บท 23: Half-Hulk

As soon as Tony heard Hill's message, he pressed a button on his clock. And started running to the elevator.

Before entering he said, "Hill tell Romanoff the mission 'the green boy' is on and she should get him to the Helicarrier".

Seeing him gone, I transformed into a raven and used the cave exit. Leaving Maria all alone.

Since Natasha will probably use the Quinjet, I flew there.

Why am I chasing after the Hulk? Because Hulk is a very strong character but only if he is under control. Thus, the sooner we get an intelligent Hulk, the less problems this world will have.

And why now and not before? It was only because of Shield that everyone let him be.

After fifteen minutes, she arrived at the hangar, accompanied by six other agents. As she entered the Quinjet, she was a bit surprised to see me, but not for long.

"I remember that you wanted to meet the green guy. Can you handle him?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. I can probably do more than simply handle him."

She looks back at the agents and sends them away.

"Will Maria Hill allow you to take a civilian with you?"

"Maria Hill has other business at the moment than dealing with civilians ... I also can't waste too much time on this mission.

She probably worries about Barton and wants to help him as soon as possible.

"Is it about Barton? Don't worry he will be fine I can promise you that"

"How can you be so sure? Do you follow him already?"

"No but I know that Loki needs strong allies and Hawkeye is a top agent with a lot of knowledge. So sooner or later we will find him or he us."

Nodding, she sits in the pilot seat and starts the jet.

With a normal plane I should be around seventeen hours from Washington to Kolkata in India. With the Quinjet we only need around ten hours. It's enough to take a nap and eat something.

Man, it's really boring to travel with spies if they don't trust you.

After a few hours of flight that was filled with silence and some small talk, I became hungry. So I summoned a raven and let him vomit out the food I made today. Natasha looked only with disgust at this scene.

When the raven was done, I asked her if she wanted some warm scrambled eggs, but she declined.

So I ate it on my own.

After this the flight continued peacefully until we arrived in Kolkata. The city was a war zone ... we only saw the Hulk jump around the city followed by what looked like another hulk-like species ... Abomination.

"If the Abomination is here that means that Ross is here too. I will deal with the two green guys, while you go to General Ross to make him back off."

After saying this to her I opened the entrance ramp and jumped out.

Transforming into a raven I followed them. Their CGI battle continued on a street where they hit the shit out of each other.

To stop them from destroying the city I summon a big swarm of ravens and engulf Hulk with them.

He started attacking my ravens since he couldn't see anything else. My ravens then took him out of the city.

I transform back and activate my Sharingan to 'talk' with this green gray something called Abomination.

"Birdie you should probably run away before I crush you.

"Birdie? That's a cute nickname but how will you do it without arms?"

Blonsky looked down on himself only to see that both his arms were missing. He roared at me but I had no time for him so I deleted his face and feet from his mind.

He then fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes and gasped for breath.

Blonsky is different from Bruce since, he does not have an alter ego like Bruce has with the Hulk. Abomination was more like a nickname.

After I was finished with him, I used my lightning armor and chased after Hulk. He was still trying to kill my ravens not far from the city."

I land next to him and dispel the ravens that surround him.

Like that of Blonsky his chakra is dark green with white elements in it. But Hulk's chakra is much wilder and out of control.

When he saw me, he started to dash towards me.

I tried Genjutsu on him the same way I did with Blonsky, but it didn't work. He has two different chakra / energies at the moment, so it always causes my Genjutsu to break.

The only option left was to beat him in submission and if the Hulk was down, use Genjutsu again on Bruce.

Thanks to my Sharingan, I was able to easily dodge every of Hulk's fists and feet.

I focused my chakra into my fists and feet and after evading his attacks I simply countered with a hit of my own.

After five minutes of pure beatdown I jumped on his shoulders and placed my hand on his head. Then I shocked him with a high dose of my Raiton chakra bringing him to the ground.

Hulk transformed back and now there was only a naked Bruce ... I shocked him to wake him up and immediately jumped into his mindspace with him.

Standing in the green world, Bruce looked around and then spotted me.

"Where are we and who are you?"

"My name is David Blake and we are here in your mindspace."

He grabs his head with both hands and walks around.

"But why is it so green here?" he asked in confusion.

"It's your world. You'll have to ask yourself that."

"And what do we do now? What do you want from me?"

"You need to make peace with your green friend there." I pointed behind him and there was Hulk sleeping on the ground.

"Make peace? He destroyed my life. He is an illness that I will never get rid of."

I sighed at this. At the beginning, I wanted to break the wall separating them and force them to merge. However, if Bruce cannot accept Hulk as part of himself, it will lead to disaster.

Also I don't know if I can enter his mindspace if the merge is completed.

"Then plan B."

By snapping my fingers, I placed prison cuffs on Hulk's arms, feet, and throat, which were fixed to the ground, and then placed a cage around him.

In addition, the world in front of the cage becomes white, while the part Hulk is in gets green.

I used the wall that Bruce built himself to simply visualize it and make it seem like the Hulk is imprisoned. As long as Bruce believes the Hulk is imprisoned, the Hulk will think the same. In theory that is ...

"What did you do? It feels like the Hulk is gone!"

"As you can see, I have imprisoned him. And as long as you keep him in this state he will never take control over you but you also can't access his full power."

"Ha! Why would anyone want to accept his power in the first place?"

"Who knows maybe someday you will be in a situation where you need him. But if this day comes and you open this cage there will be no coming back. There will be no Hulk or Bruce. There will only be only one being." I replied while shrugging my shoulders.

When I felt that Natasha was approaching I deactivated the Genjutsu and brought us back into reality. Before me was not Bruce or Hulk but something in between green and taller than Bruce, however also more muscular but much smaller than Hulk.

Something like a half-Hulk.

But he was still butt-naked ...

He looked at himself and exhaled loudly to calm down and transformed completely back into Bruce and I could finally give him one of my pants to wear.
