Chapter Six Turning Point
✧ ─ ✧ ─ ✧
After departing from the Bartonhousehold, the group (apart from Tony and Thor) traveled to Seoul, South Korea, where Dr. Helen Cho was working at her laboratory.
Once they arrived, everyone split up to their designated areas. As usual, Captain America and Zatanna paired together, while Black Widow and Hawkeye did the same. Zatanna jumped to the top of the building where Helen worked from the quinjet. Zatanna grunted as she pulled herself over the rail and steadily landed on her feet.
She waited for Captain America to follow, while the Quinjet, flown by Black Widow and Hawkeye, hovered by them.
"Two minutes. Stay close," Captain America said to the two on the quinjet. Captain America and Zatanna ran into Dr. Cho's laboratory to find her laid against the wall with blood covering her chest.
"Dr. Cho!" Zatanna gasped and kneeled down next to her. She placed her hands on her shoulder and slightly shook her awake.
"He's uploading himself into the body," Dr. Cho said to them. Zatanna furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"Where?" Captain America asked her as Zatanna lifted her hands to heal her. She glanced at Helen and said, "Laeh reh."
"The real power is inside the Cradle," Dr. Cho gasped and felt the wound begin to heal. She grabbed Zatanna's arm and continued, "The gem... its power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up. You have to get the Cradle to Stark."
She nodded and said, "We have to find it first."
"Go," Dr. Cho said, as her wounds disappeared, but she was still left with a feeling of soreness.
Zatanna smiled at her and hoped for a quick recovery, before she and Captain America headed off.
"Did you guys copy that?" Captain America said over their communicator.
"We did," Hawkeye responded. Black Widow canvassed the surrounding areas for any suspicious vehicles that could hide the cradle. "I got a private jet taking off across town. No manifest. That could be him."
"There. It's a truck from the lab," Hawkeye said as Zatanna levitated herself and Captain America to the rooftop of the building. "Right above you guys. On the loop by the bridge. It's them. You got three with the Cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver."
