Who: Lyra Banner, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner
What: Lyra wants to be a helper!
Where: Out on the streets of New York
When: Late morning, Monday.

Lyra had mostly stayed where the other kids were, giving lots of hugs and trying to help wherever she could. Daddy made it very clear that they were both going to stay inside the building where it was safe. But she had kept her eyes on what other people were saying online, and Lyra was small enough that most people didn’t realize she was paying attention to them. She heard everything, saw everything. A quick look out the window showed her the monsters that were mindlessly terrorizing anyone in their way and crumbling cars and buildings carelessly.

And then Miss Betty got hurt, and Daddy was upset and left her behind to go see her. She was worried. Daddy wasn’t as tough as her. Daddy was smart and liked to use his super big brain muscle, but it wasn’t the same as her real muscle. She had to make sure that he was okay.

Lyra waited until everyone was distracted—a bunch of the fighters had come in, and people were checking them to make sure they were okay and that they ate and rested. It was almost easy to sneak out. Once out the door, she took off running, but she was careful not to get worried or scared. She was a warrior and she had to keep calm to be strong. Mommy would be so proud that she was remembering her training as she took the stairs two at a time.

She busted out of the building and didn’t see any monsters but she heard them. She took off running towards them. She didn’t know how far she ran, maybe a couple of blocks, but when she turned the corner—there they were. They were huge, and ugly and they made strange noshing noises. She almost got scared, but she took a studying breath, counted and focused. They hadn’t noticed her yet.

She opened her eyes when she calmed down and her senses seemed just a little stronger. She could see more details, including a pulsing… shifting light that flowed through the monster. It was a target. A weakness. Lyra couldn’t tell you how she knew, but all of her senses said that she could hit him there, and it would hurt him so much.

Lyra sprang into action, jumping on a car and then leaping at the beast, kicking him squarely in the chest before pummeling it. “I HOPE YOU HURT YOU MEANIE!” She said, bouncing her tiny fists off his chest. She sprang away as another grabbed at her and managed to grab at a street sign. She pulled the sign, metal pole and all, out of the cement and swung it, colliding it with the pulsing light from the monster…

The monster flew back a few yards and didn’t move for a second before it seemed to melt away. Lyra grinned, before shouting at the second one. “THAT IS GONNA BE YOU TOO!”

"But I can help better than most of the adults in the building." Lyra basically whined at her Uncle Tony, flinching away as one of his blasts smacked into a monster that was behind her.

At the sound of her dad's voice, she scanned the street slightly worried. It wasn't safe for her daddy to be there! She rolled her eyes, and ducked under a monsters arm as it lunged for her. She jumped, kicking it hard in the back before flipping off. She needed something to whack with. "That... that is why boys just aren't allowed in the city. They don't understand you know." They needed to understand that Lyra was a warrior, it was her job and she'd been in training for two years! She could fight a few monsters.

She tried to jump up around one of the monsters that had tried to grab her, but she didn't aim high enough. The monster grabbed her by the ankle and swung her around his head as if she were nothing. He released and sent her flying into the building, crumbling another wall as she went through it.

	"Shit!" Tony shouted as his niece went flying. "Bruce, grab her, I'll cover!" He went to work blasting monsters that were between Bruce and Lyra. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tony's words didn't even register. The white light of pure fury behind his eyes nearly knocked him to the ground. The surface emotion was pain, fear, maybe even a bit of dread. But the rage... Oh, that was new. It had been a bit since he'd felt that.

The needles pricking at his skin, the allover rush of his blood coursing through his veins faster than was humanly possible... "Really? Now?" He wasn't complaining, though. He couldn't. Not when these bastards had hurt his baby.

Which was the last truly coherent thought Bruce had before his mind officially flipped the figurative switch and his body transitioned from the rather small man to the large and muscled beast. Without even taking a moment to adjust, the Hulk reached out, grabbed the offending monster who had the nerve to attack a child, and ripped it in half.

Lyra was more shocked than hurt, she was able to brush off a lot of things (including the dust in her hair from the drywall she sailed through) but it had been a while since anything had gotten a hit on her like that. She frowned, almost a pout, as she propelled herself back through the whole her tiny body had made as it crashed.

She was expecting to see the ugly, angry monster, but instead she was looking at… well, it was large and green and angry and-- “Daddy!” She practically yelled, and she jumped at him, hugging him tightly around the leg, “Daddy, you look like me!”

She lunged again at a monster, punching it several times in the chest. “You stay away from my dad you thing!” She screamed.

	Tony's eyes widened when his friend transformed into the Hulk. "Yes! Welcome back, big guy!" However, he noticed Lyra lunge and hug the Hulk. Uh oh. He sent some more monsters flying and readied himself to fight Hulk if needed. Where was Veronica when he needed her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That was...unexpected. Just as Bruce only vaguely knew of his experiences when the Hulk was 'in the driver's seat', Hulk had only vague recollections of Bruce's life. But the memory of a small child tingled on the surface. Right. The reason he was so full of fury.

Lightly, he patted the top of her head with one hand while the other threw an approaching creature into the nearest building. "You go." Tony had a dad voice. Bruce had a dad voice. Hulk...well, he would work on it, maybe.

Lyra shook her head furiously. She was absolutely not leaving; this was quite possibly the only chance she had to bond with her big green daddy. She was going to show him that she could fight just as good as he could, she was going to be a mighty warrior!

“Noooooo.” She whined, stomping her foot. A monster slashed at her, and she ducked under his arm, a single talon grazing her face lightly, leaving a small scratch. She growled and lunged at the monster. “WHY ARE THESE MONSTERS SO DUMB AND MEAN.”
