Chapter 15
Smashed
Hulk
Hulk not done yet. Stupid abomination need to be smashed!
Through the woods to the lake. Running fast, smashing trees. Hear him up ahead, still screaming, still smelly. Hulk always hate that smell. Trees burning. Bad.
The doctor talks to me – usually just whispers. Not today. His voice is loud.
"Hulk – be careful. He's going straight to the lake, so he knows these woods – he must have scouted. You don't have the home field advantage you think you do." Shut up Doc.
Rain starts. Good – rain help with fire.
Hear splash. Stupid abomination must be in lake. "Hulk! You can't swim!" Know that, Spruce. Not stupid. "Just be careful."
Trees go down to water, no clearing. See him, lying partway in the water. Go closer, but not too close. Abomination is still. Very still. But face is out of water – could be pretending. Hulk wait long time. Hulk pull down a big long branch. Hulk poke abomination with branch. Nothing. Hulk lift branch over head and slam down on stupid abomination. Nothing. "Hulk, I don't think he's dead. That wound looks like it's already starting to heal …" Shut up Spruce.
Hulk step closer and grab feet – Hulk going to pull him out and pummel a little more, just to be sure. Then Hulk go save Game Buddies and tiny village people.
Hands choking Hulk, pulling Hulk into water. Laughing. "Stupid little Banner – you've got all the strength and not a clue what to do with it." Not Banner – that's the doctor, stupid abomination. "I thought you'd be smarter." Hulk not stupid!
Can't breathe. Hulk don't like water! Too much like Capitol – no shocks though.
Clawing, pushing, slapping, kicking – nothing works.
"Hulk, play dead." Shut up Spruce. "Hulk, trust me. Play dead." Hulk try to be still, but it hard.
Everything turn black.
