After taking out one of the agents, Barton sent a few men to capture Natasha's little sister. He felt that it was wrong, but he could not fight Loki's orders.
"Keep that engine down. Detention cell. Wait for the camera's to go dark. Go and get Isabelle Romanoff ad bring her to Loki. Make sure nothing happens to her, she's needed later. You. Stay close." The team split up following Barton's orders.
Elsewhere, Natasha was trying to to calm down Bruce. "Doctor?" Bruce only replied with a groan. Natasha tried to pull her leg free as she called for Banner again. "Bruce? You got to fight it. This is just what Loki wants. We're gonna be okay. Just listen to me."
Two other agents were running to them, they called to Natasha asking if they were hurt. Nat knew that their presence would only further aggravate Bruce show she waved them off. "We're going to be okay. All right? I swear on my life, I will get you out of this. You will walk away and never ever-"
"Your Life!?" Bruce growled at Natasha in a monstrous voice.
Natasha watched as the Hulk took over. As the enormous creature grew and tore through Bruce's clothes, Natasha pulled her foot loose.
She stood up, and the Hulk turned face Natasha. The Black Widow's fight or flight reflex kicked in and she turned and ran. The Hulk took her running away as a threat and ran after the Widow.
Back in Loki's prison, he heard the roar of the Hulk and a sinister smile grew on his face.
Else where ,Stark was suiting up, as Rogers was on his way to engine three. Steve opened a door freeing trapped agents. Steve made it to were all the damage was, Steve looked around, "Stark! Stark! I'm here!"
Tony flew towards the turbine, "Good. Let's see what we got. I got to get this superconducting cooling system back on line before I can access the rotors, work on dislodging the debris." Tony pushed a piece of the turbine back into place before pointing to Steve. "I need you to get to that engine control panel and tell me which relays are in overload position."
Steve didn't understand everything Tony had just said, but he nodded and started swinging himself to were Tony wanted him. When Steve got to the panel Tony asked him what he saw. "What does it look like in there?"
Steve didn't know what he was seeing, "It seems to run on some sort of electricity."
Tony was some what surprised as the amount of sass that just came from the captain. "Well, you're not wrong."
Back To the Hulk and Widow
Natasha was hiding behind some equipment, she only started running again because she heard the heavy footsteps of the Hulk. Natasha turned only to come face to face with the Hulk who roared in Nat's face making her run again. But with an injured leg and the Hulk having larger strides, I did not take long for the Hulk to catch up and back hand her, sending her into a wall.
The Hulk started to stalk towards her, only to be speared by Thor, bringing Bruce's alter ego to a different part of the Carrier. Thor stood his ground as the Hulk snorted and paced before taking a swing at Thor who had ducked. As the Hulk took another swing Thor dodged before taking his on swings at the creature.
The Hulk swung down, as if he were going to hammer Thor into the floor, driving Thor to his knee, straining in the amount of effort it was taking to be crushed, Thor wheezed out. "We are not your enemies, Banner. Try to think."
The Hulk scoffed, lifting Thor off the ground and punched him. Sending Thor through crates of equipment.
Back To Steve and Tony
"Okay, the relays are intact." Steve pushed the panel back into place. "What's our next move?"
"Even if I clear the rotors, this thing won't re-engage without a jump. I'm going to have to get in there and push."
"If that that thing gets up to speed, you'll get shredded."
"That stator control unit can reverse the polarity long enough to disengage maglev and that could-"
"Speak English!" Steve cut Tony off.
Tony rolled his eyes, huffing. "This would be so much easier if I had my daughter... You see that red lever? It will slow the rotors down long enough for me to get out. Stand by it. Wait for my word."
"Stark, think of your daughter-"
Tony ground his teeth together, "I am. If this thing goes down, everyone, including my daughter could die."
Back to Thor and the Hulk
Thor and the Hulk were still fighting in another part of the Carrier. Thor had just been sent threw more equipment, but he rolled though, landing in a crouch. He held out his arm, summoning his hammer.
Thor had caught his hammer in time to avoid being struck and he managed to swing Mjolnir up and strike the Hulk in the face, causing Hulk to land on one of the jet, destroying the tail.
Grunting, the beast stood back up. The Hulk growled, ripping off the wing and throwing it at Thor. Thor slide on his knees, ducking as the wing lodged into the windshield of a humvee. Thor threw Mjolnir, Hulk tried to catch it, but Mjolnir did not deem the Hulk worthy and he was dragged backwards by the hammer. The Hulk tried to lift the hammer but was unable to do so. As the creature tried even harder, Thor had charged at it, kneeing the hulk in the head. Thor picked up the hammer, using to put the Hulk in a choke hold, straining to keep hold as the Hulk was swinging him around like a rag-doll.
The Hulk jumped up with Thor still on his back, bringing them both to the fourth level of the Carrier.
Thor had picked up Thor and threw him, the Hulk went to attack her again, but one of the jets started to shoot at the Hulks back. The bullets did not do anything but anger him even more.
The Hulk growled at the jet before running and jumping onto the nose of jet, punching at the cockpit. He re-positioned himself and starting tearing the jet apart. The pilot panicked and ejected his seat when he saw that a wing was torn off as if the jet was simply made of paper. But the Hulk managed to grab onto the seat, swinging the pilot around before throwing him in a different direction, where the pilot was able to open up his parachute.
However, with how much damage the Hulk had done to the jet, it exploded, sending the Hulk flying backwards and free falling back down to Earth.
As the Hulk fell back to Earth, Tony was cutting away debris to free up the turbine. While Tony did that, Steve watched, carefully as a couple of men walked towards the turbine. He was paying close attention because the men were dressed as SHIELD agents. On of the men took out a grenade, pulled the pin and tried to throw it at Tony an the turbine, but Steve swatted the grenade away while jumping from one side of the wreck to another.
Steve grabbed onto a catwalk and swung himself, kicking the man who threw the grenade in the ribs, another tried to shoot him, but he managed to throw a couple punches. Steve disarmed the man and threw him off the Carrier. Only having to duck when another attacker stalked towards the captain, firing his machine gun. Steve picked up a piece of debris, throwing it towards the attacker. With the distraction, Steve was able to retreat to a higher advantage point. Steve picked up a gun that belonged to the man he threw of the Carrier, firing his gun at the other guy.
"Stark! You gotta hurry this up! Another engine has lost power!" Steve called as he fired off a few more rounds, keeping their attacker at bay.
Tony replied as he started to push the turbine "Yeah. I noticed."
Steve was firing his gun, only having to cringe away, avoiding ricocheting bullets. As he did that, Steve lost his footing and started to free fall, just able to grab hold onto a dangling wire to save himself.
Back to Loki
Thor had made his way to Loki's prison, only to see 'Loki' escaping from the chamber.
Thor screaming no, charged at his brother, trying to tackle him back into the prison, only to go straight through a hologram of Loki and not Loki's physical body.
"Are you ever not going to fall for that?" Loki asked, sarcastically as he locked Thor into the chamber that he was once 'locked' in.
Thor drew his hammer back and struck at the glass. The glass did not break like he thought it would. There was only a bit of a spiderweb crack and the chamber shook. Loki laughed at the strength of the cage.
Loki walked to the controls, "The humans think us immortal. Should we test that?"
The agent that was helping Loki grunted in pain and dropped to the floor, unconscious. Both Thor and Loki looked back to see Phil Coulson holding a phase two weapon. "Step away, please." Loki raised his hands, taking a step back. "You like this? We started working on the prototype after you sent the Destroyer. Even I don't know what it does." Phil powered the weapon up, "Do you want to find out?"
Loki didn't answer, smirking when another one of his controlled agents came from behind and stabbed Phil deep in the back. Phil dropped to his knees when the knife was removed. Thor screamed in anguish as his friend bled out, banging his fist on the glass trying to get out.
Loki slowly walked to the controls. As he opened up the tunnel, Thor backed up to the centre of the chamber. Thor braced himself when Loki hit the release button, sending Thor and the chamber plummeting back down to Earth.
To Clint
A mind-controlled Clint was stalking threw a dark walkway, trying to make it to the detention center. He turned back, drawing back to fire an arrow, only to miss Natasha. Clint tried to swing his bow at Nat, who ducked out of the way and kicked Clint in the jaw. As Clint staggered back from the blow, Natasha used some pipes for cover and slide under them and coming back up kick at Clint again. He tried to retaliate by firing another arrow, but that arrow missed it's mark.
They swung at each other, but with knowing each other for so long, they knew how the other operated. Clint managed to Natasha to grab a hold of the string on his bow, he pulled the bow back and pushed forward, causing Nat to punch herself in the face. Using the bow, he pushed her hard against the railing of the catwalk, groaning, she retaliated with a knee to his stomach. When Clint lost grip on his bow, Natasha pulled it away from him and she backhanded him. He staggered for a couple steps and pulled out a knife when he he saw that she was going to try use his weapon against him.
Clint had managed to get his bow away from Natasha and they she was fending him off with her bare hands while he still had his knife. As he swung at her with the knife, she grabbed hold of his arm and tried to dislocate it. Groaning, he managed to throw the knife to his other hand. He took another swing at her, causing her to release him and lean away to avoid the blade.
Nat tried to take a swing at Cling but he blocked her and took a hold of her arm. He pulled at her hair, straining her head back, making her neck more vulnerable. Glaring at the knife that was getting closer and closer to her face, she bite the arm the was holding the blade. Yelling in pain, he dropped the knife, Natasha swung herself around his arm. Using that momentum, she threw Clint head first into the railing.
Groaning, Clint slide down, grabbing onto the wire of the catwalk. Slowly, he staggered back onto one of his knees. Still groaning in pain, he looked up, and with some recognition in his voice he questioned, "Natasha?"
She did not trust that her partner was completely himself yet and quickly punched Clint in the face, knocking him out.
