Lightning Strikes
Stephen Remus sat in the office of his penthouse, smoking a cigarette as he looked out the window.

"You have your team. You ready for your first outing?" Remus asked the figure behind him.

"Yes," came the audibly distorted voice. "We know where they'll all be."

Remus takes another drag of his cigarette before responding. "Good. You've all been practicing, let's see how you do against the real thing. Good hunting."

The sound of metallic boots are heard leaving as the figure goes to announce the mission's start.

	Kelly's schedule isn't usually so predictable, but the new issues of Guns & Ammo and Soldier of Fortune are out, and she needs her porn, damnit. She's on her way home with her magazines, checking out the auto-rifle fold out. Perfect time for an ambush. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Along Kelly's route sat a woman on a bench, covered with winter clothes and a scarf obscuring her face as she read the newspaper. She glanced over it, recognizing her target. "Party time." The figure suddenly bursts from the bench, charging at Kelly with inhuman velocity. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kelly doesn't have her sister's gifts, and as such, is entirely blind sided by the attack. Her magazines go flying, and she goes skidding along the sidewalk. "Bitch! Why don't you look where I'm going?" she snaps, as she skids to a halt, pushing back to her feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That gets a chuckle out of Kelly's attacker.

"Oh but I have been. You don't go out much. Took awhile for me to get your schedule down." The woman removes her hat and scarf, revealing a partially metallic face. The coat is thrown off next, revealing that at least half the woman's body was replaced by metal parts. Her clothes were akin to military fatigues, the cold not seeming to bother her at all.

Adrienne was surprised at how little illegal activity she'd done of late. Sure, she'd robbed a few corrupt corporate executives in Boston proper and redistributed most of the funds to a few charities, but she'd mostly been doing the hero thing.

She'd even helped save the world!

Today, for example, was another non-stealing day. She'd gone to a bookstore, picked up a few things, and was doing ordinary shopping.

	"Business mostly," Millicent replied with a small smile. "What about you? I thought you had a job here and that you were returning to Europe. Next thing I know you're on the telly fighting monsters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Amber "Darkheart" Donnell had been monitoring the Thunderbolts compound for months now. She dared not to delve too deeply into the facility as even her advanced equipment could be detected. However, her chances were far better now as her target was alone. Darkheart herself was cloaked from any bio-scans the facility may have along with a mask of her equipment to avoid possible scans of the energy she was packing. Her fingers danced along a small device.

"Time to bring the power down." And Darkheart's hack attacked the compound's generators. She that Stark's stuff was top of the line and wouldn't be down for long, but she just needed a moment of time to enter.

	It's not long before the power comes back on, but by that time Darkheart has already made her way inside. Now that she was closer to the source she was able to start remotely hacking into the compound's defense systems in an attempt to take them offline. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ankylosaur had remotely monitored Armadillo Junior's shopping pattern thoroughly and knew it had the proper time and location for an ambush.

Anyone trying to track Martin would've had a hard time doing so, let alone pinning down a schedule for him. He teleported to places on a whim and was generally at the Sanctum or the HQ, the ratio of which was subject to change upon his moods. After that whole end of the world bit, he'd been spending more and more time at the Sanctum, but still showed up to HQ here and there. But these places were home territory for him, not good for an ambush.

But while he never did so with a schedule, Martin could still be found to teleport for casual flights around Boston at random times. He just liked looking down at the city really. Which was where he was now, sitting on his magic disc and floating past downtown while sipping a coke he'd gotten from HQ. Today he was in a pretty good mood.

	As Martin floated by he'll see a strange slightly older man with facepaint, casually sitting on a nearby balcony. "Evening," he said casually, getting out a pack of Menthols. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-27 01:48 am UTC (link)
	Martin frowned at the man, confused. Not by the facepaint, or that this guy was talking to him, but by the magic he could sense. He was positive he'd never run into this guy before. "Hello..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Remus' surveillance equipment had been watching the fights all over the city. Getting one inside their headquarters would have been difficult, so he'd have to count on Darkheart's findings for Dayspring's Intel. He lifted up what looked like a cellphone.

"Operation's over. Scatter and report to rendezvous when signaled."

The message went out to all the attackers.

Ajax cursed as she had been about to trail Kelly. "Kill you next time," she said, speeding away from the scene as her servos recharged,

"And having my best friend steal the man I was after wouldn't!? Millicent asked indignantly. She got the call. "Take my advice, Adrienne. Leave the Thunderbolts while you have the chance. I want to best you..I do not want to see you dead," she said before throwing down a flash grenade and heading off.

Darkheart was getting tired of this cat-and-mouse game. She'd been about to use some heavy ordinance when the call came through. "We'll have to finish this another time, Beatrice Daysrping." And Darkheart using some body-sliding tech to transport her out of HQ.

Ankylosaur received the remote signal.

"{click.click.click.}Statement: Your ass is grass. Later." Ankylosaur smashed into a pile of cars, causing them to collapse behind him, blacking Manny's ability to follow.

Anya's barrage collides with..something. However when she gets to the battle site, Gold Tarantula is long gone.

Gerald smokes another cigarette as he watches things hidden on another rooftop. "Going to make me earn money, kid? Hmph, should be interesting." Gerald teleports away.

Jack's attack against Nought does indeed crush the adaptoid to the ground. It hadn't expected that. It considered how to counterattack when the master's message came through.It's body suddenly decomposed into a form of silvery liquid, sliding out from under the door and taking slithering at high speeds away from Jack.
