~Avengers~

Thor frowned, unable to break the lasso of this amazon. He shifted, calling his Mjnor back to him. In the darkness only the lasso glowed. He was about to strike when she released him.

"We must find this cube you speak of..." The Amazon Warrior stood, collecting her things.  "I think we are both being played here..."

Thor admired the woman for her leadership, as he put his hammer beside him. The warrior continued on.

"Tell your men to stop fighting, we must find-" A roar went off in the room below that sent a shiver down her spine. The sound reminded her of a monster of hades. "What was that?" She hesitated, giving Thor a look.

"One of our guys, don't worry about we need to get to the cube." Thor said, moving towards the steps with a hurry.

Before either of them could reach the steps the hulk broke through the floor beneath them, growling and banging against his chest.

"This things with you?" She looked hesitant, keeping her blade up. The giant monster stood before her, with rage in his eyes as far as she knew.

Thor nodded with a smile of pride, "of course." He was not scared of his good friend, as he moved towards the Hulk.

Little did he realize that the Hulk was in attack mode. A look of confusion came across Thor's face as the hulk grabbed the beautiful amazon by the waist. Thor paused, trying to get his attention, "Banner stand down. This woman is not our enemy..."

The hulk could not listen. A familiar blue twinkle sparked in the Hulk's eyes. "Enemy." He growled. He heard none of Thor's words as he threw the woman into the wall. The hulk started to rampage against the god and goddess.

"Here we go again." Thor took a deep breath, spinning his mjnor in his hand.

Natasha's ears were ringing as she woke up. She found herself tied together with Barton, behind the two criminals in question. "Koheчho" She slowly reaches down to her side of her shoe, where she kept a thin razor blade. Slice. She and Barton were free, but she couldn't make her move now. Her senses were off, and he was unconscious. Natasha slipped off into the shadows, creeping closer to the two criminals as they discussed there next step in their evil plan.

"What are we going to do with them?" The man identified as Green Arrow spoke, cleaning his bow and arrow. They both looked prepared for a war.

"We are supposed to wait for Batman's signal, then we grab the cube and get the hell out of here." Black Canary insisted.

"Did you see there fighting? They have military training...do you think this is Lex's doing..is he recruiting a team to stop us."

Yes. Natasha smiled a little, knowing that that's what they were. A team to stop these criminals from being a menace to Gotham, Metropolis and Star City. She knew those cities had some of the highest damage and crime ratings, and it had to be because of them. Like the spy she was, she sat in the rafters silently listening to the two talk.

They were rather boring after a while, so she decided to drop two knockout pellets before moving on. They should be out cold for at least a few hours. Now it was time for the Black Widow to explore Lex Laborites. The best part of any mission.

"Oh boy." The Black Widow gasped as she opened the doors to the ground level. She found Steve's earbud, crushed into the ground. She noticed blood, and indentions in the wall.  Where is the old man? Her eyes came across a blue and red fabric, stuck underneath a caved in wall. "Guys Steve's down." Natasha said as she ran over to Steve.

Natasha tried her best to move the rock off of him, using all her strength to lift the rock. Underneath the wall, the American icon was knocked out cold. Her fingers went down to his neck. Faintly she felt a pulse. "He needs help..." Barton came up behind her, but his focus was on something else. His eyes scanned the room noticing they had an even bigger problem on their hands.

"Hey Nat..." He motioned to the empty case across the room. They had lost. Why they each were distracted with one or more of the criminals, one of them had stolen it. She presumed it was the all powerful alien. In fact both Barton and her knew it.

Black Widow put her finger against her ear, "Its gone...the tesseracts its gone."
