---

Gigas has posed:
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood..as the saying goes. Traffic makes its way through the area. Pedestrians mingle, muddle, meddle and do their thing. Business is active if not necesarily booming, and all is right with the world despite the juxtaposition of more artistic and cultural elements with the cold towering stare of looming buildings and skyscrapers and the heavy traffic such buildings demand.

Yes, all rather ordinary. Even the giant blue muscled behemoth that is currently plummeting from cloud cover down towards the city below. Wait--what?

The impact of Gigas is akin to a small localized concussive bomb going off and an earthquake that is undoubtly picked up by seismometers elsewhere in the city. He lands in the middle of the streets, missing any cars and any people by some miracle but kicking out a shockwave that disrupts traffic and sends people from their feet and tumbling in various directions. His body absorbs the shock of his arrival. He neither bends nor recoils but almost comically remains straight upright throughout it all despite the growing sinkhole like crater forming under him from the force of his arrival. People scream. Phones flash camera flashes. Videos record and go live. The usual human reaction to such things

For his part, Gigas simply swivels his head from side to side, turning it like the movement of a tank turret.

"Hmm....I do no think the beacon sent me to the right coordinates..."

Meanwhile an incoming semi loses control from the shockwave as it rolls past it. The driver frantically attempts to regain and steer it right but ultimately ends up crossing the median and heads right for Gigas.

Hulk has posed:
As that semi-truck ddrrraggggs across the street, something... weird... happens. What was likely a pink skinned human suddenly turns green. And Huge. And growls loud enough to be heard through the glass. Then, the green skinned... whatever or other jumps out of the front window, and one hand brakes the semi-truck before it can do anymore damage.

In the Hulk's green uniform, he roars just a bit as the truck stops, then, he looks over his shoulder at Gigas, a grimace of rage on his face. "Hulk doesn't know you, Red Eyes."

Gigas has posed:
One heroic deed is all it takes to avert what could be true tragedy. The back cargo trailer swerves from the stopping of the momentum, tilts over, and crashes down but that's nothing compared to what might have happened had it struck Gigas and the driver himself is caught by the discharge of the airbag..and generally saved from smashing into what would have been the a near immovable object as such things go. An oblivious one at that.

Gigas, for his part, up till now, had been ignoring the actions of the bystanders. He's single focused, more or less, and busies himself cycling through what could be seen as a list of potential mercenary marks from a readout on his wrist-bands. He purses his lips in annoyance but the roar of the Hulk is more then enough to catch...well..anyones attention. Even his.

"Oooh..what is this?!" His focus is immediately pulled from whatever was annoying him and he begins to take earth shuddering steps towards Hulk, red eyes gleaming in surprise and anticipation.

"Are you an Earthling? I was not told they grew to this size! I have met other humans but they are mostly so soft and frail. Or they look human but are cheating. Damn Daxamites."

He seems to have no concept of personal space, nor a sense of danger, as he moves to stroll right up to Hulk and then reaches out with a massive blue hand to try and grasp for one of Hulk's shoulders, intending on squeezing to test the strength of the jade goliath's body, "And a physique even I might find impressive. Somewhat."

Hulk has posed:
As Gigas steps up to him, Hulk turns around. Then, when Gigas actually reaches to grab his shoulder, the Hulk suddenly growls... and his right fist comes up, swings around, and he grits his teeth as he bring a haymaker around to SLAM a fist right into the chest of Gigas, a full 70 ton hit with nothing held back.

Apparently, Gigas has pissed off the Hulk already.

Gigas has posed:
He deserved that. He may seem well meaning but he's not exactly polite or thoughtful when he's investigating something and wants his way. Everyone has their bad moments after all and Gigas isn't known for being delicate with..wel..anything. At least out in the cosmos. He's an unknown factor here.

An unknown factor that is currently the center of a massive quake that resounds off violently when the Hulk's fist slams right the blue behemoths massive chest with all the delicacy of a fleet of semi's colliding with each other. Windows shatter, the street buckles, cars over turn and any pedestrians silly enough to be close enough to the titans are sent tumbling from their feet and then wisely begin to get the heck out of there.

But as the dust clears and the shockwave settles..a rare sight awaits. The fist of the Hulk planted squarely in the landscape like vastness of Gigas chest and the giant just standing there, grinning and barely blinking. In fact the ground shows where his huge feet dug huge grooves in them for about a yard or so where the giant was pushed backwards slightly by the force but otherwise resisted it with strength only a handful can comprehend.

"Wow!!" he rumbles but then considers, "But not quite what I expected...but not bad."

Gigas clenches his own fist, knucklles popping and cracking like boulders splintering. "My turn?"

If Hulk says yes or not, Gigas swings, bringing a bridge support pillar sized arm hammering down in a downward strike with force Thor would be proud of.

Hulk has posed:
When Gigas is barely moved by the hit, Hulk looks confused a moment, looks up to the talking Gigas, and suddenly he realizes what's coming... and brings up both hands to block the strike.

The result? A crater in the middle of the road, but a barely standing Hulk, who is growling as he unsteadily grabs for and tries to force Gigas back... and visibly grows another foot -the green uniform stretching with him- as Gigas can feel the Hulk's strength grow as he does.

"Hulk doesn't like Red Eyes..." He growls under his breath as his legs brace against the onslaught.

Gigas has posed:
"Hmm.." That was interesting. Cosmic energy crackles briefly around Gigas form but the goliath otherwise remains his present size. "I am sorry." he offers in apology to Hulk's words. He's affable..but simply violent. Violently affable?

Violent..that's for sure. He staggers abit, feeling the growing size and strength of The Hulk and raising both of his eyebrows while a slow grin returns to his face. "..But you are very interesting!"

Will Hulk's strength surge be enough? Gigas strikes again, intending on ending this. His monstrous arm hurtling around and up like some sort of trebuchet to explode like city block shaking bomb into Hulks chest with the intention of launching the jade giant.

Hulk has posed:
All his center of gravity was put into an upper body defense, and doesn't expect an attack to his chest, so when Gigas lands the blow, he goes right along with it, roaring as his balance is upset... and he goes flying into the side of a building.

Remarkably, only a bit of the outer layer of the wall collapses away. The Hulk's bracing has mitigated some of the kinetic force from Gigas... and the Hulk drops to the pavement like a sack of potatoes for a moment.

Gigas has posed:
The blue behemoth isn't far behind him. Gigas legs pump, cracking the earth even further into widening fissures and pushing entire slabs of pavement upward. He then leaps, hurtling through the air in the aftermath of Hulk's flight, fist ready for a follow up but when the wall collapses and Hulk falls to the ground, Gigas kicks his legs forward and impacts against the streets..kicking up a huge groove as he slides forward towards, but not directly to, the jade giant.

He relaxes, resting one fist against his waist and using his other hand to rub his brickish jaw.

"Hmm..perhaps I misjudged this one... Strong but not what I thought..."

Hulk has posed:
Of course, Gigas wouldn't know the Hulk that well. A few seconds of a daze give way to that gamma powered willpower that makes the Hulk one of the most stubborn creatures in the universe.

He scrambles to his feet as he recovers, going onto a feral, gorilla like stance briefly, before he slams down both fists into the ground in rage, and roars loudly at Gigas.

Before, the Hulk was uncertain of this threat. Now... Gigas has proven himself to be something he can't just beat up immediately.

"Hulk SMASH!" He roars, before he goes literally charging into Gigas, shoulder coming down for a shoulder check even as the Hulk grows yet another foot as he dashes.

Gigas has posed:
That..gets his attention. It takes alot to impress Gigas as well. He's fought Daxamites, Czarnians, Cybertronians and assorted gatherings of space monsters and constructs.. Thus when he blinks in surprise at Hulk's sudden recovery and then charge, it's a reaction born from some experience on what it takes to put most things down.

"Humm..? You have more fight in you--"

Then the shoulder charge hits. It slams into him before he can fully brace and what he's been doing previously just isn't enough.

A blast of air is winded from him as he is lifted off his feet and sent tumbling and stumbling backwards attempting to arrest his movements and wildly flailing his arms as he does so. His feet touch down a few times but just drag up concrete and debris only for him to lift up again and finally slam thunderously into the side of the tipped over semi truck trailer. It folds in two around him and skids backwards while he lies in its crumpled heap, blinking.

"Oh--!"

Hulk has posed:
There's no time wasted as the Hulk immediately begins to pummel Gigas right into that trailer, no doubt causing the metallic frame to basically snap under the weight as the full force of the Hulk basically jackhammers right down into Gigas. Head, chest, arms, legs. The Hulk spares no points of Gigas as punch and slams easy hard enough to cause concussive waves in a few feet or so around them.

If anything, the Hulk is getting more dangerous over time as Gigas fights him. "Hulk-" SLAM "-SMASH-" PUNCH "-Red Eyes-" PUNCH "GOOD!"

Gigas has posed:
IT's not a good position to be in, that's for sure. Gigas gigantic body is flattened down as Hulk looms over him and delivers blow after blow whose force is undoubtly being measured in levels of magnitudes of earthquakes. The localized pummelings violently rock the areak widening more fissures, exploding fire hydrants and collapsing streets. Meanwhile Gigas vast body..begins growing.

Muscle piles ontop of muscle as purple hued energy crackles around his frame as the pummeling continues. Already nearly the size of a storefront, he keeps getting bigger and more massive. The gargantua begins truly 'Hulking out' as the blows land until finally a muscled hand reaches up and actually catches Hulk's blow to cushion it and then squeeze it, temporarily holding it in place in a display of impossible strength. His own strength no longer as restrained as taps into more.

"Very good!" he chortles before releasing the fist and swiftly bringing his other arm around and up to plow into Hulk's body with a tremendous uppercut.

The impact triggers earthquake warning systems across the city and blows the crater they were both in wide open. Hulk is sent skywards, hurtling like a rocket beyond the heights of the glass skyscrapers. Gigas is right behind him. His garments are torn and tattered but he still looks well into the fight. This could get much more messy. His leap hurtles his small building sized body like a meteor after the Hulk, trailing debris and energy. A massive fist cocks back as more strength surges as he flexes.

"Very good indeed!"

Hulk has posed:
Controlled descents are a thing that people can do...

Unfortunately, the Hulk is not one of those at the moment. Getting the gamma knocked out of him briefly as he goes sailing past, though the air... Gigas can easily control his ascent.

Unfortunately for him, Gigas is up against an opponent that is /cunning/ is not smart.... and once he's within range, The Hulk /kicks/ at GIgas, trying to shoot him like a soccer ball when he's close.

Gigas has posed:
The blue giants monstrous fist comes hurtling around in a wide punch as he draws nearer - arcing in like a building being swing.

He did not plan for the kick.

"Eh?!" is all Gigas manages to get out before Hulk slams into his body for the mother of all field goal attempts and if Hulk's got anything..he got some strong legs.

Gigas utters something but it can't be heard in the blasting impact sound of Hulks impact. He still -swings- but if his blow just clips Hulk if that. Now it's his turn to be an uncontrolled missile and he goes tumbling away.

He's high enough, fortunantely, to avoid slamming into or through any buildings but he begins rapidly descending and eventually crosses the coast line and goes skidding into the Atlantic just within sight of a few freighters with their awed crew.

It's a sudden but decisive end to the brawl. Gigas wouldn't even begin to know what direction to move in to try and get back and he's got to back to land first anyway.
