Gamma Charge

"I thought Daredevil said he took out all of these losers," the Thing grumbled as he punched yet another sword-wielding ninja with his rocky fists. "A cult like the Hand always has more disciples in waiting," Black Panther replied, furiously slashing his claws at his red-hooded attackers. "And they seem desperate to reclaim the power they once held in their collapsing timeline." "Hulk doesn't care what stupid sword guys want," Hulk said. "But Hulk knows what they'll get..." "Clobbered?" Thing asked with a smile. "SMASHED!" Hulk bellowed as he hit the ground with his giant fists, knocking several ninjas off-balance. "Eh. Same diff," Thing said, rushing in and beating down the disoriented ninjas with his bare knuckles. Once the battle was over, the Thing looked down at his aching fists. His rocky hide had been sliced to the point where the outer layer was beginning to peel away. "You are hurt, my friend," the Black Panther said. "Huh. Guess the swords of theirs are sharper than I thought," Thing said, trying to shake off the pain. "You must take time to recover," Black Panther insisted. "We can handle the fight from here." "Nah," Thing said. "I ain't never thrown in the towel before. Not gonna start now 'cuz I got a few scrapes." "I... trust your judgement..." Black Panther responded reluctantly. "Hulk doesn't," Hulk said. "Grimm's always been stupid. And ugly." "Look who's talkin', Green Genes," Thing chuckled. "But Hulk is smart," Hulk continued. "Hulk can give Grimm some of his gamma energy to heal Grimm's hands and make him stronger." "Stronger than you?" Thing asked, raising a rocky eyebrow. "Never!" Hulk snarled. "Hulk is the strongest there is!" "We'll see about that, pal..." Thing said as the next wave of Hand ninjas leapt into action, "...'cuz It's Smashin' Time!"
