Let's Figure This Out

Matt Walker's office is in the upstairs portion of a two-story building near Chicago's South Side, which isn't in the best repair. Still, he calls this place his home away from home and the place where the work he does to finance his /real/ job is done.

He gets inside and takes off his duster, draping it over the back of the chair before sitting down heavily. Still no word on Austin Caine, still no leads, and Matt was reasonably sure that whatever those cultist had summoned was going to make its move soon. He considered calling Ian for advice, or Doctor Strange, but decided he wouldn't. He had to help put this together and then stop it.

He picked up the phone and called the rest of the team, asking them to come to his office.

Anselm required a more normal mode of transportation. He didn't drive, and the bus system was out of the question. Taxi it was, using most of his cash to get to a place a few blocks away. He hurried from there to join the others.

Shelly had learned that traveling via Matt was a dicey adventure at best and since she didn't want to end up motion sick by the time of arrival, she chose to send herself there using an incantation Matt hat taught her but that she'd asked her father to help her perfect.

Jericho'd bitched about it until she pointed out she could use it to come visit him more often. That seemed to do the trick.

At any rate, Shelly popped up just a moment behind Matt, a few moments before Anselm arrived. They would have to work on a more unified mode of transport in the future.

"Looks like I'll follow."

Michelle dropped down next to the rest.

"So what's the plan? Other than not dying."

Matt looks to Michelle.

"Well, I was going to go with not dying and figure out something else on my way over. All right, I have a very serious question for everyone here.

Has anyone here ever killed an innocent person? Like child or an elderly person or the like? If you have, it would be a good idea to stay out of this guy's way. He punishes people who spill innocent blood, but if you haven't, the worst he can do is beat you to a pulp." Matt says.

As Matt speaks, the door to the club house opens and twelve members of the motorcycle club emerge with various types of automatic weapons, shotguns and the like. They form a human barrier between Vengeance and the club house.

"Listen, Ghost Rider. We're sick of your shit. You got until the count of ten to clear out and leave Chicago. After that, we're gonna send you back to whatever Hell your crawled out of, asshole." says a rough-looking man with a gray-haired crew cut and an angry expression.

"We ain't gettin' hunted no more after tonight."

The men begin cocking their weapons.

Vengeance stares down each of the men in turn, looking for any sign of weakness or fear. These men aren't warriors; they're simply bullies and predators. A few of them are stone-cold killers, have spilled blood on behalf of their organization.

"I want only the man who gave the order to kill Austin Caine and Sarah Preston. I will have him." Vengeance says. cocking the wicked looking shotgun and aiming at the man who threatened him.

"There will be no mercy for those who stand between that man and I."

And suddenly, he pivots and fires his shot at another man in the line, who is bathed in hellfire and begins to scream a long and horrible wail, falling to the ground and trying to pat himself out.

"None."


"KILL THIS ASSHOLE!" the lead man says, firing at Vengeance, heedless of the cops and civilians standing nearby.

Anselm uttered a heartfelt "Dear God" and pulled the nearest person with him to cover. He wouldn't die, but it would hurt like hell.

Karen pushed a fellow officer our of the line of fire. She was very glad that she was wearing Kevlar because that really hurt and was definitely going to bruise.

Michelle was fast, but bullets were faster. A bullet grazed her shoulder, causing her to scream out as she completed her dive out for cover.

Matt raises his arm and activates his shield bracelet, blue energy flaring to life as the bullets fly at him. He grunts as fifteen shots slam into his shield, forcing him back.

The moment the shooting stops, Matt drops to his knees, placing his palms flat to the ground.

He uses a Latin-based chant for a very old spell he knows and concentrates, forcing his power through the ground.

The earth beneath everyone begins to rumble, glass breaks and a street light topples over near the Hell's Angels.

The ground under Vengeance buckles, then collapses, dropping the Spirit of Vengeance through the cement and into the sewers.

The motorcycle thugs tumble to the ground, trying to keep their footing. Most of them drop their weapons until the ground stops shaking.

A few try to get up, but the they're disoriented from the ground shaking, as are many of the cops.

Shelly picks herself up, a little unsteady but nothing extreme. She's used to Matt's work. Sort of.

"Karen, send your people after the bikers! This might be the only shot we've got at getting everyone out of this alive!

Shelly and Anselm, watch her back! Michelle, make sure no bystanders get in the way! There's no way that took him out, so I'm going in after him!" Matt says, turning to face the hole in the ground, staff at the ready. He's only going to have one shot with his mystic sucker-punch and if he doesn't make it count, the best they can hope for is a trip to the emergency room.

A snake-like creature slithers out of the hole and darts along the ground toward Matt, wrapping around his ankle. Only then does Matt notice that this is no snake.

It's a very, very long chain.

"You've got to be kidding--"

His sentence is cut off as the chain grows taught and drags Matt toward the hole and into the ground.

"You two help him," Karen says not talking to anyone in particular, "And come with me we are getting everyone out of this." She then ran off the get her boys in blues to start helping out.

As much as she wanted to jump down that hole guns blazing to help her friend she knew who her duty was to and damn it she was going to get everyone out of this that she could even if all of those bikers were not worth one of her friends.

Michelle fixed her gaze on the bystanders, her shoulder still aching from the graze of the bullet.

One look into her eyes and now one was going to want to come closer. For the moment, at least. The hypnosis never lasted long.

People might want to go to hell, but this wasn't the way to do it. A bullet grazed Anselm as he followed after Karen but he'd think about it later. If nothing else, he could be a shield from whatever might attack.

Shelly starts attempting to help Karen out, but was quickly distracted by what was happening to Matt.

"Matt..."

Very quickly Shelly muttered a few words her father had taught her a long time ago, a handy spell on how to cheat a little at tug of war though she had no idea how well it would work here, without her actually touching Matt. It was just a kiddie thing, after all. She turned toward him, though, and thrust out a hand before making the motion like she was drawing back a rope.

Meanwhile, Creepy Blonde Guy's words played loudly in her head. He was not going to be right about this. No way.

Karen's orders are followed immediately, with the cops recovering a lot faster than the crooks. They move into position, getting around the hole in the ground, and train their weapons on the Hell's Angels.

Many of the bikers throw down their weapons and put up their hands, though a few seem think about fighting before it's over.

The bad guys get cuffed and start being led away. A few cops go in to make sure there are no others inside. One comes running back out to get Karen's attention.

"Detective! You need to see this!" the officer says.

Inside the clubhouse are crates and stacks of illegal automatic weapons and military-grade armaments.

Shelly learns very quickly that the force she can exert with her spell is great, but the force pulling on the chain is greater still, and Matt slides down into the hole.

There's a flash of blue energy...a few yells...a grunt of consternation...an eruption of flame from the hole and then...

Matt Walker comes sailing out of the hole and into the air, slamming down upon a car.

Vengeance pulls himself out of the hole as well, and he doesn't look quite so happy, either.

"Why?! Why do you stand between me and those who must be punished? What reason could you have for letting them live after the things they've done!

Vengeance /must/ be served!
" Vengeance yells, looking at Shelly and Anselm and Michelle.

"What she said," Michelle growled. She took a couple steps backward, readying herself to strike.

"Well I guess we have a great place for them to stay safe away from this then," Karen says, "Make sure everything is done by the book. We don't want them getting off on some technicality. Now if you excuse me I'm going to check up on my friends out there."

She turned to see go back outside.
