From the Quinjet I can see a massive dome like structure that must be Mojo's 'studio' I sigh as we meander through the air we're waiting for the X-men to get here before we land, exit the jet, and potentially have to engage with hostiles. I'm still annoyed that the 'villain of the week' is Mojo, I may as well use this time to explain more details to the others.

"Once we land and get out we're probably going to be rushed by Mojo's goons lead by Spiral a six armed woman with a short temper and Gog some meat head hired muscle."

I look over the group that was chosen for this particular mission not everyone that showed up came with us. I suppose that's smart if we loose we can't have all of the Avengers taken out. This way there might actually be a rescue party if we got captured as well. The group that came consists of Cap, Loki and I, Thor, Wilson, Nat, Peter, and Bucky. Not as many heavy hitters as usual but combined with the X-men it should be enough. Nat looks to me questioningly.

"So we just let them take us in?"

"Yes, they won't take our weapons if you're worried about that, they'll likely drop us right into some Hollywood movie esque scenario concocted by Mojo. I don't know whether or not he'll actually let the celebrities go when he sees we actually showed up but if not we can find them later. Once we're inside we need to figure out a way into the control room so we can shut this down."

I go on to explain just how detailed Mojo's shows can be. Nat nods slightly at my explanations. Soon the Blackbird shows up and we follow them into a descent, landing beside them in a patch of grass just outside of the dome. Cap gives us all one of his signature pep talks before we depart. As usual it was quite the speech and I feel encouraged by it. We will win this fight.

Loki grabs my arm and pulls me closer to him as we all exit the craft. I look at him to see he's pretty anxious about the situation. It's obvious he doesn't want me to be separated from him during the process of being taken inside the dome and divided up amongst Mojo's various 'shows'.

Though this is unlikely to happen because in my experience Mojo tends to keep couples together because of their 'on screen chemistry' I still smile slightly at his overprotectiveness. This has to be a bit hard for him, to have me come along for this after everything that's happened. I stand as tall as I can so I'm closer to his ear and whisper.

"Hey, It'll be okay."

He doesn't say anything but moves his hand so instead of holding my bicep he's holding my hand. I squeeze it reassuringly as we draw closer to the dome. The X-men are also approaching the dome the group consists of Logan, Laura, Piotr, Jubilee, Hank, Bobby, Rogue, and Gambit. Before I even have the chance to wave to them in greeting we're suddenly ambushed by Mojo's goons.

I can still feel my hand clutching my husband's as everything goes black for a split second before I see the scene in front of me has shifted. I'm confused for just a millisecond before remembering that of course I've obviously just been teleported into some twisted Hollywood blockbuster, at least we can face this together...
