Welcome to the Jungle...
Who: Sharon Carter and the other freedom fighters.
Where: THE WOODS. The big bad scary woods!
When: Day 31
What: Escape attempt numero uno.
Sharon stands facing the forest, standing perfectly still and breathing calmly. One hand rests on her hip with her gun, the other is held in front of her face so she can see the comm. What no one on the comm can see is that she's also holding her knife. You can never be too careful when planning to take on unknown legions of men that had managed to capture the Hulk. And Natasha. And Tony Stark. And her aunt.
And a bunch of kids. And Barton. And a Steve.
Really, it's hard to tell where these people screwed up first. Messing with Sharon? Messing with the people around her? It doesn't matter. Either way, she's tired of sitting around and trying to learn information about them. They may know now as much as they ever will. And that means that they have to fight. As much as Sharon doubts they'll succeed, she also knows that they have to try. They can't just sit around like lemmings waiting for the food to run out.
She studies the gaps between the trees, then the trees themselves. The captives don't control the environment here. Dangers could be hidden anywhere here.
She may have waited too long to try this. People might be too weak from hunger, not at their best.
But they have to try.
No matter what happens, that's what it boils down to. They have to try.

Bruce’s request surprises him, but only for an instant. Only until he realizes that it doesn’t have anything to do with him personally and everything to do with keeping the town safe. Stick the most expendable person with the most unpredictable. If there’s an accident, nothing of value will be lost. And expendable or not, Tony isn’t afraid of the Hulk and Bruce knows it.
It’s best for the Hulk and the other townspeople if Tony plays babysitter.
He nods at Bruce, giving him only the most cursory of glances. It’s just enough to acknowledge the suggestion, before he looks at Sharon. “I’ll stay. I’ve worked with the Hulk before.” Not Big Green or any of the other nicknames Tony’s called him since he met him. Just the Hulk. Because he’s a part of Bruce, and he doesn’t expect the Hulk to want to deal with him either. Not if someone as mild mannered as Bruce can’t stand him.
