Outcasts Forever: Issue #1 - Red America

[Keia]

Near Queens Blvd
Manhattan
Early Afternoon

Captain America and Mr. Immortal crossed to the other side of the street and continued walking down toward Queens Boulevard. As they waited on traffic and discussed the past, Captain America realized that they were only about a block away from the Latverian Embassy. Not that it was important now . . . but it was something to keep in mind.

The Falcon and Moonknight had already crossed Queens Boulevard and were making their was east down the street. Falcon received a communication from Redwing that based on the explosions and general mayhem that a supers fight had to be going on. Several armored units were in conflict with whatever was happeneing at the Baxter Building.

Both duos would be within the surroundings of the Baxter Building in a matter of minutes at a brisk pass. As they considered their options, several police cars and a fire engine blared past heading toward the Baxter Building as well.

Very glad that no one had to get hurt during this not too subtle play Carol makes sure to get away from her pursuisers without obviosuly hurrying. She heads for the disturbance she head of then they arrived here, gathering that she might be far more usefull at that place. Apart from burning the place to slack there's not much she could do at the supreme soviets headquarter.

“Ya better be a good fare, ya yahoos,” the cabbie exclaimed as the car slid along side. “Dem politico types always tip really well. Where ya headin’?”

Hank gave directions, trying to get as close as possible to the Supreme Soviets' compound without making it obvious that they were going to the Supreme Soviets' compound.

OOC: Checking pockets, you can easily make the fare.

ooc: Most fortuitous.

Captain America

As they continued down the street they had no real problem keeping Marc and Sam in sight. They crossed another intersection and jack's eyes darted down the street. The Latverian embassy was a block down the road, at least in his world. He hoped that didn't make a difference in their mission here. We have no idea what anyone's allegiance is here. I don't want to get into a full blown war.... What if we don't get the information right away. I wonder if we get stuck on this world, become a part of it. I'm sure Hank has some ideas on that. I wonder if there's a Jack Monroe here? Is he a hero? What about another version of Craig? Whoa, no need to get carried away yet. A small smile creased his face as several emergency vehicles passed by.

"I guess this is what it's like to be a man on the street when we are normally doing our thing." He Noticed Craig had not said anything for almost a block. That had been the quietest he had seen him. He really means well, I just hope he isn't getting psyched out by all of this.

MoonKnight

As the firetrucks and medical vehicles roared past MoonKnight felt a cold breeze sweep through him.

Falcon…squads are moving pretty good huh. Somethin’ ain’t smellin’ right! Smells like a suicide mission. This ain’t the first one I’ve been one, won’t be the last either my friend. What does you partner see? Anything?

Falcon

"Good question. Hold up a sec. I'll get Redwing to take a look."

The Falcon pauses to tie his shoe.

Redwing, get a look over near the Baxter Building. We need to know what's going on that way.

"I guess this is what it's like to be a man on the street when we are normally doing our thing." He Noticed Craig had not said anything for almost a block. That had been the quietest he had seen him. He really means well, I just hope he isn't getting psyched out by all of this.

geeezze the epic proportions of what we're bein' asked to face... it's kinda daunting... it's makin' me awefully nervous, but Ah just gotta keep focused gain Cap and the other's trust... be a valuable member of the team... MAN - this is really startin' to psych me out.........
Craig thought, deep in his mind as the two Avengers made their way down the street...

"huh? ohh... uuuhhh yeah, Cap... I suppose so... Ah guess... well - Ah mean you probably ain't felt like a normal joe in'awhile...... but yeah, Ah guess... this is how Ah feel everyday. Nobody much turns their head for me, even IN costume... heheh"
Craig chuckled nervously glancing up to see what Cap thought...

Vision does his best to stay merged with the Sandman.

Sandman

Although it was difficult to maintain the ruse, Flint concentrated on creating the illusion that there was only one man where he and the Vision stood together. Flint merely nodded, when Beast gave the cabby directions. He was nervous, sitting in the back of the cab, and he hoped it didn't take too long to get to their destination.

Vision, Beast, Sandman

The cabbie knew his business, taking the duo (as he thought), down Park Avenue, then across Triborough Bridge [incidentally the only road access onto Ward’s Island and the Supreme Soviet compound]. Other than the parks (Randall Park and Ward Island Park) and the compound, the only other possible location was a uniform and costume shop called Fecheimer Uniforms and Costumes.

Henry pointed out that that was their destination as the cab got closer to it. The fare was paid and Vision and Sandman had no trouble maintaining their fusion. Looking at the store, it was apparently a military uniform and supply store as well and a superhero costume shop and souvenir shop. Costumes on display included Black Widow, Red Hawk, and Comrade Russia.

There were a few cars in the parking lot as well as one school bus, which belonged to St. Mary's School for young women apparently. The store was open and people milling about could be seen from within.

A sign down the road pointed to the west and read, “Supreme Soviet Compound ¼ mile, Restricted area, Authorized Personnel (Tours by appointment only)”
