Outcasts Forever: Issue #1 - Red America

Vision

Vision watches Falcon and Binary for a moment before he shrugs slightly. Falcon is right we must be on guard for duplicity, I for one wil not be used as a tool for evil again but until then we should proceed as intended. Turning towards the hologram, Sandra do you have any blueprints of the headquarters that we are going to infitrate? A summary of what we will be up against? Any information will make our job eaiser.

"Don't preach at me, girl. You don't have the credibility or the moral authority. For all we know, you are the source of the problems, and we're here because you figure we're gullible enough to swallow your tale hook, line, and sinker. It wouldn't be the first time someone tried to use me to hurt good people."

Sandra nodded solemnly at Falcon's response . . . though Falcon got the distinct impression that conversation and the outcome were exactly as expected . . . as though she knew your response. It was very disconcerting to say the least - though she gave no real outward appearance to the others of the situation. Her rotation began anew, and she looked to each of the Avengers in turn for further questions.

Through his mindlink with Redwing, Falcon felt communication from Redwing, "I know that look . . . though I've never been on the receiving end before."

“Other than as stated earlier, the defenses are truly unknown,” Sandra replied, concern and annoyance somewhat evident in her voice. “In this timeline, there is not internet . . . nor are public documents available to any who ask. There are no copies of blueprints on any accessible computer available to my resources. Given time, we could travel to another timeline adjacent to this one and do the research there – though by its very nature there would be slight variances in that timelines Supreme Retreat than this one.”

Flint smirked. "Great. So we're goin' in blind, s'what you're tellin' us."

Binary

Flint smirked. "Great. So we're goin' in blind, s'what you're tellin' us."

"Nothing new I'd say. So do is there more we should know or is the rest up to us? In that case we'd better get started."

Captain America

"Sounds like a reconnaissance mission to me. Vision will need to get inside and Sandman can help cover him. Falcon and Redwing provide air support. The rest of us standby and wait for word on what needs done next. If things go bad we set up an Avengers-class distraction to keep the Soviets off our covert members." He stopped for a moment. He had not realized he was speaking out loud.

Can't let the commies get to me. Need to keep it together, the team is counting on me.

Captain America finished his planning out loud, since he had already started. "Binary will be our major firepower. Moon Knight will stay with me. We will keep the Soviets busy and off balance for the others. Beast, I want linked with Vision, if at all possible. If something happens, Hank will have access to any information gathered. Mr. Immortal..... Mr. Immortal will be our main distraction."

He paused for a minute. "That is if Sandra has nothing to add and no one has any objections. I am planning this based off the Avengers I know. If any of you have any objections or changes you feel need made you should feel free to say so."

Vision

Vision listens as Captian America gives the details of the plan nodding slightly, it was the best plan avaliable with the limited details they had.

It would seem to be the best plan considering the lack of information we have also we should all have some sort of communications device, something that can't be easily monitored.

MoonKnight

MoonKnight rocking slightly in his chair as his brain bounces from one statement to the next. Question upon question. He perked his ears up when cap started barking orders....he was always good at barking orders.

"Whats the plan with us Cap? And what type of distraction is Motor Mouth over here going to conduct? As he had flicked his head in the direction of Mr. I, Talk them into deep sleep.....or gut wrenching laughter? This isn't even beginning to sound easy, an entire world of communist Russians? I'm not saying we can't do it....I'm just saying if the most fearsome telepath/mutant on earth can get executed. I don't know about your realities but, Charles Xavier was no joke in mine! We have to have one solid plan and no mistakes.

Avengers Mansion

Flint smirked. "Great. So we're goin' in blind, s'what you're tellin' us."

“Not at all, Sandman,” Sandra replied. “I can conjecture what might be there, educated guesses based on what information I have available. However, I wanted to supply you with all of the facts available first.”

“There are reports of dangerous criminals and radicals being apprehended and taken into custody by the Supreme Soviets, yet there is no holding facility on any local maps. It would be reasonable to assume that there may be some holding facilities beneath team’s facility. If so, there are undoubtedly guards at that facility . . . or that those apprehended are all dead.”

“In addition, in a promotional photograph taken of their facility from the view on an ocean liner, there appears to be some variation on this rocky area of the cliffs,” Sandra stated as an image appeared on everyone’s screen of the Soviet base atop cliffs looking over the ocean. Beast, Falcon, Vision, and Moon Knight all noted the slight different in rock on one part of the cliff, perhaps indicating an exit of some kind.

It would seem to be the best plan considering the lack of information we have also we should all have some sort of communications device, something that can't be easily monitored.

“There are communicators available in supply as well. These are the same communicators that are standard issue to the Avengers teams. They are secure against casual investigation or monitoring but the communication is not secure against a deliberate attempt at access,” Sandra finished.

Mr. Immortal's distraction idea

cap started barking orders....he was always good at barking orders.

"Whats the plan with us Cap? And what type of distraction is Motor Mouth over here going to conduct? As he had flicked his head in the direction of Mr. I, Talk them into deep sleep.....or gut wrenching laughter? This isn't even beginning to sound easy, an entire world of communist Russians? I'm not saying we can't do it....I'm just saying if the most fearsome telepath/mutant on earth can get executed. I don't know about your realities but, Charles Xavier was no joke in mine! We have to have one solid plan and no mistakes.

Looking proud at first that Cap actually used the words "and Mr. Immortal will..." Craigers almost didn't hear what followed... With his chest puffed out and proud Mr. I glanced around and then deflated with the extreme lack of confidence.

Moonknight....... a second tier poorman's Daredevil at best...... he thought, but Cap.....?..?...?

Craig shook his head and finally looked back up......... he'd realized that he'd probably spouted his mouth off a little too much, even Moonknight was fed up with him.
So Craig began.... he'd follow Cap's order.... he'd do his duty..... He'd take this one for the team..... He'd do what he does best....... and then he said quietly.


"How... how much firepower do you think they'd through at Captain America wavin the biggest stars an stripes he could carry fellas?......... doya think they'd know what Cap's chainmail and shield means? doya think that THE CAPTAIN AMERICA coming back to 'reclaim' Manhattan would get their attention?
The way Ah figure it they'd probably go after Cap pretty hard - bein' how their Cap switched sides and they know how tough he is......
How much he could mean to any rebels.....
Well....
Cap would be real lucky to survive and attack from all their fronts on full scale assault - and even if he did survive they'd surely take him prisoner...
Well what if they DID take on Cap... What if they DID kill him.....
Ya think that'd be a good enough distraction?
and if'n so
doya think you have a costume that could fit me sir?"
as Mr. Immortal glanced over in the Star Spangled Avenger's direction like a scolded puppy....

"an the longer I could manage to stay alive the longer you fellas would have without them on yer tail...

Captain America

He had to admit that Mr. Immortal not only came across as ambitious but, his mind worked in the right direction. The entire team was coming together real well, actually. He looked at each of them and his mind was able to relax slightly. Apparently you really could bring any group of Avengers together and they would get the job done.

"I am hoping to avoid an all out battle. Mr. Immortal I want your distraction to be just that. I want to keep them away from the Vision and Sandman. If things turn bad we know that no real harm will come to you and then Binary will be available to turn the tide. I doubt they have anyone of her power level still active. Moon Knight and I will watch for a vehicle that could provide additional intelligence on their world."

"Ideally, and I have no idea if we will have the chance, I want to confront Steve. I feel that if he is the man we know there is a chance we can rationalize with him and get the Soviet's trust. We are obviously very capable in combat however, I think it would be much better if we could accomplish our task without destroying their city."
