A Cosmic Rendition

Chapter 8: Chapter 8



In the end, Bruce and Betty decided to keep their house. Appointing the daughter of the owner of a grocery store they used to buy from as the caretaker, they joined Gwen and Peter on their journey back to the US. SHIELD had been courteous enough to allow them the use of a private jet, and after a one-hour car ride to the nearest airstrip, the quartet was on its way westward.

"You really want to get back into Gamma research after what happened last time?" Gwen asked with a small frown, looking at Bruce who sighed.

"A part of me is reluctant, but the purpose is noble. If what Agent Hill said is true, we might witness something extraordinary soon. Just imagine, the energy crisis around the world, solved in an instant."

"Still, won't the proximity trigger the other guy? You can rein him in, right?" She asked, worried.

"I haven't had to experiment much with the Hulk since I managed to control it, so I can't say anything for sure. However, I think this will be as good an opportunity as any to see how the Hulk reacts."

Gwen nodded in understanding. Gamma radiation was not her forte, so she didn't know much about it. But given his past, she couldn't help but worry about Bruce. She could only hope Bruce didn't lose control of the Hulk once the experiment began. There was no telling what kind of catastrophe that might result in.

Sensing her turmoil, her boyfriend clasped her hands in his lap and gave her a comforting squeeze. Gwen looked at him and smiled.

Their arrival in New York was mostly unnoticed. They didn't have to go through any clearance, nor did they have to even visit the airport. Right beside the airstrip stood a sleek black Humvee and a black sedan. As they walked over, the door opened, and out stepped the same woman who had visited Bruce and Betty back in the Himalayas.

"Doctor Banner, Doctor Ross, Mr. Parker, Miss Stacy," Maria Hill greeted them one by one.

"We shall be taking the jet to get to the facility. Given the need for secrecy, only a select few know of the location," she looked at Gwen and Peter. "Since it is not necessary, the pair of you won't be coming with us. Agent Smith will see you to your apartment"

Gwen and Peter nodded in understanding and looked over at the man clad in a black suit with sunglasses on. A black sedan was parked behind him.

"Doctor Selvig is already present there with the NASA scientists. You can get freshened up over there and would be joining them to begin in the afternoon," Maria told Bruce and Betty before gesturing for them to enter the car.

Bruce gave the woman an understanding nod, took his seat, and looked outside as the car revved up. He returned Peter's nod before looking at the brunette once again.

"How's Doctor Selvig, by the way?" He asked as they began to move. Maria looked at him and gave a small smile.

"Apart from being a few years older, I don't think much has changed from the last time you met him."

"Still his usual eccentric self then," Bruce chuckled. "How long until we get there?"

"Two hours, probably less."

Bruce nodded and leaned back in his seat as they approached the jet, and his eyes widened when he gazed at it for the first time.

"That's the Quinjet. We're traveling what, 2500, 3000 miles from here?"

"You seem to have some knowledge about SHIELD tech," Maria remarked keenly. Bruce's guess was indeed correct.

"I took an interest a little while ago," he replied simply as the car came to a stop in front of the hangar.

"All the way to this arid dryland," Bruce remarked drily as he stared down at the sandy expanse of the Mojave Desert in Nevada where this research facility was apparently located.

"Secrecy demands such locations," Maria replied as she looked at him.

Bruce simply nodded and stared into the distance where the glowing metallic roof of the widespread facility was now visible. It looked as large as a few football stadiums from his vantage point.

The Quinjet landed on the long airstrip and they were greeted by a young man with spiky brown hair clad in a Kevlar combat gear that left his arms bare.

"It's not common seeing you without your weapons, Agent Barton," Maria Hill commented as they reached the man before she turned toward Bruce and Betty. "This is Agent Barton. His team has been assigned as part of the security team for the purpose of this experiment. Agent Barton, Doctor Banner and Doctor Ross. I'll leave them in your capable hands."

Barton nodded as Maria walked away.

"Let's get this over with then," he muttered and gestured for them to follow him inside.

"Listen. No offense but I'm really not the one to do this helper stuff. Your rooms have already been prepared and you are to get ready and join the others in the main hall soon. Don't worry, it's a straight passage so you won't get lost. Now, as to why I chose to greet you here. Doctor Banner, how well do you know Erik Selvig?"

Bruce frowned at the man. "I can't say I know him very well personally. We've met a few times and I'm appreciative of his work. Why?"

Barton sighed. "Erik Selvig has been behaving… weirdly, I think that's the best way to put it. It's nothing drastic. The man is devoted to his research, but there are times when he behaves like a loon, almost as if he's some sort of fanatic who's been given unlimited access to the thing he is a fan of. You get what I'm saying?"

"Erik is a passionate man. He loves his research. Perhaps it's him getting excited with what he's managed to find so far?" Betty replied with a chuckle. "I know someone else who gets like that on occasion."

"I hope so. Nevertheless, try to spot if something's wrong with the man. I asked him once, and all he said was that he was not sleeping well because the Tesseract was sending some energy waves which affected him. Now I'm not an expert in all this at all, so I don't know how much truth there is in what he told me, but I'd like to exercise caution. If there's something wrong with the man, we will have to take action," Barton replied. Bruce nodded.

"I understand. I'll try and see if I can find something."

"That's all I can ask. Here you are then. You'll find the main hall right this way. Just keep walking straight and you'll get there in a couple of minutes."

Bruce and Betty nodded toward Barton who walked away without a backward glance. Sighing, they turned to look at each other before Betty opened the door.

"Let's get this over with," Bruce muttered to himself and closed the door behind him.

Erik Selvig was already hard at work when Bruce and Betty arrived in the main hall, staring at the massive contraptions that were connected together in the radiation chamber.

"This brings back memories," Bruce remarked as he walked over staring at the computer screen Selvig was looking intensely at. For a second or two, there was no response and Bruce had to clear his throat to get the older man's attention.

Selvig abruptly turned around and looked at the man, and the smile on Bruce's face gave way to a small frown when he didn't say anything.

"Ah, they told me you would be arriving," Selvig said at last. "Come, come. I'll show you my notes so far."

Bemused, Bruce exchanged a glance with Betty who was wearing a frown herself. They had expected more of a reaction from Erik, considering Bruce's situation. Nevertheless, they followed Erik to his working station which was nothing more than a table with papers scattered around erratically.

"We are only to monitor the Tesseract for now. There is no testing clearance from NASA yet. No matter though, it will come anytime. See this," Erik handed a small folder to Bruce who opened it and looked at what was inside.

"Truly fascinating, isn't it?" Erik continued while Bruce and Betty perused through the folder. "Some say Odin himself coveted this treasure, but he feared for its safety so he hid it away somewhere on Earth before it was discovered by Hitler's associates in the previous war. I would have laughed in your face if you had told me this a year ago, but now…" Erik trailed off.

"How long have you been at this, Erik?" Bruce asked with a small frown.

"A week or so, why?" Erik asked nonchalantly. Bruce shook his head.

The work was too little by Erik's standards, and even the notes were not prepared as meticulously as he had previously seen.

"Are you okay, Erik? You seem a bit worse for wear," Betty probed gently.

"Ah, I'm managing as much as this old body would allow," Erik smiled and looked over at the Tesseract once again. It was held in a compact coil chamber and given the fact that there were no wires to connect it, it was apparent to see that the artifact was sustaining itself.

Bruce frowned as he stared at the glazed look in Erik's eyes and he recalled what Barton had said to them some time ago. Indeed, Erik had that worshipping look in his eyes.

"You know anything about its origins, Erik? Any speculations?"

"Hmm? Ah, I do not. Although it is not from this planet, that much is for certain. It is entirely possible that this once belonged to Odin. The Asgardians are much more advanced than us. Perhaps we could somehow harness its powers and ascend to those heights as well. Won't that be a sight?"

"It will…" Bruce frowned. "It will. What is it you are doing now then?"

"Nothing, just waiting."

"I guess there's nothing more you can do anyway, not until NASA's instructions arrive," Bruce sighed with a nod. Erik didn't say anything and continued to stare at the Tesseract.

Suddenly there was a small beep from one of the machines, and a NASA scientist rushed over. He fiddled with it for a few seconds before his eyes widened. Bolting upright he looked over at where Doctor Selvig was and ran over to him.

"Doctor, there was an energy surge from the Tesseract!"

"I thought you were not testing?" Bruce asked, confused. Erik continued to eye the Tesseract in interest before looking at the scientist who was staring at him expectantly.

"Contact Agent Hill and tell her. She will decide what to do. Meanwhile, don't do anything to the Tesseract. We don't know what could happen," Erik instructed, and the scientist immediately contacted Hill on his communication device.

Bruce and Betty stood there, frowning, as Erik went over to his workstation. It was barely a minute later when Maria Hill arrived with a small group of agents.

"What's the emergency?"

The scientist explained everything to her, and Maria immediately launched into action. The protocol was already in place for such situations.

"I want the two of you to help with evacuation. You might not have much familiarity but you can at least ensure the lab tech can get moved as it should," Maria instructed Bruce and Betty who frowned slightly before nodding.

"It's that serious then?"

"Very," Maria replied simply before turning around and walking away, her hand cupping her earpiece.

"Yes, Your Grace. A few minutes ago. Yes, they are here. I have initiated evacuation, but it might take hours for us to do anything. Okay, I will," Maria replied firmly and walked away.

It was a few hours later when a loud sonic boom filled the silent expanse of Mojave Desert, echoing to the horizon. A couple landed on the compound and were immediately greeted by Maria Hill who had been waiting for their arrival.

"Status, Agent Hill?" Clark Kent asked in a business-like tone as he and his wife strode forward inside the facility. Maria Hill and a small group of SHIELD agents followed slightly behind.

"No concrete idea, Your Grace," Maria replied.

The trio walked through the corridors toward the main hall where the Tesseract was held, maneuvering around the technicians, scientists, and logistic staff who were running around.

"Tell us everything from the beginning," Diana instructed the brunette, who started explaining.

"As debriefed earlier, Doctor Banner and Doctor Ross arrived in the facility, and after getting refreshed, they joined Doctor Selvig in the radiation room. There was nothing going on back then and they were discussing the project when suddenly there was an energy surge from the Tesseract. The NASA scientist who discovered it quickly informed Doctor Selvig who told him to contact me. I ordered immediate evac and asked all personnel at hand to help with the process before I called you."

Diana nodded. She and Clark had been on a visit to the Kryptonian ship Clark had discovered up north. They had only arrived for a few minutes when they received the emergency message from Agent Hill. Cutting their visit short, they had instructed the scientists involved in the ship's care and transport to go about their way and that they would be back soon. It had taken them a few hours to arrive here in the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility and it seemed the evacuation was still underway.

In a way, it was understandable since this facility had been operational for decades and contained intel and equipment that would take a significant effort to transport.

"Was Selvig already performing tests on the Tesseract?" Clark asked with a frown. "I remember Barton telling me about his weird behavior but I didn't think he would override commands. NASA didn't authorize the commencement of the test phase."

Maria shook her head. "That is the conundrum, Your Grace. There were no tests performed. In fact, there was no one near the Tesseract. The energy surge was observed only on a monitoring device."

"What are you saying? That the Tesseract started acting up on its own?" Diana asked with a frown.

"What about the energy levels? Have Selvig and the others managed to contain it?"

"No," Maria shook her head. "It is still climbing. I ordered evac before anyone could do anything. However, Doctor Selvig and Doctor Banner tried to shut it down, to no effect."

"You did the right thing," Diana assured the agent who gave her a respectful nod. "How long until evacuation is complete?"

"Half an hour," Maria replied. "We have already managed to get most of the heavy equipment and years of intel and research out of the facility. Whatever is left should be taken out in half an hour at the max."

"Try to get it done in less if you can, Agent Hill," Clark instructed as they arrived in the main hall that housed the Tesseract. Maria nodded to a couple of agents to see to it, who nodded and walked away.

Erik Selvig was nowhere to be seen, but they did see a few NASA scientists fiddling about, helping with the equipment while a brunette set about instructing them.

At the sounds of footsteps approaching, the brunette turned around and her eyes gleamed in recognition.

"Your Graces," she greeted respectfully.

"Doctor Ross, I presume?"

Betty nodded and turned to the side. "Doctor Selvig, they are here."

Erik Selvig walked out from behind the large machine set to the side, his face showing his concern.

"What's the situation, Doctor?" Clark asked immediately.

"The Tesseract is misbehaving, Your Grace," Erik replied immediately.

"The Tesseract is not a child that it would misbehave, Doctor. What exactly seems to be the problem?"

Erik smiled uncertainly. "As I told you, the Tesseract is misbehaving. Not only is she active, she seems… alive, for the lack of a better word."

Clark exchanged a worried look with Diana at that.

"Have you tried to pull the plug?"

"We did indeed try to cut the power. The problem is she turns it back on… Almost like she's a child playing with us…"

Clark sighed and looked at Betty with a small frown.

"Anything insightful you might want to add, Doctor Ross?"

Betty looked surprised for a moment before she nodded.

"We have run a few scans and observed that the energy spikes are increasing every minute. If we can't control the energy, it is possible that there might be massive destruction. We are talking beyond nuclear here."

"And? Is there any way to control the energy?"

"The calculations are far from complete. We do have the technology to harness energy from space, but nowhere ready enough to successfully undertake such an operation. Throw in an erratically behaving artefact and I'm not sure we can control the energy. With the way this is developing, I'm afraid there might be no minimum safe distance."

"And? Is this something imminent? What's the time frame we're talking about here?"

"Without any further outside interference, a long time. But it's a ticking bomb waiting to detonate. We will have to develop a way to contain it in the meantime."

"I see. Get ready to move the Tesseract. I hope that won't be a problem?"

Betty looked thoughtful for a moment, before replying, "The Tesseract is emitting small bursts of gamma radiation. Not too drastic but just enough to be noticeable. Getting too close is not something I would advise."

Clark nodded and turned toward Maria. "Status of the PHASE 2 prototypes? I hope they have been evacuated?"

"At first priority," Maria nodded.

"Good," Clark nodded back. "Where are Doctor Banner and Agent Barton, Agent Hill?"

"Helping with the evac, Your Grace," Maria replied.

"Call them over," he instructed calmly, watching the Tesseract with keen eyes as Maria contacted the Hawk on her earpiece.

Barely a minute later, Bruce and Clint walked in together and greeted Clark and Diana.

"Walk with me, you two," Clark instructed, and with a nod toward his wife who nodded back, the three walked out of the room while those who remained turned toward the Tesseract. Meanwhile, Erik and Betty busied themselves with the equipment to figure out a way to deal with the energy spikes or to at least contain the bursts.

"I assigned you on this detail so you could keep a close eye on things, Agent Barton," Clark remarked.

"I prefer to watch from a distance, Your Grace, while moving around. Gives me a better perspective of things," Clint replied. He had his bow slung over his shoulder and a quiver full of technologically enhanced arrows over the other.

"And? Did you notice anything out of order?"

"No unauthorized access. No one has come or gone from the facility. No calls, no texts. It's a clean slate. If there was any tampering, it wasn't at this end."

Clark nodded. The Tesseract was indeed a doorway to the other end of space, and a door opened from both sides. There was indeed a possibility that it was triggered by another source – a source with possibly another Infinity Stone in its possession.

"Doctor, it's acting up again," the NASA scientist muttered as he looked toward Erik, who continued to clack away at the keyboard. His eyes shot open wide as he stared at the monitor. It seemed his worst nightmare had come to life.

A loud crackle filled the air as the facility thundered. The Tesseract jolted with lightning, and not one person, no matter where on the facility, was left without feeling the effects.

Shocked, Diana, Maria, Betty, Erik, and the NASA scientists stared at the flaring rings and the bright flow being emitted out of the Tesseract, much like a Nebula. It was then that Diana notices something peculiar – a build-up of energy in the tesseract which coalesced into a multicolored beam resembling the Bifrost of Asgard.

Suddenly, the multicolored beam collided with the metallic stage set up on the opposite end of the hall, sending debris flying into the air. A swirling vortex of raw energy gave way to a portal, dark and mysteriously blue, and everyone was easily able to make out the inky blackness of space with billions of stars strewn into it. That was all they could see when a powerful gust of blue energy clouds filled the room, blinding everyone.

Unbeknownst to everyone in the hall, the Tesseract's energy and the blue clouds collided with the vacuum chamber ceiling, and through the haze, nothing could be seen. All they could hear was heavy breathing that followed the abrupt quietness.

SHIELD agents on standby were the first to step forward, weapons trained at the shadow of the figure now visible through the dissipating clouds.

The figure stayed crouched on the metallic stage for a few seconds, breathing heavily, and slowly stood up. Diana's breath caught in her throat when she saw who it was. With his mischievous smile plastered on his face, an Asgardian helm adorning his head, and a golden scepter in his hand, there was no mistaking the God of Mischief.

"Loki," Diana greeted him in a measured tone.

Loki looked over at Diana and before anyone could even blink, a bolt of glowing blue shot out of his scepter toward the woman whose eyes widened before she quickly brandished her glowing gauntlets, meeting the bolt with her beam of gold. The ensuing explosion sent crackling sparks throughout the room, making everyone shiver.

Machine gun rounds fired at Loki from different directions, but the bullets bounced off him upon impact. In no time, he had his assailants down and he jumped off the stage, stalking forward.

"Agent Hill, evacuate the scientists and the non-combatants as soon as possible," Diana instructed with a glare at Loki who smirked at her.

In under a minute, the lab was almost unrecognizable. Bullet shells adorned the floors while a majority of computers and other equipment had been destroyed, sending debris flying around. Live wires shot sparks over the floor as Maria Hill quickly ushered Betty and the other NASA scientists out of the hall.

"Doctor Selvig!" Maria shouted for the old man who had remained rooted to his spot all the while. Without even listening, Erik turned around and walked through the opposite exit, leaving them staring at him in surprise. Loki kept his smirk on.

"It doesn't have to be like this, Loki," Diana's voice was firm and unwavering.

"Of course it does, Diana," Loki replied with a smile. "I've come too far to turn back. Now that I've found my true purpose, there is no other path I'd rather choose."

Before Diana could reply, Loki turned to the side where the Tesseract was set up.

"Please don't, miss," he said softly. "I still need that."

Betty had just put the Tesseract in its case when the floor behind her exploded, sending her flying against the opposite wall which she crashed against with a painful grunt.

"I heard about you," Diana began, staring at Loki who turned to look at her. "There is still time, Loki. Not all has been lost. Asgard is still your home. You can go back, and Odin will welcome you with open arms."

Loki scoffed derisively.

"And why should I grovel in front of him as if I've done something wrong, hmm? No, Diana. It's too late for reconciliation. I have chosen my path, and there's nothing else left to be said."

Before she could react, Loki disappeared from sight, and in no time, scores of his doppelgangers appeared all around her. Glaring, she held her arms out and fired golden beams at them, obliterating each copy before grunting out in pain when a bolt of yellow energy hit her right in the solar plexus. She bent over in pain.

"Human constitution. No matter how resilient your powers make you, the vitals are still the same," Loki chuckled, before quickly ducking under a malicious beam of red that tore through the air, hitting the wall behind him and piercing through. "And here comes the consort."

Turning around, Loki came face to face with a glaring Clark Kent and two more young men. One of them had an arrow pointed at him.

"You think that's going to do anything?" He asked, amused. "And I guess the Kryptonian is still here, hmm?"

Clark ignored the look of derision Loki directed at him and instead opted to warn him.

"I don't care about your conflict with Odin and the Asgardian Royal Family, but Earth has no interest in getting involved, Loki. It would be in your best interests to go while you still have the chance," Clark said stoically.

"Big words from someone who got his arse kicked by me the last time we clashed," Loki mocked with a derisive smile. "What makes you think you could take me on, Superman? Pray tell, you are not counting on this little band of simpletons to help you do it, or are you?"

Loki slapped an arrow away, noticing its speed and accuracy, and the feeling it inspired.

"Arrows that can electrocute?" He asked in mirth. "I'm afraid you have to do better than that."

He was immediately struck by Diana from behind. With a grunt, he collided with the wall and got up.

"You always were the sneaky one," he chuckled, looking at the woman.

"You're one to talk," she retorted. Immediately, a three-on-one battle ensued and Loki was quickly sent on the defense. Clark was more of a nuisance, but he was still a bother. Loki was surprised to see his mystic attacks having very little effect on the man who used to be so severely affected by them the last time they had fought on Asgard in a mock battle.

Diana was as formidable as always, and the one he was having the hardest time with. Still, it was not too bad, considering he was effectively keeping them at bay. His trustworthy scepter was too powerful to be affected by either Diana's powers or that of the Kryptonian.

Suddenly, the wind was knocked out of his lungs as a vicious kick sent him flying into the wall where he collided with a shocked gasp. Breathless, he looked over and saw a hulking green creature glaring at him.

"You filthy creature," Loki snarled and immediately cloned himself. The Hulk looked around and started to smash one clone after the other while the others quickly began dealing with the others.

"You have heart," Loki whispered suddenly in Clint's ear, and before the Hawk could even react, an invisible Loki placed the tip of his scepter on his forehead. His eyes went black.

"Go on, take the Tesseract with you. Dear Erik is already waiting for you outside," Loki whispered.

Everyone looked on in shock as Clint suddenly fired an exploding arrow in the middle and quickly grabbed the case the Tesseract was placed in.

"Agent Barton!" Clark shouted and made to give chase. However, he was suddenly tackled by the Hulk and grunted under the powerful impact.

"Clark!" Diana shouted. She doubled over when Loki hit her in the solar plexus once again.

"I would've said it was a pleasure to see you again," Loki smirked at her. "But I'd be lying. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other soon though, if you manage to survive what's coming."

Diana breathed harshly, grunting in pain as the Hulk continued to rampage around the hall.

"This place is going to blow," Clark whispered, staring wide-eyed at the building energy of the portal as it started to collapse on itself. Looking at the rampaging Hulk, Clark fired a concentrated beam right at its head before flying forward and raining down punches and kicks on the Hulk who kept trying to hit back, to no avail.

"We don't have much time!" Diana shouted as the energy continued to build up.

"Grab his arms, Diana!" Clark commanded, and Diana quickly flew forward, forcefully grabbing the Hulk's flailing arms while Clark grabbed his legs, grunting under the strain of a thrashing Hulk trying to free himself. A concentrated beam of red created a massive hole in the ceiling, and the pair wasted no time, flying through the hole and right into the night sky.

It was only a few moments later when a massive vortex of glowing blue energy enveloped the facility which collapsed on itself, sending chunks of concrete high up into the air in the form of a dust cloud as a massive crater formed spanning the diameter of the entire research center and its compound.

"On the count of three!" Clark shouted as they continued ascending. "One! Two! THREE!"

With as much force as they could muster, Clark and Diana threw the Hulk as far and as high as they could, and the Hulk could only snarl in fierce rage as it was sent flying through the air at a breakneck pace.

"Agent Hill! Respond immediately!" Diana shouted in her earpiece as she and Clark flew toward where they had thrown the Hulk. A few seconds of static sounded before Agent Hill's tired voice came through.

"We barely managed to make it, Your Grace," the beautiful brunette muttered in her earpiece as she tended to Betty who had fractured ribs and ankle. "Don't move it too much. This makeshift cast will have to do until we get the doctors check on you."

Betty winced but nodded as Maria gently supported her body weight against her, leading the woman forward into the helicopter that would be taking them to the SHIELD Helicarrier for future deliberation.

"The Tesseract is with hostile. Barton has turned. What's the status with personnel?"

Maria's eyes widened at that, but she kept her cool. Gently helping Betty into the seat, she climbed beside her.

"The entire facility has been destroyed, Your Grace. We didn't manage full evac. Full number of casualties unknown at this point."

Diana closed her eyes and sighed.

"Tell Nick Fury to meet us at the Helicarrier in two hours and deploy every working personnel to look for the Tesseract across the globe, Agent Hill," Clark commanded over the earpiece. "And send a rescue team over to the destroyed facility to coordinate the operation."

"Do you have Doctor Ross with you?" Diana asked as she and Clark reached a small crater where the Hulk had fallen. The massive green creature was glaring up at them with rage. "We have a Hulk situation here."

"Ohh yess… right there," the sultry groan of one of his girlfriends prompted a raised eyebrow from Bruce as he entered his bedroom. Immediately, his eyes fell on one of the most erotic sights a man could ever see – a lovely redhead eating out a dark-haired woman whose toes curled as she fisted the hair in her hands, pulling the woman closer.

"I see all it takes is for me to leave you two for only a few minutes and you start without me," Bruce commented lightly from his spot against the wall which he was leaning against.

"No one's keeping you away," Selina retorted before letting out a keening sigh as Natasha continued to lap away at her folds.

Bruce chuckled. "Simply watching is another thrill in itself," he replied, walking over to the seat and making himself comfortable.

"Didn't know you had these voyeuristic tendencies," Selina grinned at him before quickly tapping her other lover twice on her head. The woman stopped and looked at her.

"Come on, I'll like to return the favor as well."

Chuckling, Natasha stood up and turned to look at Bruce who smirked up at her.

"Go on, I'm open to a show," he replied and leaned back, looking at her expectantly. Meanwhile, Selina also came over clad in her black dress sans panties.

As one, the two women turned around and unzipped their dresses, pulled the straps down before slowly dragging their dresses down their delectable bodies until it was bunched over the curve of their hips. Bruce relished the sight of their naked backs.

"A little help please," Natasha remarked cheekily as she looked back, and Bruce chuckled when both stepped back so that they were barely a hand away from him.

He quickly fisted their dresses in either hand and pulled them down their round asses, dropping them to the floor and leaving both women without a stitch of clothing on their bodies. The transparent elastic thong Nat was wearing was barely visible anyway.

His cock throbbing, he watched on as Selina laid back before gesturing for Nat to crawl on top of her. The redhead smirked and with a flourish, dragged her thong down her legs and threw it at him. Bruce made a deliberate show of sniffing it, coaxing a giggle out of her.

With a sway of her hips, Natasha climbed on the bed and crawled over Selina, her large tits dangling down and giving him a heavenly show as her legs found their place on either side of the brunette's head. Selina wasted no time and grabbed Nat's arse, sinking her fingers in the pillowy flesh and lowering her puffed lower lips over her mouth. Meanwhile, Nat winked at Bruce who chuckled and lowered her face to the brunette's pussy.

It was fascinating to be the one watching two women pleasure each other, and despite the throbbing of his cock, Bruce found himself getting more and more aroused as his two girlfriends continued to lick each other's pussies. He noticed how their bodies shook with pleasure and within no time, he had his cock out of his pants.

Out of the corner of her eyes, Natasha watched as Bruce started to stroke himself and pulled her head back to properly look at him.

"You have two inviting pussies waiting here for you and you're jerking off?" She asked in disbelief. "Know how disrespectful it feels?"

Bruce rolled his eyes and stood up. Coming over behind her, her rubbed the head of his cock against her rear door and leaned forward.

"I hope the invitation extends to this one as well," he chuckled, kissing her shoulder and rubbing the head over her asshole. Nat's response was to reach over and grab the bottle of lube to hand over to him.

Using a healthy amount, Bruce lined up against her and gave a push, popping the head inside and making her hiss over Selina's pussy. The brunette felt the effects as well, which in turn made Nat hiss again when her pussy was stimulated by the brunette's lips and tongue. A loop ensued as Bruce started to thrust inside her, making her moan and stimulate Selina's pussy, whose moans further stimulated Nat.

"Oh fuck yes…" Nat groaned and quickly went back to pleasuring Selina whose tongue never left its spot, continuously licking and sucking the redhead.

Natasha's hard suck around her clit finally did it for her, and with a loud wail, Selina reached her climax, shaking underneath the redhead who had to support herself against the bed with her hands as her man kept thrusting inside her ass relentlessly.

Bruce felt Selina take one of his balls inside her mouth and looked down into her aroused eyes. Smirking, he increased the pace, making the brunette struggle while Nat's wailing intensified.

"Oh fucking hell!" Nat cried out, flooding the brunette's face with her release as Bruce grunted behind her. She felt him pull out of her and before she could complain, he had turned her over so that both she and Selina were lying side by side.

Surprised, they had barely a moment to brace themselves as shot after shot of his hot, potent cum splashed their breasts and necks. They heard him grunt and looked at him.

Panting, Bruce dropped onto the bed and looked at them with a smile.

"I hope you've got a few more rounds in that gun of yours," Selina remarked with a chuckle.

"Don't worry. Give me a couple of minutes a—"

Whatever he was about to say was cut off as Natasha's communication device buzzed. The redhead was on the move instantly, bolting over naked to the table and bending down to take it out of the pocket of her dress.

Meanwhile, Bruce had his eyes fixed on the Batsignal that was hovering outside the window in the sky.

"There is an emergency," Nat said simply. Bruce nodded.

"Looks like the fun would have to wait," Selina chuckled and got up. "Come on, let's get ourselves cleaned and we can go see what's this about."

Natasha exchanged a concerned look with Bruce who walked over and took her hand. Together, they followed Selina to get on with it.
