Team Green: Hulk and Shego

Chapter One- Two of a Kind

Uninhabited Island

Dr. Drakken's Lair

Shego was sitting in her chair, reading the latest sale issue for Club Banana, and hoping that she would find something that would suit her tastes. It was so hard for her to find some outfits in green or black... well at least ones that would look good on her.

After the Lorwardian invasion, she decided to take some time off away from the ever annoying Dr. Drakken, who was as usual, trying to conquer the world with one of his whacked plans. You would think that after all the failures he would try something more profitable, like stealing some of Stark Industries new line of weapons or at least do something that is more worthwhile!

It's a wonder that I stay around here anymore! If it wasn't for the salary and the once a year spa trips I get, I would have left a good while ago! Still... I'm really getting tired of his nagging and his insufferable ranting! It makes me wonder if I should give up this villain thing and go work with S.H.I.E.L.D. or something? At least it would get me away from the annoying blue pinhead in the next room! Shego thought to herself.

She looked at a picture of a green leather jacket, marking that page before turning to the next. It was then that Dr. Drakken decided to enter the room, his usual proud smirk on his blue face. I wonder what the blue moron wants now?

Proably wants me to steal something from HenchCo or something. Well, at least then I can make a stop at Club Banana on the way back and steal myself the jacket. What's the use of having stealth abilities if you can't use them? Shego mused to herself as her employer strolled in the room.

"Shego! Put down the magazine, because we got something to steal!", Drakken shouted.

Oy! What is the blue moron going to steal now? Well, actually I am the one who does all the stealing, and he just gives the lame orders and takes the credit. I think this is gonna be my last year working with this blue idiot... really sure! I mean he barks orders at me like a dog, demanding this and that, and do I get any credit? No! After this next whacked plan or whatever... Dr. D is on his own! Shego told herself as she let out a groan.

"What is it, Drew? This better be good. I don't have time to waste.", Shego replied.

"For the last time Shego! My name is Dr. Drakken!", Drakken shouted in outrage.

"Whatever! So what is it that you want me to steal? And further more, what is this whacked plan of yours?", Shego asked as she focused on the not so good doctor.

"My plan? Ah, yes! My plan! I'll reveal that later, but for now I'll tell you what we're going to steal.", Drakken informed.

"So in other words, you really don't have a plan, but you're going to make me steal something anyway?", Shego asked sarcastically.

"Joke all you want, Shego. Once I have what I want... this world will be mine!", Drakken shouted as he raised his hands into the air.

"And what is it that you want actually? This doesn't have anything to do with Norman Osborn kicking your ass at the H.A.M.M.E.R. meeting does it? Because if you're wondering, it was your fault that he beat the crap out of you. I told you that you shouldn't have joked about the Green Goblin thing... or question his sexuality when you asked him why he hired Daken to be with his Dark Avengers.", Shego mocked as a smirk crossed his face.

"No! It does not! And how was I supposed to know that that freak with the mohawk and claws was bisexual? Osborn never could take a joke! Besides... he has to be nuts to allow that psycho Sentry to join his team... especially after what him and that Hulk creature did to New York!", Drakken yelled before letting out a low growl.

"Uh huh, sure. Are you sure you're not gay, Dr. D? I mean that was so funny when Daken slapped your butt and winked at you before he left! And you thought he was just being nice! I nearly busted a lung from laughing so hard! Anyways, are you sure you're not just jealous that Osborn was a big time villain, and you aren't?", Shego questioned, enjoying herself as she mocked Drakken.

"No! I am not gay! And no I'm not jealous of a show off like Osborn! This has nothing to do with that at all!", Drakken yelled in utter outrage.

"Okay... okay... so whatever you got planned... it has nothing to do with the fact that you're gay or that you're jealous of Norman Osborn.", Shego replied, wondering if Drakken noticed the sexual insult.

"Exactly. It has nothing to do with that. No... it involves a laboratory in the Nevada Desert. Are you listening, Shego?", Drakken replied as he look questioningly at the pale green villainess.

"Yeah, I'm listening. Something about a lab in Nevada. Go on.", Shego remarked as she waved her hand.

"Yes, well... there is a laboratory in Nevada that has some certain top secret documents on an experimentive super soldier formula. I'm sure you're familiar with Captain America?", Drakken asked, gaining a contempt nod from Shego.

"Well... as you know he was unique for he was the only one that survived those early tests. However... now that science has developed... there is rumor that a new super soldier formula is in the top secret lab in the Nevada Desert! And if it isn't... then at least we can steal some of Osborn's plans for his new H.A.M.M.E.R. weapons.", Drakken informed with a smug grin.

"Ha! I knew it was just something to get back at Osborn! I just knew it! That is so lame!", Shego laughed uncontrolably.

"Stop laughing, Shego! It is not! I'm just saying we shouldn't leave empty handed!", Drakken snarled.

"Sure it is, Drew! If I didn't know any better I would say you're obsessed with out doing Osborn! Are you sure you're not gay?", Shego asked as she continued laughing controlably.

Having had enough of Shego's mocking, Drakken turns and leaves the room, mumbling something about using synthodrones from now on. It did Shego good that she could make Drakken lose his temper and stomp out of the room. Besides the pay and the once a year spa trips, she really did enjoy mocking Drakken.

Still it was not enough to keep her from her decision. This would be the last operation or scheme she was going to work with Drakken. After this whack plan fails, she is gone for good! She had more than enough money to retire, and plus she was thinking of going on her own in the villain department.

Not the take over the world kind, but the more profitable thieving kind or assassin. It pays well, and she wouldn't have to worry about the annoying ranting of a blue skinned lunatic. Yep, from now on, Shego is going to be looking out for herself and nobody else!

I wonder what it will be like when Kimmie and I meet next? I should just take her out of the game. I've been holding back all these years, and now since I'm going out on my own, I might as well show her that she was never a match for me! The only reason I didn't do it sooner would be the fact in that I don't kill people unless I have no other choice... and the fact that without Princess I wouldn't have that much competition.

Still... I could always steal her boyfriend from her too... he is kinda cute, despite being her lapdog and a good guy! I'll think it over once I steal whatever stuff from the lab that Dr. D wants, and then I'll just see where I go from there. Shego mused to herself as she grabbed the sales issue of Club Banana and began looking at the page where she left off of.

Secret Laboratory

Nevada Desert

Ever since the World War Hulk incident, Bruce has been wanting to cure himself or at least take control of his savage persona. And it seems like he has another problem to worry about... the Red Hulk! It seems that whoever this Red Hulk was, he was intent on killing the Hulk... but Bruce feared if the Red Hulk pushed Hulk too far... that the Green Scar could emerge!

And if the Green Scar emerged... it could lead to the World Breaker! That is why Bruce was here, for in this lab he has been coming up with a formula that could allow him to get rid of the Hulk... for good! Problem was there was also a high risk... the formula that he had created... there was a 60% chance that the Hulk persona would take over... permanently!

But it was worth the risks, and Bruce knew that he had no other choice! Unknown to Bruce Banner, someone else knew of his plans to rid himself of the Hulk... and he wouldn't allow that to happen! The monstrous figure watched as Banner entered the lab during the night as the full moon shined bright in the darkened skys.

If anyone was going to kill the Hulk... it was going to be him! He must not let that pathetic Banner take away his victory over the Hulk! He almost defeated the Hulk the last time, but he was foolish, and it resulted in his defeat! This time would be different... for this time... he was going to kill the Hulk!

Bruce went to the lab, where his finished formula awaited. He keyed in the security pass code, allowing the door to open as he entered. He looked around, wondering why he felt like someone was watching him? The security cameras were off as well as the security system, yet he still couldn't help but feel that someone was watching him.

Come on, Bruce... you're just paranoid! Years of being on the run have made you paranoid... it doesn't mean that someone is here! Just check the final test results and then take the formula... then the Hulk will be gone! Bruce told himself as he walked into the lab.

"I just hope this works... for my sake... as well as the entire world!", Bruce said to himself as he began the necessary procedures to test the formula.

Outside the giant figure stood in the darkness over looking the laboratory, his eyes glowing as red as his skin... for it was the Red Hulk who has come to kill the Hulk! He would not be denied his revenge on that green monstrous gamma irradiated freak! He was going to go in there... stop Banner from taking the formula... and kill the Hulk once he came out to play!

The thought of finally killing that green monstrosity made an evil smirk cross Rulk's face. He was interupted from his thoughts as he noticed a flying machine or hovercraft of some sort land near the entrance of the laboratory building.

"Who the hell would break in at this hour?", Rulk snarled to himself in a whisper.

He soon got his answer as a young woman with pale green/white skin wearing a green & black jumpsuit, and a older man with blue skin and dark blue clothing walked out of the craft. Rulk never seen either of them before in person, but yet he was intrigued by these new arrivals. This could get very interesting, Rulk mused to himself as he hid in the darkness.

Shego and Drakken walked in the building, amazed to see that none of the security cameras or system were online. Shego was still causious when entering, making sure the way was clear as she gave Drakken the okay sign. The last thing I need is to have the bumbling blue moron set of an alarm or something.

God knows, Kimmie will proably be here in any minute, knowing her. Well, at least I can get some exercise and finally show little miss perfect that she isn't in my league. Then... maybe... just maybe I'll try to flirt with her boyfriend... just to see it irk her. Shego thought to herself as a ghost of a smile appeared on her face.

"Yo! Dr. D! The coast is clear! Get your blue butt movin'!", Shego called to the not so good doctor.

"Shego! Do be quiet! Just because the security systems is offline doesn't mean this place is safe!", Dr. Drakken shouted.

"Whatever! Let's just get this lame super soldier formula or H.A.M.M.E.R. weapon plans or whatever and get out of here!", Shego snarled.

"What's the hurry, Shego? It's not like anyone else is here!", Drakken complained.

"Hello! Earth to blue dimwit! If we're here, it won't take Kimmie long to figure out that we're here! If you want your stupid formula... then we have to move... as in now!", Shego replied angerly.

He is such an idiot! We get busted by Kimmie and her sidekick boyfriend a million times, and yet he still is surprised that she shows up? It is certain... this is the last time I work for Drakken! I'm not putting up with his moronic antics and whacked plans anymore! After this, he's on his own!

"How do you even know she'll show up?", Drakken asked stupidly.

"Because she always shows up you idiot!", Shego answered with snarl.

"Well this time is different! This time I will succeed! In no time, the world will be mine!", Drakken shouted as he raised his hands in the air.

"Yeah, and then you can make Osborn your own personal sex toy!", Shego mocked, earning a growl from Drakken who faced her.

"If you like him so much, why don't you go work with him?", Drakken questioned angerly.

"Yeah... umm... no thanks. Even though Osborn would pay me a lot of money to be on his team... there is no way in hell I'm working with the likes of... psycho Bob The Sentry or war crazed Ares... and not to mention... that crazy moody bitch Moonstone... bisexual back stabbing Daken... smartass nutcase Bullseye... and the rest of the Dark Avengers! No thank you! I'm better off on my own!", Shego retorted as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Fine! Whatever! If you want to go on your own, be my guest! But at least can you help me get this formula and the plans before you set off on your own?", Drakken groaned as he walked past Shego.

"Sure thing, Dr. D. The sooner I get this job done, the sooner I can leave.", Shego remarked casually.

Drakken & Shego proceeded down to the lab, quietly approaching the main room where it was most likely where both the plans for the H.A.M.M.E.R. weapons and the super soldier serum were. As they cautiously made their way to the room, Shego heard someone in the room talking to themselves.

It was then that she noticed a man in a white lab coat, with short brown hair, who appeared to be in his mid or late thirties. He appeared to be testing something, as Shego and Drakken watched in total silence. Bruce Banner then lifted a small canister of green liquid, examining it under the light, completely unaware of the two villains watching him.

It was finally complete... now all he had to do is hope and pray... knowing that he was taking a huge risk with a 60% chance that the Hulk persona could take over completely... but he knew it was worth it! If he could rid the world of that monstrous green persona of his... maybe he could finally find peace!

"This is it, Bruce. No going back now! It's time to finish this once and for all!", Bruce said to himself.

It was at that moment that Drakken & Shego bursted into the room! To say that Bruce was shocked by these intruders was an understatement as he nearly dropped the canister containing the formula! Bruce looked at the two intruders, taking in their unusual appearences.

One was a young female with long dark raven hair, pale green white skin, and was wearing a green & black jumpsuit with matching green & black gloves and boots. The other was a man, appearing to be in his early fourties, with a light blue skin tone, and was wearing dark blue clothing with black gloves and footwear.

Banner never seen them before, but he knew that they were hear for a reason... well at least the blue man was, for it seemed like the young woman was utterly disinterested in the whole thing. Can't say I blame her because Mr. Blue appears to be an annoying man to say the very least!

"I'll be taking that! Thank you!", Drakken smirked as he swiped the canister of the formula out of Bruce's hands.

"Who are you? What are you doing?", Bruce demanded.

"I am the most deadly villain in the world my scientific friend... my name is Doctor Drakken!", the blue egostical maniac shouted evilly.

"Never heard of you. And by the way... you can't be the most evil person on the planet... haven't you heard of Victor Von Doom or Norman Osborn? Now those men are evil... you're just... how can I say this? Second or third rate at best.", Bruce replied.

"Finally someone points it out to him!", Shego remarked from the back of the room.

"Keep out of this Shego!", Drakken yelled.

"Now is that anyway to talk to a lady?", Bruce mocked.

"Listen here... whoever you are... I am a bad man! And nothing is going to stop me from getting this super soldier formula!", Drakken shouted as he glared at Banner.

"My name is Bruce Banner, blue boy! And what you have there is not the super soldier formula! It's a cure... for me and I need it right now!", Bruce shouted in defiance.

Drakken stepped back as Shego fired a warning shot of plasma at Bruce Banner's feet, making him fall back on his hind quarters. Bruce was surprised by the blast that came from the young woman's right hand, for he never expected such a thing from common criminals or businessmen. Drakken towered over the sitting form of Banner, that same smug smile of villainy on his face.

"You see Dr. Banner, I'm not a patient man... and what I want... I get! So if you'll just hand over the files to the super soldier serum and the H.A.M.M.E.R. weapons... then I can asure you that no harm will come to you.", Drakken informed.

"Please! I'm begging you! Give me my cure! You don't know what you're dealing with!", Bruce shouted, his irritation growing as he looked up at the blue maniac in front of him.

"Oh really, Dr. Banner? I know exactly what I'm doing! I plan to create an army of super soldiers and take over the world!", Drakken replied as he began laughing maniacally.

Bruce noticed that young woman, known as Shego, rolling her eyes as Drakken ranted. She must not care for his idiotic tendecies either. Who could blame her? This moron was a second rate villain trying to take over the world! Did he not know that it wasn't going to be as easy as he thinks? I wonder if I can use this to my advantage, Bruce thought to himself as he looked at Shego in the back of the room.

"Is he always this annoying?", Bruce asked her.

"Oy! You have no idea!", Shego replied.

"Zip it, Shego! And as for you, Dr. Banner... you got ten seconds to give me the H.A.M.M.E.R. plans and the formula... or else I'll get rid of you myself!", Drakken threatened.

"Is that a threat, Drakken? Because it's one of the lamest threats I've ever heard. Not to mention one of the most unwisest. And I told you that that isn't the super soldier serum... it's a cure for my condition, you blue skinned imbecilic moron!", Bruce replied, making sure not to let his temper get the better of him.

"Just give him the green goo already! It's aparent that it isn't the super soldier formula! For all you know, there wasn't any super soldier serum here to begin with!", Shego groaned, clearly tired of Drakken's antics.

"Stay out of this, Shego! This is between me and Dr. Banner! So if you don't mind...", Drakken managed to bark out before he was tackled to the floor by Bruce Banner.

Shego watched as the two doctors struggled with each other on the floor. She had no intentions of getting involved unless she needed to. Besides, maybe enough time will pass for Kimmie and her boyfriend to arrive. At least then I can have some fun. Shego mused to herself.

Bruce and Drakken still struggled on the floor, both scientists hoping to get and keep the canister filled with green goo. Finally, Bruce managed to rip it from the blue mad man's clutches, punching Drakken in the face so it would force him to release his grip.

Bruce walked back up against the wall, thankful that he finally got his cure away from the blue lunatic! Angry from Shego's insults and Banner's mocking, Drakken rises to his feet and points a hand held ray gun at Dr. Banner. He was going to have the super soldier serum... regardless of how he intended to get it!

"That's far enough, Banner! I don't need you for the formula or the H.A.M.M.E.R. weapon plans! I'll get them myself, thank you very much! Farewell, Dr. Bruce Banner!", Drakken snarled as a droplet of blood ran down his chin.

Bruce knew that if Drakken shot him, he would either be killed or the stress would unleash the Hulk! Shego herself was not going to let Drakken kill Dr. Banner, for she may be evil, but killing was a last resort! And she was not going to let Drakken kill this guy how obviously didn't know anything about the super soldier serum or the H.A.M.M.E.R. weapons. She could sense it when people lied, and she knew that Banner wasn't lying.

Before Drakken could pull the trigger, a monstrous red hand engulfed Drakken's skull and proceeded to brutally crush it! Drakken's crys went unheard as his body went limp as the massive red hand released his dead limp body. Walking into the room, his savage eyes burning like fire as the gigantic form of the Red Hulk appeared.

"Annoying little bastard... if anyone is going to kill Banner... it's gonna be me!", Rulk smiled evilly.

Shego was surprised by the arrival of this... creature in front of her. Figures, I expect Kimmie and company, and instead I get a eight foot tall red monster! Shego mused to herself as her eyes looked upon the Red Hulk. She was not going to be intimidated by anyone! Especially not by this big red freak!

"So who the hell are you supposed to be? Santa on steroids?", Shego mocked.

"I'm the Red Hulk. And that's all you need to know!", Rulk replied in a emotionless tone.

"Yeah, well just to let you know... I'm not afraid of you. But I got to give you credit. You shut up Drakken better than my mocking ever could. But if you think you're gonna kill that Dr. Banner scientist guy or whoever... I got news for ya, cause it ain't happening! Not while I still breathe!", Shego warned as she ignited her hands in green plasma.

"Playing the hero, Miss Go? I thought you were evil... or is it all talk?", Rulk remarked.

"How the hell do you know who I am?", Shego asked in confusion and rage.

"Let's just say that I've read your files on Global Justice & S.H.I.E.L.D., and I know a bit about you. Now... if you don't mind... I got to kill Dr. Banner.", Rulk replied as he looked away from Shego and turned towards Bruce Banner.

Rulk slowly stalked forward, intent on making Bruce Hulk-out, so he would finally get the chance to kill his green counterpart. Before Rulk could reach Banner, a powerful blast of green plasma struck his side, sending him smashing back against the wall.

Red Hulk's eyes glowed red with fury as heat began irradiating off his body when his eyes came upon his attacker. There standing in her fighting stance, her hands ignited in green plasma, her emerald eyes showing her defiance, stood Shego.

"Why don't you pick on someone who can fight or are you afraid a girl's gonna kick your butt, Rulk?", Shego sneered.

"Very well. I'll take you out, then I'll kill Banner!", Rulk snarled.

Red Hulk lunged at Shego, his massive fists smashing whatever they connected with while Shego avoided the blows and slashed at the red giant with her plasma incased hands. Taking advantage of the situation, Bruce takes off the lid to the canister and downs the entire formula.

While Bruce was busy drinking the cure, Shego had her hands full with the Red Hulk. She managed to hurt the brute, tearing large gashes in his flesh, which allowed yellow blood to seep out onto the tiled floors of the room. However, the wounds quickly healed, despite Shego's continuing attacks!

She landed several good strong shots to Rulk's face, drawing blood and breaking his nose, but it seemed to only anger the red brute, rather than actually harm him! Finally, Rulk caught one of her kicks, allowing him to throw Shego, who smashed through several concrete walls. Rulk rampaged out of the room, intent on finishing off his female foe before she could recover and interupt his plans for Banner.

Unknown to Red Hulk, Bruce has already taken the formula... but what happened was the last thing Banner wanted! He felt pain coursing through his body and mind, ripping away at his body as he began to transform! Bruce's eyes glowed green as he let out a scream of pure pain as spasms shook his body, for he knew that he had failed... that he would soon be no more... and that the Hulk has taken over!

His body began to grow and expand, as massive green muscles formed his legs, arms, chest, shoulder, and his entire body! It was an extremely painful transformation from human scientist into... an unstoppable, indestructible, rampaging green goliath!

Meanwhile, Shego has managed to hold her own against the ruthless Red Hulk, but even she was not as durable or as strong as the red gamma juggernaut! Shego lunged at Rulk, delivering kick to his groin before smashing her plasma incased fists into his face, once again drawing more yellow blood from the Red Hulk.

Shego managed to use Red Hulk's strength and size against him, judo slamming the thousand pound brute into the earth with devastating impact! For several moments, Rulk's body lay still and unmoving, his eyes closed shut. Shego walked over to his body cautiously, giving the still form a swift kick, and getting no reaction.

Did I win? It seems just a little bit two easy if you ask me... then again this guy is beyond anything human... and he has taken more punishment then anyone human could have... so maybe all the blood loss knocked him out? It could be possible, Shego mused to herself.

Unfortunately, that was what Red Hulk wanted her to believe as she eyes snapped open as he lunged up and grabbed Shego by her throat and slammed her into the strata! His massive red right hand began slowly choking the life out of Shego as a sadistic smile crept over his features.

"You got guts, Miss Go. Too bad... you did a lot better than those other heroic morons... but you must learn that... I AM MY OWN MONSTER!", Rulk snarled as he continued to choke the life out of Shego.

When it seems as if this would be Shego's last fight... a massive green hand rips and prys Rulk's right hand from her throat. The last thing she sees before going unconscious is the face of her savior. Red Hulk turned to face his new threat, revealing it to be the Hulk... and he was pissed off!

"Leave glowing lady alone!", Hulk roared.

"Finally!", Rulk snarled.

Rulk swings a right fist only for Hulk to block it and strike him with a savage left punch. The hit was more powerful than Rulk remembered, as it left him slightly dazed as yellow blood seeped out of his shattered face. Of course it has been awhile since I last fought the Hulk, Rulk mused.

"Hulk Smash Red Hulk!", Hulk roared savagely.

Before Rulk could even react, Hulk swings a powerful right uppercut, sending Rulk soaring out of the laboratory and crashing into a nearby peak, the impact of his landing causing the mountain peak to collapse and bury Rulk under hundreds of tons of boulders! Hulk lets out a savage growl, his rage fighting with his concern, as he looked down at the unconscious body of Shego.

Hulk kneeled down, looking at Shego as he began gently caressing her pale green skin with his index finger. As much as he wanted to stay and kill that evil Red Hulk, he knew that he should take Shego to safety. Hulk returned his eyes to look at Shego as his massive right hand touched her soft silk like skin and her long dark raven hair.

She was his friend... she was green like him... angry like him... and he would help her. Gently, Hulk lifted Shego within his massive green arms, holding her firmly yet gently as her head rested against his chest. He looked down at her, noticing a small cut on her right cheek. He was her savior... he was her protector... he was her friend.

"Hulk will save green glowing girl. Hulk won't let anyone hurt you again. Hulk promise.", Hulk said to Shego's unconscious form.

With one great leap, Hulk soared off into the distance, intent on taking Shego to safety. For the first time... Hulk and Shego have crossed pathes... but one question remained. How was Shego going to react once she looked upon the face of her giant green savior?

Author's Notes

Well, the first chapter is up! So what did you guys and gals think? I think I really nailed it with Shego and her unique personality! She's sarcastic, strong, and intelligent! I love her character! I laughed myself silly when I came up with her remarks towards Drakken's actions towards a previous meeting with Norman Osborn and the Dark Avengers! It is just so fun to insult Dr. D, because well he's annoying and he gets what he deserves!

I know a lot of you think that Hulk & Shego are going to have a quick romance, right? Wrong! I intend to take it slow and easy with their unique relationship. It will start out as friends and eventually lead to romance, but don't expect it just yet! If you're wondering, yes I despise Jeph Loeb's run on the Hulk comics, but Rulk has grown on me. Which is why he is the main antagonist in this story! Just be thankful that Loeb is gone and Jeff Parker is working with Rulk from now on!

If you're wondering what version or persona of the Hulk I'm using, it's a combination of the Savage & Green Scar personas. I wanted Bruce Banner out of the picture, because I felt he would complicate matters, so I have the Hulk persona taking complete control! Expect more humor, drama, and action in the next chapter! Also, there will be some Marvel characters guest starring in future chapters... so keep reading!

I hope all of you enjoyed this first chapter, because I sure as hell did! Don't forget to read and review my work! The more reviews I get, the more I write! See ya later!
