Issue 15: Fire in the Kitchen (All but Vision)

[dakota]

"Oh look, a family reuion." Hawkeye said. " Want to go say hi, Songbird? For old times sake?"

[sasqaricious]

Having no idea who these people are does not quite comprehend the joke that Hawkeye just told is confused if they are in danger or not and as such keeps an eye on the others reactions.

[doc]

Songbird ignores Hawkeye's comment as she rushes to the side of her former teammate. "You big dummy, what have you gotten yourself into this time?"

An electronically modulated voice buzzes out of concealed speakers in the Beetle armor. "Alright, we've made our point. Let's get out of here. No one has to get hurt."

"Aw, Beetle, where's the fun in that?" the woman spins her energy batons. "I'm calling dibs on hornhead. He's supposed to be good, but they never said how good he looked in those red tights. " She licks her lips as she rushes at DD.

"I'm with Joystick - time for me to put the old lady out of the picture!" She fires a sonic burst at Songbird, who deflects it with a solid pink energy barrier.

Songbird's expression went from concern for Josten to anger. "You just made a big mistake. Aura, get my friend a safe distance away. Avengers? Take these wannabes down."

Aura reacts to the request and zooms forward to the songbirds friend going into the grab and zooming away.

[dakota]

initiative [dice=20+7]

Hawkeye left the rest of the team take the head on approach while he circled around to the front of the bar. He knew that if there were this many of the Thunderbolts present, there may be more inside.[rand=004516041462511833052013367748152794186958315305089132001500249181436]

DD pulls the billy club still in his holster and throws it at the ground two steps ahead of the one charging him so that it bounces off the floor and hits her feet. He also waits for her to close the distance, either by her charging of her falling, and before she gets there, he dives to the right performing a dodge roll and then spring to his feet and catch the the careening billy club.

[dice=20+9](28)Ricochet shot at the charging woman's feet.

[dice=20+14] (Joystick dodging DD)
[dice=20+14] (Joystick autododging X-23)

With reflexes that would rival Spider-Man's, Joystick barely evades DD's billy club toss while twisting her midsection to avoid X-23's strike.

"Nice moves - if you were a little older I'd dance, but right now my eyes are set on the cutie in Red!" As she tries to slap X-23 across the face with her energized baton.

[dice=20+10] (Joystick's stike to X-23)
[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6+23] (Damage if it hits, plus save vs. stun)

Hawkeye circles into the bar to find it in dissarray. He sees several low rent supervillains mingling about, trying to find a discrete exit - among them are The Eel, Anaconda, The Shocker, and Bombshell.

Songbird and Screaming Mimi exchange sonic blows, with neither one getting a hit, but Screaming Mimi is laughing.

The Beetle takes to the air, and energizes his weapons.

"Aw, dangit, just cuz I don't have my Atlas powers doesn't mean I can't help out." The big lug complains in Aura's arms as she sets him down on a rootop. It's there that Aura sees a familiar figure adhering to the Osborn billboard - Spider-Man has arrived.[rand=7335247861088927529614573540846694294494963595820335197191163118]

[HSummers]

From up high, Spider-Man sees the spat begin to break out. He says to himself because there is no one else around, "I can't leave these guys alone for ten minutes, can I?" And then he sees Aura dropping off a man on a rooftop. "Hey, Avenger! Is that Hornhead and Claws the girl down there? You think they need my help? Of course they need my help! Everyone needs Spider-Man's help. When does Spider-Man get to ask for help? You know?" All of this is said as Spider-Man dives off the billboard (Sense of Balance: [dice=100]/98%) and past Aura, down to ten feet above street level where he swings around on a lightpost (Work Parallel Bars/Rings: [dice=100]/98%) and launches into a kick (Strike: [dice=20]+10=28. Damage: [dice=4]+30=31) at Joystick. He lands on the ground next to X-23. "Hey Claws the girl. What's new? Did you find Ghostsabre yet or are you guys just here to drink? Are you seriously drinking on the job? Not cool. Minus 10 hero points."[rand=9391129771216082640887725084710735197536307339653187783959504138]

Initiative: [dice=20+3]

Flash watches as Avengers and Thunderbolts duke it out beneath him from atop the roof of the bar.

Cracking his knuckles he smirks from behind the mask when he spots the Beetle taking to the air.

"Let's say hi.."

With that he aims for the back of the Beetle and shoots out a webline. Attempting to use both his adhesion and superior strength to force an impromptu landing on the Beetles part.

Strike: [dice=20+7][rand=779635712001159149676055941471249664644182360672899627564626527]

[dakota]

Glancing back at others seemingly having things in hand, Hawkeye notched an explosive arrow and aimed at the villians inside attempting to escape. " Look, I've got no quarrel with any of you right now, but I want answers. Where do I find the Spot? If any of you know, tell me now and you walk away, no questions asked."

[yendor]

[dice=20+11] Initiative

Not one to let an opportunity slip by, and seeing as how the dance partners are busy at the moment, Wolverine heads to the bar. "Beer, bub." Turns partially to watch, ready to jump in if needed.

As he waits for his beer, sniffs the air to pick out any surprises in the crowd.

[dice=100] Recognize/identify specific odors [82%].
[dice=100] Recognize a person by scent alone [59%]
[dice=100] Track by scent [49%][rand=6778954184970214617226335494035775793489664706678109084972281723]

"Oh cool there is that spiderman guy. Which is really confusing as I thought we had another spider like guy. Oh man that is confusing." She says before she turns to the guy who was talking. "Um, who or what is an atlas?"

[dakota]

" How can you..., " Hawkeye almost let his bow drop in suprise at Wolverine before shaking his head slightly, "nevermind, I forgot who I was talking about."

[doc]

[dice=20+14] (Joystick Autododge)

Joystick is caught in the ribs by Spider-man's Kick, but she backflips away from the trio of opponents (DD, Spider-man, and X-23) and smiles as she spins her batons. "nice...all the cute ones flock to me, just like in high school."

Spider-man, you hear your cellphone go off, it's MJ's ringtone.



(GM Note: See OOC thread for details)

[dice=20+5] (Beetle dodge)

Beetle is caught by the webline and dragged down, but he reponds with a blast at Venom. "Yes, I'm finally going to be the Beetle that killed Spider-Man!"

[dice=20+6] (Strike at Venom)
[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] (18 damage if it hits)

Songbird and Screaming Mimi, their sonic powers too evenly matched, have resorted to wrestling, where it seems that despite Mimi being a head taller, Songbird's experience is winning out.

Aura, the Big man looks at you and grunts. "Nevermind that, kid. You need to get down there...something's...not right. I'm smelling ambush."

Anaconda gives Wolverine an Eyeball. "Hey! You mind! Do we rob your bar?"

Wolverine detects the scent of the flamable aerosol Pyro uses in his flamethrowers. He was here not too long ago.

The various supervillains raise their arms. "Seriously, we don't know anythin'! That Spot guy's weird, working for all the wrong customers!" The Eel tells Hawkeye.

"Oh, Hawkeye, is that an arrow in your quiver, or are you just happy to see me?" A familar, sultry voice reaches Hawkeye's ears as a beautiful woman rises through the floor like a ghost. It's Karla Sofen aka Moonstone - one-time Thunderbolt and Hawkeye's ex.




"Long time no see."
