——— Bryan's P.O.V ———

.

laying down on my roof with my eyes closed as I feel the slow raindrop softly falls on my body, It's relaxing taking deep breaths and letting water brush past my skin. I always enjoyed watching the rain even in my previous life. It always had a calming effect on me, but I never had much time in my previous life to leisurely enjoy it, though. I was always busy or simply had better things to do, like any guy who's in his early twenties, and since I had started working at my family business after high school, it was even harder to do so, after all, what little free time I had, was used to hang out time with my friends.

"~tring tring~" A ringing sound broke my thoughts, looking through my x ray vision, I saw the phone Tony gave me for emergency ringing.

Wrapping the phone in Telekinesis to prevent water damaging it, I Teleported the phone right above my face, and clicked the accept button with Telekinesis.

"What is it Tony?" I questioned Tony and through the phone I can hear the background fighting noises.

"Bryan, we have an emergency. The witch has messed with Banner's brain, and an enraged Hulk is currently heading towards the Johannesburg."

Tony voice sounded, between his fighting intervals.

"I said you guys are on your own, and knowing you, you should have already prepared some contingency plans for the green guy" I denied Tony, telling my involvement's still unneeded.

"Yes, I have a plan but its not hundred percent effective, and there will be too many casualties involved if I used it." Tony's reply caused me remember about the Civil War. And although I don't remember how many people, the Hulk killed in Johannesburg, but there were many innocent people that were harmed, and one of the removed scene I watched in Avengers age of ultron, Wanda deeply regretted her decision. They never blamed her, though, and it baffles me how they completely forgot that in few days.

Anyway I still don't her to blame herself for this incident.

"Fine, I'll handle the Hulk" I hung up the phone after accepting his request.

"~Sigh".

I brought my black Kryptonian suit and wore it. After that I flew towards Johannesburg.

.

~Johannesburg, South Africa~

.

I reached the city in few minutes. Even if I'm not really flying that fast but its seems I made it at the right time, as the Hulk also landed just a few seconds ago. Dropping behind the Hulk, I whistled to call him. He slowly looks back, his eyes red like when someone pulls an all nighter to play video games.

Hulk released a rage filled roar, his anger reaching new heights after seeing me. Its seems the big guy remembered me.

I did not give him much time, and rushed at him while he was still roaring, holding his face like Ichigo did to Aizens. I dragged him outside the city and flew towards the Antarctica. The Hulk couldn't release my hold on him and was dragged like a ragged doll. Reaching the frozen continent, I threw him towards a big iceberg.

Hulk crashed into the ice and collision from it created a deep crater.

Landing at the edge of the crater, I turned off my Bio-Electric Aura. I want to see how high MCU version Hulk's power can get.

I slowly walked towards the Hulk, who was also slowly standing up.

Reaching near him, we stood face to face

His seven feet eight inches stature dwarfing my six four. We both stared at each other for some seconds before punching out, our hands colliding each other, releasing a devastating shockwave that further deepen the crater.

I sent a small combo of two jabs and an uppercut which the Hulk easily blocked and retaliated with a powerful straight punch that sent me sliding few meters back, even though I blocked it with my crossed arms. Watching Hulk easily blocking my Combo I couldn't help but feel slightly proud. I remember watching his fight against Thanos in Infinity War and feeling major disappointment at that. So, I taught him CQC while I was teaching Bruce his "Butler training"

—— 3rd person P.O.V ——

.

Bryan slowly put his arms down and raised his head to meet Hulk's eyes again.

"What? All this screaming and yelling and that's all you can do" He taunted the Hulk. Giving the Hulk a look of contempt.

Hulk rage increased and risen to new limits, and so is his size, the green giant grew from seven feet eight inches to eight feet tall, his muscles mass also increased.

Hulk jumped at Bryan bringing both his hand above his head, and smashed it down on Bryan. Bryan also didn't backed down and sent out a straight punch upwards and met with Hulk's blow.

The results were undramatic, with Hulk flying back like a cannon ball, and Bryan standing completely fine with his stretched out hand.

The most baffling part was there was no damage on the ground, as Bryan wrapped the whole iceberg in a telekinetic shield.

"I still can't feel the difference" Bryan taunted the green guy once more. And the Hulk listening to the mocking voice, roared again. His size increased by another half feet.

Bryan used his telekinesis again and completely covered the whole area, so that no shockwave and debris reaches the few kilometres away roaming penguins.

"Come" Bryan raised his hand and invited him. But this time hulk didn't jumped at him instead he ran towards him and released two swift jabs which Bryan ducked and dodge both with slight head movements. Bryan took a step forward and delivered with an uppercut that rattles Hulk's brain, followed by two jabs at his chest and a spinning kick to the green giant's head.

The Hulk flew back again and was down for nearly a minute from the brain rattling uppercut and the kick. Bryan was using only enough speed and strength that hulk can follow and take. He wants to push Hulk's rage to its limits.

The Hulk stood up and shook his head to fix the buzzing sound, but it only made it worse.

"Hey dumbo, you can throw some jabs, but the power and speed behind it are so trash, you are like a balloon, only mass but no weight." Bryan taunted Hulk for the third time, and causing him to become even bigger, now reaching nearly nine feet.

The Hulk rushed at Bryan again, but this time Bryan didn't defended or dodged, instead he slapped the Hulk at supersonic speed, sending him back again, like rag doll.

The Hulk violently slammed into the Telekinetic forcefield Bryan has created. This time the Hulk didn't stand or do anything, he dumbly looked at the sky before slowing raising his hand towards his cheeks. Hulk can still feel burning imprint of the slap, it took hulk few minutes to process what happened and after that, his eyes that were slightly red went completed red. He slowly stood up, his height reaching ten feet and stopping there, but his muscles didn't, it kept getting enlarged and compressed for minutes.

Bryan who was calmly watching all this felt that something changed in the Hulk, like some kind of limit got broken. The Hulk before cannot be comparable to the Hulk now. The Hulk before was barely tier 7-The Nuclear level but now, what Bryan can feel from his Telekinetic reinforced ground, each of those steps that Hulk's taking can submerge the New York city underwater. The Hulk's strength has definitely entered Tier 5-The planetary level.

The Hulk finally reached Bryan, and looked down at him menacingly, Bryan looked like a child standing against an adult which is laughable considering his height, The hulk has to bend down and Bryan had to crank up his neck, for their eyes to meet. Bryan raised an eyebrow at that.

"You think you scare me now?" Bryan nonchalantly questioned while staring at Hulk's menacing red eyes.

Hulk didn't said anything, and punched Bryan without any skills, just with his immense strength. Bryan easily blocked the punch, but he can feel the force behind would have reached the Earth's core and destroyed the planet if his reinforced ground didn't stopped it.

Hulk didn't stopped to think anything like Bryan, so he followed with an spartan kick that pushed Bryan back a little, his feet creating screeching noises from friction.

The Hulk rushed at Bryan and start throwing punches after punches, which Bryan kept dodging, but somehow one of them landed on Bryan, and sent him flying.

Whether Its because Bryan's doing multi-work, or his skills that has gotten rusty, or because he's holding back his speed and strength, or the hulk just got lucky, but it didn't matter to Bryan who slowly stood up after colliding with his Telekinetic forcefield. What matter to him was the the pain that he's feeling, although he didn't even got white mark on his skin, but he felt the pain, the pain he hasn't felt since the World War II.

"Hahaha! This is it! This is the feeling" Bryan laughed like he never did before, but you can't blame him because it's the first time in nearly 50 years that he felt excitement, he felt the adrenaline slowly speeding up in his body.

Hulk landed near the laughing Bryan, and delivered another punch which Bryan replied with his own. Their fist collided, the air pressures and shockwave released was so high that it managed to rip Bryan's Kryptonian suit near the wrist.

They started fighting without any worry and if Bryan's forcefield wasn't stopping the shockwave, the damage would have been unimaginable.

They continued for another ten minutes before Bryan came to an abrupt halt, and looked behind, at the small hole that hulk made in the forcefield.

Bryan repaired the forcefield and flew few hundred above the ground. He watched the hulk below him who also stopped and was staring at him.

In their 10 minutes fight, the Hulk's strength risen from the bottom of Tier 5 to the peak of Tier 5, just a tier below his base.

"~Sigh, I guess all good things has to end" Bryan sighed and released his suppressed Bio-Electric Aura. Although he's reluctant to end this fight, he knew he had to because his shield can't handle the Hulk anymore.

Teleporting right above the Hulk, Bryan used the same move he had used to end their previous fight

AllMight's United States of Smash.

The Hulk completely lost his consciousness as he couldn't react to Bryan's Tier 3 speed and strength. And returned to his human form.

Bryan knew that Hulk can never became this strong again, between the opponent always knocking before he can become this angry, or there's not many who can push him so far, to not many who can mess with his brain. Its hard to achieve such results. And the MCU version of Hulk also becomes too mellow in future.
