Tony scanned his eyes over some of the upturned cars and saw the flame dancing to mark the right vehicle. \u201cI don\u2019t have any extra comm sets on me\u2026 Look, I\u2019ll get the civillian out of the car if you can do that,\u201d he said, already turning toward the car. He landed in front of it, seeing a young man still seatbelted in and hyperventilating a little.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, hold tight, all right?\u201d Tony said, glad his faceplate was up\u2014his natural voice was always better in situations like this. Less alien, more soothing than a robotic one.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Time to split the attention again. Summer let the wings drop; there was no need for them anymore, and they\u2019d only draw attention she might not want right now. Unconsciously, one hand went to rub at her temple, and her eyes fell out of focus while she reached out to the pile of rage that was the Hulk.<\/p>\n

Anger, where was the edge of the anger? What else was threading through it? Guilt. Grief. Too common, too common, there was \u2014 \u201cI don\u2019t have enough data!\u201d she spit under her breath. Landing next to Rogers and Romanov, she said without preamble, \u201cI\u2019m going to try something stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linking her fingers together, Summer pointed her palms at the sky, hooked on to the Hulk\u2019s anger, and pulled. A column of flame exploded from her palms with a sharp snap, arrowing straight up into the sky.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony tried the door handle, but it was stuck, so he had to rip the door completely off. Carefully, he reached in to pick the guy out of the car. He picked him up and flew him over past the police barricades. That was when he saw a giant pillar of flame shooting up into the air.<\/p>\n

Fire? Fire! Summer!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It hurt, opening up like that. The Hulk’s anger was raw, sharp edges and hooks, as destructive as the being it powered, but Summer had faced her own rages and she gritted her teeth and held on. One minute … two … the deluge of anger abruptly ended and she staggered back, the fire wavering, then vanishing.<\/p>\n

Summer went to her knees, hard, then crumpled over to her side. With the last vestiges of energy, she jerked her shields back up. “Did I stop him?” she tried to say to anyone nearby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
