## Dialogue

 Thing: Thanks fer the help’n hand Namor.
 Human Torch: Don’t thank him Ben!
 Human Torch: I’m not buying this whole “rehabilitated convict” act one bit! For all we know, he set up that ambush.
 Namor: Ungrateful whelp! We were safe here until you showed up!
 Invisible Woman: This isn’t like the old days Johnny. Namor and I have been through a lot together. He’s grown into someone more level-headed. Someone I can count on...
 Namor: ...I’m going to investigate near the rift for salvage. Perhaps something of use came through with the rest of you.
 Human Torch: Not alone you’re not! Summoner, I am telling you, we cannot let this guy out of sight.
 Ant-Man: Why don’t we go with him then? I’m sure more hands will make for lighter work.
 Silver Surfer: I will stay behind. There is still much to discuss between Susan and I.
 Namor: Very well. We depart immediately.

 Caption: Outside the palace, in the ruins of Atlantis...

 Namor: You should all be cautious while you are here. Atlantis may be in ruins, but it is still home to hidden horrors which lay in wait.
 Human Torch: You can say that again...
 Namor: I understand your mistrust Johnny, but years spent among the remnants of my kingdom has given me a refined perspective.
 Namor: I only wish to return to my people, and lead them on a path divergent from this ruinous reality.
 Namor: Susan and I share much in that regard...
 Human Torch: Don’t you dare compare yourself to her! Sue’s the kindest, strongest woman I know, and you’re a serial-backstabbing, genocidal maniac.
 Human Torch: I can’t count how many times you’ve betrayed us, let alone how many times you have straight-up kidnapped my sister in a sick attempt to make her love you.
 Thing: Whoa Hothead, ease up on da throttle a little.
 Human Torch: I will never trust you Sub-Mariner.

 Silver Surfer: I am inclined to agree with Jonathan. The Sub-Mariner is not someone I would trust under normal circumstances.
 Invisible Woman: Well these have hardly been “normal circumstances”. You don’t know what it’s been like here. Fighting for survival out there was nothing compared to the loneliness in here...
 Invisible Woman: Despite everything, Namor has been nothing but supportive and respectful.
 Invisible Woman: I know it pains him to be away from his people, but I’ve started to think being made king was more damaging than dehydration ever was.
 Silver Surfer: Have you and he become...
 Silver Surfer: ...close?
 Invisible Woman: I don’t like your tone Norrin. I have never given up on Reed. And I never will. But Namor is here now, and together we’ll find a way back to the people we love.

 Caption: Back in the depths of Atlantis...

 Ant-Man: ...while we devotin’ full time to floatin’ under the sea...
 Thing: You say somethin’ Scott?
 Ant-Man: Nuth’n! Just, humming to myself. You know, looking for gadgets and gizmos aplenty.
 Thing: Well lend me a hand ova here. I think I’ve found a big ‘ol stash of thingamabobs in all this rubble.
 Ant-Man: Looks like at least 20! I think I see something else under there though...

 Namor: All I have ever done was in the service of those under my care. Right now that means finding a way for us to escape, and I don’t require your trust to do that Johnny.
 Namor: I just need you to stay out of my way, because no matter the cost, I will return us to the lives we were so cruelly plucked from.
 Ant-Man: Uh, Thing? Some...thing, I mean something not you, is moving under that rubble...
 Human Torch: Save the grandstanding Namor! Tiger sharks don’t change their stripes and-
 Abomination: **RRRRAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!**
 Thing: What a revolt’n development!
 Namor: Benjamin! What have you done?!
 Abomination: Where am I?! Gha? The Summoner?! Is this some sorta bad dream? ‘Cause if it is...
 Abomination: ...I’m gonna enjoy being your worst nightmare!
