Chapter One
Bruce dumped his duffel bag onto the floor and collapsed onto his bed. He took a deep breath. That was too close. The vampires, if that's what they were, were lucky they had the Slayer, as that girl was called, instead of having to deal with.him. The Hulk would've torn them apart.
He took his glasses off; to rub his tired eyes. These days he's feeling like a tired old man. Bruce Banner has spent a good amount of his adult life on the run, looking for a cure for his affliction. But they never seemed to work. He'd learned a long time ago two perfectly good reasons for that.
The first reason was that Bruce's physiology, altered by gamma radiation, had been implanted in his DNA code after so many years. He doubted that any of the cures would've worked on him.
The second reason was his multiple personalities, given form by the gamma radiation, weren't about to let Bruce cure himself, because that'd mean all of them would remain trapped in his head, never to see the sunlight again. Bruce often wondered what would've happened if he hadn't been exposed to the radiation all these years ago.
"I suppose I'd have ended up in a padded room a long time ago." He mused aloud.
Bruce decided that that was enough stowing around. He'd spent too much of his life doing that. He got up and left his motel room to get dinner.
What he didn't know that others were watching him.
From the shadows, two vampires were watching him. One of them moaned aloud, "This one is raw power." She clutched her head, her claws digging into her scalp, "He will be the harbinger of death and destruction. He holds within him the key to open the Hellmouth, and unleash the most beautiful demons ever seen."
Glenn Talbot, formerly an Air Force major, now supposedly dead, grinned evilly, "Then let's use this to our advantage, Dru." He smirked at Drusilla, and turned back to watching the unsuspecting man walk.
"Better get ready, Banner." Talbot chortled, " 'Cause the time to set the beast free is coming, and revenge on him and everyone who has ever left me will be mine."
