Hartley, Texas
The small town of Hartley, Texas was not much more than a wide spot in the road that was situated about an hour northwest of Amarillo. The town was small and the surrounding area consisted of mostly ranches and farms and nothing special ever happened in Hartely.

Until a meteorite burned across the west Texas night sky and landed just outside the town on property belonging to one Martin Reynolds. Martin promptly hauled the meteor into town in his pickup. The townspeople all gathered around to see the hunk of space debris that had crashed to Earth.

The strange space rock was put in the center of town and over the next few days it was the center of the talk of the town and the focus of their attention.

	Damn, he hates guessing right sometimes. "Orders stand, the rest of us try and distract them without hurting them and get a better feel for their top end abilities while you three try and determine why they're like this, and how we reverse it." Not if. Not letting anyone even consider that an option right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Toni reached into her jacket and enlarged her flying disk. "Got it, Boss." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Frances scrunches up her nose, shaking her head. "Nah, I just close my eyes and pick one. Makes it a surprise every time, Houdini."

Frances grimaces at their luck. "Yay we answered the Colonel's inquiry. Go us," she sighs and reaches in her quiver. "Come on, let's go mess with Texas. 'Ey uglies!" Nocking a few high-whistling arrows to the string, she fires them to land short of the locals with with large smoky bangs.

He kept a float and right next to Kal keeping close and fallowing orders. He used a small chant to determine the condition of the mutations. "Hey guys. These are the townsfolk... Something for whatever crashed left some sort of an infection."

He chanted again putting a barrier around him and his team mates. "it should be enough to keep whatever infected these people off of us. We got twelves hours before it wears off"

He kept afloat but putting to sleep a few of the creatures near them.

	More and more hulking transformed townspeople emerged from buildings. One picked up a car and threw it at the Quinjet. It didn't reach the craft and fell short. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mac touches down near one of the doorways these people are coming through and tests out how the one walking through takes a punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright, so we need to keep them busy, trying not to hurt them too much... at least there's no teamwork involved. We also need to get the quinjet up out of reach asap." he adds, launching himself out into the fray, tossing a knockout gas grenade to check its effectiveness. "Last one out of the jet set its autopilot to climb to 2000 feet and hover." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Toni dropped from the Quinjet on her flying disk, leaving a crackling electric trail behind her. As she approached one of the creatures, she threw up both hands, casting an electromagnetic field that she used to snag a near-by chain-link fence, using it to entrap the beast.

	Kal tried to command the altered townspeople to sleep, but her mental commands had little effect. This was going to take more direct action. She TK'd a wrought iron lamppost out of the ground and wrapped it around one of the altered townspeople. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hawkeye fired some nets, only to have them ripped apart by the locals they landed on. Okay fine, maybe sleeping-gas arrowheads. "Hey, genius types," Frances started on the comms, looking around for the next biggie. "Any chance this is exposure-based? Cause that'd be just peachy if we started looking like them after breathing the air." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicolai jumped out throwing a foam cement grenade at one of the things to see how well that would hold it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The one Mac punched flew back and crashed into a parked car. There was a good sized dent in the car. The thing didn't move for a few moments and then started to get up.

Buck's gas grenade landed near one. The thing started to cough when the gas started to pour out. The thing charged toward Buck.

The one Toni trapped with the fence started to struggle to get out of it.

The one that had a lamppost wrapped around it struggled to get it off. There was the sound of creaking metal and the lamppost started to bend outward.

Hawkeye's sleeping-gas arrowheads landed near two of the things. They started to cough and were slowing down.

	Buck holds his ground as long as he can, letting it charge, reading its momentum, then shifts his weight, reaching for the leading wrist and trying to launch it into an aikido throw, using its strength and momentum to toss it at one of the ones Hawkeye is fighting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2012-04-26 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	Toni didn't want to hurt them, so turning any of her electrical charge on them was right out right now... She tightened her grip with the fence, pulling in more sections of it for restraint. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, that punch worked without any major harm. Time for another go. He knocks another one down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	strangeson 2012-04-27 05:59 am UTC (link)
	He shot a blast over at one letting it slam on a wall then shooting another. "Just give the word! I can probably scry for it!" He shot another beam chanting a spell to push away any fog within a few feet radius. "sorry it isn't much but this might make it better for us to move." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal grabbed another lamp post and wrapped it around the thing along with the first lamp post. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks for the assist," Hawkeye tossed out as one of the two dazed went down from the tossed weight of another. Sleeping gas worked, she'd have to play that card. She scrambled onto a SUV to get more eye to eye with the locals and fired sticky heads with the gas packages, pegging a few more right in the forehead so they got a good lungful of the gas.

One was wrapped up in the foam which quickly hardened to cement. It struggled to get free.

The one Buck tossed smashed into another one and the two went crashing into a car.

Tony's opponent struggled to get free of the fencing.

Mac sent one stumbling backward into another. The two fell to the ground but were quickly getting back up.

One that Orlen hit with a blast of magical energy fell to the ground.

Kal's was struggling to get out of the impromptu restraints but wasn't have any success.

The gas went off and the ones near it started coughing and backed up.

	"That's what teammates are for." Buck responds to the thanks, tossing a flare grenade to try and blind a couple to help set them up for others. "If this got the whole town, if we don't find a way to reverse this, could be a very long fight. Orlen, Kal, any better luck on determining how likely we are to get infected? And any way to reverse this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mac shuts his eyes for the grenade and then goes after them to put them all down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dammit. She really didn't want to do this. But there were so many of them, she had to keep fighting, keep moving. Toni electrified the fence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicolai was glad to see the cerement was working at last for now. But he did have too many more of those grenades left. He threw an electrified bola at another one of those things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Frances fired a line around a few's legs, the weighted end circling and wrapping around their knees . One took a step forward to squish the intruding Avengers and all of them fell down instead with a loud thud. "Like big... lumpy dominoes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
