"No buying anything at this beach." Mel said, rolling her eyes at Gabby.
Stepping through Blink's portal, the group found themselves in a small grassy grotto. The beach was close, the air having a salty smell to it and the surf rumbling. They could only see the ocean through a small gap, with a grown up path leading them down to a sparsely populated beach, with a group of a dozen or so playing football at the far end and a half dozen surfers on the water
"Mel, how come there's never anyone here?" Erik asked, shouldering the boards. "Ths is a great place."
"You mean besides figuring out how to sneak past or around the military restricted area?" She replied with a hint of sarcasm. "That's why we always teleport in. Only other safe way is by boat." She motioned to a makeshift jetty at the far end of the break where a couple boats were tied up. "Time to unwind."

Clearing the police line and leaving the officer gobsmacked, Simon's comminicard came to life, "Where are you, and why am I hearing police reports we are taking control of the situation? What did you do?" Natasha asked, then giggled. "Wait until Clint finds out, they thought it was him. Okay, passed the blockade, where are y... nevermind, I see you."
Natasha was still laughing to herself as she approached, wearing a backpack.
Inside was alive with gunfire, then suddenly stopped.

Magneto's eyes narrowed as they met Steve's, but his voice low and measured. "Do not mock me. You know nothing of what I have experienced. These buffoons pretend to be monsters and deserve to see what a real monster is capable of. Yet you defend them. Do you think I should let these armed children walk away, and potential kill women and children with their hate?"
The gunfire stopped as he pulled the weapons from their hands to skitter across the floor passed the tyrannosaur skeleton that had stopped in place.

"A special what? That must be some kind of crazy gaijin talk, is it? You don't look like you do much fast anymore tho... kuso!" The driver swerved, as something streaked over them, and then the driver turned sharply onto a side street.
Otr rather someone as a voice spoke as the driver stopped, "Masa, are you crazy.? You're gonna get someone killed driving like... Logan?" Shiro Yoshida asked in surprise, hovering in place. "What the hell are you doing ..., nevermind, I probably don't want to know. Trouble?"

"I know that the one regret of my life was that I wasn't able to end that horror sooner, that I couldn't...that I didn't stop it." Steve responded. "So now, I'll make sure that it never happens again...but not because I took away anyone's right to choose, but because I fight for what I know is right, no matter the cost. I suppose, in that way, we're not that different." He mused. "As for these children? They're just that - stupid, young and confused. They need guidance...a teacher. Leave them to me. Give them their guns back - that way it might even be a fair fight."

Simon enters the area, the sound of gunfire putting his mind immediately in "serious mode". He enters as he sees the guns clatter to the floor at the feet of a Tyrannosaur skeleton, dangling one of the would-be attackers from its teeth.
He sees Steve in the center, with another man he doesn't immediately recognize.
He nods at Cap. "I see you have the situation well in hand. Natasha is on the way." He looks warily at the young skinheads, adorned with Nazi symbols, and his stomach turns.
Without taking his eyes off them, he adds, "What's the play, Cap?"

Gabby rolls her eyes at Melissa. "I WAS going to buy everyone ice cream, but not if you have that attitude." Looking around, she adds, "Besides, I don't see an ice cream stand anywhere around here." Grinning as she surveys the beach, Gabby sighs in a contented manner. "Now THIS is just what the doctor ordered!" She pulls out a large towel from her bag and spreads it out on the sand and, after applying sunscreen, lays down on the towel. "So are you guys going to go surfing or what?"

"Fast when I want to show mercy. 'sides, bub, you're not that fast on foot." Grins seeing Shiro. "Only one who'd get killed, is him. I'm here for some R&R with Mariko, and those sedans back that way are gonna regret delaying that. Care to scrap some cars with me?"

"I should have known." Sunfire smiled as he landed, "Who else could stir up the Yakusa enough to send out a hit squad just by showing up faster than you, Logan?" He laughed. "Masa, stay back out of the way. We don't want to hold up your cousin's booty call any longer than necessary."
The motorcycle driver scowl as he folded his arms, "I'm losing money on a favour, and that's gross, Yoshiro. Him? Seriously? Yuck!"
Yoshiro laughed even harder as the two sedans had made their way traffic to stop at the end of the alley.
(Mountauk, Secret Beach)
Erik offered Blink the second board he carried, "Let's have some fun."
"You two behave. I think Gabby has the right idea." Melissa suggested as she spread out her own towel and sat down.
"Later," Erik said, turning to run for the shore line. As he did, his kicked a fair amount of sand at Gabby and Mel. His chuckled as he headed for the water's edge gave away it might not have been accidental.

"Cap?" Leshnerr repeated after Simon knowingly, then looked at Steve with a coy expression, "Surely you can train your underlings better than this? But at least your statements make sense and I know they are honest and not just ramblings like I would get from some of your counterparts. I will make you a deal. I won't return their guns, but I won't interfere either. If you can convince them to surrender to police, I will tell you the real reason I am in New York, and I can gaurantee you that it will interest you. A mutual enemy, I'll call him." Magneto offered
Natasha rushed in, skidding to a halt beside Simon and looking at Steve, "Well, this is interesting."

Simon smiles at Natasha. "You're late."
Then, he looks back at the man with Steve, and finally puts two and two together. Won't return their... guns?... He looks at the Tyrannosaur skeleton, noting the metal braces holding it together. Magneto.
Simon looks at the neo-nazi punks. "You heard the men. It's time to pack it in. Trust me, you do NOT want to be on that man's enemy list." He jerks a thumb at Magneto. "It'll go very badly for you. And you're already behind the 8-ball with my friend here..." He jerks a thumb at Steve, "...By wearing that swastika."
"You're already beaten... you just don't know it yet."
Suddenly, he turns to Magneto with a smile, "Wait... did you just call me an underling?"

Steve nodded. "One way or another, they're going in."
He glared at Wonder Man. "That will be enough, Simon. I'm more than capable of speaking for myself."
Steve turned to the skinheads. "Gentlemen, and understand I use that term very, very loosely," He stepped towards them, his demeanor shifting as he moved; his fists clenched, his shoulders rolled back, stretching the contours of his button-up shirt and revealing the super-soldier's physique beneath. "I've been extremely generous with you tonight - I do not abide by that symbol you wear. I've seen more good men than you will ever meet die at the hands of the first people to wear it. However, I've taken your adoption of it as a sign of youthful ignorance, not malice. I think you have a chance to be saved, and this is it. After which, you've made your choice as men, and I will respect it."
Cap stepped next to one of the stolen pistols. "Here's how this is going to go." He picked up the pistol. "You're going to surrender to the authorities outside, and you will go quietly, you will cooperate," He checked the pistol, clearing the firing chamber. "you will find a better use of your lives, and who knows? I'm even willing to give you a hand in cleaning up your acts - make decent men out of you. But, if you want to take your chances and rush me? Fight me? Do anything other than what I'm asking?" Faster than most eyes could follow, Captain America ripped the slide out from the pistol. "Then by all means, step up."

"Lets hit the waves, I need to see how much I remember.." she said not much happening shore side A beach on military base? she pushed back the concern on what exactly the base had and how they'd respond to people on it. Like most large organizations they probably didn't care..but she was armed. This was another thing that blink became and didn't like.
While walking to the beach counted and gauged the others on the beach accessing them and placing a threat rating. Looking for military tattoos, types of injuries common to soldiers and habit that elite solders and such had. The funny part about all that discipline was you could not shut it off easily and things like poster, How they carried them selves, tucking shirts and how close were worn could reveal a lot of things.

"Ugh, he's so childish!" Gabby mutters to Mel. "I'm so glad my boyfriend is much more mature than he is. He's cuter too!" Gabby says loud enough for Eric to hear. Pulling a small bluetooth speaker out of her bag, Gabby places her phone on it and plays music, making sure it's not so loud that it disturbs everyone else on the beach. Lying down, she puts arms under her head and says "Aaaaah, this is just what I needed!"

(Beach)
Mel spit and coughed as she caught more sand than Gabby did. "BIG JERK!" She yelled after him before wiping her face. "Tell me about it. Good to see him loosening up a little, even if I'll have to kick his tail later." She laid on her stomach and looked at Gabby, "So? Don't keep me guessing. Who's the guy? Someone tall dark and dreamy back in your own dimension?"
As Blink looked, there was nothing distinguishable about the others on the beach, even at the distance away. It just looked like a bunch of teens or college kids out enjoying themselves.
Erik hit the water and began paddling out. "You coming or not, Clarice?"
(Museum)
Steve's words and demonstration seemed to have a convincing affect on the group, and they likely would have surrendered had Simon's efforts not had the opposite effect and encouraged them to challenge Cap. They seemed to be confused what to do, looking at one another, waiting for someone to make a decision.
"Yes he did, and he's right about training you better." Natasha said scornfully. She looked at Steve and quarter turned to reveal she had a backpack over her shoulder, "Brought something, just in case you need it."
Magneto laughed, clearly amused as he folded his arms, "Come now, you can do better than this. The clock is ticking, and I cannot wait forever. I'm not a young man like you after all."
The largest of the men, a bruiser of a man towering over Steve, stepped forward. "You and me, Big mouth. I win, we walk. You win, we talk to the cops. Deal?" As he asked, he removed his shirt to reveal his muscle bound torso was covered with fascist bodyart. The others seemed to like his chances.

"Yakuza? Seriously? How much money do you owe Masa?" Hops off, claws extending. "Mariko's your cousin? Huh...In deference to her being a lady, I'll just say Sunfire's right."

Simon looks confusedly at Natasha, and then at Cap. He's hard-pressed to figure out what he did wrong, but it seems obvious to everyone else. All right... next time, I keep my trap shut I guess.
Simon will stand off to the side and keep his eye on the other nazis to make sure they don't try to interfere in Cap's fight.

Gabby beams as Melissa asks about her boyfriend. "He is! He has brown hair and blue eyes. He's an incredibly smart and talented lawyer! His name is Franklin and he's the sweetest guy ever! I'm very glad I met him." Gabby shows Melissa a picture and she smiles at it with a dreamy look on her face. While the picture is of a plain man with brown hair ad blue eyes, it's clear Gabby sees him as an incredibly hansdome man.
