As Buck and Taylor stood frozen in fear, their eyes fixated on Nova's menacing figure. The knife glinted ominously as it swung back and forth in her hand, each movement calculated with a deadly precision. Time seemed to slow down, stretching the tension in the air to its breaking point.
But because Buck had honed his ability to control fear, he found himself capable of acting with remarkable precision and intelligence in the face of danger. As Nova lunged at him again, brandishing the gleaming knife, Buck's instincts kicked in, propelling him into a graceful leap that allowed him to evade the deadly strike effortlessly.
Undeterred by Buck's evasive maneuver, Nova persisted in her relentless pursuit. With a determined glint in her eyes, she launched herself towards him again, her movements swift and calculated. However, Buck's heightened senses and unwavering focus enabled him to anticipate her every move. In a split-second decision, he propelled himself into the air once more, his body soaring above Nova's desperate attempt to harm him.
The dance between predator and prey continued unabated as Nova made another desperate lunge towards Buck. This time, however, Buck had something different in mind. With a graceful twist of his body, Buck evaded Nova's attack and countered with a lightning-fast strike, leaving his opponent stunned and defeated.
"So sorry you had to do that, Rogers," Taylor whispered as he gently lifted Nova up and carefully rested her against the wall.
"Taylor, it's best if you leave Nova here until we can neutralize these dirtbags," Buck advised, his voice laced with concern. He scanned the room, assessing the situation and formulating a plan to ensure their safety. The sound of distant footsteps echoed through the corridor outside, reminding them of the imminent danger they were facing.
"Yeah," Taylor replied, a determined look in their eyes. "I'll do whatever it takes to get her out of this place as soon as humanly possible." The urgency in his voice was palpable, fueled by his deep sense of responsibility and love for Nova.
Buck's heart raced as he realized the gravity of the situation. The "dirtbags," as he had so aptly named them, were not just a mere annoyance anymore. They were a dangerous threat lurking right above them in the bustling Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. The thought sent shivers down his spine.
He glanced at Nova. She was oblivious to the imminent danger that loomed overhead. Buck knew that if any one of those mutants got close enough to her, they possessed the power to manipulate her mind and turn her into a ferocious maniac capable of killing them both in an instant.
Buck walked several feet down the dimly lit corridor, his heart pounding with a mix of determination and adrenaline. As he turned a corner, his eyes caught sight of something that made his heart skip a beat - a stairway shaft protruding from the wall. It seemed to beckon him, promising an opportunity to confront Mr. Mendez and his cohorts head-on.
Glancing back at Taylor and Nova, Buck knew he couldn't risk their safety by bringing them along. "Taylor, you stay with Nova," he instructed the astronaut firmly. "I'm going to climb up there and teach Mr. Mendez and his cohorts some lessons." His voice carried a steely resolve as he emphasized each word.
With renewed determination, Buck approached the stairway shaft cautiously. The walls were cold and damp, giving off an eerie vibe that sent shivers down his spine. Gripping the knife tightly in his hand, he began his ascent into the unknown.
