I tried desperately to control the Shuttle. But the damage to the Systems was too much. I could feel the heat viciously eating away at the enforced titanium on the ships outer layer.
Then I remembered something Dr. Otto Octavious has shown me way back at Science Camp. I leveled my thrusters to the front, pressed a rotate sequence and made the ship rotate like a drill. I put full engine power to the Thrusters and finally broke free of Counter Earths Gravity. My ship was damaged beyond repair, but fortunately the Power Siphoning device still worked. So did the Engines. I continued to help them.
Finally after a few hours of work the Counter Earth shrank to the size of a meteorite. Just when we were about to Obliterate the meteorite a Black hole appeared and sucked it up. All of us too were caught in the onslaught and were being pulled into it.
I opened the shuttle lid and was pulled out. I put the automatic Astmatic Oxygen Filter and tried my best to move out of the Gravity field. With a little help from the Nano Bot's I succeeded. So did Reed Richards, with the help of his rubber like body. Everybody else, including the Surfer was pulled in, or so I thought. I turned away because I couldn't bear to look at the helpless looks on their faces as they were dragged into the Black Hole. I used part of my suit to give Richards an Oxygen mask. I opened communications from my suit to his Oxygen mask and asked him to get as small as possible and get under me.
Then I engaged the Thrusters in my boots and set full speed to Earth. Travelling faster than the speed of light, my power and Oxygen supplies were neary deteriorated by the time we reached Earth. I cradled around Richards and entered the Atmosphere. Thanks to some of my modifications the suit was able to withstand the heat. A few minutes later we crashed into a bay.
And I drifted off into unconsiousness...
I groaned as I woke up. My whole body ached, and it was wet. I opened my eyes. We were floating on top of water. It took me a minute or two to remember what happened. I looked and saw that Richards too was unconcious. There were two other figures lying out side the bay, on the soft grass. One was a badly burnt Nick Fury. The other was Captain America.
I spluttered and got out of the water, Lifting Richards with me.
Then I surveyed the suit. It was burnt and torn from different places. I tried accesing the Nano-Bots,...no response.
They all must have been burnt... and destroyed.
I tried waking up Fury. But he was out cold, with a faint pulse.
But fortunately Cap's armour had protected him and he awoke.
Then me carrying Reed, and him carrying Fury we trudged back to the City. We straight away went to The temporary SHIELD Ground Base.
As we arrived we were greeted by dozens of Reporters and media, desperate to get their story. We ignored them and went on. Once inside, medical specialists of SHIELD Surveyed us. Other than a mild Concussion ,Broken bones and a bit of burns, Richards was fine. But Fury was seriously burnt, they said it was a miracle that he is even still breathing.
I went to a room, lay down and drifted off in to sleep...
