Adaptoid is still his normal size, but now there’s a machine gun operating from his right shoulder and more laser beams blasting from his hands. The lighting has apparently been abandoned for now, as has the forehead beam, but he’s sporting a visor similar to the one Sam wore when Bucky caught him. A quick sweep of the team shows a guess as to why. The machine gun has Steve and Natasha pinned down behind his shield. Tony, Sam, and War Machine are swooping around, blasting Adaptoid with everything they’ve got to try and divert his attention as he advances on the pinned-down superheros. On the far, far side of the clearing, the guy he’s guessed is Thor, from the hammer and lightning bolts, leans over another confusingly naked man with curly brown hair. The weird looking guy in the gold cape is no where insight.

“Anyone else notice he keeps shifting powers?” Bucky asks.

“Seems to have something to do with the last few people to attack him,” Steve says and it’s Steve, his Steve. Thank fucking God.

“Except for the arm,” Natasha says.

“Well, he does have a hard-on for Cap’s boy toy,” Tony says.
