ALEX GAPED AS SHE LOOKED DOWN INTO THE ARENA AT HER FRIEND WHO WAS SO UNFAMILIAR TO her. He was full of rage, roaring at the crowd with no remorse. She knew that the Hulk overtook Bruce, but something was different about him now. She had wondered why he was absent to the team's last mission, but thought nothing of it as Thor was absent as well.
Loki leaned over to Alex inconspicuously. "We have to get off this planet,"
"Agreed." Her mouth barely moved.
"Yes!" Thor roared in triumph.
"Hey!" He then yelled to no one in particular. "We know each other--he's a friend from work."
Now, Alex and Loki looked at each other with eyes widened. There goes their cover.
"Where have you been?" Thor tried speaking to the monstrous form of his team member. "Everybody thought you were dead. So much has happened since I last saw you--I lost my hammer. Like, yesterday, so that's pretty fresh--Loki! Alex! Can you believe it?"
Alex shielded her face awkwardly while Loki tried sipping his drink nonchalantly.
The crowd began to chant for the Hulk, rendering Alex insanely confused. He basked in it, which was incredibly unusual for Bruce. He was obviously well known by these people, which led her to wonder how long he'd been here for.
"Banner. Hey, Banner!" Thor tried to get Bruce's attention, which was masked by the Hulk.
Alex then realized quickly that Bruce was not going to respond.
"No Banner! Only Hulk!" He charged at Thor.
Thor dodged the first few attacks by his team member, but then was thrown back by his force. He slowed down his fall but burying his dagger in the ground, then unsheathing two swords.
"No way this ends well," Alex bit her fingernails nervously.
They commenced in a vicious battle against each other. The Hulk slammed down his weapon onto Thor, who barely dodged it. Thor swung at the Hulk, but all of his shots were blocked.
"Here we go," The Grandmaster took a seat next to Alex and Loki on the plush white couch.
Thor was thrown into the arena wall, where underneath the cement were buried weapons. He took out a hammer, swinging at the Hulk and sending him flying like a baseball. The Hulk laid on the ground, out of breath, as Thor walked over to him slowly.
"What?" The Grandmaster looked in disbelief.
Loki reached down to squeeze Alex's hand, who was now visibly nervous.
"Hey big guy," Thor spoke softly to the Hulk. "Sun's getting real low."
"Jesus Christ," Alex buried her head in her hand.
