Screw up It's funny how just little the difference is between success and failure. A professional baseball player can have a great career, but if he has a failure in The World Series, no offense Bill Buckner, that's what he is remembered for. On the flip side of that, a guy can be a very average player, but if he gets a couple of big hits at the right time, he's lauded as being "clutch". It's not just this way in sports either, it's the same in all facets of life. Career choices, who you marry, all these events become turning points in people's lifes. Some people are so talented, or so single-minded that they suceed in spite of it all. Others are so fucked up to begin with, low I.Q.'s, a deviant criminal mentality, they don't have a prayer to succeed. It is the vast majority of everyone else that does not fit into either category, who's life depends on these critcal moments. Once the momentum begins to roll in either direction, success or failure is hard to stop. Some people think that you create your own luck. How does that take into account the schmuck that buys a lottery ticket once in his life and hits it big? These are the types of thoughts that Jim Drummond reflected upon as he stared out the window of the lab. He once had thought of himself as one of those "immensely talented people" that would succeed without question. Now, 15 years removed from college, and 1 divorce later, he wasn't so sure. There had been too many "what-ifs" and "almost but not quite" type of events that he found it difficult to be so sure of himself. Until today Today would be different. Today was one of those turning points in a person's life that would change the future for them. Indirectly, the person responsible for getting him to this point was soon to arrive. Rebecca Wentworth, his ex-wife was minutes away from the lab. They had met in college at a party. He majored in science, and she was a Drama major. And she certainly would add plenty of drama into their lives. They were mutually attracted to one another. He was taken in by her beauty, and the little bit of bitchiness she possessed served as a challenge to him. She liked his rugged good looks, and the spark for her was Jim's ambition to succeed. She wanted to be wealthy, whether it was by her own doing, or by marrying into money, she did not care. She knew Jim was going to be rich. He was brilliant and ambitious, two traits that her parents lacked in spades. They were married right out of college, and settled in to their lives. She started doing commercial work and he opened his own lab. He was making minor breakthroughs in radiation research while her career was going in the tank. Unfortunately, her bitchiness began to exceed her talent level and she soon gained an unfavorable reputation around L.A. Money became tight. This caused her to pressure Jim into selling his lab. A couple of larger companies that had begun to notice the breakthroughs coming out of Jim's lab. He held a few patents on radiation treatment that really excited these companies. With a decent amount of money being thrown around, and the pressure on from Rebecca, he sold out. Turning points. This began his downward spiral. They took the money and bought a big house in Santa Monica, and hired a well- connected talent agent. He would be the one to ramp up Rebecca's career. This cost big bucks. Meanwhile, Jim took a job at a local college working in a research lab, pondering his next big move. One day he came home to a note from Rebecca that told him that she was moving out and filing for divorce. Over the course of the next few months life became a blur to Jim. He watched as Rebecca moved into an apartment that she had no way of paying for by herself. He couldn't concentrate on work. He couldn't get through to Rebecca. She just would brush him off and say that she had fallen out of love with him. He spent too much time in the lab and not enough time with her. Soon, his house was sold, and he was fired from the university. Before the ink was dry on the divorce papers Rebecca was moving in with her "agent", Rich Wentworth, a man twenty years older than she was. Jim bought a small house in L.A. and recovered from having the rug pulled out from under him. Different opportunities arose throughout the years but 5 years ago, he got a call from his old lab. It was continuing his old reasearch on the removal of radiation from victims of different kinds of accidents. This intrigued JIm and he took the job. The ultimate goal of the project was to cure a single individual of a remarkable accident: Dr. Bruce Banner. Jim watched through the window as Rebecca pulled up in her new BMW. She got out and looked around. Jim had not seen her in a few years but he thought that she was still as attractive as ever. She was wearing one of her usual designer suits that probably cost a couple thousand dollars. Her slim, petite figure was just like he remembered. In the ten years since there divorce she still did not have any children. She was too selfish for kids. Her husband had a daughter from a previous marriage that was only a few years younger than she was. She took off her sunglasses. She had her usual annoyed look on her face. Everything seemingly annoyed her. She looked through the window and saw Jim waving her inside. He opened the door for her, "Come in, come in, its 90 degrees out there." She looked at him funny, "Your certainly cheerful!" He was thrilled that after all of the misery that she had put him through, he was finally going to shove some of that shit back in her face. As she looked around the lab she had a bored look on her face, "I can't believe I'm standing in this lab again. It's still as disgusting as ever." Jim smiled, "Well, this lab kick-started everything off for us way back when. We even spent a couple of fun moments in here. Do you remember when we did it on the table back there.." Rebecca was getting impatient, "I hope you didn't bring me back to this dump to reminisce about the old times. Your not hoping for a replay of that you disgusting.." Jim laughed, "Rebecca, relax, relax, its nothing like that. I see your still as high-strung as ever. I told you on the phone that I had an invention and I needed your help." "Jim, I hope you're not going to waste my time with one of your useless inventions that don't even work." She began to laugh, it was an irritating laugh to Jim. "I'll never forget that stupid gizmo that was supposed to clean up radioactive waste instantly, and all it did was make the air smell like dog shit." Jim smiled at her smugness, he could barely conceal his hidden agenda for having her here. "No, no, it's nothing like that. This will make us incredibly wealthy.." "I am incredibly wealthy already" she interrupted him. "Well, it will also make us incredibly powerful," he replied, as he didn't want to let on too much. "But before I show you my demonstration, let's have a toast," he handed her a glass of champagne. Rebecca looked at Jim with a puzzled expression, he sure was acting weird she thought, but Jim always was a weird guy. Even when the were in college together he was somewhat strange, and when they got married he was even more bizarre. Bizarre but harmless, "Oh let's just get on with it. You'd better not be wasting my time here." She took the glass from him and gave him one of her fake smiles, "Show me what you've got Jimmy" He watched her as she drank a healthy portion of the champagne. Soon...soon it would be showtime. He put his glass down and took hers and placed it down as well. "Rebecca my dear, what would you say if I told you that I was part of a special group that for the past 18 months has been working on a unique device that would be able to siphon off all of the Hulk's powers?" She didn't seem too impressed, "I'd say big whoop, how does that make you or me wealthy, or more powerful?" She began to feel lightheaded. "Are you too cheap to put on the air-conditioning...it's really hot in here." She felt herself blacking out. Jim caught her as she started to fall. Everything was going according to plan. He placed her on a chair and pulled out the rope that he had gotten. He pulled her arms behind her back and tied them together. She would wake up quickly, since the drug was very mild that he had put in her drink. He sat down next to her and stared at her face. She was a beautiful woman. He would always be attracted to her, it was too bad that she has such a scheming bitch. She began to stir. His moment of triumph was almost near. "W-what happened to me?" Rebecca said weakly. Jim cleared his throat. "Well, you are about to find out the real reason that I asked you to come here." Rebecca was completely woken up at this point and she realized that she was tied up. "Jim, what the fuck are you doing, and why am I tied up?" "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted you to be here, when I became the most powerful man on earth!" Rebecca was confused. She remembered Jim mentioning something about draining the Hulk's powers before she passed out. She was getting a weird feeling about this whole thing. "What the the hell are you talking about. You were stammering something before about the Hulk's powers" Jim smiled, "Yes, well you see, I was part of a group that designed a machine that siphoned off the gamma radiation from Bruce Banner. It was designed as a one-way device. The energy goes in, but it doesn't come out. Little did my colleagues suspect that simultaneously, I was making a device that would take that radiation and re- direct it out in an amplified laser beam." Jim waited to let this sink in. He saw Rebecca's face change as she realized the whole ramifications of what he just told her. "So let me get this straight. You are going to take the Hulk's powers for yourself, and then what? You're going to kill me for divorcing you?" Jim laughed, "No no no, I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted you to be here to witness this. Me, your "loser" ex-husband, the guy you divorced so you could marry a rich guy twice your age, is going to become the most powerful person on earth. I just wanted you here to rub your face in it." Rebecca had to hand it to Jim. This was the most ambitious thing that he had ever attempted, not that she would admit it to him. "Somehow, you'll blow it. You always do." Jim ignored her taunts. She was going to eat those words in a few moments. "Charming, as always. Let me give you some random statistics about the power that I am about to receive. We calculated these just to put in perspective how much raw power the hulk actually possessed. First his height: 7'1". Weight: 1002 pounds." Rebecca couldn't believe someone was actually that big. Jim continued on, "He was able to lift 100 tons, and that was when he was calm. When he grew angry, his strength grew exponentially with his rage. He could jump 3 miles at a clip. Imagine that, he was able to not only jump over mountains, he could actually lift them as well. He was easily the strongest individual on earth. Stronger than Thor, stronger than The Thing, stronger than anyone you can think of. And now, I will be. In fact even stronger than the Hulk ever was. As I said earlier, my laser will actually amplify the effects of this radiation. I will be an even stronger hulk than the Hulk!" Rebecca had slowly come to realize that this would happen. Jim would get the Hulk's powers, and he would have the last laugh. "Well, I hope your dick falls off from radiation poisoning. That would be fitting for you Jim," she laughed as she said it. Jim looked over at his ex-wife and laughed, "I'm just so fucking happy that I have you here to witness this! Just think, you left me because you thought that I was a loser. Well guess what, in moments, I will be the most powerful person on this whole fucking planet!" Rebecca was scared. She didn't know how this dweeb pulled it off, but he was going to have the Hulks' powers. And lord knows what he would do with them, or to her, once he had them. She wouldn't have to wait long to find out. Jim walked over to her and placed his hand on her cheek, "Rebecca, you always were so beautiful, but unfortunately, you were always such a bitch." He felt relieved, triumphant even at how the day was unfolding. "It's perfect symmetry having you here. This lab was going to be the building block for our lives together. You wanted me to sell it before the real big payoff could come and because of that we never had all the money we would have had in just a few years. But then, it might not have mattered anyway. If I was making 2 million a year, you might have left me for someone earning three..." She began to sob, as she realized things were about to get ugly. "No, no, don't cry. I'm not going to hurt you," Jim tried to reassure her, "Even though you used me, and were a total fucking bitch to me, I'm not going to hurt you." "Then why do you want me here? To see you become "the most powerful person on the face of the earth?", You'll still be just Jim to me. A pathetic worm of a man who just got lucky!" Jim was adjusting the laser as she said this, and in anger he drew his arm back to smack her, inadvertantly moving it. He stopped himself, "I want so bad to beat the shit out of you, but I have something else in mind. I know what will shut you up. Once I've changed, I'm going to shove my gamma-grown dick in your mouth and make you gag on it." He started laughing hysterically, "And if you try and bite it, who gives a shit, you'll probably chip your tooth!" Jim held the remote activator in his hand, and stepped into position. His moment of triumph was finally here. "Well, good-bye to the old JIm, and hello to...Hulk-Jim!" Rebecca closed her eyes, she didn't want to watch. Jim pressed the button and watched the gamma-rays flow not into him, but Rebecca. "What the fuck is going on!" he thought as he watched the beam absorb directly into his ex- wife's body. How the hell could this have happened. He ran over to the machine and saw that the firing-mechanism had been slightly moved. In his excitement he must have bumped into it. "God-dammit," he cursed as he quickly thought about what to do. He would have to hook Rebecca up to the device and siphon out the gamma-rays just like with Dr. Banner. Rebecca opened her eyes. She felt wierd. All that radiation in the room must have been the reason, she thought to herself. She expected to see Jim all big and green by now, but instead, he was working feverishly on the machine. "What's wrong Jim-dear, was there a problem? Are you not going to become the big bad Hulk-Jim?" Jim tried to ignore her, he didn't want her to have any idea that all of the energy was inside of her. "Ohhh...there must have been some kind of screw-up, or you would have changed by now. How typical, Jim screwing something up", she laughed as she realized her ex-husband was up to his old useless tricks. "There was just a slight malfunction, I'll have it worked out in a second," Jim replied nervously. He didn't know how long he could hide his anger, his frustration, especially with Rebecca taunting him. "What malfunctioned? I heard the machine fire the beam, I even felt all tingly when the beam came out. Did it not work? Or...did it....", she began to laugh, "Don't tell me the beam missed you and all of that Hulk power just evaporated into thin air....because that would be too stupid, even for you!" Jim nervously looked over the computer's readings. It confirmed his worst fear, all of the gamma energy was definitely inside Rebecca. The trick would be to get her hooked up and take it out before she could figure it out. Meanwhile, Rebecca was overjoyed at Jim's misfortune. She really thought that Jim was finally about to do something right. But apparently, he had fucked up again. She couldn't help herself. She could not resist digging the knife deeper and deeper into him. All of that power, it had evaporated into thin air! "I don't know why you keep messing with that machine, it's gone. All of that crap that you were talking about is not going to happen," she teased him. "Jim is a screw-up, Jim is a screw-up," she sang out. She could see his face getting red, she had seen this look many times before.. It was always after Jim fucked something up. "Just think, you had it. You had the ultimate power right at your fingertips, and just like that, poof! It's gone. How does it feel? I would feel aweful if I were you. Like the biggest loser." "Enough!" He screamed out, as he spun towards her with a menacing look. This kind of look was something she had never seen before. It scared her. It was the look of a person who was about to lose it. "I've had it up to here with you," he said as he walked towards her. He was so angry his face was twitching. He stopped in his tracks as he thought about what to do. He had to hook her up right now, there was no way he could withstand her verbal assault without hauling off and smacking her. And that would be the trigger to her trans- formation. He had to come up with something. And fast. "I-I'm going to have to hook you up to another machine," he stammered out. "I'm worried that you might have gotten a lethal dose of residual radiation." He hoped that she would buy it. Rebecca was one sharp woman. However, she wasn't sure if Jim wasn't telling her the truth. "I don't want you to die. Because without the power of the Hulk, I would find it pretty tough to break out of jail. We'd better do this quick." Rebecca could read a person's body language as good as anybody. And right now Jim's was telling her that something was wrong. "If the beam missed you, how come your not worried about this residual radiation killing you?" she asked. She was a smart bitch, Jim thought. Always has been. Time was running out. Soon she would know. And then it would be too late. "Uhhh...that's a good question. When I was reading the information off the computer it said that your radiation levels were high. Mine were clean." This was going poorly. "Rebeca, this is deadly stuff. Most things are killed with just a trace of gamma radiation. And with the effects of the radiation being amplified by the laser..." Rebecca was sure that something was up, "Yes, but the beam fired off into thin air. How could I have been the only one...." She beagan to laugh. "Unless the beam didn't fire off into thin air," Jim could feel his stomach drop. It was the kind off feeling you get when you go on a roller-coaster ride, except this ride was about to end in a disaster. "That's why my body felt all tingly, THE FUCKING BEAM HIT ME!" She began to get light-headed at the possibility of it. "Am I right? I'll bet I am. That's why you didn't change. And that's why you want to hook me up to the machine that took away the Hulk's powers. It's because the Hulk's powers, and amplified powers at that, are sitting inside of me!" Jim was frozen in his tracks. His first impulse was to run. That wouldn't do any good. She would be able to catch him no matter where he ran to. He couldn't believe that his moment of triumph was turning into the worst moment of his life. It would have been better off if the beam had fired off into thin air. Anything but this, anyone else but Rebecca. Rebecca shifted in her chair. Her arms were tied tightly to the back of it, but in seconds that wouldn't matter. An electric feeling shot through her body as it began its initial change. She could feel it beginning. "It's starting Jim, watch..." The gamma energy surged through her body as it triggered a massive explosion of cellular growth. The muscle fibers in her body began to expand rapidly, her bones began to lengthen, and her strength began to grow. She looked at her thighs as they began to stretch her designer pants. The muscles underneath began bulging. She could feel her ass growing over the chair as well, getting harder and harder with each passing second. Her arms burned as they grew against the rope that was tying her up. Jim could only watch helplessly as he watched his ex-wife, the person who he hated the most in the world, grow into the most powerful being on the planet. Rebecca looked over at her ex, and couldn't help but feel total delight in this surprising turn of events. It was bad enough for him that he wasn't getting this power, but the fact that she did, had to be too much for him to bear. And she loved the delicious irony of that. "I'm sorry Jim, I'm not doing a very good job of describing this to you am I?" She loved to tease him any chance she got. "Well, as you can see I'm actually about to break out of these worthless ropes that you tied me up with." and with that the ropes snapped. "I feel like I'm getting really heavy too," and with that the chair gave way. She landed on the ground with a thud. Her solid ass didn't even feel anything hitting the floor. She stood up, admiring her growing body. It was already taking on a shade of green. She looked over at Jim and realized that she was already taller than him. "Is something wrong with you Jim? Are you shrinking? No that's right, I'm growing. Right in front of your eyes." Her muscles kept exploding forth tearing through her clothes as she got bigger and bigger. Jim barely came up to her enormous breasts. She felt incredible, invincible. Any adjective to describe possessing the ultimate in power wasn't enough. She flexed her massive biceps, "Look Jim, these were almost yours!" she taunted him. Her skin had become totally green, and her clothes were barely on her anymore. But she still wasn't done growing. She had reached 7 feet tall, the height of the Incredible Hulk, but with the gamma rays effects amplified by Jim's laser, she still had more growth in her. She looked down to see Jim, and couldn't. She had grown so tall, and her breasts had gotten so big, she literally dwarfed him. "Jim, where are you. Step away from under my tits. I want to see the look on your face." He was puny. Well, everything was puny compared to her at this point. She couldn't believe just how large she had become. "What was that you were saying before Jim? You were somehow amplifying the Hulk's powers with this laser of yours?" She flexed her bicep, it literally was twice the size of Jim's head. "Well, what do you think, are these amplified enough for ya?" Jim could only look up at his once petite ex-wife and cringe. SHE was the one with the largest muscles he had ever seen. SHE had become the strongest person on the planet. SHE was also oddly attractive to him right now. He could feel his dick growing harder than it ever had before. Rebecca noticed Jim's arousal and began to laugh. "What are you going to do with that tiny thing? With the size I am now, I wouldn't even feel you inside me!" She remembered what he had said to her before she had transformed. "Aren't you going to shove it in my mouth to shut me up? I'd like to see you try that now." She began to walk over towards Jim. She felt the last bit of clothing tear away from her immense body as she moved. "This suit cost over two thousand dollars, but it was worth the sacrifice. Don't you agree?" She noticed that with every step she took towards Jim, he scrambled to back up away from her. She liked that. She also liked the feeling she felt when her foot hit the floor, like it was crunching things beneath her feet. Jim had backed up into the wall and could only stare up at the mountain of muscle Rebecca had become. She must have been over 8 feet tall, Jim estimated. She had grown at least a foot larger than the Hulk was. Her muscles had also grown impossibly large, much, much bigger than what the Hulk's were. He could only shake his head when he saw Rebecca's face on top of this amazing body. "You have nowhere left to go Jim. Don't worry though. I'm not going to hurt you. No, no, no. Everyday that goes by, you will have to live with the fact that you blew it." She picked up a chair that was next to her, it had a metal frame. "I want to see just how strong I've become." She squeezed the chair together and compressed it to a ball-shape with hardly any effort at all. "Hah, that was way too easy. But like you were saying before when you thought that you would be getting these powers, these muscles will be able to not only move mountains, but leap over them. After feeling how easy it was to crush that chair, I believe you." Jim was distraught. He just couldn't believe that he had fucked up like this. She was the worst person in the world that could have recieved these powers. She was selfish, self-centerd, self-absorbed, and that was before she had become the most powerful person on the planet. Now, who knew how bad she would become. She was flexing all of the different muscles on her body. It would take some time to get used to being this big, and being green, but she was really enjoying it. She flexed one of her enormous thighs, "You said something before about the Hulk being able to jump three miles right? With thigh muscles like these, I believe it." She extended her thickly muscled arm down towards Jim and grabbed him with her pointer finger. Slowly she curled him up towards her face, giving him a close-up view of her amazing musculature. He felt like he weighed nothing to her, literally nothing, like there was no weight at all. "You know, I always thought that having a lot of money meant power, but I was wrong. This", she flexed her other arm, "This is power!" She moved him towards her flexed arm to compare Jim's head with her bicep. "I don't believe it", she said giggling, "My fucking bicep is twice the size of your head! Look at it Jim! Its amazing!" Jim's face was inches away from the largest muscle in the world. Her arm was in his entire filed of vision, nothing but a humongous green bicep. Suddenly he felt himself falling down, only to land on top of one of her thighs. His ass hurt from landing on what felt like stone. He tried to wrap his legs around her thighs to keep from falling down, but he couldn't get his legs all the way around her thigh. "Look at that Jim, you're riding my thighs! Be careful sometimes these thighs can get a little rough!" She flexed her leg and the force of that threw Jim up into the air. She laughed at how easy it was. A simple flex of her leg threw a grown man 10 feet up in the air. Jim landed onto the ground with a thud. He shook his head as he felt a little groggy. He looked up and saw Rebecca flexing her new body. The back of her calves were right in front of his face. Like the rest of her body, he couldn't believe the thckness of her muscles. He reached over to touch them, he couldn't even help himself. Her calf felt like stone, but at the same time there was a soft ness about her skin. It was an unbelievable feeling. "Are you enjoying my new body as much as I am? I don't think that's possible. Well, I hate to grow and run, but I'm going home. My husband and I are going to have a little talk about this wonderful change in our lives" She walked over to the machine, "I have one more thing to do before I leave," she reached over to the machine and sank her hands into it. Her hands tore into it like it was made of tissue paper. "This is to ensure that I will never have to give up this amazing power. I'm looking forward to having to get an all new wardrobe." She reached down to Jim and placed her hands on the sides of his face, and lifted him up to her lips. "This is my good-bye and thank-you kiss" She kissed him so hard it sucked the air out from his body. She let him slowly slide down her body as he felt himself glide over her immense breasts, his face slipping in between her enormous cleavage, and then falling out from them onto the ground. He quickly stood up as she turned to go, and he got a good look at her awesome glute and leg bicep muscles as she crouched down and then exploded up into the air, crashing through the ceiling of the lab. He looked through the whole in the ceiling, it was large as you might expect, and he shook his head. Somehow, he knew this was not the last chapter in his book with Rebecca.
