And then she saw it through the watery tears. It was just lying out in the
open next {tothe : to the} wall of one of the corridors. A plain wooden stick that was
more valuable than all the money in the world to Akane. Now sobbing in
happiness, she began to rise.
It was just as she turned to go that the dust settled enough to show that
instead of being buried, two of the larger pieces of ceiling had collapsed
in an upside down 'V', protecting the stick rather than burying it. Akane
gave a cry of joy loud enough to rival that of the Hulk's earlier one of
anger. Retrieving the stick would require a bit of maneuvering. There was a
carpet of jagged rock between her and {the : her} goal, and she would be forced to
crawl through the tunnel the fallen rock had formed, but her salvation was
not beyond her reach.
Iron Rose flew above the others to get a clear shot. She was met in mid-air
by a bolt of lightning. Instead of the yellow blast shooting her down, she
let out a hearty, "Ohhohoho! I can absorb electricity. All you've done is
made me more powerful, you ring bearing fool. Now pay for the innocent lives
you've {killed : taken}!" She released her repulsor blasts.
"So you have extra padding in your chest. A wise precaution," Elektra
remarked.
"Oh, shut up!" Hawkeye swore, barely rolling out of the way of a kick aimed
at her skull.
100% natural. Hasn't anyone figured out her secret yet?
"Fuchsia. Because it's really dark red, but people try to confuse Hulk and
call red fuchsia. Hulk hates {Fuchsia : fuchsia}!"
"How can things possibly get worse?" the Mandarin wailed.
Mjolnir cut through the air like a missile, striking the A-bra-mination
cleanly in the face and off his feet.
Why do they always say that?
Elektra walked painfully over to where the floor had caved in, being extra
careful around the edge, lest she share the Mandarin's fate. The hole went
deep. Obviously the disintegrator had sheared through multiple floors,
weakening them enough that the mass from those above each one was sufficient
to drag the Mandarin and the tons of rubble down into the abyss with him.
"He is disposed of," she informed Bucky.
Why don't they ever make sure they find the body?
The destruction started by the latest ceiling collapse began to stretch
throughout the rest of the command center. Increasingly large {piece : pieces} of
masonry fell in a rain of rock and dust.
"Nothing, nothing!" Thor said hastily. "I wish to be part of {thine : thy} group."
