Marvel Headcanon: She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters x Male Lycan Reader

Broken Truth: I was watching some old clips of She-Hulk from a cartoon and this idea started swimming around in my head; best to get it out before it turns into a storm. I'm adding She-Hulk to my Marvel List so feel free to request her sometimes. Let the words weave together.

When Jennifer first met you, you were hanging out with her cousin - Bruce - about something important and she found you cute; strong, muscular male with short [hair color] hair and focused [eye color] eyes, wearing a black shirt with blue jeans and boots, you had some scars on your forearms but that only added to your appeal in her eyes. She wanted to get to know you better.

She approached you and started flirting with you but her cousin told her not to bother you because you were trying to focus on the machine you were working on, however, she didn't listen to her cousin and continued to flirt with you but you just smirked and rose to your feet and faced her with a raised eyebrow. You asked her did she really think that she could handle you but she just chuckled and began flexing her muscles before you just transformed into your Lycan Form; now towering over her, causing her to gasp and look up to you.

"I'll repeat my question, gorgeous." You started while wrapping your fingers against her chin, making her look directly into your eyes, "Do you really think that you can handle me?" You growled into her ear, making her shiver from the heat against her ear shell. The She-Hulk nearly swooned at the action performed by you and chuckled again before she met your eyes again, she placed her hands on your furry but muscular chest before she stood on her tiptoes to reach your ear.

"You have no idea just how much I can handle, Wolfy; how about we find out together?" She whispered in your ear but Bruce got in between both of you and pushed you away from each other, causing both of you to look down at him.

"Jennifer, stop flirting with [Name], he has work to do, and [Name] transform back and stop flirting with my cousin." Bruce demanded before you exhaled and reverted back to your human form; thankfully, your clothes didn't rip off and even if they did, you were wearing an elastic suit underneath your clothes. You got back to work on the machine while Jeniffer started pouting at her cousin before she began walking to her own side of the room and leaned against the wall, but still watching you work.

You were something she wanted - a man to love her and take care of her, while she didn't need a man to care for her, she still liked the thought and you seemed to have checked all the boxes of a potential partner; you were strong, handsome, serious when you needed to be but flirty just like her and don't even get her started on your transformation. She was going to have fun getting to know you better.

Jennifer Walters x Reader

Request: yesss

Summary: you and Jen finally get around to that coffee date and more :)

Warnings: Swearing; alcohol and cannabis consumption; criminally hot Jen

Word Count: 2

You had never been so nervous nor excited for a date.

But it was a date, right? What if she sabotaged your court case if it went badly? What if she was disappointed? What if you read her wrong and all she originally wanted was to talk about your case?

But she had blushed and she was no saboteur. She had already e-mailed you on the case and said all she needed to. No, it would be fine. It was with a secondhand kind of defiance you decided you needed to take on that same bold edge you automatically had with other women.

"Can I get you something to drink, young man?" an elderly waiter wheezed, looking thoroughly displeased when you politely told him you were still waiting for someone.

You thought about the Lin Kuei, in a reminiscent way that did bubble up to bother you at least once a day.

What might they think of you here, anxious over a woman they would probably no sooner consider kind than a threat to human society.

You were so lost in thought you didn't notice the door swing open to reveal Jennifer.

She smiled in your direction, presently realising that you didn't know she was there. She noted how you looked so cool and uninterested in everything around you. Something she hadn't seen in you at her office.

You finally glanced at her and immediately lit up with a grand smile.

"I'm glad to see you, Miss Walters."

She sat down happily, seeing again and in a stronger light today that wondrous body, that beautiful smile, those skilled fingers trilling on the surface of the table.

"It's nice to see you too, Mr (y/L/n)," she teased.

You took a moment to let your eyes wander across her attire; the similar white shirt and black pants as she had been wearing last, only with the top buttons undone in a sort of casual flexibility.

"So, am I right to assume the time had come to cover the usual?"

The elderly waiter scurried over immediately, purposefully ignoring the appearance of Jennifer, willing to bring you both your coffee and tea, no matter the skin colour.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Where are you from, Miss Walters?"

•••

"You did what? Oh, that's brutal," you laughed incredulously, Jennifer snickering at her childhood story.

"Well, David shouldn't have called me Susan. He knew I didn't like it, I swear. I had no choice but to unleash all the power of the chicken on him."

"Damn, I'm glad I'm not your cousin. Is this a bad time to tell you I'm afraid of millipedes? If I ever do something to hurt you, will you drop a bucket of them over my head?"

"Millipedes? What on earth's so scary about millipedes?" she laughed, and you decided them and there you were prepared to admit to a thousand fears to hear her laugh 1001 times.

"Well- I dunno, they kinda just crawl all over you, y'know? When I was little we had a basement and in the winter the whole floor was full of them and if you stood there long enough they'd start crawling up your legs." You shuddered. Another things the Lin Kuei would never understand.

"Okay, that does sound pretty uncomfortable," she conceded, a quick, involuntary glance at her watch when she saw the waiter glare at them.

Apparently, he wasn't used to loud customers spending more than two hours at his workplace without spending more than ten dollars.

"Looks like moustache is getting impatient, huh?" you whispered, winking at her before standing up and pressing a ten dollar bill into the man's palm coolly.

It seemed those two dollars and 30 cents extra were enough to buy you an extra warm goodbye, with many good tidings and an enthusiastic 'can't wait for your next visit'.

"You didn't have to pay, y'know," Jennifer said on the way out, the glass door falling into place with a clank behind you.

"That's fine. You can pay next time if you want." She couldn't help but smile at the implication of a next time.

"So... I'm heading to a house party with a friend soon, but if you want you can tag along?"

You didn't really expect her to accept. Your date had ended, she probably wanted to go home and recuperate, or head back to work, depending on how her hours worked...

You realised then how much you still wanted to talk to her about.

What you hadn't calculated into your estimation was that Jennifer, while possibly rather nervous or an over-thinker - was also a merciless extrovert.

"Yeah, sure, if you really don't mind?"

"Certainly not, love," you covered up quickly, and so you comfortable made your way to a rather different part of Los Angelos.

Your friend Wren lived in a rather rundown place in the north of L.A. Her apartment basically consisted of a kitchen, a dingy bathroom with a broken light and a poorly concealed bed.

You opened her door with you own set of keys, the first event of the evening Jennifer didn't comment on.

"Wren! You home?"

"Yeah, just putting on my make-up. Come on in," she shouted back from her giant bed.

"I brought a visitor." You glanced at the clock in the kitchen which read half past six.

"Really? You telling me you had human contact with someone apart from me?" Mockery ebbed into her tone with defiance.

"Jennifer. I told you, remember?"

The second event she didn't ask about.

"Oh... right. Wait a sec." There was some shuffling from behind the paper flip-wall and she popped out, one eye with eyeliner and mascara and one without. "Hi! It's nice to meet you."

"Uh- Nice to meet you, too." Some part of Jennifer had denied the female voice and somehow stuck to the assumption that your friend was a man.

Wren was very far from a man. She thrived on being feminine and her body had definitely graced her with a figure to support that sentiment.

You pulled her into a quick hug. Not the kind of quickness that derived from lack of comfort, but the kind which you only did out of habit because you saw each other every day, anyway.

She gulped. You wouldn't have asked her on a date if she had anything to worry about. You wouldn't have asked her if she wanted to come if you weren't interested after all.

Or would you? Did the date not go well? Were you just being polite?

"Zip this up for me, would you?" Wren asked, turning around from one skin-bearing side of her dress to another. Not much was left to imagination.

You zipped up the back of her black dress harshly, leaning over to whisper in her ear: "Cut it out. I don't need you making her jealous, the date went well."

She pulled away, offered Jennifer something to eat and while she walked to the fridge, her answer was breathed right back at you: "If you're not at home fucking, the date didn't go well enough."

You sighed. Wren generally focused on the physical part of relationships, and admittedly, usually you did, too. But this was a different situation.

Jennifer wasn't just hot - she was, no doubt about it - she was also kind and smart and open and...

Oh, no.

"So, Jen... I wasn't counting on you coming, but I have a dress here that you can wear."

"Oh. Wow, that's really nice of you," Jennifer answered kindly, ignoring the nickname.

"Here," Wren announced, pulling out one of the most revealing dresses You had ever seen in your life. Red with a slight shimmer, high cuts on the sides, deep v-neck, a diamond cut out above the abdomen, and on her it would be… well, her.

"You're fine to go in what you're wearing now, too," you said quickly, but again you had underestimated her confidence.

"No, that looks nice. Thanks again."

She took the dress under her arm with a wink and sauntered to the bed. Your eyes widened and you couldn't help but follow the swing of her hips.

"Okay, first of all, she's hot, like, truly sexy," Wren started, and I let my face fall to my palms. "Second; totally into you. She was glaring daggers at me before."

"Yes, thank you for that," you whispered sarcastically.

"You're welcome." A cunning smile, indeed.

What that dress on Jennifer did to you could not be described. The curve of her ass and bosom that you swore to yourself you only noticed in peripheral vision and the hugging fabric, slights rills for texture, her hair out and shining.

You looked away quickly as to not let your body betray you, and this was the third event Jennifer didn't question even though she wanted to.

•••

You were quick to realise that this was not Jennifer's scene and that she was subsequently doing an impressive job of blending in.

The night club hadn't been busy; it was only 7:30 when you arrived - far too early for the crowd, but you were going to meet some friends and had hoped to talk before two bodies couldn't help but press together in the open space.

It was eleven o'clock now - you had long given up on talking and had waded into the crowd to dance, or at least move somewhat to the beat.

And even though she was only moving to the beat, Jen looked incredible. She always did, but this was a little new.

She had transformed back to human form because she didn't want to be introduced or recognised as a hulk and she wanted to fit into the dress.

You couldn't believe how much you loved both of her forms. How could she always be so gorgeous?

"Hot in here, isn't it?" she asked, having managed to reach the other end of the open.

You opened your mouth once or twice before answering, still half embarrassed by your thoughts, then mumbled a 'yeah, I guess so'.

"Can we go outside for a moment?"

"Sure."

Once you were situated in the backyard of The Black Cat, you pulled out a cigarette, lighting it quickly, only now considering whether that might put her off.

Deeming it too late, you took another drag and held it between two fingers as you sat down. "What's up, love?"

"Something's off about you," she stated bluntly, and you accidentally took the smoke up your nose.

"Sorry?"

"Oh- Okay, that sounded wrong. What I mean is- Look, I have had more contact with the supernatural in the past year than ever before, so my believing has been tried and tested. You," she pointed her index finger in your vague direction as if she had to specify who she meant, "did not seem bothered by that scorching hot coffee until I asked you about it. You aren't hot in the club. You don't sweat. Your fingers were blue the other day at the office - I promise, it wasn't nearly that cold."

You gulped. It was a bad habit of yours - letting your fingers go cold when you were anxious to distract you. How could you make an excuse to explain this? Would she believe it? Could you make yourself tell her all that simply wasn't true?

Weren't you finally tired of hiding that part of you?

"Uh- Okay. You promise you won't freak out?" you asked unsurely, and she quickly nodded. "Well- Have you ever heard of Sub-Zero? That, um... That might or might not be me, depending on whether or not you're one of the people who think he's a vigilante."

You could clearly see the shock on her face and your heart sunk. No one knew that other than people involved and Wren. You hadn't trusted anyone else. You had only known this woman for two days. Why had you told her?

"I'm not. If there's one thing I've learned other than to expect everything... it's that you don't know anything if you don't have a motive."

She smiled. You beamed.

She leaned in slowly, closing her eyes, and you stomach did somersaults in the most childish way you might imagine.

Your lips met and it all fell into place. Literally and figuratively. You were born to kiss this woman. Born to put your hands on her waist and pull her into your lap while she ran her fingers through your hair. Born to think of what a beautiful mind she had while being overwhelmed by physical attraction.

You stayed like that for a while, then danced together, then went back to Wren's house in the early hours to help your friend throw up and finally parted with a goodnight kiss that lasted just six seconds too long.

She didn't question any more events that night.

—————

Sorry if it's a bit rushed toward the end but I've already written the next part and I wanted to post it... will do so upon interaction ;) that's called marketing strategies btw

Next part is a little filthy but also wholesome in the sexiest way. Hope you're ready..........

Good night

WILL YOU TAKE MY CASE?

Jennifer Walters x Reader

Request: Yes!

Summary: you are basically sub-zero from Mortal Kombat (martial artist, weapons master, ice powers) and have been wrongly accused of assault. You have sought out Jen for a lawyer, obviously ;) male y/n btw. I studied law for this, you're legally obligated to enjoy

Warnings: mentions of/flashbacks to violence, bad divorce

Word Count: 2.3K+

Mindless violence wasn't your thing. Violence? No, you weren't new to that, but nether the less careful in deciding when something or someone could really use a good punch.

This was not something you would have done, not in a million years. But unfortunately, this wasn't the first case for assault being handed in against you, either.

You stared at the tall building apprehensively, weighing your options as if you had been doing anything else the past days.

With a final sigh the automatic doors realised you were in close range and opened. One awkward conversation with the secretary woman later you found yourself in an elevator with an elderly lady mumbling concerning things and a young man with a comically hooked nose who seemed to have a cold and sneezed every 20 seconds.

With that in mind, the relief when walking down the corridor almost matched your fear for this appointment.

Almost.

You leaned your forehead against the cool wood of the door for a moment, inhaling shakily - once, twice, half a time - before knocking.

A general shuffle and evidence of movement emanated from the other side before the door was opened, revealing an anxious - and might you add, stunning - woman.

"Please, come in, I was just seeing my last client out," she said quickly, glaring at none other than the Hulk himself, who clumsily walked out of the door (backwards) when you moved aside. He waved sheepishly and eventually it was just the two of you.

You weren't surprised, of course. You knew who you were visiting and if anything you were more surprised she had a usual-for-humans skin tone.

"Um- I apologise, I wasn't quite prepared for you, take a seat. He was my client, you know, purely business, obviously, and I- Do you mind if I take on my usual form? I just don't want to scare people off if I greet them that way," she rambled, organising some of the paperwork strewn across her desk, although you doubted some of the piles she absent-mindedly stacked together were meant to be united.

"There's no rush, it's fine," you consoled quickly, her movements slowing somewhat. "And I don't mind your appearance at all, I came for a lawyer after all, and I know how good you are at your work no matter how you look." You smiled kindly and and she found herself opening and closing her mouth, not entirely sure if she was capable of looking away.

"Y-Yes, I guess that's true. Uh- Please. Sit."

"Oh," you murmured, realising you were still standing and quickly mounting the white leather chair across from her desk. As you did, she morphed - slowly, not in any way intimidating - and you were mesmerised by how she could be so beautiful even green and larger than the average human.

You weren't afraid of that power. Even if she was undoubtedly much stronger than you, you were rather muscular and very tall yourself, but even if you hadn't been you couldn't really imagine how others were so put off.

Your eyes slipped to her lips, the pale pink with an overlay of green, but still... Yes, you could reach her easily, you wanted to know how it felt to-

No. She's my potential lawyer.

"Well, we'll start off with some simple questions, if you're ready? If at any time you wish to have a break, feel free to let me know." You nodded stiffly, embarrassed at your own thoughts.

"Okay. First of all - and I need you to look me in the eye when you answer - did you commit this crime?"

"No." You met her gaze easily. Her look was scrutinising, not unkind, a play of emotion rising within her as she inquired your posture, let her gaze wander to the deep collar of your shirt and the strip of teasing skin it revealed where you were too lazy to do a button up that morning, finally said: "I believe you." And you believed her without a doubt.

"Then," she continued, and you didn't miss the flustered red tint on her cheeks, "as you may know, the most common defence in assault cases consists of self-defence. Could that suit your case? Alternatively, protecting someone else is almost as good. In your case maybe even better." A glance down at your heavily toned body. Quick looks, quickly returned to her desk or your eyes.

"Yeah, I guess so. I mean, they were definitely tryna jump me and steal my stuff, but surely that could have endangered me. They were also holding me at knifepoint."

"Okay, that's good. Well- sorry, I misspoke, I meant good for the case. Obviously, I'm very sorry you had to live through that, it can't have been easy-"

"It's fine, really. I've survived worse." You licked your lips briefly, seeing the unasked question on her lips before she could hide it.

"Oh. Um, if possible, you're going to have to tell me the whole story, from wherever you see fit until whenever they were out of the picture." Sympathetic glance, more aphonic questions.

"Yeah, sure. So, uh, I was walking home from the casino - I guess you might wanna leave that out, doesn't really paint me as a great guy, does it? - and I stopped in this little supermarket thingy. There were four other guys there and I guess they saw me hand over some big notes to the cashier because, as I said, I had just won some big money, and then I left the shop with a bottle of wine and some crackers."

You stopped, pondering over your recent words and cringed at the sound of a guy buying cheap wine and crackers with his significant gambling money.

"I lost the wine when they jumped me - don't worry, still getting to that - but I still have the crackers if that helps. I wasn't intoxicated or anything at the time, don't worry. I hadn't drunk anything yet."

She nodded in understanding which you misinterpreted as judgement.

"Uh- anyway, I left the shop, and instead of buying something these guys followed me. I didn't notice them right away, or at least not what they were doing, otherwise I wouldn't have walked down the alleyway that's kinda a shortcut to my home, but it's like one of those horror alleys, y'know? Dark and nowhere anyone who isn't very local would ever wanna go."

She actually laughed, a beautiful, rich, hearty laugh that made your skin tingle and the hairs on your arms spike upwards.

"Well, I walked down there and they sprung me. I hit 'em. Yeah. That's kinda it."

"I'm going to need more detail. Much more." The tone was stern but sorry, a bitter plea so that she could do her job well.

"Oh. Sure. Well, they kinda said 'hey, man, looks like you got a lotta cash' or something like that, and I just kept walking, because, I mean, who stops when someone says something like that? Anyway, they wouldn't let up and the minute I actually turned around the one dude was already pushing me against the wall with a knife, asking for money. I was all 'why can't we be civil about this, mate?', but he wasn't having it, so I kinda had to punch him in the face. Sometimes I, uh, underestimate how strong I am, so I guess that's all it took to break his nose and his jaw, and then when he was on the ground whining the other three lurched forward at the same time and I-"

You stuttered for a moment, unsure how to put this, continued: "Look, I've done martial arts and stuff my whole life, so intuition kinda kicked in and I sorta kicked them all once... twice, maybe, in one case? No more than that, though. Then I called an ambulance and left. I wasn't sure what was the right thing in that situation, but it didn't look too good for me, did it, with four guys just lying unconscious on the ground? I assumed they would keep their mouths shut considering they're the ones who jumped me."

You sighed, a tired sound that Jennifer didn't like any more than your story.

"Thank you," she spoke softly, and you would have repeated the story a hundred times to hear her use that sweet tone a hundred times more.

"Can I, uh- I don't doubt your skills are worth it no matter the price, but I kinda have a low budget-"

"It won't be too much. 7000$ or the likes. That's just above average and we are a high-grade service-"

"No, of course," you interrupted as you watched her slip into a much more formal voice. "That should be fine."

"Alright. Now - I'm sorry to say that in court, assuming you wish to go to court with this, you'll have to lay it on thick when telling your story. No lies. Just... make sure it comes across that you were genuinely terrified of this situation." You nodded dumbly, thoughts all over the place, but none in a court room.

"So, I've done some research on these people, and it turns out two of them have a history of violence and a criminal record. Obviously, the one who ran away before the ambulance came and isn't partaking in this, I don't know, but yeah. Nothing major, but quite a few minor thefts and for one of them, two restraining orders. This is very good for the case and supporting the story. Now, I have to ask - do you have a history of violence?"

You staggered on your own words, your jaw dropping instead of doing what it was supposed to do. Why am I so nervous?

"Y-Yeah, I think so. Nothing major, just a few... arguments that went a little far. Some of them I'm not even sure if they were recorded or if the policemen just let me go. I can be pretty convincing when I wanna be," you smirked, then licked the frown on your lips, realising how flirty a tone you had adopted on accident. And yet, you were pleased to find Jennifer with a quite impressive blush adorning her cheeks.

"That's unfortunate," she commented after a moment's hesitation, "but not too bad. I'd call on that information later, potentially. No witnesses, I presume?"

"None."

"Shame."

You locked eyes and before you could stop yourself you were asking: "So... will the pretty lady take my case?"

You could have clapped a hand over your mouth at the bold name. Generally, if you saw a beautiful woman, on most days you would go for it, and you were bold. But this wasn't just anyone. This wasn't even appropriate. And somehow the way she was looking at you was installing an unusual nervously within you.

"Why, yes, I think the pretty lady will," she countered slyly, and you couldn't help but let the smirk take over your face.

"Thank you so much. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"No, it should be fine for now. If I think of something, I'll write to you, I have your e-mail after all."

"Yeah. You do. That's right," you muttered, not at all sure why. "Uh- I just wanted to say that in the past lawyers haven't really been great for me, so... I'm glad this is gonna go differently." She took on the instilled challenge with a smile.

"If I may ask... What were those lawyers handling, exactly?"

"Oh, just- just divorce stuff. It's a right pain. I don't know if you cover those cases, but... I tried a few and they all turned out to be either biased - for her - or so cruel I couldn't bare to see them attack my, my, my, ex-wife like that." You forced the corners of your lips upwards in what you knew was an unconvincing smile.

"I'm very sorry. I wouldn't have guessed you'd be married, you look so young." You truly grinned at the intent of comfort, running a hand through your hair to calm your nerves.

"Yeah, good genes."

"I'm sure."

"Okay, should I- am I supposed to leave at this point or?" Her face dropped a little and you regretted saying anything at all. "I just- I don't wanna waste your time with stories that you don't need..."

"Oh. Yeah. That's- My next client will be here in five minutes, so I guess..."

"Yeah." Awkward moments, brief flickers of your eyes heading further down than was acceptable.

You reluctantly pushed out of your seat and approached the door, lifted your hand unsurely to say goodbye and were half out the door when-

"Wait!" You turned at once, eyes wide. "Do you... You know... want to discuss the case over coffee some time? I always find offices so... intimidating."

You studied her, watched the anxious shift in her shoulders, contemplated the dilated pupils and tapping fingers, chest moving up and down just a little quicker than usual as her muscles flexed...

"Yeah, no, I'd love that. And if you still have some time after... maybe we can talk about something else, too."

The red tint crept up her neck and along her ears adorably as she nodded hurriedly. You smiled gently before nodding once more and heading out the door.

What have I done?

Well, you thought harder, she took my case, I suppose...
