TIME TO ACT

All seemed quiet on the Helocarrier's brig. All the prisoners, be it Avenger or now former Thunderbolt, all sat in their cells, dealing with their situation in their own way. On the one hand, Quentin Beck and the rest of his 'fired' teammates tried to think of how to get back on Norman's good side so that he could let them out.

The Avengers, on the other hand, were each going through mixed emotions in their cells. For while members like Black Panther and Ms. Marvel all sat trying to think of ways to escape while waiting for the opportunity to present itself. While others like the Wasp and Hawkeye sad in anger and sadness on how they lost their bouts and ended up being prisoners to a deranged lunatic leading a mind-controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, one imprisoned Avenger was already setting his plan into motion. And that member was the unarmored Iron Man himself, Tony Stark, who had finally pieced together all the pieces he snuck in with him and made what looked like that of a small digital camera.

Across from Tony's cell was that of the unmasked Black Panther himself, T'Challa, who clearly saw what Tony was doing, but calmly sat in almost a meditative position and remaining silent for two reasons. One, he did not want to do anything that would alarm any guards passing by. And two, for a man well who was familiar with Wakandan technology, which was years ahead of any tech on Earth, seeing Tony put such pieces together was like watching a child putting together a cup and string phone. Something that the Wakandan King found enjoyable, but such amusement was cut short when he spotted a male agent, a white male with blonde hair, carrying Tony's lunch. Thus, he closed his eyes to appear that he was actually meditating and utterly oblivious to the world.

Tony also spotted the agent, and thus quickly hides the now finished device by cupping it in his hands.

One the agent finally arrived in front of Tony's cell, the guard used one hand to type in a key combination on the panel next to the cell door, and moments later, the laser-composed door deactivated, allowing the agent to enter the cell. Once inside, the agent placed the food, which was overcooked steak and eggs down on his table, then gave Tony himself a disgusted look. "Bon appetite, Stark."

Just as Tony faced the agent, he made his move by holding the device like a gun and pointed it at the agent. Before the surprised agent could even defend himself, Tony used the tip of his right thumb to press a small button in the back of the device, which in turn, shot a tiny needle that plunged itself into the agent's exposed neck.

As for the surprised agent himself, he felt a sharp pain at first, but soon began to feel dizzy and passed into Tony's waiting arms.

After gently laying the now unconscious agent down on the bed, Tony once again pointed the device at him. This time, however, he pressed a button on the top, which caused a small flash as if he was taking a picture. Moments later, Tony soon opens a small compartment in the device, revealing two small circular pins, to which he took out. He then placed one of the pins on his collar, and the other on the collar of the slumbering agent, and after pressing the top button on the device again, it caused the pins to cover Tony and the agent in bright lights at first. Moments later, form into two holographic disguises, with Tony now taking the form of the agent, all the while the out cold agent himself now looking like a sleeping Tony.

Now with the agent's appearance, the newly disguised Tony sat up, then walked out of the cell door and approached the panel next to the door. With the device still in his right hand, Tony held it up and pressed a side button to show a blue light, which showed the agent's fingerprints of the keys he previously pressed. As such, Tony pressed those keys and moments later, closed the laser wall. Afterward, he briefly turned to T'Challa, who he knew saw him escape, and thus walked over to his cell. "T'Challa," he whispered. "If you can, tell the others to sit tight. I'll have you all free in a minute." With that declaration, Tony walked away, and with the Helocarrier's blueprints memorized, sets off to Norman's quarters.

As for T'Challa himself, he only sighed and remained in his meditative posture as he waited patiently for Tony free him and the rest Avengers. "Feel free to hurry back, Stark."
