Using the dimensional doors, the team arrives in Paris instantly. “Then all that’s left to say,” she replies, “Is Avengers Assemble! Jocasta tells her that, once she’s done that, she will scan for hostiles and facilitate civilian evacuation. She has Jocasta hook them in to the building’s systems. But, she warns, they should take this guy seriously or they scrub the whole thing. Tigra has to agree and tells them to be ready in one minute. Defeating a well-known criminal and freeing hostages could be the turning point where they finally feel like heroes. While it’s her call, he thinks it’s vital that the kids do this. Over in Italy, Giant-Man calls Tigra and tells her that Jocasta’s patched him in to their conversation. Jocasta replies that she’s run through thirty-two simulations and all result in the successful apprehension of Electro, most with no major injuries. Plus, they have the advantage in numbers. Tigra admits that they are used to sparring with Striker and his abilities are pretty similar. He reckons the guy thinks he invented electrical powers. Hazmat asks what they’re whispering about and Reptil informs her he was just telling her that they’re ready to take on Electro, right? Striker asks to be let at him. Tigra admits she didn’t realize they felt like this. He reminds her that he’s a class leader and he knows they need a confidence boost. He adds that, if they can get a win today against a guy who gives Spider-Man a tough time, it’ll feel like it was worth the hard stuff… like they got better for it. They’re wondering why they should even bother when there are bad guys like Korvac out there. What about Captain Britain? Reptil interrupts and asks what about them? He didn’t mean to eavesdrop but they need this. Every Avengers squad is in the middle of something. Pym’s help, as he knows their dimensional doors can get them there in seconds. Electro’s assaulted the CNRS headquarters… their science institute. Jocasta appears and informs Tigra that they’ve had a request for help from the Police Nacionale in Paris. With them in the driver’s seat they managed to get most of them killed.
They defeated him but it was in their adult bodies from alternative futures. He reckons Striker’s ego is usually in Charlie Sheen territory and they’ve just defeated Korvac. Mettle doesn’t find his comment cool and suggests Intern Avengers instead. Striker thinks ‘special’ Avengers is more like it. Nobody wants the remedial Avengers flying in on the short Quinjet. Plus, the Italians might not appreciate the using their national disaster as a teachable moment. Tigra tells her she’s as tactful as ever, but correct. Their powers aren’t terribly effective against lava and ash. Reptil asks why, in that case, are they watching it on plasma screen instead of helping? They just beat Korvac! A cosmic God! They’re ready for this.įinesse reckons that they are there for the same reason as Tigra, who was left behind to babysit them. It’s not as flashy as beating up cyborg gorillas but the number of lives saved can be in the tens or even hundreds of thousands. She says that relief work might just be the most important work that they do. Tigra and the students are watching footage of Giant-Man and Quicksilver helping save people from an erupting volcano, Mount Etna.
