Jake Turner was the embodiment of teenage perfection at Crestwood High. But beneath the charming veneer hid a storm of rage, born from a troubled past.

Jake's childhood was marred by his parents' tumultuous relationship. Their fights left him with a seething fury, which he named Hulk, an alter ego inspired by the comic books he secretly read.

Jake and Lily ventured into the wilderness, their love for adventure leading them to an ancient artifact—an emerald crystal pulsating with energy.

Jake, driven by curiosity, touched the crystal. Its energy resonated with his rage, causing him to convulse as it flowed into him, transforming his body.

Jake's transformation was terrifying. His muscles bulged, his skin glowed, and his eyes turned emerald. The Incredible Hulk was no longer a figment of his imagination—it was him.

Lily watched, frozen, as the Hulk roared. His rage was primal, untamed. He tore through the forest, leaving chaos in his wake.

The Hulk paused, staring at Lily with eyes that held both fury and longing. He loved her as much as Jake did and in that moment, their secret affair was laid bare.

The Hulk extended a massive hand towards Lily. She hesitated, torn between fear and love. Touching his fingers, she felt the raw power coursing through them.

In the aftermath of Hulk's rampage, Lily stood amidst the chaos. She realized her feelings were not for Jake, but for the beast within him—Hulk.

She felt a strange affection for the Hulk, a love forged in the flames of chaos. She saw in him a reflection of her own hidden strength and resilience.

Lily knew that her life would never be the same again. She was in love with a creature of rage and power, yet she felt no fear—only an overwhelming sense of belonging.

As the dawn broke, Lily held the Hulk's hand, ready to face whatever came next. She loved him, not Jake, embracing her love for the beast, the Emerald Rage.
