Information started coming in, and Maria folded her arms as she watched pictures and video and speculation on the form and source of the robots in question...and those already engaging them.
The Helicarrier was over the New York harbor, and from the look of things, by the time they got there, the fighting itself would be over. But there would still be work to do, people to help and damage to contain and robot bodies to confiscate and analyse; just because they weren't there now didn't mean it wasn't within SHIELD's jurisdiction.
And anyways, what as the point of having a moving base if they didn't move?
"Then we're headed to Metropolis. At full speed." She braced herself as the floor shuddered beneath her as the engines roared to life, as the deck pitched down as the carrier swung around towards Delaware and Metropolis; they couldn't launch the fighters at this speed, but the jets wouldn't be effective in the middle of the city anyways.
