『 eighteen. BIKE OF DEATH 』
"Two minutes. Stay close."
The team has split up, Bruce heading straight for the tower to await their arrival, not ready for another code green with the wound still open from the last time people met the Hulk. Tony had gone to Oslo, to find out who was on their side or by Fury's perspective, going against Ultron. This left Natasha, Steve, Hallie and Clint to take care of finding the body that Ultron was trying to build, which wasn't that hard seeing as they knew where Dr. Cho was. The hard part happened to actually be getting the body from Ultron.
Steve was on the ground, running into the lab alone to see if Ultron and the body were still there, leaving Hallie and the assassin duo in the quinjet, waiting for orders. Or at least Hallie was, the other two probably knew exactly how to deal with the situation by now. Hallie was just following, something she may not have done often but it seemed necessary at this point in time. Didn't want to argue with the experts and all that.
They wait to hear from Steve again, Hallie opting to stand next to Clint, even if it wasn't very safe in a moving plane that likes sudden movements. She'd heal eventually and currently they weren't in any real danger from the looks of things.
Over the comms, they all heard Steve say loudly, "Dr. Cho!"
There was the sound of heavy breathing, before another voice that Hallie recognized as Helen Cho said, "He's uploading himself into the body." When Steve asked where he received no answer, and for a second Hallie feared the worst but then she said, "The real power is inside the Cradle. The gem, its power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up. You have to get the Cradle to Stark."
"First I have to find it." Steve muttered.
"Go."
"Did you guys copy that?" Steve asks the small part of his team that had followed him.
"We did." Clint answers.
Natasha had already started searching locations for. The cradle, Hallie and Clint choosing instead to look out side the jet and down on the citizens driving on the streets. "I got a private jet taking off, across town, no manifest. That could be him."
Clint was first to notice a truck from the lab, cruising along the highway as though it wasn't being driven by robots. "There. It's the truck from the lab. Right above you, Cap. On the loop by the bridge. It's them. I got three with the Cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver."
