"Oh, dude!" says Star-Lord. "We have got to get you in front of a VCR!"
"I do not know what that is, either," says the Red Skull.
Storm tries not to laugh.
She will continue to zap the Red Skull with lightning to the degree that she can...and Thanos, too, if he's still lying there.
If nothing else, this may distract them from Wanda.
The Red Skull was right about one thing. Gypsies are deft pickpockets. And how else is one to survive on the street when one parents have been crushed thanks to the implements of destruction of TONY STARK?!
Ah. Well. That is for another time. Even so, that is a lovely bauble on the wrist of the Red Skull but it would look better on Wanda's wrist.
While he is provoking the young man with the lovely purple eyes, Wanda relieves him of the Will Stone bracelet. That may get his attention. And he may not be able to force the Space Stone to do his will after all.
Lightning crashes around the Red Skull as he raises his right fist high, the Will Stone blazing green around his wrist.
"Mutant genetics!" he sneers. "Your freakish powers are as nothing compared to the forces once wielded by ze gods. Without even tapping the power of the Ragestone or the Tesseract, I can parry your puny lightning show, and turn its fury back upon its sender!"
The lightning does not turn back on its sender. The Red Skull frowns at his wrist, which doesn't have the Will Stone on it any more.
Meanwhile, Wanda has put the Willstone on her own wrist. She is now aware that Reed Richards, across the universe, is creating a mathematical model of a free-willed computer, to be used to model irrational behavior and find a solution.
"I haff ... been robbed?" he exclaims.
"Yeah!" says Star-Lord. "Eat hot light, Nazi scum!"
And a purple blast richochets off a red force field. Everyone bathed in the violet reflected glow feels benevolent towards their fellow men. Even the Skull, but then he ruins it by aiming the Blue Stone at Wanda and initiating a portal above her head, another one at her feet, and having them pull her in two different directions.
"As you vished," says Wanda, using her augmented will to place the portals by the Red Skull, just as he would have had her held.
ReplyDelete"Johann, you vill not be needing that--"
She wills the space stone from his hand.
(Well, she tries to.)
Storm concentrates on the Tesserach. She flies forward, gale winds blowing, throwing lightning and trying to find some way to separate the Red Skull from it. (She doesn't necessarily need to be the one to grab it, just trying to separate it from the Red Skull.)
