There were many words that one could use in order to describe the Hulk. But the moment I met him, the moment I met my father, only one word came to mind.
Strong.
Even though I knew of the existences like Galactus, Knull, Black Winter and all the other ridiculous beings that inhabited this universe; just for a moment, I believed in Hulk's claim to be 'the strongest one there is'. That was the kind of presence he had.
And he was my father. And he was glaring at us.
"You. Like a buzzing in my ears. Calling for the Hulk. Well now you got him, so show yourself."
Yeah, this wasn't going good. But still wasn't that bad, I just had to stop Skaar from… where was Skaar?
"Thought you'd be bigger." In the one moment I had taken my eyes off of him, my brother had managed to get right in front of our father with his sword ready in hand.
"What long hair want?" Hulk grunted and I knew that if I let this continue, it would end up either with Saar's sword through Hulk's chest and Hulk cracking my brother open like an egg. The latter, more likely than the former. So I didn't.
"Skaar, calm down." I said as I jumped between the two green Goliaths.
"Stand aside brother."
"Skaar, your rage against him is misplaced. You know what mother said, as far as he knew; we were dead." I tried to reason with Skaar, his anger towards our father due his absence while we suffered on Sakaar was, while understandable, misplaced. It was born out of his need of blaming someone for his misfortune and father being a proper target for that rage.
"Mother also said that he was a hero. Tell me; what kind of hero leaves his sons to burn, his people to bleed and his world to die?!" My brother yelled and before I could say anything, the Hulk himself joined the conversation.
"Crazy longhair! Why do you bother Hulk with your stupid stories?!" The Hulk yelled at us, seemingly confusing my brother who did not understand that the Hulk in front of us was not truly the Green Scar, not yet anyway.
"Please, let us speak. We are..." I tried to say, but before I could so much as blink, Hulk had my face in his hand; looking into my eyes.
"Funny eyes... funny... no..." And then there was pain in Hulk's eyes.
"Cai... Caiera." Huh, didn't need me to convince him, that's good.
"You remember mother's name, do you remember yourself now, Green Scar?" Skaar asked, his sword now resting on his shoulder.
"Green Scar... no..." As much as I hated it, I knew where this was going.
"You guys might wanna take a few dozen steps back!" I yelled at the peanut gallery of heroes. Just as green aura of gamma energy burst from my father.
"WORLD BREAKER!"
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
It was just as Reed had feared, the meeting between the Hulk and his sons had managed to awaken the Green Scar persona of the Hulk. The persona that had almost destroyed an entire city by merely taking a step.
And this time, they didn't have Tony's satellite system or Hulk's cooperation in order to take him down.
"Stretch!" He could hear Ben yell at him, bless his old friend's heart. Always looking out for people.
"Mister Richards, I hope that you have some sort of plan in order to save the day." Emma Frost said with her hands in front of her face and her body in her organic diamond form in order to protect herself while standing in front of Cyclops.
"The gamma inhibitor with me might be able to weaken him a little but it would also be meaningless if we agitate him." Reed admitted, their plan had been to make sure Green Scar wouldn't come out. In hindsight, he really should have made a plan to stop him even if he came out but such a plan was impossible to make in the limited time they had.
But as he looked around in order to find something that would give him some sort of idea to stop the Hulk from breaking the world, the energy coming from the green Goliath subsided with the Hulk's hand on his head.
"No... no..." And then just for a moment, the Hulk turned back to Banner before once more turning into the Hulk, this time without the aura of world destroying energy.
"Hulk bored now." The green giant said as he turned around and Reed had to sigh in relief, somehow Bruce had managed to suppress the Green Scar and go back to the Hulk they knew of. And what a day it is that Hulk would be the better option for their lives.
"Oh no, I say when we're done." But it seemed like the son of the Hulk didn't think like Reed or anyone else did and had created a wall of earth in front of the Hulk.
"Now, just listen for a..."
"GO AWAY!" The Hulk yelled as he clapped his hands, sending both of his sons away with a shockwave and then leapt away. The son who had more similarities with his father looked like he was about to jump after him before the other son grabbed his arm.
"Don't. I don't know why we can't reach our father but until we have a proper plan to get him out that is beyond 'punching hard' there is no meaning in going after him."
"Smart choice bub." Wolverine said as he walked up to them. A side effect of his healing factor, he was less afraid of getting punched by Hulk class being than they were.
"Now, until you form that plan, there is something me and my friends back there want to talk to you about." The old mutant said as he pointed to his back with his thumb.
"What do you say about getting some earthly education?"
