Mister Fantastic stretched his neck out across the room, staring at Flynn dead in the face.
"On the contrary, that may be exactly what is needed. As long as we have a means to anchor you to us, you can produce fire and aid in the propulsion of the ship," Fantastic theorized.
"Stark, perhaps some magnetic --" A pair of what looked like clip on booties hit Richards in the face and Mister Fantastic groaned in annoyance.
"Already done, old man," Tony said with a smirk.
"These shoes'll grip the side of the ship, allowing you to basically turn yourself into an engine to help out Marvel and Torch and all." Captain Marvel had a haunted look in her face as Maria absorbed some of her powers. She had consented to it, yes, but she clearly wasn't thrilled. If anything, she couldn't even bring herself to look Maria in the eye right now.
"This better work," she warned, before Captain Marvel went out of the bridge, heading for the nearest access point to the outer hull of the ship.
Roman jumped as Maria flicked his ear. "What? Oh. Uh, I don't really work with big picture stuff like this... I can make a drone fly, maybe drive a car, but anything bigger than that... doesn't work..." he admitted. He was the world's most useless technopath for several reasons apparently.
Tony was quickly throwing together a huge jetpack basically for She-Hulk, although it looked like it would take him a bit more time than the magnetic shoes he had made for Flynn. The Invisible Woman was trying to make a gigantic shield around the ship, but she was having trouble as her pregnancy was making her feel completely sick at the moment.
Impact - next round
Pennsylvania Avenue: Washington D.C.: 12:10 P.M.
The skrull!Jakobsen looked visibly nervous for a brief secondary after Jakobsen punched him, before smirking slightly. "I take it someone skipped out on their flight," skrull!Jakobsen quipped. He nimbly dodged Cass' attempt to punch him, before throwing a punch of his own that missed. He was able to break free from Oliver's flag, thanks to his super-strength, only to then be knocked to the ground by a poll.
The guard Matt had taken out didn't appear to shift into becoming a skrull. Maybe he was human. It wasn't entirely impossible for the skrulls to have left some of the human security forces in place. One of the guards was down, the other one and Skrull!Jakobsen was still at large.
The other guard went to use the radio he had attached to him, in order to call for back-up - but he didn't move fast enough. In the blink of an eye, Raynor threw his dagger, Lyting, and skewered the radio. It wasn't usable. The guard let out a frustrated growl, before revealing his true form - a gigantic, towering skrull, easily ten feet tall. He was much larger than any other skrull they had seen before. And to make matters worse, electricity was arcing around his body in waves.
"For fuck sake," Raynor cursed under his breath. He hadn't expected things to be easy, but he also hadn't anticipated that they would be fighting a giant with lightning powers. He almost wished that Sparky was inside with them, rather than outside in the van. She would've been able to stop this. But she wasn't here, so Raynor steeled himself and swung his fist in an uppercut, aiming at the giant skrull's family jewels - only for the skrull to catch his hand. The skrull's electricity was drawn to Raynor's body. If it hadn't been for all the times Sparky zapped him when annoyed, he would've passed out instantly.
Raynor tried to free himself from the skrull's grip, but he couldn't do so. He opened up his free hand, calling his dagger to himself, enduring the immense and prolonged pain. But even as the dagger hit his hand, he was still helpless in the skrull's grasp.
That was, of course, until someone stepped in. Amelia took in a deep breath and then blew as hard as she could, amplifying the air currents she was moving until a gigantic gale of wind slammed into the giant skrull. The giant skrull toppled backwards, taking a few steps and releasing Raynor in the process, blood having trickled from his eyes, ears, and nose.
"Oi, wanker, how about you pick on someone else who is still not your size!" Amelia jeered.
The skrull obliged, rushing at Amelia, grabbing her and slamming her up against the wall. Electricity arced through his body and into hers, causing Amelia to convulse painfully. She barely managed to summon up a ball of air in her hand and throw it at the giant to break free. As she hit the ground, Amelia felt like she had been frying for a thousand years, even though it had barely been any time at all.
Bonnie, meanwhile, knew that she wasn't going to be the most help when it came to these super-powered fights. She still didn't fully understand what she was capable of. She had heard from Sparky and Niah that there were apparently children in the building, and secrecy was of the utmost importance, so as the fighting raged on Bonnie went around the Oval Office quietly, locking up every door that she came across, and pulling the curtains closed.
"You might want to stand down, son," Captain America recommended to Jakobsen.
"I don't think I do," the skrull said, before breathing
ice and freezing Captain America where he stood, turning him once more into a living popsicle.
