“ ‘Be Ready this time?’ ” A resonating voice from behind Captain America called out. “I am not surprised to find you ill-prepared to deal with simplest of tasks . . . a meddlesome fool as always . . . .”

The sound of the voice sent chills across Jack's flesh. Deep. Metallic. Arrogant. Commanding. He quickly turned to see he was not wrong. Dr. Doom.

His shield fell instinctively into place as he took a ready stance and prepared for the worst. Doom. Of course. As soon as Ultron and Galactus show up, things should fall right into place.

"Doom. I don't know what you're doing here but we can put you down just as easily as the Soviets."

"You bet" Simon says with a smile as he flies along besides the two, ready for action

Hank nodded. "It's not my favorite plan ever - for the record, that would involve a sidetrip to the beach and plenty of Margarita shooters. We will be careful. And if there's a problem, I'd rather have the rest of the Avengers by our side. And maybe the Hulk. And a few Army divisions . . ."

" . . . and maybe a Norse or Greek God or two . . . ," could be barely heard from the metallic humanoid still standing in the computer room. Vision felt a subtle disconnect from his audio receptors . . . as though someone were listening in on the line and hanging up.

The Beast smiled his brightest smile as he turned back to the android, certain that the entire conversation had been overheard. "We've talked it over, and we accept."

"Excellent, let us begin all over again, then. My designation is Vision IV, it is a pleasure to be working with you, I'm certain," Vision IV stated. "How would you like to gather this information, personally, or shall you tell me what to look for and I will find it for you. You should step inside my office and close the door, there still is security in the compound which would be . . . troublesome."

Battle Before the Baxter Building – Second Half

Iron Man, Wasp, Wonder Man

Iron Man reviewed the descent of the Quinjet and his closing trajectory (which would involve crossing over the combat zone to intercept). Looking down in front of the Baxter Building, the trio (Wasp, Wonder Man, Iron Man) could see over a dozen Guardsmen in red, Crimson Dynamo and the Titanium Man all down in various positions.

A female, burning with white hot fire, was closing behind Captain America and the Falcon. Another female . . . at least it might be a female was an inky blackness from which no light escaped. Reed Richards and the Thing were standing beside Captain America and before them stood . . . Dr Doom.

The trio was coming upon this scene from behind Dr. Doom. The enemy quinjet will be arriving from behind the Baxter Building at any moment.

Stark fly's over to the ground about 30 feet from Dr. Doom and sets Wasp down on the ground. He gives a happy little wave over at the group "It looks like you've been making new friends. Which is good because we have some more guests to entertain." Iron Man points up at the arriving jet. Oh goody, now we have psycho robo man and 7 angry reds most of which are probably good guys that just got color blinded. Hope Cap has a plan.

OOC: Sorry about the confusion on placement of us and QuinJet. I won't be shooting the plane to slow it down.

Battle Before the Baxter Building – Second Half, round one

"Doom. I don't know what you're doing here but we can put you down just as easily as the Soviets."

“I hardly believe so,” Doom barked. “Insignificant little worm with an intelligence to match thinks that he can put down Dr. Doom,” A shimmering field lit briefly around Dr. Doom, then Doom weaved his hands at Captain America.
The black pavement reached amoeba-like tentacles around Captain America, gripping his legs and holding him tight to the ground(a).

The Thing yelled in anger, grabbing a nearby Red Hunter who was lying limp on the ground and threw him at Dr. Doom. The armored body impacted off of Doom, but didn’t seem to do any harm.

(a) Cap was hit by a ranged touch attack and his reflex save [Base 5 plus roll of 17] failed. Cap is Snared (-2 to attack, -4 to dex, cannot move from spot)

OOC: Actions. New Initiatives in order: (Doom, Thing, Falcon, Iron Man, Wasp, Binary, Wonderman, Cap, Darkstar, Reed, Sue) Others added as they enter.

 

[Radiant]

Binary

Iron Man? Allright, why not. The good guys can get lucky break too for a change. Between the two of us we can probably take on Doom, heck he might even be tough enough to do it alone.
Surounded by the smoke of the cooking pavement to her feet Binary raises her arms towards the green cloaked figure.
"Sorry Doom, I'm not that smart either. Just powerfull. Now get lost."
In a wave of white light she launches herself at Doom. In all the smoke and fire it is hard to see what part of her is the one that hits but considering her whole body consists of plasma it doesn't realy matter.
Great, and Darkstar right behind me. Now as screwed up as this world is, please don't let him be a member of the supreme soviet or something crazy like that.

ooc: aerial combat to increase attack, attack +12 (+1 from aerial)=13. Damage +14 (and another damage+10 for the energy field if we touch).

I need access to the base computer and I will have to upload the data on a secure transmission signal, they will be able to pin point the key turning point that has shifted the history of this world so drastically. Once that is done we can leave. Vision states as he enters the room.

I guess he isn't a good guy in this universe. Let's hope the soviets don't like him either. Flying up to 30 ft from Doom and 10 feet in the air Iron Man holds forth his hand lets off a blast from his suit. "You know, I don't like the reds...but Nazi's are worse. Hey, I did learn something from Patton.

OOC: Aeriel Combat goes to attack. Point Blank Shot is used. Precise Shot will be used if needed as well. +11 to hit with a dmg of +11.

Wonderman, hp 5/5, unhurt

[occ depending when it gets around to Wonderman's initiative

Wonderman smiles and yells "DOOM DRIVE" flying at max speed to double-fist slam into Dr. Doom!

Charge attack +2 to hit/-2 to Defense, assuming he is 80 some feet away, Ramming Attack for +8 damage (total +13 to attack roll, Defense -2, if he hits +22S damage, no need for save as it is below my Protection, unless you want to HS which is cool with me)
