V3 Chapter 32 - Duel of Harlem 1 - The Battle Begins

RYAN POV

My thoughts went blank for a moment and then they went overdrive as I felt the time seemed to slow down in that moment as I pushed all my energy into my feet trying to get close to her.

My thinking was faster than ever before as my mind calculated my chances in an instant and I knew....

....I am too slow...

.....and as soon as I reached that conclusion I felt my emotions go haywire.

As I forcefully calmed myself, not slowing down even for a moment my eyes took note of everything in the surroundings, I saw the grin on the monster's face and felt a wave of powerlessness.

'That bas*ard did it on purpose.'

I realized and then.....

...I felt a Rage burning through me.

'I won't let it.'

My thoughts roared despite feeling the imminent failure of my efforts.

While the rational side of my mind told me to give up and stop as my effort seemed futile, I refused and willed my body to move.

'Move....' 

'...Move fast...'

'...FASTER!!!'

I pushed myself using the burning rage and pushed everything I had in my body, every ounce of energy with just one desire..

...to go faster..

...and then I felt it.

I felt something change, like the release of a shackle, I saw a slight shade of red as I moved faster.

My mind responded to my renewed capacity and like responding to my desires it planned my next actions, my body moved on instinct, with agility like never before.

Before the hurling car could reach her I put my feet on a fire hydrant and jumped past her towards it.

As I jumped over her head, I placed my feet forward planting them on the car's roof in midair and pushed off, with the weight of the car pushing against me my momentum was reversed in an instant and as I was thrown back towards Sasha.

I could feel the strain on my legs, the tearing of muscles and the crackling of bones but ignoring all of that I focused on my goal.

Using the momentum I grabbed Sasha and we were sent hurling through the air.

I wrapped her in my embrace, bear-hugging her putting one hand behind her head.

My back made contact with the concrete floor and I was sent rolling like a ragdoll as I held onto her.

The monster looked at us in surprise and started making its way towards us...

....but just as it walked halfway, there was a loud slamming sound behind it causing it to look back.

I also looked towards the source of the sound and saw a big green hand pop out from the middle of the road.

I knew who that hand belonged to and seemingly the monster also recognized the Hulk as it ignored us keeping its attention on the newest addition to the field.

Seeing that the monster wasn't paying attention to us I quickly stood on my feet and checked my situation.

A broken hand, a few broken ribs, cracked leg bones, a dislocated shoulder, minor internal bleeding and severe damage to all leg muscles.

'Nothing I can't survive.'

I thought as pain wrecked my nerves.

I looked at Sasha in my and saw that she was unconscious and seeing the attention away from me I quickly took her away into the alleys.

Put her down with my working hand and used the same hand to pull out an injector from my inner pocket, stabbed it in my leg and put the syringe back in my pocket.

'What? You thought I will throw it after use so that some villain will trace it back to me with some bullshit detective way and blackmail me? No way!!!'

(AN - Damn! He skipped the Hydra kidnap...meeting.)

Shrugging away the weird thoughts I felt the medicine pour into my body, I used my leftover energy to guide it to the damaged areas needing urgent repairs.

I put my hand in the back pocket and checked my phone.

Despite the damage I suffered the phone was all right.

ALL HAIL NOKIA!!

.

 'I should buy the patent for the materials they use for these mobiles to make some military-grade defensive equipment.'

I shrugged off these thoughts too as I felt the medicine start working, I made my way into an empty clothing store and took a coat to cover Sasha and me to avoid cameras.

'Good thing I memorised the map of the whole town.'

I praised myself for that decision as I was making my way through the alleys.

After I got away from the scene of the incident and the congested areas I called my parents and confirmed their safety, then I called Aunt Heather and asked her to pick us up from an out-of-surveyance area.

As soon as a notion of safety came to my mind my body started giving up as I felt a spell of dizziness come over me, feeling that I would go unconscious soon I quickly shook Sasha, hoping to wake her up.

As my mind was growing hazy I saw Sasha wake up, I quickly handed her my phone dialling Aunt Heather's number and told her to wait for Aunt Heather to pick us up.

As soon as the call connected and Aunt Heather's voice sounded I fell unconscious.

SHIELD HQ

NEW YORK

07:28 PM

A few minutes after a certain greenish monster started a war with the American military on the streets of Manhattan, a certain director 'Nicholas Joseph Fury', spy chief of SHIELD received the news.

As soon as he heard a giant wreaking havoc on the streets of New York he made a call to a certain 'Agent Romanoff'.

The call soon connected and he asked hurriedly

"Why is Banner raging in Manhattan?"

Asked Fury.

"I am sorry sir, but I have just reached the scene and I can inform you with certainty that the monster which is wreaking havoc here is not Hulk or Dr Banner if you wish to call him."

Answered Agent Romanoff as sounds of running and screaming sounded in the background of her voice.

"Who is it then?"

Questioned Fury.

"From the information I have it is 'Emil Blonsky' who injected himself with Dr. Banner's gamma-irradiated blood with the help of late Dr Samuel Sterns and has now transformed into a monster...OH SHIT!"

Natasha Romanoff suddenly exclaimed in the middle of her explanation.

"WHAT HAPPENED?"

Asked Fury as he heard the exclamation.

"GREAT!!.. OH NO! RUN!!.. Ohhhh~ They're safe."

But Natasha didn't explain as she continued speaking.

"WHAT HAPPENED AGENT ROMANOFF?? GIVE ME A STATUS SITUATION!?"

Fury asked with his 'fury' evident in his voice.

"I am sorry sir, the monster Emil Blonsky just threw a car at a little girl but she was saved by a boy and Damn! the way he pulled it off was mind-blowing but he must have sustained injuries from the impact."

Natasha came to her senses and explained the situation.

"Just as the monster was about to chase them Dr. Banner dropped from the sky and now a friendly (?) green giant has entered the scene giving the kids a chance which the boy used to escape. I will show you the footage when I get back."

Continued Natasha as she quickly made her escape from the vicinity of the two clashing giants.
