(3rd PoV)
"Bucky, I need your help. Jean has Hulk under her control. And she has killed innocent activists.
President ordered me to arrest her."
Bucky gave him the 'Are you serious?' look to Sam.
"If she has Hulk under her control, there is nothing I can do. How can controlling Hulk be even possible... unless..."
"Mind control. The same thing like Wanda."
Sam then called Wanda.
It was unreachable.
"Seems like she is still trapped in that mysterious hex."
He didn't have the number of Dr Strange.
Maybe Pepper has it?
He called Pepper.
"Yes. Sam! How are you?"
"I am fine. Umm, do you know how Stark defeated Hulk when the whole Ultron fiasco was happening?"
"... What happened?"
"A girl with Telekinesis apparently can also mind control people. She even killed a bunch of innocent people. I need to arrest her."
Pepper, who was in her office, exhausted due to work and her daughter, immediately called Rhodey.
"We can't beat Hulk ourselves as long as he is under mind-control. Tony said that Hulk only snapped out of it after Hulk-buster was almost destroyed in holding him down."
Rhodey's call connected, "Pepper, Sam, I heard about it.
I am heading to Hawaii, which is the closest to the island Hulk is on. Sam, meet me there. Pepper, send the Hulk buster suit and try to contact Dr Strange and Spider-Man.
Is Wanda still not available? What the hell is happening in that hex?"
Pepper nodded.
"I am sending Hulk-buster there. But... I don't have contact number of Dr Strange. I am contacting Asgard so that we can get Thor here. He is the only one who can handle Hulk...
Wait... There is something wrong..."
Pepper pulled the Stark satellite images and watched what was happening with Hulk.
A girl, most likely the one in question, appeared out of nowhere, while Bruce was preparing the Time Machine.
But then, Bruce suddenly became enraged, just like his Hulk times and smashed the Time Machine. And when he tried to attack the girl, Hulk reverted into Bruce in his human form. And then they headed inside the building.
"Friday, hack and get me the CCTV footage of the building."
"Processing...
... Outside capabilities. Firewall can't be breached."
Of course! Because Tony himself designed the Firewall without any AI in fear of Ultron or something like that breaching it! It is the most secure building for storing the time machine afterall!
"Guys, I think it is Bruce who is under mind-control, and Hulk is fighting it. That's why Bruce has reverted to his human state.
And she not only has Telekinesis and Mind Control, but some sort of appearing and disappearing ability as well. I am sending you the footage."
Afterall, magic can't be captured on cameras. And that includes Dr Strange too.
Rhodey groaned.
"It hasn't been even a month since we fought Thanos."
On the other hand, just as President was considering asking Xavier and other Mutants to get on the case, the X-mansion got destroyed.
Magneto has woken up. And he was really angry.
And Captain America and his partner Battlestar, who has just busted the creator of the Super Soldier serum these terrorists were using, found him dead, turned around and saw Jean Grey.
In his intercom, Ross's order came.
"Stop pursuing Flag-smashers for now. Go to Hawaii and join Colonel Rhodes. Jean Grey has mind controlled Hulk. And she seems to also have a teleportation ability."
The 'Jean Grey', aka Phoenix, in front of him, said, "Cap, I intend to take control of Flag-smashers. They may have done some horrible things, but GRC is also in the wrong.
We should work together on a solution that works for everyone.
If you support me, I will give you Super Soldier Serum."
'Jean', who is actually Mystique, didn't know that the creator of Super Soldier Serum is dead. And that the 'missing' Jean is actually one of the few people who knew who made the serum and where he was when Carli was interrogated.
So to Captain America, it clearly sounded like blackmail.
Just as he threw his shield at 'Jean', in the outside world, someone close to President Ross in Pentagon leaked everything on Discord.
In minutes, in every media, Jean Grey, aka Phoenix, was showed as the most wanted terrorist who has mind-controlled the world's hero, Hulk.
---------------------
Meanwhile, Jean was doing Yoga with Bruce, while worrying about how to tell her Dad that it will take much longer to bring back her Mom and Sis.
Dr Strange has returned to the Sanctum.
Jean's phone buzzed with notifications, and as she was about to bring it from the table to her with Telekinesis, Banner interrupted her.
"If you loose focus this easily, you will never be able to beat Phoenix.
If you want to develop Telepathy to the fullest, you need to have calm and collected mind. Not that I know Telepathy.
Alright. Try to keep the waves coming from your mind, detected in this instrument steady, and slowly make it rise from 0. Don't flip the switch all at once.
Take a deep breath.
Inhale.
Exhale."
