"That bunker isn't far if you consider going all the way into Brooklyn 'not far'," She-Hulk says with a sneer.
"But in this traffic you won't get there before dark," which may or may not be true or sarcasm.
"But it'd be a lot easier if your plan is going to the Avengers Tower," she says, casually pointing a finger at the stately building only a few blocks away, hidden until now when anyone might move half a block to reveal it from behind another building. It stands stately and elegant in the afternoon sun, reflecting light regally from its gleaming exterior. Among the skyscrapers in Manhattan, it regularly stands as the most modern and breathtaking.
Below it, city-goers in red, white & blue garb mull about in thickening crowds. Somewhere a few streets away a high school band blares off-key, hopefully just warming up, but it's a duller sound here.
The winsome Wasp has been flitting around in the hot air and she finally pipes up.
"The Tower is still there, so Ka-Rang's prediction obviously didn't come true." Her voice is weary but a smile comes through.
"Not the first time Ol' Blue Face has been up a tree."
The time-displaced Deadpool looks around, under a parked car, behind a bush, to the side of a over-full trash can.
"מישהו רואה את המעניש? אני לא יודע אם אני צריך להירגע או לפחד יותר כשהוא לא כאן ממש מולנו."
Taskmaster shrugs then turns to face a particular hero.
"Y'all are being either too confident or too stupid to not know or care that there's a traitor in your midst."
"Not a bad plan, Fisto," Spider-Man says, walking upside down under the lamppost toward where the heroes have collected on the sidewalk.
"I can pick up Brooklyn on my way -- ARGGGHHH!" He convulses and falls from the light, then turns his back arching painfully into a flip to land on his feet, almost gracefully.
"My head! My spider-sense has never -- " he says just ahead of the first rumble, only a half-second warning ahead of the explosion from the Avengers Tower, once stately and elegant just a few blocks away, now bursting into pieces in a hellacious fury as it all blows outward to violently scatter what that it was all over the city!
Ka-BLAMKSSSHHH!
