Chapter 26

The older looking Wolverine nodded in reply, "I do, but he made it pretty clear I need to go through a few others to get that shot." The older Wolvie started forward at Logan, but it was clear he was not as fast ( Logan, actions?)

"Well, the computers are reading some strange residual energy, Clarice. Possibly from whatever took Logan.

"Cap, if I already had the toughest Sabertooth, I'd want the toughest Logan too, but not for them to work together. This stinks of some kind of sick game if you as me." Hawkeye said, folding his arms. Then he scowled at Gaby as she blew her bubble pipe, "Do you realize how annoying that is?"

*********

Tabitha looked at Spidey, but he could see his comforting was not having a lot of help. " We're all menaces to them, just the media has a hate on for you more than the rest of us. For me it's our own kind I have problems with."She swallowed hard, indicating she was getting closer to the reason she was upset. She took a deep breath and added, "Did you know Daredevil is an asshole, and if I ever see him again, it will be too soon?" As spidey started to the fridge, he could see a puddle forming below it from whatever was dripping out."

"A game?" Cap strokes his chin. "Bill, cross check the energy signature against our files. I have an idea whom we might be dealing with - and if I'm right, we might need all hands on deck."

"Weapon X programs over several realities had logan and sabretooth as a team..but I think you maybe on to something, hawk. It seems to me one could get a realities weapon X team or other group and use them just as easily. We should probably be open to both possibilities to be safe. we just had the Hydra avengers show up." she adds with a nod then grins at DP.


"I think the pipe suits you." Blink adds with a smile at DP then looks back at Hawkeye.

"A game seems right, too. Look at the local prime time. we have Big Brother and survivor. Those reality shows pull in ratings and cash based on competition. They put people against each other for entertainment we're not much better than the Romans..we just don't give them swords and tridents." she shrugged

"You married?" he asks, claws extending, circling around.

Gabby rolls her eyes at Hawkeye. "Someone's cranky! Where's your sense of whimsy?" Gabby brightens and says "Oh, I understand what your problem is." Disappearing again for a few moments, Gabby reappears with a set of clothing similar to her own, only in male sizes and hands them to Hawkeye along with a hat and bubble pipe. "There! Now you can be as cool as me! Well," Gabby trails off "in truth, no one will ever be as cool as I am, but hey, you can give it a try!" Gabby then peeks over the Bill's shoulder as he works on the computer. "Whatcha doing? What kind of weird signature? Who do you think did this?" Gabby asks Steve.

Johnny continues doing maintenance, on the bikes in the in the garage. "At least it's quiet in here and no one is in a bad mood." Johnny talks to himself as he works. "You guys..." Johnny talking to the motorcycles. "...are at least glad to see me, aren't you? Sure you are."

Ben turned and looked at Cap after his suggestion. "I found Logan's card. It's in Nebraska. I tried tracing for energy signals like you suggested, and you're not going to like it. It's a match for Grandmaster."

"You mean the inter-dimensional crazy with a thing for games?" Clint asked, looking at the others. "Blink, if it is, we have bigger worries than reality tv."

"Not quite the analogy I would use, but yes, him."

"Is it too late to transfer to Tony's team?" Clint scowled as he looked at the jacket and hat Gaby gave him, then shook his head. "No. Gaby, just no."

********

Lucky for Johnny, the motorcycles did not answer. He also quickly found that Hawkeye's bike was in serious need of some TLC, just the kind of project he was looking for, as Jarvis had suggested.

*********

"Bub, this ain't the time for small talk." The grizzled looking Wolvie replied. " So put up or shut up." He lunged forward with his raking for Logans chest

"Hawk, you would look fine in it...pipe and all. Had I not promised Janet I'd wear what she designed I'd go with the suit and Pipe. Its a classic. Pretty sure Blake would tell me to get trench coat though..SCU detectives are pretty bland in there look." she counters with a slight smirk, "If he's into games what is the motive? and do we have a file on the grand-master? if so can call it up for us, Bill"

"Where do you get those suits, DP?" she asked out of curiosity while waiting on the others.1d20·1d20·1d100

"Alright folks, we've got to get to Nebraska. I'll prep the Quinjet. Bill, I'll need you to track everything you can. The rest of you, gear up." Cap barks as he stands up.

[kurff]

"Time to see if Janet Came up with something or if I improvise. soon as I can get a read of that file if we have one on the grandmaster.." Blink grins.

Johnny continues working in the garage. Wondering where Logan went. He might not be helping someone, right now, but he is helping something.

[HSummers]

Spidey thinks to himself ~Ew, the fridge is leaking~. Avoiding the puddle, he goes to grab something out of it that the two of them can snack on.

"Hornhead? Yeah, he's never been the nicest guy. Pretty much every time I see him, he's just telling me to shut up. You talk too much webhead. Pay attention to the mission Spider-Man... Anyway, I'm sorry that things didn't work out with him. You seemed pretty happy. For you, that is."

[dakota]

Tabitha did not want to get up. "How would Mrs. Spidey react if you called her Gwen while you were..," she trailed off with a shrug. "That's what he did to me. He called me Natasha. I'm assuming he meant Widow, but I really don't care. I ... I just left without a word. Grabbed my clothes and used my powers to go through the walls and get out of there. If I ever here from him again, it will be too soon."

She looked up and flinched, " Yeah, Jarvis is gonna be mad at me over that." Most everything on the door was either broken or spilt as Spiderman opened the door, causing a much bigger mess when the door was opened.

As he closed the door, both their pockets began to beep. "And saved from the butler by some crisis. Hopefully work takes my mind off things." Tabitha said, getting to her feet with a scowl before following Spidey from the kitchen.

***********

Johnny found the first problem with Hawkeye's bike fairly quickly, when the starter wiggled under his touch. The fact that it was starting at all was a surprise. Before he could continue his repairs however, the Avenger's Communicard Cap himself had given Johnny began to beep, the signal for all team members to assemble.


***********

Bill nodded to Blink, "I'll call up the file and transfer it to the QuinJet so you can read it on the way. Cap can fill you in as well, he has tangled with Grandmaster a few times now."

"Yeah." Clint agreed, sounding less than enthusiastic. "Long story short. He pitting people against each other to play games. Creed and now Logan and possibly Alex, sounds like he is building himself a team for one of his games." He was already going to change. "Gabby, tell me you aren't going as Sherluck."

Bill spoke up. "Steve, text from Melissa. She is on her way from whatever she was helping Cage with. She says to pick her up on the way. No answer from Daredevil. I would almost say his card is turned off."

"Thanks, with all this reality travel I can never be sure what they look like. A real hassle. Nebraska? If I can recommend and not seem too bitc...er overly opinionated..Can we have the Quinjet loaded with some arctic survival gear as well in case we crash, Bill?" she answered.

The name Grand Master did ring a bell but with each reality it was a crap shoot. The only real consistency was powers certain personality traits. At least she wouldn't be bored and hopefully find Havok if the X-Man was still missing. That would good to get that 'psychotic' Polaris off her watch list.

Once in her attire and knowing they were going into a possible competition Blink grabbed a few flash bangs (if available), and some throw-able items for tactical use (Knives, stars and other incendiary or Gimmick if available). If she'd did have the time get the mansion to make a pair of crystal climbing daggers to charge for scaling walls easier. Among other items specific to this mission. (see below)

Her attire this mission included a Diver suit designed for the colder areas. Not entirely sure they would remain in Nebraska Blink reasoned she may be forced to swim in cold water. a suit like this would help deal with cold easier.


Request for gear:
-four of knives for climbing and defense (on wrist sheathes to also parry blades with her forearms when sheathed. 2 in a boot boots in case a spare set is needed or her other two are taken.)
-a field bow construction kit (equipment like Duct Tape, a set of arrowheads, bowstring, sharpening stone, compound bow pulley/rigging and feathers.) She does have archery skill and is willing to use as a back up weapon or to save javelins in prolonged combat.
-field survival belt she normally on her own earth. (Wilderness survival stuff)
-2 leg braces and a combat quiver to maneuver better. (24 in total: 12 in quiver 6 each leg)
-Some Hand warming packs to keep warm and pass out to other avengers if needed. not in the display case or box.1d20·1d20·1d100
