The ride was long and tiring, but so far Kim had managed to keep hold of Luke. The wind was biting her through his jacket, and she knew that he must be freezing. However she was already tired before she got on the bike, but she wasn’t going to let him know that. However, it wasn’t long before they crossed the state line into Pennsylvania, when she began to drift off. She could feel her eyes close, and she of course had a smile on her face when she did.
She didn’t even know that her grip had slacken, and her arms began to slid from around his waist. If she were conscious she would know that it would be dangerous to do that, as she could fall off and get smeared all over the highway. But she was just too exhausted to wake up and correct herself, so her arm continued to slid down to hang loosely at her sides. Now if he were to take a turn in the road, nothing would stop her from falling off and meeting the pavement.
Kim really needed the rest, and now that Luke was there with her she knew she would be able to sleep well.

Luke could tell that Kim was tired when they had pulled into Pennslyvania, she had used his back as a pillow in a number of ways but she hadn’t actually fallen asleep from what he could tell. The cold wasn’t getting to him as some people would have supposed, after all he had a warm body in terms of Kim not 10 inches behind him, and at some points of the journey she hadn’t even been that she as she had been as close to him physically as she could be, not that he was complaining but at the same time it had to be said that her body was warm enough to protect him from the wind that was coming from behind them.
Finding a nice but cheap motel Luke pulled into the parking lot and stopped the bike, smiling as he got off the bike he lifted her bridal style and carried her into the building. “Looking for a room dear?” an old woman asked, Luke nodded and she lead him down the hallway to a room. “she is ok isn’t she?” the woman asked looking back at Kim.
“Yeah just half asleep,” Luke said and walked into the room putting her one on of the beds. “thanks,” he said as the woman left the room “so how do you like being around me so far?”

Kim woke up when she felt someone pick her up off of the bike. She managed to peel her eyes open and peer at Luke, who was holding her in a bridal style carry. She gave him a sleepy smile, yawned, and let her eyes drift back down. She laid her head against his chest, and let him carry her inside. She knew she was going to rest well tonight, all because that he was going to be there with her. No fears were going to keep her up, and she was going to be safe for the first night in a long time.
”so how do you like being around me so far?”
She opened her eyes again and saw that she was on one of the beds, and she gave him another sleepy smile. Didn’t he know that she couldn’t care if they were ten feet from an erupting volcano? She chuckled a bit before rubbing her eyes, and got up to her feet and approached him. ”It is like a surreal dream, Luke.” She told him and then hugged him. ”I love being around you, because I know I’m safe with you near me. When you left, I felt vulnerable…” She said and trailed off, not wanting to tell him what her father had did when he left.

Luke sighed when she said that she was vulnerable without him, he knew that he had been able to protect her, however he didn’t think that she had needed him that much, that was why he had tried to move away from her, the hulk was a monster that could hurt her, that was something that he didn’t want and he would have done anything to avoid, however the monster was calm around her, he didn’t know why but he wasn’t likely to complain about it either.
“I am sorry,” he said climbing onto the small bed next to her and kissing her forehead, “if I had known then what I know now I would have brought you with me, I swear I would have,”

Kim didn’t know why Luke truly left, but she had some times wondered if she had anything to do with it. He after all didn’t even get in contact with her the entire time he was gone. She even had doubts that he forgot about her, and those doubts had turned into he didn’t care for her. She didn’t say another word, but let her exhaustion show on her face, and walked back to the bed. She then crawled into it before skimming down under the covers.
“I am sorry, if I had known then what I know now I would have brought you with me, I swear I would have,”
She closed her eyes briefly as he kissed her forehead, and she let a small smile grace her lips. She snuggled closer to him in an attempt to warm herself up. ”Why did you leave, Luke? Was it something I did?” She asked him, putting voice to her fears of the last five years.

She snuggled closer to him in an attempt to warm herself up. ”Why did you leave, Luke? Was it something I did?” She asked him. Luke’s heart nearly broke at this, the fact that she thought she was the reason why he had left, it was nothing to do with her and everything to do with him, the fact that he couldn’t cope with being around people who could have been used by his grandfather against him and knew that he would do to get at his grandson to trigger the hulk and then capture him, then Luke lost and his grandfather won, Luke couldn’t allow that, he wouldn’t allow that.
“you did nothing,” he said “it was me, I needed time to try and get my head together, to get the hulk under control, I have that now I promise I am never going to leave you again,” then he leant in and kissed her.

Kim was blissfully in contempt as she snuggled with Luke. She couldn’t help it that she blamed herself for him leaving her, and she suddenly came to the conclusion that she blamed herself for a lot of things. Only because her father had made her believe that it was her fault, it had been going on since the day she was born. How can she not believe it if it is a part of her everyday life during her childhood? She involuntarily trembled in fear as she thought of what her father would do to her if he found out that she was back with Luke. She remembered that he once told her that he would beat her to death if she ever saw him again.
“you did nothing, it was me, I needed time to try and get my head together, to get the hulk under control, I have that now I promise I am never going to leave you again,”
She looked up at him, wonder written clearly on her face. She watched as his face and lips got closer to hers, and her heart rate increased in excitement. Next thing she knew was that he was kissing her, and she smiled to herself. Of course she immediately kissed him back, and she closed her eyes in reaction. When they broke away, she laying her head against him, and smiled in contempt. ”You promise?” She asked him, nearly pleading with him to do so.

”You promise?” She asked him, nearly pleading with him to do so. Luke could tell that she was upset and it damn near broke his heart, the one girl that he loved longer and more than anyone else on the planet and he had left her because he had thought it had been the right thing to do. It had turned out that he couldn’t have been any more wrong even if he had tried to be, which of course he hadn’t done.
Luke had gone to speak when he heard that the radio in the room next to them had been playing quite loudly, not that it was hard to here it through the crappy paper thin walls of the place that they where staying, he could clearly make out the lyrics of the Nickelback song Never gonna be alone. “I promise,” he said with a smile kissing her “and it looks like the radio wanted me to be backed up also huh?”

Kim was nearly asleep while waiting for him to promise her that he wasn’t going to leave her again. Her eyelids drifted close, and she snuggled even closer to him more so than what she would thought possible. She yawned and smiled sweetly, however she wouldn’t be able to stay that way for long. The radio blared loudly from the next room over, and she snapped her eyes open before clinging to Luke. She then suddenly remembered that her father wouldn’t know where she was, and that her ex wouldn’t have the guts to come after her. Not after what her Luke had done to him in their apartment, scratch that, his apartment.
”I promise, and it looks like the radio wanted me to be backed up also huh?”
She kissed him back with her own smile, glad that he was there with her. When he broke it off, she nodded her head in answer to his questions. Which she suspected was a rhetorical one, but she agreed with him none-the-less. She then turned her face toward the room that was making the loud noise, and sighed. ”It looks like it isn’t going to be a quiet night for some good sleep.” She told him with a tired smile as the song ended. Then the beats and lyrics of Alice Cooper’s “Feed My Frankenstein” could be felt in her chest, and of course she whimpered at the loss of her much looked forwarded to and need night’s sleep.

Luke was annoyed, what he had thought was a nice miss timed increase in music had effected himself and Kim, Hulk was practically growling in anger and defiance, he wanted out to go rip those people to pieces, no one hurt his Kim, not his grandfather, not her boyfriend or her father, he would keep her safe from everyone now because of the fact that he loved her and the fact that he could do so. He would crush them for hurting her, even though they weren’t really, just preventing her from sleeping. Looking down at one of his hands he noticed it was green.
“Kim,” he whispered. “my hand.”

Kim’s head was beginning to pound as the song played on, loudly and she closed her eyes before resting her forehead against him. She of course loved Luke enough to protect him from his grandfather, even if it meant her getting a beating in the process. She had no idea that the gentle green giant that was inside her childhood love was growling to be let out for the people that were playing that heavy metal song loudly, and keeping her from sleeping peacefully.
”Kim, my hand.”
His whisper alarmed her, and she pulled away from enough to see what he was talking about. Her eyes darted to his hand, and she gently touched it before cradling his face between her hands. She searched his face, silently pleading for him to calm down. ”Luke, remember that your grandfather will know where you are if you do let him out. They are not hurting me, just not letting me sleep…” She pleaded with him, not knowing if worked or not. She was not afraid of the Hulk, as she seemed to be able to get to him and Luke. She was of course trying to avoid an incident, that would cause Luke’s grandfather to come running towards them.
Kim however suddenly remembered that she was in close contact with him when he alerted her of his hand. She remembered that in the apartment, she touched him and he reverted back to her Luke. She was now quite alarmed that he was changing while she was tightly against him. ”Luke, talk to me. What is going on?” She asked him in another plea, needing to know what he was thinking and feeling so that she could have an understanding of what was happening with him.

”Luke, remember that your grandfather will know where you are if you do let him out. They are not hurting me, just not letting me sleep…”
That was the thing, Luke knew that he knew that it wasn’t a threat, however it seemed like Hulk didn’t care, these people had upset Kim and Hulk had wanted to make them pay, this was one of the things that Luke had feared about being close to Kim, he couldn’t keep the monster inside him under control and it could hurt her. It had been something he had thought he had ensured would never happen again when he had been away from her. However it looked like it had trigged again, no matter how much he didn’t want it to.
Concentrating on pushing the Hulk down he looked at his hand and too his amazement his hand turned back to it’s normal smaller size and turned to pink.
”Luke, talk to me. What is going on?”
“I have no idea,” he told her “either way it isn’t good,”

Kim was now no longer needing sleep as much as she thought she did. She was more worried about Luke, and his condition that seemed to be changing on a whim. She knew he feared that the Hulk would hurt her, but she knew that it wouldn’t happen. Sure it might be an accident, but she didn’t want him to worry about her. She had tried to console him, but she had doubted that it had helped any. He was always her protector, and she knew that he wouldn’t think any other way.
”I have no idea, either way it isn’t good,”
She had noticed the same time as he did, that his hand had returned back to normal. She breathed a sigh of relief that she didn’t know she was holding at the site of his hand. She then turn her head and gently kiss his hand. She would have kissed it if it was still large and green, as it was the same person to her. ”Why is that?” She asked him, looking into face and searching his eyes with hers.

”Why is that?” She asked him
The truth was Luke didn’t know, but the fact that he was starting to lose control over the changes again still was not good, it was dangerous and could cost them more than their freedom if he couldn’t get control of it, he would not lose Kim not if he could help it, he was not going to attempt to lose her, simply because of the fact that he loved her too much to even think about it, therefore it was imperative that he worked out how to control it more.
“I use to have control of it,” he said evenly “it has never done that before.”

Kim didn’t know what was going on inside Luke’s head. She didn’t fear the Hulk, but she knew she couldn’t make him see that. So she had decided to take things slowly with him in that department. However, she didn’t know that he had managed to control when he could transform. But she wouldn’t know that he had managed to somehow loose that control now, after coming back to her. In her mind, he was the same guy who held her at night and protecting her from her father and boyfriends.
”I used to have control of it, it has never done that before.”
She looked up at him slightly shocked. So now she knew he had control of his transformations, and wondered what had changed recently. The only thing she could come up with was her, and she sighed a bit. ”I think I may know the why to that. It’s me.” She looked away, a bit sadly that she was causing this trouble in him. ”You can leave me, if you think it would be safer…” She finally proposed a solution to him. She didn’t want him to leave her, but if it meant that he had control then so be it.
