Retreat To H.A.T.T.Y. (And To Safety)
15 minutes later,
The Hockey Avengers, including the two newcomers, are all gathered in the lobby of H.A.T.T.Y. Everyone is arguing and shouting at each other. Kelly Mackinnon is with them. What are they going to do about the new threat against the world? Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin dart into the room.
"What's going on in here?" Sidney demands to know.
Everyone turns to look at him.
"Rob Gronkowski, the tight end for the New England Patriots is wrecking Downtown Boston and smashing everything in sight!" Tyler tells him. "He kept shouting out 'Gronk Smash' as he moved and wrecked something!" He begins to mimic the big footballer, looking more like a clumsy ape man, as he growls, "Gronk Smash!"
"We tried to stop him, but he was too powerful!" Jonathan states, folding his arms across his chest. "And Kaner...he-he...was killed..." He chokes on the agony he feels.
"He seems to be controlled by someone or something. He doesn't know who he is or what he is doing!" Evelyn says, looking at Val to her side.
"I tried to wreak chaos, but he's - as everyone has said - too powerful, even for me!" Vlad remarks, looking to his feet ashamed. He has calmed down a lot since having a rivalry with Gabriel, who pats his shoulder. Or he is just in a shocked point of time. Still they are both calm about being together.
"John tried to teleport him away from Boston but..." Jamie begins to say before he steps to the side and reveals John Tavares, who is clinging to Nikita Nesterov. He looks terrible, his hair is messy and he has a black eye and his leg is twisted in a painful-looking way.
"What happened to Portal?" Kelly asks out of concern, having missing out on the explaination earlier.
"Gronk stopped my teleportation and slammed me into a building and then the ground and then threw me across the street, into a car. I tried to teleport myself to safety, but there was a glitch and I hit the car with a thud. It was super painful. I don't recommend it." John clenches his teeth and grips tighter to his crutches as a wave of pain fills him. "You can bet Nesty had no chance against the brute tight end."
Nikita Nesterov looks at his feet and nods. "It true. No strong enough." He is instantly comforted by his fellow Lightning teammate, Vladislav Namestnikov.
"So how are we going to combat this monster?" Sidney asks. "Or more like, how are YOU going to combat the monster?"
Evelyn turns to her posse of hockey players. Val looks at Nikita Zadorov and they share a look and shrug. Ben Smith screws his face up in thought. Tyler turns to Jamie and whispers something to him, pointing at Kelly.
Kelly catches them and sighs. "Tyler Seguin, what are you possibly thinking?" she asks him, rolling her eyes and then twirling a strand of her long curly bleach blonde hair in her finger.
Tyler and Jamie stop talking and everyone's eyes are soon quickly focused on them. Jamie speaks first. "Tyler and I have an idea. It sort of involves you Kelly, but we are thinking, since Gronk seems to be hypnotized or something, maybe we should attack from the inside and get close to him...you know?"
"Isn't seduction Brooke's job?" Kelly questions.
"Hey!" Zady snaps. "Leave Brooke out of this. She no here. She busy at work."
"Not seduction...see we were thinking, well it was Tyler's idea..." Jamie continues, trailing off and looking at his friend.
Tyler picks up for his awkward friend and says, "I was thinking we could borrow and use Vladimir Tarasenko...?" He flashes a smile and looks at Kelly, who frowns and gives him a stern, scolding glare. "Look, you don't have to agree...it was just an idea! Don't curse me or turn me into a dog!"
Evelyn nods her head. "It's not a bad idea actually, Kels. Sometimes Tyler's genius can show up!"
"Evelyn..." Tyler growls.
"Relax danger-prone spy boy. I was considering we send you to get close, but then again, you've had enough bondage moments in this series already and you are one of the main Hockey Avengers. Gronk and whoever is controlling him would sniff that out and kill you within seconds. And as much as I hate to admit it, we do need you...alive. Tara would be excellent for this, since he's not one of us and he's a mortal. And we can make sure that he remains unharmed. If things go awry, we'll move in and get him out at once!"
Kelly looks between Evelyn, Tyler and Jamie. She closes her eyes. Sidney leans over and whispers to her, "It's a pretty solid idea. Maybe run it by Tara though."
There is a brief moment of silence, before Kelly snaps her eyes open and smiles. "You all are right. But I'm going to run it by him. If he says no, drop it, okay? Otherwise, I won't tell him what to do or stop him, but do keep him safe...because if you don't, Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn, I'll turn you both into bugs and step on you!"
Tyler and Jamie nod. "Message recieved Kelly."
Evelyn orders everyone to break apart and "disassemble".
