Some shitty bar off the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two men were sitting at a small table by the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was in a sharp suit, sporting a short beard, with a sleazy, playboy look in his eyes. The other was in a military uniform, gray hair, just one look at his face and you knew he was a cold, calculating, ruthless son of a bitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, I'm telling you again,\" The suited-up Tony Stark said, his expression serious. \"My father shut down the Super Soldier program for a goddamn reason. The tech is fundamentally flawed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Lieutenant General Ross sipped his whiskey. \"You say it's flawed, but you're forgetting Captain America was the first, and best, goddamn superhero in history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony looked pissed and snorted. \"Captain America was a one-in-a-billion fluke. Not everyone's going to get that lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross just smiled, his expression mocking. \"Fine. Let's say I listen to you. We scrap the program. Then what? Who takes out Jason? Who takes out his fucking organization? You? In that tin suit of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony's face twitched, his eyes flashing with anger. \"The program is a goddamn crapshoot. My suit is way more reliable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ross just gave a noncommittal little laugh and drained his glass. \"Whatever, Stark. You've got your projects, I've got mine. Let's not waste any more of each other's time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony shrugged. \"I'm just here as Fury's mouthpiece. I don't really give a shit what you do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He couldn't convince me, and neither can you.\" Ross stood to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony frowned. \"One and done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross was already walking. \"I've got a genius in the lab who wants to be his own guinea pig. I need to be there to watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. A fucking bunch of lunatics,\" Tony scoffed. He raised his own glass, sniffed it, and put it back down, untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A secret military lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A team of geniuses, all on the military's payroll, was scrambling to check the equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ten minutes, the secret experiment—one so secret even the scientists didn't know its real purpose—was about to have its first human trial. The test subject? The team's head brain, a top-tier physicist with seven goddamn PhDs: Bruce Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner stood supervising the checks, his girlfriend, Betty Ross—who also happened to be General Ross's daughter—at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bruce, are you nervous?\" Betty asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner just looked at her and smiled, completely relaxed. He didn't have to say a word; his confidence was practically radiating off him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door hissed open, and Ross walked in, his face slightly flushed from the alcohol. \"Geniuses. Are we ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General,\" Banner nodded. He looked around at the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Check!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OK!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're green!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All systems checked. Banner turned back. \"We're ready, General.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross clapped his future son-in-law on the shoulder. \"Bruce. All these years... it all comes down to this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner gave a serious nod, walked into the test chamber, and lay down on the gamma emitter. Assistants strapped him down, powered on the console, and got the hell out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monitors were green. Through the observation window, Banner nodded at Betty. She gave him a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's do it,\" She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click. The assistant hit the switch. The emitter hummed to life, bathing Banner in a green, gamma-ray light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross moved to his daughter's side, his eyes locked on Banner. His entire goddamn career... it was all riding on this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten seconds in, a red light flashed on the console.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing alarm shrieked through the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit, shut it down! Now!\" Betty's face went pale. She ran to the console.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another fucking failure. Ross looked down, his face a mask of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emitter exploded, a flash of fire and black smoke. In that one instant, a massive, ungodly dose of gamma radiation—way beyond the test limits—blasted Banner's entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHHH!! AHHHH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner's eyes screwed shut, his face twisting in pure agony as his whole body convulsed against the straps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"BRUCE! What's happening?!\" Betty slammed her hands on the glass, her face frantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross yanked her back. \"Betty, get away from the glass! The radiation!\" He knew this wasn't just a failure. This was a fucking disaster. A dose like that... Banner was a dead man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, impossibly, Banner wasn't dead. He was thrashing, harder and harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green veins bulged across his skin, and his whole body... his skin was turning green. And he was growing. Fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god!\" The other scientists fucking bolted, scrambling out of the room in terror. Only Ross and Betty stayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betty was horrified, her face a mask of grief and worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ross... Ross was calm. His mind was working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner kept expanding. The emitter buckled and crushed under his massive weight, and he slammed onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he stood up, a teen-foot-tall, thousand-pound, roid-raging green monster was standing where Banner had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HULK!!!\" The monster roared, baring its teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross and Betty were just... frozen. Scared fucking shitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hulk took their silence as a challenge. He grabbed a piece of the wrecked emitter and hurled it at the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASH! The glass exploded. Betty wasn't fast enough. The shrapnel and debris clipped her, knocking her to the floor, out cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!!\" The Hulk beat his chest, then smashed his way out of the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Metal doors, concrete walls... it didn't fucking matter. He tore through them like they were wet cardboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guards burst in, opening fire with their sidearms. Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulk had been heading for Ross, but these... bugs... were annoying him. He backhanded Ross, sending him flying, and stalked toward the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard just... looked up... at this thing... and fucking froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!!\" Hulk roared and punched down. The guard was instantly reduced to a red smear on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done with the bugs, Hulk smashed his way out of the lab, heading for the exit. His speed, his power... nothing could stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullets from the other guards just bounced off his green hide like spitballs. It didn't hurt him. It just pissed him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even bother with the door. He just blew right through the goddamn outer wall of the building, crashing to the ground outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crouched, his legs coiled, and then leaped... clearing the base's perimeter fence in a single bound, vanishing into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross lay on the floor, clutching his dislocated arm. But his eyes... his eyes were fucking gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read advance chapters and view R-18 images of the characters on pat reon page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pat reon.com\u002FGreenBlue17\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>500 power stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top 50.
