[color=#ffffff]The ringing in Sue Storm's ears subsided just in time to hear the words leave Creel's mouth. She had to suppress a smile as she used the back of her hand to wipe her bloody nose. Bigger and badder men than Carl "Crusher" Creel had claimed invincibility and been proven wrong – and now that Sue had her bearings back, she was intent on showing Creel why.[/color]

[color=#ffffff]Her bloodied hand reached out towards the Absorbing Man and sent constructs wrapping around his limbs.[/color][color=#9fc5e8] "You talk too much."[/color]

[color=#ffffff]One wrapped around his forearm, restricting him to only one arm to try to fend Thor's punches away with, whilst another knocked Creel to one knee. He struggled pitifully against the constructs while trying to battle with the Asgardian – despite it becoming more difficult with every passing second.[/color]

[color=#ffffff]The vibranium absorbed most of the damage that Thor dealt out with his hands but without any means of releasing it, the energy was useless to Creel. He tugged and jolted angrily, desperate to try to free himself from Sue's grasps, but finally found himself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blows the God of Thunder was dolling out. His last free leg was strapped down by another hard-light construct, leaving only one free arm to flail in Thor's direction in vain.[/color]

[color=#9fc5e8]"Give it up,"[/color][color=#ffffff] Sue said triumphantly as she approached the two of them. [/color][color=#9fc5e8]"You're beaten, Creel. Not for the [i]first[/i] time from the sound of things."[/color]

[color=#ffffff]A flash of shock ran through Sue as she felt the spit hit her in the face. [/color][b][color=#2f4f4f]"Fuck you, cunt."[/color][/b]

[color=#ffffff]As a last, desperate attempt at escaping, Creel's vibranium-coated body melted away and suddenly took on the form of the tarmac beneath him. Sue, whose cheeks were reddened with rage, saw the change too late to stop Thor from striking out on her behalf – and the Absorbing Man broke into a dozen or so pieces and fell apart on the ground. Amid the ground-up tarmac, Sue spotted the piece of metal that had gifted Creel his powers.[/color]

[color=#9fc5e8]"Uh-uh," [/color][color=#ffffff]she muttered under her breath as she lifted it from the ground. [/color][color=#9fc5e8]"We're not going through this all over again."[/color]

[color=#ffffff]By the time she had pocketed it, Creel had reformed. His sweaty, pallid skin was almost ghost-like. He writhed around in exhaustion, clearly drained by the exertion of wielding an abnormal degree of strength. How he acquired a piece of the world's rarest metal was the real question.[/color]

[color=#ffffff]Sue glanced towards Thor with a friendly smile. He was young – younger than the Thor that Sue had met on a handful of occasions on her Earth – but appeared no less majestic or powerful. The long, flowing blonde locks and the wing-tipped cap had gone but in its place was armour the likes of which Sue had never seen – and an axe that looked twice as imposing as Mjolnir.[/color]

[color=#ffffff]The Invisible Woman directed the Asgardian towards the sprawled Carl Creel with a playful grin. [/color][color=#9fc5e8]"Would you mind doing the honours, Thor?"[/color]
