The AIM flew through the sky heading to the location of the AIM base. Jenn had the headpiece of her AIM outfit off and was carefully folding up her normal costume and putting it in a carry on bag. Jenn then glanced at a blank computer screen and saw her reflection. It had been quit some time since she last saw her reflection. Van and Diana watched her.
"Up...Jenn is it ok if we ask how you got your powers?" Asked Diana.
"Yeah it's ok. You see before I gained my powers, I was just a regular person and I was a criminal lawyer. My life was ordinary, until one day I got a visit from my cousin, who happened to be the Hulk." Said Jenn.
"Hulk is your cousin?" Asked Van.
"He is and at the time he had the ability to change from his green self into a regular human. Hulk was constantly being hounded by the military back in the day and he needed a place, where he could lay low for a while, so he came to see me. Hulk told me about what had been going on and I was amazed by his story. It was then fate took a different turn for me. A couple of criminals, who I was helping build a case against launched a surprised attack on us and I was badly injured and was losing blood. The crooks ran off and my life was in danger. Hulk gave me a emergency blood transfusion and managed to save my life, before he called 9111 and I was taken to a hospital. As I was recovering the crooks that attacked me earlier tried to finish me off in the hospital. It was there that I transformed for the first time and I managed to beat and capture the criminals, before I handed them over to the police. I also learned that I could transform from by regular human form and back into my hulk like form. I decided to use my powers for the better good and I named myself She-Hulk." Said Jenn.
Van and Diana starred at Jenn in awe. Finally Van decided to speak.
"That's a great origin story. Now I feel like telling mine. I grew up on an advanced planet called Krypton. It was much like Earth in many ways, but unfortunately my people had been using the planet's core as an energy source for several thousand years, which started to make the planet unstable. My parents realized what was happening, they knew that Krypton was doomed. My mother and father built a powerful ship, but it only had room for one. They built the ship for me and planned to send me to Earth. I was placed in the ship and it took off and I eventually made it here, where SHIELD found me and I eventually became a part of this team."
"We're your people strong like you?" Asked Diana.
"No exactly. You see Krypton had a red sun and on Krypton everyone was about as strong as the average human on Earth. Earth's sun has a different affect on me then Krypton's sun. The sun here makes me strong and powerful." Explained Van.
"I see." Said Jenn.
"Well I guess I'll tell you my origin. I come from a place called Paradise Island, it's home to the Amazons. Only women live on the island and we have a strict warrior code and routine. On some occasions we were allowed to visit Greece and see a little of the world. It was there that I heard about Hercules's exploits and about all the heroes who fought alongside with. I became fascinated by his tales and I wanted to meet these other heroes he spoke of and see more of the world. I asked my mother repeatedly to allow me to go out and see the world and learn about. My mother eventually conceded and after speaking with Hercules she learned about Jenn and figured she would be a worthy teacher and guardian for me during my time in the outside world." Said Diana.
"Well I'm honored she chose me and I'm happy to have you." Said Jenn with a smile.
Diana and Van smiled back as the ship continued on it's way getting closer and closer to the AIM base and their captured friends.
To be continued.
