Chapter 8: Jolly Green Giant

Alice's POV

Stupid Jungle, stupid humidity, stupid heat… I thought as I made my way through some rather dense foliage in the middle of nowhere South America. As I fought my way through some rather vicious fern-like foliage on my way to hopefully finding another village, I thought about the past two years or so. I had won that contest, to the surprise of everyone but Clint, Natasha, Hill and Coulson. I even managed to win Fury's grudging respect. But that didn't last long; I had lost it the moment I made a poorly timed joke about his eye… anyway, I had been going off on my own more and more lately, as S.H.I.E.L.D had been calling me in, even though I wasn't technically an Agent, and as I followed recent leads that I had found on my birth father. That was what I was doing now, looking for a pack of werewolves, as apparently my father either was one, or was in direct contact with a pack, marking him 'dark' in the Wizarding worlds eyes. That was something I had found out for sure, my father was a Wizard. Now if I could just get out of this stupid jungle…

Instead of finding a village, I found something much more interesting instead. Or rather, someone. At least, I THINK it was a person. There was a lot of loud roaring and gun shots rang through the air. The shooters were clearly government men- what government was irrevent- and the roarer was… something big and green. The Jolly Green Giant was clearly getting more and more pissed off the more he was shot at. And the more they shot, the madder I got. Yelling, I ran directly towards the green man and shoved my hands out in front of me, creating a funnel of air, shoving the soldiers away, scattering their weapons. The Jolly Green Giant turned to me and snarled at me. I snarled back and he seemed to smirk and nodded his head. Then he grabbed me and tossed me in the air. I screamed as I hurtled through the air, whether from fear or joy, I wasn't sure. As I flipped around, I saw a helicopter that was equipped with machine guns. Guns that were aimed at my new buddy. I snarled and summoned air in one palm, propelling me forward and fire in the other. The helicopter didn't last long. Once it was falling to the earth in fiery chunks, I let myself fall back down. Jolly Green Giant saw me fall and roared. He jumped and caught me surprisingly gently. "Thanks Big Guy." I said gently. He smiled before once again making me his personal boomerang. We continued fighting in this fashion until the enemy was either dead or had run away.

The Jolly Green Giant roared, sending any animals that were still around scurrying away. He took a couple of quick steps that he probably shouldn't have done. Those steps caused him to fall to the ground with a loud thud. I yelped as my feet momentarily left the ground. I ran over to him and checked to see if he was okay. He was still alive, which was a good thing… I guess. I looked around and spotted a natural shelter made out of rocks and trees. I closed my eyes and contracted and felt the earth to begin using the earth to pull and push the large green man towards the shelter. When he was finally in place, safe from the rain that had started to fall down, I collapsed on him, wiped out. He was heavier than he looked- and that was saying something. He grumbled in his sleep and wrapped his arms tightly around me, refusing to let me go. I squeaked and tried to wiggle out, but he bared his teeth until I stopped moving. I sighed and made myself comfortable. Something was nagging me in the back of my head, something that Phil had mentioned once, about some avenger initiative or something, but I ignored it, as I usually do much to Phil's annoyance. I fell asleep, hoping that no one would try and knock me out again in the morning.


Bruce Banner's POV

My entire body was aching. I was familiar with the feeling, associating it with the times after I changed back from the Other Guy taking over. Eyes still closed, I tried to sort through fuzzy memories about what would have set Him off. All I could recall was faint memories of being surrounded by men with guns and a girl. But I shook the thoughts away. Why would be a teenage girl be in the middle of a jungle and I highly doubted that I would be found here. As I stirred, I felt a weight on my chest. I blinked my eyes open and then my jaw dropped in shock. Sleeping on my chest was a teenage girl with blonde hair and was covered in cuts and blood. My face paled. A sick feeling gripped my body and I touched her neck, somewhat relived that I had not killed her. She groaned and mumbled, "Don't move Elephant Bob." That's when I started to worry about her mental sanity. "Excuse me?" I asked.

She opened her eyes to study me. "Sorry, but you aren't a comfy as Elephant Bob is." She said seriously.

"Who is Elephant Bob?" I asked, completely confused.

"He…. He's not important besides the fact that I left him with my sister." At my expression, she continued. "Elephant Bob is a stuffed animal."

I shook my head. "Can you please get off me? What are you even doing here? On me?" I asked.

"Sure." She said, sliding off me. When she landed on the ground, she groaned in pain.

"Oh God. Are you alright?!" I asked, panicking. I got up and checked to see if she was okay.

"I'm fine. I have actually been in worse condition before. And to answer your questions before you freaked out, I was wondering around the jungle when I heard gun shots. I ran over here and helped ya get rid of those guys. Then you passed out and you refused to let me go." She summed up. Then randomly, she asked, "Is that water?" She was pointing to a large leaf that was slowly dripping water. "Yeah. Who are you?"

She got up and crawls towards the plant. She gathered water in her hands. "I'm Alice. Who are you? Cause you were too busy being green with anger to introduce yourself."

"Sorry about that. I'm Bruce." I shook her outreached hand. "I…I don't understand. If you saw the Other Guy, how are you still alive?" I asked slowly.

"I'm guessing because you didn't see me as a threat." Alice guessed in a distracted tone. She had gathered enough water to where her cupped hands were filled with rain water. Carefully, she released the water. I blinked my eyes in surprise as the water continued to hover in the air. The water seemed to take on a faint glow and it slid over her cuts. "What the-" I spluttered.

"This is how I kinda survived being your human boomerang old Brucy boy. I have a… thing with the elements." She muttered.

"A thing?"

"I can control the elements." She said bluntly.

"That's not possible. Scientific law states-"

"Says the man who turns into a green rage monster." She snorted. "Sorry Mr. Jolly Green Giant, but you aint as scary as you think you are."

"But I could've killed you!" I shouted, wanting to get it through her thick head that I was dangerous and she should get away from me as far as she can.

"So?! I can handle myself and this is not the first time I have almost been killed. Hell, my best friend and adoptive sister Amy almost killed me when we first met!" She cried from exasperation. "And before you say anything else, I am THE freak. So, nothing you can ever say or do will ever top me in freakiness!" She glared me until I gave up trying to convince her otherwise.

"Fine. Why were you in the middle of the Jungle anyway? How old are you?" I asked

"Why is everyone obsessed with my age? I am 16, might be 17 by now, I lost track of time awhile back. I'm searching for answers I guess you could say. You wouldn't happen to see any other weirdoes around here? No? Then how about the closet village" Alice asked as she shook off the water, her cuts fully healed.

" I usually just start traveling east, there is usually a road or a river that I find to follow." I replied.

"That has been my method as well. Why don't we walk together, and when we do find a village you can ditch me as I can tell your still antsy." She smirked at me. I sighed and nodded. I could tell that I couldn't get rid of her so easily.


Alice POV

I looked at the skinny man before me, holding up his pants. "Here, I have some extra clothes with me, as I doubt you would like to flash me your junk accidently in those rags that were your pants." I told him, holding out a pair of pants and a tee shirt. He blushed beet red as he took the clothes from me. "You know, I can probably help you out with your…little green problem. That is, if you like." I offered.

"How is that possible?" Bruce asked, way too eager in my opinion.

"Well, for starters, I can see what I can do to keep your pants from ripping when you change." I said, though I added under my breath, "Besides the fact that you're fine without pants on."

"What was that?"He asked. I blinked. "Nothing." I smiled innocently. He narrowed his eyes like he didn't believe me but he didn't press the matter.

"But what about making… HIM go away? Forever?" He asked nervously.

"Why would I do that? He's apart you and you are a part of him. He's there for your protection." I stated matter of factly, kinda shocked that he wanted to get rid of the Jolly Green Giant.

"You don't understand!" He yelled. Then he looked ashamed of himself. "Sorry. That was mean."

"It's alright. I'm used to people throwing explosives at me." I said calmly. "I'm the perfect test subject for Ryan and Johnny, my brothers. We're a strange bunch." I explained. Bruce just shook his head and looked like he was trying to put it out his head. "I don't even want to even know."

"Yep. That's right." I smirked. "But anyways. I have a close friend- Harry- who told me about a friend who had… well, let's just say 'a little furry problem'. And he told me that that friend takes a potion to help the pain when he is forced to change. Perhaps I could do something similar with you if you like." He kept quite while he thought over my words.

"There's no real pain, except for the fact that it's like I'm an exposed nerve. Its more the fact that I'm a danger to everyone else."

"Maybe because you and the Jolly Green Giant aren't at peace with each other. If you tried to understand each other, maybe you could communicate better. He just wants to protect you, he's just more… animalist about it you could say. Basic with his wants and needs." He looked doubtful. We continued to walk through the forest. We came to where Bruce had been spending his nights. He put on his own clothes and grabbed his bag before leaving. "I don't stay in one place often." He explained sheepishly.

We reached a village then and Bruce visibly balked. "Hey it's okay." I smoothed.

"It just I don't like crowds all that much. It's not a great idea… Lots of tension." He mumbled, fumbling with a pair of glasses that he had pulled from somewhere. Together we went into the town. I followed my nose to a cart that was selling something meat that smelled amazingly. I struggled with the man who was selling the food with broken English and whatever they were speaking. I had only managed to pick up a few words here and there. I heard a sigh and Bruce came up and became speaking fluently in the language I was struggling in. The man handed him some food and Bruce handed him a scarf in exchange. As we walked away, Bruce handed me half of the meat before digging in himself.

We reached the edge of the village after wandering around the edges of the crowds after a while. Bruce turned to me and I could see a goodbye on his lips. I shook my head. "Don't even think about it Brucy. You are not gonna get rid of me so easily. I'm gonna follow you around since you need a friend right now."


Hello, Alice here. In my defence, Amy told me that she would write out my ideas, as i have never been good at getting a chapter down on paper. Small secens, sure, details, definatly, a whole chapter? No. And yet she's had me write several. Excuses aside, I hope you enjoyed meeting Bruce. I hope he stayed in character enough, but given that I've only watched the movies and the actor changed it was a bit difficult. I hope you enjoyed my take on the Hulk. We are going to slow down in our additions/meeting of characters soon, but we still have more to meet. Who is next? Please review with comments, questions or a guess. All Flames will be give to Ryan, Johnny and Alice to play with. Critisim is also we welcomes. Jen will be handling those since she more responsible.
