Chapter 31: loose ends

(Bangkok

"Here we are! No better place to hunt down predators than the balmly streets of good old Bangkok!" Deadpool proclaimed, stepping between Logan and Gabby and wrapping his arms around them. "What a family outing! My brother from another mother and the daughter another me had in an alternate reality. I couldn't write this script better myself!" The merc with a Mouth let out a big sigh, "Ahhh, this is the life. Let's go kill something."

"Wilson?" Came a voice from behind them that made Deadpool stop in his tracks. "Wade Wilson, is that my you my old friend? I've neaver been so lucky."

Deadpool's eyes widened but he did not look back as he froze. "Big guy. Pukey green Skin, black hair slicked back, red eyes? _{Pleasedon'tletitbehimPleasedon'tletitbehimPleasedon'tletitbehim}...."

Wade described The man to a tee, who was standing with an evil grin and his arms folded.



Avengers Mansion

When they got back to the mansion, Hawkeye begrudgingly slipped away to do up his report, while Tabitha went to change and Erik had slipped away somewhere. As the others had time to relax, they found Ben Foster seated on the sofa with a laptop. He paid them no attention as they entered.

Melissa walked by, "Hey 'Ben, what are you working.... " She stopped as she leaned in over his shoulder and looked at the screen, "Ben, what are you... who are you sen...,"

She never got a chance to finish as his arm snapped upwards, catching her under the chin and sending her sprawling backwards to crash into the entertainment center and knock the TV from the wall. Ben did not even look up from the computer at Simon and Clarice as he said flatly, "Go away."

Chuckles when hugged. "I don't see my better half. Fix that, and I'll carve up a whole country."

Hearing the voice, and Deadpool's descrip, glances over his shoulder. "Why, you owe him money?"

[Mierin]

Gabby cheers as DP wraps his arms around her and Wolverine. "Let's get this party started!" She's a little confused when the newcomer shows up and she asks, "Who's that?"

[Paladin]

Simon is utterly taken aback by the violence in the Avengers Mansion, and he immediately rushes to Melissa to check if she is okay.

Kneeling in the wreckage of the entertainment center, he cradles Songbird in one arm.

He then looks up at Foster and snarls, "Explain yourself. NOW."

Blink sees the laptop tapping her card and silently Locking down the Mansion. disabling all computer access and power down all computer cores, computer or data access points." this was another one tap function she should add too. Blink should know better after her time with the X-men and fighting Apocalypse. Redundancy and preparation are the keys to victory. She really needed to spend time learning tech and computers. A good chance to get a better trust with Beast and Forge.

"I would talk fast he does not look like he is in a good mood." Blink adds, "Neither am I." she finished her eyes glowing.She does not know Simon at all. he was never really one she met in her reality. But he was an avenger and that was good enough for her. The mutant places a pin in her hand.there was more going on than was obvious. Perhaps Sinister or one Apoc's allies or servants? no way to know with the list of enemies the Avengers can make. Clearly a meta with physical strength and skill.1d20·1d20·1d100

"I was gonna pick her up next, right after I got you two started, I swear." Deadpool replied as he tried to tiptoe ahead of Logan and Gabby as he answered their questions, "No money, but I might owe him a pound of flesh. Maybe two." He turned and looked at the new arrival. "Macho! Hey guys, this is Macho Gomez, one of the best skip tracers in the galaxy. And he kinda hates me as much as Logan."

"Really? Is that how you think Of me? I'm hurt." Gomez flashed a predatory smile. "You really think someone could want lo dead as bad as I do? The only reason I didn't just shoot you in the back is I have bigger fish to fry. Maybe later if you want to hang around though."

Wade was already backing away.

(Avengers Mansion)

Bill paid no attention to Simon's demand as he continued to tap away at the computer. Melissa groaned , and tried to move slowly.

Blink got an odd message from her attempts that her access was denied, she was already locked out of the computer. Foster uttered under his breath as he looked up, "Go away." As he made eye contact, there was something about his stare (perc roll please)

"Anyone know what the hell is going on?," Erik's pained voice came over the comm. "Black Widow just dropped Tabby and me, then walked away for saying hi."

"Anyone know what the hell is going on?," Erik's pained voice came over the comm. "Black Widow just dropped Tabby and me, then walked away for saying hi."

"Simon and I are here, Mansion is comprised. Pursue and Disable her if it is safe to. We have a situation here at the mansion, We will get back to you if you don't get here first. TO all avengers Head up, system is potentially breached...Mansion likely Compromised." she radioed to Avengers commlink and pocketed the card. The mutant focuses on targeting a pin at the computer and drew a second aimed at Ben to disable him as she spoke. If she knew the location of the computer cores she'd port there.

"I wish I knew the tech around here...really have to study harder." Blink thinks. Another idea would have been a fall back location to gather incase of this situation.1d20

Simon's smart, but he's not exactly quick. At first, he'd thought Bill was having a really off day, and took it out on a teammate - that's certainly happened before. It wasn't until Blink said the Mansion was compromised that it all clicked together for him.

Simon's eyes grow red with rage as he stands to face Bill - or whoever it is passing as Bill. The Bill I know, knows that if we fight, we can tear this mansion down around our ears and still be going strong. He wouldn't risk all these lives. Therefore... this ain't Bill.

"This ain't you, Bill. If someone's controlling you, you need to fight this. And if that's someone wearing your face.... I'll tear it off of them."

Without giving Bill - or whoever's wearing Bill's face a chance to reply, Wonder Man explodes into action, attempting to knock Bill silly at the outset, before he has a chance to get large.

Initiative: 1d20+4

Strike (Power Punch): 1d20+4

Gabby still looks confused. "Yeah, that clears up nothing for me." Gabby shrugs at Gomez, "Don't take it personally. If my player hasn't seen you in a movie or tv show, chances are she has no idea who you are and she hasn't had a chance to google you yet." Gabby is a bit surprised when DP backs away and asks, "So what is this all about? Why are you here?"

[yendorj]

Wolverine chuckles, "Too much Street Fighter in the wrong crowds, I'm guessing. Nice to see someone put fear into Wade."

[dakota]

Bill's eyes shifted to Simon again just as he told him to fight it, and he could recognize it this time. It was fear. "No I can't. What ever it is, I can't stop...." His attention shifted to Blink as the laptop was knocked from his hands. As Blink teleported away, she could see her second pin miss as Simon struck.

The punch landed and knocked Bill backwards off the sofa, but Simon could already see his problem as even as the punch landed, Goliath was growing. He got to his feet, his head nearly dragging the ceiling, "Simon, please forgive me," he pleaded before he charged, attempting to tackle Simon and drive him through the wall.

"He got in my way and cost me a lot of money." Macho flashed a fake smile, his hand close to the grip of the pistol on hip thigh. "Way more than either of you are worth, compared to the job I'm here for. Last thing I'm gonna do is tell either of you so he can steal that..., " Gomez trailed off laughing, his posture easing, "I guess he knew I was serious last time."

Behind them, Gabby and Logan could hear footsteps racing away as Deadpool was already disappearing into the crowds, abandoning his friends.

[kurff]

"I could have aimed better." she grumbles, "I could have aimed period..." the mutant clearly getting lazy and to soft for her own personal taste. the leg sheathes held 8-12 pins (4-6 per leg) . two down meant 6. looking to simon as she readied to dodge and set up to help Simon KO Bill. the she and Thor used to knock out the Wrecking crew could work. But where to aim bill? He was not a foe and tough as he was she could not risk permanent injury.

"You have a plan in mind or do I need get creative again, Bo Hunk?" she called to Simon grins as she commented. He seemed like a guy with a good sense of humor. She was starting to sound like Jubilee from her earth...scary thought. and how she put up with her Gambit was something that the mutant still wondered about.

"How'd he cost you money? I figure, it's the least you could tell us, given we're here for other things. Though judging by how he's running, must be a large amount."

[Mierin]

Gabby raises an eyebrow as she realizes that Deadpool is running away. "What in the ass?" Gabby mutters to herself.

Is it me or did DP have a personality transplant?'

Well, it's a different GM now, so that might be it.

That makes sense.

Shaking her head, Gabby teleports so she is blocking Deadpool from running. "Where you going?" she asks with a grin.

[Paladin]

"Bill I don't know what to do here - you've got to fight it or we'll bring the mansion down on top of us!"

Simon moves to try to grab both of Bill's arms, and hold him.

Strike: fHojv6011d20+4

Damage: None (grab)

If he grabs him, he'll holler out "HELP!  Situation in the livingroom!"
