Raging Silence ~ Chapter Two ~ Caged Beast
She-Hulk pushed the Hank into the elevator, Wanda following them in. The doors closed as Jennifer hit the button labeled "B2". There was an awkward silence in which Wanda realized that she felt very short. Having Hank Pym, a six-foot tall man and a relative of the Hulk next to her in such an enclosed space made her feel small and fragile.
There was a ding as the elevator door's opened, revealing a long corridor. Hank started walking forward, the She-Hulk holding on to his arms. He turned right at the first intersection of the hallway. In front of him stood a large steel door with numerous keypads next to it.
"Once I punch in the password to get in, there'll be no way to get me out. I'm the only person who knows the password, and it can only be opened from the outside," Hank said.
"Then you'll just have to write down the password, then, won't you?" asked the She-Hulk, matter-of-factly.
"I can't write it down with you holding my arms like this," he responded, sounding somewhat annoyed.
"Then you'll just have to say it, as I write it down," Wanda said as she walked into a nearby room, coming out with a piece of paper and a pen. The scientist rattled off a sequence of numbers as Wanda wrote. After he was finished, she punched in the password and the door opened. Wanda put the piece of paper into her back pocket. (She SOOOOO has one...)
"In you go," said She-Hulk somewhat apologetically.
He walked into the barren room. He turned to look back at his two friends and teammates, but the door had already closed, securing his imprisonment. He sat on the ground and started to think about just how long it would take for them to let him out.
* * * * * Wanda and She-Hulk walked away from the containment cell, back towards the elevator. "So, are you going to explain what just happened to me?" asked She-Hulk.
"I guess," Wanda stopped and thought how exactly to word everything. "Well, you know about Hank and Jan's past...right?"
"Yes..." she responded.
"Well, Hank didn't know that we knew...He thought we all believed Jan's fake stories about falling down, or running into doors," Wanda explained, "Well, just recently he found out, that we found out."
"How?" She-Hulk questioned.
"Clint...He started talking about Thunderball, and how he was just beating down on that poor woman...Well, we started talking about sadism and then there was an immediate well..." Wanda tried to find the right words," There was an immediate sense of uncomfortableness. Hank didn't feel it, but he knew we felt it, and wanted to know why. He went off and started yelling at Jan for telling us about how he used to hit her. He and Hawkeye had a little argument, and they've been on edge since."
"Just when I thought Hank and Jan might be starting a new, healthier relationship..."
"That's what we all thought Jennifer...that's what we all thought," responded The Scarlet Witch.
"Speaking of rekindled romances...what's up with you and the Vizh?" She-Hulk questioned.
"I try to talk to him, but he keeps pushing me away. He's so uncomfortable with the situation...we both are. It's like we can't even be friends now."
"Would you want to be more than friends with him again, Wanda?"
Wanda thought it over and eventually said, "I just don't know Jennifer. I just don't know. We're so distant from each other. Maybe it's time we just...move on."
"If you want to move on, then move right along Wanda. Don't give him a second thou—"She-Hulk was interrupted by her communicator beeping. "She- Hulk here," she said into the "A", the Avenger's symbol, on her wrist.
"Jennifer, I need your help with the case. Would you mind?" It was a familiar voice, Tony Stark's.
"Sure, I'd be glad to help Tony," she responded cheerfully.
"Great, I'm in a helicopter coming to pick you up as we speak, so meet me on the roof of the Avenger's Mansion in about four minutes...Anything interesting happen while I was gone?"
"If only you knew Tony, if only you knew."
Ok, so this isn't where I originally wanted to end chapter two, but I figured that was an OK closure spot, and I promised an update for today so yeah. If I get done with my homework, and I still have time to write, you should get another update by tomorrow...maybe even tonight!
