spider-shulk

It began as an unseasonably cool summer day in new york, a mear ninety-five degrees, and as warm as it was for your average new york resident it was even worse if you happened to be wearing brightly colored spandex and swinging through the city like your friendly neighborhood spider-man.

Peter parker, better known as spider-man when in costume was conducting his normal patrol rounds when he heard an alarming sound in the distance. The closer he got to the sourcce of the sound the louder his spider-sense screamed at him to run away. So loud in fact he almost didn't register the incoming car hurling through the air right at him.

He managed to dodge being the first person ever to be run over by an airborne car by planting himself ontop of the car and quickly webbing it to the surronding buildings.

Three blocks away where the car was originally parked a monumental battle was taking place between the barborously brutal dirk garthwaite known better as the wrecker and the vigorous vixen known as she-hulk.

The road crushed under her powerful foot as she leapt once more into the fray striking the wrecker in the jaw with her powerful knee. Though stunned the wrecker reacted quickly, grabbed her leg and threw her into a parked car. While she as momentarily stunned the wrecker ran towards she-hulk swinging his crowbar preparing to level a final blow to the green beauty.

She-hulk stood her ground ready to give her all in a single punch. Wrecker swung his mighty crowbar at her head, only something caught his wrist at the last minute. She hulk smiled seeing the white webbing surronding the wrecker's arm. "Hey dirk, why dont you pick on somebody much smaller and weaker than you!" Wrecker growled as he used his free hand to attempt to tear the webbing.

Spider-man quickly webbed both his hands together wrapping it around a light pole for leverage he yanked hard on his web slamming wrecker's fist into his own face. "Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself."

He latched the webbing to the light pole and leaped over the wrecker landing on the crumpled car next to she-hulk. "Always wanted to do that." he laughed. She-hulk smiled down at him. "Thanks for the assist." "Hey you did most of the work, I just came in and tied him up."

Wrecker finally broke free of the webs with a roar. "Youse guys aint gettin off that easy! Round two starts now bug!" The wrecker swung his crowbar once more, She-hulk ducked as spider-man sprung high into the air. "You made a big mistake giving me time to rest, dirt." she-hulk rose with a tremendous uppercut sending him sailing high into the air.

Spidey whistling attracted she-hulk's attention. "Shulkie knocks one out of the park in the bottom of the ninth! Do you believe in miracles!" she smiled and picked up wrecker's crowbar holding it like a baseball bat.

Minutes and several blocks later found poor wrecker webbed tightly in a coccoon for S.H.I.E.L.D. with a note pinned to him signed "courtesy of your friendly neighborhood spider-man and the sensational she-hulk.

Hours later jennifer walters known to the world as she-hulk rested in one of her hulk sized t-shirt while watching the news broadcast replaying the events of her fight with the wrecker. She sipped at her coffee. Her heart fluttered when she saw spider-man swing into action. She didn't really understand why she felt this way. After all he wasn't any funnier than any other hero, quippiness seemed to be a prerequeset. She's certainly been with better built men, compared to hercules he looked frail but she knew he wasn't. Even with leverage it took a lot to hold back the onslaught of the wrecker.

A cellphone camera had caught the wrecker crashing into central park. Before the wrecker could fully recover she-hulk landed in front of the wrecker, with spider-man summersaulting in behind her. "Let's end this already, I'm late for a pedicure." "I'll end it alright!" wrecker growled throwing a haymaker at she-hulk and missing. "Wasn't talking to you." "I'll hit him high you hit him low." spider-man said spinning out of the way of wrecker's crowbar before firing quickshots of his webbing in wrecker's face. Instinctively wrecker tried to rip the webs off of his face. Taking advantage she-hulk leapt at the wrecker, she slid behind him wrapping her arms around his waist before lifting him into the air and slamming him into a boulder the size of a buick.

The rock split in two under the emmence force. Unfortunately this did not deter the wittless wrecker as he stood back up prepared for more. "You've already lost, dirt, give up."

Jennifer wondered if she should call him. They did make a good team after all. Beauty and brains, and whatever spidey brought to the table.

Miles away peter was watching the news as well, unfortunately his channel was owned by J3 so their narrative was a bit different. "-flagrent disregard for the safety of innocents caught in the crossfire! Thankfully she-hulk arrived to put an end to what could have been a total disaster!"

As much as peter was loath to admit it jameson was right, if it had just been him and dirk the fight would have turned out very differently. She was certainly fun to be around as he recalled from previous encounters. Suddenly his phone rang as phones tend to do. "Hello?" he asked "H-hi." he almost didn't recognize the voice on the other end for moment. Then he realized it was she-hulk's alterego jennifer walters. "Jenny, how's everything? Sensational I trust?" Peter watched as spider-man stole wrecker's crowbar

"I was watching the news and it got me thinking how we made a great team." jennifer said as she watched herself land a flying side kick into the wrecker's stomach.

"I was thinking the same thing," spider-man webbed wrecker's head and leaped over him pulling his head back with all his might. As spidey expected wrecker snapped the webbing just as planned. She-hulk leapt with a mighty knee sending wrecker flying once more.

The news switched to another camera phone as jenny crashed through the roof of the subway platform. She slammed into wrecker once more, she began to punch his face in rapid seccession. Spider-man showed up just in time to see wrecker punch her off of him and onto the platform.

"I was thinking the next time you needed back up you could call me." The camera phone couldn't pick up what spider-man said to she-hulk over the crowd's screaming. In the next moment she-hulk ripped up a pillar and threw it at the wrecker.

The wrecker smashed the pillar, unseen to him spider-man was riding on top and leapt over him as he smashed the pillar to pieces. Spider-man shot a web to the wrecker's crowbard and quickly shot the other end to the third rail. In an instant fifty-thousand volts traveled through the webbing through the crowbar and into the wrecker's entire body. The wrecker screamed doubly for the pain and the power drain before falling unconcious.

"Sounds like a plan." Our friendly wall-crawler agreed. Their conversation continued discussing logistics and potential things to shout before attacking the bad guys.

A few days later our friendly neighborhood scientist was working in his lab at horizon labs attempting to design an app that would warn you when a villain was disrupting traffic flow based on his own spider sense when his prototype alerted him to an attack downtown. Within minutes peter was suited up and swinging through the street. His app alerted him in his mask's new heads up display that rhino was attempting a getaway after robbing a jewlery store.

Rhino barrelled through the rush hour traffic tossing cars to the side as he stampeeded through the street. A speeding armored swat vehichle raced towards rhino. Rhino chuckled "You think you can stop me once I get on a roll?!" The rhino ducked his head and flipped the swat vehicle rolling it end over end down the street. As the vehicle was about to smash a police car spider-man landed on the under carriage quickly webbing it to the nearby buildings stopping it inches away from hitting the police car. "Hate to stop you guys when you're on a roll."spider-man punned in his usual fashion, the rhino shouted. "Ah the little spider!" "Little?" spider-man lobbed a quick volley of web balls at rhino's face while he leapt into the air before landing on a taxi cab. "I'll have you know I am well within normal ranges for a guy with spider-like powers!" Rhino ripped the webbing from his face and growled at spider-man. "Tough talk for a small fry!" Rhino charged spider-man, spidey of course dodged it with ease "You're really stuck on these short jokes arent you?" "I agree!" Rhino turned around swining his huge arms wildly. "Stand and fight shrimp!" Spider-man ducked again "Again with the short jokes. You're gonna give me a complex if you dont cut it out." Spider-man webbed rhino's arms to his chest and leapt over him spring boarding off of his head. "You little punk!" Rhino tore the webbing once again and spun around "You can't take me in a straight up fight so you use cheap tricks!" "Well he's got me there." spider-man crouched on a squad car as she-hulk cracked her knuckles and smiled. "That's why I called in the emerald beauty herself." Rhino swallowed hard but foolishly was undeterred and charged anyway. She-hulk caught his charge, picked him up, and slammed him on the street knocking him out cold. "I don't know what you're always complaining about, he's a chump." she-hulk mocked "Don't you start. Now say cheese!" spider-man snapped a picture of she-hulk standing triumphantly over the unconcious rhino.

Jennifer busies herself doing hand stand pushups, cause honestly why wouldn't she, while the television played in the background. "Welcome back to S-news keeping you uptodate on the latest super hero news around the world. Rumors that wolverine was spotted in japan still persist" A blurry photo of a short man with wild hair leaping from a building appeared in the top right corner. "Well we certainly hope that's him or it's a hard stop without a healing factor. Psylocke reportedly stopped an armored car robbery in england. Iron man was seen flying over california, no news as to why just yet. And in a bit of local news earlier in the week spider-man haulted a jewlery heist but that's not what has the city talking." Jennifer stopped with her workout staying on her hands "She-hulk was the one to deliver the decisive blow, but that's still not what has the city atwitter. Eyewitnesses suggest more than just crime fighting was going on between the duo."

Photos of spider-man taking pictures of she-hulk appeared on screen. "Hewasjusttakingaphototocelebratethehellman!" jennifer screamed at her t.v. before crashing onto her floor. "Some argue this is nothing more than a celebration photo" "I like those people!" she said rubbing her head. "Four more times this week the dynamo duo have been spotted, wether it was spider-man helping contain thundra or she-hulk even stooping to help foil a police chase. Kinesiologist suggest-" "the hell is that?!" "that the body language between the two is more than just a simple partnership." A graphic of lines imposed over the images told jennifer nothing "Wether this is a budding relationship or something more we'll keep you posted."

Jennifer paced back and forth in her apartment. "You take one picture with a guy and suddenly you're in love!" she kicked her couch regretting it immediately. Suddenly a green foot kicked the couch breaking it on her wall. "When I kick you you move!" she shouted "I wonder if other female superheroes have to deal with this!" she thought about all the female superheroes she knew personally, most of the times the rumors were true. Suddenly she thought about spider-man. He was certainly fun, he kept things interesting during all the times they fought together. Some of these heroes can be so egotistical, both of the men and women could. She really respected those who could keep a level head while being adored by millions.

She felt the need to call him but couldn't understand why. She sat on the broken couch and called him up on the "spidey-phone" as he called it before she knew she had done it.

Peter was busy tweaking the app when his phone sprang to life. "Hello jen." he said while continuing with the app. "How'd you, oh right, I guess i'm the only girl with your number." "You're the only one in that exclusive club." Jennifer felt herself flush. "I wanted to say thanks for the app. It'll do wonders for my bounty hunting." "Not to mention save you time in traffic." they both laughed "as if we ever worry about traffic." There was an awkward silence "Did-did you see snewz?" she asked using it's nickname. "No I've been busy in the lab." Jen could hear the small inflection in his voice. He was so happy to be in the lab. "Well apparently we're a couple." she chuckled, he dropped a soddering iron and swore. "We're what now?!" "Apparently us stopping the baddies together make us a couple now." she chuckled and peter guffawed a little to hard for her liking. "What's so funny?" "Some people belive the most ridiculous things that's all."

Jennifer felt a sting in her chest "Yeah, totally ridiculous. Like I'd want to date you." she laughed defensively feeling like a fourth grader. "I'll try not to be offended by that." he said returning the soddering iron back to it's rightful place. Jennifer felt a little happy she jabbed him in the same way he did her. "Yeah I mean you probably got a face like deadpool under that mask of yours." Now peter was insulted. "I'll have you know I'm cute as a button."

"Oh yeah who told you that?"

"My aunt."

"So basically your mother."

"Hey now-"

"Sorry I was a lawyer, I need some kind of proof." she laughed again while on the other side of the phone peter grew quiet. Spider-sense has never helped him out with women before but he suddenly felt something was amiss. "I don't really expose myself, I mean my identity to strangers. Bad things happen." Peter thought back to the time he had to sell his soul to save his aunt's life because he reveled his identity.

"Oh I'm a stranger now?"

"W-No I mean we don't really know each other."

"Well, come out of the lab and we can get to know each other." she challenged.

"I-well..."

Jennifer's heart pounded harder than fighting a skrull, why?

"Let's do it. I mean-"

"I know what you mean." she silmultaneously felt relieved and nervous and excited. "Let's do it!" she laughed.

A few days later and another fight between between whirlwind left our heroes preparing for their first date, meeting. In true superhero fashion they agreed to meet on a rooftop. Spider-man was the first to arrive. Why was he so nervous? He knew he could trust her, he knew he'd eventually tell her because of that fact. So why was he nervous? A small shake of the rooftop let him know she had arrived. "Welcome to my parlor." spidey said turning around to face the emerald beauty.

"What?"

"Said the spider to the...nevermind. Okay, let's do this." spider-man grasped the edges of his mask.

"No, wait." she-hulk grabbed his arm. "I was thinking, I dont want to pressure you. If you're not ready to tell me then I can understand. I'll wait until you're ready."

Behind his mask peter smiled "No I want you to know. Because I trust you." Almost relieved he pulled off his mask. "Well?"

He looked so ordinary but cute at the same time "Well you're cuter than I expected."

"Uh thanks."

she nudged him "It's a good thing, believe me." She shrank down returning to jennifer walters. "Jennifer walters, Nice to meet you."

Peter smiled, everyone knew who she was but he still appreciated it "Peter parker. "

"Alright, let's get some dinner. I'm starved."

Peter and jennifer entered a fancy resteraunt dressed in their civies. "Wow, swanky!" she said as the waiter sat them at their table.

"Yeah being a scientist for a real company pays money. Who knew?"

"Well I am just glad I decided to dress up. This, a pair of jeans and some workout gear is about all I own right now." she smiled at peter. Knowing he was eyeing up her little black dress with a neckline stopping short enough to show cleavage but not enough to look like a hooker.

After a nice dinner they decided to walk back to their respective apartments, once they retrieved their bags from the rooftop of course.

"How do you 'hulk out' in a dress like that?" peter finally asked

"Hoping I'll hulk right out of my dress are you?" she teased

"No I-"

"It stretches. When you're a hulk you gotta invest in stretchy clothes." she admitted.

"Can...I see it?"

Jen stopped in the street

"I'm sorry I didn't mean"

"No, just making sure there's no papparazi. You still have your secret identity to think of." Jennifer closed her eyes. When she opened them again they were entirely green. Her arms bulged with muscle, next her legs bulged and lengthened until she was two feet taller than before. Finally her skin turned green. Her dress now showing much more clevage. Peter noticed of course but was too polite to mention it.

"Amazing."

"I prefer sensational but ya know, to each their own." she chuckled.

"Thank you, I dont think I've ever seen you change before."

"If you saw me change you'd remember it the rest of your life." she winked.

Peter's voice caught in his throat "Y-you can change back now if you want. Whatever makes you more comfortable."

"I'm actually more comfortable like this." She struke a seductive pose and smiled down at peter "Are you not enjoying the view?"

Peter gulped "I've enjoyed the view all night." They both realized what he said and the awkwardness clouded the area like a dense fog.

She-hulk grabbed peter's hand. "Come with me!" she said leaping high into the air. Peter tried his best to not scream, but failed. Finally they landed outside of a club with dance music beating into the street. "Let's have some fun." she cheered setting peter down.

"Sure, give me a moment." peter bent behind a car and lossed his dinner. "I never liked when your cousin did that either."

"Well now you'll need something to wash that taste out of your mouth. Follow me." She-hulk walked past the line to the displeasure of many of the people standing in line. Some however were mesmerized by the arrival of a super hero and of course one as beautiful as she-hulk.

The bouncer took one look at her and was stunned to see a celebrity in this neighborhood. "He's with me." she says dragging peter behind her, who was busy covering his face as casually as possible with his hands.

Inside the darkened club jennifer's green skin may have been hidden but she still managed to stand out by standing head and shoulders above the crowd. Literally.

The music proved to be just as loud inside as it did outside. Jennifer danced beautifuly to the beat while peter flailed as best as he could. Jennifer laughed at peter's attempts before taking his hand in hers and guiding his body to match her own swaying. Peter followed her body with his own drawing closer to hers. They lost themselves to the music as their fingers primal beat driving them closer and closer. The smell of her driving peter wild. He wanted her so bad his heart ached to look at her. The way her hair danced in the changing light, the way her smile would flash every time she saw him.

They finally arrived at her apartment building. "Well this is me. I'd invite you up but, someone broke my couch." She smiled

"It's fine, I never go up on the first date. I'm just not that kind of girl." Peter winked back at her. He found he enjoyed their little back and forth.

"Next time." she giggled, peter had never heard a hulk giggle before it was strange to-his thoughts were interrupted by lips pressed against his. Beautiful green lips like two gems. When she released him he wanted to say something clever or funny or anything but he couldn't. "Call me." she giggled again entering her apartment building.

"I yeah...phone. I have one of those." peter mumbled as he walked back to his apartment. He hadn't felt this way since mary jane. "Tonight wasn't supposed to be a date was it?" he asked the streets. He asked the street a lot, but of course it didnt answer. He spent the rest of the night thinking about jennifer walters and she-hulk and their kiss. Jennifer had a similar evening only about spider-man and peter parker. She at least knew he was cute now.

The next day peter parker was in his lab being absolutely worthless at his job today because he was staring at his phone. Did she really want him to call her? "Screw it!" she wanted him to call so he's gonna call. He reached for his phone at the same time his app alerted him to a new threat.

Peter groaned and grabbed his all purpose costume and jumped out of his window.

She-hulk was already on scene fighting off a hoard of robots. "Robots? How cliche'!" spider-man quipped as he swung in kicking three robots.

"Yeah they seem to keep multiplying!" She-hulk smashed two robots together tossing one and crushing the other into the size of a basketball before spiking it into the ground. The robot shattered and reformed into camel spider-bots.

"Smythe. It's gotta be." Spider-man shot a bolo wrapping around three robots which suddenly electrified them. "He's kind of obsessed with me."

"You got something for me?" She-hulk asked

"Oh uh, I was literally just about to call you-"

"No! I meant some gear, cause smashing isn't cutting it." she said putting her fist through a robot's head. "Not that I'm not enjoying this." She threw the trashed robot into an oncoming horde knocking them back and smashing a few more in the process.

"I need an unsmashed robot and some space." Spidey called out taking out two with a split kick knocking their heads off. She-hulk barrled through the more robots that were poised to attack him.

"They just keep coming!" she shouted smashing two together.

While she-hulk smashed spider-man examined the discarded remains of one robot, the lenses in his mask acting like a microscope. "That explains it. They're self-replicating nano-ogranisms."

"Meaning what? Every one we smash two will rise?"

"Basically. They're programed with a certain build so any piece we break off will rebuild to that specific model again."

"So what do we do?" She punched a group of robots three stories high.

"We need to shut them down in a way that doesn't break any pieces off." He said leaping over she-hulk finding a power junction.

"No smash?"

"Smash smarter." Spider-man busied himself pulling wires from the junction box and wiring it into his suit.

She-hulk groaned as tackled a group of robots and forced them back against a wall. "Lil help?" Spidey looked up from his work and fired a wide web trapping the group to the wall.

Spider-man swung into the air and began webbing off the street, criss-crossing the webs lines, some of the robots from the swarm getting trapped by the webs. "Go limp." He tells her before pulling her out of the street to the rooftop her perched himself on.

"I don't think that's gonna hold them long."

"It doesn't have to." The junctioni box whined with electric power as sparks begin to fly. "I rigged the junction box to overload." The current flowed through the web passing through the city block and the robots that were trapped in his webs. The junction box exploded sending a shockwave for miles overloading their circutry without breaking them.

"Impressive." she said in awe.

"I'm not just a pretty face ya know." he laughed.

"Oh I know." she said staring into his lenses. Her green hands slowly reaching for his mask.

"What are you doing?" he asked pulling back hesitantly.

"Shh." she lifted his mask above his nose kissing him.
