"Mortal Danger" in Marvel - Bruce B, Pepper P, Selina K, Steve R, Gwen S, Bucky B (+JARVIS)
[The coordinates that Robert provided were on the water, just at the river and overlooking the murky blue that Selina assumed hid Tony's bay lab from nosy eyes. And, honestly, what had the man been thinking? Building something down there. It seemed the most unsafe thing a person could do, and it didn't surprise her at all that Tony had done just that. Oh, she'd known about the lab when the last version of Robert Banner had been working on it, but looking down at that murky water made her comprehend just how deep the thing had to be.

Alright, so the kitty cat was fond of taking risks, but she was as hypocritical as anyone else. And right now? Right now she wanted to hiss at the tin man. It didn't help that she was tense, and that her mood wasn't precisely buoyant. And maybe she was a tiny bit concerned with what they'd find inside the lab itself. JARVIS had all but confirmed that Tony was inside and not doing well.

Impatient, she settled her hands on her hips. She'd taken a few minutes to change into skinny jeans and a simple t-shirt in black, her whip looped through the jean's beltloops, and heeled boots on her feet. And unlike the hotel lobby, now it was her turn to pace.] What's taking them so long?

[She assumed they'd let JARVIS know when everyone was there, and commence this farce of mortal danger that somehow involved six people who hadn't even been in the same space prior to said mortal danger occurring. And the fact that JARVIS went for that? It was the most worrisome thing of all.]

[The second (third? fourth?) roar tapered off, and Hulk stood there, hunched enough that his hands touched the ground, breathing heavily as his head drooped. He was alone, everyone else leaving while he tried to shout away the hurt at seeing no glow. Alone. Alone except for the water that had begun to swirl around his feet. Head still hanging low, he watched the pattern of it around toes, ankles, calves. And though his thoughts were slow and jumbled at the same time, he knew (with a lift of his head toward the murky water on the other side of the glass) what was happening.

It hurt too much to think of Kitty, and he didn't know Lady or Shiny well enough to think of them. Somewhere in the chaos of his thoughts, he might have remembered someone else, blonde and young, but she was quickly washed away by the next tumbling thought of no glow.

He needed to go.
He needed to not be where the no glow had been.
Away.
AWAY!

He wasn't going to be using any elevator, any constructed shaft to carry him to the shore again. Even if he could fit in it, he didn't have the presence of mind to think that part of the journey through. He crouched down, not thinking of the others that might still be there, tension bunching in his legs and back, and then jumped. Through glass, into the high-pressure water of the bottom of the bay, and then made his way up up up until he found ground to jump again.

Going away.]

[Climbing the wall was totally turning out to not be a solution. The water was rising, and Gwen was so not panicking. Nope, panicking was not happening, because she needed to focus on the situation at hand, and the timing for this was super bad. Dying was like something supernova in her head, and she didn't even need to think hard to remember what it felt like, and she was scared. Fear was a survival instinct. Fear existed to keep people alive, but it was also kind of immobilizing sometimes.

Like now.

But Ms. Potts was raising the elevator, and Gwen glanced toward it with a snap of her blonde hair (Move!). In her defense, she did move, into the water, and she swam toward the elevator with something ridiculously unscientific (Hope!) fluttering in her chest.

But the crouch and roar from behind her made the water like a wave, high and slamming against the lab walls of the lab, and the last thing Gwen felt, before her head slammed into metal, was pressure sucking her back through that hole the Hulk had just created, and out into the frigid Bay.]

[Bucky slid onto the elevator with Pepper, then out into the deep and rushing water, following Selina's path. He was disoriented and half-deaf from the gargantuan monster roaring into his ear, one of his eardrums burst and bleeding down the side of his face. Balance was a challenge, let alone swimming the rest of the way to the surface with dead weight across his back. It was a long, cold climb, only one arm and one leg moving freely, kicking hard and fast, seeing white stars from lack of air.

But he made it, reaching the surface with a harsh burst of air from his lungs, letting Tony's weight slide from his shoulders. He rolled Tony to float facing upward, even if all the evidence pointed to it not being necessary anymore.

He levered up to his feet. He cauhgt his breath. Then he leaned down, levering the heavy body up and over his shoulder again.

He made his slow progress up through the shallows to the shore. He weaved a little, equilibrium lost from the sharp change in pressure underwater and losing his hearing in one ear, but he did not stop.]

Going to a doctor. [In case anyone was still listening on the comm, which was partially broken and handing from his left ear by a limp, bent wire. He ripped it from his ear and tossed it into the water, walking slowly toward the road.]
