Heart Of The Hulk (Open To One To Play Banner)

[Mayu]

So many years together and yet Bruce was holding something back and Melody knew it. There was a 10 year age difference even tho they made the perfect couple, everyone thought so. She had no idea what happens when he gets angry, but what people don't know is when he gets excited he turns into the hulk. Melody was out walking towards Bruce's home and heard screams she saw The Hulk for the first time, she saw people after him.

"Follow me Hulk" She said softly and went into the darkness of the Alley wondering if he would trust her to get him to safety.

(I always loved the hulk don't ask why, when Bruce is the hulk remember he doesn't talk much and when he talks, has a time doing it, hoping to find someone for this)

The emeralld giant blinked at her a few times, obviously confused. A part of him wanted to go with her, but his more bestial nature could not quite understand. After a short hesitation, he charged after her, his large from moving down the alleyway with surprising speed.


(Are we doing comic, movie, or TV series Hulk?)

 

[Mayu]

She smiled seeing him and heard the people chasing the other way, she peeked over and it was all clear, but waited for another moment to make sure, she looked up at him. "So you are the one people see as a monster" She crossed her arms. "I don't see that, I see you as misunderstood" She placed her hand on his but because of his size, it was so small.

(Movie )

 

[Demos Straxus]

(Okay, gotcha. Mind PMing me with what you have in mind as far as the rpg?)

The hulk gazed down at her for a moment, a deep frown present on his face as he tried to think about what she had said. His mind was not very developed, and understanding her took effort.

After a long moment, his other hand reached out, covering hers with surprising gentleness, his dark green eyes showing his understanding of what she had said, his gesture showing his thanks. He gazed into her eyes for a moment, and then turned back the way they had come, where footsteps could be heard coming. His let go over her hands, and then reached down, scooping her into his huge arms, and crouching low to the ground. Suddenly they were in the air rushing through space like a meteor.

 

[Mayu]

She watched what he was doing she giggled when he scooped her up like a person would do a small child and found themselves flying almost. She had heard how powerful he was and was surprised to see this power, she smiled as she relaxed. For some strange reason she thought she would be terrified, since she was scared of heights, but she had no problems, he was a gentle giant.

"Your something else my friend" She said softly

(Yeah Sure! Coming right Up )

 

[Demos Straxus]

The Hulk seemed to understand her comment, because he gave her a slight smile, even as the dropped to the ground, and bounded once more. He did this five orsix times, until they were far from the city, and out in the country.

He dropped to the ground at last, setting Melody gently upon the ground, as if she was a porcelin figure, and then studying her intently, his green eyes showing remarkable intelligence, in spite of his somewhat primitive nature. He breathed deeply, his large chest, moving slowly in and out after his exertion. If Melody was paying attention, she might notice that he seemed smaller than before, as if he was losing mass as his anger cooled.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled when she moved a few feet away so she didn't have to snap her head all the way back she did notice his size changed. "Your eyes...they remind me of the man I love" She said softly, she saw how he was breathing. "Your rage is your strength" She placed her hands on his chest. "Shhh my friend its alright" She said kindly. She had a very gentle touch, she looked into his eyes softly.

 

[Demos Straxus]

He began to shrink at a visable rate now, his form seeming to melt away, revealing slowly a lean and ragged man. He was tall and pale, and the collapsed almost as soon as the transformation was complete, his body wracked with incredible weakness from the exertations of moments before. Hulk no more Bure Banner gazed into Melodies eyes, and almost smiled, before the darkness claimed him, and he thought no more.

 

[Mayu]

Her eyes showed pure shock as she saw her boyfriend before her "Bruce..." Because he was to heavy she made sure he didn't hit his head when he collapsed, she was stunned, removing her jacket she put his head in her lap and put her jacket over him. "The man I love.....they called a monster?" She had tears in her eyes as she placed her arms around him. "Your not a monster Bruce....."

 

[Demos Straxus]

"You're not a monster Bruce....."

The words echo around Bruce, and he whirls looking for the source, but sees only himself instead.

"What the hell?"

He looks around, profoundly confused. His last memory was of a grassy meadow......and her. Now though he is in a room filled with mirrors. Each one shows himself, but each is also......not. The faces reflected in the glass are larger, the features primitive, and the skin a jade green. He stares at them, a mixture of horror, and fear on his face.

"You."

The giants sneer in unison at the statement, giving Bruce a look of disdain, and then speak, their voices a unified, and deep rumble.

"You fear us?"

"Yes, I do."

"Why?"

Because you do terrible things. You destroy lives. You've ruined my life. You've ruined me."

"No. We did not. Betty betrayed you because she was afraid. We would not harm her, any more than you would. Her fear is what drove her away, not us. We are a part of you, and only by finding balance with us, can you be whole."

At this the dream, for that is what it was began to fade, leaving Bruce lying on his back, his head in Melody's lap, his eyes staring into her own.

"Melody?"

He asked weakly, his strength still painfully low.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled looking into his eyes "Bruce" She said softly stroking the side of his face. She didn't know what to say, but she loved him no matter what, running her hand down his chest lovingly. "Just rest Bruce its alright" She gazed into his eyes. "Just know no matter what, I will always stand by your side, nothing anyone or you can do will change my mind, you have no idea how special you are, and the other bastards don't know either, I understand your other half better then anyone I think, seeing the hulk in person made it clear" She said softly.

 

[Demos Straxus]

He blinks up at her a moment, feeling confused. His other half.....realization hits him hard like a punch, and he groans, trying to get to his feet. When she says that she'll stand by his side though......he hesitates. No one, not even Betty was willing to do that for him.

Slowly, he kneels across from her, and then speaks, his voice cracking with emotion.

"Thank you Melody. It-it means a lot to me for you to say that. Its so hard to be like this, and be alone."

He reaches to her, grasping her hand, and squeezing it, as much for his own reassurence as hers. No words are spoken between the two for a long moment, as both simply feel the connection forming between them. After it is past, Bruce moves to his feet, helping her up with him, and thne he embraces her in a hug, kissing her lightly on the cheek.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled "Well im not Betty" She said kindly "I of course do not mean to sound mean or harsh id never say anything bad about her" She looked into his eyes. "You won't be alone again...." She rested her hands on his chest "Even if you see what you have become a curse the others do not see what I see, we may never understand truly but as ive seen your anger triggers it, instead of yelling you become the hulk, he would not harm anyone if everyone would leave him be, if he meant harm he would have hurt me and he didn't. To be honest, he made me feel safe, the way you make me feel always"

She placed her hand on the side of his face "I trust you and I trust him, I respect you both very much, you may share the same body but even I know he understands what you do but he is extremely intelligent just like you" She said softly. "I will make everyone see that he is harmless as long as no guns or anything violent comes his way.."

 

[Demos Straxus]

Bruce felt the need to thank god a thousand times for blessing him with Melody, but against that he felt the gnawing fatigue of the transformation. He couldn't hold out much longer. He moved away from her, smiling weakly.

"Come on Melody, I need to get home. We can talk about him there."

 

[Mayu]

She ran up to his side putting his arm around her "Hang On" Since he didn't have much on she put the jacket over him and continued walking with him. She flagged down a Taxi and got him home that way once outside his place she got her keys out getting his key and opened the door, helping him in and resting on the couch. She sat beside him and relaxed a bit pulling a throw over him to warm him.

"Will you be ok Bruce?" She asked worried

 

[Demos Straxus]

He smiled weakly at the question.

"I've been asking myself that question for years now it seems....Not sure if I'll ever know. Physically though? Yes. The transformations just take a lot out of me. They alter my entire metabolism. Like crashing from drug overdose when turn back."

He looks around the shabby little apartment for a moment, considering the past 5 years......the places he's been in that time. So many lies has he told in that time...It feels strange to be honest.

"I suppose I should tell you my real name is Bruce Banner. McGee is an alias I picked up from a tabloid reporter who chased me for a couple of years."

 

[Mayu]

She looked at him "I see" She said softly "Where you afraid to tell me because you were afraid id leave you?" She took his hand in hers. "We have been through a lot, we have been together a very long time, I don't see my life without you to be honest"

 

[Demos Straxus]

He held her hand gratefully, drawing strength from her.

"Its just.......hard. I've lived with this secret for so long, and whenever its gotten out.....its caused pain to to those involved. I didn't want to see you hurt."

 

[Mayu]

She smiled "I know Bruce" She said softly leaning into him "But here I am, ive seen the hulk, he cradled me like a baby, very carefully, I do not feel any fear towards you at all"

 

[Demos Straxus]

He reached out, delicately tracing the line of her cheek, and smiled sadly.

"Its not just the Hulk. Its what he brings with him. He and I have made many enemies. With him sighted in this area, they'll start showing up...I don't want anyone else's blood on my hands."

 

[Mayu]

Melody looked at him "Then we will always move around so they cannot track you" She looked into his eyes. "Bruce I understand the dangers, but please let me stay by your side, I don't want to leave your side" She said ever so sweetly.

 

[Demos Straxus]

Bruce considers for a moment, and then nods, aparently making up his mind.

"Okay Melody. I'll agree to that, but I need you to promise me something. If I tell you to run, you run. Understood? Theres alot about me that you don't understand yet, and I don't want you getting hurt to find out."

 

[Mayu]

She didn't like to make promises like this, she prayed something like this wouldn't happen, but something inside her had a feeling it would. "Alright Bruce" She said with a truthful voice.

 

[Demos Straxus]

He smiled at her then, his expression warm.

"Thank you Melody."

He leaned in, giving her another light kiss, this time on the lips, their skin meeting ever so briefly with a touch that was electric, before Bruce withdrew, hestitently, restraining his natural instincts as he distanced himself from her, rising off the couch, and walking towards the bathroom. When he spoke, his voice had a halfhearted attempt at humor, his feelings too confused to fully commit to it.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go shower. I appear to have 6 or six pounds of mud on me. Looks like He tromped through some mud puddles on his way."

 

[Mayu]

She laughed some and nodded "Alright, would you like me to stay over longer for you?" She would if he said "Can if you want" A Kind grin was seen on her face as she placed her hand on the side of his face.
