After taking the serums out of the laboratory, I left the building while avoiding detection from all the military soldiers that is surrounded the Dr Stern's laboratory building. I hid myself in one of the building overlooking both the laboratory and the military as I had a clear view of the surrounding.
"See I told you they can't stop me" Oracle said proudly as she started singing softly to herself the song 'The Police - Every Breath You Take'.
"Thanks Oracle" I replied thankfully since Oracle did a good job in placing a surveillance on Betty, Bruce and General Ross that have lead me to Dr Stern's laboratory at Harlem, New York.
Watching all whole scene from my spot, I saw Bruce and Stern quarreling at the room where I took the blood sample before Bruce was shot by a tranquilizer from one of the General Ross's sniper.
Soon I saw a man (Blonsky) ran into the building and trying to antagonize Bruce to transform into Hulk so that Blonsky can fight with him but Bruce was not able too. The soldiers arrived and took Bruce into custody while Blonsky stayed behind. Blonsky due to his fractured and deteriorating mind ordered Dr Stern to inject him with Bruce's blood as he wanted the same power that Hulk had.
As I was seeing all this Oracle asked in concern "Nightwing, why are we not stopping that man?".
"I want to stop him earlier but if I attack him, I have to make sure I kill him in one strike without been notice by anyone. If he survive or escape he might push all the blame on us. The military will trust their own and that will lead to all The Defenders to be hunted down by the military" I explained to Oracle.
Oracle complained "Damn it! To avoid huge problems, we have to dear with a possible monster! Pity that man is never alone so that we can kill him without any hustle and bustle. This Suck!".
Nodding my head in agreement, I quickly say "That is the problem of being in a team, Oracle. Since we have to worry about others. Either way call the other Defenders for backup immediately. Tell them that we might be facing huge problem here".
"Right away!" Oracle replied.
Few minute later, Oracle informed me "Daredevil, Powerman, Colleen and Spiderman can't make it. Daredevil and Spiderman is dealing with a new crime syndicate under a new crime boss named Hammerhead. Colleen has some personal issues that she is dealing with but she will come as soon as possible. Other than that, Powerman is breaking into a gangster's cash safe house to reduce the violence at town that he is protecting."
Oracle continued "Jewel and Ironfist is on the way, they will be here within 5 minutes. Since today it is Ironfist turn to instruct Black Cat, she is coming too".
"Damn most of our heavy hitters are out! Looks like I have to make the best of it" I said
Before Dr Stern could understand what is happening I grab him and jump back out of the window towards the police and military officers located outside the building (Prevented the creation of the Leader). Surprised by my sudden appearance the police and military officers drew out their weapons.
I shouted "Wait! Friendly! There is a monster over there!" as I pointed upward towards the hole that I have jump out from.
Suddenly a loud sound come out of the building and got everyone's attention "ROARRR!" as one of the lab equipment is thrown out of the window. I quickly shouted "Get the civilians and everyone to safety!" as Abomination jump out of the laboratory towards the soldiers on top of the roof.
As the soldiers on the roof screamed in fear seeing the approaching monster that is going to kill them, I quickly used my webbing lining to catch Abomination mid flight of his jump and smashed him into the ground. Seeing that the military and police officers is staring at the monster in shock, I shouted "Get going guys! I will deal with the monster. Get help immediately! Go!" sending the police and military officers into action to do their job.
Abomination stood back up growling in anger and stared at me before saying "You bug!".
"I think you need glasses, I am human. By the way are you related to Green Goblin?" I replied back taunting him.
Abomination grabbed the police car and threw it towards me. As the car flew towards me, I jumped upward avoiding the attack and throw several explosive wingdings directly to his face. As the wingdings exploded in his face and blinding him for a few second, I quickly approach Abomination and delivered punches after punches towards Abomination's face.
Staggering backward Abomination with contempt replied "You are strong but you are not strong enough" before shouting "Bring me someone stronger to fight!" as he swing his left hand trying to catch me.
I quickly avoided the attack by ducking and delivering a powerful punch powered by venom blast directly towards sending him flying smashing into the main street creating a large crater. During my fight Abomination, the military officers can be heard shouting into their radio "The Hulk is in the street! I repeat. The Hulk is in the street".
Just as I want to continue my attack on Abomination, The Defenders arrived. Ironfist approached me saying "You really love fighting monsters" before glancing at Abomination
Jewel flying in the air asked "What is the plan?"
I quickly ordered them "Both Jewel and me will distract and slow down the monster while Black Cat and Ironfist will help the police and military officers to evacuate the civilians before coming back to help us".
"Hey, I am a hero! I can help fight the monster too" Black Cat complain in annoyance.
Before I could answer Jewel replied in anger "Being a hero is not about fight monsters and villains only, we also have to make sure the safety of the civilians too. How do you feel if one of the civilian is your friend or family member. We all have a part to play".
Black Cat looking ashamed with herself replied "I am sorry"
I reassured Black Cat by saying "It is okay. You better have no regret in becoming a hero" which Black Cat replied with confidence "I won't"
Slowly Abomination stood back up slowly from the crater in a cocky tone say "Not a bad punch! Show me more! Give a me a good fight"
Impress with Black Cat resolve Ironfist said "Black Cat, I think you are ready to be a member of the Defender so I will teach you our oath, repeat after me" which I say to myself "This is my regret in becoming a hero"
All of us said the oath together.
"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape our sight.
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware our power--The Defender's Might!!!!!"
All of us followed our plan as Jewel and I rushed to face Abomination.
After finishing the oath Black Cat say to herself "The oath is stupid but somehow I like it" as she went to make sure the civilians is safely evacuate.
Abomination shouted in annoyance "All of you talk to much, Just fight!" as he rush towards both Jewel and me in anger.
I shoot my webbing toward both of Abomination's leg causing him to trip forward as both of us delivered a powerful up cut on Abomination's jaw sending him staggering backward but without any noticeable damage.
As we were fighting, a figure of a human drop from the helicopter and come smashing down into road creating a huge crater with a loud exploding sound "BOOOOOMM!"
