He looked around, with a bit of pink glitter in his hair. His daughter must have still been the equivalent of a Midgardian teenager or something, Widow mused, looking at Pointbreak's glittering flowing locks. [color=fff79a]"The good news is that Klara managed to locate Sterns - yet the bitter truth is that he is using the alignment to shield himself from detection. I believe him to be in Greenwich...When the nine realms are perfectly in alignment, the increased dimensional energy can power his contraption and allow him to become the green beast."[/color] Banner would have been impressed with Thor's scientific knowhow, had it not been for the word [i]beast.[/i] The Hulk had begun as his imaginary friend, protecting him in childhood, and now it labeled him as a monster. He shoved his hands into his pockets and Widow gave him a sympathetic look. She knew what it was like to be labeled as something other than human. SHIELD had sent her closest friend to kill her - only Clint was able to see that she could be much more than a killer. [color=9e0039]"Since when did you have a PhD in astrophysics?"[/color] Natasha asked, reworking an algorithm on her computer to search just for that location. [color=fff79a]"Well, you see, the plan is hardly original. The Dark Elves attempted something back when I was a child that was similar that hinged on the convergence... To be honest, the center point where all the nine realms come to meet should really just be constantly guarded whenever it's coming near, but the All Father - as much as I respect him - has failed to do so."[/color] [color=8dc73f]"Tony, how fast can you get us to England?"[/color] Banner muttered, looking at the ground. He wanted to kill Sterns - but didn't that just confirm that he really was a monster? Guin put her laptop away in her room and had come back to the open area, mostly to check on Lance but she overheard talk of going to England. [color=#cc33ff]"England? Fun! Can I come, Dad?"[/color] [color=ed145b]"No!"[/color] Pepper interjected instantly.
