Issue 5: Riders Cometh

Fatale chuckled at Tally, " this must be the group mascot."

Tabitha looked at Zola," What about him? Surely you don't want to take him with us?"

[Renekin Skywalker]

Gambit grabbed one of the Shield uniform sweaters/tops and put it on Fatale, taking his coat back. "There, now we'll both be comfortable." As an added measure, he tied the arms of the shirt thing behind her back, seeing has how he own hands were tied.

"So, Cherie, what about this pocket dimension? " He asks. "Is it painted like a woman's bathroom?"

"Better to put him in front of us than behind. Makes it much harder for him to stab us in the back." Captain America responds.

[sasqaricious]

"Team mascot. I am not a team mascot. At least I do not think I am and I take exception to being called so. I think." As she looks to the others to see if they nod or at least give her some assurance of that she is right or not.

[Dome]

Daredevil pulls the rope again around Fatale's wrists. "Your the one on the leash, maybe we should just make you the mascot. Lets get moving," he says as he pulls her towards the others.

Tabitha patted Tally on the shoulder," You're safe as long as Remy is on our side." she winked at Gambit before turning to Cap," wouldn't it be safer if I just drop his robot on top of him?"

" You have your uncle Mihkael's mean streak." Zola spoke as he sherked away from Tabitha.

Tabitha didn't answer, but her eyes narrowed.

Fatale groaned, but started outside. " Lady Mandarin's domain does not look like a bathroom. It is a fortress, guarded by war machines she ousted from her father before she overtook his empire."

Twenty minutes later, she stopped. " I told you they wouldn't be here."

[doc]

Captain America stares down Zola to silence him for a moment, before turning to Tabitha. "Killing should only be an option of last resort, never an easy answer. Besides," He looks back to Zola. "he'll just transfer his consciousness into one of his duplicate bodies."

Once the others are gathered, Cap looks them over. "If you're ready, let's head into the lions' den, shall we?"

[Renekin Skywalker]

"You know how to get into her pallace, eh?" Gambit asked the American Captain. "Cause they ain't sittin' here waiting by the riverbank."

As he got comfortable, he sniffed his coat and gave a wink at Fatale.

Charm: [dice=100] - fail... maybe a little over the top?

"Let's get there now. I'm certain whatever they have going won't wait long, and if we can stop it before it starts will have a better chance at stopping them"she was spoke flatly, "First Thanos now Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb here she move past the group looking out on the river...."

[sasqaricious]

Tally remains silent and mildly fuming but excepts the pat on the shoulder to calm her down. "Team mascot, if I had a chance I would show her team mascot!" She whispers under her breath. Regardless she follows the rest.

[dakota]

There were no signs of anyone, though the grass was trampled down from people walking on it.

Fatale scoffed." I told you they would be gone."

Zola looked at Fatale. " you are not helping."

[kurff]

"I never expected them to be here...If they dimensionally travelled.." she paused, "Fatale how does your teleport ability work?" Blink was aware her teleport abilities were modified heavily by Sinisters tinkering. Most porters could not use offensive capabilities.

Her charged blades and 'Impact' porting were added by Essex. His motives were unknown. years later when she heard about "X-man", and how he was intended to be Apocalypse's assassin. it was clear Sinister intended Blink to be that. That was until Se was saved by Mr. Creed.

Her fate was in hands of a former Horseman and Government Operative. It was not something Mr. Creed talked about much to Blink. He always gave her a funny look and told her it was something she was better not knowing. That it was not her sort thinking...too violent and cold.

Now it was up to her to save him. just like when she squared off against Holocaust. How he'd react to her method of interrogation she wondered...but it wall be moot if they didn't get to him soon.

Captain America looks at the two of them. "You really should tell me where they are. Otherwise I may not be able to contain the actions of my companions here. After all, I'm not as powerful as they are."

[sasqaricious]

Tally scans the area not having much in the way of useful abilities here and realizing very much how she relied on X-23 and how useful the powers she possessed would come in handy know.

[dakota]

" What part of I told you everything I know isn't getting through to you? Maybe you should cut out some earholes or something." Fatale shot back at Cap. " I told you everything I know." She turned to blink," I think about where I want to go, and I go. Why?"

Zola looked at Fatale and shook his head. " It was merely a contract. Though if it helps, I do recall during Miss Synthia's first visit, she did say something about recruiting a gentleman named Crossbones to finish his job this time, if that is any help. It came up when your name was mentioned, Captain."

Tabitha looked at the others, her arms folded," We're getting nowheres here. Why don't we go back home and put Heather to work figuring this out?"
