(Ördögház)

The massive Ördögház - which is located north of Budapest, which is not that far from the small town of Szentendre at the foot of the Pilis Hills, is a massive mansion that serves as the seat of power for the Old World Coven of Vampires after their previous home, Castle Corvinus, was destroyed sometime back in the 15th century.

Upon arriving at Ördögház, Selene helps her wounded partner Rigel walk over to the guards at the front gate so he can receive immediate medical attention before she headed into the mansion alone, bypassing everyone inside the main foyer, who all gave Selene curious glances, but the beautiful vampiress paid no mind to them as she headed to the mansion's armory. The Death Dealer marched to the weapons locker and places a handgun, which she had taken from the dead Lycan Trix, on the desk of Kahn, the Coven's weapon master. "We have a serious problem." She states, with both a serious expression and tone on her face.

Confused by what Selene meant, Kahn picks up the gun and removes the clip, taking out one of the UV bullets so he can examine it. The Weapons Master looks at it more closely under a light, saying to Selene, "This bullet...it matches a high-tech military tracer round that was developed by Dr. Michael Morbius at Horizon Labs for unknown research purposes." He confirms after a minute of examining the UV bullet before turning back to Selene and adding, "Several crates of these were stolen from a shipment a few months ago, Selene. It would seem the Lycans were responsible for the thefts and modified these rounds to emit UV radiation upon hitting a target. Like us."

Selene's eyes widened a bit upon hearing this. "That would explain why Rigel was severely burned from the inside out." She said, inwardly boiling with anger at the fact that the Lycans have a new weapon that can kill Vampires.

Just as Kahn was about to respond to this, Kraven, the Old World Coven's acting Regent, along with his beautiful servant Erika and his men, entered the armory, with an angry scowl on Kraven's face, saying, "I demand an explanation for that shootout in the subway tonight, and after seeing Rigel in his current condition, I want it now!"

Selene was hesitant to speak at first, but spoke up anyway, responding with, "Me, Rigel, and Nathaniel tracked two Lycans. They seemed to be following a human. We tried to pursue, but they discovered us and opened fire on us. Rigel was hurt, but I chased one of the Lycans into the tunnels and killed it. But then...I heard something. A roar...and it was unlike that of any Lycan that I've ever seen or heard. So I followed the sound, and I saw the other Lycan, transformed...and it was fighting a massive, green-skinned creature. It looked human, but it was extremely muscular, and it easily overpowered the Lycan, no matter how hard or fast it attacked..." Selene said to the group of Vampires before adding, "Before it fought the Lycan off...the creature just...gazed at me. It didn't attack me, and I didn't attack either. It stared at me with...curiosity in its eyes before it saved me from the Lycan; it was going to pounce at me, but the creature punched it away with a single blow. It then smashed through the subway tunnels like it was nothing and disappeared into the night."

Upon hearing Selene recount tonight's events and processing what she said, Kraven stood there in silence for a few moments, only to finally speak up, scoffing at Selene and saying, "Do you really expect me to believe all that?" He asked her before adding, "After manhandling a Lycan, this so-called creature only stared at you and never once tried to kill you? Either you've gone mad in the last 600 years, or you're just imagining things." He says to her in a mocking tone of voice.

Selene, annoyed by Kraven's reaction, narrowed her eyes at the acting Vampire Regent and said, "I know how it sounds, but that's what happened. Look, I don't care if you believe me or not, but Nathaniel is dead and Rigel is barely clinging to life! We should gather the other Death Dealers and head back; I sense there was more than just two Lycans stalking around down there."

"No. Absolutely not." Kraven interjected, shaking his head in disagreement. "Not for some random incursion. The Awakening is a week away and this house is in a state of unrest as it is, so we're not going to send anyone down there without proof."

"There could be hundreds of Lycans in those tunnels!" The beautiful dark-haired vampire stressed before adding, "They could attack us at any moment."

"I stand by my decision, Selene." The Coven's Regent says to her, crossing his arms and giving Selene a stern, authoritative glare.

The gorgeous Death Dealer growls at Kraven in frustration before brushing past him and muttering, "Viktor would believe me..."

After Selene storms off, Kraven sighs and looks at Erika, saying to her, "Erika, please follow her and make sure that she is dressed properly for our guests' arrival tonight." He orders at the beautiful blonde, who nods at his command and heads out of the armory to catch up to Selene.

"You know...That creature Selene claims to have encountered?" Kahn interjected. "It's possible that it was a mutant of some type. Maybe the Lycans are recruiting mutants into their ranks now?" He suggested as he glances at Kraven.

However, Kraven rolled his eyes at this theory, saying to the Weapons Master, "Now you're just being paranoid, Kahn. Mutants have their own problems to deal with besides our war with the Lycans. Those Lycans were probably just out hunting for food."

Kahn responds to this with a simple shrug before saying, "Just a thought." After saying this, Kahn goes about his business as Kraven and his men leave the armory.


(Apartment 510)

"Oh, thank God I'm finally out of the rain." Bruce tiredly muttered as he entered his apartment with nothing else but his torn shorts and an old hoodie that he got from a kind pedestrian that lended it to him, as he assumed Bruce had been robbed. Luckily for him, Hulk had ducked into an old alleyway after smashing his way out of the subway tunnels and quickly changed into Bruce so as to not raise any suspicions from authorities, though the gamma scientist still couldn't wrap his mind over what happened tonight.

A werewolf. He encountered and fought a werewolf! Of all the villains and monsters that Bruce has battled against in the past couple of years such as Abomination and the Absorbing Man, a werewolf was the last thing that he'd ever expect to encounter. "And then there was that gorgeous woman in black...Was she hunting them?" Bruce questioned himself aloud, referring to Selene. "She must've been. I mean, she was definitely locked and loaded for something." He added. He then let out a frustrated sigh before sitting down on his bed as a million questions swirled about in his head, looking over at his alarm clock and realizing he'll need to get ready for work soon, but he might have some time to shower and get some sleep. Pushing aside his questions for now, Bruce gathered up some clean clothes before heading into the bathroom to shower, though the mental image of the beautiful woman in black never left his mind.


(Subway Tunnels: The Lycan Den)

Two Lycans are currently wolfed out and brawling against one another while their friends stand around them, cheering them on like it was a boxing match. One of the Lycans slashed his opponent across the chest, while the other clawed him in the face, causing blood to spurt out. Before their bloody fight could continue, a loud boom echoed throughout the chamber. The two Lycans and their friends immediately stopped what they were doing, with the two Lycans slowly shifting back to their human forms as their leader, Lucian steps forward with a SPAS shotgun in hand and silently glared at the two brawling Lycans.

"You're acting like a pack of rapid DOGS!" Lucian yelled, still glaring at his men angrily. "And that, gentlemen, simply will not do. Not if you expect to defeat the Vampires on their grounds. Not if you expect to survive a war." After making sure the other Lycans understood the point he was making, Lucian glances at the two naked Lycans that fought each other. "Pierce! Taylor! Put some clothes on, will you?" He ordered as said Lycans nodded and then left.

"Lucian!" The Lycan Leader turned at his name being called as a fellow Lycan walked up to him. "Raze has returned."

"What happened to Trix?" Lucian questioned.

The Lycan shook his head slightly. "Death Dealers got him."

"And the subject?" Lucian asked, narrowing his eyes when the Lycan once again shook his head.


(Subway Tunnels: Underground Lab)

Meanwhile, Singe - Lucian's head scientist and a former biochemist from Austria, was currently working in his makeshift lab, experimenting with the blood of a Corvinus Clan descendent - Michael Corvin, who had been taken by the Lycans at some point. He was bloodied up, unconscious, and strung up in chains. Singe was experimenting on Michael in the hopes of finding a way to combine both of the bloodlines to give the Lycans an edge, as they are nearing extinction across Europe and some parts of Asia. If the Lycans had some hybrids on their side, they would have a better fighting chance against the Vampires, but despite being physically stronger than both Vampires and Lycans, a hybrid wouldn't be able to fight an Elder such as Viktor or Amelia.

This is where Bruce Banner comes into play here, or rather his blood does, as combining his gamma-radiated blood with that of a Vampire and a Lycan would create an incredibly strong and ferocious opponent for any Vampire. Singe was still having a hard time believing that such an immensely powerful and extraordinary creature like Hulk existed in this world, although some mutants out there share his skepticism, and very few mutants could compare to the Hulk's amazing power in Singe's eyes, especially after managing to see past footage of the green-skinned monster's many battles against U.S. armed forces.

The former biochemist takes a blood sample out of Michael Corvin's arm then adds it to a test tube, along with a bit of Lycan blood and then stirs it up a bit. After waiting a while, he looks into the test tube, then smiles lightly, saying to himself, "Positive." He said with satisfaction, beyond happy that both DNA strands have blended together perfectly.

Suddenly, a wounded Raze is carried into the lab by another Lycan, while a separate one carries in Trix's lifeless body, followed closely by Lucian, who followed them into the lab. Singe, seeing this, immediately pulls up a chair for Raze to sit down in as Trix's corpse is placed on a slab.

"Leave us." Lucian commands the two Lycans that carried in Raze and Trix, who both exited the lab without a word. "What happened?" He asks, directing his gaze at Raze.

"We were tracking the human you sent us after. We followed him for a few blocks, and he went down into a subway platform. We followed him more, but we were ambushed by three Death Dealers right as we were about to grab him." Raze said, explaining what went down earlier. "We managed to wound one of them and kill the other before I encountered that...creature. It must've followed me into the tunnels. I tried my best...but he was too strong for me to subdue, let alone bring back here. The monster wounded me, but I managed to get away." He added.

"Incredible." Singe said in an awe-filled tone of voice upon hearing Raze talk about Hulk's amazing strength. "Absolutely incredible."

Lucian, ignoring his head scientists comments, looks to Raze and asks, "The Vampires didn't realize that you were following a human, right?"

"I...can't be sure." Raze answered as his wounds started healing. "One of them might've seen us fighting in the tunnels. A woman."

Lucian, visibly frustrated, asks, "Did you at least get some of the creature's DNA?" He asked through gritted teeth, trying to keep his anger in check.

Raze hesitantly shook his head in answer before adding, "No, Lucian. The creature's skin was too tough for me. I doubt even bullets would work on him."

Lucian, upon hearing this extra bad news, growled furiously. "Must I do everything myself?!" He said before leaving the lab in a huff.


(Ördögház: The Elders' Chamber)

Selene is standing within the Elders' Chamber, where she stares at Viktor's resting place in order to ease her mind as Erika enters and walks up to her.

"Erika." Selene says to her friend. "I have always disliked Kraven...and I have never understood why Viktor would leave him in charge of this Coven. Viktor would believe my story within a second if I told him."

"Well...You can't exactly tell Viktor your...hard-to-believe story. Especially not now. Come. We have to get ready for Amelia and her envoy's arrival. That...Day-Walker fellow has been causing trouble for our New York branch." Erika says, eyeing the Elders' chamber several times. However, Selene ignores what she's saying and silently heads off to her room, with Erika following closely behind her.


(Selene's Quarters)

Selene is now currently in her room on her computer, curiously searching for anything she could find on a 'large green creature'. After many minutes of searching, she finally found something tangible: A short video clip titled 'Green Sasquatch'. As she watches the video and reads several online newspaper articles detailing the same creature helping people in various situations all over the world, Selene noticed that the creature in the video and the articles that has been mostly seen roaming through the wilds of Canada until recently...was the same beast she encountered in the subway tunnels. The same creature that protected and saved her from Raze. "It can't be..." Selene said in shock at her discovery. The beautiful vampire then decided to look through Rigel's camera at some of the photos he took during the Lycan hunt and she found a few pictures that had the mysterious human in it. The same human that the Lycans were stalking. As Selene used a zoom function on the camera to get a closer look at the photos, she couldn't help but inwardly think to herself, "This man is quite handsome for...whatever he is...". However, she shook that thought out of her mind when she saw a name tag on the man's shirt. It read, 'Bruce Davidson'.

The Death Dealer then moved back to her computer, typing up Bruce Davidson and quickly finding his address. Upon memorizing the address, she gathered her long leather coat and firearms before heading out of the mansion to meet Bruce.
