Los Angeles, California,  2024, Wednesday ,
2 pm.

Los Angeles, known for its tropical beaches, its food and diverse culture and most importantly, The Entertainment Capital of the World,  you may see a celebrity in L.A more often than you find change on a sidewalk.

The only thing L.A doesn't have to its name is a gallery of Super Heroes, No team to speak of , or a signature like a certain spider or devil from new york, and while crime is prevalent in L.A there are still those willing to fight the good fight even without super powers.

At The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office various lawyers work to upholding the law whether it is as a prosecutor or a defense attorney.

One in particular was currently in her office, a short curly haired woman in a business suit and she was currently fighting hard against her greatest nemesis, Paper Work.

This was Jennifer Walters.

Jen looked up from her work and began addressing the audience.

"Jeez it's about time, it's been weeks." Jen said as she leaned on the table with a bright smile. "Hi guys, sorry it took this long to see me , you can blame the author for that one." Jen said jokingly.

"Hey! Im doing my best, i got a life too you know." The Author spoke, though only Jen was aware of his presence.

"Oh i understand that but don't you think you should have covered my origin story before coming out with more books with only Bios at this current point in time?" Jen said to the disembodied voice with a raised eyebrow

This clearly caught the author off guard if his stuttering was anything to go by.

"I-I...W-Well...At least I'm here now!" The author yelled having no real counter against that.

"Easy, Im just joking." Jen expressed in a lighthearted tone. "I know you care, now you just sit back and do your thing." Jen said as she gave the voice two thumbs up.

"Yeah yeah..." The Author said shaking his head, if had one anyway.

"Hehe." Jen chuckled then once again looked at the audience as she began stacking her papers and putting them away in a brief case. " The previous chapters were cool right?, not gonna lie it's kind of hard to beat super powered ninjas." Jen said sheepishly.

Jen then put her papers within a folder and gave the audience a confident smile. "Cant promise anything but please stick around, you're in for a treat." She said with a wink as she exited her office.

It was to time to head home, workers began pouring out while Jen was currently waiting for her paralegal and best friend Nikki Ramos to finish packing her stuff.

"Allllllright!" Nikki dragged out finishing getting her stuff as clipped her case closed.

"I keep telling you , if you were a little more organized it wouldn't take so long." Jen said teasing her friend, this happened very frequently.

"Ok Mom." Nikki groaned playfully. " jokes aside girl, we got to talk." Nikki said gaining a serious look as her and Jen began walking out into the parking lot.

"Whats up?" Jen said confused, Nikki hardly ever got so serious.

"That case you're taking is whats up." Nikki said in a serious tone. " Why did you agree to defend that guy? Anybody who is mixed in with Nick Trask is bad news"

Nick Trask is a notorious crimelord in L.A, involved in drug smuggling, robbery and Murder, He held a-lot of power and evaded prosecution as a result, a man by the name of Monkton is framed for the murder Nicks bodyguard recently approached jennifer walters to represent him in court, which she accepted.

"Cmon Nikki, you know Nick has slipped through the laws fingers and now i have a chance to really expose him for this foul play." Jen explained as she and Nikki walked through the parking lot.

"I get that but you know what nick does to people that cross him." Nikki expressed worriedly.

"I know that Nikki believe me." Jen said, she would be lying if she didn't fear how Nick would do after this. " but I can't, i refuse to let that stop me from doing the right thing." Jen said firmly, this is what she worked so hard for, she would not backdown.

"I know and I'm your biggest fan for that, i just don't want you to get hurt, is that so wrong?" Nikki expressed with a sad pout.

" Of Course not." Jen said gratefully as she gave Nikki a hug, Nikki immediately hugged back. " Thanks for worrying." Jen expressed, she didn't have many friends and she was truly grateful for the ones she did have.

"Always Sis." Nikki said with a smile, the two friends detached and soon reached Jen's Prius Prime. " but enough of this downer convo, wanna go out tonight?" Nikki asked with a hopeful smile.

" I can't nikki I'm sorry." Jen said with an apologetic smile as she entered her car. " My Cousin Bruce is coming to L.A, I haven't seen him in years."

"Boooo, fine but hey you can still go out saturday right?" Nikki then held her hands together "please say yes, it's Trish's day off" Nikki pleaded , Trish was their mutual best friend and had a different job so it was hard to find time to hang out together.

"Yes Nikki I will, like I would miss a day with my favorite girls." Jen said with a bright smile as she put the keys in the ignition.

"Yes! That's what im talking about." Nikki said cheerfully. " and hey who knows, we might finally get you a man while we are at it." Nikki said teasingly

"Okay.." Jen said rolling her eyes with a smile and looked at her phone . " Bruce landed a few minutes ago , il catch you later nikki." Jen said as she began reversing out of her parking space.

" Drive safe girl!." Nikki yelled waving off her friend in her car.

Soon Jen was off , her next stop, Los Angeles International Airport

Later

Jen soon arrived at the airport and was currently waiting with a sign to signal Bruce it was her, she thankfully wasn't late as she knew the process of going through security and getting luggage was a process that took 20 to 30 minutes.

She didn't  have to wait  long as she saw a man  with glasses and his right arm  in a sling walking around   with a large carry on, currently looking around looking for someone, Jen knew the face well.

"Bruce, Over Here!" Jen yelled jumping a bit and waving her hand trying to get her cousins attention.

The man known as Bruce Banner turned his head towards the voice.

Bruce Banner gained a bright smile "Fuzz ball! He yelled as we walked towards her.

"Hi!" Jen said as she walked up to her cousin and gave him a big hug. "Oh my god, it's been years." Jen said as they broke the hug.

"and your still short." Bruce teased with smirk.

"Hey!" Jen exclaimed and swatted his arm playfully

"Kidding hehe." Bruce chuckled " So how you doing cuz, aunt elaine told me your a district attorney." Bruce said in an impressed tone as they began walking.

" Still Dealing with student loans but it's worth it." Jen said with a prideful smile, she worked to get to wear she is. " what about you my brainiac cousin? What've you been up to and.." Jen trailed off looking at the arm brace with machinery bruce had on. "that? She asked as she pointed at his right arm.

"Oh uh.." Bruce said as he looked at his arm. "The answer to that requires a lot of context" Bruce said sheepishly, knowing a simple answer would lead to more questions.

" Well we got time" Jen sais , really curious to hear what Bruce had been up to.

"Well if you're sure" Bruce said willing to tell her his story " The Place I rented is actually far from here so I should have time to tell you everything along the way" Bruce said as they were now out of the airport.

"Awesome!" Jen said with an excited smile

Little to their knowledge, they were being observed by two individuals in a car with tinted windows, with the passenger in particular using a spyglass to hone in on Jennifers face.

"Is that her?" The Driver Asked.

"Yeah, No doubt about it." The passenger said putting away his spyglass.

"Good, let's get this done." The driver said turning on his car.

Jen and bruce began driving out the parking lot, neither of them aware of the black car tailing them.

Later

Bruce places was quite a distance away so it give him time to really explain what he's been up to, his time in the avengers, how he was off world for a bit and of course the war with thanks, it was a-lot to take in.

"It's all because i made this little device which keeps me in human form." Bruce said showing her the device on his left arm.

Jen  was at a loss of words for a bit.

"That is the longest answer to what've you been up to? I've ever heard." Jen said with an astonished look.

"You asked me, so i answered."  Bruce said with an amused look.

Bruce then pointed  out something he didn't notice when he got in the car.

"and whats with the chopsticks in the Cheetos?" Bruce said holding up the bag.

"So you dont get the dust on your fingers, and its great for sharing!" Jen said as if the answer was so obvious.

"Heh il admit, that's pretty smart." Bruce chuckles as he took a cheeto.

"Your not the only genius in the family." Jen said with a confident smile.

"Well theres also Ched." Bruce said with a smirk as he took another cheeto.

Jen playfully rolled her eyes, their mutual cousin ched was definitely something but combining a burrito and a taco is hardly what she would call genius.

"Okay, well i would love to go back to my little theory from earlier."  Jen said with a smirk.

"Oh God." Bruce said shaking his head sheepishly, she had this silly theory about captain america never loosing his virginity.

"But before i do, there is something interesting about what you've told me." Jen said keeping her eyes on the road.

"Really?" Bruce said interested, willing to cover something in more detail.

" You mentioned these....ninjas..." Jen said recalling warriors bruce talked about briefly.

"Ah yeah, the warriors that me and tony could never track." Bruce said nodding then looked at Jen with an amused expression. "And they're not ninjas, we have reason to believe they are more than that"  Bruce clarified.

"Warriors who stay in the shadows? Dark clothes? Definitely ninjas." Jen said convinced.

"Hehe." Bruce couldn't help but chuckle, she wasn't exactly wrong.

" So you said , they just appear randomly whenever theres serious danger, why weren't they at the big fight with Thanos?" Jen asked curiously, you would think when the fate of the universe is at stake, all hands would be on deck.

"Well I'm not really sure, its possible they couldn't have known, and if they did, we dont know they motivations, their goals, or where they are from, so why they weren't there is unclear." Bruce explained what he thought.

"Seems kind of chicken to me." Jen said with a frown, lives were at stake why wouldn't they fight.

" I get it but we dont know their situation." Bruce said not wishing to disparage a group he knew little about.

" I guess..." Jen said not entirely convinced. " do you think they'll ever turn up?"

" its hard to say." Bruce said in thought. " Theres always rumors surrounding them, most recently in Hong Kong, but its always a dead-end,  we will just have to wait and see, and i hope they aren't an enemy if they are." Bruce said wishing to avoid another world ending crisis.

" I heard that." Jen agreed wholeheartedly.

"You have reached your destination" The GPS notified.

Jen soon drove up and parker in Bruce's drive way, it was a simple home,  nothing too fancy  and they weren't even in the city anymore , bruce wasn't  a glamorous guy either way so this fit him well.

" Finally here, Please tell me you have coffee maker"Jen said in a hopeful town as she had bought coffee  powder while she was waiting at the airport.

"Like i would have a home without one." Bruce said with a smile, coffee was essential, especially when he was running experiments.

" Perfect! Now about my captain america theory.." Jen trailed off

"Here we go." Bruce said amused once again.

SKIIIIIRT!!!!

The two were startled by the noise and saw a black car speeding down the road down their direction, before either of them could prepare the car rolled the windows down and a man with a firearm took aim and started firing.

Bruce and Jen tried to run inside  but a couple  of the bullets landed on the intended target.

"AGH!!" Jen cried out in pain as two rounds nailed her back.

"JEN!!" Bruce Yelled in worry sprinting to his fallen cousin.

The Car Soon began speeding away, the passenger of the vehicle appearing dissatisfied.

" Why are we leaving i could have kept firing?!" The passenger asked, wanting to make sure the woman was down.

"We made too much noise, we need to go before the L.A.P.D  show up, if she survives we'll know dont worry." The Driver said calming down his partner.

"If you say so." The passenger said putting away his gun.

The Car escaped and bruce was currently trying to keep jen awake.

"Jen, Jen! Just hold on!" Bruce yelled as he carried bride style and kicking open the door to his home.

"Bruce..." Jen said deliriously, the blood loss starting to cause her to fade in and out of consciousness.

"Don't Die On Me Jen!" Bruce pleaded as he went down to his basement.

Bruce had some medical equipment that she could hook Jen up to,  he laid her down on a mattress he had set there, he grabbed some medicinal gel and laid it on her wounds to stop the bleeding, removing the bullets posed to big of a risk so the gel would have to do for now.

She was pale, bruce looks at his blood covered hands and the trail of blood was on the floor.

"Jesus, shes gonna need a blood transfusion, but from where?." Bruce said stressed as he paced back and forth.

Bruce considered his options, he could contact jens family and drive but he was too far out, Jen wouldn't make it, the ambulance would take to much time as well and its not like he would find a willing participant in his neighborhood, it would take to much time just figuring out who had the same blood-type as her.

"The only option i have is...me" Bruce thought feeling what he could only describe as dread.

Bruce say down on a nearby chair rubbing his face, looking for any other option, it couldn't be him, it just couldn't, He could save her life but if mixes his blood with hers she going to change.

She is going to become a hulk....

"No no no..." Bruce said in a frightened tone, he couldn't do this, he just couldn't, he may have been in control now but giving Jen his blood would put her through all the pain and misery he had to deal with, having to remain in control, away from loved ones, hunter if anyone believed she was dangerous.

Bruce then looked at jen, still suffering, she didn't have alot of time, and he was the only one who could save her life, what would he tell her parents if he didn't.

Bruce took in a shaky breath and steeled himself for what he was about to do.

He went to a nearby cabinet and grabbed a syringe and thin plastic tubes, he then grabbed another a plastic bag.

Bruce got to work and began filling up the bag with his own blood, patiently waiting for it to fill.

When it did he quickly went to the iv pole and placed the bag on it, attaching the plastic tubes to it, he then gently grabbed jens arm, making a small incision on her arm to place the tube where his blood would go into her blood stream.

Bruce sat down and saw his blood going down the tubes and into her arm....it was done.

Bruce hunched over and rubbed his face with his hands, he began to silently weep, she didn't deserve this.

"Im sorry....im so..sorry." Bruce quietly wept , as he was subjecting her to the hell he went through, this shouldn't have happened, this was never supposed to happen.

Bruce then to rubbed away his tears and tried to calm himself, and looked at his cousin, and began to think about the attempt on her life.

"For someone to make an attempt on your life in broad daylight ...." Bruce trailed off, wondering who she had angered, and Jen was a kind soul so he knew for a fact it must have been a case she was connected to as a district attorney, some criminal wanting revenge.

Bruce stood up from his chair, that could all be figured out later, jen still needed proper medical treatment something he couldn't provide efficiently, so he went upstairs, deciding to call the authorities and notify them of what happened.

"I need to make sure Jen doesn't hulk out here, break this all down to her gently" Bruce thought as he began marking down 911,  he then thought about the laptop he had in his carry on. " and i may have to go to my lab in Mexico, the farther away the better." Bruce thought as he waited for 911 to pick up.

Several Hours Later.

Bruce had notified the authorities of the situation and Jen had been taken to the nearest hospital it was small but it would do the trick, bruce began pulling some strings to get a plane available to fly Jen out to his lab in Mexico, believing she would be safe in the hospital.

In The Meantime, jennifer was on a bed hooked up to an iv in a hospital gown, then she began to shift, she was waking up.

"Ngh.." Jen sounded opening her eyes, which proved difficult with the bright light over her head.

Soon her eyes adjusted and she looked around, she was on a hospital bed, and it very late as she noticed the night sky out nearby window..

"Ugh." Jen grunted as she shifted more comfortably on her pillow, which proved tricky with the subtle pain in her back.

"Ah Miss Walters." A Masculine voice said entering the room.

Jen looked to see a doctor of Korean descent, Dr. Lee his name tag said.

"What ..happened?" Jen said still waking up and unaware why she was in the hospital.

"There was an attempt on your life, two bullets pierced your back, your cousin had called and you were brought here." Dr. lee explained a she stood at her bed side.

Then Jen began to remember, parking at the drive way, the black car,  the bullets flying and that excruciating pain, she grimaces at the memory.

"That explained the annoying back pain." Jen groaned.

"I understand, thankfully the bullets didn't injury your spine or your kidneys and the bullets were  removed with no issue." Dr. Lee informed with a smile.

"Sweet, i knew i was made from tough stuff." Jen still a bit weak but  had a smile nonetheless.

"Hehe, well it's good to see you in good spirits, your cousin bruce said he would comeback and he covered the bill so no need to think about that, in the mean time just get some rest, you need anything we got workers nearby." Dr. lee said  as he adjusted her pillow and blankets.

"Thanks Doc." Jen said with a grateful smile.

"My pleasure." Dr. Lee nodded and soon walked out.

When he did jen began staring at the ceiling, her mind beginning to wonder about the man who attacked her.

"To shoot me in daylight,  they must've been very desperate, why would anyone want to take me out?" Jen said, she doesn't believe has wronged anybody, but then she gained a look of realization. " Im representing Monkton, Nick trask must have wanted me out of the picture to save his skin, shit..." jen groaned mentally, she knew the risks but she didn't think that lunatic would order a hit like this.

" Might have to be more discreet from here on out, maybe bruce knows a good place in can chill until the court date rolls around." Jen thought pensively considering what she can do when she is released from the hospital.

Jen was broken out of her thoughts as she heard the door to her room open, she saw three doctors enter.

" Oh I didn't need anything." Jen said thinking they were here to assist here.

" Oh but you do need something miss walters." The front man said snidely. " A deadly reminder that no one crosses Nick Trask...." The false doctor growled out.

Jens eyes widened and fear coursed through her system.

"HELP!!" Jen screamed out as two of the men held her down preventing her from getting up. " HEEEEELP!!!!!" Jen cried out hoping someone would hear pleas.

"Pipe down bitch, we took care of all possible witnesses." The front man said as he pulled out a rag and brown container and began pouring it on the rag.

"No...." Jen said petrified, Dr.Lee was killed because of her.."

"Aw don't cry." The leader chuckled as he approached jen. "You're going to be joining them soon." He said with a sinister grin as he planted the rag on her face firmly covering her mouth and nose so that she inhaled the chloroform.

Jen could do nothing, she felt her consciousness fading as her lungs begged for air, her mind began flashing back to what she cared about the most, nikki and trish, bruce, her parents.

"Im going to die..." jen thought painfully, she was going to die in a hospital bed and there was nothing she could do.

Then ...Jen felt something, a feeling unlike anything before, like an unknown force began jumpstarting her heart, she felt it coursing through her her veins , her muscles were tightening, her heart was beating intensely.

"What the...?" One of the goons said, shocked at what he was seeing.

Jens eyes began glow a fierce shade of green.

Seconds later, the three goons were being throwned against the walls.

"Ugh!!" One of the goons groaned

"The hell just happened.." the other goon dazed from the sudden attack.

The leader shook his head and look up and what he saw stunned him.

"What in gods name...?" The leader said in complete shock.

Gone was the impish woman, this...this was something else.

Now stood a 6 ft 7 beast with wild green hair and skin, and a ripped hospital gown, she was glaring down at the three men, wanting nothing more than to tear the men apart.

"RAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!" Jennifer roared in pure anger, her muscles clenched.

"What The Hell Is that ?!" The Goon yelled out very afraid by this new woman.

"It Doesn't matter just kill it!!" The other goon said as picked the iv pole that was on the ground and took a swing.

Jen ducked and grabbed her mattress with one hand and bashed the goin with it , knocking him out once he slammed into the wall, blood leaking from his head.

"Shit, Run!!!" The leader exclaimed as he took the goon and ran out the hall, heading for the exit.

Jen wasted no time and bolted after then, with only one thought in mind, inflict pain on the people that hurt her.

"SHOOT HER!" The leader shouted out to other goons that were watching the hell as he ran past them.

They appeared confused but once they saw green woman charging down the hall they wasted no time opening fire.

To their shock the bullets didn't even knick jennifer, in fact she looked angrier.

Jen closed the distance and proceeded to push kick a goon through a wall, she then proceeded to use her forearm to bat the other attacker away, not only sending him flying across the hall but making his arm bend in a way it was not supposed to.

Jen booked it to the exist and saw the leader and his goon desperately trying to get their car started.

"GRRRRR!" Jen growled tightening her fists.

"GO GO GO!" The Goon said terrified as he saw jen gaining on them.

The car soon sped off but they wouldn't get far, Jen ripped a stop sign off the grand and hurled with almost perfect accuracy at the cars back right wheel.

The wheel was destroyed the rolled several times across the road before finally stopping in place, the windows now busted as a result.

Jen stomped over to the car, when she got in front of it the goon was unconscious and The leader was nursing his bleeding face, he gained a look of fear as he gazed at the raging woman in front of him.

"Wait Don't!!" The Leader cried out desperately holding out his hand since surrender.

Jen was deep in anger to consider mercy, she just wanted to crush him.

"RAAHHH!" Jen said raising her arms and preparing to pummel the two men.

"JEN NO!"

That was all jen heard before she felt something large tackle her, the back of her head hit the concrete harshly and everything was blank after that.

Boom!

Feels good to get this chapter out :)

Took alot of notes from the comics as you can see, with some unique bits of course :)

The fourth wall bit was fun for me, i do want to do more scenes like that but since this will naturally be a
more serious than the show , i want to integrate it when it feels appropriate.

As i probably said before im going be following the canon of the show while making some changes , and Inteligencia will not be the main bad guy , i could make them a background villain but im not sure, reason being that revenge porn sequence was done really well

Also the She-hulk fight scene in this chapter was inspired by this

Let Me Know Your Thoughts!
