This chapter ties in directly to some of the events that happened in my latest chapter of The Hunt. Enjoy!

Oh and PS: Warp/Driver/Jack Saunders is my OC Character, he's a speedster who rarely pauses for breath when he speaks. His speech lacks coma's and pauses because that is how he speaks, its no mistake on my part.

She-Hulk: The Hunt

Chapter 2: Unexpected meetings

One of the first clients I ever had was the one case I never resolved. A few years ago when I was younger and pretty much just starting out I heard of an assault case at a hospital. This was before I turned She-Hulk for good, back when I was just little Jennifer Walters. I offered my services to a young man named Cade Hunter. He had that bad boy look about him, at least from the photos I'd seen. When I actually met him up close he wasn't what I expected. He was at the hospital because of a bunch of injuries he had claimed. The details were kept under wraps but apparently he had been in some kind of fight. Little Jennifer Walters stands at the reception desk and waits to be let into Hunter's room. When she gets there she gasps at the bandages across Hunter's face and hands. Looking back on it I realise that that was the most horrific thing I had ever seen, that was before I'd actually really look at my cousin as he transforms. Cade's just lying on his bed, looking out at the window. I didn't know what he was looking at, but he had a far off look in his eyes. Whatever he saw made him really think about his life.

I asked him why he was refusing morphine or pain relief. Then he takes his eyes off the window and he says the nicest thing to me. He says I'm different from these other lawyers who are just out for the money. Jennifer's heart actually skipped a few beats and she even blushed. But looking back on that moment I actually feel quite humbled. He said he didn't deserve someone like me defending him. Cade Hunter had assaulted a billionaire who instead of donating technology to the hospital hired models to "brighten the place up". Hunter attacked the rich guy, even in his wounded state and apparently broke the man's arm. At the time I was prepared to keep Cade's out of jail, but when he complimented me I resolved to sue the billionaire. Cade disappeared before anything at court could begin, but I never forgot what he told me. He called me a good person; tell me would a good person do this:

She-Hulk tore off Warp's helmet. Before he could even recover from the shock she gripped the sides of his head and pulled him into a deep kiss. He closed his eyes, clutching her waist as she hungrily kissed and bit his mouth.

Now don't get the wrong idea about me. You haven't seen what happened before this whole situation. As you know it all started with the Avengers call. You probably also know that the Iron Man was calling any available Avengers to Shadowland. I answered the call, leaving Foley in bed. As I jumped from rooftop to rooftop I wondered why all this was happening? So soon after the city had been have repaired, another threat was just around the corner. What I didn't know at the time was that this was a threat I was all too familiar with. Apparently Aeon had called the man Deathblade. What I didn't know was that he and I had met before.

She-Hulk threw Demolitian Man aside as she ran towards Deathblade. Jen threw her fist forward, but the armoured man ducked underneath her punch. He then grabbed her wrist, skilfully throwing her over his shoulder. She-Hulk flipped in midair, easily landing on her feet. She then broke off into a run, swinging her leg at the scythe wielder. Deathblade blocked the kick with the handle of his scythe and diverted the course of She-Hulk's attack. Sliding across the ground, She-Hulk came to a halt near Jack of Hearts.

Deathblade was a guy in black armour with a penchant for blades. He had recently attacked Victoria Hand's Helicarrier and had apparently killed the second (or was it third?) Swordsman. Then he's attacked by Daredevil and his new Hand ninjas. When they reached Shadowland, Deathblade then revealed his trump card. Somehow he had resurrected dead heroes and was now using them against the Avengers. Jack of Hearts died trying to save Cassie Lang. Now he was Deathblade's servant.

Jack Of Hearts raised his hands, firing a blast that struck Jen in the back. She rolled across the floor before coming a halt at a giant foot. Looking up, She-Hulk widened her eyes as Black Goliath moved his foot downwards. He squashed the female Hulk, leaving a foot sized crater. However, much to Goliath's and Jack of Heart's shock, She-Hulk pushed Goliath backwards. She-Hulk then jumped up, slamming her fist into the side of Goliath's face. The force of her punch sent him stumbling back, shaking the ground as he landed.

"We're sorry about this Jen, but we can't stop ourselves!" Jack of Hearts said.

"That's not a good enough excuse," She-Hulk growled. "You guys are Avengers, fight whatever's controlling you."

She grabbed the collar of Jack's uniform and threw him towards the man who had enslaved him. Jen tossed her hair back as she approached the two men.

"You know this isn't exactly the best laid out plan, using resurrected heroes has already been done," She-Hulk said cockily.

"My plans are just beginning Walters," Deathblade said.

The way his voice echoed and the way he pointed at me actually shocked me. I soon realised that he wasn't actually pointing at me. He was giving me a subtle warning. I turned around and came face to face with someone I thought I'd never see again. He had bought my Ex Husband John Jameson back from the dead. Now you'd probably make the mistake of thinking that John wasn't much of a threat. Ignore his air force background, his hand to hand and weapons training. Now picture him with white fur, razor sharp teeth and muscles half the size of my cousins and you've got the Man Wolf.

Man Wolf rolled across the floor with She-Hulk underneath him. He snapped his jaws at her, barely missing her jugular. She-Hulk grabbed his jaws, keeping them from shutting before she threw John off of her. Jen quickly jumped to her feet and looked to Deathblade in anger. She jumped towards the armoured man, only to be tackled from behind. They rolled across the ground again, slamming into the side of a car. Man Wolf got up off the floor, snarling at Jen as she gripped the side of the car.

Our marriage wasn't real, at least not in the sense that I reciprocated his feelings. In actuality I was influenced by Starfox's hypnotic powers. He "pushed" me to love John more than I actually did. Looking back on it I realise I was actually just a girl with a crush. John loved me, but I didn't feel as strongly as he did. We annulled our marriage and I was single again.

She-Hulk lifted the car up and slammed it into Man Wolf's side. The force of the blow sent him flying straight into a brick wall. Jen rubbed her forehead as she felt her muscles expand slightly. She looked to the Shadowland fortress, watching as the possessed Daredevil assembled his Hand Ninjas. Deathblade suddenly crashed through the window, piercing a spear through Daredevil's chest. She-Hulk widened her eyes as the demonic Ghost Rider then grabbed Daredevil and threw him through a building. Deathblade prepared himself as Iron Fist ran towards him. In a rage, the martial artist swung his glowing fist forward. Suddenly, Aeon landed in front of Deathblade, intercepting the Iron fist with his shield. Jen narrowed her eyes at Aeon before Deathblade jumped off of the Shadowland fortress. He landed on the streets, spinning his scythe around.

John and I only dated; I couldn't say whether we were in love. But what I do know is this, what we had was amazing. Now I see John under someone else's control. Deathblade put my ex husband on a leash like a dog. My heart begins to pump faster than it normally does. I feel the veins on my muscles throbbing as my strength increase. The angrier I get the stronger I get and I can harness that anger better than my cousin.

"DEATHBLADE!" She-Hulk roars.

His scythe begins to glow as She-Hulk rushes towards him. They both move forward, swinging their chosen weapons. The red and black energy clashes with the raw strength and power of She-Hulk's fist. She-Hulk let out a yell as she felt something drag itself against her arm. But that didn't stop her, she followed through with her punch, leaving a chip in Deathblade's scythe. The two fighters slid past one another, with She-Hulk holding her fist out. She widened her eyes as a slit appears up her arm, sending green blood dripping to the floor. Her healing factor quickly begins to sneak in, but it doesn't ease the pain one bit. Jen rubbed her head, her vision going blurry as she felt her head ache. Then she fell to her knees, looking to Deathblade as he looked at the green blood on his hands.

"Sorry Miss Walters," He whispers.

I realise then who he is, Cade Hunter. The other Avengers soon arrive, but I'm too disorientated to find out what's happening. This headache feels like my heads been split open and my arm. Even though it's healed I can still feel the pain. Then I feel myself being lifted off the ground and the next thing I know I'm flying away from Hell's Kitchen.

They landed on the roof of a building, far away from the imminent chaos in the kitchen. She-Hulk stepped away from the man who had taken her. When she turned around she actually gasped in shock. Standing in front of her was John Jameson, but not the wolf he was previously. This time he appeared as the handsome man She-Hulk once married. He wore a green and yellow suit, but his eyes had taken on a yellow colour.

John Jameson never could catch a break. Perhaps the first case of him developing super powers was his brief stint as Colonel Jupiter. He got super strength but unfortunately his mind wasn't stable.

Jen kept her guard up as John took a few steps towards her. He moved his hands towards her shoulders. But the strong woman slapped his hands aside and looked him in the eyes.

"What are you doing John?" She-Hulk asked.

"I've been given a second chance Jennifer, Deathblade is controlling but he has the best of intentions. He's going to change everything, and he's allowed us to put our pasts behind us. I'm not the only one, he let Ben and Kraven have that chance," John explained.

He still tried to grab her shoulders. His actions were affectionate, but she wouldn't let him touch her.

"John, what is he planning?"

"He's going to kill them Jennifer, all the evil and all the scum, you of all people should know of the faults in the system, after all you use them everyday for a living."

"No!" She-Hulk growled.

My heart races with anger, this is the reason he's back? This is why Cade Hunter returned? He plans to kill all the villains in a self-righteous crusade?

"That's not how a developed society works John, where do you draw the line between justice and revenge?" I ask the question we all use to justify our actions.

The fights about more than changing the world. It's about doing the right thing even when people around us demand more. Civil War taught me that sometimes what the people demand isn't enough.

"I don't want to fight you Jennifer, please turn back into her so I can tell you something I've wanted to say for so long," John practically begged as he gripped Jen's shoulders.

"I cant," She-Hulk said.

"I promise you I wont hurt you, I would never do anything to hurt you."

"You don't understand, I can't physically change back."

"Then you should talk to your cousin or Doctor Richards, they could help. I died Jen, during the invasion I was doing what I was trained to do, fly planes. But the invaders shot me down, and as I crashed I prayed for just one thing, a chance to see you again. The woman I fell in love with, the woman I've never stopped loving," John pulled She-Hulk closer into his chest, begging for a kiss.

"Everything's different now John, I don't love you," She-Hulk said.

"But you accepted my proposal, even if you were under the affects of Star Fox's powers you still felt those feelings. Do you remember what it felt like?"

It felt like I was flying, being married to John was probably one of the most fantastic experiences of my life. Every night when we made love I felt at peace. It's a cliché I know, but there was a moment, just a moment where I wished that Starfox was lying about using his powers. But he wasn't, everything I went through was a lie. Although one often wonders, what if I did truly accept John's proposal?

"Whatever you felt Jen I felt it too, if everything works out, if I can have my life back then I want to marry you again, and this time I want it to work out. I want to grow old with you Jennifer Walters, would you marry me?" He asked.

She-Hulk shoved John aside, seeing the possessive look in his eyes. She could still feel the pain in her arm.

"John stop this, you remember what your Colonel Jupiter powers did to you?" Jen asked.

"I'm in control now, please Jen just accept what I'm saying I've always lo…"

His voice just becomes a blur to me, because the whole world is now a blur. For the second time today I'm whisked away from the fight. When my feet touch the ground I see that I'm back near my office. Then I see who took me away from John.

He was wearing silver coloured armour, with bolts on his boots and gloves. The armour was slim enough to give him complete freedom of movement. His aerodynamic style helmet also fit his powers as a speedster. He opened the visor of his helmet, revealing a young brown haired man.

"Driver?" She-Hulk asked.

"Please call me Jack or Warp whichever one you like," The man spoke without a single pause for breath. "Anyway saw you needed help and were in quite a heated debate with your ex husband sorry if I interrupted anything…"

"Jack please stop, slow down a little okay," She-Hulk sighed.

He's James Crowners Chauffer and a real fun guy. Of course he's a speedster and his fast life style is really fun. Did I mention he was incredibly fun? One time he took me to several clubs, I counted it as thirteen in a single night. Although I've always noticed he's sometimes awkward when he's with me. Especially when he drove James and me back to my place that one time. Actually he's awkward now, look at the way he shuffles his feet. Wait is he blushing too?

"Sorry about that James really tries to tell me to cut it out, I'm sorry I dragged you away from the fight, if you want I can take you back," Jack said.

"Sure, take me back to fight that psycho Cade Hunter," She-Hulk sighed.

Jack's normally warm and friendly expression dropped as he looked at She-Hulk.

"Cade Hunter isn't crazy he's right about the system and how its not always fair…look Miss Walters I can understand that as a lawyer you believe that people should have a second chance, but you've also got to know that there are people who go through the rehabilitation system and get out but haven't changed," Jack explained.

"Oh please, how many cases have you read about it?" She-Hulk asked playfully.

"I've been through the system!"

I put a hand to my mouth as I realise what I've forgotten. Jack's full name is Jack Sanders, my law firm once worked on a manslaughter case. Jack had been driving a car past the speed limit and he ended up hitting a kid. He went to prison and apparently came out a few years later and was employed by James Crowner.

"You're an Ex-con?" She-Hulk asked.

"Yes, I better than anyone can tell you how bad the system is and how right Cade is!"

"Your wrong Jack, your living proof that the system can work."

"That's only because I was raised well with morals, you and I are lucky in comparison to others," Jack said.

"Others?"

"People who don't have the opportunities we have, who didn't have the parents we had. I mean look at you're your practically the luckiest woman alive," Jack explained.

Jack blushed for a moment before looking up at the taller woman. He took a deep breath before he began a rant that shocked Jen.

"Your raised by a Sheriff and given everything you need: Clothes, food, shelter and education and later this gives you the opportunity to go to college and law school where you manage to successfully become a defence attorney then you survive a gunshot wound and with your cousin's blood you become the amazing She-Hulk, join the Avengers and Fantastic Four and even make your own team with the Lady Liberators…" Jack only paused to gather more air into his lungs. "All of this because you took advantage of the opportunities you had, you're a successful lawyer and a hero whose saved tons of lives as well as an activist for mutant rights and the rights of all criminals, even when those criminals don't deserve your help and to top it off you're the sexiest woman I've ever met, any man would be lucky to have you."

Jack paused, seeing how close he had gotten to Jen. He had his hands on her hips as a blush crept across his face. Immediately he pulled his visor over his face, hugging his arms.

"Very very very sorry Miss Walters I get too touchy when I'm poetic youcansuemeifyoulike…

She-Hulk suddenly ripped Jack's helmet clean off. Before he could even announce his shock, Jen gripped the sides of his head and pulled him into a deep kiss. He closed his eyes, clutching her waist as she hungrily kissed and bit at his lips. They then opened their eyes, looking at one another in shock.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Jack I shouldn't have done that, I've got a boyfriend," She-Hulk gasped.

"No I'm sorry, I was putting pressure on you," Jack said.

"But still I shouldn't have…ow," She-Hulk grit her teeth together as she felt a sharp pain in her arm.

"What's wrong Miss Walters?" Jack asked.

"Deathblade cut my arm earlier and I can still feel the pain."

"He must have infected you with his energy, but that's strange, his blades are strong but he once went up against the Hulk and he couldn't even scratch the big guy. Your just as strong as him right so…"

"Don't over analyse it Jack, I wasn't very angry at the time. And what do you mean put pressure on me? Do you think a guy can seduce me so easily?" She-Hulk playfully poked Jack's chest.

As soon as the words left Jen's mouth, laughter echoed in the streets. She-Hulk and Warp both turned towards the alleyway.

"Trust me bitch, I know a guy whose already seduced you!"

She-Hulk smirked as she got into a fighting stance. Standing right in front of her was one of her worst enemies. Titania was a super strong villain with an obsession with killing She-Hulk. Now she stood with the biggest smile on her face. For a moment She-Hulk thought of what Titania said before she let the rage take over.

Next Chapter 3: Brawl
