01x04 - Cap and America Chavez! | Marvel Rising Ultimate Comic: America Chavez

[bunniefuu]

[wrench cranking]

I just showed that carburetor who's boss. You're welcome.

Never doubted that you would.

Now get out of here. Your shift was over an hour ago.

Then who will you show off your epic break dancing moves to?

Hey, I got my cars.

They're the best audience in the world.

You really do need to get out more.

[Wilson] So, any special plans tonight?

Romancing a date at the top of the Empire State Building?

Tostones from the truck on 4th?

Just taking the bike out for a ride.

Aw, again?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

It's just, you know, I don't know.

Someone like you should be going places.

[America] The beauty of just going for a ride

is that you don't have to go anywhere.

[Wilson] You got potential, America.

You could have a real future. A bright one.

All those things you can do,

you don't want to end up a lonely grease monkey.

Trust me.

There are plenty worse things to be.

You're cut out for more than this.

I'm sure your family would agree.

I'm sure they'd want the best for you.

[America] Too bad they're not here to put in their two cents.

[engine revs]

[car horns honking]

What's a girl got to do to find some open road?

[roaring]

Oh, boy.

Apparently a girl has to battle a hideous sea monster.

Right on.

[America grunts]

[snarls]

How's that float your boat?

[roars]

I would seriously consider finding a new dentist.

-[grunts] -[roars]

Maybe a new manicurist as well.

-[grunts] -[roars]

Okay, okay, I heard you the first time.

Take that, you overgrown salamander.

[roars]

Hmm?

[grunts]

Is that any way to treat a fellow New Yorker?

I think you owe him an apology.

I don't take orders from strangers.

Then allow me to introduce myself.

I am Attuma, a barbarian of the Skarka Tribe,

true born ruler of Atlantis, enemy of Namor the Sub-Mariner.

[scoffs]

Don't forget super modest and concise.

And you are?

[America] Toughest boricua this side of the Hudson?

People also call me America Chavez.

Nice to meet you, though I have a feeling

you won't feel the same way about me.

[grunts]

[grunting]

I take it back.

Not nice to meet you.

At all.

[Captain America] Looks like you could use an assist, kid.

I'm Captain America, by the way.

Yeah, I know.

And you are?

America Chavez.

Sorry to interrupt.

Nice to meet you, Miss Chavez.

America's fine.

Although I guess that might get confusing.

Just call me Cap.

It was brave of you to step in here

and protect all these innocent people.

Some might even call it heroic.

[America] You're the hero around here, not me.

Yeah, well, hero or not, I'd say we have some work to do.

Ahem.

Congratulations, Captain.

You've bested my foot soldiers.

I'm disappointed to see they left you standing.

Not by choice.

Let's see how you fair with me, dear Captain.

[grunting]

Us New Yorkers aren't partial to hostile invaders, you know.

[grunts]

That's why I chose local allies.

By spiking the surrounding rivers

with a mystical Atlantean elixir,

I've added something special to the genetic makeup

of resident amphibians,

like this Notophthalmus viridescenshere.

Noto-- what?

[roars]

[Attuma] What do you say we destroy two Americas with one stone?

[roars]

[both grunt]

[grunting]

[chuckles]

[grunting]

[snarling]

[roars]

[America] Thanks, but for the record,

I totally could've handled that without your help.

Sure, you could've.

Do I detect some sarcasm there?

Thankfully that was invented before the '40s.

Cap!

[gasps]

[grunts]

Aah!

[groans]

For the strong, silent type,

you sure like to hear yourself talk.

[engine revs]

[grunts]

Curses!

Thanks for that.

Sorry I couldn't protect your pal there.

Well, she's seen worse.

This is nice. Old-school.

[Captain America] I had S.H.I.E.L.D. use a '53

before they put all the bells and whistles on it.

Well, looks like you know your way around a two-cylinder.

[America] It's what I do.

[Captain America] Doesn't have to be.

You've got some keen battle instincts.

You just need a little polishing.

Polishing's overrated.

Not everyone has your kind of raw talent, America.

I just don't want to see you end up like Attuma.

Aimless wandering can get you into trouble.

That's a little extreme, don't you think?

Stranger things have happened.

In case you change your mind.

[America] I'll keep it handy.

I have to head back to Avengers HQ.

But maybe I'll see you out there sometime?

If you can keep up.

-[motorcycle engine revs] -Hasta.
