Hey guys, I'm back, finally. It's been super crazy, life is super crazy right now, school has lots of work, so I haven't been able to do anything. But for now, here is the next chapter! I will try to finish this out soon (I know I said that before, but I'm actually going to try to do it this weekend...)
For now, REVIEWS! You guys are so awesome, so many reviews I love it!
Disneyheart3: It's totally cool man, you gotta meet Mel Brooks! That is so cool! I hope you enjoyed it!
Jestalnaker94000: That's cool! I haven't played the Incredible Hulk video game but that sounds cool. I did, I checked out the authors you recommended, and I read their stories, they were awesome! There are so many talented people out here.
JJChandler: Maybe I can make that happen? ;)
Capsicle: I really glad you liked it! I'll try to finish up soon!
Thank you all for reviewing! I hope you enjoy!
Tony Stark was getting nervous. He had brought Wanda up and into the tower, with all the gas in a red bubble of Wanda's power. Taking a sample of the gas, he put it inside a gas chromatography–mass spectrometer machine, to test the different substances in the gas. When the test was completed, JARVIS alerted Tony of the results.
"What do you go for me buddy?" He asked, turning from the science papers he was reading.
"The gas appears to be 68% composed of chlorine gas, causing the probably lung damage. The other 32% appears to have the chemical compound of a gas called Gaxol."
"Gaxol? Gaxol? No, please, anytHING BUT GAXOL!" Tony paused for a moment. "What's gaxol?"
"I, don't know. There is no record of it in any databases anywhere. F6Pb15H8, is the main chemical compound inside, with some traces of other element. It is most probably a man-made gas. There is no current antidote for it." His AI replied.
"Great. Just great." Tony muttered, rubbing his hands over his face. "Ok, JARVIS, take every known antidote and run a simulation, try to see if there is any possible combination that could work, or at least slow the process.
The AI hesitated. "But sir, wouldn't that take too much time, we don't-" Tony cut JARVIS off.
"I know we don't have time." He took a deep breath. "I just need to do, something."
Wanda spoke up from her seat in the back of the lab. "Do you more help? I can do something." Tony looked at the young girl and smiled. She was always thinking of helping others.
"No, Wanda, I'm good. You can go help the others when they get here. I'm sure Romanoff would love some relief." She nodded and left the lab.
Cap smoothly set the Quinjet next to the massive hole they dug, and hit the button to open the back. Tony gave confusing orders, to go get the Quinjet, but also be at the hole at the same time, so he was confused, but he grabbed the Quinjet first. That seemed to make sense. He thought about what they had just been through. They each fought their own set of Miners in different parts of town. Then everyone came together and fought the Underminer, who really wasn't the Underminer. After being distracted, the real Underminer took some of their teammates, while also setting a bomb that almost blew up the city. Now, the city was safe for now, but their teammates and friends are on the verge of dying, and he couldn't do anything about it.
This is the thing Steve hated most. Having a growing situation, but being useless to stop it. For right now, he just hoped that when he got back with everyone else, Tony had the antidote.
Just as Mr. Incredible came into the jet with his wife, Cap had set out the first of the cots.
He had taken some extra ones to make it more comfortable. As quickly as they dared, everyone piled on the quinjet, with Natasha bringing in Clint last.
"All set?" Cap called from his seat at the front. Natasha gave him a grim smile and a thumbs up.
Cap carefully pulled back the control stick and the Quinjet slowly rose into the air. He piloted carefully, being as gentle as possible, but he was not perfect, he did not have a great track record with planes. Within a matter of minutes, the Quinjet pulled into the landing at the Avengers Tower. The three of them carried people out of the Quinjet, into cots and bed that were waiting in Stark's lab.
Cap took Lucius first, but stayed to talk to Tony as Bob and Natasha grabbed the rest of their friends and made them comfortable. "How is it coming along?" He asked quietly
Tony sighed and shook his head. "Not well. I have JARVIS testing simulations for the antidote, but nothing seems to be working.
Cap thought for a moment. "How about Cho? Could you reach her? Would she make it in time?" Tony shook his head again.
"It's about three in the morning there, by the time we woke her up, told her about the situation, and her getting her, I think it would be too late. Our best bet right now is it let JARVIS run simulations and wait for Banner to get here."
"You called me?" Banner said, walking into the lab. He had on new, not-ripped-by-Hulk- clothes. He joined the two of them, with some thoughts of his own.
"I was thinking about your idea, Cap, but I agree with Tony. It would take too long. I did have another Doctor in mind. He would probably be able to help out, I can contact him. For now, maybe try adding some-" He was interrupted by a shout across the room from Natasha. They all turned around to see Natasha performing CPR on Dash again. It was tense for a couple moments, but he started to breathe once again.
"Stark, I know you're trying to figure out what to do, but for now, can we make sure their stable? Like maybe some oxygen masks so they can actually breath, and I don't have to keep giving them CPR? Please?" Natasha said, frustrated and irritated.
Tony didn't take his chances. "Yes ma'am." He motioned Banner to come over and help, so they pulled out five machines and hooked them up next to each bed.
"This is a cool machine, something I'm glad I bought. You can hook it up to the breathing mask, and it will measure what comes out in the exhale. It should be a mix of oxygen and carbon dioxide, but maybe with our luck, some of this mystery gas is coming out as well." Tony explained, as everyone looked on.
Everyone waited with baited breath as he hooked it up to Dash's breathing mask. Everything became silent. You could hear the ragged breathing of the hero's lying unconscious. The impatient and nervous tapping of Pietro's foot. The sniffling coming from Mr. Incredible and Violet as they watched their friends and family.
A loud beep alerted them that the results came in.
"16% oxygen, 4% carbon, some water vapor, and… about 2% of that is the gas he created, uh, Gaxol." Tony read from the machine. "That's, ok. Not enough of it is coming out to actually make a difference, but at least it's something."
Everyone sighed, disappointed in the results, except for Banner. He stayed silent, thinking about something. He spoke up a minute later. "Have you tried some gamma radiation? It's dangerous normally for the body, but it can kill dangerous cells. Maybe make some into a gas form, let them breathe it into the lungs?" He suggested.
Tony thought about it for a moment. "That could work, but I think the gamma cells would kill other cells in the lungs, along with the gaxol ones, which could be bad. It's a chance, but I don't know if it would work, or how much damage it would cause."
Cap added into the conversation. "Dr. Banner, didn't you say you had a friend you could call over?"
Banner nodded. "Yeah, I'll do that. He should get here relatively fast. His methods are sometimes, questionable, but they give results." He pulled out his phone and walked out of the lab, making the call.
Meanwhile, Tony went through, hooking up the machine to everyone's breathing masks, and they all read the same, only small amounts of Gaxol coming out.
Tony hoped that whoever Bruce was calling got here soon, because he didn't know how much time was left.
Ok, so I literally did this chapter late last night, so I went over it, but its also still early in the morning, so I have no clue how good/bad the grammar is. Idk, maybe tired me is actually like, uh, Idk, a really good editor. But I'm guessing not. So please excuse my spelling and mistakes, those come alot.
So I hoped you enjoyed it, oh, and by the way, that whole thing with the Gaxol, I don't know how scientifically "right" it is, because I made it up. If you look it up, you get a Pharmaceutical in India, and some board game or something.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE NAME GAXOL!
I forgot I probably had to put that in there somewhere. So yeah, all the chemical equations, all that crap is me making up something to make the situation more dangerous. But that machine, the gas chromatography–mass spectrometer machine, is a real machine, and it really does test the chemicals in stuff.
Ok so hopefully I can post the next chapter today too, just depends on what we are doing.
Also, Jestalnaker94000, I think you might like this next one. ;)
Thanks guys, please read and review!
