Beneath Me 》 Loki Laufeyson《 [UNDER HEAVY EDITING]

48. 》One Last Shot, Pt. 1《

"I just spoke with Agent Hill. She says she's got him.", Rogers said to his teammates through his earpiece. The soldier could hear their soft sighs of relief and affirmation at his statement.

A few minutes later, Hill appeared with Fury limping by her side. "Hey.", Maria greeted, an arm around Fury's shoulder for support. Steve, Wanda and Vision shot them sympathetic gazes. "Director...", Wanda trailed off. Fury raised his hand.

"I don't need your pity party, folks. As you can see...", he began, trying to stand straight. "... I'm all good- ow!", he cut himself off as he felt a surge of pain on his neck.

"Hill, get him out of here. Stark will take care of the captives.", Steve demanded, giving her a slight nod. As Hill affirmed Roger's orders, proceeding to lead Nick away from the scene, she felt the director resisting, much to her dismay.

"What is it, Director?", Maria inquired, looking at him with concern.

Fury huffed. "I am not going to take orders from you, Rogers. That son of a b*tch has to pay for what he did to my men, what he did to me.", Nick uttered, staring at Steve dead in the eyes. The captain sighed.

"I'm sorry, Sir, but I'm afraid I can't allow you to stay any longer.", the soldier replied. With one nod to Maria, the latter quickly got out a chloroform-soaked cloth from her pocket and held it up to the director's nose. In a few seconds, Nick could feel himself dozing off.

"You... little..." Nick never got to finish his sentence as he drifted off to a calm slumber. "I have a jet waiting for him a few meters away from here. We'll take care of him, Cap.", Maria responded, holding Nick upright.

"I'll have the lieutenant assist you out.", Steve said. Upon hearing this, Rhodey retreated from Stark's group and off to Maria's position. "Let's go, before something bad happens to him.", Rhodes mused, assisting the female agent in carrying Fury. Exchanging glances, Rhodey left the scene along with Maria and Nick.

"Now, we need to get these test subjects out of here.", the captain added, his tone turning serious once again.

Steve was with Wanda and Vision at the moment, all focused on finding a way to free the unconscious test subjects from their cells.

"What buttons should we push here?", Wanda asked, looking as lost as ever as she stared at the countless buttons on the machine nearby. Vision shrugged, his eyes studying the structures of the chambers.

"They are still alive, aren't they?", he inquired, not really answering Wanda's question.

Before Steve could answer, the sound of the door opening caught their attention.

"Oh my gosh, it's The Avengers! Yehey!", Sabrina exclaimed with mock-enthusiasm, clapping her hands together in a childlike manner. Vision stepped in front of Wanda, both exchanging wary glances at each other.

"She's enhanced.", Wanda stated, trying to get inside her mind. Sabrina tilted her head in curiosity. "Wow, a telepath. Something I've seen before.", she teased, looking her up and down.

"Where is Strucker?", Steve asked, holding his shield up. Sabrina gave him a light giggle. "As if I were telling you."

Without warning, she shot out two fireballs from each of her hands straight at the trio. Vision immediately carried Wanda upwards bridal-style, moving her out of the way. Steve managed to block the attack using his vibranium shield.

Unfortunately, the fireballs hit the control panel of the cells, causing it to burst into flames and the lights inside the cells to flicker rapidly, eventually losing its power.

Vision descended on the ground, setting Wanda down gently. "Captain, we've got to find a way to get these adolescents out of here before something goes horribly wrong.", the android stated, his eyes set on Sabrina who looked like she was getting ready to aim another fireball.
