Issue 2: Into the lair

[dakota]

As the team emerged from Blink's portal, looking straight into the hiss of escaping air filled the air and they were ankle deep in water from broken pipes. The floor was uneven and buckled from the impact.

" Glad there aren't sewage lines in here." Tabitha sputtered, " Which way, Colonel?" Addressing Fury held a fair bit of contempt.

" Out the door and straight down the corridor to the left." Nick replied, his pistol drawn. " The door should be labelled auxillary generator room."

[doc]

Captain America nods. "I'm on point. Nick has the codes, so everyone form up to keep him safe." as he takes the lead down the corridor.

“Captain America I do not want to step out of line but I might be the better choice to take point, I’m a lot like my father but with more grace” x-23 steps forward “also when it comes to saving lives and protecting people your have the upper hand” X-23 tries to sound non-confrontational, and hopes the little joke help Cap to see things her way.

[dakota]

" I don't need to be coddled, Captain." Fury protested.

" No, but you need to be kept alive. And with the two of them leading the way, you might stay that way." Tabitha seethed. " Creed, watch our backs and don't let any of them sneak up behind us."

As Cap and X-23 rounded the corridor into a large common area , she caught a familiar scent just as an arrow slammed the wall next to Cap's head." That's far enough, heroes." Hawkeye warned, rearming his bow. Three more figures stood there, none of them having any business opposing them.
Iceman changed into his frozen form.
The Punisher held a submachine gun ready at his hip.
The Thing cracked his knuckles. " she will be pleased when we bring you to her."
Behind the four, a half dozen AIM troopers took up positions.

Hawkeye spoke, aiming at Cap" Stand down, imposter . You have no chance."

Cal had been in her own little world of sorts slogging through the deep water reminding her of the sewers she would occasionally hide in as she and her family avoided the inhumans.

Seeing the new comers Cal stops looking to the others so she could know what to do. But her eyes focused upon the large creature cracking it's rocky knuckles. "I bet that guys good for a scrap," she thinks to herself. "I'm so takin his power... hopefully he has powers and isn't just a rock thing."

[Renekin Skywalker]

"Ahhhh." Gambit says, as if something made sense. Really, he had no idea this would happen for certain, but it seemed like the thing to do. Very composed, he says, "How do we know you're no the imposters? None of the real ones of you would serve the Brood."

[doc]

"I've heard that before - I'm still here Hawkeye." He moves forward, completely unafraid of the archer. "You'll only get one shot, but we aren't stopping. So you better be absolutely sure of yourself." Steve Rogers moves his lips without sound so that no one other than Hawkeye can see him say Clint. "Move aside, or I'll have to take you down."

X-23 follows Caps lead claws extending from both hands and feet “The ugly one with the gun is mine”, she eyes Punisher and starts to move forward, “guns are so uncivilized”

Blink thinks readying weapons under the robes, and preparing to make a portal she looked at the terrain for any features to take advantage of.

"'She'?" the mutant thinks to herself "They must be mid controlled by the brood queen or another." she thought taking a place near Creed. She wondered if this Bobby Drake could reform himself if he shattered better to simply toss him through a portal and get out of the immediate fight.

Looking to Creed "I open the door you toss the the ice through?" she whispered. She figured he knew that standing in water against Iceman was not a smart move. If this Iceman was as good as the one she knew there would be problems.

" We don't serve the Brood. The brood Queen serves her." Bobby Drake replied to Gambit.

Morph's copying Thing caused Cal to become stone like as wel, and she could feel his immense strength as she duplicated it. ( copies APS:Stone and SN PS 45 )

" Ugly? This coming from someone with claws like Wolvering sprouting everywheres."

Hawkeye seemed shaken," You're dead. You died in my arms, Cap. I was there when Gamma Blast took you down." He had the same look on his face Tabithat did when she had first seen Cap.

Tabitha looked to Aura and Gaby. " Looks like we get the foot soldiers. 2 to 1 odds, they're in trouble.

(roll inits, folks)

"I'm right here Hawkeye. I know you. You can help us. There's no need for this." Captain America walks forward, confident and his voice assuring. "It's me, old friend."

Gabrielle simply grins and nods. "I could use a good workout."[rand=13688045107324065605892471309035369624086298647248480367552353504]

Blink was ready and willing. her primary objective would be to get Iceman off the field. his powers may not be impressive but with freezing water and the water at there feet it was real threat. If this drake was half as creative as her earth's counterpart..there would be one tough fight.

Blink chooses not announce her selected target.. preferring the element surprise or what little remained of it. Not warrior, she did have combat experience in the war on apocalypse.

Creeds help or not Ice man WOULD not be in this battle long...hopefully he'd be a good mile a way in the next few moments.

That is unless this captain America could somehow avoid the fight.
(Objective Port Iceman off the field and get out the water if she can, holding over rolls from last post.)

[Renekin Skywalker]

Gambit strikes a power pose. "So, he's dead, or he's not. Fact is, you're about to be." He says, grinning, pre-charged staff in hand.

Initiative: [dice=20][rand=03095039318883108239709629058769190579464558780322808310809326001]

Aura takes a cue from the rest of the group and charges up the energy she had copied to attack with. Takes a look at the rest of the group striking a pose and gets into position. She has at the ready a blast to release!
