Back in Black
Quinn kept his mouth shut (for a change) and stayed near Wrecker. Klaw was sealed inside the building and the other three were still bound by mystical bindings.

He did a quick check on the others.

Sarah was facing off against the Hulk.

Rose was squaring off against Screaming Mimi and Agnar.

So business as usual and unless they were in dire straights, he wasn't going to blow his cover so to speak. Quinn was just waiting for the right moment to take out the whacko he was following.

His other teammates should be getting here soon.

	The Hulk was a little wobbly, but he was still standing. "Hulk SMASH girl!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sarah's knees tremble, she put everything she had into that last salvo. But its the Hulk. She can't even catch her breath.

And then she feels a spark from the Hammer. She looks down at it, surprised, and somehow the words on the side make sense.
"Whosoever holds this hammer, if she be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."
Huh, wasn't that 'he?'

Lightning flashes from the sky, and hits the amp stack, and suddenly the dead equipment jumps to life.

"Uptown got its Hustlers
The bowery got its bums.
42nd Street got Big Jim Fixit,
He's a bad-ass son of a gun.
Yeah he's big and dumb as a man can come,
But he's stronger than a country hoss.
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call Big Jim Boss.

And he says,
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Hulk

Well outta Battleworld came a country girl
She say I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
I am a hammer-wielding fool
My name is Sarah Rogers
But down home they call me Slim
Yeah I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd Street
He drivin' a drop top Cadillac
Last week he took all my money
And it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back
And everybody say Girl don't you know

And you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Hulk."

Lightning flashes again, at the Hulk, and she's following it in a moment. She doesn't know where this new rush of energy came from, or why any of this is happening. It may even be a once in a lifetime thing, but she's got her moment, hammer and shield flashing right and left.

The shield was always a thing of her Dad's. On Battleworld, there was no America, none of what it symbolized ever meant much, or seemed to, for anyone but him. But he taught her to salute the damn flag, and sing the anthem as loud as she damn well pleased and be proud to be an American, somehow or other.
Across from Mjolnir, somehow that shield doesn't seem so heavy anymore, like its something alive. It almost jumps before every return blow, and though the Hulk's blows shake her injured ribs and shoulder, it keeps moving, she just knows it will defend her, that it damned well means something.

And the amp stack plays of its own accord.

"Well a hush fell over the band room
Jim come crashin' in off the street
And when the cuttin' were done
The only part that wasn't bloody
Was the soles of the big man's feet
Yeah he were cut in in bout a hundred places
And he were shot in a couple more
And you better believe
They sung a different kind of story
When big Jim hit the floor now they say

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim."

A whirlwind surrounds the pair, hammering the Hulk from all directions, lightning flashing out from the core, and radiating into the behemoth as she swings with the precision only a Rogers can call their own and a will she never knew she had.

And somehow she can hear it through the stacks.

"Yeah you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim."

The maelstrom dies down with the new flurry, the song fading as she stares down the Hulk, daring him to do anything but fall.

"I'll see you on the dark side of the moon."

Whatever that was that possessed her, it leaves after the flurry. Sarah topples over onto her knees, having troulbe lifting hammer or shield, which suddenly feel like they weigh a figurative ton while she tries to catch her breath, and all the injuries catch up to her.

"Yeah, its alright." she mumbles, looking at the Hulk.
"We're... doing fine." she adds after a glance at Rose winning her fight.
"Yeah..." she takes a deep breath.

And there's a roll of thunder.
