INSIDE THE QUINJET, ON THEIR WAY TO THE HELICARRIER
to her and steve, the last time they were in the air like this was just before they’d crashed into the ocean. thankfully, for her, there were enough differences that she could easily separate the experiences from one another, allowing her to focus on the present instead of the past. or at least, the more recent past, she presumed, watching a datapad show video footage of the hulk.
❛ so, this doctor banner was trying to replicate the serum that was used on me? ❜
❛ a lot of people were. you were the worlds first superhero. banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking erskine’s original formula. ❜
jenny winced, as the hulk tore a jeep apart on screen. for a moment she had to wonder how painful the transition was, from man to ― angry and green. ❛ unfortunately it seems he didn't quite get the results he was looking for. ❜
❛ not so much. when he's not that thing though, guy's like a stephen hawking. ❜ she and steve shared a look of confusion, and she was about to speak up when coulson realized they had no idea who he was talking about. ❛ he's like a smart person. i gotta say, it's an honor to meet you, officially. i sort of met you, i mean, i watched you while you were sleeping. ❜
a small chuckle escapes her, even as steve stands up and moves to the side of the aircraft. she'd never had any . . . envy of the captain for his fame after he went in the ice. even learning most didn't remember her, except for those she had worked with closely. and while she hadn't visited the exhibit for the howling commandos yet, she had been informed that she had been included in it.
❛ i mean, i was . . . i was present while you were unconscious from the ice. you know, it's really, it's just a huge honor to have you on board. ❜
❛ well, i hope we're the one for the job. ❜
❛ oh, you are. absolutely. uh . . . we've made some modifications to the uniform. i had a little design input. ❜
❛ oh so we're going old school? back to the stars and stripes? please tell me it's just for him, i know i wore the chorus girl outfit on one mission, but i'd much rather something a bit more protective this time. ❜
❛ aren't the stars and stripes a little . . . old fashioned? ❜
❛ with everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old fashioned. ❜
steve seemed to think on this, and jenny shrugged. ❛ makes them feel secure. gives them something that hasn't changed that they can trust and rely on when everything goes to shit around them. ❜ she can feel steve and coulson looking at her, and so she looks up from the screen she had still been watching. ❛ it's basic psychology. ❜
the quinjet lands down a massive battleship known as the helicarrier. it has two runways. one with direct access to a hanger at the rear, which is aligned along the spine of the vessel. agent coulson, steve, and jenny walk down the ramp, meeting up with natasha.
❛ agent romanoff. captain rogers, and ms. smith. ❜
❛ oh, please no. just call me jenny. ❜
❛ ma'am? ❜
❛ hi. ❜ she looks over at coulson. ❛ they need you on the bridge. they're starting the face trace. ❜
❛ see you there. ❜ coulson walks away, and the trio walk towards the railing of the helicarrier.
❛ it was quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice. finding the two of you, even. i thought coulson was gonna swoon. did he ask you to sign his captain america trading cards yet? ❜
❛ trading cards? ❜
❛ huh, he has trading cards now. neat. ❜
❛ they're vintage. he's very proud. ❜
she nods, glancing around the craft only to see dr bruce banner walking around, trying to stay out of the way. steve walks up to him and they shake hands, jenny not far behind.
❛ dr. banner. ❜
❛ oh, yeah. hi. they told me you'd both be coming. ❜ banner replies, and jenny has to force herself to wait just a little bit before interrupting.
❛ word is you can find the cube. ❜
❛ is that the only word on me? ❜
❛ only word i care about. ❜
❛ well it's not the only word i care about. you have, what is it, seven phds? i read all of your thesis papers last night, your work in gamma radiation and anti electron collisions is . . . for this time period, it's genius. ❜
❛ for this time ― wait, you read them all last night? ❜
❛ i'm sort of what you'd call a fast reader. ❜
❛ it must be strange for you. all of this. ❜
steve looks of to where a group of men in training are running. ❛ well, this is actually kind of familiar. ❜
❛ i've seen stranger. ❜
natasha interrupts their conversation, gesturing to the ship around them. ❛ we might want to step inside in a minute. it's gonna get a little hard to breath. ❜
❛ is this a submarine? '
❛ really? they want me in a submerged, pressurized metal container? ❜
❛ submarine doesn't make sense though, not with them just strapping down the quinjets . . . ❜ she trails off, as they all move closer to the edge of the ship. that is when the engines lift into place, and jenny quietly grins at the sight. ❛ this is bloody brilliant. ❜
❛ oh, no. this is so much worse. ❜
they quickly follow natasha into the ship ( although jenny is rather tempted for a moment to stay outside, just to see how it feels. ), and she raises an eyebrow at the bridge. nice. after a moment however, she can see steve pulling his wallet out, and the time lady walks behind him, plucking the ten dollar bill that he was about to hand fury out of his hands. ❛ he owes this to me. i'm not surprised. interested yes, maybe even a little impressed, but it's going to take a lot more to surprise me. ❜
and with that she moves to lean against a wall, out of peoples way but able to observe them as they work. dr banner is escorted to his lab, and for now all there is to do is wait.
