HELLO PEOPLES! This is an extra long chapter, because I haven't posted anything in a while (cause I just started school and I needed to get back into the school habit...) so here ya go! Sorry for typos again, I really suck at those.
REVIEWS! You guys are so awesome, this, out of all my stories has the most reviews, this is great!
Junior VB: Thank you, I try my best!
JJChandler: Thanks so much! I hope he will be too. I guess you'll have to find out, huh?
Dusty Anderson: Yep! It was certainly fun to write. :)
Thanks, all, for reviewing. Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, back to the show!
*dramatic curtain sweep that I try to make look cool*
Violet looked at Wanda. "That's what you got out of that? I just heard jumbles of voices and whispers, I couldn't make any sense of it."
Wanda just shrugged. "It was a language I know, but I haven't heard it it a very long time." She said, almost sadly. "But not only do I know where the bomb is, I know where the rest of us are."
"Really?" Natasha shouted, and pushed through the front to look at Wanda. But instead of looking happy, Wanda looked sad.
Natasha was immediately concerned. "What happened? What's wrong?"
"The bomb is underneath a red brick building a block away from the Avengers tower. We are down to twenty minutes. And the rest of our team, is underneath the Empire State building."
Mr. Incredible swung Jack-Jack around on top of his shoulder, and started jogging in place. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Wanda held up a hand, and started talking softly. "I didn't finish." She shut her eyes for a moment, gathering information from her mind to share with the group. "They are buried far underneath the building, but not to far. We would be able to reach them, but they don't have long. A gas, called, chlorine gas, I think, is filling the room. It is a small room, and it is up to the waist of all the adults."
"How can you tell all of that?" Cap asked, looking confused.
"It's," Wanda paused, looking for the word. "Complicated. I hear everyone's voices, and then I have to piece those together to make the story."
"Ok, well let's get moving." Natasha said, eager to get going. "Stark, Banner, new intel. Move about a block down from 200 Park Avenue. There's a red brick house, sweep that. Bomb should be there. If you find it, disable it. Be careful, it's down to about twenty minutes." She called out over comms. "Pietro, run over to the Empire State Building. Look for interferences in the ground, cracks, piles of loose dirt. That's where our team is. We're on our way to you."
Stark and Pietro both replied back with a "copy that."
Natasha turned to the group she was with. "Let's go."
Wanda was right, the gas was getting higher and higher. Dash had woken up, but everyone else had started coughing, and sucking in deep breaths, only to cough more. Dash couldn't stand anymore, otherwise the gas would be over his head.
"Let me take the boy." Thor's voice thundered out between coughs. He picked up Dash and put him on his shoulders, above the gas.
"We need a way out of here!" Clint was pacing back and forth, running options through his head, but coming up with nothing. He leaned up against the wall, and took a minute, coughing his lungs out.
"Lucius, can you freeze the gas? Is that something that you can do?"
Frozone shook his head. "No. There's not enough oxygen in here. Normally, water can help get rid of the gas, but there is too much of the gas here."
"Thor, can you use your hammer and make wind, trapping all the gas in one place?"
Thor thought for a moment, but frowned. "No. Not without catching everyone in the gust."
Clint rubbed his hands over his face and blew a raspberry. He couldn't think of anything. They weren't going to get out, they were going to get trapped in here. Sudden coughing caught his attention. Mrs. Incredible clutched her throat, and fell forward, disappearing into the gas.
Dash called out "Mom!" the same time Lucius said "Helen!" Frozone raced forward and pulled her up. The yellow gas slowly turned to a blackish-blue color as it got higher. The Underminers voice rang out from a speaker somewhere in the room.
"Your friends are getting close, too close. So, I've hoped you enjoyed your stay, because this new gas is my special creation, and it will kill you in minutes. Good luck!" The voice ended with laughter on the end of it, and everyone looked around, scared. Slowly and surely, everyone started to cough and hack, hands holding their mouths and throats.
Hulk beat Stark to the building, by seconds.
"Seriously big guy. Can't you let me win at least once?" Commenting on how often Stark lost these races, he flew to the ground and stepped out of the suit. Hulk just grunted and start walking around the room.
"Sentry mode." He commanded, and the suit closed back up by itself and took guard. "Ok. Let's get cracking."
He found the timer, a large clock, which the numbers read that they had fifteen minutes left. Stark got down onto his knees and cracked his knuckles. Gently he pulled the face off the bomb, where the timer was, but kept the wire connected so he didn't stop the timer. Inside was a mess of wires and trip wires, designed to explode when touched. Stark peered inside, poking where he could trying to get a feel of the inside.
Tony got up, and slowly got into Hulk's view. "Hey, I need Bruce. I know, I'm not Romanoff, i can't do poems or crap, but I need Banner on this. There needs to be two sets of hands." Hulk stared at him, and held out his huge green hands.
Tony chuckled. "No, big guy. Human hands. I need Bruce." There was no response, no movement, just the sounds of Hulk's heavy breathing. "Please?"
As the other part of the team reached the Empire state building, they saw a hole in the ground. Pietro had gotten a shovel, and was shoveling at almost the speed he could run. The ground was hard, and he needed the make the hole big enough to fit everyone, so it was about ten feet deep.
"Hop on down. There are more shovels down here!" Pietro called from the bottom of the pit. Mr. Incredible and Cap jumped, landing easily on their feet. Natasha also jumped down, but rolled once she hit the ground to lessen the impact on her legs. Wanda and Violet didn't jump at all, they used their powers to levitate down. They all grabbed a shovel and started digging frantically.
"Anybody have any idea how deep it will be?" Cap asked, wiping a gloved hand against his brow.
Natasha shook her head. "No. They are moles, so probably pretty far down." And it was silent once again, everyone lost in thoughts of trying to reach their friends and family.
Everyone was choking. The gas was now up to the necks of all the men. It had passed Mrs. Incredible's head a while ago, so she was being held up by Frozone. Dash was up on Thor's shoulders, the farthest away from the gas. But being the smallest, he was the most affected. A few minutes after, he was passed out on Thor, his body limp.
"No! Dash! Wake up!" Mrs. Incredible choked out, before gasping for breath, and eyes rolling back into her head.
"I need to find a way out!" Clint thought frantically. Dash and Helen were no use, and Lucius was about to go. He staggered towards the door, pounding on it as hard as he could, before running out of breath. He pounding for a few more seconds as black dots clouded his vision, before falling to the ground.
Thor whipped his head around, frantically searching for his comrades. They had all fallen to the ground. He quickly picked up all of them, and tried to hold them above the gas as long as he could. Moving all of them to one of his arms, he stumbled over to the door and pounded on it with one hand, his energy quickly fading.
"I. Am. Thor. Son. Of. Odin. I. Will. Not. Be. Taken. Down. By. Mortal. Gas." He thought to himself, enunciating each word in his head. But soon, the gas overtook him, and he collapsed to the ground, everyone else surrounding them. The gas had just reached the ceiling.
Mr. Incredible grew more and more worried by the second. They were digging as fast as they could, but it wasn't fast enough. He took a short pause to wipe his forehead, and saw his daughter leaning against her shovel, not digging.
"Vi! Come on, we need more help." He called out, but Violet ignored him.
"I think I have an idea." She said quietly. "Everyone move out of the center!" She yelled. "Please." She added as an afterthought. After they all moved, she took a deep breath, and cleared her mind. She didn't think about the fact that she could lose her mother and her brother if she didn't go fast enough. She didn't think about how the Avengers have their friends down there. She didn't think about Frozone. She definitely didn't think about the bomb that could level the city. As her mind emptied, she used her powers to dig up huge clumps of dirt, raising them up and out of the whole. Her arms shook and she squeezed her eyes shut in concentration with especially big clumps. Soon, she was taking out as much dirt as all of them could dig in minutes, in a couple of seconds.
Wanda caught on to what she was doing and joined in. It alternated, when Violet would bring dirt to the pile on the top, Wanda would grab her pile and put it up there. The rest of the group cheered, they were actually getting somewhere.
In a matter of seconds, they reached a heavy metal door. Wanda and Violet sat back in exhaustion, tired, but happy. Using the last of their energy for the moment, they used some of the dirt to create little stairs for the superheroes to reach the door.
Everyone else ran down the steps, Cap in the lead. When the reached the door, there was a heavy metal bolt on the door. Cap tried to hit it with his shield a couple of times, but it didn't budge.
"I got it." Mr. Incredible said, stepping forward. He grabbed the lock and crushed it, pulling it from the handle. Everyone cheered, and Jack-Jack giggled and clapped his hands from his spot next to Violet. Mr. Incredible pulled open the door, and was met with a face-full of gas.
"Everyone get back!" Natasha screamed, and everyone ran for the dirt walls, pressing their faces into it, trying to avoid the gas.
Pietro took a deep breath of clean air and ran forward, moving his arms in fast circles, propelling the gas up and into the air, away from everyone.
"That was in there?" Cap asked, worried. Once the yellow-black gas cleared, the next problem was shown. A piled of super heroes, motionless on the ground.
Bum-badada-bum-bum-bum! (I don't know what that was I just wanted to write it...)
