MALCOLM SALVATORE LAWRENCE HEAD SNAPPED OVER WHEN HE HEARD RODNEY'S VOICE.  There was another explosion.

"Yeah," Rodney, the War Machine, spoke. "don't start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome."

There was more explosions, and Malcolm searched in and listening for Sam's and Bucky's heartbeat. "I'm coming." Malcolm said before running off.

"Malcolm," Sam spoke through the coms. "no, we're okay."

"Malcolm!" Someone yelled, worried. 

Malcolm jumped out the window, rolling as he hit the floor. And running where he had heard heartbeats. He flinched when more explosions had gone off, covering his ears from how enhanced and loud the explosions had sounded. He shook his head, then continuing to run.

"Sam!" Malcolm yelled, running up to his friend as he stood by his side. "I don't even know why I was over there. I said I didn't want to leave your side." Malcolm looked at Sam, then turned to Bucky. "Like I've said, this asshole." He gestured to Sam.

Bucky gave a small smile.

Malcolm had ran down the grass island, Sam flew above him but he was still farther ahead than his best friend. Bucky to ran down the hill.

"How we looking, Bruce?" Natasha asked.

"Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of it." Bruce responded, from inside the Hulk buster. Then he yelled, as the thrusters of the suit in the hands and feet lifted him off of the flying air crafts. "Wow!" He laughed when he had found his footing with the suits heavy weight. "This is amazing, man. It's like being the Hulk without actually..." he grunted, falling over a rock in the suit. "I'm okay. I'm okay."

"Bruce," Malcolm spoke into his com, only having his ear piece so that he could speak to the others. He was able to hear them with his enhanced hearing. "trust me, I know how much of a hypocrite I am being by saying this...but now is definitely not the time for random conversations. You need to figure out how to do use that suit. That's the only reason I'm saying it."

"Both of you, quite." Rodney spoke, flying by Sam's side. "I've got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line."

The Wakandan warriors yelled and chanted as they all gathered and lined up.

"I know that I literally just lectured Bruce...but damn, why were all the other aliens aside from Loki and Thor fucking ugly?" Malcolm asked, which has gotten a few head turns.

A ship moved up, rumbling the ground as multiple others followed. Steve went back to Bucky's side. "They surrender?" The man asked.

"Not exactly." Steve replied to his best friend.

King T'CHALLA yelled,the armies behind his chanting the same words and hitting their spears on the ground.

"Well," Malcolm growled, fangs and claws appeasing as his eyes shifted to red. "if I die, everything is being left to Sam. Except the house, I've still got siblings living there."

"Now is not the time." Sam told his best friend as their enemy started to charge at them.

Malcolm gave a quick smile to Sam. "When is it ever?"
