesh! I wouldn't want to run into it!" Bosley shuddered at the mere thought of the Hulk, still unaware that the Hulk and David were the same person.
Kelly and David exchanged glances and shrugged, while thinking about whether or not to blow the whistle and David reveal his true identity, that he was the Hulk, and the story behind it. They both ended up shaking their heads, still wanting to wait for the right time.
"Well, I hope it doesn't follow us to Rio." Kris told them.
"Speaking of Rio, do you all remember the plan?" Bosley asked.
"Yes, we'll be up by 3AM, get to the airport, board the 5AM flight to Rio, follow Sholto and his friends, stay far behind them, and once we get to Rio, split up, right?" Kelly went over all of it.
"Yes, good memory, Kelly." Bosley nodded.
"I believe we all know what we're doing." David chimed in.
"OK, good, because, one false move and that'll be it for us." Bosley replied.
"Don't worry, Bos, we'll get Sholto in no time." Julie reassured him.
"Well, since it is getting late, maybe we all should turn in early in order to be up and ready for the flight." Bosley said.
"Bos, it's only 8:00." Kelly replied in a monotonous way.
"Early bird gets the worm, Kelly." Bosley said, before heading out the door and to his room.
"Well, this is it, hopefully." Kris walked out the door.
"I sure hope so." Julie followed her out the door and shut it.
"Phew! That was a close one, Kelly." David brushed sweat off of his forehead.
"What was?" Kelly asked.
"We both came close to revealing the truth about the Hulk and me." David refreshed her memory.
"I know, but, when the time comes, we'll tell them. Remember, we agreed on it, David." Kelly reminded him.
"I remember." David stretched his arms.
"Let's turn in, because, 3AM will be around the corner." Kelly said, before going into the bedroom.
"Well, goodbye, Casablanca, hello Rio De Janeiro." David followed her into the bedroom in order to turn in for the night until 3AM came around.
Time: 3:00 in the morning
David and Kelly were up and ready as planned. They grabbed their bags, left their room, and went into the elevator in order to make it down to the first floor.
Once, they got to the first floor, they were met up by Bos, Kris, and Julie. Afterward, they checked out of the hotel, followed Sholto and his creeps, very far behind, got into separate taxi cabs, and headed straight for the airport.
As soon as they got to the airport, they boarded the plane and soon enough, they were headed straight for Rio De Janeiro, bidding Casablanca a farewell.
What's next? Will they finally catch Sholto and his goons? Will David ask Kelly an important question?
To Be Continued...
