How Many Warehouses Are Even In Queens Honesty, Early Sunday Morning

[imafuturist]

The problem with waiting for HYDRA to make the first move was that, once they did, it was a scramble to get into action. Especially when Clint's team was occasionally a little hard to find to call for back up. Stupid magic.

Luckily for Tony, he could make sad eyes at a few people on the island to help keep him alive to stop whatever the hell the Red Skull was planning this time.

He took a quick scan of the warehouse (it was always warehouses) to see what sort of opposition they'd be running into and was a little disturbed and distrustful over how few guards they had.

[Expecting two for all the slowplay!]

"Scraps?!" And that flaming hair thing just got more... flaming.

Spider-sense was going crazy, but Jessica had experience with fire-themed bruisers. And this lady was no Norman Osborn.

... She was clearly way more powerful than Norman Osborn.

"I mean, the Skull's the guy with the plan, right? You're just the lovely assistant in his magic show," Jessica suggested. "And your work is valued, but... c'mon." Jessica was crouched and ready to spring away the second the taunting caused fireballs or magic blasts or both.

"You think I would demean myself to that creature's lacky?" Amora hissed, turning to circle the mortal who dared say such things to a goddess. "Your minds are so small."

"My mind's reasonably large for a mortal," Jessica said, moving sideways so they would be circling each other. She didn't want to get trapped by a fire goddess. "But if I'm wrong, then what's your deal here? Why work for -- work WITH the Skull on this?"

"You will learn soon enough, little spider. My master comes for your world next." Amora hunched over, teeth gritted in pain as her hands went to the 'necklace' at her throat.

It was possibly a warning or a threat. Hard to tell with her.

Jessica shot an electrified webline at the necklace in an attempt to yank it away and/or shock Amora. Whatever worked. "So you have a master besides the Red Head over there?"

It was magic, Jess. Magic. Butt the fire snuffed for a moment and Amora stared at her with wide, frightened eyes. "Find Thor. Or more worlds will fall."

Jessica was ready for any number of results. Electrocuting Amora, pulling the necklace away, Amora sending flames down the webline, vaporizing eye blasts. But that? That caught her by surprise. She wasn't going to crack wise at Amora's sudden fear. "I will. Anything else I should tell him? What's happening?"

She was expecting the flames to come back now and a suitably evil answer in response, but it was worth a shot.

Aww, look at Jess being all kinds of genre savvy about this.

The web burned up and a pillar of flames engulfed the area as Amora screamed. It was drowned out by a much deeper, decidedly more ominous voice. "Let him come."

And suddenly all that remained was scorched concrete.

"That's about what I expected," Jessica said, turning around to give her attention to some of the HYDRA goons. If she couldn't stop Amora, she could at least keep some of the chaff away from Tony and Cap.
