Thirty minutes later, we were at the helicarrier, waiting in the conference room for Fury. Clint was trying to steal a doughnut, Natasha kept smacking the back of Clint's head, and Tony was balancing a spoon on his nose. Where he got the spoon from, I had no idea. I tried asking Clint what was going on on the way, but he had no idea.
I was about to say 'screw it' and grab a doughnut, when Fury barged in, making Clint jump and land five feet away, Natasha smirk, and Tony drop his spoon.
"Come on, really?" Tony complained. "I almost beat my record."
I raised an eyebrow at that.
Clint coughed, saying "You keep track?"
"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?" Tony replied.
"That's enough you two," Fury interrupted.
"So, what's up?" Tony said.
Fury settled a hard glare on him, saying,
"Not up, down. Three weeks ago, a team of operatives discovered something disturbing at Carlsbad caverns, New Mexico," he said, pulling up a holographic map.
"We've sent in four different teams, and not one came back," he continued.
"Then, one week ago, all four teams were found in critical condition near Dallas, Texas," he stated as he pointed out the spot on the map.
"How did they get from Carlsbad caverns to Dallas?" Natasha wondered.
"We don't know. When we found them they claimed that they were only in there for two days," Fury replied.
"Two days? How can someone go missing for two weeks and claim it was two days?!" Clint exclaimed.
"We don't know, and we need to. But, we have more pressing matters than mystery caves," Fury said.
"What could be more dangerous than mystery time caves?" Tony asked.
Everybody looked at him, expectantly.
Fury pinched the bridge of his nose, like he was fighting of a headache.
"A plant monster," he said.
Everyone stared at him like he was crazy.
Until Tony said, "Again! Really! What the heck is it with mutant forces of nature!"
Clint cocked an eyebrow. "Force of nature?"
Tony glared at him. "You know what I mean. And I don't know about you, but ever since Brazil I'm not to fond of plants."
I frowned, remembering Brazil. Brazil was not a good experience.
"What," Natasha said. "Your saying that there's another plant monster? I thought they were all destroyed after the lab explosion in the 60's."
"Then what was Brazil?" I questioned.
"An escapee. The scientists wanted credit for they're experiments, and smuggled out some of the mutated seeds, until they were lost in a plane crash. The seeds were scattered, and assumed destroyed."
"Well obviously, they weren't," Tony said.
"No kidding," Clint said.
"I'm just tired of dealing with it. I have a date with Pepper tonight and now I'm gonna have to cancel," Tony complained.
"Well then," I said, "all the more reason to stop it."
Tony grinned at this. "I said I was tired of dealing with it, not that I didn't wanna kick it's butt. Besides, I must have my revenge for ruining my date night."
"Well good, 'cause you leave in fifteen minutes," Fury said. "Good luck."
Fifteen minutes later, we were ready to go. I made my up up to the flight deck, where everyone was waiting.
"You ready?" Natasha asked.
"As I'll ever be," I replied.
"Great," Clint said, "cause you're driving."
He must have seen the look on my face, because he started laughing.
"Just kidding ice pop."
"Ooh, nice." I sighed as Tony came on deck, slow clapping, impressed by Clint's pun.
"I'm gonna have to use that one. And I bet that you told capsicle that he's driving?"
"Ha ha, very funny. Ya know what, I think I will drive," I said, starting towards the cockpit.
A look of terror appeared on Tony and Clint's faces as the humor drained away. They look at each other, like, 'what have we done?', before running past me into the quinnjet, Clint exclaiming, "I'm driving!" as he jumped in.
I chuckled, turning to Natasha. "You ready?" I asked.
"Born ready."
"Are we gonna need the other guy?" Bruce said.
"Hopefully not," Natasha replied. "But we'll keep in contact just in case."
"Alright everyone!" I called out. "Let's roll out."
I was surrounded by slime, I couldn't move, could barely breathe. IT sucked away my life, a little at a time. I would escape through dreams, but IT would always bring me back. I had finally found someones dream, but IT pulled me back before I had a chance to ask for help.
'I have to get help. I have to. Soon. before its too late.'
