“Incredible” Chapter 7 The Hulk Library (www.hulklibrary.com) advanced genetics on the level he was talking about. But he held his tongue and listened. And his pounding heartbeat gradually slowed. Woodgod was walking back and forth, hands clasped behind his broad back. "I knew David had problems. But I thought he had found a measure of peace here. We would stay up late into the night talking about how we would educate The Changelings and make them into a better race than humanity. David was very disappointed with his own kind and the way that genetic research had been misused in the country. But I had no idea he was depressed to the extent that he would kill himself and his family." It occurred to Woodgod that his guest had suddenly become awfully quiet and he turned just in time to catch the naked emerald form of Bruce Banner. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His mouth was extremely dry as he slowly regained consciousness. Bruce was lying on a low cot and he felt sore all over as if somebody had been beating on him with a giant meat tenderizer. He struggled to sit up and was helped by Woodgod who appeared as if by magic. Bruce marveled at how quickly and quietly he could move on those hooves when he wanted to. "How do you feel?" Woodgod’s concern was obviously genuine as he helped Bruce to a sitting position. "Sore. Tired. Terribly thirsty." "I’m not surprised. Here." Woodgod passed over a plastic gallon jug of water and Bruce lifted a hand to take it. And stopped. He stared at the hand and the arm attached to it as if he’d never seen either before. The arm and hand were no longer green. It was white. Bruce looked at his other arm, his torso. True, he was still hairless but his skin had returned to its normal color. Bruce looked up at Woodgod in wonderment. "What happened to me? Did YOU-" Woodgod smiled. "When you collapsed I examined you to make sure your vital signs were stable. While I conducted by examination I took the liberty of restoring your normal skin pigmentation." "How’d you know that green wasn’t my normal skin color?" - Page 12 of 15 -
“Incredible” Chapter 7 The Hulk Library (www.hulklibrary.com) "Come now, Dr. Banner. I may have isolated myself from humanity but that does not mean I’m not aware of events in the world. Especially the many superhumans who inhabit the planet. And due to our first meeting I took a special interest in you and your alter ego. If I hadn’t been so consumed with rage at finding my friends dead I would have recognized you. I’ve certainly seen enough pictures of you to know who Dr. Robert Bruce Banner is." Bruce smiled through his acute embarrassment. "You’re right. And I truly apologize. I should be thanking you for your help. You’d think that I out of all people would know enough not to judge by appearance." He held out a hand and Woodgod shook it. "I suppose you were heading to town when I attacked you?" "Yes I was. If you could provide me with some clothes I’d be most grateful. I have to get to Seattle as soon as possible." Woodgod nodded. "Why not stay the night? Rest and get your strength back. I’ll fetch fresh clothing for you from David’s cabin and in the morning I’ll show you where David’s jeep is. You can take it. I have no use for it." "I didn’t see a jeep." Woodgod grinned. "There was no reason for him to keep it near the cabin since there’s no roads there. If you don’t know where to look you’d never find the shed where he keeps it stored. I’ll show you where it is. There’s a decent goat path that will take you to the access road and you can link up to the interstate from there." "I don’t know how to thank you." "No need, Dr. Banner. No need at all." Woodgod did not think it prudent to inform Bruce that as far as Woodgod was concerned he had already been thanked by the DNA samples he had extracted from Bruce while he was unconscious. His overwhelming scientific curiosity wouldn’t allow Woodgod to let such an opportunity slip away and four vials of Bruce Banner’s DNA were safely locked away where Woodgod would examine them at his leisure. Woodgod’s smiled widened as he said: "Absolutely no need to thank me at all, I assure you." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Page 13 of 15 -
