"I feel like I said something that I shouldn't have." I heard Hercules said something along such lines but I was not listening. There was only one thought inside my mind as I walked towards the small light that I could see only in the back of my mind that indicated my brother, and therefore also our father, was on the island.
A sister.
A sister.
I had a sister!
I didn't know why exactly that was getting such an intense reaction from me. I already had known about the existence of Lyra, the daughter of Hulk and Thundra from the dystopian future with a war between gender based societies, so it shouldn't be a surprise to me that Hercules had somehow met her.
And yet I could feel my fingers twitch and a confused smile appear on my face at the thought of her, at the thought of sister who I had never met and likely did not have a high opinion of me due to her upbringing by a ultra misandrist society.
Yet as I finally reached my father and brother, the first words that came out of my mouth were...
"Where's my sister?"

"What are your thoughts about this... Lyra?" Norman Osborn asked his deputy director, basically glorified secretary, Victoria Hand with a raised eyebrow and the bespectacled woman answered immediately.
"She's dangerous."
"No shit she's dangerous, I meant other than that." Norman rolled his eyes.
"...I believe that while her interest in you is concerning, especially when one considers the kind of thinking that her people who seem similar to Thundra must have imparted into her, it's not exactly the most important problem." Victoria said with a sigh. "While she does appear to be a master martial artist along with a Hulk, we believe that she doesn't get stronger with anger or she would have punched right through Hawkeye. Instead she seems to be actually get weaker with anger, rather ironic considering her heritage, so I would say that it's the other woman that is more concerning." She said as she pressed a button on the remote in her hand and a projection of a very muscular woman with black hair with red streaks, pure yellow eyes and completely red skin.
"It hasn't even been a month since the first sighting of that Red-Hulk and we already have a female version. At least the green one had the decency to wait for a few years." Norman huffed as he looked at the projection. "And she also has demonstrated Red-Hulk's heat emission."
"Yes, as Ares can confirm from his burns."
"Do we have any idea who she might be? Or are we in the dark same as the Red-Hulk situation?"
"Unfortunately, but she did show a rather intense dislike of Bruce Banner when he appeared."
"Oh then it's no problem. We simply have a list of suspect consisting of, every damn person with a grudge against Hulk on the planet." Norman gritted out as he slammed his fist on his desk. "How goes our search for Banner and his brute son?"
"Not well, we have completely lost them after the battle. It seems like Banner is using Sterns' old teleportation technology." Victoria said with a shake of her head and Norman had to take a deep breath in order to calm himself down. It was one disaster after another.
He still did not understand why Banner, his brute son and that moron Hercules had appeared nor what these female Hulks wanted and it was starting to get on his nerves. That despite all the power he had managed to accumulate as the director of SHIELD and the leader of the Avengers, there was still people running circles around him with their plans.
Was this how Spider-Man felt when he had been. NO!No, he was not that thing and he would not hear it otherwise. Not even in his own mind, he refused.
"Tell Hawkeye and Marvel to broaden the range of their search and not to come back before they manage to find something." Norman said with a huff before a glint appeared in his eyes. "And start making inquiries about X-Men's latest activities around the globe."
If he couldn't deal with them by himself, he could just delegate that task to those who wanted to do it. And there were lots of people concerned about the possible reemergence of the mutant-kind.
