It just got worse [open]
It was another late night in the office. Or maybe it was day. Time was a little fuzzy in this City. It was even fuzzier to Bruce Banner, who'd had a very full week and had spent the last several hours grading papers, and whose caffeine level was starting to dip. He headed to the teachers' lounge to refill his Iron Man mug.
Now able to see the streets of the City, he was vaguely aware of motion. He pressed his face to the glass to cut down the reflections of the fluorescent lights. There were people out there - lots of them, just kind of milling around. Some kind of block party? Suddenly, someone darted down the street. The people around the woman lunged lazily at her, but she evaded their grasp. She turned a corner and ran right into a cluster of people, who proceeded to tackle her to the ground and rip her apart. Immediately, Bruce's heart was in his throat. "Oh my fuck..." was all he choked out before he felt his body start its painful transformation.
On the street, the woman stood up again, organs dangling. The zombies around her lost interest, and began milling around again. There was a sound of breaking glass, and the zombies looked around in vague confusion. One looked up just in time to see a huge form coming down on top of him. With a THUD and a squelch of dark flesh, the zombie was flattened under the Hulk's feet.
"NO EAT PEOPLE! EAT HULK FIST!"
The Hulk thrashed and stomped and ripped. Limbs and heads went flying and landed blocks away, and the ground was soon smeared dark brown and slick. But the promise of such a huge meal was irresistible to the throng of undead, and they clung to the Hulk with fingers and teeth.
Somewhere in his brain, Bruce held out hope that the Hulk's regenerative abilities would protect him from the effects of whatever agent turned these people into zombies. But to his dismay, he could feel it spreading all the faster throughout the Hulk's massive form, and soon his mind was swallowed up in darkness as well.
"HULK HUNGRY..."
