Someone has to be "the smart one" on the team. The Black Panther does not need her powers to understand she is in an alien situation, in a strange realm, transported somehow... A sample could be crucial to understanding what happens in here.
But she cannot seem to get one. The 'floor' seems too solid to even attempt to take a tiny sample, yet strangely not there at the same time. Coupled with the fact that she doesn't seem to be breathing makes her wonder how she can move at all... This place seems hard stuck the way it is, surrounded by stillness...
But while she ponders over this, The Avengers go down to check on Stark and Shuri while Captain America remains behind to make sure Bushman is taken to prison properly.
Little did they know the situation was already tense!
When Wasp and Moon Knight get there to see Shuri has apparently betrayed them and is threatening to attack Tony and Jarvis, the hero hooded in white wants to strike with his trademark Crescent Darts!
...Wasp, however, realizes damaging the lab any further may happen if there's more fighting in here, and so tries to drag people away from it. She shrinks and uses her enhanced strength in miniature state to drag both Jarvis and Moon Knight (despite his protests) away to safety.
And while she does that, instead of going along, the ever clever Tony Stark tries to manipulate the enemy into revealing itself, while giving the others the time to leave. Villains love their stupid monologues, and as the freaky shape of the Space Phantom is shown to him and the rest, still holding the makeshift lance.
"Silence, human. I am the Space Phantom! I come from a place beyond your understanding, from my world of Phantus! But my world cannot hold my people any longer! So I have come to take yours! Now perish, Avenger!"
Not much of a monologue, is it? And what's worse, he makes good on his word, and STRIKES!
Meanwhile...
Back in Limbo, Shuri continues trying to understand this strange realm... Unaware she is being watched by a shadowy figure who rapidly goes to report this new sign of activity to their boss...
(This is a collective choice, vote normally!)
<span class="mu-s">Who is the boss of this mysterious character?</span>
- An armored woman with a huge sword?!
- An eccentric man with a tall hat?!
- Some people in formal office suits?!
- Another Space Phantom?!
