Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: What kind of world is this

"Hi Kevin, do you want to team up for our biology assignment?" Two cute classmates came up to Kevin and asked in a friendly manner.

Kevin understood that crime doesn't take a break, so neither can he.

"Sorry I'm returning home to my parents today, and will be back late, you'll have to find someone else to team up with" Kevin answered in kind.

He also understood that their intention wasn't just to study, but to become closer to him. But to them, he was just a popular, tall, good looking athlete with a good future. If that was all he was, he wouldn't mind getting closer to them. Sadly, most of that was a fraud, a scam, an act. He's far from just the popular guy at school.

He is someone who will carry the world on his shoulders. These girls aren't ready for something like that. Even if they thought they were, they weren't.

"Ah, erm, maybe next time" the other of the two answered before the two made their ways.

It's nearing the end of his time in midtown highschool. So more and more girls are approaching him to "study."

But he rarely interacts with more people than necessary. He has few friends, but lately him and Peter started to become friends after Kevin initially saved Peter from flash. They have lots in common, neither want to plan things after school hours which made them click. 'All is fine and dandy during school hours but please don't ask me if I'm up to something after school' that's the underlining philosofi that made their friendship work.

Kevin continued to his locker but suddenly he stopped. Suddenly turning his head to the side as he listened. As if he had heard something horrendous, He hurried to the bathroom. He almost ran.

Kevin hurried past many that tried to talk to him but he didn't notice them.

"Kevin, did you..." as peter saw Kevin walk by, he wanted to start a conversation but Kevin didn't seem to hear him so Peter stopped midsentence.

Before Peter could even think of his encounter with Kevin, he felt goosebumps all over his body. His spider senses began screaming at him that something dangerous is about to happen.

Peter turned around and hurried to find an unused classroom so he could sneak out through a window.

In a secret basement of a Stark mansion, a man in his mind twenty's stood looking at his masterpiece.

Suddenly a robotic voice that sounded almost alive spoke "Sir, Bruce Banner have been found. The military has already engaged him and he turned into the hulk. They are in combat and nearing New York at this moment."

"Thanks Jarvis, ready the suit" the man said. After his kidnapping, he had changed, he is no longer a simple, rich playboy. No he realized that he needed to become someone that can change the world for the better. Looking at his suit he suddenly saw his own face. He almost looked unrecognizable to himself, not because he looked different, but because he felt different. "Tony Stark" he whispered the name that no longer felt like his own.

He came home a few months ago, and started working on his masterpiece, his Iron armor. Recently it had completed all tests, he was only waiting for the time to take it to the sky.

"Bruce Banner... Someone I considered close to my own plane of intelligence, was in an accident two months ago and became the monster he is today." Tony spoke as if to remind himself of the matters at hand.

Two months ago there was an explosion that shocked half of the state, people at that time thought it was an earthquake. Later the population was informed that a nuclear power plant had gone off but no one was harmed. Only a few knew the real story. That was the birth of a green monstrosity. The leading scientist, one of the brilliant minds of modern times, tried to create something... greater, stronger... superior to the super soldier serum using nuclear energy and radioactivity. But an accident happened, and that accident is now rampaging outside of New York.

"Dr. Banner was hiding in a low populated small town, few people were harmed as most people were escorted by the military before they engaged the Hulk." Jarvis informed Tony without him even needing to ask.

Tony stepped forward to put on his Iron armour. "It's time to fly" he said.

Kevin took off his t-shirt that he wore, and put on his yellow hoodie all in superspeed. He didn't have time to change into another suit, because if his heading isn't failing him, disaster is striking.

He ran out of the school at superspeed then flew up towards the roof of the school. He put his glasses in his backpack where the rest of his things were and dropped it on the roof.

Superman flew higher and higher and reaching supersonic speed he flew towards where disaster was. Even so far away he could see what was happening. The hulk, standing at 3 meters tall, bulking with green muscles, ripping off the body parts of soldiers trying to engage him.

Superman winced slightly as he saw this. The soldiers were only following orders, and they couldn't harm the hulk, yet in his furious, mad state he was destroying everything and everyone. Superman saw that half a town was destroyed, luckily not many people were killed, most seemed to have escaped.

Super felt sombre as he saw this, the town was not much different from Branchville. Suddenly superman increased his speed as he saw that Hulk found a family of three hiding beside a container. Hulk not only turned towards them, he started running towards them in a frenzy. The father is holding his wife and child, all three of them quivering in fear.

The military increased their aggression in hopes of the hulk ignoring the family, and Hulk's anger did increase, but unfortunately, it was misplaced.

As superman saw all this as he was flying towards the scene, he understood something, The hulks actions were downplayed in the movies and comics. Bruce hated himself, and rightly so.

The Hulk suddenly stopped looking upwards, which also made the military stop. Everyone heard a Sonic boom, and saw a yellow flash before hulk disappeared.

Everyone is looking around trying to locate him. "We've lost Hulks location" A commander shouted at his communicator. As he was going to repeat it, his fellow soldier just put his hand on his shoulder motioning him to look towards a hill a few hundred meters away. Half of the upper part of that hill had exploded.

And on top of what was left of that hill. The hulk was in a dog fight whit a yellow Hooded man with a red "S on the front and back.

"Superman" one of the soldiers whispered, creating a chain reaction, all the other soldiers started shouting in relief. The family of three were crying in both relief and joy that they miraculously survived.

-~-~-~-~-~

This is my first serious fight that I've written. I'm trying to portray the scene in my head as accurately ass possible while making it exciting. I finnay understand why all the new author always say "This is the first fight I've written" because it's hard making it good. Is it too dragged out? Is it too short? Well this fight hasn't really started yet.
