[hulk]

The Hulk was keeping his hands steady and his punches resembled the likes of Rocky Balboa, but not even that lasted for more than a few minutes. Before his emerald hues, Hulk noticed a streak run and jump towards him with lightning speed and used its claws to slash the car halves into pieces. It was rather annoying when others interfered with his battles but The Hulk figured the more that got in his way, the more he was going to crush.

Suddenly, two red laser beams smashed into his chest and knocked him back a little. This stunned him for a moment and he playfully tried to catch the red beams as if they were there to grasp. His childlike mind didn't leave much to be acknowledged but it did mean that somewhere, he was just wanting to be left alone to himself. The destructive nature of Hulk wasn't because he wanted to wreak havoc, it's because people like those who continue to attack him annoy him to no end.

He locked eyes with the acrobatic wolf and narrowed his eyes, darting the emerald hues up towards Mach V almost immediately. He wasn't sure what to do other than smash, bash and make mince meat of these guys. The Hulk wasn't someone to be tampered with.

The jade giant stood in a hunched over position and flexed his arms, releasing yet another thunderous roar. He took the bus Juggernaut had moved off of and lifted, pressing it, the thing onto his shoulders. He growled, obviously working it up and he tossed it at both Mach V and this wolf character. If anything, the bug would knock it back without seeing the wolf and smack the bus right into him. But as a safety measure, The Hulk wasn't finished.

"Leave... Hulk... ALONE!!" the giant shouted as he slowly threw out both massively muscular arms. With a thunderous "bang", The Hulk did his infamous thunder clap and the impact was directed towards the newest addition to the battle: Silent Wolf.

[Silent Wolf]

Silent Wolf jumped at the bus, and pierced it with his claws before it could strike an armored man he only now noticed. He brought the bus back down to the street, and then jumped over it only to see Hulk clapping his hands with great force.
Kyoudai had heard of The Hulk's 'thunder clap', and knew just what to do. He quickly inhaled deeply, and then exhaled as he released an attack similar to and just as power as Hulk's thunder clap, which was called 'Howl'.

[The Juggernaut, Bitch]

For a brief moment that small area was a chorus of chaos as both Hulk and the Wolf guy unleashed both of their massive sound attacks. Cain had managed to get in behind Hulk, just a few meters away, and was spared the brunt of the howl like sound that bashed him. Thank god for this helmet.

As the block went still, Cain seized the moment of calm and leaped onto the Hulk's broad back. By this time he had grown to such a size that Cain look somewhat childish hanging onto Banner's neck. Before he had jumped, Cain realized he had no chance in choking off the Green beast's windpipe. So as he rapped his arms around the tree-trunk neck he dug into the skin and gripped the two jugular veins, one on either side of Hulk's neck.

"Give it up Bruce!"

[Mach V]

'Well now. . . this is just getting ridiculous. What the hell is that?'

Abe watched the wolf-creature shred the twisted lumps of steel in the Hulk's over sized hands, taking care to dodge the bulk of the bus as it came hurtling towards him and the wolf-thing.

To Abe the white furred beast looked a little like the werewolves of horror movies. He supposed he'd heard of - and seen - stranger things before, but he wasn't entirely sure whether or not he should be shooting at it, or why it was even here, seemingly fighting the Hulk with him and Cain.

This was going to make a great news story for some news agency somewhere.
Abe smiled to himself as he used his suit's visual imaging systems to capture some stills of the unfolding battle. He could probably sell them to the bugle or something. . .
Spidey was well known for being just as much of a sell out, and everybody loved him. Little bastard.

In the midst of the chaos, Abe was surprised to find out that for some reason, he still hated the web-slinger. Probably something to do with their fabulous little history.
Abe had changed though, hadn't he? 'Yeah' Abe though to himself as he charged up his blasters to 100% and let loose a torrent of fire in the Hulk's direction, taking care to avoid hitting Cain.
He watched as sparks erupted across the green brute's skin, and silently loaded two high-yield warheads into his gauntlet.

[hulk]

The Hulk witnessed this wolf creature dodge both the bus and this thunder clap, which he childishly felt was odd. However, he heard the wolf "howl" and it was a sound-based attack which hurt Hulk's ears. It caused him to hold his head and stagger... Right into Juggernaut. Suddenly, he felt "domehead" leap onto his back and grip his flesh, going for the jugular veins.

The Hulk growled, yelled in pain, as the blood come pouring down from his neck. He fell to his knees and the people of the surrounding battle watched as The Hulk was down; he seemed down, anyway. Suddenly, The Hulk summoned his strength and power, and he used both massive hands and gripped Juggernaut's wrists. With great power and strength The Hulk eventually pulled them off from around his jugular, turned, and stared at Juggernaut.

The emerald beast rubbed down his wrists and gave a low, deep growl in anger. His healing factor began working and he narrowed his eyes at "domehead" briefly. Then, he started to slam his fists into the Juggernaut's helmet which undoubtedly was enough force to K.O. a whale. He seen as two of the various number of latches on his helmet were unlocked. He then felt a sudden burst of fire beat down on his back, then his chest once he turned around.

The sparks flew and hit Hulk's face as well in which he put up his hands to guard it. But as he lowered his guard, he realized the bug was preparing something else and before he would be able to, a thunder clap was headed his way. The Hulk stared the wolf down evilly as he turned his attention back to the unknowing bug and he threw both arms out. With great force, he clapped them together and sent a powerful wave towards Mach V.

Now, it was time for the wolf. Hulk grit his teeth, occasionally glancing back at Juggernaut. Now, it was time for a little batting practice. He turned towards another light post and effortlessly ripped it from the ground. He made his way slowly to the wary wolf and quickly, almost immediately, stomped the ground beneath the fur face. As the dog went up, Hulk swung the light post as one would do a baseball bat.

((OOC: Black Widow is posting after me, we talked about it and she will be the one to sedate Hulk which would turn him back to Banner. ))

[Black Widow]

It was night, and Natalia Romanova needed a breath of fresh air. She had been working constantly for the last week, a gun in hand the whole time. It had been a real mess, some of it, and the SHIELD agent, the heroine, the Black Widow was enjoying her time out. Back flips between the roof-tops, swinging on a thin wire five and six stories over wide city streets, even if she didn't get into a fight tonight just the feel of the night air on her face was enough for her. The gentle wash of night air, even the pollution wasn't too bad today. One almost couldn't smell it. Almost being the operative word there.

Thick locks of auburn hair were tied back into a tight braid to keep them from interfering with her sight. Her pale oval face almost glowed in the darkness, her green eyes took in everything. But sitting balanced on the edge of a rooftop high over the city streets, something cut through the typical noises of the city like a knife through soft butter. It was a sharp and startling noise and Natalia realized its precise nature without so much as an ounce of effort. The noise nearly stopped her heart.

There was a fight going on, a big one not too far away, but the nature of the fight was what startled her. There were several people, and one of them was quite large, very, very large. Even if she couldn't see them, she had the sudden half-frightened feeling that he was green. Her hand went to her belt, she had sedatives there, high grade, but those weren't what she was looking for, her fingers brushed against a particular vial, a slightly larger one than the others. Gloved fingers wrapped around it, drew it out, and her other hand flew to her bracer, opened a compartment and drew out a long, wicked looking needle. With a short bout of assembly she was left holding a long hypodermic needle, designed specially for taking down that dangerous creature known as the Hulk.

"Lucky Lucky, Natalia..." She whispered, she almost hadn't brought it with her, it wasn't as if she needed it on a regular basis. She ran across the roofs, toward the sound of the fight, and suddenly found herself on a new roof's edge, looking down at a fight that showed no look of winding down. The Hulk, that monstrous creature born of horrid radiation, wasn't going to tire very soon, not without help.

Natalia took in a deep breath, waited until the thing's back was to her, and leapt from her rooftop. A dainty spin in midair and she was on the things back, the needle plunged with some difficulty past his thick hide and into his neck. She slammed a hand onto the plunger and did a backflip off of him, landing on her feet on the pavement, sliding slightly backward. "Hulk! That's quite enough! You need to calm down now!" She shouted, but it was an almost languid sound, a relaxing noise.

[Silent Wolf]

With a single swipe from his claws Silent Wolf sliced the light post into five different pieces. There were three small chunks, and then a larger piece that would have hit him, and then the remainder was what Hulk held in his hand. The lycan landed on his feet, and then back-flipped away from the green monster. Just as he was about to charge at the creature a woman jumped on him, and stuck a large needle in him. Kyoudai arched a brow in slight confusion, and just watched for a moment.

[Mach V]

It wouldn't have been much of a problem for MACH to evade the concussive force of the Hulk's thunderclap. The ability to fly at several times the speed of sound would have easily allowed him to avoid it. Unfortunately however, that would take him further from the fight than he wanted to be.

Abe boosted forward and threw up his armored arms to break the force of the blow. As the full force of the concussion struck him Abe tried to make himself as streamlined as possible.
While all this lessened the force of the blow, it still turned Abe around on the spot. He tumbled backwards once, before regaining control.

MACH could now understand why the Hulk got so angry when people fought him. Abe was starting to get a little pissed as well.
Things weren't exactly improving, and to top it all off some leather-clad woman had just stuck something in the Hulk's neck.

"What the hell is going on?" Abe yelled, before activating his suit's photon burst.

A blinding flash with energy levels akin to a large explosion filled the nearby streets. In all honesty it could probably have been seen from space.

With everyone else temporarily blinded, Abe hoped it would give him some time to make sense of the confusion. When they next looked, the rag-tag little gathering would see Abe stood on the ground, just down the street from the Hulk. He had one arm raised and had already targeted his two high-yield warheads on the beast's chest.

"Anybody care to explain?" He bellowed

[hulk]

After The Hulk had slapped the wolf some several feet away, he felt something, someone, jump on his back and in seconds he had been pricked with a needle. This stunned Hulk as no needle has ever pierced his skin but this one was no ordinary needle, this was specifically designed for the jolly green giant. The hulking creature fell to his knees and placed both hands on the ground.

Suddenly, his eyes began to tire and he felt weak inside. His breathing steadily increased and those around - though temporarily blinded by some flashy fireworks - seen the hulking creature revert to human size. Their eyes were still fuzzy and for his sake, they couldn't make out who truly was The Incredible Hulk. He wasn't paying attention to anything or anyone else because he didn't care.

The human, Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, clutched his abdomen and fell the the ground in what seemed like a deep sleep. He was half awake, but only briefly and he reached out to Natalia Romanova. "Please... H-Help them..." he muttered as he fell to the ground in a state of unconsciousness. The sedative worked and he was now the human everyone had known him to be from time to time.

Exit: Hulk/Bruce Banner

[Mach V]

"What the hell?" Abe threw up his arms and deactivated his suit's weapons systems.

"What exactly are you? And what are you doing here?" He demanded, pointing to the wolf-thing, and the new female arrival in turn.

He was glad that things were settled, if a little disappointed he didn't get to blow something up. He was in the right mood now and everything. . .

Now it was time to get some answers. "Do you know these two Cain?"

working with machines was always so much easier than working with people. Working with Meta-humans? Good lord. . .

[Black Widow]

Natalia walked over to the fallen scientist and stood over him protectively. "Just relax Bruce, I'll take care of it." She said, her voice calming, her whole demeanor of quiet reassurance until the sedative took full effect and he fell asleep. She rested her hands on her hips, within easy reach of the pistols strapped to the outsides of her thighs and stared at each and every one of the people in the street. Her eyes narrowed dangerously when MACH questioned her. She gave off the distinct impression of a mother wolf, prepared to bite the throat out of anyone who so much as took a step toward Bruce.

"I could very well ask you the same question, but unlike you, I'd have military backing, so I suggest you not propose to question me." Her tone was clipped, not the reassuring voice of seconds before, but a sharp and authoritative sound. Her shoulders were squared, and it was easily obvious that she was an authority figure. It wasn't a difficult task for the Super-Soldier, she adopted a haughty look and tapped a finger against the fabric at her hip. There was nothing soft about this woman, she looked as though she'd shoot one of them without so much as a second's pause.

She threw a look over at Juggernaut, and nodded to him, "We've met. I used to work with Daredevil." She reached into one of her bracers, drew out what appeared to be an Identification card. "I work with SHIELD, now, and if you take so much as one step forward I swear to God you'll be on the ground next to him." It wasn't a threat, it was a promise, delivered without aplomb, but simply with the lingering bit of fire that darted behind her jade eyes.

"I heard the fight, that is why I am here. You would have tired long before he did. Someone had to save you."

[Mach V]

Abe watched as her hands strayed to her waist, hovering about her weapons and poised to strike. He wasn't entirely sure what she really expected to accomplish by firing bullets at any of the three people assembled around the now unconscious Banner, but was certain of one thing.

He hated S.H.I.E.L.D.

"You know, I don't take to kindly to being threatened by anyone - especially not after I've put time, money and risked my own health saving lives and trying to contain things here."

Abe silently re-activated his weapons systems. His suit was, after all, a walking, powered weapons system. There was very little if anything in its design parameters that specified anything other than combat.
He hated S.H.I.E.L.D. and they hated him. They had betrayed him and his friends before, and he didn't trust them in the least.

Abe took a few steps forward, walking slowly and deliberately to the regular beat of his solid, heavy footfalls on the asphalt.

"You know, I really hate you people. You think you can do whatever the heck you like, to whoever you like, whenever it damn well pleases you. It's not me who needs to atone for past sins - it's you people."

Abe was gradually digging into his memories, recalling every false promise, every lie and manufactured hope, the years in prison, his harsh service in the war. . .
He had been trying to make things right and they still spied on him, followed him around like a wild animal, discrediting him at every turn.

He regretted murdering that scientist all those years ago, but imagined that killing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent would probably feel quite rewarding. . .

Abe suddenly powered up his combat systems, deploying the numerous tools of destruction at his disposal.
He stood before her, a minigun cycling over each shoulder, firing tubes open and two high yield warheads still loaded in his gauntlet and his lasers charging to full capacity.

What the hell was he doing?

"Screw you people!" Abe bawled at her, before deactivating and retracting his weapons as he turned away.

"Let me know how it goes Cain. I'm already tired of this arrogant government jackass." Abe muttered as he walked away, cycling up his flight systems as he moved off down the street.

[The Juggernaut, Bitch]

Slowly Cain clipped the latches back on his helm and shook his head to clear his thoughts. When his vision and hearing cleared he stood mute and listened to the verbal argument going on between Abe and Natasha. yes he knew Of the Black Widow. Matt Murdok had spoken well of her when Cain had last seen him (in court nonetheless) and Abe seemed awfully sore at her arrival. Oh well, nothing can be done now. At least she brought the brute down.

"Thanks Natasha for showing up when ya did. The green guy still packs a wallop." He said while rubbing his head. He turned and waved a hand toward Abe's direction. "Later Mach! I'll call ya!"

He felt Natasha and the Wolf man's eyes burning in his back so he turned around.

"Thank you as well Big furry guy. So, whats the plan for getting Banner out of here?"

[Mach V]

As Abe's flight systems finished cycling up for maximum velocity flight, he turned back to the Juggernaut.

"Hey Cain, don't forget about those thugs we left down the street! Oh, and yeah! Get in touch whenever - always good to hear from you big guy!" MACH called down the street, using his suit's external vox system to amplify his voice.

As he finished talking, Abe turned and bent his knees, before launching himself into the air. There was a brief, bright flash as the repulsorlift drives kicked in, firing the armoured man away at incredible velocity, and he was still accelerating.

As he disappeared from sight, a sonic boom washed over the area as Abe broke the sound barrier, and kept on going. . .

S.H.I.E.L.D. . .

Abe honestly didn't think he'd hated any person, group or organization as much in his entire life.

Exit: Moi

[Silent Wolf]

As usual Kyoudai said nothing, he merely watched and listened to the armored man and the woman in black. When she threatened everyone there the huge lycan was quite tempted to move toward Banner a bit for no other reason than to piss her off. ~Arrogant human. These fools have always thought so highly of themselves, believing that they were unstoppable. Idiots.~ He thought to himself as he glared over at Black Widow with green canine eyes.

It was people like this woman who had taken the home of his clan, and turned it into what it was today. It was fools like her that made him want to kill the entire human race, and turn the lands back into what it once was with the lycan as the supreme rulers. But, he had to remember that she was only one. There were others out there like this rather large man called Juggernaut, who were not so moronic, and haughty. The lycan calmed himself, and returned to his human form, reverting from his towering 8-feet down to just 6'3", only a couple seconds after the massive man thanked him.

"Silent Wolf." Kyoudai introduced himself, and then started to walk away. As he left the woman, Juggernaut, and what was once The Hulk he covered his ears as Mach V jetted off causing a sonic boom. ~Now that's speed.~ He thought as he looked off in the direction the armored man had gone. The Native American looking fellow walked casually down the street, a blank expression upon his face.
