HAMMERHEAD PART 1

Three years, eight months, twenty seven days and four hours since I woke up in hospital. In that time I’ve been shot, stabbed, burned, beaten, battered, blown-up and slashed, but never lost.

Yet after all that, I don’t remember anything from before the accident. What sorta guy was I? All I know is that nowadays, I’m a man with a short fuse who doesn’t take no for an answer. Which is why I’m gonna look into who I was.

Walking down the cheaply lit street, the smell of even cheaper cigarettes fills my nose. The trash littering the sidewalk isn’t just constrained to litter, old women expose flesh that none of us wanna see, preying off the drunken men, these predators of the night. But I walk on by, I’ve got a purpose. I heard there’s this guy in West Chester, they say he can read your memories or something like that, I don’t trust him, but it’s worth a try, anyway, if he tries to cross me, people are gonna be reading his mind from all over the walls.

As the end of the cigar comes close, I ditch it in the bush by the front gate, walk on up to the door, it’s one of those heavy oak ones, there’s obviously some money tied up in this here place. Maybe he’s legit. I raise my hand upto the heavy iron knocker and wait for the door to open…

Strolling through central park, the pockets of a long brown trench coat brims with other people’s jewelry and money. After all, it’s not the safest place to be when it’s dark, especially these days.

The Cajun’s eyes flick with a pink glow as he spots a smartly dressed businessman, he slides himself over towards him, and bumps into him.

“’Scuse me mon ami”

“No trouble”

As the southerners haul was about to get that little bit bigger, someone else had seen the trick, someone with more fortitude than the average citizen, someone sat on a nearby bench, his head in his hands, recollecting past times, for better or worse. But Gambit’s earning for the night may be over…

I look up to see a face I've seen before but never in person. Remy LeBeau, AKA Gambit. Clint told me about him and I've read his file, he was one of Xavier's "X-Men".

"Nice night for a snatch and run, eh Gambit?"

GAMBIT

Slightly taken off guard, and very surprised anyone could see through his technique.

"Who's runnin? An' whas a guy doin' in the park at night, lookin at folks?"

Wriggling his way out of a tough spot, he feels more relaxed.

 

[Byrd Man]

Time seems to slow down as Captain America breathed steadily.

Okay Steve, Think what have you got to stop this big brute?

He wiggles his arm and pulls a small taser out of his belt.

"Here you go Banner."

He plunges the taser into Hulk's skin. The green behmoth pulls his hand back, giving Cap a chance to turn Hulk around to where Cap is on top.

"Ow! Blue Man hurt Hulk!"

Hulk takes his massive hand and wraps it around Cap's throat as they descend towards the ground at increasing speed.

"Banner..."

He says through a clenched throat.

"WHAT!"

"Look behind you."

Hulk turns his head just in time to have it meet the central park earth.

Hulk's body creates a massive crater near the small lake in the park.

Captain America was sheilded by Hulk's body and save for a bad headache, remained unscathed.

S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers and agents covered the area within five minutes and found a dazed Captain America on the grass next to a unconscious Banner.

"Captain America Sir, are you alright?"

He looks up and nods slowly.

"Yes I'm fine, but you may want to put a straight jacket on the good doctor."

As the agents and soldiers carry Banner away Steve just lays there on the grass his thoughts lost in time, a specific date.

June 6 1944

"Okay Banner, Back in the hole."

The two S.H.I.E.L.D. guards throw the small wirey man through a thick steel door and shut it tight.

"Idiots."

Bruce Banner stands up and looks at his moderatly comfortable prision, complete with a working lab and books.

"Lets see what those mucsle heads forgot about."

Bruce pulls out a small key card and smiles over his tapped glasses.

"Time to go."

"Don't worry Gambit, As a member of the Ultimates I can't lay a finger on a X-Man and you the same."

My commlink goes off and I hear a guard talk fast.

"Cap, Sir. It's Banner, He's escaped."

I stand up from the park bench and dust my self off

"Dammit, suppose I couldn't ask you for some help?"

Both intrigued and cautious about the suggestion, the cajun quickly thinks of himself.

"You could ask, but whas in it for moi?"

I smile, I like this guy. Reminds me of that Howlett guy I served with in the war.

"Well for starters, You would be brought in as a special consultant and paid a consultant fee. Fifty thousand dollars, tax free."

With an instant arousal at the prospect of money, Gambit quickly gets in on the action.

"How can I be of service mon frere?"

"Well, Banner's desperate he's on the run. He may even revert to...Stealing if you get my drift. Plus I need back up."

A helicopter hover over the trees and lets down a rope ladder.

"Still in..Special Agent Gambit?"

"I jus prefer Gambit, buy yer, you've persuaded moi"

As the chopper above decends, Gambit and Cap climb up the rope ladder an on board, as the helicopter disappears into the distance, America's greatest soldier fills him in and tells him the plan...

As the chopper heads off westward a few soilder and S.H.E.I.L.D personal fills Gambit and Myself on what's going on.

"Banner went missing about an hour ago, we found his tracer torn off in a train yard in Hobokin, New Jersey."

A train yard. He's on the move.

"Okay, I want all those trains haulted and searched wether passenger or freight trains."

______________________________________________________


a hundred miles outside of New Jersey a train slowly chugged towards the west coast, hiding in one of the box cars a thin man sleeps with a book in his hands.

Buddhism And You.

The title reads and the author, a famous monk who lives in San Fransisco.

Within minutes, the high tech, high speed chopper is circling the train station, preparing for comabt, a S.H.I.E.L.D field officer hands Gambit an assault rifle.

"Wha's dis?"

Giving the weapon back and removing a pristine deck of playing cards.

"I got my own"

He smiles as Cap prepares them all for the drop, the officer looks somewhat puzzled before taking a quick flick through a file and realising his ignorance.

"Believe me, those cards will just piss him off."

I smile and jump out of the chopper and land in the train yard, gravel cruching beneath my feet.

"Captain America sir, We found Banner's tracer."

He holds up a small microchip with a hunk of skin on it. He's desperate to get away.

"Okay, so what to do we have on the trains we've stopped?"

"Nothing yet."

GAMBIT

With Cap's remark, the Cajun jumps out the chopper and produces a retractable metal staff, which he then charges to glow pink, then flashes a smile at one of the operatives, before concealing it again.

Tagging along behind, not wanting to become too much of a part of the ordered peoples, the southerner began scouting around.

"Ya'll be looking for a 12 foot green guy with a temper right?"

Gesturing over to a massive tear in the side of an iron building,

"Wanna try in here?"

I look in the huge hole and see it's kinda old.

"I think he's already been here before."

"Captain America sir."

A soilder runs up and salutes him.

"We think we've found Banner, he's been spotted in Ohio."

"Skinny Banner or Green Banner?"

"Skinny Banner."

Sounds like he's moving west.

"Okay get the chopper ready. So tell me Gambit, Your on the run from a superhuman and a mutant and your scared out of your wits. Where do you sleep at for the night?"

GAMBIT

Being slightly self indulgent, Gambit thinks of his past exploits and what he'd done at the end of a hard night.

"After a tough time, I lay back wid a sweet cherie and fo'get 'bout my troubles"

GAMBIT

Surprised at Cap's seeming agreement, the troops board the chopper. The destination would seem to be Betty's place, but this seemed too cut and dry for the great Captain America.

"Aint dis guy meant to be some kinda genius? He aint gonna be wher we expectin him to be is he?"

Although Cap was already well ahead of the game and knew exactly what he was doing, as always...

"You'll find that the smarter people get, the stupider they get."

After thiry minutes of flying the chopper hovers over the Boar's Head pub in Cincinatti.

"Last one out is a rotten egg."

I jump out of the chopper and land just outside of the pub.

Standing next to Cap, Gambit approached the door. He places his hand on it, ready to blow it open.

"Want me to open it? Make an entrance in style?"

I shake my head.

"You don't want to get Banner angry, You wouldn't like him when he's angry."

I swing the door open and look at the few regualrs and one man with his face buried in a book and a beer in his hand.

"Bingo was his Name-o."

GAMBIT

Taking a back seat for now, Gambit knows that Cap knows how to handle him. The Cajun takes a quick look around and fills both his hands with cards, just in case. Having eyes up all the points he needs to hit with cards to collapse the roof, he feels he's done his job. Standing behind Cap as he sits at banner's table, he remains cautious.

"Dis da fella?"

(Whispering in Cap's ear) "Aint too big now is he? I'll let ya handle dis fo now"

"Yeah will see."

I sit down at Banner's small table and smile at him.

"Whatcha reading Banner? Anything good."

He doesn't even look up from his book.

"It's on Buddhism, calming your nerves and getting to know your inner demon."

"Sounds fascinating, Time to go."

He looks up at me with a sick grin on his face.

"I think now Cap. You see thanks to this book I've been reading for a while, I've learned something: I am the Hulk and Hulk is me, where a symbiotic creature and live as such."

He takes a swig of his beer and looks back at Gambit.

"So you got a mutie to help you, what's wrong couldn't pull Hank Pym off of Janet's face long enough to get him to help you?"

GAMBIT

Leaning in on Cap.

"Dis fella don't know how to be makin' himself freinds, we gonna have to show him eh?"

Becoming tiresome of the waiting and the lack of action, Gambit braces himself slightly, just in case something kicks off...

"Yeah, Bruce Banner I'm placing you under arrest for 350 counts of murder."

Banner places his book down and takes off his glasses.

"You've messed up now Cap, cause you done went and made Hulk angry!"

With that Banner's skin stretches and grows, his skin turning green and his body expanding.

"NOW BLUE MAN AND STICK MAN GONNA DIE!!!!"
