Hello. A close friend of mine said that I should talk to you. Especially since heâs, well, you from another universe? (What am I doing?) Anyway, my nameâs Lucille and itâs nice to meet you, Dr. Banner. Hope youâre doing well and not too weirded out.
Hello, Lucille. Strange, but pleased, to make your acquaintance. I am somewhat opening up to these alternate realities, the more they are thrust upon me. I am no worse for wear, thank you for asking. Was there something specific you wanted to talk about?
I completely understand, believe me. All of this is new to me as well. But I come in peace, and if you ever need someone there that has been through what youâre going through, Iâll be there. Itâs been an incredible journey.
@doctor-brucebanner
Thank you, Doctor, Iâll remember that. And thank you for your ask.
It seems like the multiverse is working in mysterious ways again. My name is Dr. Robert Bruce Banner⊠and I am also the Hulk.

âŠ
Heâs speechless. XDDD - Mun
Iâm sorry, I, uh⊠Iâm sorry. I believe you, Doctor, itâs just Iâm grappling with the ambivalence of meeting another whoâs⊠you know⊠you always hope thereâs no one else suffering out there, and yet that small part of you is looking for solidarity in someone who understands. A bitter poison to swallow.
Our blog is a safe space, Bruce. Drop by anytime. - Mun
Yes! Yes, come by anytime, our door is always open. Thank you for your ask, Bruce.
Hello, my anonymous friend. Thank you for your ask. It would seem that your question is more oriented towards my mun, so with that in mind, I will redirect you towards them.
*crash* WHATâS GOOD BUCKERS?
âŠHi! Howâs it hanging? Someoneâs asking little, olâ me about my 70s Hulk awakening, hmm? Iâll sum it up as best as I can as itâs kind of a long story. Iâll leave a TLDR at the end.
I was 14, going on 15, and since I had no life, another long story, I was randomly searching the TV guide that day. Looking for something interesting to watch in the early afternoon, I happen to come across âIncredible Hulkâ on the SciFi Channel. It caught my attention because at first I thought it was a cartoon until I noted the channel and the one hour time slot per episode. Thatâs when I realized this was a live action deities series that I had never even heard about until then. I remembered watching some of 2003 Hulk on tv once while I was in a hotel and so I thought, well, not doing anything better and turned in.
I came in on the tail end part of The First part one and then all of part two. I tell you, when I saw Davidâs eyes go white for the very first time, it was cosmic. It. I came out of that hour and five minutes a changed person. I caught the bug and wanted more. I was pleased to find there was another marathon in later time and was determined to watch then.
Then the next day, something else happened. I was perusing the guide again and noted TV Land having a special on called The 100 Greatest TV Quotes and Catchphrases and was like, âOh I love that kinda stuff!â and tuned in. It was a commercial break but that soon ended and the program began again. Do you know what the first quote was that they continued the countdown on?
âDonât make me angry, you wouldnât like me when Iâm angry.â
I immediately thew the remote across the bed, lifted my head to the heavens and shouted, âWhat are you trying to tell me!?â I knew then and there this television show was meant to be in my life. I didnât know why, but I had this nagging feeling that I was supposed to find this show and I was supposed to hold onto it.
I became a super fan overnight. I found every image I could of the series, read all the Wikipedia articles about the show and actors, read every fanfiction, purchased all the DVD box sets with my poor money, I was even a prominent member of an old, popular Incredible Hulk discussion board back when those were still a thing.
Little did I know how much this show would truly mean to me at the time. Thanks to this show, I was able to get through some of the hardest years of my life. It built a solid foundation into me of how to be and how to treat people and it continues to mold my character to this day.
I have made many pieces of art inspired by it, I have met Lou Ferrigno himself (he is so tall), and I have an autograph from the showâs creator and producer, Kenneth Johnson, which I hold very dear. I have even indoctrinated some of my friends into the Cult of Banner and have connections with fans from all over the world.
I owe more to this show than I could possibly ever give. It continues to be a prime source of strength for me and I will continue to hold it until the end of my days. I have lots of plans surrounding this show, like a cosplay shoot as Dr David Banner (with the white eyes), acquiring a 70s Hulk inspired statue, and obtaining an autograph from Lou Ferrigno. One day, I hope to be a part of a70 Incredible Hulk homage of some kind. Iâll act, Iâll sing, Iâll lend my extensive knowledge, iâll do what I must do to ensure this fantastic show remains known for years to come.
TLDR: Saw the show on SciFi and it made its home in my heart. đ
Peace! âïž
And there you have it. Thank you for your ask, Anonymous. You be good to yourself. Be safe.

Okay, I did one for myself, but what about my teenaged superhero and alter, May Vashal? Her tastes are quite similar to mine. Again, for convenience sake, I will not be including plushies stored in the cardboard box. Just the ones I currently have out.
To kick things into high gear, we start with the only entry in the small competition. This little Fluttershy has a brushable mane and tail and is customized with a custom kandi necklace. Got this one from Toys R Us before the closed. This plushie would fit easily in any backpack, but the hair could easily become a rats nest, if not careful. Itâs also too small to really snuggle.
Now we begin the medium section of contestants. This is a Zippermouth plush of alien form Stitch I picked up at my local comic book shop. Heâs customized with a custom kandi bracelet and multiple piercings on his face. He also has two Atlantis the Lost Empire earrings. This plush just screams May. Makes an ideal cuddle buddy, due to his soft and plush fur.
May loves conventions, so it would make sense that she has a convention plush or two. Her choice out of the ones we have is Everfree Northwestâs mascot, Marina the Orcapony. I picked her up at con back in 2018. I customized her too with a kandi necklace. Seeing a pattern here? Sheâs ideal cuddling size and despite her long body, can be stuffed inside a backpack.
âDoo da la, la!â Itâs a Rainbow Kuriboh! I got this plushie from my state fair. It has a custom kandi bracelet and still has the tag attached. I liked the artwork. This plush is all over faux fur so it would get messy. Itâs a good hugging size. Itâs also rather plump. It could fit in a backpack, but it would take up a lot of space.
Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater. We have a large plushie in this competition. Say hello to this Squishmallow we affectionately call PB. I didnât get this anywhere glamorous, just my local Winco. Itâs a larger plush, but is very squishy so it could theoretically be stuffed and crammed into a backpack. Perfect for cuddles and can double as a pillow.
These plushies are all fine and good, but I know exactly what plush toy May would have with her.
This right here is Mayâs pansexual pride rabbit. We got this from Mysterious/American McGee. They have all kinds of pride themed bunnies. This one is a special edition. Itâs decked out with a custom kandi necklace. This plush is so soft and would easily stuff into a backpack. May, for sure, would be carrying this plush with her.
And those are the plushies I think May might carry with her while on the road, from the plushies I currently have out. Iâll store her plushies in my storage unit too so we can pick and choose while hitchhiking.
Of course May has a pansexual rabbit. I think May might actually be omnisexual, but she hasnât had the term brought to her attention. Again, a lovely collection of stuffies. Thank you for sharing with us.
My brain is not a friendly place. I keep making plans for a new cosplay, one Iâve been wanting to do for awhile now, and my brain keeps telling me to cease myself, just because Iâm making plans to spend money on it. My brain doesnât like it when I spend money on anything. It seems to be quiet when Iâm paying bills and such, but then it gets angry with me when I buy things for myself to keep me happy and living. Whatâs a poor enby to do?
I got an idea! I think @askdrdavidbanner and I are gonna take a small trip to the local Easter bunny. Hereâs the catch, Iâm dressed in my fursuit and Dr David Banner is my handler.
Happy Easter, Mun. I know you donât like holidays, so allow me to make yours a little more pleasant. Thank you for your ask.
đ°Â  â take pictures with a cute/creepy easter bunny ( bonus points if one of them is the bunny! )
Dr David Banner was in a tough spot. He didnât like going out to crowded, public places. Lots of people, much that could go wrong. He said he was on the fence, but the mun was adamant. âI need a handler.â they said. âIt wonât be for long. Just one picture.â Going to see the Easter bunny is something many people do every year, but not many go to see the famous mascot dressed in their own animal suit.
David and the mun stood in the photo op line, the mun dressed head to toe in faux fur, upholstery foam, and hot glue. They were wearing their fursuit, Rasper the Fox, a white, red, and brown fox character. They had everything. Big paws, a long tail, and an animal head, all brought together by a furry body suit. Children in line who came for the Easter icon, quickly shifted their attention to the short foxy character waiting for their turn. David stood close to the mun and watched as the kids pet Rasperâs fur, smiling and excited there were two furry characters at the mall that day.
âRemember to pet her gently.â said David to the kids as they swarmed Rasper. Multiple little hands ran across Rasperâs plush fur. Rasper wiggled at the touch and did a little dance. Parents with their cameras ready asked for and took photos of their children interacting with the furry. Rasper loved the attention and happily obliged them. She posed cutely with the kids and lifted her head towards were she believed the camera were.
While posing, a young boy came behind them and grabbed Rasperâs tail, giving it a big tug. Rasper felt the motion and yelped, quickly whipping around to face the perpetrator. She stared down the child with her paws on her hips in disappointment.
âNow, now. Thatâs not nice.â said David. He got down on one knee to get closer to the boyâs height and spoke to him. âItâs not nice to pull on an animalâs tail. They deserve kindness and respect, just like you. Now, can you say sorry to Rasper?â The boy listened to Davidâs words. He nodded and turned to Rasper.
âSorry Rasper.â he apologized. Rasper did a tiny dance and held her arms open to hug the boy. The boy looked over to his father who was watching him though the viewpoint of a camera. He gave a thumbs up to his son, giving his approval and, happily, the boy hugged the furry. Rasper hugged the boy tightly and patted his head with her paw as she pulled away. At that moment, Easter bunny staff approached the small crowd of children to bring some order to the chaos.
âAlright everyone, letâs form a line. The Easter Bunny is ready to see everyone.â said the female member of staff. The woman turned to Rasper and said, âWell, hello there, my furry friend. Are you here for the Easter bunny too?â Rasper nodded her head twice in confirmation. David stepped forward, towards Rasper.
âSheâs very determined to see the Easter bunny today.â David stated.
âWell, you wonât have to wait long, because here he is! Everyone, the Easter bunny is here.â From around a corner, walked a tall person, dressed head to toe in faux fur, upholstery foam, and probably less hot glue. The Easter bunny was here. He walked towards the big, decorated chair on display and sat down, ready for photos with all the children.
The children cheered for the bunny mascot. They were excited. Rasper wiggled her butt and jumped in the air in anticipation. They had to wait for a bit, but soon it was their turn. Rasper excitedly pranced over to the fellow suiter and sat gently on their lap. From the duffel bag on his shoulder, David pulled out a camera. He turned the camera on and removed the lens cover to photograph Rasperâs special moment. Children watched the two suits interact with one another, in awe of the two human sized animals. David, on the other hand, had to contain himself.
Davidâs face cracked a big toothy grin as he held the camera to his face, concealing his laughter. He was internally in stitches. It was so funny to him, seeing the two suits together. Rasperâs suit had a lot of time and effort put into it. Hours upon hours of blood, sweat, and tears. It showed. Rasper the Fox was a flamboyant character, to be sure.
The Easter bunny, on the other hand, not so much. It looked like someone made it in the back of a white, windowless van, on a backwater road in the Bible Belt. It was not nearly as good looking as the munâs character and looked rather ugly in comparison. Rasper posed with the bunny as their photo was taken, not only by David, but by Easter bunny staff as well. Then Rasper stood from the bunnyâs lap and patted his head a few times before skipping off to join David. She reached David and placed her paws on his arm, wiggling her butt.
âAre you ready to go, Rasper?â he asked. The fursuit nodded, eyes following the doctor. The two made the trek back to their vehicle, having to stop here and there to connect with kids and answer random passersbyâs questions. Once back in the parking lot, Rasper broke character.
âItâs fucking hot in here.â said the mun as they walked, their voice muffled by the foam head.
âYou look hot.â spoke David in double entendre. Rasper playfully began beating her paws against his arm. David chuckled.
âYouâre a furry.â the mun teased. David smirked and patted his hand on Rasperâs back with gusto.
âSo are you.â replied the transient to the five foot, three inch mass of fur. The two laughed as they approached their car. Once unlocked, the mun removed their furry gloves and threw them into the back seat. Then the mun took off their big, furry feet, placing them on the floor of the cabin. Lastly the mun removed the foxy head, revealing a sweaty figure wearing a balaclava.
âI canât breathe in this thing!â they exclaimed, pulling the balaclava off. Their hair was a wavy mess, flowing in multiple directions. âDid you get the photos?â they inquired. David patted his brown bag.
âI got the goods right here. The photographer will send you a print of their photo in a few weeks. Need help with the zipper?â the mun nodded in reply, turning around so the man could help get them out of the hotbox. David carefully pulled on the zipper, making sure no fur got caught up into it. When the zipper was fully undone, the sweaty enby quickly scrambled out of the suit, placing it gently on the back seat.
âI am so tired now.â said the mun. âCan we stop on the way home and get a cold drink?â David opened the passenger door for the mun and smiled.
âAbsolutely, my hot, furry compadre.â The mun gave him a raspberry and stepped into the vehicle. David closed the door and walked around the car. The mun had been right. The two werenât out for long and it wasnât as bad as he thought it was going to be. In fact, he was glad the mun dragged him out today.
Hoo boi! This is a tough question. I have a lot of plushies and I love them all very much. Most of them are franchise plushies. For this experiment, we will be looking at the plushies I currently have out on display and not the ones in the giant cardboard box. Letâs dive right in.
For obvious reasons, I canât carry a large stuffie on the road, so that narrows down the list. Letâs take a look at some of my smaller plushies.
First up, we have a reversible squishmallow I picked up at Hot Topic. One side is a donkey and the other is a horse. I named the donkey side Ollie and the horse side Epona. Ollie has a hoop earring on one of his ears and Epona has two tiny hoop earrings. I did this to make the plush more unique to me. This plush is very fun and itâs so soft to the touch. It can easily fit into my duffel bag, but itâs not ideal for nighttime snugs.
Next on the roster is the adorable plush form of Gudetama as egg sushi. I was given this plush by my caretaker. He has a tiny bracelet on his arm made of tiny stars. This plush is great because you can put him in any situation, in any position, and it just works. Heâd make a great photo prop. Has two great textures to feel. Super easy to find room for him in my duffel bag but again, not the best cuddle buddy.
And the third here is the angry Angel Bunny, made by CozyCatMuffinFactory on Etsy. Heâs one of Fluttershyâs many pets and probably the most demanding. He has a custom name necklace with AB pony beads and a bracelet, also made out of tiny stars. He would fit easily into my duffel bag and even though heâs small, he makes a decent cuddle buddy. This is a handmade plush, however, and I would have to treat him with kid gloves in order to maintain his appearance.
In the slightly bigger category, prowls in my pretty femboi Xenomorph. They are a zippermouth plush I picked up from Quantum Mechanix. Theyâre decked out with a custom kandi necklace that says âPRETTY BOIâ and snake bite piercings. The material is so soft and wonderful. Itâs an ideal shape for snuggling and can be stuffed into my duffel bag with relative ease.
What kind of a brony would I be if I didnât consider one of my pony plushies? This Fluttershy was picked up from Symbiote Studios. Sheâs fully accessorized with striped socks, custom kandi necklaces, one saying FLUTTERSHY, a tail bow, and two sets of earrings. Sheâs of adequate snuggling size and would fit in my duffel no problem.
Get in the bag, Nebby. This Cosmog plush came to me on impulse at Walmart. He has a small kandi bracelet on him that says âNEBBY.â This plush was in my duffel bag for months, until I needed the room. Rating on the cuddle scale puts him lower down the list than some others on here.
This is the plushie dreadfuls gender dysphoria rabbit, made by Mysterious/American McGee. Theyâre sporting custom around their neck, it says âBUNNYâ and on their arms, the left says âAROACEâ and the right says âBBY.â I really love the attention to detail the company pays and they listen to their customers, so you know their wares are top notch. Slipping this baby into my bag wouldnât be a hassle and its so soft, excellent cuddles.
All these plushies are awesome and if I had to pick between one of them, I wouldnât be too upset. I think if I had to put them all in order of favorites, it would look a little something like this.
Fluttershy
Gender Dysphoria Rabbit
Angel Bunny
Ollie/Epona
Xenomorph
Cosmog
Gudetama
To be completely honest, I would a hundred percent own a storage unit to hold all my plushies. Iâd carry one with me at a time while the others chill out, waiting for their turn.
Of course I only included a small fragment of my collection. Perhaps once I move, I will make a master list of all my plushies and can redo my evaluations. Which plushie was your favorite? What plushie would you choose while traveling with Dr David Banner?
My birthday is tomorrow. Iâm excited for it. Imma dress up all snazzy. Iâve got an appointment with my psych in the afternoon and I also have an appointment with the local piercer at noon to get my eyebrow pierced! Weâre also gonna make a gravity bong and mimosas. I think it will be a fun way to ring in another year on planet earth.
Yo, @askdrdavidbanner, I got cha something. đȘșđȘșđȘș
One of these days, tumblr will allow me to interact with my side blog.
Hello Mun. Happy early birthday. Thank you for your ask.
đȘș Â â Â exchange easter baskets with each other
David woke from his slumber. Immediately, he noticed the mun standing over him, eyes open wide with a big grin plastered across their face.
âGood morning, Dr David Banner.â they beamed. âI got you something for Easter.â Davidâs crusty eyes blinked slowly at the ball of energy emanating above him. He lazily looked over to the clock, noting the day and hour, then back to the mun.
âItâs 7:26 AM on a Tuesday.â he remarked. âMay I have my coffee first?â
âNope! Come on, up, up! I promise you it will all be worth it.â David exhaled deeply, begrudgingly pulling the warm and plush covers from his body. âCome one, come on!â the mun persisted. âMove faster! Iâm joking, butâŠâ the mun beckoned him out the bedroom.
âAlright, alright.â groaned the transient. Slowly, the good doctor rose from his resting place. He rubbed his eyes clean of their filth and groggily followed the mun into the living room.
âYouâre gonna love this!â they exclaimed, watching the man lethargically maneuver the floor. He walked over to the couch and slowly let his body down onto the cushions.
âOkay, what do you have for me at this hour, on this Tuesday?â asked David. The mun smiled from ear to ear and scrambled behind the couch with a thud. Davidâs eyes widened and he slightly recoiled at the sudden movement of the mun. Within a moment, they surfaced; a medium, colorful basket, wrapped in cellophane in their arms.
âTadaa!â they exclaimed. âHappy Easter!â Quickly, they handed the bundle to the tired man and bounced on their feet. âHurry up and open it.â David accepted the gift, smiling a coffee-less morning smile; not the most sincere appearing. The mun shuffled over to the opposite side of the couch, sitting on the arm with an eager look.
David inhaled, expanding his rib cage, and shrugged his shoulders upwards, stretching his tired morning muscles. He yawned and then turned his attention to the present before him. The basket before him was wrapped in clear cellophane, slightly obscuring the items held inside. Lightly, he placed the bundle on the couch, in between the two bodies. He reached for and pulled on the gold ribbon holding the cellophane together.
The cellophane unfurled, revealing the contents inside. The plastic basket was vibrantly colored, itâs weaves in hues of pastel green, blue, pink, yellow, and purple. It was stuffed to the brim, full of Easter goodies. Wrapped candies of all kinds were littered about the gifts. Chocolates, hard candies, and caramels. The first thing that caught Davidâs eye was the bag of fair trade, light roast coffee nestled in the basket.
âNow I see why you wouldnât let me have my coffee.â he chuckled. The mun looked at him with a raised eyebrow and said,
âWhat do you mean?â
David and the mun exchanged looks, Davidâs being one of disapproval, and the mun crossed their eyes and grinned, letting out a long squeak. David rolled his eyes sarcastically and returned his thoughts to the coffee in his present.
âThis is my favorite brand.â he said cheerfully. âThank you.â The mun wiggled in their spot and smiled.
âThereâs more.â they replied with glee. David looked back down and put the bag of coffee to the side, investigating the gift further. A light brown leather material caught his eye next. He pulled it out, revealing a light tan, leather journal.
âOh, look at that.â he said as he flipped through the blank pages. âVery nice. Thank you.â The mun squealed with delight.
âIâm so glad you like it.â said the mun. âI wasnât sure about the color, but it has the thinner lines so you can write more on the pages.â David ran his hand along the bookâs spine and smiled. He placed the book on the couch next to the coffee bag and turned back to the basket. Next, he looked at something knitted and wooly. Out from the basket, David pulled a pair of thick, knitted, grey socks.
âDid you make these?â he curiously asked. The mun shook their head in retort.
âNope, I canât knit hunting socks.â they laughed.
âOh, these are hunting socks?â David eyes sparkled and he felt the socks, feeling wires running through them.
âI knew those would help to keep your feet warm while on the road in cold climates. I know my feet get cold.â said the mun. The transient beamed with joy at the idea of warm feet during a long walk on frozen ground.
âThank you, Mun.â David said, his face brimming with happiness. âThatâs very thoughtful of you.â He set the socks down and proceeded to pick up the last item in the basket, a long, thin, black box. He looked at it for a moment before opening it, revealing a matte black, ballpoint pen.
âSomething to use when writing in your new book.â the mun smiled. Davidâs eyes relaxed and he smiled to them.
âThank you, Mun.â he said. Davidâs voice was soft and sincere. It might have been early on a Tuesday, but this was a supreme gift that transcended thoughtfulness and earned its keep as loving. âYouâre too kind to meâŠâ the doctorâs voice trailed. âI havenât even gotten you anything and youâre a stuff-centered person, I know that.â he lamented. The mun stood up from the arm of the sofa and walked over to him, taking his hands in theirs.
âSeeing you happy and using my gifts will be all the thanks I ever need, David.â they told him. âYou donât have to say it back, but I love you. Happy Easter Tuesday.â The mun bent down and gracefully planted a kiss on the manâs brow. âNow go make your coffee. Or go back to sleep. Whichever is your choice. Imma go back to sleep. Enjoy your gifts.â

What? No, it couldnât be. A tall, green skinned man, running through the American suburbs? Well that certainly sounds like Bruce Banner and one might think that it was, if it wasnât for one tiny, little detail. Bruce Banner was on a medical assignment in the Congo, joined by fellow Avenger, Tony Stark. As powerful as the Hulk may be, it would be physically impossible for him to come back to the states with such haste. Something wasnât adding up.
Rosalyn flew with haste to the small suburban community in question. She would begin by looking for signs of destruction. Following the trail always led her to her partnerâs other self. As the hero sailed across the skies, she noticed a surprising lack of carnage. If the Hulk was really and truly there, this small, suburban community would be riddled with damage.
âWhat on Godâs green earth is going on?â thought Rosalyn as she combed the area. A flipped, red truck was the first sign of horseplay. Rosalyn lowered herself to the ground, landing with a gentle step. Aside from the flipped vehicle, everything looked to be in order. There was no damage to any of the houses, nor to any other cars.
âThis doesnât exactly look like the Hulkâs handiwork.â she said, trailing her hand across the dented metal of the truck. Rosalyn raised her eyes, mindful of her surroundings. A front door opened in the beige house across the street; a father and his little girl, peeking around the doorframe. Rosalyn lifted her dominant hand towards them and shouted.
âAvengers, sir! Did you see what happened?â The father opened his mouth to speak, but he was interrupted by his offspring.
âHe went that way, miss!â shouted the little red haired girl and she peeked her head and arm out the door, pointing towards a smashed fence down the street.
âThank you! Please, stay in the innermost point of your home and keep your children away from the windows!â commanded Rosalyn. She watched as the father grabbed his child and quickly closed the door, heeding her order. Prioritizing the health and safety of citizens has to be first thought as an Avenger.
On foot, Rosalyn walked down the street, looking and listening for anything that would beckon her attention. Couldnât be too careful. She slowly approached the damaged wooden fence and investigated the scene. The fence had most definitely been smashed by something of considerable strength. Large cedar splinters littered the grass. Glancing across the backyard, she spotted another damaged wooden fence. Rosalyn gracefully lifted her body into the air and approached from above, her eyes fully alert for even the slightest green rustle.
âHulk, are you out there?â she called out sweetly. âYou can come out now. Itâs me, Rosalyn.â The area was silent, only noise the hero could hear was the distant white noise of traffic. Slowly, she began to circle the space in search of the jade behemoth. âHulk, buddy? Rosalynâs here. Are you here too, my friend?â
Rosalyn kept flying, until something caught her attention. A small, white fluff in the corner of her right eye. Quickly, she stopped and hovered, turning her head to the movement. A few yards away in the neighboring yard was a small, white dog with curly hair. The dog was jumping and running circles, trying to gain the affections of someone. Rosalynâs eyes widened when she registered what the dog wanted attention from.
Sitting on a tree stump in the yard was a tall, muscular, green man with green hair. He had no shirt, no shoes, and his blue jeans were torn up the sides. He looked fatigued as he sat there and gave his attention to the petit canine. Rosalynâs eyes about popped out of her head and her jaw went limp, hanging open in the air. What exactly was she looking at? This creature was indeed green, but he was nowhere near as big as the Hulk she knew.
Delicately, Rosalyn floated closer, her eyes never leaving the creature in front of her. He appeared to look like the Hulk she knew and loved, but he was smaller and no doubt not as strong, given the damage. Also, she couldnât remember Hulk ever having green hair. The dog was the first to notice the elevated hero. It barked for a moment, then ran underneath Rosalyn. It jumped for her attention and then ran back to the creature, realizing she was too high up to be reached.
The creature lifted his head towards Rosalyn, his white eyes meeting her brown ones. He tilted his head to his right in confusion and blinked heavily. How fatigued he looked in Rosalynâs eyes. His shoulders sagged and his breath was heavy. Rosalyn felt her motherly instincts bubbling up to the surface. She lowered herself to the grass below and very gently approached the vessel of primal rage in front of her.
âHello.â Rosalyn cooed sweetly. The creature watched her cautiously as she crept closer, his eyes only leaving her to look at the dog that was still trying to get his full attention. âJust take it easy, Rosalyn. You got this.â she whispered under her breath. âWho might you be?â
The creature blinked and tilted his head again. He stared at Rosalyn, until the dog caught his attention again and he reached down to pick up the small bundle of joy. Rosalyn pursed her lips and sighed.
âHe doesnât seem to understand me.â she thought. âOr he isnât able to communicate with me.â Closer, she approached, shortening the distance between them until she was only mere feet away. The creature watched her with his eyes as his hand stroked the dog in his grasp. Rosalyn thought for a moment. This new Hulk might not look exactly the same, but she bet that he would calm down and possibly revert back to someone.
âDo you like that doggie?â she asked. âItâs a very nice doggie.â The creature looked down at the dog and scratched it behind itâs floppy ears. âArenât you so kind to that doggie?â she spoke. The creature looked up at Rosalyn again and inhaled deeply, his massive chest expanding and shrinking with the natural flow of his lungs. Rosalyn smiled sweetly and said, âYou look so tired. Itâs okay to close your eyes. Iâll watch over you, so youâll be safe.â
The creature lowered his head to look at the dog again, Rosalyn watching his every move. His movements became more lethargic as his head lowered further. Rosalyn watched as his form began to alter. Gradually, the creatureâs thick and bulging muscles began to diminish. The height of the creature gently shrank and his bright green skin faded into a soft pale flesh tone. His monstrously big brow faded and his green hair darkened into a deep, luscious brown. Slowly, but surely, this Hulk, too, changed back into a man.
Rosalyn watched, almost in disbelief. There was another Hulk on planet Earth? How was this possible? Did Bruce know about this? If anything, all her questions could be answered now. The dog in the manâs lap jumped down and ran to Rosalyn for her attention. Rosalyn bent down and pet the dog, never taking her eyes off this new person.
The man left in the Hulkâs spot rubbed his face with his hands and lifted his head towards her. Rosalyn wasnât exactly sure what to expect, but it surprised her nonetheless that the face staring at her wasnât that of her beloved partner. Instead, a very fair looking, middle aged man sat in front of her, looking very confused and a little cold. His hair was brown and his eyes appeared green against the grass being reflected in them. He rubbed his arms with his hands to warm himself as he finally noticed the woman standing in front of him. He tilted his head slightly and asked,
âWhere are we?â
