"...We'll take care of this." Storm says as she flies off into the distance, leaving behind both Betty and Bruce.

She didn't know which direction the monster was coming from, but she didn't need that information in the first place. It only took Storm moments to find Abomination as it was hard not to notice where the animalistic roars and sounds of destruction were coming from.

Heading that way and bringing the thunderous weather with her, Storm caught sight of a towering green figure barreling down the street toward the Avengers Tower, crushing cars and destroying anything in its wake.

As she isn't a close-quarters fighter, Storm didn't bother landing or getting too close, simply deciding to follow Abomination from above.

Closing her eye for a brief moment, Ororo seemed to exert herself for just a brief moment as the sounds of thunder intensified. Opening her eyes a moment later, an unnaturally bright blue light illuminated from her eye sockets.

Hearing the intense thunderstorm going on above, Abomination stops for a moment and looks up to see the tiny figure of a woman with glowing eyes floating in the clouds.

"Huh?" Blonsky grunts in a deep and monstrous tone.

Before he could understand what was happening, countless strands of lightning filled the sky, seeming to almost dance around the woman.

Mesmerized by what he was seeing, Abomination stood in awe as every strand of lightning converged to form a giant blue bolt of energy.

Fear set in as the glowing eyes of the flying woman lock onto him. Instantly, Blonsky knew that he was in danger, as his brain was telling every nerve in his body to move.

Thanks to his training as a soldier and the enhancements his body has gone through, Abomination was able to push past the fear and run for cover.

Sadly, his enhancements didn't make him faster than lightning, which moves at 270,000 miles per hour.

*Zzzzzzzzzz*

Even with a moving target, Storm controlled the lightning around her like a pro and swing her hand down, causing the giant blue bolt of lightning to strike downward with it.

*PANG!*

With such a big target to hit, it was almost impossible for Ororo to miss as the lightning crashed down onto the fleeing form of the Abomination.

When the lightning made contact, it caused a small explosion that broke open the tough green skin of Abomination, blowing off a chunk of its chest.

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhggggg!" Blonsky yelled in pain as over 200 million volts of lightning coursed through his body.

While being electrocuted, Blonsky's body convulsed and collapsed onto a nearby taxi, which was thankfully empty this time.

Seeing that the beast collapsed and her attack had ended, Storm descended to get a better look at the odd appearance of the monster.

Taking a look, she finds it passed out with smoke coming from the hole in its chest and the smell of charred meat circulating in the air.

"Right..." Charles says unbelievably as he turns his head to see Nightcrawler on a nearby building. "Kurt, take Ororo back to the tower for treatment. We'll handle this from here."

"Right, boss!" Kurt says as he disappears from his spot on the building and appears beside Storm. "Let's go."

As he finished talking, both he and Storm disappear in a puff of blue smoke, leaving the battle to the rest of them.

"The police are safe." Peter comes swinging over and lands on a street light between both Erik and Charles. "How are things here?"

"Ororo was hurt so Kurt took her back to the tower." Charles explains.

"Oh, he's getting back up..." Erik comments but something odd happens.

A fourth car goes flying in Abomination's direction, slapping him square in the forehead and sending Blonsky back to the ground.

"Huh?" Erik grunts in confusion as he wasn't the one to throw that car.

Back in Avengers Tower, Betty and Bruce were both watching the TV in the cafeteria with plates of food in front of them. Neither has touched their food, as the sights being shown on the screen in front of them were too shocking.

When Storm left, they asked Jarvis to continue showing them what was happening. At this point, both ex-lovers almost knew that this monster had to be related to General Ross. Most likely he was trying to make something like the Hulk and it just went out of hand.

Watching the fight between Storm and Abomination, that same feeling that Banner felt earlier arose from deep within him. As he watched the monster crushing Ororo with its tight grip, Bruce couldn't find it in himself to sit by and do nothing.

Weirdly, he felt responsible somehow.

Standing to his feet, Banner walked over to the same balcony that the Avengers leaped off of.

"Hey!" Betty calls out as she follows behind him with worry written all over her face. "Where are you going!"

"To help..." Bruce mutters as he peeks over the edge of the balcony at the world below.

"What? You can't control it, remember?" Betty says, referring to the Hulk.

"Yeah, but maybe I can aim it..." Banner says as he stares down at the streets below.

"What if you can't?" Betty asks, scared of what might happen with two monsters running around the city.

"I don't know..." Bruce says as he climbs up on the ledge and looks down. "...but I have to try."

"Wait!" Betty yells and reaches out to grab him but it was too late.

Banner leaned forward with his eyes closed and fell out of the building from the 122nd floor.

As he descended closer and closer to the ground below, Bruce opened his eyes which were now a vibrant shade of green.
