Chapter 2

It was chaos, pure chaos. People streamed in every direction and officials seemed simply incapable of creating any sense of order. Bruce tried to get an explanation out someone but all he got was an annoyed glance. He pushed his way through the throng to the observation deck.

If the sight of the earth from 384,000 Km away took his breath away it was nothing, nothing compared to this. A rip in space itself so large it could swallow an entire planet. Colours swirling in a spectacular collage, brilliant flashes of lightning purple, red and blue. It was magnificent. Magnificent and terrifying.

Most dismissed it as some strange celestial occurrence but it was going to have more of an impact on their world than they could have possibly considered. Deep in the bush, the incredible Hulk awoke.
