Explosive Interest
Y/n stared at the message a bit, wondering what he should say next, he didn't have to as Jennifer had begun typing.
Jennifer
My Name is Jennifer Walters but Tomas probably told you that already😅 may I get your name?
"Jennifer Walters?...No...too much of a coincidence." Y/n thought as her name aligned with the one he heard on the news but before her first and last name were pretty common, he turns off his tv, picks up his notepad and walks to his bedroom, she seemed polite enough so he returned the same courtesy.
My Name is Y/n L/n,Pleasure to make your acquaintance Jennifer, I hope my brother was not a bother to you that night.
No No! He was really kind and polite and I'm not just saying that because he and Nikki are hitting it off 😅😅
Y/n couldn't help but chuckle.
I'm happy to hear that😌 My brother's clumsiness has landed him in trouble plenty of times
Please do not tell him I said that.
Hehe no problem :)
But if we're talking about that night at the bar, can we talk about you? What you did was so brave😮😮😮
Y/n had been used to praise in the Lin kuei but to hear it from some who wasn't aware of his exploits...it felt nice.
Thank you for the compliment jennifer :), i just held my ground, anyone else in my position could have done the same.
No way! He had a gun pointed at your head😰
Heh, would you believe me if i told you I've experienced scarier situations?
After what i saw, i do lol, but hey those guys didn't give you any trouble after did they?
No, i have recent events to thank for that, but I'm only grateful no one at the bar had gotten hurt, I apologize for any stress I may have imposed on you.
I won't lie it was a bit scary but it's sweet of you to apologize 😊
Y/n wasn't aware of the smile that was currently on his face, he took a look at the time and decided to end the conversation..for now.
Thank you Jennifer🙂↕️, I'm afraid however that our current conversation must end as I have who go to work early.
Y/n didn't feel satisfied ending the text like that and continued.
But I wouldn't mind continuing when I am free again.
I completely understand! I actually have to go to work tomorrow too😅😅😅
Have a good day at the restaurant!
Y/n chuckled shaking his head
And you as well, have a good night miss walters. 🌙
Y/n shut off his screen and laid his phone on his chest afterwards, pleasantly surprised that interaction had gone smoothly, but that still didn't mean he was expecting a romantic relationship out of this, he would just see how it goes.
The mystery woman lingered in his mind before he went to sleep.
POV Change, Jennifer.
Jennifer had stopped texting from her kitchen, that was the first interaction shes had with a guy that didn't go awkwardly.
Maybe it's because of her new job, maybe it's because she hadn't shown her face yet, whatever the case may be , Jen couldn't stop the growing smile on her face.
The Jade Palace.
Y/n was currently on his lunch break in the break-room., eating some homemade ribs, wontons and some spare white rice from the kitchen.
Tomas had soon arrived, with his a similar lunch, only instead of ribs and wontons to along with the rice he had spring rolls with chicken and broccoli.
"So...." Tomas trailed with an excited smile as he sat down.
"So..what?" Y/n questioned back as he mixed his rice with his ribs.
"How did it go? You and Jen? " Tomas said as thought it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Y/n shrugged. " it was fine."he said has a he took a bite a food from his chopsticks.
...
"That's it?" Tomas said in shock, he did not wait hours just to hear that response.
Y/n chuckled. " we didn't get to talk much since we had to get to work early." He said as he picked up a wonton. " but from what I can gather, she seems nice." Y/n said biting his wonton and pushing his phone which was on their table towards Tomas.
Tomas had opened it and looked over his small conversation he then smiled. "But I wouldn't mind continuing when I am free again?" Tomas recited with a smirk looking at y/n.
Y/n rolled his eyes. "Don't read into it brother."
"Oh I'm not , this just means there's hope." Tomas said brightly as he gave y/n his phone back. " I got a good feeling in my gut brother and my guts never fails Me."
Y/n raises his eyebrow. " you also said you had a good feeling in your gut when we stole fathers sword and we got grounded for a month."
"...almost never fails me." Tomas corrects himself sheepishly. " but! my point still stands, I really have a good feeling about you, if and when it happens il be there reveling in satisfaction." Tomas said happily.
Y/n just shook his head with a smile. " I wouldn't get my hopes up this early but very well."
Suddenly their boss had popped out of a corner. " 10 minutes left you two!" Reminding the two warriors their lunch break their lunch break was close to ending.
Tomas and Y/n mutually agreed to put their convo on hold and quickly began finishing their lunch. I'm y/Ns mind his mind wandered to Jennifer, he couldn't help but be curious as to where their conversation would head to later.
Later. GLK&H
It was Jens second day at her new job, just yesterday after ending her day of work she had currently handled a couple of errands, buying some larger suits that fit her form comfortably and submitting an application to trade mark the name She-Hulk, recommended
by mr holliway to avoid any confusion and dumb lawsuits, and made it a priority to buy a vehicle that could fit she-hulk comfortably.
Her first day was used as a way to ease her intro everything and it was time to get to work with her first client as a part of this law firm.
"Okay lets get started." Jen says looking through her computer for some extra information on her client. " are you a hero or former super-villain?" Jen asked looking at her client seated in front of her desk.
"Uh...neither. I'm just a guy." The rather large Dan Jermain spoke as he made his hands glow briefly. " or at least I use to be..." he said dejectedly.
Jen nodded and kept a note pad and a pencil ready in case she needed to write anything down. "Tell me what happened."
"Sigh...I use to be just plain ol' Dan jermain, safety inspector for the roxxon energy corporation, one day I was supervising workers up on a catwalk, we were installing danger signs, to let people know that there were vats of hard atomic water below.... And then someone knocked me over.." Dan spoke in frustration. " and I dropped right into a the heart of a radioactive vat, when I came to my body changed." Dan spoke gesturing to his large muscle mass. " I should have died , instead I turned into some kind of atomic Superman!" Dan spoke louder appearing angry about the whole ordeal. " that's my story, that's why I'm suing."
"...um, so let me see if I understand this correctly, you want to sue roxxon, for making you super?" Jen said a little perplexed, this really didn't sound bad.
"Well...yes." Dan said not sure how else to put it.
" he's got a superhero origin story and he's suing for it.....I must be in the twilight zone.." Jen thought in bewilderment, this is certainly not the case she was expecting.
"Look I know how it sounds, but..." Dan said wracking his brain to figure out the best way to explain this. " It feels like I'm at the center of the universe....like every little thing revolves around me..and I hate it, I feel eyes watching me when they never did before, I'm unintentionally eves dropping on conversations whenever I'm around people now... I can even hear all the chatter in this office." Dan spoke in shame. " I use to be able to go to a bar, watch the game but now? It justs feels so pedestrian, not to mention I can hardly feel the beer... but worst of all...Im walking eggshells around my wife and kid, I'm terrified of hurting them, I hate this Ms.walters , is there anything you can do? Anything?" Dan almost begged.
Jen looked over the man with remorse, with a greater understanding of his position she cold see his anguish, he liked his normalcy, getting super powers didn't make things better for him it just a huge inconvenience to his life.
"This is a tricky situation I hope you know but..." she looked at Dan with determination. " you wanna sue roxxon? il do everything in my power to help mr. Jermain." Jennifer spoke with determination.
Dan gave her a hopeful smile. " Thank you-" he began as he lent over her desk however the pressure of his arms broke the desk into forcing Jen to catch her computer screen and keyboard.
"...sorry." Dan said scolding himself mentally.
Jen waved it off with a light smile. "No worries, we got a bunch of spares."
Later. Mall
Jen and Dan had discussed things further until the meeting was over, a couple meetings later and Jen was free from work, Nikki had another date with Tomas but Trish was available so they linked up to do some shopping for some extra clothes, this time for some more casual clothing at home.
"It's good to know guys don't mind the color green." Trish joked taking note of several guys taking looks at Jennifer as they walks to a store.
"Hmhm." Jen giggled as the entered the store. "Thanks for coming Trish, if I'm gonna be in this form more often I'm gonna need a lot of clothes that won't rip on me." Jen said beginning to look over some nearby merchandise.
Trish just waved her off. " anything to hang out." Trish said looking over some stuff Jen might like. " I see you're doing the whole stay green at work thing well." Trish noted as Jen had really started leaning into it fast despite her only being at GLK&H for a couple days now.
Jen looked over herself sheepishly. " yeah,I figure since it's part of the job and every one is a fan myself included why not make it a daily thing." Jen shrugged with a smile. "I've only ever returned normal at home to avoid bending down all the time." Jen joked while looking through some shorts.
"Think you're gonna have to move out?" Trish wondered curiously.
Jen shook her head. " nah, no reason to , plus after the stress I went through looking for it before I am not about to just drop it that easy." Jen said stretching a pair of Jean shorts a bit.
Trish nodded and then thought of something else. " and I see you started talking to that guy from the bar." She spoke teasingly, Nikki had told her the day Jen decided to go for it.
Jen chuckled. " yes I have."
" and? What's he like?" Trish asked curious about the details
" we only talked for a bit last night, there's not much I can tell you." Jen asked looking at another pay of shorts."
"There's gotta be something." Trish said not believing that to be the case.
Jen began thinking a bit. " hm, well he seems nice and very polite...maybe a little old fashioned"
"What makes you say that?" Trish asked tilting her head.
"When he introduced himself to me he said , pleasure to make your acquaintance, mind you it's not like saying that is a bad thing, just didn't expect it since Tomas appeared a little more casual, it's different.." jen ordered with keen interest, such a small interaction and she wanted to learn more.
Trish saw the look on Jen's face and smirked. " interested are we?"
Jen gained a playful smile . " maybe a little..he said I could text him again today so that's a good sign right?"
"Of course, I'd go as far as to say he's interested in you too." Trish spoke then shifted to another situation regarding that. " but I gotta ask again, you sure hiding now you look is a good idea?" Trish asked a bit concerned
"I know it's a little risky." Jen admitted, e there was always a risk of the other person losing interest in you if they hadn't gotten a good look beforehand. " but I think this is a good way to see he could be into me for me and not be influenced by how I look."
"Well I can't dispute that but what about when he found out you." Trish emphasized, reminding Jen that this wasn't her base form.
Jen gained a look of concern understanding that was still a bit of an issue but she shook her head not wishing to worry about that so early. " il cross that bridge when we get to it."
Trish was a bit worried but if Jen wasn't to concerned she wouldn't let herself be. " if you say so."
"By the way is this the best we can do for you regarding clothes?"
Jen raised her eye brow. What do you mean? I like these." Jen said holding up a large shirt with an I love LA logo on it.
"No I mean, these are still oversized clothes, when you power down, you're gonna be dressed like it's still the early 2000s." Trish said.
"Yeah that's true but I mean it's not like there's any other options for me, I tried get tighter clothing while shopping with Nikki and I ended up having to pay for few ripped items." Jen spoke remembering that despite being comfortable, her movement combined with her muscle mass was just to much strain on the material, causing them to rip apart.
Trish wracks her brain and realization flashes in her eyes. " maybe not... there's rumors of a clothing specialist that could help with this sort of thing, no clue how true this is but it wouldn't hurt if me and Nikki looked into it." Trish speaks with a confident smile.
Jen smiles at her blonde friend, grateful she was even willing to go this for her. " alright." Jen then playfully points at her. " but only when you have the time, this isn't that important."
Trish waves her off. " ah please how many times have you helped me? This is just me returning one of those favors for a change."
Jen chuckles and lifts up some booty shorts. " ooo i like these!"
Trish opened her mouth in surprise. " jen! Since when!?" She would have never considered booty shorts before.
"Since i got the ass to wear them" jen said playfully making her butt shake.
The two friends shared a laugh and continued their shopping day.
They had soon finished and jen had dropped trish off home, she was now heading home herself in human form.
"Whos that girl....🎶"
Jens ringtone was suddenly going off as she saww nikki was calling her while her phone was perched on its mount, she answered.
"Hey Nikki whats up?" Jen greeted.
"Girl whatever your doing drop it right now!" Nikki yelled suddenly.
"Whoa whoa, slow down Whats wrong?" Jen asked now concerned by how alarmed her friend sounded.
"Its Dan, i don't all the details i just know hes going a little crazy and the authorities are involved, i don't who else could talk sense to him, or fight him is shit hits the fan!"
"Okay, Okay just tell me where he is ." Jen asked immediately getting ready to change course.
"Im send the adress now, be careful jen." Nikki urgered over the phone.
"Of course." Jen said as the call ended and immediately got the address.
Jen looked to the camera with slight concern. " guess things were just too peaceful, pray for me guys." Jen said as she turned on the gps and began heading over to her destination.
It didn't take long for jen to get to the ruckus, especially since there was a faint glow in the distance that clearly let her know who was responsible.
Jen slowed down her vehicle as she police cars, forming a barriar and keeping civilians out, jen quickly transformed as she got out of the car and saw a particularly angry Dan behind the barrier, with a worrying glow around him.
"Whats happening?" Jen quickly asked one of the officers.
" mr. Jermaine is loosing is , neighbors said his wife and kid left the house and now hes loosing control, weve tried talking to him but nothing." The officer explained , concern in his voice. " why are you here she-hulk?"
"Im his lawyer, i need to speak with him." Jen said moving to go in, but the officer blocked her path.
"Whoa im sorry but i can't let anybody through hes too dangerous" The officer said firmly.
"He needs help and i may be the only one who can get through to him right now and danger? Im a hulk, name someone more suited for this?" Jen said looking the officer in the eye.
She actually wasn't sure what could happen, shes bullet proof but she doesn't know about blast proof but she needed to help dan.
The officer looked for a reason and to deny her entry but he and even his fellow officercs couldn't . " we can't guarantee your safety." The officer said stepping aside.
"I understand." Jen said walking through, making sure to approach dan slowly who was on the fetal position muttering to himself.
"Dan?..." jen asked gently.
"Go away..." dan spoke bitterly.
"I just want to-
Dan suddenly blasted at the ground near jen , making her jump back. "LEAVE!!" He shouted in anger.
"Dan please i just want to talk, want happened?" Jen asked quickly as the officers had begun taking aim.
"My Family Left, they left, everything just keeps going wrong!!!" Dan yells in anger his body charging up.
"Dan.." jen speaks remorsefully
" this is hell ms.walters and Im tired of it .... " Dan said as he began charging further and his body began to glow fiercely.
"Dan?...dan what are you doing?!" Jen said as she didn't like this out put of energy.
"Im blowing up!...." Dan said gritting through his teeth, as his body began to shape. "What the hells the point now?! im better off dead, don't you understand?! I just want things to go back to the way they were! I WANT MY OLD LIFE BACK!!!" Dan Crier out as his energy was so bright that people and officers began covering their eyes and bracing themselves
Jen didn't know what to do, this wasn't something she could stop, she couldn't call the avengers and she sure as hell couldn't punch this problem in face like she did in the courtroom attack.
Dan was gonna die and many others would too, so she decided to play a gamble.
She began to shift into a human and covered her eyes to avoid blinding herself.
"Stop, what are you doing?!" Dan said witnessing her turn smaller.
" if this what you want then don't let me stop you!" Jen yelled walking forward.
"Stay back i-il do it!" Dan yelled in uncertainty.
"No you wont, because that's not who you are!" Jen yelled. " i get it, you didn't ask for these powers, i know this more than you realise, and i know you don't want to do this!." Jen spoke walking closer to, looking as best as she can as the light made it extremely difficult. " think about your wife, your daughter whatever is going on , they wouldn't want this, please dan, keep fighting, for them!" Jen almost begged.
Dan looked pensive, jen braced herself for whatever might happen, and soon...the glow began to slowly die down.
Jen quickly transformed again as she watched Dan power down.
Dan fell to his knees. " im sorry....." dan as he began wiping away tears.
Jen walked up to him and kneeled down. " its gonna be okay dan."
"What...what do i do know?" Dan asked in a less than confident tone.
"Now?" Jen asked placing a hand on his shoulder. " we team up and fight." Jen said giving him a confident smile.
——
Boom!
A little super situation as jen adjusts to her new job.
Sorry if you guys were expecting a full court-scene , i decided to avoid them, i don't have the knowledge to deliver a good one but il see if there is a work-around
Let me know your thoughts!
