The fight started with only seven basketball sized disks. Now as Pamplemousse clung to Bruce after he transformed back into himself and Toni held on to her dad for dear life, fifteen disks hovered around them with lights and whirring making it nearly impossible to concentrate on anything.

Cj strolled up to them, smirking evilly as the last three basketball sized disks hovered behind her.

"Silence," she practically hissed. All fifteen disks fell silent so only their lights confirmed their presence.

"Beautiful, aren't they?" she mused in front of the heroes. "Their only job is to be indestructible. I feel as though they're doing a great job so far."

"Cj?" Toni asked in a flabbergasted manner. "What's going on? I don't understand."

"Of course you don't," she replied over confidently. "You're not supposed to, you dumb broad."

"Don't you dare call her a dumb broad, you bitch!" Tony yelled as he took a step forward. One of the newly formed softball sized disks shocked him and caused his suit to spark.

"Sir," JARVIS chimed. "I wouldn't suggest touching the disks. They're charged with high voltage electricity that could severely damage the suit."

"Thanks for the warning," he mumbled as he stepped back in line.

"You should be proud, Stark," Cj said with great conviction. "That was a feature added especially for you!"

"Cj!" Pamplemousse shouted in tears. "Why would you want to hurt us?"

"Why wouldn't I? All of you are weak, pathetic, and stupid!"

"Well fuck you too!" Clint shouted as he loosed an arrow in her direction.

She dodged smoothly and calmly, barely missing the arrow. The disk directly behind her, unfortunately, did not. The arrow went completely through the center of the blue light, which fizzled and burned out.

All the Avengers cowered, waiting for three more to take its place. When nothing happened, everyone, including Cj, stared at the broken disk in shock.

"Shoot them in their light source! Do it now!" Steve shouted as he threw his shield at one of the basketball sized disks.

The shield bounced off the metal and Cj ducked to avoid being hit. "No!" she screamed to no one in particular. "Attack!" she shouted at the disks.

The blue light brightened and the whirring got louder as all fourteen of the disks started to close the distance.

"Today is the day the Avengers die!"

Loki stepped forward and looked at Cj. "Not today." Then, he pulled back and let loose a powerful beam of magic that ripped through four or five of the disks, leaving them piles of broken and useless metal.

The others followed suite and aimed directly for the center of light, killing them each time.

"No!" Cj shouted. "No!"

After all the disks had been broken, Clint walked up to Cj and knocked her out with a swing of his bow to her face.

"I finished the diagnostics and it doesn't look good."

Tony crossed the lab and looked over Bruce's shoulder. "How bad?"

"Bad," Bruce said somberly. "As in, Green Goblin tech."

"Goblin?" Clint asked in disbelief. "I thought he was dead."

"He is," Natasha interjected. "He was crushed under a truck which promptly exploded."

"Then how is his tech still around? I mean, this is obviously the handiwork of Norman Osborn himself."

Cj moaned as she started to come to. Everyone immediately surrounded her with questions at the ready.

She looked up at then and moaned once more. "Whats going on, guys?" she asked shakily.

"Why did you attack us?" Clint asked sternly. "Who sent you?"

"You were attacked? I don't remember anything."

"Bull," Clint spat.

"Seriously," Cj said. "I was out buying a coffee and bam, I'm here."

"You're kidding, right?" Tony said with amazement.

"Why would I joke about something like that?" Cj asked in all seriousness. "If you guys got attacked, then it's definitely no laughing matter."

Everyone in the lab shared a look of bewilderment. "What do you think happened?" Brooke asked from behind Thor, who had his hammer in hand.

"I don't know," Cj said earnestly. "It felt kind of like...someone was playing around with my mind."

Clint and Natasha paled simultaneously and shared a nervous glance. "Like..." Nat gulped and let out a shaky breath. "Possession?"

"I...I think so," Cj said shakily. "I think I was possessed."
