Issue #8

(Should heroes be called their hero names or code names in narration? Or should it depend on how close Jack is to them? Like for Human Torch and Invisible Woman, Jack is closer to them so it makes sense that they are called by their names. But for Captain America, the duo isn't that close which is why I prefer to just call him Cap. Anyone care?)

Jack, Human Torch, and She-Hulk heard an explosion come from the house. In a blur, a large grey figure appeared in front of She-Hulk. Before she could react, it struck her in the face and sent the woman crashing into the Quinjet. Jack and Human Torch were both stunned when they saw that.

After knocking back She-Hulk, the figure stood in place which allowed the two to get a good look at him. The person was over 7 feet tall and appeared to be a grey version of the Hulk. He had several metal spikes going from his shoulders to his elbows.

[Johnny! Light him up! Widow, we need Thor!]

[Yeah, we're not doing so good in here either. Dagger went down and Cloak had to get her out of here. So I'm taking on Crossbones and like 20 goons. I've already called for Iron Man but will request for Thor too.]

Jack made a split-second decision. The person in front of them definitely had gamma radiation like She-Hulk and Hulk. That meant he was in a league that Jack was not able to reach yet.

Jack did not wait for an answer before launching several ice spikes at the grey Hulk. None of these had even managed to pierce the hulk's skin before they shattered. Human Torch also threw several fireballs at the back of his head but they did not cause any harm.

Weapon H looked at Jack as if he was a joke. Feeling the disdain from Weapon H's eyes, something inside of Jack nearly snapped.

'You want to look down on me? Me, motherfucker?'

A playful smile appeared on Jack's face but his eyes were very cold. The contrast alone would make those who faced him feel fear. Most anyway. Weapon H just stood there and waited.

[Frost. Thor will be here in about a minute. Can you hold out until then?] Black Widow asked over the comms

[Nope! I'm gonna kill this guy before he gets here at that rate!]

"Torch! When I bring the cold, you bring the heat right after!"

Jack launched a wave of snow and ice toward Weapon H's face. This momentarily blinded him before Johnny did a fly-by and spewed a torrent of flames that melted the ice and snow. Jack closed in a launched more snow while also making himself a dodge tank.

Jack would fire ice and snow, Johnny would melt it, Weapon H would try and rip Jack in half but Jack would phase through it or take the hit and heal instantly. This same thing was repeated several times. She-Hulk got up after being stunned for a few seconds and helped Jack and Johnny keep Weapon H busy.

'You all wish to distract me so help can arrive? In your dreams!'

Weapon H released his adamantium claws which made the fight much more dangerous for She-Hulk and Jack. Johnny also thought that they were just trying to distract him so he got worried when their taunting got to be too much.

She-Hulk knew better though. She-Hulk realized the plan since she was in the thick of it and could feel it on her skin. The mist around them had gotten very thick.

"Jack! Is this enough?" She-Hulk asked after nearly getting her head chopped off

"Should be. Torch, Hulk, I got it!"

She-Hulk immediately lept toward the house and crashed through the wall, surprising the HYDRA agents and Crossbones. Black Widow smiled when she saw her ally arrive.

While the others were distracted at that moment, Black Widow used the chance to use her Widow's Bite to tase Crossbones into unconsciousness. The duo quickly took care of the rest of the HYDRA agents.

Black Widow walked over to the nearby computer and plugged something into it before she sat down to start hacking away. She-Hulk stood to the side with her arms crossed looking at their leader.

"You're not gonna ask how we fared against our opponent?"

"The fact that you are standing here and staring at me instead of going to save your fuck buddy should tell me all I need to know about the state of that battle," Black Widow responded without looking away from the computer.

She-Hulk was surprised that she was found out but not stunned. It was not like she cared whether other people knew or not.

"How'd you know?"

"I was trained to seduce and assassinate. It's not hard to tell when two people are lovers," Black Widow responded before turning her face away from the computer for the first time. "Plus you left your signature bite mark on his neck," she said with a smile before turning back to the computer.

She-Hulk couldn't deny anything so she just shut up. She walked to the wall where she had lept through and saw an amazing sight. Weapon H, that they were struggling to beat, was not stuck inside of a small glacier.

Jack's plan was simple. He would create snow and ice before having Johnny melt it in order to increase the moisture in the air. He would keep doing this until there was a strong mist. Jack could then freeze all the accumulated moisture to freeze both himself and Weapon H in a very thick glacier. After that, all Jack needed to do was phase through the ice.

When Thor and the other members of the Alpha Squad arrived, they were greeted to the sight of 40 tied up HYDRA agents, Crossbones twitching, unconscious body, Weapon H in a glacier, 10 uninjured SHIELD agents, and half the members of Delta Squad sporting injuries.
