[b]Triskelion, Washington DC[/b]

Sue’s eyes widened as Creel reached a hand towards the axe buried in his chest. At the last moment a forcefield wrapped itself around the Absorbing Man’s hand and pried it away from the axe. There was minimal resistance from Creel – whose sickly state was clear to see despite his skin being wrapped in a copper coating. Once she was sure Creel’s hand was free, Sue nodded to Thor to remove the axe from his chest.

She knelt down beside Creel with a look part-satisfaction, part-disgust. [color=#9fc5e8]“I think you’ve done enough damage for one evening, don’t you?”[/color]

The smouldering fire in the side of the Triskelion had all but been put out. The SHIELD agents that Creel had despatched with ruthless efficiency had beaten an escape away from the fighting and were getting medical attention. Most importantly, Creel had been brought to heel. Though the true cost of his rampage was still unbeknownst to them.

Certain that a lifetime of imprisonment awaited Creel, Sue shot him one last disdainful look. [color=#9fc5e8]“You’re never going to hurt anyone ever again.”[/color]

Thor nodded determinedly beside Sue. She offered him a collegiate smile but he did not return it. He strode towards Creel with eyes fixed on his downed opponent. The flecks of blood across the God of Thunder’s face only heightened the unease that Sue felt. Before she knew it, Thor was brandishing the bloody axe of his high above his head, ready to lower it on Creel, with a murderous look on his face. 

The first strike was aimed directly for the centre of Creel’s skull. It would have split it open if not for a last-second intervention from Sue. She redirected Thor’s swing and ensured that the blade in his hand landed firmly in the tarmac.

[color=#9fc5e8]“What are you doing?”[/color] Sue shouted to him. [color=#9fc5e8]“We [i]don’t[/i] do tha-”[/color]

The words had barely left Sue’s mouth when she felt Thor’s rage-filled gaze turn towards her instead. With one tug of his muscular arms, the Asgardian yanked the axe free from the ground and started towards Sue. She backed away, shocked by the sudden display of malice, and lifted a hand in front of her by way of defence.

Since drawing Creel’s blood Thor’s eyes, once a piercing blue, had reddened. She had not noticed it at first but it was clear as day now that he was bearing down on her with his axe. It was raised well above his head, hands trembling almost with hostile intent, when the sudden burst of guns cocking caught Sue’s attentions.

[b][color=#7b68ee]“Stand down, Thor.”[/color][/b] A dark-skinned SHIELD agent stepped through the crowd to appeal to the Asgardian. [b][color=#7b68ee]“This is [i]not [/i]who you are.”[/color][/b]

Sue nodded her head in agreement as her blue eyes rested on the bloody axe in Thor’s hands. [color=#9fc5e8]“She’s right.”[/color]

A faint growl escaped from Thor’s lips, as if some part of him was fighting back the rage, and slowly his reddened eyes became blue again. He lowered the axe from above his head, letting it slide down onto the ground, and the SHIELD agents came sprinting across the tarmac towards Creel. One slapped a power dampener around the Absorbing Man’s neck – rendering him flesh and blood once again – while several others lifted him from the ground and onto a transport vehicle.

Slightly shaken up by Thor’s sudden change in personality, Sue looked towards the Asgardian. [color=#9fc5e8]“I think there's something [i]wrong[/i] with that axe.”[/color]
