The Hulk!?
Seven shadows move quickly through the shadows. Robin jumps from a ledge and lands with Kid Flash right next to him. A shimmering form hovers and watches the cultist and agents pick up crates. Aqualad remains behind cover as Starfire and Superboy remain out of sight.
"Genisys are you seeing this?" Asks Robin through the com link.
"Affirmative, seems Kobra has a buyer." Says Genisys as he moves quietly though the factory. He can see through the various tech in the building including the cameras.
"Doesn't seem like Kobra is selling to the usual suspects." Says Starfire getting a nod from Kid Flash.
"We need to identify that buyer." Says Kid Flash getting a nod from Robin.
"Agreed, stay out of sight and wait for the buyer." Orders Genisys as he moves on. As the teens move to better locations Genisys scans for Banner.
"Robin vanish and see what you can find, Kid Flash recon, Aqualad watch their six's, Miss M keep eyes on the run way, Superboy and Starfire stay out of sight and report anything you find suspicious." Orders Genisys getting affirmatives from the group.
Robin moves through the factory before spotting a room with a single man. He smiles before throwing a batarang that lands next to the man before gas comes out, knocking the man out. Kid Flash moves through the factory before spotting two HYDRA agents nearing Robin's location. His eyes harden and Genisys's words echo in his ears. He moves quickly as they enter the room. Robin hears weapons cocking making his eyes widen before the sound of snapping is heard followed by a muffled yell of pain. Looking back he sees Kid Flash holding the mouth of one man while the others is unconscious after having his head slammed into a wall. The man he is holding has a broken leg before he falls unconscious. Kid Flash gives a nod making Robin nod back.
"Genisys there seems to be a massive shipment." Says Aqualad through the com link.
"Yeah we see it too." Says Starfire.
"Yeah but they're only taking new product off the line." Says Superboy.
"Maybe freshness counts." Says Miss M with some hesitation. With Genisys, his eyes flash before he scans the sky through the ceiling.
"Team stay low we got a helicopter incoming." Says Genisys as the team moves into better positions. Genisys moves to the Gamma readings before he spots two agents. He throws two projectiles from his belts across his chest. One freezes the man while the other gases him. He scans the room and picks up six people. One is giving off gamma radiation.
"Team I've found Banner." Says Genisys as he scans the room.
"And we've found the new formula… Kobra and HYDRA are mixing Venom with the Block Buster formula." Says Robin getting wide eyes from the teens.
"That suggest our mystery buyer must be Kobra's and HYDRA's supplier." Says Miss M.
"Robin get a sample and fall back and Kid Flash cover him." Orders Genisys as he phases through the door and shocks one man into a wall before spinning and upper cutting another who slams into the wall making it dent. Then from his back comes a disk that rolls ender another before tasering the man unconscious. The guns the two agents are holding suddenly fall apart before they are hit with energy blast; from the guns on Genisys, that burn their skin and send they flying back. Genisys picks up static on the coms making him hack into Miss Martian's brain.
"Miss M link us up." Orders Genisys through her mind making her widen her eyes.
"W-what, oh right." Says Miss M before he eyes glow green.
"Everyone up?" Asks Miss M getting affirmatives from the group. Genisys shakes Banner who wakes and takes in his surroundings.
"V-Vaelk?" States Bruce making Genisys cover his mouth. He nods his head getting a relieved sigh from Bruce.
"They took me before I even knew what was happening." Says Bruce as Genisys moves with him.
"Team I've got Banner… Robin did you get that sample?" Asks Genisys through the telepathic link.
"Yeah I got it, KF and I are heading to the rendezvous." Says Robin as he and Kid Flash move.
"The buyer it's Sports Master." Says Starfire from above. Genisys narrows his eyes before breaking through the coms to pick up a signal from SHIELD.
"Fury the buyer is Sports Master and we were right; it seems HYDRA has allied with the cultist." Says Genisys through the computer network.
"I'm sending in some agents to help." Says Fury.
"I've got Banner, we'll meet you soon." Says Genisys before he hears gunfire. He scans the area and picks up Bane who fires at the cultist.
"Team engage hostiles." Orders Genisys as the team moves. Superboy flies down and tackles Mammoth as Starfire throws star bolts at the agents and cultist. Aqualad jumps down and knocks out two men before swinging around a slamming a water mace into the jaw of another. The man flips as he flies back before smashing into some crates. Kid Flash zooms around; taking the weapons from their hands while snapping legs and punching others. Robin throws his batarangs that explode sending men flying back before dodging a punch and breaking the arm. Genisys turns a corner before hitting two men with magic tech beams from his hands. He dodges a punch from his left before breaking the arm and hitting the man with and energy blast that sends him flying back. Turning he freezes another man before looking right and sending a man flying into a wall that dents.
Superboy is punched by Mammoth before he is picked up. Mammoth jumps before slamming Superboy down into the ground. Starfire dodges energy weapons before spinning and hitting them with her star bolts. She flies down and punches Mammoth with a right and left. Miss M dodges a lance from Sports Master only for it to explode and send her down. Robin breaks another arm before spinning and tripping a HYDRA agent before snapping his leg. Turning he is kicked back by Kobra he unloads on him before Kid Flash hits him from three directions. Genisys sends three men through a wall while Banner hides behind him.
"Keep calm Bruce." Says Genisys as he picks up rising stress from Bruce. He forms magic formations on his hands before shooting out arcing bolts of tech magic; slamming into several men who yell in pain before flying back. Turning quickly he contains and energy blast in his hands before throwing it back sending a group of cultist and agents flying in all directions. From his left hand he sends a cyclone of air that chokes another group that fall unconscious.
"I'm all right." Says Bruce as he ducks and hides behind Genisys. Kid Flash is attacked by Shimmer who spins and kicks the teen back. Kobra engages Robin who is outmatched before Robin jumps back and launches several batarangs. Miss M flies up and slams men into each other before drop kicking another. Superboy slams into the ground with a grunt with Mammoth over him. He is saved by Starfire who unloads on the beast only to be head butted and thrown away. Genisys comes out of the factory and shoots out concussion-propulsion magic beams from his hands that are covered in fiery magic formations. Kobra looks to Genisys and growls before turning to Sports Master.
"Take the shipment!" Says Kobra as Sports Master nods and runs off. Genisys locks onto him before launching a missile from his arm and destroying the helicopter. Aqualad summons water that freezes several men before forming a shield to block an energy rifle blast. Genisys scans more hostiles arriving before he summons a tornado that picks them all up and tosses them around. Sports Master glares at him before looking to Banner and smiling. He takes another spear and throws it at the scared man. Bruce barely dodges the spear but it explodes sending Bruce tumbling. Genisys's eyes flash before he gathers collapses the tornado into itself before it explodes sending those trapped flying. Aqualad helps KF with a water whip giving KF the moment to upper cut Shimmer.
"Miss M help Robin." Orders Genisys as he dodges a punch before shocking the man and turning to send a man flying into the factory. He blocks three men who engage him. He skillfully blocks their attacks before spinning and spin kicking one man who flies back with a twist. Using his magic boots; Genisys hops through the air before slugging a man from behind. Turning quickly he launches the last man with a sound wave. However his scanner pick up higher levels of Gamma radiation making him turn to see Bruce transforming.
Robin ducks under a kick before jumping and spin kicking Kobra who grunts before countering. He is stopped though as Miss M picks him and tosses him away. Kobra hits the ground before rolling and recovering only to see a batarang right in front of him. He is sent flying back as the batarang explodes. Sports Master enters another helicopter making Genisys aim.
Before he can fire he is grabbed by a large green hand. The Hulk roars before throwing a punch. The team stands together as the agents and cultist surrounding them before several arrows hit several men before exploding in various forms. From the sky comes several crafts the open to show SHIELD agents. Soon the forces are fighting with the team minus Genisys.
Superboy and Starfire unload on Mammoth who becomes unsteady before Superboy upper cuts him. Suddenly from the factory comes a load roar making the team pause.
"That doesn't sound good." Says Kid Flash. Sounds of fighting are heard from the factory before explosions occur. Hawkeye lands in front of the teens while pointing an arrow at the factory.
"Time for you guys to go." Says Barton with narrowed eyes at the factory. Looking to their left they see several agents approaching before they are hit with a shield and attacked by Captain America. The man flips while taking the agents down before throwing his shield that knocks out two more men before returning to him.
"You guys leave the area now!" Shouts Captain America making the team look at each other.
"We're not leaving without Genisys." Says Starfire before more roars are heard and spells are cast.
"This is a SHIELD matter now, your job is done." Says a voice making the teens turn to see Nick Fury. Suddenly the factory roof explodes and they all see Genisys flying in the air before launching energy missiles at the factory.
"Everyone get down!" Shouts Captain America before putting his shield up in front of the group. The factory explodes, sending a massive shockwave that is blocked by the shield. A roars is heard before the Hulk jumps at Genisys who tackles him back down into the factory.
He crashes the Hulk into the ground before unloading on him. The Hulk growls and roars before grabbing Genisys by the neck and head.

"Kids right Cap," says Hawkeye as he dodges a blast before launching an arrow, "we need some more help." Suddenly a large foot slams on the ground making the teens look up.
"You called?" Smiles the giant making Hawkeye scoff. Suddenly a small light attacks the cultist and soldier before growing to the size of a woman.
"Hey I'm Wasp." Smiles the woman before gesturing to the giant.
"That's Giant Man." Says Wasp with a smile before shrinking and attacking.
Suddenly from the factory comes Genisys who tumbles across the ground. A roar is heard as Hulk lands in front of him. Genisys forms a force field around himself as the Hulk smashes his hands against it. Suddenly Hulk is hit by a shield before being tripped. He roars and spots Captain America who charges at him.

"It seem whatever we do only makes it stronger." Says Aqualad as Genisys steps up. Superboy slams into Hulk making the both go underground. Genisys scans the ground and sees the fight before Superboy is launched back up.
"Everyone get ready." Says Genisys as the wind picks up. Hulk roars as he surfaces before lightning strikes his form. Hulk roars in pain before an Axe-Hammer slams down on him from above; creating a massive explosion.
"I shall not alloweth thee to harmeth those folk monster!" Says Thor as his hammer floats to him.
"Wow who's that?" Asks Miss M making Genisys look to the new comer.
"Aw t is valorous to see thee again mine friend." Says Thor as he lifts Genisys in a hug. Genisys does nothing but look at the smoldering crater.
"Thor, statistics show the Hulk will not fall to that attack." Says Genisys as Thor sets him down.
"Tis true, the monster is truly a formidable foe." Says Thor as the Hulk roars. Hulk attacks making the heroes counter. Robin jumps and lands on his face before Captain America attacks the legs, tripping the Hulk. Thor attacks again with his hammer while Aqualad attacks from the left.

Giant-Man stands and punches down on Hulk who roars. Hulk dodges a punch only for several trucks to slam into him. Miss Martian's eyes glow before Hulk gets free.
"Let's end this." Says Genisys as he moves his arms around, creating a large fiery magic formation twice the size of himself. A beam is fired from the formation and hits the Hulk who roars in pain. Turning the Hulk walks towards Genisys with the beam still going. The beam grows more powerful; creating a trench in the ground but still the Hulk walks. The Hulk roars as the beam continues for what seems like forever.
"Attack!" Shouts Captain America as the group all unleash their attacks. Hulk roars as the attacks hit and Genisys makes the beam stronger. The beam dies down and Hulk pants before walking up to Genisys who remains calm before Hulk falls to the floor and goes to sleep. The team all stand by Genisys as the Hulk shrinks and turns into Banner. Several SHIELD agents walk up and pick up Banner.
"Where are they taking him?" Asks Miss M.
"Somewhere safe, where he can live in peace and stay calm." Says Genisys as Captain America and his team step up.
"Ah the joy of victory, come we must feast!" Says Thor with a smile.
"Sorry Thor we still got work to do." Says Captain America. He then looks to the teens.
"You guys did well, maybe one day we can all work together." Says Captain America before nodding to Genisys who nods back. SHIELD leaves the team before they enter the bio ship.
Mount Justice
The team all stand around as Batman is up front with narrowed eyes. Miss M had told the team of Genisys speaking telepathically and the team is not that surprised. Though there is still a great many things they do not know about Genisys, they trust him. Genisys right now is ignoring the lecture as he accesses all the cameras in the world. He sees his Iron Legion stopping crimes before switching to another camera. He sees Bruce Banner and Betty Ross in a garden with Bruce trimming flowers. Batman continues to berate the Team for their many failures on the mission.
"A simple recon mission; observe and report," says Batman getting into the face of Genisys who notices but does not really care, "You'll each receive a written evaluation detailing your many mistakes."
"Until then, good job." Says Batman surprising the Team. As the Team leaves Genisys looks to Batman who stays with him.
"As I had suspected HYDRA as allied with the cultist but there was another buyer; Sports Master." Says Genisys making Batman narrow his eyes. Superman and the other original six step up to Genisys.
"What's the connection?" Asks Green Lantern.
"Unknown but," says Genisys as he pulls up footage from all over the world, "these are only the recent villain activities." Black Canary and Green Arrow step up and listen.
"These are global!?" Asks Flash in shock. Genisys nods as the league looks on. They see drones fighting the villains.
"This goes bigger than HYDRA… the enemy is just like us." Says Genisys.
"You are suggesting that HYDRA has teamed up with some sort of society of supervillains." Says Martian Man-Hunter.
"Correct, if that is the case then alone you will lose." States Genisys with a matter of fact tone.
"Why?" Asks Flash.
"Because we don't have the numbers nor the backing to win." Says Batman. The league talk for minutes.
"You should meet with SHIELD they will help you but know this the moment you ally with SHIELD you will no longer be able to do what you want." Says Genisys.
"In your own town's fine but in order for this to work the people must see you as members of SHIELD not cowboys." Says Genisys as he walks away before digitizing. The league members look at each other and debate.
"SHIELD is dedicated to protecting the world and have no ties to any government." Reasons Green Lantern.
"Agreed, I've looked into SHIELD and they've only intervened if the threat is to the world." Says Batman.
"However… they do have plans to neutralize the league if we ever become a threat." Says Batman. Superman thinks about the decision.
"Why, we help people." Says Flash making Batman look at him.
"The league has the most powerful people in the world and if we ever decide to go rogue… who can stop us?" Asks Batman getting looks from the others.
"Batman is right… J'onn set up a meeting with SHIELD." Says Superman.
Phew taking a break from this to work on other stories and start a new one.
