The Sapphire Stone Mission
Chapter 2
"I'm here, and the doors are opened..." Tony said, the frown evident in his voice.
"You think it's a trap?" Natasha spoke over the commlink.
"Probably," Tony admitted.
"Stay hidden, we'll be there soon," Steve turned on his commlink in order to communicate with the rest of the team.
"What does this technology allow?" Thor asked, placing his commlink in his ear along with Steve.
"It lets you talk to us," Clint said sarcastically, as if it were obvious. Natasha nudged him in the shoulder, a warning to play nice.
The quinjet landed in the stiff grass of the cool forest around the base where they were told they could find the stone.
"Stark, Stark, we're here," Natasha whispered through the commlink as they approached the base.
"Good," Tony replied, flying over to them casually, "There aren't cameras, before you warn me to be more discreet."
Natasha shook her head in frustration, but Clint and Steve suppressed smiles.
"Should I um... Should the other guy be helping?" Bruce asked hesitantly.
"Wait until we need him, no point if the stone is easy to get," Clint stated.
"Right," Bruce said, following them into the long hallway the doorway opened up to.
"There's two hallways ahead," Tony said over the commlink.
"Alright, Me, Bruce, Clint, come down the right. Tony, Natasha, and Thor, take the left, if you see anyone or anything, don't engage without warning us first," Steve ordered, taking the role of leader since Fury wasn't on the commlink to bark orders at them.
Tony, Natasha, and Thor were walking slowly to the end of the tunnel, Tony was hovering above the ground with his suit.
The tunnel opened up into a large cavern with a box in the bottom of the hole.
"Think it's in there?" Tony asked.
"Maybe, maybe not," Natasha replied, sizing up the situation.
"What'd you find?" Clint asked over the commlink.
"Cavern, box in the bottom, possibly holds the stone," Natasha said quickly, trying to figure out a plan.
"Why isn't anyone guarding this place?" Steve wondered aloud on the comm.
"Maybe it's booby trapped so well that they trust the traps to kill anyone who tries to steal it," Natasha said unhelpfully.
"Great," Steve said, a huff of disappointment after he spoke.
Will they figure out the booby traps? Will they kill themselves? Nah, I wouldn't do that, OR WOULD I?! Muhahaha! This reminds me of the hunger games when Katniss is approaching the pile of supplies. I didn't even realize until after I wrote it.
Haha, I promise, this'll be nothing like that.
