"Easy miss. Let's talk this out. I rather keep my eyes."

(Hunter)
The girl took one look at Hunter and sized him up. "Bloody 'ell! You're an American! What are you doing here?"
The old hunter laughed.
(Sentry and Tank)
The Captain Gradl nodded at Alex. "Indeed. Perhaps she can join us as well?"
Charlotte responded. "I was hoping to interview this...Annika, is it?"
Gradl's smile faded slightly. "Yes...well, then - we should gather everyone around then. We can both speak with my sister."
Out of the corner of his eye, Alex could see his uncle, and a woman in tattered clothing, battered and bruised, that he seemed to be supporting on his shoulders.

"Of course. Please, lead the way, Sorceror-Captain." Alex suggested, addressing Grandl with his proper title.He waited until Sentrymade eye contact before subtly attempting to get her to look towards Uncle Lex without tipping off the Germans
It was at that moment, he realized Wong was nowhere to be seen. He caught himself about to look around and assumed it was part of his plan, though Alex was starting to believe they were flying by the seat of their pants.

Hunter chuckles. "Nothing bloody. We're on an expedition, like those gentlemen. We're not with them, just similar expedition."

(Hunter)
The girl took a moment to evaluate the situation, before putting her slingshot away. "Alright. Name's Xandy. Let's go rescue me mum. This way." She snapped her fingers, beckoning you and the old man to follow.
"The English. Always like this." The old timer muttered.
(Tank and Sentry)
Sentry peeled away from the group, ostensibly to interview Annika, but Alex could see she had instead found Lex and the woman with him. Gradl lead Tank to a dining tent, were a series of his minions were laying out an exquisite feast. "Sit, sit. The local game is not the best, but one must do when on the front, as I'm sure you know."

Chuckles. "Hunter, pleased to meet you Xandy. I'll take your finger snaps as a new way to say please."
Hearing the English line chuckles again. "Yep, gotta make up for the lack of an empire somehow."

Alex saw what Sentry was doing as the Captain led him away. He wanted to protest, but knew he had to provide a distraction for the Captain so keep him from catching the others. He looked at the food and went wide eyed, "Captain! This is unbelievable! We had less food than this at the front for an entire brigade! My word, this is incredible!"
Distracted himself by all the food, Alex forgot himself and took the chair he was offered. He began to sit, and quickly discovered his concealed bulk was too much, and with a crack, Alex was on the floor atop the splintered .

While there were a few snickers from around the room, a look from Otto silenced them. "Forgive the poor construction of the furnishings. After all, it is not often the primitives of this region get to see true men like us." He patted Alex on the back. "But you should perhaps put on a fresh uniform - go to the officer's tent and change. We shall wait for you. Bring your companion, the American."
Alex, happy to get away, made for the tent, and found it empty, save for Sentry, now with Uncle Lex, the Duchess Isabella Yorkshire. The Hunter and the old man entered with a small girl who rushed to the Duchess. Lex took a step back and you could see a gamut of emotions run across his face. "Alright, alright. We need to get out of here."
"We can't." Sentry spoke up. "The Nazis are doing something here - they've found something. We need to stop them from getting their hands on it."
Lex raised a finger. "We can call in for backup - it's us against an army and a wizard, and we need to get out of here."
"And what of all the innocent people they've got working in that cave?" One of the Thule officers entered. The group spun about, but he raised his hands and the familiar smirk of the Concerned Citizen pierced his disguised. "Very sorry. Took a while to find an officer in my size. Boots are a little small, actually. Might just be I'm not used to jackboots, though." He lowered his hands. "At any rate, innocent people are being enslaved, and we can't have that, can we?"
Lex grumbled. "We need to protect-"
Sentry cut him off. "We protect everyone."

Alex found a uniform his size and quickly changed as the captain had recommended. “He is expecting me to return with Charlotte , so we don’t have a lot of time to come up with a plan.” He looked at his uncle, “Finding the Duchess and her daughter were our reason for coming, getting them clear is our priority, right? Not to mention, we are pretty outnumbered here. I don’t like walking away from a fight like this either, but unless someone has an idea how we even up those odds?”

Hunter takes note of Lex’s reaction but says nothing. “Depends how you want to handle it. Personally, cut the head off the snake. If we have time to do so, can also launch a hit and run campaign. Guerilla warfare they call it and very effective if done right.”
When the officer, who turns out to be Concerned Citizen enters, Hunter pauses listening to their remarks. “The Dutchess can take our ride out, putting her out of danger, while we try to solve this. Protecting everyone is nigh impossible, but we can at least try. As long as we’re intelligent about it.”

Concerned Citizen smirked at Alex's comment, then turned to the child. "Young lady -"
"-Xandy."
"yes, of course." He nodded, pausing to give Lex a look. "Have you seen where the soldiers have been keeping their weapons-"
"The ammo tent? Yup."
"Now, if only we knew someone with advanced demolitions knowledge-"
Lex sighed. "I see where you're going. Fine. But if I am staying, you are going, Citizen."
Wong was about to protest, but Lex wasn't having it. "You're not bulletproof, and the protective lining Rex made into your costume isn't ready to handle these types of weapons. Tank is with me." He opened his case, and you could see Steelfist armor and weapons lying there. "Last time."
The old man spoke up. "My nephew will get my daughter and her dilettante husband out of the way, but you'll need to disable the vehicle depot, and they have a tank."
Sentry tore open her top, revealing the Sentry costume beneath. "On it. I'll keep the soldiers occupied."
The old man looked to the Hunter. "And I'll need a hand - we will need to keep Otto and his bodyguard busy, yes?"

Hunter smiles. "Busy up close, or busy from a distance?"

"Wait, I don't get to take on the tank?" Alex pouted a before he caught Xandy grinning at him. "Fine, be lots of chances later.... wait, demolitions... I get to help you blow something up? Neat!" He said as he began removing the German uniform to reveal his new costume. "Uncle, how many times have you said it was the last time? Come on, let's go kick these Nazi butts and you'll have so much fun that you won't be able to wait until next time."

Lex, now wearing the Steelfist armor, grunted. "This isn't a game, kid." He cast a glance at Isabella and Xandy as he placed the helmet on.
Sentry, now fully in her costume, took off towards the improvised airfield.
"We won't have much time, get what you need, Hunter of men." The old man spat to him.
Concerned Citizen took the others and quickly hotwired a jeep, motioning for the Duchess and her daughter to join them.
Lex and The Hunter can hear an alert rise and a sound like a thunderclap in the distance.
(Hunter and Lex - I need prowl rolls plus whatever skills you'll want for sneaking up on your targets.)

"I know." Alex replied, now fully dressed in his new costume. "You just remember when the bullets start flying, I'm the one that doesn't get hurt easily. Let me draw their fire so you can put that trencher of yours to work." He looked at the jeep as Citizen ushered the Duchess and Xandy to safety, and lowered his voice, "They will be safe Uncle, and waiting for you once we deal with things. Now, do we sneak over there, which neither of us are good at, or do we bounce and hope to catch them by surprise? Two jumps will have us to the munitions tent from here."
