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.

Buck is still working with Toni and Nicolai on distraction duty, trying to draw the new arrivals away so others can collect the cable again, now that they've found a way to slow groups down.

"Ok, good to know. Direct exposure would probably be a problem for most of us. Oren, meet up with Kal. You two are the least likely to be affected, with your protections. Go check it out, we'll keep up the show and try and draw attention away from you."

A glance to see how the rest of the team is doing. "You heard her. Toni, keep it up. We need to get these things away from City Hall to give them some time to analyze it and try and figure out a reversal. Anyone have a background in applicable sciences?"

He folded his arms together and the crackle of energy encircled him as he focused his mind on kal. Within moments he was hovering above her. "Kal? Kal?" He called out to her but found her near the rock and the girl. She gave a call out on what happen. "I can encase the rock safely for transport. I don't think we'd want to leave this here." he looked over to Kal. "is she ok?"

Frances scrambled up onto a storefront's rooftop and took up position for sniper-work. From higher up she could get a better view of everything. "City Hall, we've got a handful heading from that way. And they looked pissed." She shot at or near monsters to steer them away, or clip ones too close to the team. "I'm putting down deterrent to clear the rock for pick up and keep anyone else from super-sizing."

	Toni kept up the light-show, occasionally drawing a little power off the town powergrid to keep her own energy levels up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicolai kept up with making as much noise as possible setting off alarms where ever he could while playing keep away with the town folks Mr. Hyde's. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The mutated townspeople stopped and watched the light show, thoroughly distracted for the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine," she told Orlen. I'm going to go look for the meteor. she sent to Buck and the others. What should I do with it once I find it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We need to find a way to reverse its effects. You and Orlen stick together, contain it and, if needed, get it somewhere you can study it, scan it, whatever you can do between the two of you. We'll keep them off of you.

Toni - they seem to like that. Drain off the town's energy reserves as much as you need to, but keep it up. Everyone else other than Hawkeye - form a perimeter where you can see another Avenger. We're on distraction duty - try to limit risks. We have to find a way to reverse the effects - and hopefully our mage and eternal can manage."

	"Sure can do," Nicolai says as he pulls out a flash-bang as a distraction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Got it, Buck," Toni replied. She drew off more power, turning into a virtual electric-blue star in the sky. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ladies and gentlemen, we've got company of the agent-y kind coming in on the southeast side," Frances noted from her vantage point. Which was good, she was starting to run low on pointy bits to shoot at people. Luckily the monsters seemed transfixed on the blinding light show than moving around too much.

	"Situation isn't contained, if someone who isn't Kal, Toni or Oren wants to drag one of the townspeople to them and see if they have a genetics lab in one of those trucks, I'm all for it. But they need to stay back until we determine if magic or Eternal powers can do anything with the meteorite." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He moved closer to Kal as he waited for instruction. "Ok Kal what now?" he asked her as he began prepping a spell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can you see if you can transform one of them back to normal?" Kal asked. "If you can do that, I can get rid of this rock." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For the moment the townspeople seemed quite content to watch the light show. Slowly more and more came out of buildings to watch the lights. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Huh... we have a winner. Toni - do your best Vegas impression, any special effects you can handle, or hypnotic patterns - anything. Just keep them entertained. Everyone else, hold perimeter, give Kal and Oren all the time we can. Do not engage unless they get bored with Toni's show." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You got it, Buck," Toni said. She wove more lightning, great crackling streamers. This town was gonna have one hell of a power bill. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not seeing much action. They are mesmerized and pretty damn rooted to the spot," Frances kept an arrow knocked, but lowered her aim. Nothing was jumping up or roaring, at the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)
