Marvel Rising: Heart of Iron

Slow down, Doreen!

First you drag me out to see sunrise over the Brooklyn Bridge.

Then we had to have "the best smoothies" in Queens.

Now we're at Empire Tech?

What are we even here for?

Come on, Kamala. Where's your sense of adventure?

Um, it's telling me to go home and study

if I want a chance of getting into a place like this

when I graduate.

Being part of a top secret superhero team

is rough on the GPA.

Really? Or are you just too busy daydreaming about Dante to study?

What? No!

Shut up! You're the one always going on

about how Rayshaun's "cute as a bag of hazelnuts."

Hmm. (GASPS)

So cool!

I mean, for Mr. Stark to donate all this to Empire Tech for our research?

How can you guys not be all over this?

I'm excited on the inside.

-(YAWNS) -This is hopeless.

Robert, why did I let you guys talk me into going to that club?

I'm so tired, I can't think.

Is that where everyone was last night?

Yeah, well, it was a last-minute concert, Riri.

And we figured you wouldn't be interested, seeing that you're working all the time.

Besides, you're only 15.

I don't think you could've gotten in.

Pfft, it's fine. I get it.

Not like I want to go to some dumb club anyway.

So... If this thing is from an alien spaceship,

maybe it's a navigation device?

That doesn't make sense.

A navigation device wouldn't need so many power capacitor crystals.

Unless the aliens use gravitational mapping.

Ugh, here she goes again.

But that would need way more shielding to compensate for graviton interference.

No, you don't just put that many power capacitor crystals in something

unless it needs to handle a whole lot of power.

It's a self-contained cool-fusion power source.

How did you... A what?

Machines make sense to me.

Alien machines are still machines.

So...

Filthy thieves!

Look out!

Whoa!

Uh, by the way, that's what we're here for!

I can't believe this morning was just your sneaky way

of stalking Captain Marvel on Hero Watch!

Our.

This morning was our way of stalking Captain Marvel.

You always say we should learn from watching the best.

This way, we can learn from helping the best!

In a fight against Hala the Accuser?

You realize we're not trained up for this sort of thing yet, right?

Oh, we've fought Hala before.

Captain Marvel does not need backup.

-(EXPLOSION) -(YELLS)

Captain Marvel's gonna need backup.

Mmm-hmm. A lot of backup.

-I'll call Daisy. -Summon the Secret Warriors!

Call to action needs some work, Double-M.

If we crawl under that table, then stick close to the wall

and use the fume hoods for cover, we can make it to that hole in the door.

Look, I know you think you know everything,

but it's too risky.

We should just try and hide.

Hiding here isn't safe!

Come on. Follow me.

-(GRUNTS) -What are you doing?

People are still trapped.

Are you crazy? It's too dangerous!

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

What do you care?

Give it up, Hala. Stark designed that force field himself.

The Kree devices are staying right here.

Hmm.

Did he build the power conduits too?

Uh-oh.

-(SHOUTS) -(SHIMMERING TONE)

Agent Johnson, what are you doing here?

Whatever you need us to do, ma'am.

I didn't call for backup.

You've got no business being in this fight.

But since you are, have your team

evacuate civilians and contain the damage, understood?

Understood.

We've got to coordinate, guys.

Someone put out that fire and prop up the roof.

Get these students out of here!

Better living through web-slinging!

Watch your aim, chica!

Uh, oops.

Hi.

Hi.

Come on! We're here to eat nuts and save your butts!

What are you?

Seriously? People are just fine getting rescued

by a dude dressed like a spider, but I have to explain myself?

Hi, I'm the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Obviously!

It doesn't matter who we are. We've got to get you out of here!

Don't tell me. You're Bulldog Boy?

-(SLURPS) -(SHIMMERING TONE)

Good boy, Lockjaw.

Come on, I see some other students over there.

Got it! Now what?

I've got an idea.

It's working!

Ouch!

Metal's overheating. It's starting to buckle.

Heads up!

Huh?

Warning. Containment field failing.

Oh, no.

At last.

So helpful.

Stop Hala!

Wow! It's Iron Man in the...

Iron.

Welcome to the party, Iron Man.

Daisy asked for help. You go.

I got it!

-(GASPS) That power source is mine!

Huh?

-(ALARM BLARING) -Hmm.

Everyone here? Anyone hurt?

What happened to my lab?

What do you mean, what happened? It was Hala.

Weren't you chasing her down?

I will be once I move what's left

of these Kree devices to Avengers compound.

Let me guess, Carol.

Your team of tiny heroes got in over their heads

and reduced my multimillion-dollar endowed lab to rubble.

Way to go, guys.

Really... Effective.

Yeah, I need a retrieval team at Empire Tech, a big one.

Um, is that a tail?

Yeah, that's a choice.

You mind telling me what I just witnessed here, Agent Johnson?

Because it looked like you showed up

in the middle of a firefight you had no business being in.

We're lucky no one was seriously hurt.

No excuses, ma'am.

Your team is supposed to be in training.

What is a fiasco like this teaching them?

Hey, we fought Hala before.

You didn't complain then.

You are all capable of great things, but you can't go charging into danger

with no coordination and no plan.

Daisy, this was the wrong call. You need to step up.

Yes, ma'am. Understood.

I want everyone back at the garage for debrief, ASAP.
