Who: The Hulk Where: Somewhere in Upstate New York When: A few days after the final showdown (Backdated) What: Hulk doesn't want to leave Rating: PG
Hulk lost track of how long he'd been fighting the Frost Giants. Ever since the day when SHIELD dropped Bruce Banner into their midst, Hulk was going after them, searching them out. There was a time when it seemed as though they were purposely sending their best fighters en masse to try to defeat the unstoppable creature, but despite overwhelming odds, the Hulk managed to lay them all to waste.
But now, they stopped coming. They were nowhere to be found. The temperature was getting warmer, snow and frost were melting. Weather patterns were returning to normal and as Hulk stomped through the forested area, he paused and looked up at the bright blue sky and sunshine as he realized the Frost Giants had been defeated.
"No more blue men to fight." The Hulk sounded disappointed. It was a thrill to give his rage an unrestrained arena to let loose. Now the adrenaline was wearing down, and usually, Hulk would recede and let Bruce Banner take control again. But this time it was different.
"Hulk stay."
He continued to stomp through the woods, aimlessly.
