Capítulo 43: Issue #3
The Avengers had all gathered around the meeting table. On the screen in front of them was Crystal and lockjaw in two separate prison cells.
"Rogers is talking with SHIELD about matters related to this meeting so I will be running this one," Tony started the meeting by saying this
"This girl claims to be from a race of near-human people called Inhumans, each with special powers similar to mutants. Whether they are just mutants with a different name or actually something else entirely, we are unsure of at this moment.
She came here looking for our help. Her people are being hunted and one has been captured with us not knowing if he is alive or dead. From the logo that she drew out for us, the ones she claimed attacked her people are from Leviathan.
After doing our own investigation, we found her words to be true. They have been making a lot of moves in the dark lately and killed every time they set out.
The good news, we know they are bad guys. The bad news, both of their base locations are in metropolitan areas where civilian casualties are very likely if we move in recklessly. Rogers is getting approval and backup from SHIELD so that we can raid these facilities.
The two assault squads will be Alpha and Zulu Squads. Our goals are simple. We enter, help the SHIELD agents move through the facility, take out any enemies, save their leader, and get out."
"Friend Stark? Will this be a mighty battle where I can truly unleash my might?" Thor asked from his seat
"No, Thor. Your full power means we lose half the city. At least. We also have no reports of any superpowered beings working for them so that should not be an issue as well," Tony instantly shot down Thor. They were still cleaning up the mess from the last time they let Thor go wild.
"What about her and her other Inhumans?" Johnny asked
"We plan on letting her and her pet out as long as one of the squads watches over them. Same case if they want to retrieve their other members before we raid. We need a squad to do it," said Tony
Johnny looked at Natasha who nodded her head and agreed. They had silently accepted the mission of protection duty. After going over a few more items, the meeting was dismissed.
Jack and Johnny went toward the cell area. Johnny was going since it was his idea and wanted to let Crystal out. Jack was just following along because Johnny asked him to.
When they were in the elevator alone, Jack finally asked him the question that was on his find.
"Love at first sight?"
"W.. what are you talking about?" Johnny stuttered
"I'm talking about the way your eyes curve up and you subconsciously smile when you look, talk, or think about her. Also, the fact that this is the first time I have seen you volunteer for anything in the past month. Your sister's face also makes it seem like you haven't volunteered for much responsibility before this too."
Johnny did not know how to deny it so he didn't try to deny it.
"I've dated lots of girls. Like at least 100. But I've never had such a natural... connection with one. She is definitely the one."
Jack stopped the elevator and looked at Johnny as if he was looking like the biggest idiot he had ever seen.
"You only spoke 6 words to her and 3 of those were 'I' cause you were stuttering."
"Shut up! You don't know what it's like to have such deep feelings for someone."
Jack shook his head. "Talk to me when you speak to her for more than a minute," he said in disdain before continuing the elevator.
Once they arrived on the lower level, the pair immediately went to open the doors to each of the cells. Johnny let out Crystal while Jack let out Lockjaw. When he returned to the pair, he was immediately greeted by some light flirting between the two.
"I think I said this before but I'm Johnny Storm. I also go by Human Torch," Johnny greeted much better than the last time
Crystal laughed at this before introducing herself
"Yes. I remember that you seemed a bit nervous the last time we met, "Crystal said remembering when Johnny first introduced himself with a flushed face, "My name is Crystalia Amaquelin but most people call me Crystal."
"Nice to meet you, Crystal."
"You too, Johnny."
The duo stared at each other for a few moments before they heard some coughing from the side. The pair saw Jack and Lockjaw staring at them. Both felt embarrassed and backed away from each other a little.
"Glad that you two are getting along so well. If you wanna pick up the other members of your group, we can go ahead and do that now. I'm assuming this dog can take more than just you at once. The other Avengers are going to try and save that ember you mentioned earlier."
Crystal nodded at these words. "His name is Lockjaw and yes. He can take all of us and the rest of our Inhuman group."
Jack nodded and placed his hand on Lockjaw's body. Johnny was about to walk over too when Crystal grabbed his hand and shook her head.
"Lockjaw. Let's head home."
Blue energy surrounded all of them before they disappeared. When the light faded, the 4 of them had arrived in a cavern. Crystal and Lockjaw did not act as if they were in the wrong location and walked forward. Knowing it was better to follow after them, Johnny and Jack did the same.
After taking several turns, they arrived in a large cave where several beds were. Jack could see that there were 6 people lying on the beds and all of them had their guards up even though Crystal brought them there.
Crystal explained the situation to the other side. After talking for a few minutes, Medusa walked over to Jack and Johnny.
"We thank you for your assistance and shall repay this debt one day."
Jack nodded noncommittally. He didn't truly want to accept it when he was helping of his own free will but he also had no control over whether the other Avengers of SHIELD would try and use this debt.
The group of 8 surrounded Lockjaw before they were teleported once again, back to the Avengers Tower.
