The Light Sentinel (Marvel/Star Wars Crossover)

Chapter 26: 1955

Ernest chuckled. "You give a name like that to your juice, it better have a helluva kick."

"You have no idea." Phil mentioned. 

"If we don't stop him, he's gonna build up Hydra and create the Red Skull." Daisy protested. 

"He already did." Phil stated. "We can't fix the mistakes of the past." 

"Why not?" Elena inquired. 

"I'm beginning to think you people are crazy. Hydra? Red Skull? Super Soldier Serum? Sounds like something out of the funny papers." Ernest retorted. 

"Yeah, well, there's nothing funny about it." Daisy rebuked.

"We can't stop it." Phil argued.

"Yes, we can." Daisy insisted. 

"I mean we shouldn't." Phil reiterated. "I'm sorry."

"With all due respect, it's not your call to make. Mack is the Director, and he doesn't have all in information." Daisy shot back.

At that moment, we heard May's voice through the walkie talkie. "Daisy, Storm, Yo-Yo? Anyone? Who's out there? Do you copy?"

We all exchanged looks, baffled to hear her voice. Phil slowly walked over towards the walkie talkie. But before he could reach it, Jemma beat him to it, grabbing the device first.

"She doesn't know you're back." Jemma pointed out. She then replied to May. "Agent May, it's no nice to hear your voice."

"Where are you?" May asked.

"We're coming back to the Zephyr." Jemma informed her.

"What about Mack and Deke?" May inquired.

"There's no need to worry." Jemma assured her.

"Never mind. I'll find them myself." May retorted. 

"No, don't leave the Zephyr. May!" Jemma exclaimed. 

"We need to complete the mission. Then we'll deal with May." Phil advised. 

Daisy stormed over towards the woman in the red dress, taking the cloth out of her mouth. "Now that I know what you are, I will ask you one more time. Where's Freddy gonna end up?"

"On the right side of history." She retorted. "You can't stop progress."

"We don't want to stop anything, which is unfortunate." I mentioned.

"We just want to find our friends." Phil chimed in.

"Well, then you can go to hell." The woman replied.

"Wait, wait, I know where that is. I've been there." Ernest commented.

"I'm sure you have." Elena said.

"No, no, no. Hell's Harbor. Where the double-crossers go to double-cross the double-crossers." Ernest clarified.

"But you'll never make it there unless you can fly." The woman protested. "There's no trains fast enough."

I scoffed. "Oh don't worry about that. We can fly. Now tell us how to find it."

"I'll tell you on the way." Ernest said.

"That's not possible." Phil stated.

"I'm not telling you anything unless you take me along. Freddy's my responsibility too. I want answers. If you want to help your friends, that's my price." Ernest informed us.

I exchanged a look with the others. Looks like we've got no choice.

After taking the woman to the nearest medcenter, we took Ernest's car back to the Zephyr. As soon as we were inside the cargo hold, we saw May holding a fire extinguisher above Enoch, who was lying on the chairs with a wound on his head, revealing his mechanical parts. Phil shouted out. "May!"
