"Just so you know, Emma will be livid when she realizes that we snuck out." I said with a smile as I looked at my father, who simply shrugged while fiddling with the gadget in his hand.
"You seem rather popular at Utopia, I'm sure that you'll be able convince her that it was no big deal?"
"Shouldn't you, as the responsible adult here, be the one to convince her?"
"I just took you and your brother to the latest site of gamma signature without notifying your... headmistress, I guess. What part of me looks like a responsible adult?" He said with a laugh and I couldn't help but agree with him, much like the rest of our motley crew which was made up by my brother, Hercules and Cho.
"Indeed, why you might just be the second least responsible father I've ever met my friend." Hercules said with a chuckle. "Right after my father."
We joked and laughed for a while, it almost made me feel like we were a normal family instead of a group of very troubled individuals with power to reshape the world if we ever went out of control.
"Any news from the Warbound?" I asked while looking around, both with my eyes and mind and through the earth.
"No, they should be here soon though." My father said with a frown. "It's not like them to be late but the tracker on Rick is showing that he's coming close and he's supposed to be with them."
"You have a tracker on your friend?" Amadeus asked with a raised eyebrow but no judgement.
"Someone needs to keep an eye on Rick as much a possible, though I expect that eve this won't help me keep him out of trouble for long." Father said with a scoff before looking down on his device. "He's moving awfully fast though, did they manage to find a plane or something?"
"Not one Sakaaran rock ships?" I asked and he shook his head.
"They… broke the last one a week ago when Red Hulk attacked them." He said with a sigh.
"Yeah, I don't think your friend is coming with a plane." Amadeus cut into our conversation with the grave of a bull in a china shop.
"What makes you think that?" The answer my father got to his question was Amadeus pointing to the sky and when we followed his finger, our gazes found a very blue meteor flying towards us. Though it was rather weird that the meteor had arms and legs and was flaying them around in panic.
"Incoming!" The meteor screamed and we all ran away for cover, with Hercules grabbing Amadeus and Skaar grabbing father, before the meteor impacted the ground.
When the smoke cleared out, the true identity of the meteor was revealed to be a huge creature that looked somewhat similar to Abomination; whose ass Skaar and I had kicked. Except instead of the green and scaly skin, this one had blue plated skin; kind of like that of an armadillo.
"Rick." Father yelled as he got out of Skaar's grasp and ran towards the downed blue giant that I finally realized the identity of.
Rick Jones, the irresponsible and stupid kid who had been close to the gamma test who had to be saved by father and indirectly caused him to become the Hulk. Later on he would become something of a sidekick, and one of the few people who never sold father out, of Hulk while getting some powers and then losing them. His current power was being a blue gamma mutate, better known as, A-Bomb.
"Heya Bruce." A-Bomb said with a groan as he raised his right arm with what looked like an herculean amount of effort. "So, I got some bad news and am really hoping that you got a way to move us real quick cause the bad news is that we got ambushed and I don't think the rest of the gang is doing very hot right now."
That was all I needed to hear before using telekinesis to levitate my father, Amadeus and A-Bomb before flying in the direction the blue gamma mutate had came from; with Hercules and Skaar coming from behind with huge leaps.
The flight likely took less than five minutes, yet each second felt like hours until I finally reached the Warbound fighting their assailants. Four brightly dressed men and one who looked like he was made of stone. The identity of the first four was easy to discern from the huge crowbar one of them was holding, identifying them as the Wrecking Crew. The last one on the other hand I couldn't place, that is until I looked at the Warbound.
Korg the Kronan and Kate were fine, if looking worn down. Brood and Eloe on the other hand, they were not there. Instead there were a pair of status that looked like them and this made the identity of the last assailant known as a white hot rage made itself known to me.
Grey Gargoyle. A former scientist turned mutate with delusions of being one of Thor's enemies with the power to turn anything he touched into stone.
"You dare!" I yelled as I let Amadeus and father down before accelerating and slamming my palm on the stone man's face, right before using new leverage to slam him down with a burst of Old Power before he could try to grab me.
"Kala!" I heard Korg shout my name, but I was far too busy glaring at the remaining four and preparing to rip them apart. But before I could do so, the skies turned dark and...
*BOOM*
...four bolts of lightning fell down on the Wrecking Crew, almost as if the heavens themselves had decided to smite them down for their actions. And considering the voice from above me...
"Get up! Get up you foul villains so that the son of Odin might smite thee again!"
...I wasn't that far off from mark.
