(Y/n) POV

It's been 4 weeks since Gwen and I found Kevin's killer and I still refuse to join the Secret Warriors, I spend most of my time, when I'm not at school, in either the training room or in my room brooding. Today, I hear a heavy knock at the door.

(Y/n): *sighs* Go away, Hulk.

The door suddenly breaks off it's hinges, but I don't react as Hulk walks into my room.

Hulk: You're coming with me.

(Y/n): *turns away* Not now. I just want to be alone.

Hulk: No chance, squirt.

Hulk grabs me in his enormous hand and drags me to another part of the city and into the Baxter Building. I groan as we exit an elevator, when Hulk tells you to do something, you better fricking do it.

(Y/n): So, why are we here?

Hulk: Come on.

I follow Hulk until we enter a room filled with the other Hulk variants, Red Hulk, A-Bomb, Skaar, and She-Hulk, oh and The Thing is here too. A-Bomb is actually excited I'm here.

A-Bomb: Yo! The Mighty Charizard is here the house hulk-fans. Check him out.

I see two floating cameras float at me.

(Y/n): So, these things follow you around?

A-Bomb: Yeah! And your just in time for our Gut-Buster Burrito eating contest!

(Y/n): *growls*

Hulk: You haven't eaten all week, eat something.

(Y/n): *groans* Fine.

I take 4 gigantic burrito's and scarf them down.

3rd Person POV

She-Hulk: *leans over to Hulk as he sits in a chair* Who's the kid, cuz?

Hulk: Scarlet Witch's boy. She asked me to help his self confidance. He hates his powers and how he got them.

Red Hulk: He still looks puny to me.

Hulk: *to (Y/n)* Hey, kid. Show the guys your party trick.

(Y/n): No!

Hulk simply throws an apple and it splats against (Y/n)'s head.

(Y/n): Ow! Jeez, what was that for?!

Hulk: No use hiding what you can do, kid.

(Y/n) groaned but gives in and steps back before enveloping himself in fire and transforming into his Charizard form.

Skaar: Oh! Fire lizard.

A-Bomb: Ha! That's so cool! Uh- I mean hot.

The Thing: Nice moves, kid.

Red Hulk: Ha! Kid sits next to me!

Charizard is grabbed by Red Hulk and is plopped into a chair at the poker table.

The Thing: You sure he's old enough, greenie?

Hulk: He's almost 18, leave it be.

She-Hulk: Welcome to the big boy table, hot stuff.

She-Hulk deals out everyone's cards, Charizard picks his hand up and looks at it as he eats another burrito. Deep down he does feel a little better about being around people who kinda understand him better. Just then a news report came on from the Daily Bugle's J. Jonah Jameson.

Jameson: And in other news if our own menace Spider-man wasn't bad enough, the Fire-Breathing monster, Charizard and the rampaging Hulk has been spotted. Imagine if the two became a regular team-up. Lock your doors-

Hulk had enough and flicked the TV remote at the TV, destrying it and letting it fall to the floor.

The Thing: Nice! I do that too.

(Y/n): *sighs*

Hulk: Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.

Red Hulk: And anyone who talks trash about you are nothing but trash themselves!

Suddenly, something blows a hole in the wall next to the poker table, which happens to lead outside. A large floating robot hovers through the opening.

The Thing: Who's the party crasher?

She-Hulk: Don't know. Don't care.

Red Hulk: So let's smash it already!

The robot blasts at the ground and knocks the five backwards, The Thing gets up and is pretty upset.

The Thing: No one ruins my poket night! It's clobbering ti-

The robot fires a blue laser and traps The Thing in a blue orb.

She-Hulk: Ben!

She-Hulk and Red Hulk charge for the robot, but it does the same to them, scans them and then teleports them to who knows where.

(Y/n): This isn't part of the game is it, Hulk?

Hulk: No. It's not.

(Y/n): So... plan?

Hulk: Time to smash!

Hulk charges forward and punches the robot out of the building, it manages to recover but is tackled by Hulk and both crash into the street.

(Y/n): Yeah, mom. Hanging out with hulks is gonna be a hoot.

(Y/n) flies down to help Hulk as the crowd panics and runs away in terror, more from Hulk than the robot though.

(Y/n): Hey! Hulk is a hero!

Hulk: Let them run from me. Keeps them out of the way.

The robot fires at the two, but they easily dodge it.

(Y/n): Hulk, manuever 7!

Hulk: Good idea!

Charizard flies with Slash, the robot floats up to dodge, but Charizard flew back up high and used a Flamethrower hitting the robot directly. Hulk then charged and threw a punch at the robot sending it tumbling. A-Bomb and Skaar jump out of the building and start falling to join us.

A-Bomb: Leave some for us, guys!

The robot recovered and blasted everyone with the same blue laser, trapping us in bubbles, but while the robot scanned A-Bomb and Skaar and teleported them away, Hulk and (Y/n) were scanned and then just dropped them on the ground.

(Y/n): Wait. Why did we get left behind?

Hulk: Don't know. We have to find out where they were taken.

(Y/n) looks up and his superior vision allows him to spot a dark shape high in the sky.

(Y/n): *points up at shape* My guess is they were taken up there, into space.

Hulk: Gotta get up there.

(Y/n): How? I can't fly into space.

Hulk doesn't answer, but instead leads (Y/n) his teams Jump-Jet which can fly up into space.

(Y/n) POV

Hulk and I jump in and he starts flying up into space towards what we now knew was an alien spaceship with a fleet of those same drones that zapped Hulk's friends. I am trying to get into contact with Avenger's Tower, but am getting zilch.

(Y/n): Ugh, I'm getting nothing from Avenger's Tower.

Hulk: Drones probably got them too.

(Y/n): So.... charge in blasting?

Hulk: *smirks* Yup.

Hulk hits the accelerator and starts firing the various weapons.

Hulk: Don't just sit there, (Y/n), shoot something!

(Y/n): Thought you'd never ask.

I start firing the minigun on the bottom of the jet destroying several drones, but I notice a large cannon on the ship charging up to fire at us.

(Y/n): Uh, Hulk. Big gun, Hulk! *yells in Hulk's ear* Hulk!

Hulk: I see it!

(Y/n): Well, turn!

Hulk doesn't turn, instead grabs me and puts me into Red Hulk's space suit and gets his on just before the Jump-Jet is destroyed, but we're totally fine.

(Y/n): You are unclear on the turning thing.

Hulk: Bought enough time to get you into space suit, didn't I?

(Y/n): Yeah, Red Hulk's.

Hulk: Only suit that was fireproof.

Groaning over, we make our way inside the ship, ditch the space suits and try to sneak through the hallways.

(Y/n): So, what first? Shut down the tractor beam or save the team?

Hulk: *covers my mouth* Will you shut it? Stay behind me. Don't get hurt. And be quiet.

(Y/n): *sarcastic* Yeah, cause you're quieter than a mouse.

Hulk: At least I don't have a beacon on my ass.

(Y/n): Says the one with deadly gamma morning breath.

Hulk and I walk into a really big room with a ceiling probably a hundred feet tall, and lining the walls are capsules, each one is filled with every hero on Earth.

(Y/n): They're all here. The Avenger's. Fantastic Four. *looks up* And the Secret Warriors?!

Hulk: And my Agents of S.M.A.S.H.

A machine that kinda looks like a claw crane, manuevers to an empty capsule and teleports The Thing into a capsule and seals him inside.

(Y/n): Now what?

The Collector: Magnificent, isn't it?

Hulk and I turn around and see a tall and slightly lanky humanoid with gray hair and a red cape, he proudly points out all the heroes stuck in the capsules as he speaks.

The Collector: Every major hero, including many rare and unique ones, most in mint condition.

Hulk: So, what are you, some kind of collector?

The Collector: I'm THE Collector. And I know who you are. The rampaging Hulk, and the Monstrous Charizard. I've researched this planet to learn which heroes to collect. From monitoring your trusted information dispenser, J. Jonah Jameson.

(Y/n): Seriously? J. Jonah Jerkface couldn't tell a rabbit from a rattlesnake if he tried.

Hulk: You're letting them go, now!

Hulk leaps at the Collector, to which he effortlessly responds with a energy blast from his hands sending Hulk crashing onto the ground. I snarl and fly up into the air and match another of the Collector's energy blasts with my Flamethrower, but the Collector simply puts more power into his laser which overpowers mine, and I fall next to Hulk.

The Collector: You are not heroes. You're monsters. *levitates us with his powers* Undesirable and in poor condition. You're not collectable and you have no value.

The Collector levitates Hulk and I towards a open door that leads to a trash chute.

(Y/n): Don't you dare-

Hulk and I fall several feet and land in a pile of trash, we recover and I'm feeling really down on myself now. Then A-Bomb's floating cameras appear in the room with us.

(Y/n): How humiliating. And, of course, it's all been caught on camera.

Then a mecanical sound is heard and another door opens, but this one has something extremely hot in it.

(Y/n): That's not a teleporter is it?

Hulk: No. It's an incinerator.

(Y/n): Great. Try to use these cursed powers for good and be a hero and I get thrown out with the garbage.

Hulk: Powers don't make a hero. It's the guy beneath them. Whoa!

Some sort of scooper snagged Hulk and is now dragging him towards the incinerator, I grab his hand and try to pull, but I'm not strong enough to do so. I look around and see the doorway out of this room, get an idea and I hop onto Hulk's back.

Hulk: What are you doing?

(Y/n): We're gonna blast through that wall, I'm gonna fly us towards it and heat it up, but this is only gonna work if you're strong enough to break out.

Hulk: Status update: Hulk the strongest one there is!

I nod, grab Hulk and spread my wings ready for take off, I then use a sustained Flamethrower at the wall at the end of the room. Hulk then lifts the scooper off him and I flap my wings hard and accelerate as fast as I can towards the wall. I stop my Flamethrower just before we hit it and Hulk smashes us through it.

(Y/n): *exhale of relief*

Hulk: Nice job, kid.

(Y/n): Thanks. I only wish I could rub it in the haters faces.

Hulk: You gotta learn that you can't control what anyone thinks of you. You can only control what you do.

Not exactly comforting but I see his point as we manage to make it back to the collection room, where The Collector is admiring his collection.

The Collector: Ultra rare, this hero. *looks at Howard the Duck* In near mint condition. Fitting how he's the last of my aquisitions. Now, it's time for Phase 2.

(Y/n): *whispers* Phase two?

Hulk: Watch my back.

I keep a lookout as Hulk leaps for his friends and breaks them out, but doing so set off the alarm and gets Collector's attention.

The Collector: No!

(Y/n): Guys, he's coming back!

Collector: My precious collection! What are you doing?!

Hulk: What's it look like I'm doing?

Despite the fact that A-Bomb let loose a burrito level fart as soon as he got out, Hulk decided to make a run for it.

Hulk: Come on, we'll come back for the others!

I am a little hesitant but follow suit and fly alongside the Hulks.

Collector: Perhaps I'll salvage some meager value from you, once your in pieces! Drones! Hunt down and destroy those defective collectables. It's time to make my collection priceless.

A-Bomb: Make his collection priceless? What's that mean?

The drones give chase and start shooting at us.

Hulk: Work it out later!

We continue down a hall while the drones are slowly catching up to us.

Hulk: Charizard, buy us some time!

(Y/n): Okay! Red, cover fire!

Red Hulk: I'm starting to like this kid!

Red Hulk pulls out his blasters and starts shooting at the drones, while I use my Fire Punch on each hand and slam them into the ceiling and start pulling.

Red Hulk: Anytime, kid!

(Y/n): Wish I were as strong as a Hulk.

I suddenly feel an rapid increase of my physical strength and pull down and cave in the ceiling, blocking the hallway. I look at my clawed hands in amazment.

Red Hulk: Greenie didn't tell us you were that strong.

(Y/n): I... didn't know.

A yellowish glow disappears from my hands, but I am knocked back to reality as the drones start breaking through.

Red Hulk: Regroup with the others, soldier!

I follow Red Hulk and catch up with the others as Hulk smashes open another doorway. I am quick to help A-Bomb and She-Hulk replace the door to slow down the drones. Finally we have a chance to breath, as lights turn on in what appears to be some kind of hangar.

Red Hulk: Okay, what's our plan?

(Y/n): Well, space hoarder said he had a plan to make his collection priceless. How do you make it so your action figures are one of a kind?

A-Bomb: You wreck everyone else's.

She-Hulk: Or, you wreck the factory they came from.

Red Hulk: You mean that maniac is gonna destroy the Earth?!

Hulk: Yup. We need to find whatever he's gonna use and smash it. Look for a big cannon, a giant robot....

(Y/n): *freaks out as I look and point* A really humongous bomb!

Hulk: *looks down and sees it* That'll work. Red?

Red Hulk: Yup, I can disable it.

Hulk: A-Bomb. You help him.

Red Hulk/A-Bomb: I gotta work with him?! *growl at each other*

(Y/n): *lands next to Hulk* You know, if the drones are after us, the collection room may be unguarded.

Hulk: Good point. Jen, use the teleporter and beam everyone out of here. Skaar will cover you.

She-Hulk: Alright, Shaggy, you're with me.

Hulk: (Y/n), you're with me.

(Y/n): *slightly shocked* Uh, Okay then.

I fly after Hulk, as we have the dangerous job of beating the Collector himself. Anybody say, uh-oh. No? Okay, well we make it to the Collector's pilot cabin and-

Hulk: Get him!

Hulk and I charge at Collector, but he simply blasts us with his energy lasers and we crash into the ground.

The Collector: I could hear you coming a galaxy away. Think of how valuable my collection of earthlings will be when they're the last ones left alive. No one on your planet wants you. So why should I? You are unworthy.

(Y/n): *growls* You are really pissing me off, you obsessive little twerp!

The Collector: *flabber-gasted* Obsessive little twerp?!

The Collector suddenly uses energy to show his full size and stands at probably nearly 50 feet tall. He tries to smash us, but we manage to avoid the hit, but Hulk was slower to get up. I saw the Collector readying to blast us, I get in front of Hulk and use a Flamethrower to try and match his laser beams. Quickly though, I start to lose ground again, Hulk then tapped me on the shoulder and said.

Hulk: Use your anger and aim it all at him!

I look back and realize I can make my flames even hotter, so I put every ounce of flame energy I have left in me to finally overpower the Collector's laser beam. I put so much power that my flames started to turn blue until my flames hit the Collector and he screams in agony. Hulk then leaped in, I stopped my flames and punched the Collector out cold.

(Y/n): *breaths heavily*

Hulk: *lands back next to me* Good job.

I am too exhausted to speak and just give a simple thumbs up, until we see there's only a minute left on the bomb.

(Y/n): Only seconds until ka-blooey.

Hulk: Jen! Get us out of here.

Jen: Okay, I've got it. I think I can send everyone back in one shot.

True to her word, She-Hulk beams every single hero back to earth, and as Hulk and I enter the collection room, a hole in the ceiling opens and Red and A-Bomb fall down to the floor.

Hulk: Where have you two been?

Red Hulk: Saving your butts!

The teleporter finally sends us back to Earth before the entire ship blows up.

Later, I return to Avenger's Tower and see Mom in the living room reading, she sees me and smiles, until she sees my torn clothes and some bruises on my face.

Wanda: (Y/n)?! Are you alright?

She runs up to me and starts looking at my bruises.

(Y/n): Yeah, I'm good.

Wanda: What happened?

(Y/n): That's, a really long story.

I end up explaining the whole thing to her and while she was relieved and grateful Hulk and I saved them and the planet, she also scolded me for being so reckless. But finally, I took a really hot bath and warmed up enough to my normal temperature of 7000° F. I walk out into my room and I notice my window has something stuck to my window. I get into my pj's and open said window and see the item's been webbed to it. I look into the city and see a figure web swing away, but it was unmistakeable who it was. I grab the item and pull off the webbing, and see it's an envelope. I open it up and see a disc inside it, I pull it out and pop it into a dvd player. A video picture appears on-screen of Gwen, I hesitate for a few seconds, but hit the 'play' button.

Gwen: *on-screen* Hey, (Y/n). I thought I'd give you a little space to think about recent events we endured. But I wanted to clear the air on a couple things. I wanted to tell you so many times that I was Ghost Spider, but what stopped me was the fear that you'd hate me or be disappointed in me for getting powers I didn't want at first. But now, I love being a hero and I feared you might hate me, since I know how much you hate your powers I couldn't bring myself to tell you. *sniffles* Yes, I should've came out and said something when Kevin got his powers, but I stupidly thought I could protect him, so you didn't have to endure being hated by the public for looking like a monster. *starts sobbing quietly* I-...I-... *sniffles* I just didn't want to choose because it seemed such a hard choice, but now I see it wasn't hard at all, I just made it seem that way so I could keep myself from the heart break of losing another friend. But now look, you don't trust me, you don't hang out with me anymore and I feel just as broken without you. *tries to slow her crying* We endured a lot when we lost Kevin, he was our best friend and because I didn't tell you about us working together, he's dead. I can't fix the past, but I am going to do whatever I can to save our future, I want to be your friend again and honestly, I need you. I'm so sorry, for everything.

The video Gwen leans forward and turns off the camera and the video ends. I sigh and lean back in my chair. I blame myself for Kevin's death just as much as Gwen does to herself. Maybe, I was a little harsh in breaking off our friendship so suddenly like that, but I told myself that it was because I didn't trust Gwen anymore, but really, I was just scared that I'd hurt someone if I lost control of my powers. I come to a decision and go to sleep for the night.

(A/N): And, CUT! Great work, everyone! Lunch is in the mess hall, we got some BBQ today!

Hey! All you really wild readers out there! Strange, but effective chapter I think, don't you? Anyways, as you can see I am finally back on a more regular schedule, but it'll still take a while to work out how to move some stories forward from where they are now, so please continue to be patient. I feel blessed to have all of you who read my stories and give opinions or make references or just have fun in the comments. Thank you. Hope every one of you has a wonderful day/night and I'll see y'all in the next one. PEACE OUT!!!
