Bobbi “What kind of name is that anyway?  She-Hulk?  Is there a He-Hulk, too?”

Maria “Agent Morse, I know you’re called ‘Mockingbird’ for a reason, but for now please stop it.”

Shannon “So what can we do?  How do stop it?  Or her?”

Carol “I was about to ask the same thing Agent Carter just did.  One of the reporters was saying something about that…She-Hulk or whatever kidnapping someone.”

Victoria “We’re not entirely sure, Agent Danvers.”

Natalia “Wait.”

Everyone now looks at Agent Romanov, who like Mockingbird has garnered her own nickname in the field, “Black Widow.”

Natalia “When I was doing surveillance, there was a conversation between Stark and Storm.”

Maria “Yes and Agent May’s been assigned to Storm ever since.”

Victoria “That’s a whole other issue, especially with what happened to the shooter.  Why mention this?”

Natalia “Their lawyer was also there.  Jennifer Walters, she’s the fiancee of Elizabeth Ross.”

Nicole “The General’s daughter.”

Natalia “During the conversation before I had to clear out, Walters had talked about taking a trip to New Mexico with Ross to visit Ross’s father.  It‘s possible they may have been witnesses to whatever happened.”

Nicole “It’s also possible ol’ Thunderbolt did something really, really stupid.  I would not put it past him.  I have talked with that man more than once and he’s…very strong on his convictions.  We did not get along.  Took offense to so many women running an anti-terrorist organization and having one in charge.  So now…we get to clean up his mess.  Carter, Danvers, I have something different for you.  Black Widow, Mockingbird, Agents Hill and Hand are going to go over the plans on dealing with the She-Hulk, because last reports had her moving East.  Ladies, I need to make a call.”

Westchester County, New York.

They watch the coverage together of She-Hulk’s destruction.

Jean “Wow.”

Charles “Indeed.  Miss Grey, it appears Marvel Girl and the X-Factor are going to be needed.  I don’t like the circumstances, but this is still an opportunity united the gifted and the ungifted.  Plus, if that She-Hulk is heading East, that means-”

Jean “It could be heading towards us.”

Charles “Put together a plan and make it happen.”

Jean “Will do, Professor.”

New York City.

Natasha Stark, Pepper Potts, and Sue Storm have put a halt on their research, taking in the coverage themselves.  Also in the room with them is Agent Melinda May of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Melinda “You’ll probably be getting-”

Natasha’s cellphone rings.

Natasha “A call?  Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.”

Natasha answers.

Natasha “Hey, we’re looking at it here in the office.”

Natasha looks over at Sue.

Natasha “Yeah, she’s good.  Doing better.”

Sue looks over at Agent May, unhappy with the monitoring up close.

Natasha “Still not a big fan of the babysitter though.”

Agent May rolls her eyes.

Elsewhere in New York City, there is a lonely apartment with a television on.  The coverage of the destruction in New Mexico is only background for Maria Castle.  She is still recovering.  She is still mourning.  She is still very much angry.  She is miffed at the news of the shooter’s death, found in a heap in some alleyway.

Stripped out of her clothing, save for black underwear she looks over the attire once more.  It is all black, including a leotard which appears to be missing something.  Maria holds in her hand a can of hot pink spray.  The front of the leotard is then made over with a pink, menacing skull spray painted on.  She holds the leotard up.  At one time, it was merely something to exercise in.  Her beloved Frank had picked it out as a Valentine’s gift.  It was a reminder of their love.  It is now a reminder of what she lost that day in the park.  Soon, it will serve as a reminder of punishment.

Maria “…Those bastards are worried about a She-Hulk.  They need to worry about me.  Because for all this loss…I will be their Punisher.”
