Among The Stars ✰ Thor Odinson

22

Soon enough Milena was on the quinjet with Steve, Nat, and Clint. On their way to Korea. She nervously shook her leg. Worried about Helen, even more worried about what in the world Thor was doing at the moment.

Eventually they made it to Seoul. Milena stood with Steve on the rooftop of a building near the U-GIN lab. A strange feeling cane over Milena as she looked out towards the city. She hadn't been in Korea since she was a little girl.

"Two minutes. Stay close." Steve ordered Clint. He looked at Milena and they both nodded at each other before they ran towards the lab.

Milena cringed at the sight of the destroyed lab. Sparks flew from the broken equipment.

Milena gasped in shock when she turned the corner and saw Helen, along with her coworkers laying across the floor.

"Helen!" Milena gasped. The doctor was leaning up against the wall blood from the gash in her shoulder staining her work attire. Quickly, she knelt in front of the doctor and began to heal the wound.

"He's uploading himself into the body." The doctor breathed. Gasping when she felt her wound begin to close.

"Where?" Steve urged.

"The real power is inside the Cradle. The gem, its power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up. You have to get the Cradle to Stark." She insisted.

"First we have to find it." Milena said as she finished healing Helen.

Helen nodded her head. "Go."

When Milena hesitated to leave after seeing more bodies on the floor the doctor yelled again. "Go!"

Steve spoke into the comms as they ran outside. "Did you guys copy that?"

"We did." Clint replied.

"I got a private jet taking off, across town, no manifest. That could be him."  Nat said

"There." Clint started. "It's the truck from the lab. Right above you guys. On the loop by the bridge. It's them. I got three with the Cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver."

"Don't!" Milena cried as they climbed a ladder onto the top of the loop. "If that truck crashes the gem could blow up the entire city. We need to draw Ultron out."

The pair watched as the truck neared the end of the loop. Once it neared they ran towards the other side of the loop and jumped off, landing on the roof of the truck with a loud thud.

Milena remained on the roof and watched as Steve climbed down to the door. Cringing as the door that he was holding on to swung open with a blast from Ultron. Steve pushed off the side of the truck and swung back. He peeked inside the truck and another blast sent him into the air before he landed on the door, now dragging on the concrete with a grunt.
