Ground Zero - Stark Industries

Oh geez. Playing therapist to a damn infinity stone. This was the last thing Hope ever saw herself doing, but she was here and she had to do it - if it was going to be up to her to soothe a pissed off hunk of power, then so be it.

She tried to think of what her mother would say. Janet was always a lot warmer, a lot more caring - Hope was too much like her father. Probably because a distant Hank had been all she'd been left with, when her childhood came to a screeching halt after Janet disappeared, and she was without a mom to provide those soothing platitudes and help her deal with bras and boys. There were still times when Hope feared she wasn't as compassionate as Scott thought she was.

But no, damnit. These were her friends. This was her life - no chunk of rock was going to mess that up. "Please calm down," she implored the reality stone, her voice firm above the din - and she stayed focused even throughout the laser light show. "We won't stop you from existing - we can work together instead. If Thanos gets you, you'll be destroyed after he puts you in his gauntlet - but not us. We'll make sure nothing happens to you. You'll be safe. But you have to calm down."

God, this was insane. She needed a stiff drink. Maybe some more of that Asgardian mead.

Ground Zero - the stone is contained!

The stone turned them from a cubist nightmare to something more akin to a surrealist painting. With reality twisting and turning around them, it was hard to say how much time was going by. They were blotchy as the energy started to ebb down gradually, enough that the warp seemed to be shrinking in on itself. Finally, blessedly, everything grew more and more calm, as Hope reassured the stone.

It was difficult to tell how much time passed as Tony nudged his way forward until he was close enough to where the stone was to spray some nanobots over the top of the scanner plate, encasing the stone.

Everything that was floating or in pieces reformed or landed with a clatter. Which was a lot of stuff, considering the racket that it made when it hit the floor.

Tony wanted to drop along with it. When he got a chance to uncross his eyes and focus on the HUD, he noted that nearly two hours went by. In the space of that time, he knew what it was like to be turned into a Picasso, a Monet, a Pollock, and a Dali. At one point, he was sure he resembled a cross between a Lovecraftian deep sea nightmare and someone from a furry convention — heavy emphasis on the 'furry' part.

Listening to Ross screaming about this was going to be 'fun'...along with all of the obligatory threats that came along with it. He was going to have to do a lot of diverting and playing stupid, and a lot of clean up if things didn't revert to normal.

"....ohh~kay, hopefully, we have all our fingers and toes," Tony said, the helmet shifting away into the rest of the suit. "Let's agree not to say or do bad things to the shiny, and we'll text someone who can quickly port. That way we can put the One Thing back in the upstate Hulk bunker."

He wanted to say 'and rig it to blow' but he didn't think it a wise idea, after Hope just talked some dangerous bling down from a flailing freak out.

The world reformed. Jane swore she could feel her molecules realign. Her stomach swooped dangerously and this time she really was sick onto the floor.

"Sorry. I - sorry," she said backing away from the mess and catching herself on a table for support when her head spun. "That stone and I don't have a good history." She took a deep breath and tried to banish the image of a sky gone dark from her mind. "Thor's going to be so smug. He can take it, if you don't want to fly it."

"Whichever is fine, as long as it gets to where it needs to go," Hope put in, having managed to act quickly enough to hold Jane's hair back during that impressive trip to Vomit Town. She patted her fellow scientist's back, finding a bottled water in the chaos that was the formerly reality-warped lab space and handing over the refreshment. "Drink this."

She didn't care if Thor flied using his hammer-magic, or Stephen arrived and used one of those sparking rings of fire or whatever - but as long as the stone was 'out of sight, out of mind' she would rest easier.

And that bunker better be really well-fortified.

Considering that Banner set it up to stop himself, it was well fortified.

Tony looked around at a lab that was going to need a lot of clean up and knew that his second call was going to be to the Department of Damage Control. Before his phone started ringing so he could navigate the blame game, he took what Jane and Hope said into account and popped off a text to Strange. That might save on some awkward smug going on. Things were awkward enough already.

"Strange will take it," Tony told them. "I gotta hit the office and field some calls. You know, clean up crews. Speaking of?"

He wagged a pointy finger down at that yak that happened.

"Don't slip in that. Friday, get a mop machine to get up here and squeegee up Foster's barf."

As Friday said 'right away,' Tony disappeared into the adjacent office space just as several phone lines started ringing.
