-Ocean-


Hulk transforms back into Bruce Banner, shrinking down to normal and upon getting his bearings, heads down to the cargo hold to pour a cup of wine. He sat down at the desk and looked at a map of the ocean.

"Aahh, this would be so much easier if I had a 3-D map of the ocean." Bruce groaned. Suddenly, he heard a clatter further in the cargo hold. He lifted a lantern that hung on a nail embedded in the wall and searched the area, eventually finding Diana, who was wearing a fuzzy black coat over her usual Amazonian attire.

"Bruce."

"Ahhh! Diana?! What...the hell are you doing here?!"

"I couldn't let my mother keep us apart. I care about you, and both you and the Hulk care about me too." Diana said. Diana clearly planned to get caught by Bruce.

"You ran away from home! You realize that your mother will murder me when she finds out?" Bruce said almost hyperactively, like a child who had more sugar than necessary. He was actually scared for his life, even though the Hulk would prevent death from ever claiming him.

"She probably already knows." Diana said, cringing.

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Why are you taking this so badly?" Diana asks.

"Your mother already hates me, Diana! Leaving your home will only increase her hatred of me!" Bruce yelled. Diana responded by raising her eyebrow, cocking her head to the side, and smiling.

"And?" Diana asked, clearly finding enjoyment in Bruce freaking out over seemingly nothing.

"You're teasing me, aren't you?"

"Indeed I am."

"It's pointless to argue with you, isn't it?" He asked.

"Definitely."

"Fine." Bruce said in defeat. "Anyway, are you hungry?"

"No, Bruce. I'm fine." Diana said as she rested her knuckles on her waist.

"Well, aside from the possibility of your mother flaying me alive, I'm really glad you're here, Diana." Bruce said. Diana smiled, glad to hear that Bruce actually missed her.

"Thank you. I'm sure the Hulk is equally happy that I'm here as well."

-Later-

As Diana and Bruce slept, Bruce jolted awake, noticing a town, but it was showing signs of battle. Smoke billowing from destroyed buildings, dead bodies and shattered glass littered along the streets, and several bullet casings that fit into guns used by German troops. Bruce and Diana ported their boat and wandered through an alley that was unaffected by whatever occurred when two German troopers saw them from a watchtower.

("Base, this is Tower-1. A man and a woman just walked into an alley. We are pursuing. Over and out.") One of the Germans said before they both exited the tower and followed Bruce and Diana. Halfway through the alley, they blocked the exit way of the alley, one carrying a bolt action rifle while the other carried a pump action shotgun.

"Crap!" Bruce exclaimed as he stopped in place. "We're in trouble."

("Whoever you are, get on the ground! Now!") The Germans yelled at the duo before cocking their weapons and aiming them at the two. Diana got into a defensive pose while Bruce's eyes started to turn green. Before the duo could fight, gunshots were heard as the two Germans let out a yelp of pain before falling to the ground, dead.

"What the...?"

"What happened?" Diana asked, confused why the Germans suddenly dropped dead.

"What happened was that we saved your lives." A voice shouted out. The duo spun around and saw a pair of soldiers carrying sniper rifles walking into the alley. "Germans. These disease carrying trash target anyone they find wandering around. You're lucky we spotted them, otherwise you'd be dead...or worse. I'm Alec, and this is my brother Duke."

"Bruce Banner. This is my...friend, Diana." Bruce said, somewhat unsure of the status of his relationship with Diana. She hid a smirk, amused by Bruce's nervous mannerisms.

"Nice to meet you. Hey, you should come back to our camp. We could use the help. Plus, you two look like you could use some sleep." Alex offered. After 30 seconds, Diana and Bruce agreed.


-Camp-

Diana and Bruce walked through an abandoned factory that was emptied out and mostly filled with drums full of bullets, grenades and other armaments of war as well as beds for people.

"What is this place?" Diana asked as she, Bruce, Duke and Alec walked through the building.

"This place, ma'am, is an abandoned munitions factory. When the Germans started their attack, most of the civilians took shelter in here and barricaded all but one way out, hoping to wait out the Germans. But...they were clever. They dropped bombs down on this place. Most of the people died as soon as the bombs went off while others hid in rooms with large, sliding doors. They locked themselves in until the Germans concentrated their attention on the center of town. They called for help, and three hours later, the Allied forces showed up, including me and my brother. We took the fight to them, but even against 600 men, the Germans mowed us down like grass. Now is just over 700 people, plus the two of us. Nowadays, we just...sit here like rocks, waiting for a miracle." Alec said, recounting the horrible events that transpired before Bruce and Diana arrived.

"Alec...that truly is a horrible thing. War is meaningless, and it is pointless for the Germans to take so many innocent lives. I am truly sorry for what you have experienced." Diana said as she rested her soft, nimble hand on Alec's shoulder.

"Thank you, Diana. That means a lot to me." Alec says as he looks at Diana, mesmerized by her beauty.

"We can help you take down the Germans." Diana said as Alec looked at the beautiful goddess in disbelief.

"Um, Diana, no offense, but I don't think a beautiful woman and a man with glasses can take down over 900 German troops."

"You'd be surprised by what we're capable of accomplishing, Alec." Bruce said.

"Oh, really? Show us, then. Show us what you can do."

Diana and Bruce smirked before revealing their respective abilities, with Diana shedding her furry coat to reveal her superhero outfit, which consisted of her silver bracelets, her armor, her bikini and her boots. She then looked at Bruce, who nodded before turning into Hulk. Needless to say, they were more impressed by Hulk than Diana.

"Wow..." Duke said as he stared at the duo, amazed by what they can do.

"Now we can fight back. With you two on our side, we can take out the Germans and liberate this town!

"What do you say, Hulk? Ready to smash some more Germans?" Diana asked Hulk, who looked down at her and smiled.

"Oh, yeah."

"Great! Now let's arm ourselves and take those filthy murderers down once and for all!" Alec commanded as the Allied soldiers armed themselves with shotguns, sniper rifles, SMG's, and some MG-42's that they managed to steal from the Germans.

Soon, they were underway. Diana led the troops alongside Alec and Duke, while Hulk walked behind them, among the troops.

"You know, Diana...you're a very beautiful woman." Alec casually said.

"I appreciate the compliment, but the flirting can wait after we fight the army of murderers." Diana said, clearly not caring for Alec's opinion of her.

"I know that. Diana... I'm just trying to calm you down. War is a very messy thing, and it can make people uneasy."

"I've been to war countless times, Alec. This isn't the first time I've fought against Germans either." Diana said.

Suddenly, multiple explosions went off. The Germans saw them, and immediately fired mortars and MG-42's, killing many troops, both civilian and Allied soldiers alike. Hulk leapt into action, swatting many German troops aside with his punches, knocking them through walls and destroyed vehicles. Diana cut down more Germans with her sword, blood splattering along the sharp blade.

"Diana!" Hulk yelled out, as a German APC fired a tank shell at her. While she managed to block it with her shield, the impact sent her flying into a building, crashing through the wall. Enraged, Hulk rammed into the assault vehicle like a crazed bull, lifted it over his head, and flung it at a watchtower, one in which a German MG-42 was positioned.

The Allied forces cheered as a minimal number of Germans retreated. Diana recovered from her encounter with the APC, noticing two Germans retreating into an alley. She followed them and the Germans were trapped, as a tall wall blocked their exit. They turned around in fear as Diana approached, a smile gleaming her flawless face as her blood soaked sword hung down at her side.

"May Hades have mercy on your tainted souls." Diana said. Before she could kill them, a large man snuck up on her and covered her mouth with a cloth soaked with a tranquilizing agent. She went limp as the other two lifted her into a truck and stealthily drove away without Hulk or the Allied troops noticing.

("We have one of those...whatever they are.") One of the Germans said.

("What do we do next?") Another asked.

("We torture her until she tells us about that monster. Even if she dies during it, she will talk.") The first German said, laughing evilly as they drive toward a fortified castle.


-Author's Note-

Sorry for the lack of Hulk in this chapter. Next chapter will focus on him more.

Oh, no! Diana has been captured! What will the Germans do to her to get information on Hulk? Well, let me know what tortures you want the Germans to do to her and I'll see what I can do. The tortures can range from electrocution, beatings, strangulation, ice baths, cutting, acid, and tickle torture just to name a few.

I feel tickle torture would be the most appropriate torture, given how much skin is exposed by her costume. Plus, I think I read somewhere about German soldiers torturing a prisoner by tickling his feet.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter and stay tuned for more action, drama and possibly romance!

Also, if you want, let me know if you want Diana to end up with Bruce or Hulk.
