Re: "Mortal Danger" in Marvel
[IT WAS TOO LOUD! The sound hurt and Hulk didn't like it. He looked around, swinging his gaze from one side to the other, trying to find what was so loud, but it was loud enough to make his head hurt. And even smashing the skittering spiders until they lay still wasn't enough to make the sound stop.
He eventually stepped forward, and the sound didn't hurt as much, so he took two more lumbering steps forward, crossing half the space, and was able to look around. Kitty was still up. And there was shiny up ahead that wasn't redgoldfriend. He knew that tiny Banner knew the shiny, but it only made him grunt. And thankfully not turn to smash anyone else that was moving around in the space. He managed to avoid the foam by the simple expedient of leaping over it, landing with a dome-shuddering thud on the other side. He knew, too, the voice that filled the space when everything else went quieter, but he didn't pay attention to what it was saying.
Big enough to almost fill the hallways when he walked through them, Hulk hunched his shoulders as he moved forward. He didn't know where he was going, but there were thoughts pushing him forward. Even if he couldn't focus on them. Forward was the way to go, and he knew Kitty and Shiny and Lady were there, going the same direction. He didn't care. He was looking for... yes. There. Redgoldfriend. Sleeping. Silly friend.
But then he stopped. And looked. Something was wrong. There was... Hulk's eyes narrowed into a squint. There was no glow. Hulk grunted. It sounded confused. No glow. Redgoldfriend needed a glow. HE NEEDED A GLOW.
Hulk remembered the last time when there was no glow. Falling and jumping and falling and catching and then there was no glow and it hurt! It hurt to think of there being no glow. Kitty was leaving. Shiny was picking up the no glow. And Hulk hurt.
The roar started as a rumble in his broad chest and quickly proceeded to fill the space, nearly as deafening as the earlier weaponized sound. The first roar was short and sharp, just like it had been the last time when there had been no glow. But the bundle over Shiny's shoulder didn't stir, and the next roar was delivered after a breath to fill large lungs. It started suddenly and didn't end for a very long time. Long and loud enough that it could be felt as a tremor of the air and structure around them. A possibly damaging tremor. There was a silence as he drew air again, almost as painful as the volume, and then the roar began again.]
