They Told Me I Could Become Anything (Duramboros)
More often than not, the team found that even with Jake on Minegarde, they could always rely on the next best thing-his dog.
And Ziggura was more than happy to please and associate with the very humans her master had the honor of befriending.
But because she was smarter than most dogs, that also calls for a loss of sense in some aspects of life.
It all started one day in the much larger room adjacent to the normal training room the Avengers use. Its purpose was to test Wyvern Huntress' strength. Being an animal herself, she responds more easily to the feral nature of the monsters.
Diablos proved capable even if it could not tunnel underground. Those horns and that axe-shaped tail would have been sufficient to intimidate anybody six feet or shorter. It was monsters like her and Plum Daimyo Hermitaur that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s maintenance owe their large pay as they are called in almost every day to fix the room up just so that it can get brutalized again.
As the dog lay down to one side of the room to let the people do their job, one worker patted the Doberman's head.
"You know girl, I bet you could be anything you ever wanted."
In the other room, the Black Widow remembered the times when she was forced to dance to the brink of death. The movements were still very clear, and as she pranced and twirled around the room, Wanda couldn't help but look in admiration. To be honest, the witch thinks her thinking skills may have cost her some limb coordination, as when Natasha offers to teach her the ways of ballet.
"Like this" She says to the Sokovian girl, and then twirls like a top.
Unknown to the two females, there was another who watches. And she could not have picked a worse move to attempt to emulate.
The Avengers were called to deal with a threat from HYDRA. Apparently, some of their robots have gone on a rampage down the city.
All was going well and serious. Until Ziggura-as a Rust Duramboros-decides to put her recently acquired knowledge to the test.
As one last HYDRA sleeper bot remains, the Avengers were about to go all out on it when they noticed a large, horned, bipedal monster suddenly spin in circles…
And with its wide tail as a counterbalance, launches itself into the air, both ends of its body still spinning like chopper blades until their mechanical adversary was lost under hundreds of pounds of tough, folded skin.
Pietro, Rhodey, and Sam were in stitches after what happened; Steve was trying to give a few words over the TV, but could not stop the occasional spouts of laughter; and Natasha was initially in shock as she saw a monster do what she suspected was a ballet twirl, only for her to put her head down with Wanda as they both hid their smiles-Wanda a lot more easily thanks to the length of her auburn locks.
Duramboros simply huffed in the face of the media. A perfect ending to the video posted a few hours later on Youtube.
Nick Fury soon demanded to know what the hell just happened. As he did, he obliviously shooed the man responsible to the bathroom to fix the mother of all leaks.
