A new marvel Universe

In an alternate Marvel comics universe. But there were still heroes going around saving people. The first groups that come to mind are the Avengers and Fantastic Four. But in New York in particular there was one hero who kept crime down. No one knew his real name but everyone knew his alter ego. The Amazing Spider-Man.
But our story starts in Midtown High in Queens. It seemed like a normal high school. But a few months ago there had been several Spider-Man sightings that led many to think that he was either a student or a member of staff.
Inside History Class 205 most of the students were bored out of their minds. This included Liz Allan. She was voted the prettiest girl school and she knew it. She had long blond hair and blue eyes. She was around 5 and a half feet tall with legs to die for. But her grades weren’t as good as her looks. She was flunking the class and she couldn’t afford to do that.
But as far as Liz was concerned Mr. Hedge’s lesson was very boring. She had almost fallen asleep a few times. She didn’t see any point in learning about anything about the past. Especially since it wasn’t American history.
“Now people pay attention,” said Mr Hedge. “We need to learn about the Cold War and we have to start with the rise of Communism in Russia. Now can anyone tell me what a Tsar is?” He then wrote it on the board. Liz put her hand up. “Yes Miss Allan.”
“Someone who can’t spell star?” replied Liz. Everyone giggled.
“Close but not quite right. Anyone else?”
Another blond girl put her hand up. She was near to the back of the class but Mr Hedge was just able to see her.
“Yes Miss Stacy?”
“The Russian King,” replied Gwen.
“Good you’re right. The Tsar is the King of Russia. Or should I say was the King of Russia. The last Tsar of Russia was Nicolas the second.” The bell then rang. “Ok people read chapters four to six.”
Everyone then began to leave. Liz was just about to leave when Mr Hedge cleared his throat.
“A word please Liz,” said Mr Hedge.
Everyone eventually left and it was only Liz and Mr Hedge left in the room. He cleared his throat once again.
“Do you know what your grade is in this class Miss Allan?” asked Mr Hedge.
“A B?”
“No right now you’re currently on a D. I can see it slipping to an F if you don’t get a private tutor.”
“But I’m too busy.”
“If you don’t get one you will fail this class and I believe you know what happens when you do that.”
Liz then gave out a sigh. “Ok I’ll get a stupid tutor.”
“I advise you to see Peter Parker. I believe you’ve known him for a while.”
“Not really.”
“Well I should see him. He should be able to help you.”
“Ok.”
Liz was then given permission to leave the class. She couldn’t do it fast enough and she just wanted to be with her friends. She had agreed to meet her boyfriend Flash Thompson.
Flash Thompson was the Quarterback of the school football team. Although the team rarely won any games he was still treated like a king. But he was also Spider-Man’s biggest fan in the school. He didn’t believe the things that the Daily Bugle would print about him.
He was at his locker when Liz went over to him. She gave him a little hug and a kiss. He enjoyed those parts best.
“Hey lover boy,” said Liz.
“Yo babes,” replied Flash. “Still up for the party tonight?”
“You know it.”
But then Peter Parker noticed Liz talking to Flash. Although he knew that they were dating he still needed to talk to her about being her tutor. Mr Hedge had already told him about her.
“Err Liz,” said Peter.
Both Liz and Flash looked at him as if he was a cockroach that needed to be squashed quickly.
“What do you want Puny Parker?” asked Flash towering above Peter.
“Err Mr. Hedge told me that Liz needed a private tutor for history,” replied Peter. “He told me to come and see her.”
“Ok but no funny business.”
“I promise all she’ll be doing is learning. Now is tonight a goodtime?”
“No,” replied Liz.
“How about tomorrow night?”
“No.”
“Thursday?”
Liz was getting a little annoyed at this point in time. She didn’t really want to talk to him but she knew that she needed to pass history.
“Fine,” said Liz.
“I’ll meet you at my house at seven,” replied Peter.
“Ok.”
Peter then left the couple be. They glared at him for a few seconds before turning their attentions back to one another. They then walked away hand in hand as some of the other students watched.
One of these students was Mary Jane Watson. She had been friends with Liz since the first grade. But lately they had grown apart. Although they still spent time together on the odd occasion they had not done anything major for a while.
“Get a room,” she said to herself. She then finished off in her locker and she walked towards class. She just happened to walk by Peter Parker on the way. “Hi Pete.” She said this with a smile.
“Hey MJ,” replied Peter.
“What’s up?”
“Well besides that I’ve got to tutor Liz in history everything’s fine. Thankfully Mr Hedge said he would give me extra credit for doing it. Anything to get far away from here.”
“This place isn’t so bad.”
“I get atomic wedges all the time. To me this place couldn’t get any worse.” He then cleared his throat.”
“Well maybe you should try looking on the bright side of life.”
“You watch too much Monty Python.”
The night of Liz’s came. Peter was in his room waiting for Liz to come. But she was half an hour late. He was beginning to think that she wasn’t coming. But outside he could hear what seemed to be shooting. He had to get into his Spider-Man costume and he went to investigate.
Meanwhile not too far away Liz was on her way to Peter’s house. She had her books with her but she was annoyed. But one thing she didn’t notice was that there were two men dressed in all black. They seemed to be carrying some kind of case with them. They were just around a corner while Liz was walking.
“I can’t believe I’ve got to do this,” said Liz. “I could be a million different places then here. But no I’ve got to pass history. Who needs to learn about the boring past anyway?” She then sighed. “I hate this.”
But just as she stepped onto the corner the men went into her. The case that they were carrying opened and there seemed to be a blue chemical in it. It went all over her and she was very annoyed.
“Do you know how much this cost?” she asked pointing to her clothes.
But then Spider-Man landed right next to them. This caught the men by surprise. Before they could react Spider-Man webbed them to the ground and he seemed to be happy with himself.
“And now let’s just see what the cops say about all this,” said Spider-Man. He then turned around and was shocked to see Liz. “Li… I mean are you are alright ma’am?” He was truly concerned.
“Do I look alright?” replied Liz. “My clothes are ruined and I have all this stuff over me.”
“What stuff?”
Liz looked at herself and the blue liquid that had once been on her was now completely gone.
“Guess it was just disappearing ink,” said Spider-Man.
“Thank God,” replied Liz. She then began to walk away. “I’ve gotta go.”
Liz then began to walk away. Spider-Man remembered that he had to tutor her so he went away leaving the crooks behind. But on the way back home he called the police who soon picked them up.
Liz eventually reached the parker’s house. She then knocked on the door and an old lady answered. It was Peter’s Aunt May.
“Can I help you?” she asked.
“Yes I’m here to see peter,” replied Liz. “He’s suppose to be tutoring me.”
“Oh yes.” She then turned her head. “Peter.”
Peter then came down the stairs. He saw Liz there and he gave her a smile. She still seemed to be a little unhappy.
“Come upstairs,” said Peter. “I’ve got everything ready.”
“Good,” replied Liz.
“This time tomorrow you’ll ace history.”
The pair then went up to Peter’s room. But Liz was feeling a little strange. She felt a little light headed and she also seemed a little tired. But she tried to put it into the back of her mind and just carry on with the studying.
But as the study went on Liz began to feel worse and worse. Peter was trying to tell her things but she wasn’t listening. Not because she wasn’t interested but because things around her started to seem weird.
“The first Revolution of 1917 took place in February,” said Peter. “The Tsar finally abdicated the throne.” He could see that Liz didn’t look like her normal size. “Liz are you alright?”
“I’m not feeling too good,” replied Liz.
“Would you like something to drink?”
“No I think I need to go to bed.”
“Well alright. Did you want to pick this up tomorrow?”
“Sure whatever.”
Liz then left the Parker household. Peter was a little concerned. But he then thought that Liz was only faking so that she didn’t have to study. He watched her walking away from his house and he seemed to be staggering a little.
She slowly walked to her own house that was only a couple of blocks away from Peter’s house. She staggered the entire way there and she seemed to be building a temperature. It was like she had some kind of fever.
Liz stumbled into her home and almost instantly went upstairs to her room. She took the things off her bed and she got changed. When she was in her nightwear she quickly got back into her bed.
“I feel like crap,” she said.
It didn’t take Liz long to go to sleep. It was like she had taken some kind of tranquillizer. She was completely knocked out.
The next morning Liz woke up when her alarm clock went off. She switched it off and she slowly got out of bed. But she was surprised to feel energetic. She felt like she could run a marathon or even clean her room.
But the first thing Liz did was go into the bathroom and get herself washed. After that she went to her closet to get changed. But when she tired to put some of her clothes on they were all too small for her. She got annoyed.
“Damn it they shrank in the wash,” said Liz. She began to go through her closest and it seemed that all her clothes had shrank. She was getting more annoyed as she tried on each set of clothes. But eventually she picked out an outfit. It was one that she was going to take back to the shop because it was too big. But now it seemed to be a perfect fit. “Well looks like this thing had its use after all.”
Liz then went downstairs where her mother had made pancakes. Liz had a couple but she still felt hungry. She looked over to her mother who was just about to make herself some pancakes.
“Can have I a couple more?” asked Liz.
“That’s what you normally have in the morning,” replied Liz’s Mother.
“Well I’m feeling a little hungrier today.”
Liz kept eating pancakes that her mother brought to her. She was surprised that she was eating them all and she was still hungry. When she had eaten her fill there was no mix left for her Mother’s pancakes.
“Guess I’ll have toast,” said her mother.
Liz then realised what time it was and she began to walk to school. She didn’t really take much attention to what she was doing. But it normally would take her a good ten to fifteen minutes to get to school. But she seemed to get there in less then five. But she didn’t notice this at all.
But throughout the day Liz was getting the strange feelings again throughout her body. But when it got close to going home her illness seemed to subside almost instantly. She began to feel a lot better. But her last class of the day was gym and the activity was basketball.
The girls were split into two teams of five and the coach went to the centre of the court. Liz and Mary Jane were on opposite teams. They were both at the centre so they could start off.
“Ok ladies you know the drill,” said the Coach.
The coach then threw the ball up into the air and both girls went for it. Mary Jane and Liz went through this regularly and Mary Jane would always win the ball. But this time Liz was just able to reach the ball a little higher then Mary Jane. This had never happened before.
Throughout the game Liz was on fire. Although she wasn’t the tallest girl on the court she was getting the ball and she seemed to be very accurate with her shots. She seemed to be happy with her performance. The coach was also amazed by her performance. She had never seen anyone play basketball that well.
“Hey Liz have you ever considered joining the basketball team?” asked the Coach.
“Nah the head cheerleader can’t play basketball,” replied Liz.
She then left the court and Mary Jane caught up with her. She too was amazed by Liz’s sudden basketball abilities.
“Hey Liz you were on fire back there,” said Mary Jane. “Tell me what vitamins have you been taking.”
“None,” replied Liz. “I guess I had a latent basketball talent.”
“I’ve never heard of a latent basketball talent.”
“Then I guess I’m the first case.”
Just then Peter came to them. He had his books with them and he needed to talk to Liz urgently.
“Hey Liz don’t forget the study date,” said Peter.
“Oh right,” replied Liz. “I best get it out of the way.”
“Yep the sooner you do this the sooner you can do whatever you want to do.”
Liz reluctantly walked with Peter. Mary Jane just watched them as they walked away. But she did notice something odd. She remembered the day before Liz was around 2 inches shorter then Peter. But now she seemed to be an inch taller then him. She found this very odd considering Liz wasn’t wearing any heels.
The pair eventually stopped in central park. Since it was still a nice day they decided to do the tutoring there.
“Ok let’s continue,” said Peter. “After the Tsar abdicated a provisional government was formed.”
“Right,” replied Liz. But then she could feel her illness firing up again. She felt like she was going to be sick.
“Are you alright?”
“No I think I’m going to puke,” replied Liz.
“Maybe you should have some water.”
“Ok.” But then Liz began to feel extreme pain all around her body. She held onto her sides.
“Liz.”
“Get back.”
“I’ll call 911.”
But as Peter got his cell phone out he began to notice something. At first he thought it was his eyes playing tricks on him. But it began to be clearer with each passing second. It seemed that Liz was getting bigger. He could hear the sound of her clothes ripping. She was still screaming out in pain. Peter took a step back as Liz burst out of her clothes and she grew. The experience seemed to be extremely painful for the poor girl. But thankfully it didn’t last long.
Liz seemingly stopped growing and she slowly stood up to her full height. She was in disbelief. She was over 15 feet tall
“What the hell?” asked Liz. “I’m huge.”
“Err Liz,” replied Peter.
“What?” snapped Liz.
“You’re wearing your birthday suit.”
“What?” She then looked down to see that she was completely naked. She quickly tried to cover herself. She could see Peter looking up at her. “Stop looking at me you pervert.” She then began to run away.
“Liz wait!” shouted Peter. But it was too late. She was running very fast and he lost track of her. “Oh great.” He then felt his cell phone ring. He saw that it was Mary Jane and he picked it up. “MJ this isn’t a good time.”
“What’s wrong?” replied Mary Jane.
“Something’s happened to Liz.”
“What’s happened?”
“Well she’s running around naked.”
“What why?”
“Oh yeah did I forget to mention that she’s 15 feet tall.” Just then he heard a screaming noise. He recognised it as Liz’s. “Gotta go.”
He then ran towards where he heard the screams. He went into a back alley to change into his Spider-Man outfit. He then web slinged out of the alley. He could see people running in fear. But when Spider-Man looked he could see Liz. But now she seemed to have grown even larger. She was easily 60 feet tall.
Liz saw what seemed to be a large banner on a building. She ripped it off the building and she wrapped it around her body. At least she had solved the nudity problem. Now the growing problem was the big one.
Spider-Man quickly went over to her. He climbed up a building right next to her and he tried to get her attention. But Liz was still in a state of panic. She could barely hear him. But he had to take a gamble.
“Liz!” shouted Spider-Man.
Liz quickly looked at him. She was still panicky and she took a step back. She accidentally stepped on a small car and she completely crushed it. She quickly lifted her foot up.
“Oops,” she said.
“Liz I need you to calm down.”
“Calm down? How the hell do you expect me to be calm when I’ve been turned into a 50 foot freak?”
“Well actually you’re closer to 60 feet tall.”
“I don’t care. I just want to be normal again.”
“I can help you. But you need to stay calm. Nothing good will happen if you start to panic.”
“I’m already panicking.”
“And see what’s happened. You’ve scared a lot of people and crushed a car. I promise I’ll do whatever I can to help you.”
“You will?”
“Sure,” He then put his hand on his heart. “Spider honour.”
Liz then giggled a little. “Thank you.”
“Ok now that you’re calm I think we should make our way to the Baxter Building. If anyone can cure your condition it’s Mr Fantastic.”
“Ok which way is it.”
“That way.” He then pointed in the direction of the Baxter Building. Liz ran towards it. “Wait be careful of the…”
But it was too late. A telephone wire tripped Liz over and she hit the ground hard. A small earthquake was produced but thankfully it didn’t do too much damage. But she had landed on another car. Thankfully it was also empty.
“Wires,” said Spider-Man.
He quickly went over to Liz. She had he hand on her knee and she was sitting up. At first she saw blood around her knee. But when she took her hand off she saw that whatever wound she had was now gone.
“Are you alright Liz?”
“Yeah I’m fine,” replied Liz. She then slowly stood up again.
“You gotta be careful of those wires. Big problem for big people.”
But then Liz felt the pain run through her body and her self made clothes were getting tighter. Spider-Man also could tell what was happening.
“Fight it Liz,” he said.
“I can’t!” She then screamed out in pain.
Her body then grew once again. Her banner quickly ripped off and she really began to grow. Spider-man was having to look up even further. But Liz was now in panic growth soon stopped. But now she was 300 feet tall.
“Oh my God I’m even bigger,” said Liz.
“Don’t worry Mr. Fantastic will help you,” replied Spider-Man. “But you still need to get to the Baxter Building.”
But by now Liz was in total panic. She just ran and she didn’t know which way she was going. Spider-Man tried to keep up with her but she was too fast. But eventually she was out of sight.
“Losing a 300 foot girl is embarrassing,” said Spider-Man. But she had left footprints on the ground. “Well that is something.”
He began to follow the footprints. He eventually found what seemed to be a small store covered by a tent. But the tent had been removed. He guessed that she had used it to cover her nakedness.
But eventually Liz reached the shore line. Right now all she could think about doing was getting out of the city. She didn’t care how she was going to do it. So she just dived into the water and she began to swim as fast as she could.
But Spider-Man got to the shore where the footprints stopped. He looked out over to the sea but he couldn’t see her. He gave out a small sigh and he got his cell phone out of his pocket. He was just about to call MJ back but his phone began to ring with a private number.
“Err Hello,” he said.
“You’ll be picked up in five seconds,” replied a Voice.
“What?”
But before he could say anything he heard something above him. He looked up and saw what seemed to be a helicopter. Several people with hi-tech equipment began to come down and they landed right next to him.
“Who are you people?” asked Spider-Man.
“We’re agents of Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-enforcement Division,” replied an agent. “Or just SHIELD for short.”
“I was going to say that’s one heck of a mouthful.”
“You’re coming with us.”
“Wow wait I’ve got a crisis right now.”
“Don’t worry we’ll deal with it.”
About an hour later Liz was still in the water. Although she should have felt cold she felt unusually warm. But she had grown again while she was in the water. She was now over 700 feet tall and once again she didn’t have any clothes.
But after all that swimming and running she was feeling a little tired and hungry and she got to land. But by now it was late evening and night time wasn’t too far away. Liz could see a tiny settlement not too far from her. There didn’t seem to be anyone around. She was afraid that she had scared them away.
“Ok what now,” said Liz. “Do I whine as I get bigger. Or do I do something about it?” She then began to be serious with herself. “Come on girl pull yourself together. Maybe I can make myself smaller.”
She began to concentrate and to her relief everything around her began to grow. She was shrinking and fast. Within seconds she had gone to be being around 730 feet tall down to a little above 8 feet. She tried to make herself smaller then this but her body couldn’t shrink any smaller.
“Guess this’ll have to do,” she said.
She then walked towards a building that was just outside of town. It seemed to be some kind of clothes shop. She thought that she was lucky. But she was even luckier when she noticed that it was a Big and Tall Women’s shop. But the only thing she found that she was unlucky with was that it was closed.
But one employee hadn’t shut the door behind them properly and Liz just went inside. But when she compared most of the clothes to her they were like kids clothes. She had to get the biggest t-shirt, the biggest pants and the biggest flip flops she could find and they were still tight on her.
Liz quickly left the store the same way she had gotten in. She looked and saw a payphone. But she realised that she didn’t have any money. There was no point in trying to call.
Instead she began to see if there was anywhere that would allow her to sue their phone. She could see a few people in the streets. A few of them looked at her and this made her feel uneasy.
But eventually Liz reached what seemed to be a steakhouse. She saw a few people go in and she hoped that they would allow her to use their phone. But when she could smell the steaks being cooked her mouth began to water. She was very hungry and she was tempted to look at the menu.
The Steakhouse had a huge selection of different meat dishes. There were even a couple of vegetarian dishes. But she noticed one that seemed to be a challenge. It was about a huge slab of prime beef. Whoever could finish eating it without puking and within the time limit would get it for free and a couple of other prizes. It also said to ask the bar for details.
At first Liz didn’t want to try it. But when she felt her stomach rumble she couldn’t help but try it out. She went over to the bar and asked about it. Everyone was staring at her and she tried to block them out. Thankfully the steakhouse had a high ceiling so that she could stand up straight.
“Err can I help you ma’am?” asked the Bar Tender. He seemed to be a little nervous around her.
“Yes I want to do this beef challenge,” replied Liz.
“Y-you want to participate?”
“Yes.”
“I-I’ll just get the manager.”
A few minutes later Liz was sat on a stage with a large table in front of her. Not many people could tell how tall she was. But before anyone could say anything a man with a microphone came over to her. He was wearing a classic cowboy outfit and he even had toy pistols in his pockets.
“Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen,” said theCowboy. “Tonight someone has been brave enough to take Steakhouse challenge. Everyone give it up for…” He then remembered that he didn’t know her name. He put his hand on the top of the microphone and looked over to her. “What’s your name kid?”
“Liz,” she replied.
“Surname?”
“Allen.”
“Right.” He then took his hand off the microphone and looked at everyone again. “Liz Allen.”
Everyone cheered for Liz. But then she noticed two men walking onto the stage. They were both carrying the biggest slab of meat that Liz had ever seen. She was beginning to doubt that she could eat it.
The two men then put the slab of meat on the table and Liz held her knife and fork in preparation.
“Ok Liz,” said the Cowboy. “You have exactly fifteen minutes to eat that meat. Starting from now.”
Liz then began to eat the meat. She was cutting off large slices and she was eating them quickly. Most people were amazed to see just how fast she was eating it all. She barely chewed before she swallowed.
It was well under the time limit when Liz actually finished eating the steak. She sat back a little and she felt happy about herself. She had almost eaten her fill and it didn’t cost her a penny.
The cowboy host wasn’t sure what to say. But then he smiled a little as he put his microphone close to his mouth.
“Can you believe it Liz Allen has not only finished the entire steak but in a record time of five minutes and thirty seven seconds,” said the Cowboy. “Everyone give her a big hand.” Everyone then applauded her. “And her prize comes in two parts. The first is that the steak comes free. And the second is that she can have three meals here all on the house.”
“Can I have them now?” replied Liz.
“What?”
“Can I have them now?”
“Sure I guess.”
A few minutes later Liz was sitting at a table and she was eating another steak dinner. She seemed to be enjoying it. But then a man with dark skin and wearing an eye patch sat in front of her. He was wearing all black and he was bald. He had a small goatee beard and he just sat there.
“Can I help you?” asked Liz.
“Yes Miss Allen,” replied the Man. “You are a very unique individual.”
“So?”
“So you’ve had a pretty bad day. Everything seems normal until you suddenly start growing and cause property damage. Then you swim here and somehow shrink. You then break into private property and steal more then fifty dollars worth of clothes.”
“But how did you…”
“I know a lot of things. But don’t worry I’m not a cop.”
“Then who are you?”
“My name is Nick Fury and I’m with S.H.I.E.L.D.”
“What’s that?”
“Think of us like a super CIA.”
“What do you want with me?”
“Isn’t it obvious. Someone like you can’t exactly go walking around the streets yet. You caused well over a million dollars worth of damage with your little walk and I don’t want to see that happening again.”
“So you’re here to arrest me.”
“No I’m here to give you an opportunity. I can help you control your new powers. And I’ll have S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist try and create a cure for you.”
“You can do that?”
“Yes and if you want to you can still live out your normal life.”
“I don’t have a normal life anymore.” She then stood up to her full height. “Look at me I’m an overgrown freak.”
“I wouldn’t use the word freak.”
“But that’s what I am.”
“You may think that. Or you can use your powers to benefit mankind.”
“You sound like one of those health gurus.”
“Right now I’m offering you a chance to make something of yourself. Don’t throw it away.”
“Ok.” Liz then slowly sat back down at the table. “I guess I have no choice do I.” She then sighed a little.
“You’ve made the right choice. Now come with me.”
“Can I finish this first?”
“Sure.”
Liz then began to finish off her meal and then she stood back up. Nick also stood up and they both made their way out of the steakhouse. But Liz noticed that there was a large helicopter right outside and a few agents around it.
“Wow,” said Liz.
“If you stay with us long enough you might learn how to pilot one of those. But for now this’ll take you to the Hellicarrier.”
“What’s that?”
“You’ll see.”
Liz nervously got into the helicopter. Once Nick Fury also got inside it took off. It went up extremely high and Liz felt a little sick. She had never been too keen on flying and now she was in a helicopter. This was one of the last things she expected to do when she woke up that morning. But being a giantess and going around the streets of New York was also something she didn’t expect to happy any time soon.
“So where is this Hellicarrier?” asked Liz.
“About two thousand feet up,” replied Nick.
“What?”
“I said Two thousand feet up.”
Eventually the helicopter finished going up and Liz could see the Hellicarrier from the window. It looked huge and she marvelled over it. She had never seen anything like it in her entire life.
“That’s the Hellicarrier?” asked Alice.
“She’s a beauty,” replied Nick. He then put his finger onto his ear. “Land in sector 12 Smith.”
The Helicopter then moved towards the Hellicarrier. Liz still didn’t know what to do at this point. She could see other helicopters and jets going in and out of it. She could also see people walking around on the hull.
But eventually they went into a hangar and the helicopter slowly landed on a marked area. Liz was in darkness for a moment until some lights came on. She saw the door of the helicopter open and she slowly climbed out.
“Consider yourself lucky,” said Nick Fury. “Not many civilians get to see the inside of the Hellicarrier.”
“So what now?” replied Liz.
Just then several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents came in and they almost surrounded Liz. She was beginning to feel a little intimidated.
“My agents will lead you to where you need to go,” said Nick Fury. “And on the way don’t look around.”
“Why?”
“Most of the things here are experimental and any of them could possible be fatal.” He then sniggered a little.
“Ok looking is bad.”
Eventually Nick led her into a large room. There were scientists everywhere and Liz could see two booths. They were roughly ten feet away from each other. But there was one thing that she noticed one person in particular.
This person she recognised off the TV. IT was Tony Stark aka Iron-Man. He was different to the other superheroes. His skin was made out of metal. But thankfully for everyone decided to use his new powers to help people.
Tony instantly saw Nick and waved to him.
“Hey Fury!” shouted Tony.
“How’s the telepods going?” replied Nick.
“Still working on it.” He then saw Liz. “And I guess this is the new recruit.” He then began to walk towards them. “She’s a real looker in a tall kind of way.”
“Please don’t comment on my height,” replied Liz.
“Sorry.” He then held his hand out. “I’m Tony Stark.”
“Iron-Man.”
“That’s me. And what are your powers?”
“I’m not sure exactly. I started to grow and grow. Then I shrank down to this height and I can’t get any smaller.”
“Too bad. I can’t get rid of this steel on my skin.”
“If you don’t mind me asking how did you get your powers?”
“Have you ever heard of the song Iron-Man by Black Sabbath?”
“No.”
“Well it’s similar to that. He was turned to steel. In the great magnetic field. Well I was working on a magnetic device that could help businesses. Unfortunately something went wrong and this happened to me. Now if you don’t mind me asking how did you get your powers?”
“I don’t know these guys throw something on me and then the next day I grew.” She then looked at the telepods. “What are those?”
“Those are telepods and they were created by a very good friend of mine. Dr Seth Brundle.”
“Where is he?”
“Unfortunately it killed him. Not only did he discover teleportation but also genetic fusion.”
“What happened to him?”
“He teleported himself but when he did a fly was in the chamber with him and they fused on a genetic level. Sadly he began to transform into a man/fly hybrid. We had no choice but to destroy him.”
“I’m sorry.”
“He was suffering. We just put him out of his misery. But unfortunately he wasn’t very good a writing things down and the secret of teleportation died with him. We haven’t cracked the code yet.”
“Do you think you ever will?”
“Sure it’s just a matter of time. And I hope that things turn out for the better for you Liz.”
“Thank you.”
Nick then cleared his throat and Liz looked towards him. She smiled at him a little and he just nodded his head back.
“Come on Liz there’s a few things you need to do,” said Nick.
“Ok I guess,” replied Liz.
Nick began to walk away and Liz followed. She did wave goodbye to Tony before she left the lab. She had seen something that she thought only existed in the movies. But they were real.
“If you don’t me asking what other things are being made here?” asked Liz. “Is there anything that give us hover cars.”
“Here we already have them,” replied Nick. “But most of the inventions here are highly classified. But there is one or two that I will tell you about. Did you ever read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?”
“I watched the movie.”
He then shook his kids. “Kids.”
“Are you making something like the ever lasting jawbreaker? Or maybe even booze that’ll never go flat.”
“No none of that. I meant that there’re several things going on here at the same time. Most will benefit mankind.”
Just then Liz had a quick look into another room and she could see Spider-Man. She almost ran towards him. But he noticed her as well. But what he was surprised with most was that she was smaller. She gave him a big hug when she reached him.
“Spider-Man,” she said. But she didn’t realise that she was accidentally cracking his ribs. He was gasping for air.
“Too tight,” replied Spider-Man. “Too tight.”
“Oops.” She then stopped the hug and put him down. “Sorry about that guess I don’t know my own strength.”
“That’s alright.”
“What are you doing here anyway?”
“Well these nice agents brought me here.”
Liz then turned to Nick Fury. “Why is Spider-Man here?”
“We were hoping he could help us with you,” replied Nick. “But he knows as much as us.”
“You’re not going to take him back?”
“Well for now we don’t have much use for him. We’ll drop him off back in New York within the next hour.”
“No wait can’t he stay?”
“Why?”
“He helped me when I was bigger. Maybe he can help me gain control.”
“I doubt it.”
“Well can he at least stay just a little longer?”
“I guess that’ll be alright.”
“Thank you.”
Spider-Man wasn’t sure what to say about this. He didn’t want to stay that much. But he couldn’t turn his back on Liz like that. Not only didn’t he turn his back on civilians but she was also his friend.
The next place Nick took Liz and Spider-Man was into a large room. There were other people in there as well and they all seemed to be scientists. One of them even had a one piece costume. He walked over to Liz and he looked a little nervous. He had never seen a girl as tall as her but he went to pass her the costume.
“What’s this?” asked Liz.
“It’s a costume that’s made out of unstable molecules,” replied the Scientist. “We need you to put it on.” He then passed her the costume and she compared it to her body. It was obviously too small for her.
“Hello this things is way too small.”
“That’s the beauty of unstable molecules. They expand the any size.”
“What?” Liz then stretched the costume and it did it easily. She stopped stretching and it went down to its original shape. “Cool.”
“Please put it on.”
“What here?”
“Oh sorry. You need to go to the changing rooms.”
Another scientist led Liz to a changing room and she got changed into the costume. It was brown and she didn’t think it looked very nice. She stepped out of the changing room and she looked at the scientists.
“Are you people so cheap to afford designers?” asked Liz.
“What you don’t like the costume?” replied Nick Fury.
“No I wouldn’t go out in this. The colours all wrong and it covers everything except my head. How am I suppose to show off my legs?”
“For now you don’t.”
Eventually everyone left the room. But Liz was forced to stay. Everyone else went into a small room that was above the room. They could see everything that was happening in the large room.
There was a computer that had an image of Liz’s entire body. It had all of her stats and there was a microphone as well.
“What’s her stats?” asked Nick Fury.
“Currently Miss Allen is 8 feet tall and weighs 307lbs,” replied the Scientist.
Nick then grabbed the microphone. “Liz I need you to grow.”
“I don’t know how,” replied Liz.
“Try anything.”
Liz tried everything she could think of to try and grow. But at first nothing seemed to happen. But one of the scientists noticed something with her stats. She had grown an extra inch and gained an extra 10 lbs.
“Sir she’s grown up to 8’1 and now she weighs 317lbs,” said the Scientist.
“That’s not good enough,” replied Nick. He then held the microphone towards his mouth. “Bigger.”
“You try doing this!” snapped Liz.
She then shot up again. It was a little too fast for comfort for Liz. But it only lasted a second.
“Sir she’s grown to 22’3 and now weighs 3 tons and 620 lbs,” said the Scientist.
“That’s it Liz,” said Nick.
But Liz felt tired. The growth spurt had sapped the last of her energy and she felt like sleeping.
“I’m too tired,” replied Liz.
“Give it one more go.”
“I can’t.”
Liz then collapsed on the ground. She was exhausted and she passed out almost instantly. The scientists quickly went to her and they began to examine her. But one thing that was in there way was that she hadn’t shrunk. She was still over 22 feet tall. She was too tall to move.
Liz woke up a few hours later. She felt light headed and she tried to sit up a little. She could see people around her and at first she thought that they were large toys. But then she began to remember what had happened to her.
“W-where am I?” asked Liz.
“You’re in the medi-bay,” replied a Scientist. “You blacked out on us. Are you feeling any better?”
“Yeah a little. But how did I get here?”
“You can thank Doctor Banner for that.”
Liz then looked and she saw the Incredible Hulk. But he was wearing a white lab coat and he wore glasses. He looked over to Liz and he gave her a little smile that made her feel comfortable.
“Good to see that you’re awake,” he said.
“You’re…” replied Liz.
“The Incredible Hulk. Yes I am.”
“I didn’t know you’d be here.”
“Yesterday you didn’t even know that S.H.I.E.L.D existed. Now tell me how do you feel right now?”
“A little light-headed but other then that fine.”
“Can you make yourself a more manageable size.”
“I’ll try.” She then began to concentrate on shrinking. But nothing seemed to be happening. “Sorry.”
“That’s alright. We’ll just have to give you larger doses.”
“Of what?”
“Nothing you need to worry about. It’s all routine.”
“I’m not letting you inject anything into my body unless I know what it is.” She then folded her arms.
“Ok we were just going to inject you with some nanobots into you. They won’t harm you in anyway.”
“What will they do?”
“Just make sure that things in your body is alright. The last thing we want to do is put your body into anything that could cause it harm.”
“Ok.”
“Good now you might feel a little pinch.”
Then Dr Banner got out a huge needle. He put it into Liz’s arm and it caused her some pain. He then injected the nanobots in her. Liz felt a little weird but it quickly left her alone.
“That was weird,” she said.
“Some people do feel a little odd when they received the nanobots,” replied Bruce. “But that’s normal.”
“Are you sure its not going to kill my immune system or something like that?”
“No you’re perfectly safe.”
Just then Nick Fury came in. He had a few other agents with him and Liz could see that they had weapons with them.
“How are you?” asked Nick.
“Tired,” replied Liz.
“If you wanted to when you can get back down to size you can go back home.”
“I thought you needed me here.”
“We don’t want you to feel alienated from your family. Besides we’ll still keep tabs on you.”
“Well I guess I would like to go home.”
“Good when you’re able to shrink to a relative normal size we’ll take you home. Can you do that?”
“For now I can’t.”
“Well you do have time. Maybe you need something to eat.”
“Yeah I am a little hungry.”
Before Liz knew it there were chefs bringing food in for her. They smelled delicious and she couldn’t wait to eat them. It would only take minutes for a girl of her size to finish them all off.
Everyone watched her eating. Liz felt a little nervous about this but her hunger made her carry on. She soon finished them all off and she patted her belly. Thankfully she had eaten her fill.
“That’s much better,” she said.
“Now do you think you can make yourself smaller?” replied Nick Fury.
“I’ll try.” She concentrated and she saw everything grow around her. She soon went back down but once again she stopped at 8 feet tall. She gave out a sigh. “I still can’t get any smaller.”
“I’m afraid that your body ahs mutated since your first growth spurts,” replied Dr Banner. “Your body now won’t get any smaller then 8 feet.”
“Please don’t tell me that.” She then stood back up to her full height. “I’m going to be a tall freak.”
“Tall yes a freak no.”
“I can’t go back to school like this. Do you know how popular I am? If I go like this I’ll be lower then the nerds in the Chess club.”
“Don’t rip the people in the Chess club. They’re the ones who build the inventions of the future.”
“But I’m not smart enough to do that. In school all I have is my looks. Without that I’m nothing.”
“You’re still beautiful and beauty isn’t skin deep.”
“I just want to go home.”
“Very well,” said Nick Fury. “We’ll drop you off in the next couple of hours.”
“Thank you.”
Liz wasn’t sure what she was going to do now with her life. She wasn’t sure whether to use her powers to help people or just live the rest of her life thinking that she was an overgrown freak. She could join a circus and maybe be a star attraction. Or maybe she could use her powers to make herself a film star if a film needed a giant woman but didn’t have enough cash for special effects.
But for now all Liz wanted to do was be alone.
