Dark Reflections
There was a flash of light and the Exiles appeared in a new world with a new problem to fix.

They were in a crowd just outside a courthouse in New York city. The area around the main entrance was filled with people and the media. New York's Finest tried to keep the mass of people back, but the crowd was persistent in getting in close. Two uniformed officers stood near the rear door. One officer opened the door and the other helped the prisoner out of the car.

Captain America exited the police cruiser and the two officers flanked him. Camera flashes went off in a dizzying pattern. Reporters tried to shove microphones in front of Captain America for a quote.

The officers started to lead him up the steps toward the main entrance.

	The moment everyone appears, Dane realizes that the team is a member short and that they seem to be at some manner of public gathering. "Why is there a public gathering for a man's incarceration?" Dane asks, looking around the area quizzically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Because it's Captain America," Natasha said. "He's the symbol for everything that's good and right, unless this is one VERY messed up world. The thought of him doing something to be arrested is unfathomable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Even if he didn’t do anything wrong you we still need to find out why he’s being arrested like this,” Lester said. The guy reminded him of someone for some reason even though he couldn’t place it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In my world, Captain America is my father." Sarah explains, as if that says it all. She draws the shield off her back and starts towards the crowd. If they're arresting the guy who usually uses it, that might not be the best idea, but she also doesn't much care. She's going to find out what's going on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	While looking around with practiced skill honed by years of training and use Lester sees the glint of a rifle on the tops of a nearby building and with wasn’t standard police or us government issue. “We’ve got trouble snipe on the roof over there,” He said to the others before charging ahead trying to get a good angle on the snipe to take it out.

	"Sarah! Cap!" If Natasha were tasked to assassinate Cap, this would be the place and time to do it. It made sense he was the target. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah is moving from the second there's warning. She's trained enough, it doesn't take her long to pick up on what Lester and Natasha are seeing. She moves in a supersonic blur of flight, leading with her shield to block the shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dane will follow Lester's lead and leap in the direction of the sniper's location, using his telekinesis to push him higher than most humans can jump. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

They were just a little too slow. Two quick shots rang out and the bullets went speeding toward Cap. Sarah thankfully had managed to get there in time to get the shield between the bullets and Cap.

The crowd went into a panic and the sniper was already running across the rooftops.

The people in the crowd started running in all directions and the cops made a feeble attempt to restore order.

	Sarah, at least, has some experience with that, and, well, she's a Rogers. She lands near the crowd. "Please, everyone, listen to the police, calm down. The sniper is being dealt with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The crowd did start to calm down, but not because of Sarah. Overhead the Avengers appeared and were descending toward the scene. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Guy in yellow looks a bit like the Sentry. In my world, he's a mental patient the Avengers take care of. Up there with Thor in the heavy-hitting. But hey, maybe it's not so bad; Logan always seems happier in the brown." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If Dane cannot catch the sniper, he'll leave off to go back to the group just in time to see that they have company. "I don't like the look of these people, Lester." Dane says. "Do you know of them?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And the aforementioned mental patient comes in for a landing and... there's another Iron-Manish-looking person over there. Where they supposed to have another one of those? And those other costumes...he didn't think those were registered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ms. Marvel" gently landed right next to Cap and Sarah. "Identify yourselves," she ordered as she made sure Cap was still one piece and checked his restraints. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's something odd about this, but Sarah can't quite put her finger on it. This Carol doesn't seem a whole lot like the part of Carol Danvers personality that helped form the fusion persona of her mother. "I go by Crusader. What's going on here, and what is Captain America being arrested for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Iron Patriot touches down on the ground and looks over the motley crew assembled before them. Something about this Crusader makes him uneasy, but he regards her before speaking.

"We'd like to thank you for helping out, Crusader, but we'll ask the questions if you don't mind." Osborn says.

"First off, where are your Identification Cards and what team are you with? The Avengers handles this area and we didn't call for back-up."

	Mac Gargan is watching all of this from the crowd, blending in as a normal until he's needed for action. The blond is pretty cute. He idly wonders how her insides taste, then pushes the thought into the back of his mind. Osborn would kill him if he ha a freak-out just now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
