Battle Nurses!
Harry leaned back in the seat as he started to bring up the team's vitals as, he then looked over towards Bonnie.
"So you and Agent Flynn a thing now?" Harry asked as he rubbed the back of his neck looking over towards the nearby window seeing the Stark Industries logo of the hangar that they were in and shook his head slightly.
"What?" Bonnie said, setting down two energy drinks in between them on the console. She had prepped the laboratory as best as she could for any emergency medical procedures and she had her comm dialed in to listen on all available frequencies.
"Oh, that. No, we're not a thing," Bonnie said, looking at the readouts on the screen. There wasn't anything abnormal - a few elevated pulses but that was normal for this sort of thing. Everyone was nervous. She then tapped the dog tags she wore around her neck - they had belonged to her deceased husband, James. He had been a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent too, working in Operations.
Harry reached over and opened the engery drink can and started to take a sip from it, he then looked over at Bonnie as she answered his question.
"Well he kissed ya so he obviously does like you." Harry said as he started to bring up the communications, managing to find the channel HYDRA was using.
"So, happen to know any Morse Code by any chance?" Harry could tell what it was, but never had the time nor the chance to really learn it.
Bonnie shook her head.
"I was supposed to take a seminar on it sophomore year at Sci-Tech, but the professor ended up canceling it," she said.
"However, I have two ideas on how we can get around this. First one is that maybe there's a program that'll decipher it for us on the server," Bonnie suggested.
"And all else fails... WikiHow can be shockingly helpful at times," she said, pulling up Google and typing in
Understand Morse Code. She figured Harry would have the easiest time getting the program from the server if it existed, he was from Communications after all.
"Something I should have taken while in the academy as well, but i'll see if there is a program of some kind." Harry said, as he started to search through some of the programs that they had, doing everything that he could think of and even rewording what he was looking for before setting it down.
"Looks like we have to use Google, since it has just about everything." "Fantastic - if this goes horribly, we'll just have to give them only two stars," Bonnie said, pulling up the article on WikiHow. She read through the instructions and then started explaining them to Harry. It didn't seem too hard - they just needed to write down the dots and dashes, and then match them up in order to read the message.
"A half star would be a better response." Harry said, as he took out a pen and paper and started to look at the google page as well, writing down what he could at least understand.
"What I am getting right now. 'FENRIS, RESPOND. ASSET IS ROGUE.'." Harry said, as he looked over towards Bonnie.
"Fenris..." Bonnie thought for a moment.
"Did you go to Professor Kettleburn's seminar on enhanced terrorism last summer?" Bonnie asked Harry, putting in a quick search into the S.H.I.E.L.D. files. She pulled up information on Andrea and Andreas Von Strucker. Their family owned Creed Financial, but the twin terrorists themselves had died in the 80's.
"Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver have nothing on Fenris... I hope it's just a codename they're using for the baron. If not... We could be in trouble." "Yes I did, the twins have a pretty disturbing power when they are together." Harry said, as he started to bring up all of the camera feeds throughout the facility. "Lets just hope that they didn't clone them or anything." Harry said seeing the teams and then the silver blur on a few of the screens.
"Luminous is on the move by the looks of it." Bonnie grimaced slightly.
"I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that not very many mutant siblings know how to combine their powers like that..." She then saw the silver blur as well.
"Can you pinpoint her location? So we can route the Luminous team to her?" Harry sat there as he continued to watch the cameras the silver blur was going way to fast for him to track.
“She’s going way to fast right now for me to even see, unless there was a way to slow her down from here.” "...Is there any way you can turn the AC on full blast in the building?" Bonnie suggested. The metabolism of speedsters made it so that way they didn't do well in the cold - though Bonnie wasn't too sure whether she believed that. She more believed that they just had a harder time accelerating their molecules and atoms as temperatures dropped.
"Maybe we can slow her down a bit." ”I’ll see if I can try to.” Harry said as he started to bring up a hacking program and tried to get into the buildings climate control. Harry groaned loudly as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, getting locked out.
”Can’t really from here.” "Well that's annoying then," Bonnie said, feeling a bit frustrated. She wanted to be able to help the team more than they currently were.
"Well i'm up for other ideas." Harry said, knowing the same feeling as well as he looked up at the screen again, as he tried to think of something else.
"Hey kids, did you miss me?" Agent Kennedy said, as he walked into view. He was in his rock form and most of his damage had been healed. Tempest and Bonnie had done too good of a job healing him. Bonnie went to hit the distress signal, only for Kennedy to grab her arm.
"Both of you, out of the seats, now," he said, before looking at Harry.
"Or I'll turn you into statues." Harry jumped slightly when he heard Agent Kennedy's voice as he quickly turned and came into view, he was about to get up when Bonnie tried to hit the distress signal, only to be grabbed by him.
"Alright, alright." Harry said, as he stood up holding his hands up in the air, and looked towards him.
"Just don't Medusa us or anything, or take us to Aunty Em's Gnome Emporium." "What?" Jim asked, shaking his head slightly. His charismatic and charming personality was largely gone. It had been a manipulative act apparently - either that or he was just incredibly stressed. He then prodded Harry away from the console, forcing Bonnie backwards as well.
"You won't get away with this," Bonnie couldn't help but say, despite how cliché it was. Jim chuckled slightly, yanking the dog tags off of Bonnie's neck.
"I miss James," Jim said, before he turned the dog tags to stone and crushed them in his grip. He let the gravel drop to the ground and tears welled up in Bonnie's eyes.
"Asshole," she cursed at him.
"What? You've never read the books before? You should read them, they are pretty good." Harry asked, as he felt Kennedy prodding his back and simply moved forward looking over at Bonnie for a moment as he took the dog tags off of her neck and crushed them easily once they were stone. Feeling bad for Bonnie, as he thought of ways to distract him.
"I mean you can watch the two movies, but they are complete and utter shit. So do they call you Medusa in HYDRA? If so that is a pretty lame name." Jim looked at Harry, shaking his head slightly. Bits of dust hit the ground from the motion. Rock heads weren't exactly supposed to move like that.
"We don't pick stupid names like the Avengers - it's honestly not that different from S.H.I.E.L.D. We're just willing to do what it takes to help people," Jim said, thinking of his nephew for a moment. Something about what Jim said gave Bonnie an idea. She remembered the circumstances of how he had gotten his abilities - he was given Isotope E during a classified mission in Serbia.
He was a mutate. There were terrigen crystals on the Bus, right? There had to be some in research. She then remembered with a jolt seeing a box in the lab. If they could expose Kennedy to those crystals, his rock form wouldn't be able to save him. They were toxic to anyone but inhumans.
"Too bad you're a coward," Bonnie said, spitting at Jim.
"So, helping people and being former Nazis helps people and betraying people who are suppose to be your friends? Or are you still planning World War Three. And do you all still scream Hail HYDRA?" Harry asked, he wasn't liking Kennedy at all, as he continued to move.
Jim smacked Bonnie across the face, cutting her cheek. He then threw her into Harry, sending them both sprawling to the ground like bowling pins. However, they were both practically near the exit and Bonnie saw their chance.
"Lab - Terrigen," Bonnie whispered to Harry, as she jumped to her feet and took off at a run, zigzagging as she went for cover.
Harry turned around as he watched him smack Bonnie across the face, wincing slightly as he felt Bonnie being thrown onto him and knocked him down onto the floor. Groaning slightly, as he rolled over onto his side looking over at Bonnie as she whispered to him, he wasn't sure what Terrigen would do but she was the medical expert. Harry simply nodded as he got up as quickly as he could and made a straight run towards the lab following right behind her eventually making it to the lab.
"We can't touch them directly," Bonnie mumbled. They didn't have a lot of time. They'd need to find something - a glove maybe - so that way they could avoid skin contact with the crystals. And then they'd need to make sure only Kennedy was hit with it and not them.
"Can you get it? I'll hold him off," Bonnie said quickly. She grabbed the gravity belt she had seen before and put it on, hitting the dial and her feet drifted off of the ground.
Just in time, Jim burst into the lab, completely livid.
"A Periodic Table won't save you." "No touching the crystal got it.." Harry said as he started to search around the lab for a pair of gloves, opening drawers and cabinets groaning loudly as he couldn't find one at all. He watched Bonnie grabbing one of the antigravity belts that were there, seeing Kennedy bursting through the lab.
"Fuck it." Harry said to himself as he took off his shirt and opened up the case of Terrigen crystals he started to wrap it around in his shirt and threw it directly towards Kennedy, feeling part of the crystal touching his arm ever so slightly as it left his hand.
Harry's hand instantly hardened up, looking like solid concrete. It was spreading up his arm and if he didn't act soon, it would cover his entire body and he would die. Terrigen crystals were toxic to humans, mutates, and mutants. But Bonnie's eyes followed the arc of the crystal from above, seeing it hit Kennedy. By reflex, the HYDRA agent caught the projectile and started at it for a moment. His skin seemed to ripple, attempting to stay in the rock form but he was forced out of it.
Back in the body of a normal man, the crystal transformed Kennedy's body rapidly, until he collapsed to the ground in a pile of ash, dead. The crystal dropped to the ground and by some miracle, it didn't shatter. It rolled around and stopped once it hit a cabinet, just lying there.
"Damn it, Harry, hold on, this is going to hurt!" Bonnie cursed, undoing the belt. She dropped to the ground and glanced around, trying to locate a bone saw. Instead, she found something better.
It was essentially a knife sized lightsaber.
"What's your favorite color?" Bonnie asked, kneeling down next to him.
Harry stared down at his left hand, seeing it quickly starting to turn into a rock like substance he wasn't even sure what to do looking over towards Bonnie, getting really nervous now. He looked at the pile of ash that was now Kennedy, he really didn't want to become like that. Watching Bonnie grabbing what looked like a knife, feeling the weird sensation continue.
"Uh, green I guess? Just do it quick." Harry said.
Once Harry told her his favorite color, Bonnie sliced through him with the mini lightsaber, severing his left hand from the rest of his body. The hand hit the ground and shattered into a thousand pieces, and since it was a lightsaber of sorts she cut it off with, the wound instantly cauterized. Bonnie let out a slight sigh of relief.
"Let's get you some morphine," she told Harry, getting up and going to find what painkillers they had on hand.
The moment the lightsaber knife cut into his left hand Harry let out an extremely loud scream and yell of pain, and started to curse like a really bad drunken sailor. He looked down at the burnt off stump now, the entire left side of his body felt like it was on fire he felt his legs shaking rather badly.
"Beer would be good to.." Harry said between heavy breathes he felt like he wanted to vomit all over the place as well.
"Alcohol thins the blood - we want to make sure that your blood clots normally... Though admittedly, that isn't as much of a concern since the wound was cauterized," Bonnie said, giving him some morphine for the pain.
"I'll radio in, let the others know... Just rest, okay?"
