Elseworlds Hulk #1: Fear Part 1

Fixit and I went back to my apartment.

 

It was hard sneeking around a man with green skin and red eyes but we managed to get him into my apartment building. It was about 5:00 and the sun was starting to set, Fixit walked in, turned on the lights and grabed a beer from the fridge. It was as if he knew the place inside out, but then I remembered he was technically me, one of the many versions I just became aware of.

 

"So what do we do now Fixit?" I ask.

 

"One, Please call me Mr. Fixit, and two we watch." He says.

 

"Okay, what are we watching for?" I ask him.

 

"We watch for any news of the other Hulks, and for any odd behavior from you." He answers.

 

"Odd behavior? Why?"

 

"All the Hulks are linked to you, so when a Hulk absorbs more of the emotion they represent they grow in power, some of that emotion or feeling will come through you."

 

"Oh, so how many Hulks are there?"

 

"You tell me Bruce, your the one who's connected to them, I just know what I know because I'm a Hulk and I'm the intelligent one. So concentrate, concentrate on the Hulks."

 

I follow what Mr. Fixit said and I close my eyes so I can focus. I take deep breathes and think about my emotions, about the Hulks and about how much my life changed a few hours ago. I start to see colours, flashing, blue, red, green. But then my silence is broken by a knock at the door. I open my eyes and look to the door, I remember "Betty". Mr. Fixit stands up and puts his finger to his mouth, signaling he'll be quiet. He then walks quietly into the kitchen, I then walk to the door and open it. On the other side is a girl, she wears a red sweater and tan pants, she is smiling at me, her name is Betty Ross. I invite her in the door and we hug.

 

"Hey Bruce." She says to me.

 

I start to get nervous, Betty and I have been friends since high school, I'm usually never nervous around her. I back away slowly, I feel scared. I run into the kitchen but Mr. Fixit isn't there, I turn around and Betty is now in the kitchen.

 

"What the hell are you doing Bruce?" She asks.

 

I look at her again, no longer feeling nervous and I speak.

 

"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." I say.

 

"Are you alright?"

 

"Yeah, I just had a really weird day, I think I need to rest."

 

"But I thought we were going for dinner, you said you wanted to tell me something."

 

"Right, right. Do you think we could reschedule? I think I'm coming down with a cold." I lie.

 

"Well if your feeling sick a hot meal is what you need."

 

"I'm sorry Betty, maybe another day?"

 

"Okay, Bruce, I'll see you later then." She says as she leaves.

 

Mr. Fixit then comes into the room after the door closes.

 

"What happened?" Mr. Fixit says.

 

"I have no idea, I just felt scared." I say.

 

"Sacred? I don't remember a Hulk like that."

 

"I'll turn on the news and see if there's anything."

 

I flip through the channels as Mr. Fixit paces the room, I don't see anything big, only that a robery of Potts Tech in New York was stopped by some masked vigilante.

 

"Well I couldn't find anything." I say.

 

Mr. Fixit then looks outside and speaks.

 

"Well I did."

 

I run to he window, and see that everyone is running around in chaos on the streets, in the center is a lime green man, just taking everything in.

 

"Looks like we found our first Hulk I say."
