It was looking grim and Adrian thought he was finished but Dane literally saved his ass by killing the Skrull aiming at him. "Am I glad to see you! I thought I was a goner. My comms got knocked out so I never got the call to withdraw. Who's gonna protect the civilians if none of us are out here? I don't know about you but I can't leave these people to fend for themselves, I wouldn't be worthy of being an Avenger if I abandoned people in need."
He slammed his shield into a Skrull shattering the alien's skull and turned to put a bullet between another's eyes, reloading when he got an opportunity. "Are you going to withdraw?" He tried raising JARVIS and SHIELD but the comms were dead - SWORD was quiet too and something didn't sit right with him. Heroes For Hire wasn't responding either. "Everyone's comms are dead, something's wrong." Adrian was caught by surprise and hit in the back with a laser falling to the ground and getting back up with a hiss. Thank God for good body armor - Jan's handiwork was a lifesaver! Going back to back with Dane he grinned. "I'll watch your back if you watch mine." Holstering his Needle Gun he drew the sword he got from Ares for Christmas ready for another round - it wasn't anything special like Dane's broadsword but it was a lot better than the baton.
