The Son Of The Hulk [UNDER EDIT]

Chapter 6: On The Road

[[Kate P.O.V.//Song listed above for entire chapter/Days Without Incident: 2]]

Music plays casually over the speakers of our rental car, the windows are down while the hot air from the beach blows in almost perfectly. I look over at Dawson who seems to be in his thoughts. His light blue eyes stare straight ahead, his hair blowing in the wind softly. I feel the anxiety in my gut, reminding me how serious all of this is. I'm so worried about him. I can't, even for a second, forget the way he looked when I saw him transformed. It was unlike anything I've ever seen before. It still feels like a dream—all of this being real. And if it feels that way for me...I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for him.

"You okay?" I ask, looking over at him.

He swallows before quickly turning to face me—snapping out of his daze. "Yeah I'm all right. Just thinking." He gives me a small smile. "Are you sure about this?" He asks me again.

I nod without hesitation, my eyes focusing back on the road. "One-hundred and ten percent sure. I couldn't be any more sure."

"What if...what if you get hurt, though? What if I hurt you?" His eyes look deeply into me, searching for any kind of fear. Fear of him. Fear for all of this. And don't get me wrong—I'm scared. But again...I'm not scared of him. Just scared for him.

"You won't." I insist.

"But—." He starts again.

"Dawson—you won't hurt me. I know you won't." I reassure him, interrupting him. He sighs, shaking his head as he looks out the window this time.

"You think no one will find us here?" He asks, studying the blue sky and the bright sun. I watch him for a moment as he glances, following the line of the shore.

"We're in a secluded area—in Hawaii. No one knows about this place besides me. It was my grandma's secret getaway. She gave it to me before she passed. My own family never even knew it existed—my sister still to this day has no idea. It was mine and Nana's little secret."

"Oh God—Kate, your sister." He reminds me. I groan, remembering I've been dodging her calls for the past 2 days. And she works for the FBI. Not good.
