Elseworld Hulk Vol. 1, #5: Something from Nothing
After about 3 hours of driving I arrive in New York City.
After Samuel was paralyzed by Despair and She-Hulk I promised him I would drive him to New York to see Amadeus Cho, who may have the technology to help Samuel. He hasn’t been very social for the ride, only speaking when he needed something, but I don’t blame him, if some blue monster started throwing me around I would be pretty traumatized. I didn’t feel like talking anyways, I was too busy thinking of what was going to happen when Fixit found Despair and She-Hulk. I get out of the car and go into the trunk, where a foldable wheelchair lays, I unfold it and then roll it over to the passenger seat where Samuel is. I help him out and then roll him down the street to where Amadeus’ shop is supposed to be. We eventually arrive at what seems to be an old auto repair shop, but where the sign must have been now hangs a banner that reads “Cho Tech”. Beneath the banner is a metal garage door with an arrow spray painted on it, the arrow points towards the front door, which is open. I roll Samuel inside, and as we enter two bright red lights flash above our heads and a speaker starts to yell “CUSTOMERS! CUSTOMERS! CUSTOMERS!”. There are 4 long tables spread across the room, each one is cluttered with tools and scrap metal and odd inventions. At the very back of the room is a short Asian man who appears to be tinkering with an odd metal box, he slowly looks up at the blaring lights and speaker and turns them off with a snap of his fingers. He then turns his attention to us and gets up to meet us. He looks as if he’s been in his shop for the last couple days, which could be true, his hair is kind of messy and he’s wearing a grey hoodie and black sweatpants.
“Welcome! My name is Amadeus Cho! C.E.O. of Cho Tech! What can I help you gents with?”
“Um yeah, my friend Samuel here was paralyzed and--“ I say before I’m cut off.
“We need you to fix my legs.” Samuel demands.
“Okay, well I actually may be able to help you.”
Amadeus leads us over the second table on the right, he then tosses some papers and boxes aside revealing a metal belt with a bunch of wires hanging down on the left and right, they connect to two circuit boards covered by some sort of clear plastic, and on the ends of them is a metal ring that would seem to fit around the leg.
“So these may be the answer to your problem, I call them “The robo legs”!”
“Really that’s the best you could come up with?” Samuel asks sarcastically.
“Don’t hate, appreciate! Plus it’s a working title.” Amadeus says.
“So you’re willing to give these to us?” I ask.
“Sure, I got a whole closet full of them.”
“No you don’t.” Samuel says.
“Of course I don’t, it was a joke. But I will give them to you, but if anything else happens I can’t be held responsible, because they’re only a prototype.”
“So Samuel will be your test subject?” I ask.
“I wouldn’t call it that, he more of a…well yeah I guess that’s what he is but don’t let that discourage you.”
“It won’t but let’s see if they work, someone help me put them on.”
I help Samuel out of his chair and Amadeus gets the robo legs. We manage to get them on and let Samuel try them out. At first he struggles but the more he walks the less painful it appears to be, and in not long Samuel seems to be able to walk with no trouble.

Meanwhile in Boston, Fixit searches for Despair and She-Hulk.
Early today Bruce took Samuel Sterns to find help for his legs, and he sent me to find the two Hulks that paralyzed Samuel. I feel I am close to finding them, so I head towards the dock. At first I don’t see anyone but that’s when I hear screaming. I run to the noise and see She-Hulk and Despair sitting on the edge of the boardwalk picking up boats out of the water and throwing them back in. She-Hulk is laughing and Despair definitely doesn’t look as depressed. I walk over to them, trying to make sure no one spots me, they don’t seem to notice me as I approach them so I announce myself.
“My name is Mr. Fixit, I’m a Hulk, like you two.” I say.
They turn to me and stare at me for a couple seconds, and then She-Hulk speaks.
“Oh yeah, I remember you from the school when we were split from Banner.”
“Yes so do I, I saw you two the other day but there were too many people.” I respond.
“So Mr. Fixit you are what part of Bruce’s personality?” Despair asks in a low sad sounding voice.
“I am the intelligence, I was the only Hulk to stay behind and help Bruce. What part of him are you two?”
“I’m his sadness and She-Hulk is his feminine side.”
“His feminine side?” I say with a bit of a snicker.
“I wouldn’t laugh if I were you buddy, I’m known to have a temper towards smart asses. So back to what you were saying, you met Banner?”
“Yes, I’ve been helping him find other Hulks.”
“You’re the one who helped him find fear? You’re gonna get us killed!” Despair says breaking into tears.
“Chill Despair, that wasn’t him, it was the cops, and speaking of the cops we should get outta here.” She-Hulk says.
“Yes, they’ve probably been alerted of your presence by now.”
“For the smart one you’re not very smart, look behind you genius.”
I follow what She-Hulk says and look behind me, at first I don’t see anything but then I see the sirens flashing. Three police cars and one SWAT van come speeding around the corner, when I turn back around to She-Hulk and Despair I see they’re already running, so I run after them. I follow them down the boardwalk, up some stairs and onto the road. They then run in-between a bunch of crates and freight containers stacked on top of each other. I just manage to slip through before the Police can catch us. We all meet behind a green freight container thinking we lost the police.
“I think were safe.” She-Hulk says.
“They’re g-gonna k-k-kill us!” Despair says through is tears.
“Stop crying, you’ll give us away!” I say.
We all stay quiet for a couple seconds but then a cop comes from behind us and yells that he found us. Sweat drips from his forehead, his gun shakes, he looks young, probably a rookie. Despair turns around and runs straight for him, the rookie fires at him but the bullets just bounce off Despair. The rookie is then lifted off the ground and tossed into a nearby warehouse. I then turn around to see five more cops, they rapid fire on us. I jump out of the way but Despair and She-Hulk run right for them, She hulk grabs three at once all slamming them into some crates and the throws them into their own cars. The two remaining ones are slammed together by Despair and then straight into the ground. She-Hulk then signals me to come over. Looks like she forgot about the SWAT truck. Instead of following her I go the opposite way around the container. As I peak my head around the corner I see four officers in SWAT gear come out of the truck, behind them is Captain Ross, the man who murdered Fear. The officers fire at the Hulks but like before, they are not affected. But then one of the officers goes into the truck and comes out with a bazooka. He fires it at the Hulks and they are sent flying back into a couple of crates. Despair begins to scream and cry, but She-Hulk just gets right back up like it was nothing. She picks up some debris from the crates and throws it at the officers, two of them jump out of the way but the rest just keep shooting. She then picks up a large piece of wood from the crate and rams it into one of the officers, stabbing him in the leg. The officer with the bazooka drops his weapon because She-Hulk is too close to fire. Ross yells at the officer and then runs into the truck to get a weapon. The other officers that jumped aside before run at She-Hulk and jump on her back trying to stop her, but she just reaches back, grabs them and tosses them into the harbor. Ross come out of the truck with two grenades in his hands, She-Hulk doesn’t seem to notice him as she’s looking back to where Despair is lying. I yell at here but she doesn’t hear, so I run to stop Ross. He pulls out the pin from one of the grenades and tosses towards the Hulks I manage to knock the grenade away from all of us but it’s still close enough to knock Ross, She-Hulk and I away. I slowly get up but when I look for Ross he’s nowhere to be seen. But then I hear something hit the ground. I look down to see a grenade right beside me. I try to grab it and throw it away, but then Ross pulls out a gun and shoots it right in my hand, causing it to blow up.
