"You mean, control them?" Nick asked.
Bruce's eyes widened a bit. That was something he did NOT want her doing to the Hulk. Uh-uh.

Rosie glanced to the side a bit. "Yeah...." she replied.

"Alright, here's the deal," Nick said, "You can either agree to not using these powers during your time on this vessel, or you can get the Hell off."
"Whoa, Nick, that's a little harsh, even by your standards," Bruce protested.
"Not your call, Bruce."
Bruce shook his head in vain. The Helicarrier was Fury's own personal world. He was going to do as he saw fit.

Rosie looked up at Fury when he started talking, then blinked when he finished. She took a quick look back at Bruce, then back at Nick. "O-okay..." she replied quietly.

Fury nodded in agreement, then went back to the controls. "Bruce, found anything new since we last spoke?"
Bruce was almost surprised that he'd been spoken to. "Uh, no, not really. My research was destroyed, then I... changed." Fury knew about the Hulk, so there was no real need to elaborate on that topic. "All I can really tell you is that Doctor Strange is here." And Black Cat, but he didn't really feel the need to share that; she'd said she was in the Sanctum for a reason, so he thought it best to keep the fact that she was there quiet.
Fury nodded. "Well, that's at least ONE more person on our side. The old S.H.I.E.L.D. systems are registering several people from our Universe, both with and against us. A few Avengers, a couple X-Men, a great many people with no real affiliations. On top of it, there's what appears to be an even greater number of people from another Universe altogether, plus some sporadic others from Universes other than the primary two."
Bruce stared a moment, as all of this sank in.

Right about then, something like a small explosion sounded from somewhere on the ship. It was quickly followed by something else that sounded like a small explosion... except that it quickly became obvious that it was yelling. The ENRAGED voice of a girl, shouting much, much louder than was supposed to be physically possible. "WHERE THE HELL ARE WE!?!?!?!" A loud crash quickly followed.

Bruce very nearly jumped out of his skin, which probably meant that if another incident happened like that in the immediate future, Dr. Bruce Banner wouldn't be there much longer. "What the hell was that?!"
Nick Fury merely got in the intercom. "Attention all available units. Stand by outside the main medical facility. Go armed, but without weapons drawn. We do not know if the person is a threat." With that, he turned to Ice Dragon and Rosie. "Let's go check up on the woman you both saved, shall we?" Without waiting for a response, he left to do just that.

As they got closer, he heard a good deal more crashing, screaming metal, and small explosions, but by the time he got there, nothing was left of their guest but several humanoid-shaped holes directly through walls... going toward the outer hull of the ship.

Both Rosie and Dragon glanced at each other, then moved to follow after Fury. Rosie paused a moment and glanced back at Bruce, then back at the others. The lady could help Fury, so she'd stay back here with Bruce in case something happened.

After the secondary explosions kept occuring, it proved to be more than Bruce was able to take. His normally blue eyes began to glow a bright green. His skin color gradually changed, as did his size.
Nick turned around. "Oh, crap..." He grabbed Ice Dragon and threw her into the hallway. "RUN, ROSIE!!! GET OVER HERE!!! NOW!!!"
Bruce's muscles grew larger and larger by the second. In the space of almost a minute. Bruce Banner was no longer there. He had been replaced by the Hulk. "Why is Hulk in metal flying box? HULK HATES METAL BOX!!!" Without hesitating, he tore the upper part of the island completely off of the rest of the Helicarrier, sending it towrds the flight deck. A piece of it hit some of the propellers, sending them off of their motors and back where the island was. Hulk saw the threat, and then saw little Rosie. For some undiscernable reason, he knelt down and completely covered her with his body, being careful to not crush her.
Fury watched this happen, and said, "Goddammit!!! We need to abandon ship!" They were getting lucky; the lack of propellars on the one side was pulling the soon-to-be doomed ship off into an open plain, away from the city.

((Open plain? In New York? >>))
Unfortunately, at exactly that point, a black fist punched through the side of the craft like most people would tear through tissue paper. "WHERE IS SUPERMAN?!?!" the something yelled, sounding every bit as angry as the Hulk, "HE GAVE REAPER KRYPTONITE?!?! DOES HE WANT US DEAD THAT BADLY!?!?" The something ripped through the metal and tossed it aside carelessly, but even in full view, it no longer looked ANYTHING like Supergirl. "AND YOU WERE HOLDING US IN YOUR FACILITY!!! KRYPTONITE PROBES AND DRILLS... WE WILL NOT HAVE IT!!!" With that, it unleashed its laser vision directly onto the Hulk, probably because he was the biggest, most obvious target in the immediate vicinity.

Rose took a few steps back, and stared wide eyed at Bruce as he transformed into the large green creature. The duplicate that was with him had been listening to the conversation between him and Reaper. But...this...she was almost too shocked to look away. She hear Nick call out to her, but she didn't at the same time.
She watched as Hulk ripped things appart with unnatural ease, and then watched as the blades came flying towards them. Her eyes grew larger, and she quickly looked away, preparing for whatever was about to happen. Rather than feeling the blades, she felt someone...
She blinked a moment, then realized that he was shielding her. Still scared, she moved so that she could cling onto him.

Once the treat of the rotors was gone, Hulk stood up and looked around. Seeing the ship going down, he did the only thing he could think of. He picked up Rosie in her hands, and leapt off of the dying ship.
Fury watched, and then got up to continue to the flight deck. "We need to follow suit. Now!"

Quite suddenly, Fury was being lifted up by the lapels, and was staring into a face that was eerily like Venom's. White, inhuman eyes... "You," the creature told him, the fury in its voice suddenly icy, "Are not going anywhere. Where is Superman?!"

Rosie again clung to Hulk once he picked her up and held on tightly.
Ice Dragon quickly moved to where Fury and the woman were, and stopped. Unless she made a move to harm him, then she didn't need to step in. That would only make things worse. Especially if that was who she thought it was...wearing Dinashi's suit.
