Wasp had held on tightly to Booster's hair as he flew them out of the facility, taking off to hover by his shoulder and growing back to standard 8-inch operating size once they'd reached solid ground. She gasped and pulled a face as she saw the mummy-like man and the damage he'd done to Rudy's arm, raising her hands palms-forward.
"Eww... yeah, no way I'm punching that." She replied, her gauntlets flashing as she added a burst of stinger blasts to Booster's shot.

As Rocket waited, he suddenly got hit with a new, extremely overbearing smell. It was Holy magic, similar to what he got off from Moon Knight. Though while the undead warrior's scent was a light, airy, almost incense like smell, this new one was a spicy, heavy, hearty smell that was in your face and would be more pleasant if not for the near suffocating accents of ozone. It was like a bowl of assorted heavy spices being roasted over an electrical fire.
The raccoon got up and followed his nose, leading him back to Squirrel Girl and apparently some new girl. "Hello, who are - " then he smelled a newer scent. "Someone else is in here....." he said as he pulled out his pistol.

When Mary thought that nothing could be as cute as Tippy Toe, Rocket Raccoon arrived to prove her wrong.
"Aww, well look at you little fella!, you are so cute!"Mary said giggling with excitement. "You always have the cutest companions, don't you?" Mary said to Squirrel girl with a smile, before approaching Rocket as she would attempt to "pet" him. "And he can talk! My name is Mary Marvel ,little guy, and I am a superhero, what's your name?" she told him in a sweet tone, before she reacted with surprise when the , adorable, "Raccoon" took out a gun, to show he wasn't as harmless as he initially seemed to be.

Forgiveness is beyond justice, faith is superior than hope, redemption is better than perfection and love is greater than them all.Caught slightly off guard by the shots to the face, the revenant rocket backward slightly, then fell forward and lunged at Booster, huffing a cloud of red dust. The first swipe failed, but the thing then aimed a punch at his gut. The punch hit five times harder than what such a malnourished derelict should have been able to throw.
The wind whistled here and there, as something quickly whipped through the shadows. One of the lights rocked, and bits and pieces vanished off the shelves. There was a sudden clatter, as a box of tech clattered to the floor. The cloak doubled back to try and swipe it away.
As the team continued their debate, the doctor reached a portrait of himself in a stately pose, and rolled it to one side like a conservatory door. He lead the group through a dark door, down a spiral staircase lit with flaming torches, and towards the faint humming sound of powerful technology.
Alleyway
"Woah!" Wasp darted upwards as the creature charged, stingers flaring again as she fired again. "OK, he's tougher than he looks, I'll give him that!"
The 8-inch girl kept up a constant barrage of energy blasts, circling around behind the thing as it swiped at Booster.
Booster's suit took the brunt of the blow, but it still felt like getting hit in the stomach with a baseball bat. The real issue, he felt as he crashed into a dumpster, was whatever that red dust was. He struggled to take to the air as he hacked and coughed, clearing out his lungs, while Skeets zipped all around the enemy, tazing him repeatedly in the face and the back of the neck.
My various fanfics.Rocket's ears perked as he scanned his surroundings, picking the various movements of the strange shadows. He then whipped around and fired upon the cloak as it was trying to go for the spilled tech.

"Wait! Mary told Rocket. He might be scared, or even be friendly this is a dark place after all, I think we should give him the chance to talk before attacking.'" Mary told Rocket in a worried tone while she went in front of his line of fire in an attempt to stop him as she hoped rocket wouldn't fire through her.
"We are friends, we don't want to hurt you." Mary told to the clocked figure in an attempt to have him come out peacefully. She then walked towards the clocked figure slowly.

Forgiveness is beyond justice, faith is superior than hope, redemption is better than perfection and love is greater than them all.Being the expert marksman he was, Rocket shot at the cloaked being almost immediately upon pointing it. When Mary jumped in front of him, she tanked the shot. However, thanks to her transformation, the shot harmlessly bounced off of her.
".....well that's new," Rocket commented on Mary's hardiness.
"Well before, I did it with reckless abandon. Now I can't control myself!" ~ Jesse Cox, 2014"Not just that." Raze added. "Freddy, punch any wall that comes into our view. I think I heard the cops, and I've already said it three times that we need to come up with our own way out, rather than relying on this place's bizarre layout." He looked around. "Who the hell designed this, anyway? Seems more like a Halloween maze than a prison."
Tony just let the others talk, frowning as he started to hear the sounds of some kind of technology. "So I'm assuming you've got a time machine down here then. Do I want to ask how this is going to work without tearing our atoms a new one, or are we just gonna accept that it does and enjoy the chaos?"
Easing back into life one step at a timeRaven had been silent when Doom informed them of how it might not be a good idea to send anyone with magical capabilities. She didn't expect to find someone who believed in that all the way out here, she had to give the man some credit. She was still a little happy that it seemed like some did want her to come, Megan being the most vocal about it. There was still something bugging her about this. She had followed the group in silence for the moment, but felt that she needed to bring something up. "I have one more question before anyone gets thrown through time. Say we do get this spear and manage to bring it back to the present, why should we hand it over to you? Why shouldn't we give it to someone else, say SHIELD for example? No offense, but we don't really have any reason to believe you won't use this thing for the same reasons that the people we're taking it from did."
At Tony's questions regarding the way the time machine functioned, Megan opened her mouth, but chose not to speak. When Raven brought up her issues with the problem, then did she speak. "And how can you guarantee us a safe return?"
Chloe
Chloe suddenly stopped walking as if she had just remembered something, she walked towards Megan and said to her while Doom was distracted with Stark.
"Hello, Megan! I hope I haven't watched too many movies lately or that I am going crazy, but I heard you have some powerful telepathic abilities, would it be possible for us to have a private mental conference ? so all of us could talk in private.

Forgiveness is beyond justice, faith is superior than hope, redemption is better than perfection and love is greater than them all."Trust a nut to try and build a nuthouse," said Blob simply.
The rest of the trip proceeded far quicker with Blob barging his way through each and every wall, mowing down a couple of patients or staff along the way. Before they knew it, they had broken through the outside wall, and into the main street.
Pyro, for his part, had been waiting outside, as per Mystique's instructions. He was getting bored and about to look for a lighter, when the Blob crashed through a wall and gave him a hell of a start. "Well, that's one way to make an exit!" he nervously chuckled.
"The police will have heard that," said Mystique. "All of you, head for District X and don't look back."
Meanwhile, in the alleyway, the fight went on. Booster's throat now felt incredibly irritated, and he was coughing up dust that wasn't there before, but apart from that, no main ill effects. The revenant swatted around, trying in vain to hit the little things shooting at him, then suddenly leaped fifteen feet in the air. Grabbing onto a ledge, the zombie felt through his rags and pushed something, which emitted a high pitched wheedling whistle.
"Then leave me alone," said the cloaked man in an otherworldly voice. "Don't want to hurt you either, but I can't let you stop me."
"I could regale you all with the quantum mechanics and the superb craftsmanship that went into this marvel of science, but I fear it would fly over the heads of most." The group left the staircase, and entered a room filled with tremendous motherbanks, bizarre pistons and robots hard at work. "Suffice it to say, the final project is a thing of beauty, both complex and simple. Months of construction, years of research, priceless materials in titanic supplies. All have culminated in the ENIAC of quantum transposition: a machine spanning miles below ground, with all its astronomical forces focused onto a single platform!" As he spoke, the group entered a wide room: there was a complex bank of computers in front of them, two short flights of stairs either side, a large floor with robots dotted about, and the single platform◊ in the centre.
The doctor turned to Raven. "My dear girl, Latveria is a tiny speck of land in the middle of nowhere. It is barely a country in and of itself, and hardly worth the attention of the UN. With the exception of myself, the majority of the citizens are poor, and parliament spends the majority of its time squabbling on ways to stay afloat. I believe it is safe to say our government is no threat to anyone. SHIELD, on the other hand, is a self-sufficient military and espionage organisation with a global jurisdiction, and from what I have heard, have many horrific skeletons in their closet. If you believe this country poses a more serious threat with this artefact than such an agency, then you are entitled to your opinion."
He went over to the computer banks, and picked a strange egg-shaped device with two buttons either side and a digital clock in the middle. "Now, for a safe return, I shall give you this: a rudimentary time capsule. It has been preset to the time when you will be arriving. When you have retrieved the artefact, keep both buttons pressed for roughly twenty seconds. The clock will then stop, and the device will teleported to just outside the earth's ozone layer. There it shall remain, until one of my robots is dispatched to retrieve it. I will then read the time displayed, and, with a thirty second margin of error, transport you back to the present. These time capsules are in a limited supply at present, so if you return without the artefact in your hand..." His voice dropped to a low, threatening tone. "I shall be displeased..."

"Stop you from doing what, exactly?" Rocket asked the shadowy man, moving to Mary's side and then pointing his pistol at him. "Its about Osborn and his little 'weaponizing superpowers for profit' pet project he's working on, right?"
"Well before, I did it with reckless abandon. Now I can't control myself!" ~ Jesse Cox, 2014Booster grabbed at his ears, wincing in pain from the high-pitched squeal as he continued coughing. He hit a few buttons on his wrist, and gold covers quickly wrapped around his ears. Now, no sound was getting in, and he was able to hit off a few blasts at the revanant again.
"Not so *ack hick hack* tough are you n-*hock*" Booster quickly decided that there was no point in bantering when he was going to hack up a lung, and kept shooting

Mary closed her eyes and covered her body with her arms, before being shot by rocket's gun, but to her surprise nothing had happened to her. She didn't think about complaining about it to Rocket after all no harm was done"Stop you? Are you alright? I am sure whatever is making you feel worried, we can help you. " Mary asked the shadowy figure with concern.

Forgiveness is beyond justice, faith is superior than hope, redemption is better than perfection and love is greater than them all."And you're coming with us." Raze told Mystique. "That's the reason we're here. Rogue... your help was very much appreciated. Clearly, our methods don't match. But I guess that's the thing with siblings." He grinned down at her. "You should head out towards the police. Oughta buy us some time. Mother..." He smiled gladly towards Mystique. "I think your shapeshifting has been begging for some action ever since you got thrown in there."
Tony looked around at all the machines a moment, letting JARVIS scan things, then looked to the device the doctor was talking about. "Time egg. It's a TIME EGG. Holy shit, you have actually handed us a Chrono Trigger. I swear to God if I see dinosaurs when we get back there I am going to just lose it."
Easing back into life one step at a time''"What? No, that's not it at all! It..it...it's the voices...they need the pieces, they need to build the machine. So I need to get them what they need, and then...then the voices will leave me alone."'
Mystique returned the smile. "Quite true, Raze," she said, changing back to normal. Mid way through, however, she winced at her burns and snapped back to her security guard form. "Let's get moving again."
The zombie's whistling stopped, as someone somersaulted out of nowhere and slammed down on the road. It was a man dressed all in green,◊ assuming a different dramatic battle stance with each sentence. "Attack Dog One, in position! Distress responded! Commencing attack! Hut!" He fired a bolt of energy at Wasp from the glowing end of his staff.
For a moment, the doctor was finally struck dumb. "...what in thunderous blazes are you blathering about, Stark?! No! I have changed my mind, don't answer! I do not need to know..."
"Voices?" Rocket said. "What voices?" The raccoon's voice softened a bit, but he was still wary. Someone doing crime because of voices was always a bad sign. This situation suddenly required a more delicate touch to it......

"...Alright. Goodbye, mama," Rogue replied and began heading towards the police, letting the others do their thing.

Booster swallowed hard at the site of what could only be described as a zombie-mummy. This was pretty much the opposite of what he'd been expecting.
"Gonna assume we don't touch him." He said, punctuating this mindset by shooting a golden repulsor blast at his/its face.
