Issue 27: Assault on Asgard!

[dakota]

I'm not chicken! I just..., Dammit Hawkeye, help me up." Tabitha sputtered, taking his offer when no one else did and holding her hand up for his help.

Once on, she held on tightly to stay there. "Sorry, we taught to deal with Sentinels close to the same way Thor wants to. Hit them them fast and hard head on, or run and let someone else who can deal with them. I do know my intangibility messes with their programming though. Maybe I play bait so the rest of you can hit them? Blink closing her portals when they are halfway through should handle some of them too. Or we can encourage Gabby to talk to them, eventually they will beg for mercy and surrender before they short curcuit." She grinned.

"Rather do recon first. Tangling with a Nimrod class sentinel and not knowing it, is less fun than it sounds."

[kurff]

"I agree with Wolverine, if a non-Mutant can do the recon that might help as well. If those units still have their mutant tracking systems online those us with mutant genes or powers will be detected instantly. A good team would be a local and an avenger with out powers if it can be done safely." she adds, her inner team leader starting to wake up.

"Tabitha, it is not about being scared or not. it is about being smart. We are all afraid. Fear is a friend and companion that aids in times of need...It warns us and give us strength in times of need. but back to the Sentinels..That portal idea would work...I can also put them in a loop..What was that D&D spell I used when I played the elf wizard at the palace? oh yes a maze spell...It should keep some of the sentinels tied up while we deal with villains." she agrees Tabitha.

[Sittingbull]

"Animals also sense fear. Just relax." *Johnny calls out while he keeps pace with the horses.* "The horse will naturally want to follow the rest, if not pull back on the reins to stop, hit them with your heels a couple of times lightly to speed up or get going, and left and right are the same. Avoid uneven ground."

[Mierin]

Gabby rolls her eyes at Blink's cliched speech about fear. "Speak for yourself. I'm not all that scared." Gabby boasts. She looks amused at Tabitha's suggestion of talking the Sentinels until they explode. "If my dad were here, we could do it together. That'd probably work."

[HSummers]

Spider-Man gives the team his two cents from his few Sentinel battles. "My experience with Sentinels has been that their sensors can be altered to target whoever they want. First it was mutants, then mutates like me. They could even be trained to track all baseline humans. The best way to take them down... besides throwing Wolverine at them, is to keep them off balance. Hit from multiple sides and they won't be able to adjust quickly enough to take us down."

Hawkeye listened to the others. "OK, so no mutants should go on the scouting trip because the Sentinels will detect them. And Probably the Asgardians - or those with Asgardian magic hammers." He pointed to Beta Ray Bill. "So you're all out too."

Atlas chimed in. "Boss I could-"

"-Yeah, I'm thinking the guy who turns into a giant won't be great for stealth in caves made for dwarves. Ditto people with say, glowing pink energy wings."

"You're running out of options." Songbird responded through gritted teeth.

"I know - basically my options are the guy who may or may not light his own skull on fire." He looked at Blaze. "Or...."

Hawkeye sighed as he looked at Spider-Man.

"...blast it, where's Cap when you need him?"

[kurff]

"Ghost rider and spiderman should be a good pair. Spider sense and heat to melt through snow and iced..." blink agreed.

[Mierin]

Glancing over at Hawkeye "or what? We're all falling asleep with the suspense."

[dakota]

"Hey, I can sneak in with them. Even if they detect me, they can't do anything to me if I'm intangible" Tabitha suggested behind Hawkeye, holding tightly. "Just to make sure it isn't a problem, I can try to pass through Thor's hammer to make sure any magic sentinels aren't a problem."

[Sittingbull]

"Does electricity still both you, if your intangible? These are sentinels after all." *Johnny asks Tabitha.*

[yendorj]

"Didn't say muties should do recon. If you're going to phase through that, try just a hand."

[doc]

Hawkeye waved his hands at the group. "Whoa. Wait there. Alright, seeing as Cap ain't here to give the usual inspiring speech, that leaves it to Ol' Br'er Hawkeye."

Thor nodded. "Verily, we take heed your counsel for your cunning strategems and clever trickery."

Hawkeye continued. "Thanks, Goldilocks. At any rate, scouting party will be me, Webhead, and Ghost Rider's not-currently-on-fire-self." He winked at Johnny. "Great look, by the way. While I'm gone, Songbird will be in charge. Blink, think you can teleport the three of us to the Mountain of Doom?"

"It is called Nidalvellir."

"Right. That place. Think you can do it, Blink?"

Fandrall rode next to Gabby and Tabitha. "And tell me, how did such fine warriors come into the service of Midgard's heroes? I am fascinated to learn all I can about you."

"Never did like horses." Atlas grumbled, barely keeping his mount from colliding with Wolverine's. "Where did you learn to ride?"

[kurff]

"I can give it a shot. Just don't ask me to teleport you to the moon I'm not sure I have enough to do that again. Of course you might end up at the nearest 7/11..if do grab me some Jolt and a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.." she adds

[HSummers]

"Alright! Scouting party! On another world... looking for magic sentinels." *sigh* "I don't think I brought the right Spider-Suit for this." Spider-Man gathers near Hawkeye and Ghost Rider for the teleport.
