**************

In the heart of Harlem, a giant green mass of fury tore through the street, smashing anything unlucky enough to be in his path. Hulk was out, and another abomination stood in front of him, a creature equally grotesque in size and rage. The roar of their clash echoed through the city, concrete and steel alike crumbling beneath their blows. Though the residents had cleared out, warned in advance, the chaos left behind was enough to make anyone glad they'd gone.

On the roof of a nearby building, Hercule Lucifer and Finn the Human stood with arms crossed, watching the scene. "Good thing Nero warned us," Finn said, eyes locked on the green giant and his foe.

Hercule grunted, scratching his chin as he watched Hulk tear up Harlem. Years spent fighting in the neighborhoods of Hell's Kitchen and Harlem had given his warnings weight among the locals, so when he'd given the heads-up this time, they'd listened. Watching the chaos unfold, Hercule didn't want to imagine the alternative.

"Hell, if Nero hadn't warned them, this whole block would be a goddamn pancake by now."

The two of them continued watching the chaos below, Hulk and his monstrous opponent tearing through the street like it was made of paper. Dust and debris flew with every hit, chunks of asphalt and concrete littering the road. Their roars echoed through Harlem, adding to the eerie emptiness of the evacuated streets.

A set of footsteps sounded behind them, and Hercule turned to see Luke Cage striding up, his face set in a grim expression. "Guess you two got here early," Luke said, glancing at the scene below.

"Wouldn't miss it," Hercule replied. "Though, I'll admit, it's more fun watching from a safe distance. Not in the mood to get my head caved in today."

Iron Fist followed close behind, taking in the battlefield with a brief nod. "Look's like two monsters from Doomsday, know anything about them, Hercule?" 

"Hell if I know," Hercule muttered. "But he's got the same build and twice the attitude."

Daredevil appeared next, his jaw tight as he adjusted his grip on his batons. "And we're just… observing?"

"Figured we'd let the big guy tire himself out a little," Finn chimed in, his arms still crossed as he watched Hulk tear a lamppost from the ground and hurl it at his opponent. "Besides, I doubt any of us are keen to jump in between those two right now."

At that moment, a familiar red and blue figure swung down and landed in front of them. Spider-Man's masked face turned toward Finn, a small wave following his arrival. "Hey, Finn! Didn't expect to see you here. You bring any popcorn?"

Finn cracked a grin. "Afraid I left the snacks back at Sakura's. But you're welcome to join the audience."

"Just watching, huh?" Spider-Man said, crossing his arms as he turned to the battlefield. "Not that I blame you. I nearly got flattened just now when I tried to break up one of Hulk's little fits."

Luke let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. "Tell me about it. Man's got the subtlety of a freight train."

Another loud crash rang out as Hulk tackled his opponent through a row of parked cars, sending metal and glass flying. The group winced, a collective reaction to the carnage below.

Daredevil broke the silence. "Well, if that thing doesn't slow down, we're going to have more than just a few smashed-up cars to worry about. How long are we planning to wait?"

Finn shook his head. "This? Definitely beyond our pay grade. Let's wait for the big heroes to show up." He glanced at the group, giving a casual shrug. "No offense."

Spider-Man placed a hand over his chest with an exaggerated wince. "Ouch, Finn. I thought I was a big hero."

"Not in height, you're not," Iron Fist muttered, earning a smirk from Luke.

Hercule let out a rough chuckle, adjusting his stance as he peered down at the mayhem below. "Listen, I may be a little loco sometimes, but even I'm not jumping in there." He gestured to the two monsters tearing through Harlem as if they were swatting flies.

Soon, the unmistakable thump-thump-thump of helicopters filled the air, army choppers swarming the area and circling over Hulk and Abomination. The clamor of approaching tanks echoed from the streets below, their barrels aimed and ready. Soldiers lined the barricades, prepared to open fire. But it was a wasted effort. The two titans were oblivious, too caught up in their battle to care about the military's presence.

Hercule crossed his arms and watched a tank fire off a round, the shell exploding near Hulk's feet. Hulk barely even flinched; if anything, the blast seemed to rile him up more.

"Dios," Hercule muttered, shaking his head as he watched Hulk grab an overturned car and throw it at a tank. "They never learn, do they?"

Finn smirked, glancing at Hercule. "They'll keep trying to stop him until someone else steps in. I just hope it isn't us."

A groan came from Spider-Man, who was sitting on the edge of the roof, one leg dangling over the side. "Honestly, they could've saved some budget and gone for cardboard cutouts. Might've lasted longer."

As if on cue, Hulk smashed his fist into Abomination's face, sending him stumbling backward through an armored vehicle. The metal crumpled like paper, the tank reduced to scrap in seconds. The group on the rooftop winced collectively.

Suddenly, a loud cry split the air. A squad of Neogenes descended onto the scene, leaping from rooftops and landing in the open street like soldiers dropped into a warzone. Leading them was Angel, his wings a blinding silver against the skyline.

"Finally!" Finn muttered. "The cavalry's here."

One of the Neogenes, a man with thick, rocky skin, charged straight into the chaos, colliding with Abomination and knocking him off balance. Abomination roared and lashed out, but the Neogene held his ground, shrugging off the blows with ease.

Hercule let out a low whistle. "The Neogenes don't mess around, huh?"

"Nope, and thank God for that," Iron Fist replied, arms crossed as he watched them step up to the challenge. "Wait, how do you know they are Neogenes, and not Mutants or Homo Superiors?"

Hercule snorted, "Because Angel is leading them. Mutants got Baldy, and Homo Superiors got Magneto." He shrugged like it was common sense.

Iron Fist shot him a sidelong look. "I'll take your word for it, Satan."

Spider-Man leaned forward, perched on the roof's edge. "Anyone else find it crazy that we're getting front-row seats to 'Harlem Apocalypse' right now?"

"Not the kind of popcorn flick I would pay for," Finn muttered, watching as Hulk threw a fist at Abomination, sending him stumbling.

Just then, one of the Neogenes—a tall woman with blue skin and a shimmering aura—took on Abomination, her fists glowing with energy as she landed blow after blow. The street seemed to shake as she finally knocked him back, her stance steady, barely flinching at the Hulk's enraged roars nearby.

Luke Cage whistled. "Looks like they brought the big guns this time."

"They better have," Daredevil added, tapping one baton against his thigh. "Otherwise, this will end badly, no matter how much backup they bring."

One of the soldiers on the ground barked orders to his team, trying to coordinate with the Neogenes. But another tank shell launched from the distance, hitting Hulk square in the back. He barely even noticed, charging straight at Abomination, who responded with a punch that sent Hulk crashing through a brick wall.

Finn raised an eyebrow. "The military seriously needs a new approach. Like, yesterday."

Spider-Man shook his head, watching as another tank shell exploded in the chaos below. "Maybe next time they'll try talking nicely. Ask Hulk if he'd like a calming tea instead."

Hercule chuckled, arms crossed, watching with mild amusement as a couple more Neogenes dropped down from a rooftop to help the blue-skinned woman. "That'd be somethin', wouldn't it? Serve the big guy a nice cup of chamomile. Problem solved."

"Less sarcasm, more focus," Daredevil cut in. "This could get worse any second."

Just as Daredevil spoke, Abomination grabbed a fire hydrant, ripping it clean out of the ground and swinging it like a club, catching one of the Neogenes across the chest. The Neogene went down hard, sliding across the asphalt. But within seconds, he was up again, shaking it off like he'd just slipped on ice.

"They're resilient, I'll give 'em that," Iron Fist remarked.

"Too bad they're not exactly winning," Luke muttered, watching as Hulk and Abomination continued their wrecking spree.

A streak of light flashed across the sky, and Angel dove down from above, wings spread wide, slamming into Abomination with a force that cracked the ground beneath them. The impact was enough to stagger the creature, but only for a second. Abomination turned, swinging a massive fist toward Angel, who narrowly avoided the hit with a swift, graceful dodge.

"Angel's good," Finn said, nodding. "Got the right kind of moves to keep up with a beast like that."

"Yeah, but that beast doesn't get tired," Hercule pointed out. "The guy's a wrecking machine."

They watched as Angel spun in the air, his wings slicing through a metal pole like it was paper before he turned back to Abomination, using the pole as an impromptu weapon to land a few solid hits.

Below, Hulk let out another ear-splitting roar, leaping back into the fray and grabbing Abomination by the shoulders, slamming him down into the street hard enough to create a crater. Dust and smoke rose in a thick cloud, momentarily obscuring the two giants.

"I don't know how much longer the Neogenes can hold them off," Daredevil said, his voice tense. "We need a plan. Or at least some backup."

"Last I checked, none of us were on Hulk-smash duty," Spider-Man replied. "Besides, we're talking about two literal giants. No offense, but we're a bit out of our weight class here."

Another explosion rang out, a thick column of smoke rising into the air as Hulk launched Abomination into the side of a building. The structure creaked ominously, bricks and glass falling to the ground.

"Would it be crazy to say that I'm actually starting to feel bad for the city planners?" Finn commented, watching the destruction with morbid fascination.

A new figure appeared in the sky, flames jetting from his hands and feet as he hovered, glaring down at the chaos below. It was Light, the infamous new villain of Hell's Kitchen and Harlem. He surveyed the destruction, his eyes narrowing on the two titans tearing through his streets. With a flick of his wrist, he propelled himself forward, flames kicking up behind him, casting a blazing glow across the rooftops.

"What the hell are you doing to my territory?" Light's voice boomed across the battlefield, as much fury in his tone as there was in the fires that wreathed his arms.

The group on the rooftop all glanced at each other, then back at Light with a mix of surprise and unease. Even Hulk seemed to pause for a split second, his green gaze turning upward to the hovering figure. Abomination, undeterred, charged, fists swinging as he let out a ground-shaking roar.

"Aw, hell," Hercule muttered, crossing his arms with a raised eyebrow. "Never thought I'd see Kira join the party."

Light descended rapidly, flames licking at the air around him. He didn't waste time, locking his gaze onto Abomination. A flick of his wrist, and an intense burst of fire shot toward the creature, engulfing him. Abomination's roar shifted to a howl as the flames coiled around him, relentless, thick smoke billowing up.

"Whoa, Kira is not messing around," Finn muttered, eyes wide as he watched the flames consume Abomination.

Kira hovered above the chaos, flames crackling around him as his gaze fell onto Abomination. Without hesitation, he unleashed a scorching stream of fire, engulfing the hulking creature. Abomination howled, clawing at the flames wrapping around him, his massive body twisting in pain as Kira's fire showed no mercy.

From their vantage point on the roof, the others exchanged uneasy looks. Spider-Man shifted, his eyes glued to the blazing scene below. "Anyone else feeling a bit torn here?" he muttered. "Kira's not exactly one of the good guys."

"You're telling me," Daredevil responded, his grip tightening on his batons. "But he's not wrong about keeping these two off our streets. Still, he's a loose cannon."

Hercule crossed his arms, watching with a smirk as Abomination stumbled back, smothered in flames. "Eh, it's not pretty, but he's getting the job done. I say let the man do his thing. And if he can burn that monster alive, even better."

"You would say that," Iron Fist remarked, shaking his head. "The guy's tearing through Harlem."

Luke shrugged. "At least he's got enough firepower to hold his own against these two."

Meanwhile, down below, Kira tightened his hand, and the flames intensified. Abomination's howls grew weaker, his skin blistering and cracking under the heat. Hulk, seeing his enemy faltering, let out a furious roar and charged forward, his own rage overpowering any sense of alliance. He swung a colossal fist at Kira, who barely dodged, twisting in midair to avoid the hit.

"Looks like Hulk's about to make this personal," Finn said, leaning forward.

Without missing a beat, Kira retaliated, sending a jet of fire right at Hulk's face. The flames washed over the green giant, singeing his skin, but only seemed to drive him further into fury. Hulk slapped the ground with a force that sent a ripple of energy through the streets, cracking pavement and shaking nearby buildings. 

Kira hovered above, his gaze flicking between Hulk and Abomination, a smirk curling on his lips. "Mindless. Just an animal moving with rage."

Abomination, still half-engulfed in flames, lunged forward with a roar, swinging his massive fists toward Kira. Without so much as a flinch, Kira shot a concentrated jet of fire right at Abomination's face, catching him off guard and scorching him with renewed fury. Abomination stumbled back, pawing at the flames now searing his flesh.

"Burn," Kira muttered, almost to himself, intensifying the flames until they coiled around Abomination like a serpent, squeezing the life out of him. Abomination roared, thrashing as the heat seared deeper, cooking him from the outside in. The towering creature's skin began to blister and crack under the relentless onslaught, his furious bellows losing their strength with every second.

From the rooftop, Finn muttered, "He's really not messing around, is he?"

Hercule nodded, grinning with a fierce glint in his eye. "Now, ese, that's how you handle a monster."

As Abomination fell to his knees, Hulk tore his gaze from his burnt and defeated foe, his own rage turning toward Kira. With an animalistic roar, he charged, his massive fists ready to smash. Kira turned, unphased by the furious green titan barreling toward him.

Hulk's fists came crashing down, but Kira was already moving, twisting through the air with a burst of flames from his hands and feet. He dodged with barely an inch to spare, leaving Hulk to slam his fists into the asphalt, sending a shockwave through the street. With a sweep of his arm, Kira released another wave of fire, this one hitting Hulk directly in the chest. The green giant staggered back, his face twisted in pain, but the flames only seemed to fuel his anger.

"You think fire scares me?" Hulk bellowed, his voice rumbling through the streets.

Kira shrugged, unimpressed. "No, but it's fun watching you try to swat it away."

Hulk roared again, swinging a backhanded fist in Kira's direction, but Kira shot upward, just above the reach of Hulk's fist, and sent a concentrated blaze straight down, bathing Hulk in flames. The heat intensified, and the air rippled with the sheer force of it, but Hulk only grew more enraged. He charged forward, leaping up to reach Kira with an almost feral gleam in his eye.

Watching from above, Iron Fist shook his head. "This won't end well for anyone if they don't stop soon."

"Oh, he's not stopping," Luke said, crossing his arms. "And neither is Hulk."

On the battlefield, Kira kept his distance, taunting Hulk with bursts of fire that only seemed to annoy the green behemoth more. He flicked a stream of flames at Hulk's face, earning a furious swipe from the giant that he dodged effortlessly.

"You're just a big toddler throwing a tantrum," Kira sneered, landing gracefully on a nearby wrecked car.

Hulk growled, smashing his fists together. "Hulk… SMASH!" He lunged at Kira, each step making the ground tremble. But Kira dodged again, this time leaving a trail of flame in his wake, circling Hulk in a tight loop. The flames wrapped around Hulk's legs and torso, slowing him as he tried to break free.

With a final flick of his wrist, Kira intensified the blaze. "Let's see you smash through that."

Hulk thrashed, his muscles bulging as he tore at the flames binding him, ripping through the fiery constraints with sheer brute strength. Kira only watched, a glint of amusement in his eyes, as Hulk broke free and stomped toward him.

"I thought you were supposed to be the unstoppable one, Hulk," Kira taunted, hovering just out of reach.

From above, Hercule chuckled. "Man, Kira sure knows how to poke the bear."

"Not sure it's the best strategy with this bear," Daredevil muttered, gripping his batons tightly.

Kira's taunting grin faded as he threw both hands forward, sending a massive surge of fire into Hulk's path, igniting the ground beneath him. The street split under the force, a river of flames now separating Kira and Hulk. Hulk's steps slowed, his eyes narrowing as he glared through the wall of fire. But he didn't stop. With a snarl, he leaped forward, crashing through the blaze and lunging straight at Kira.

"Finally," Kira said, his eyes glinting with a dangerous satisfaction.

As Hulk closed in, Kira spun mid-air, directing a spiraling blast of fire right into Hulk's face. The impact knocked Hulk back, flames washing over his body, singeing his skin as he staggered. But Hulk roared, his rage only intensifying, and charged again.

"Gotta say, you're persistent," Kira remarked as he dodged another swing. 

But as the flames seared into Hulk's skin, his fury reached a new peak. With a roar that shook the streets, Hulk swung a massive fist. A burst of fire exploded from the wreckage, and Kira shot out. Hulk swung wildly, his fists cutting through the flames, but Kira easily evaded. With each dodge, he sent another blast of fire, keeping Hulk off balance, his strikes calculated and relentless. Hulk's roars grew weaker, the flames finally taking their toll as he staggered, trying to keep up.

Kira threw another searing jet of flames at Hulk's back, sending him sprawling. Hulk pushed himself up, glaring at Kira with eyes that burned with rage, but his movements were slower, his strength waning.

With one final, furious roar, Hulk charged. But Kira was faster. With a quick movement, he dodged Hulk's swing, grabbed hold of the giant's arm, and twisted, slamming Hulk into the ground with a force that left a crater. Kira planted a boot on Hulk's back, keeping him pinned as he summoned flames to his hand.

"I'd suggest you stay down," Kira said, his voice low and dangerous.

As Hulk's muscles tensed, ready to burst out from under Kira's boot, the unmistakable hum of helicopters grew louder. Jets and choppers packed the sky above, casting shadows over the chaos. Dozens of black armored vehicles sped onto the scene, lights flashing.

Kira scowled. "Just when the party's over," he muttered, his flames dying down. With a click of his tongue, he lifted off Hulk's back, hovering briefly before soaring off into the sky. "SHIELD! Always show up when the work's done so you can slap your logo on it." He darted between skyscrapers, slipping out of sight as agents scrambled below.

As Kira disappeared, the rooftop group exchanged glances.

"Well, there goes the 'calm' approach," Finn muttered, watching SHIELD troops deploy across the ground.

Luke grunted, arms crossed. "Could've saved themselves the trip. Kira just took their thunder."

"Not surprised," Hercule added, cracking his knuckles. "But knowing Kira, he'd have probably set SHIELD on fire if they'd gotten in his way."

Meanwhile, Hulk, sensing a fresh crowd to vent his fury on, released a guttural roar and took aim at the newly arrived soldiers. A tank shell fired toward him, but Hulk brushed it off with a swipe of his hand, his eyes now locked on the line of agents bracing themselves for his assault.

But then Hulk paused, the tension in his muscles straining as he reined himself in, fists clenched and trembling. With a low growl, he turned and leapt away, bounding toward the outskirts of the city with massive jumps that left craters in the streets below. The SHIELD agents visibly relaxed, some lowering their weapons as the giant green figure disappeared beyond the skyline.

The Neogenes, led by Angel, stayed on the ground, watching Hulk's retreat with expressions that ranged from wary to frustrated. Warren's fists tightened as he scowled in the direction Hulk had disappeared. "Fucking Nero said he was manageable. Yeah, right. He's about as killable as a damn earthquake."
