"Keeping the Dream alive."

"Whatever Thor can't do -- Hercules can accomplish more mightily!"
Hercules had made leaps and bounds in his personal growth as an Avenger in recent years, but one thing he still found it difficult to let go of was his pride; the hubris that threatened to drag him down so often in the past. It was a habit formed in his youth and refined throughout his many years as an adventurer, and something that nagged him incessantly no matter how hard he tried to suppress it. When Agger invoked the name of his precious family, it sparked something primal in the Olympian that he had to hold back. But it threatened to boil over now, especially as the grin on Agger's face grew wide. It was mocking. Agger had successfully goaded the hero, and when that realization dawned on Herc, his expression of rage subsided into one of shock. "Friend?"Powerful though he was, this unseen force's speed was something to be reckoned with; he felt a sharp push to his chest that sent him stumbling back a few paces, and Agger was pushed out of his grasp. Herc looked down, all around, and then straight ahead as a new voice emanated outward. The individual was clad in a bodysuit with a large letter "S" on the center, golden and black in coloration and almost glowing. He had golden eyes, long blonde hair, and a muscular physique. Moreso than that, his mere presence was one of power and strength; Hercules could feel this just by being near the man. Plus, he had managed to shove Herc back with little visible effort. Whoever this new arrival was, Herc thought he looked vaguely familiar, but even his Godly physiology couldn't quite put a finger on it. "Take me in?", Herc repeated in question, incredulously. His brows furrowed as he stepped a few paces forth. "You've not a single clue what you speak of, so-called Sentry. If you know my work, my deeds, my reputation, then you know I am not a man of dishonor. Agger is pure evil! He willingly subjects the masses to his pollution and rot without remorese! Surely, you must understand this?"Herc stopped his advance just a few yards short of Sentry and Agger. Then, his hands balled into fists, and his eyes narrowed. "Or are you simply one of his pawns meant to deter me? Another science project?"

While he hadn't worked with Hercules that often in the forgotten past, he did know of this man's ethical code. His morals were clear cut and to the point. If he saw something wrong, he planned to fix it. And yes, Robert would admit to himself that the pollution this island gave off would no doubt bring ruin to the planet. Whether that took decades or a couple of years was a hard to say, but a God like Hercules would be one to worry. Especially since immortal beings like him would be the ones left with the consequences of said ruined Earth. But the law was the law, and Sentry knew everyone had to obey them, even an Avenger. So he'd make his plea towards this former ally one last time. "I understand what you're saying. Believe me, I do, but this isn't the way to do things. Look around. I wasn't here to see the full picture, but the destruction around me doesn't help. If you remain calm and turn yourself in, I'm sure the authorities will have plenty of reason to hear your case."Sadly, the business tycoon behind him would try to egg Sentry on to escalate the situation rather than simmer it down. "That man there is a monster! You can't reason with people like him! Just hurry up and arrest him! Please! Before he kills me!"Dario was feigning his fear, but the performance seemed almost convincing. If it weren't for Reynolds listening in on his heartbeat, he'd almost swear the CEO was telling the full truth. But Norman gave the order, and Reynolds couldn't afford to act on his gut instinct. He needed to bring Hercules in, before things go from bad to worse.

"Whatever Thor can't do -- Hercules can accomplish more mightily!"
The Sentry at the very least had a semblance of reason; this much did something to ease Herc's frazzled nerves. But even his soft words and assurances weren't capable of quelling the Olympian's growing rage at the man who wantonly destroyed the very Earth he floated over. "The authorities?" Herc's brow quirked upward, and were he in a more joyous mood, he may have even let out a hearty laugh. "Take heed of where you stand, Golden Man; this is not a place where reason and justice blossom. Whatever authorities may come will no doubt be within the greedy cretin's pocket, paid to be silent and obedient! But the Might of Olympus can neither be bought nor paid off."Hercules took another couple steps forward. He seemed intent on not ceasing his advance, even if he didn't take a threatening stance. He pointed past Sentry to Agger. "Look how the cur feigns his fear," he scoffed, shaking his head, "'tis enough to make a man sick to his stomach. Were not laws meant to serve the people, not impede them? How can you stand to watch this evil fool get away with his disharmonious treatment of our planet because of legality? It makes you no better than him!"

There was a hidden smirk that barely appeared on Agger's face as Hercules went on about his spiel about true justice and what not. He knew a fight was about to brew in front of his eyes, one that would simply strengthen his case even further. Though he'd have to make sure he survived this initial encounter first. And that meant making sure Osborn's lapdog did his job. "Look, he's not stopping. Are you gonna keep having a casual conversation with the nutjob or are you gonna arrest him?The Sentry did keep note of the other Avenger walking towards Roxxon's CEO. Getting in between the two, he'd put a hand upon Hercules, aiming to hopefully end this conflict peacefully in some manner. "Look, how about we work this out in some way? Fighting is only gonna bring more trouble, not less. So how about you and I just leave this floating island...peacefully?"He'd make one last plea towards the Avenger, hoping the man would see reason. If not, things may end up getting quite chaotic to say the least.
