Outcasts Forever: Issue #1 - Red America

Early afternoon

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.

Hank followed. "And while our Vision is doing that, I'd like to see any files you have on Steve Rogers."

“Of course, of course . . . mi casa, su casa,” Vision IV replied. He ushered Sandman in as well and shut the door behind him.

"A few months after I reopened the Xavier Institute, I got a letter from a little girl named Sarah - sweet kid, . . . In this timeline, something happened to make that man give up on America, and I want to find out what."

“Touching . . . truly touching. I do believe you have touched something deep inside,” Vision IV replied. Sarcasm wasn’t evident in his voice or his speech pattern, and was clearly unreadable in the energy backed sockets of his eyes. Vision IV typed a few buttons on console, then nodded to Vision that he had access to the system.

"I'd like ta meet this guy. Your Cap, I mean."

“Speaking of ‘Cap’ meetings. Your ‘Cap’ has just met my ‘Cap.’ This should be quite enlightening,” Vision IV replied.

Meanwhile, Vision was working through the historical databases of the Supreme Soviet Compound searching for anomalies and running the program given to him by Sandra to locate the difference in the time stream. The program executed and sent the secure data transmission to the Mansion. Meanwhile, Vision had the opportunity to review the program ‘over its shoulder’ as it ran on the main frame. The program appeared to tag variances with probability percentages through the entire historical database. Divergences were becoming more and more significant in recent years. Following the path backward the trend continues with fewer and fewer anomalies . . .

The Beast reviewed the personal logs of Steve Rogers, Comrade Soviet. It was a simple matter to come up with the algorithm to unlock his protected files. The question now was where or when to look . . .

Sandman watched as the others worked, keeping his eyes on the metallic one called Vision IV.

Wonderman, hp 5/5, 1 stun hit

Wonderman shakes his head, then giving Dr. Doom a smirk he says "Gees Doom, when did you become such a losser? Working for the commies, I thought you were into the conquest of mankind or something? Or is it dogkind, I can never keep that straight"

He then reaves and swings two quick haymaker at iron faceplate and lets the man have it!


Rapid Strike, Power Attack! -5 to hit +5 to damage; +6 (+1 attack focus) to attack roll, if he hits, Damage is +19S

 

[Mimic]

As the metal man seemed to be occupied Vision will pull up the current roster for this world's avengers in particular Vision IV, in cause there is any kind of override. He will also continue to monitor the program that Sandra had given him.

Wasp

'Great...everybody seems to know everyone else, except for me...at least they all seem to agree on who the enemy is--WOW!' She nearly exclaims aloud as Doom soaks up two frontal assaults from heavy hitters, while at practically the same time opening some kind of portal. She still stays close to Wonder Man, though. 'No sense in embarassing myself trying to wear him down...but maybe I can make it easier for Simon to land some blows.'

Electrons gleefully free themselves from their cellular captivity within her body, rushing swiftly down her arms in a tiny ion storm to gather in slender fingertips. Normally, Wasp would let the capacitance discharge as raw electricity, but years ago she'd learned the trick to agitating the photons in a particular area and causing a short but intense light show. Aimed correctly, it was more than enough to overload a man's sight and make him blind for a few moments. If she could take away Doom's eyes...

OOC: Dazzle +8 vs. Doom.

Beast, back to business

"I'd like ta meet this guy. Your Cap, I mean."

"You may just get the chance," Hank said. "Dimensional travel is a funny business."


When reviewing the Steve Rogers files, Hank initially focused on two key points - the actual defection, and the circumstances surrounding his awakening. There was something wrong; he had it on the tip of his brain, but couldn't quite articulate it.

Beyond that, Hank reviewed the history as a whole looking for anything that really stood out, and even scanned the personal information in case there were any glaring inconsistencies with the cap he knew.

Battle Before the Baxter Building – Second Half, round two, continued

The Thing looked at Reed, clearly measuring him, then said, “Okay, Big-Brain, ya never steered me wrong before . . . well, except for this . . . .” Thing finished as he pointed to his own body.

The Falcon and Redwing stayed air-borne but did not attack . . . both appeared willing to draw the fire of the others in order to help.

"Hey dark lady, what is your deal in this? Stark shoots a look over at Darkstar.

“Should it not be obvious, War Machine?” Darkstar replied, then indicated the trio that just landed, “I am with them . . . .”

Janet Van Dyne looked over the combat . . . everyone seemed to be avoiding her. Though, in her current form and dress, she did look like a civilian. That would probably change with her attack.(a) She raised her arm and fired the charged particles. The shot went wide and the trio of melee combatants seemed to take more notice of the new arrivals than her shot.

Reed Richards looked to Captain America and said, “I’m sorry, Liberator, I’ve got to take this chance at freedom . . . I hope you understand. I wish there was more time . . . so much I want to ask you about.”

With that Reed and the Thing (and apparently Sue – though there was no sight of her) hustled the distance to and through the portal to the other side.

(a) Didn’t see anywhere where you shrank. Wasp’s attack (Roll of 4 + 5 ranged attack + 1 PBS –4 firing into melee combat for a total of 6, a miss.)

OOC: Paused for a change to Iron Man’s actions if any – based on arrivals and results from last round. Summary Hp’s spent (Binary 4) Damage levels (Cap 1 stun hit, Binary 2 lethal/2 stun, Falcon 1 lethal hit/disabled, Iron Man 1 lethal, Wonder Man 1 stun). And now . . . actions? Initiatives: (Doom, Falcon, Wasp, <paused> Iron Man, Binary, Wonder Man, Cap, Darkstar) Others added as they enter. Also, Villian points used - 3.

Iron Man, 6/6 HP, 1 L, -1 Armor

“Should it not be obvious, War Machine?” Darkstar replied, then indicated the trio that just landed, “I am with them . . . .”

Reeling back from the burning in his chest, Stark turns his head and swings his arm into line with Darkstar. The armored head shook slightly Let's hope this hurts her. "Sorry, I was distracted. War Machine is a good name though, very macho. Two beams of energy streak out towards the 'black hole' woman.

OOC: Just change target of last action to darkstar. Point Blank/Rapid Shot/Aerial Combat(Attack) +9/+9 attack +11S damage. Also, I would like to use a Hero Point on any damage save where the roll is below a 10.

Battle Before the Baxter Building – Second Half, round two, continued

"Sorry, I was distracted. War Machine is a good name though, very macho. Twin beams of energy streaked out toward the 'black hole' woman.

Repulsor rays flashed down from his airborne position. (a) Darkstar didn’t seem to be paying attention as the twin beams slammed into her, knocking her to the ground. On her hands and knees, shaking her head, the darkness seems to retreat from the woman.

Energy coalesced around Binary as she launched herself into the sky. Doom didn’t seem to pay her any mind . . . his thoughts seemed to be on Wonder Man.

"Gees Doom, when did you become such a loser? Working for the commies, I thought you were into the conquest of mankind or something? Or is it dog-kind, I can never keep that straight"

Wonder Man lined up a double haymaker, (b) connected soundly to his side and face. The head-shot whipped Doom’s head around, and he rubbed his chin as he regarded Wonder Man. Simon felt a numbness in his fists after connecting with Doom, energy crackled up his arms and he felt a spasm or two.

(a) Iron Man’s attack (Rolls of 13 and 16 + 9 ranged attack for totals of 22 and 25, hitting twice. Damage saves vs. 26s are 22 and 18, two stun hits and stunned.)

(b) Wonder Man’s attack (Rolls of 14 and 15 + 6 melee attack for totals of 20 and 21, hitting twice. Damage saves vs. 34s are 31 and made, one stun hit.) Saves for Wonder Man for Doom’s electrical field are 31 and 31, for 2 stun hits

OOC: Summary Hp’s spent (Binary 4, Falcon 1) Damage levels (Cap 1 stun hit, Binary 2 lethal/2 stun, Falcon 1 lethal hit/disabled, Iron Man 1 lethal, Wonder Man 3 stun). And now . . . actions? Initiatives: (Doom, Falcon, Wasp, Iron Man, Binary, Wonder Man, <paused> Cap, Darkstar) Others added as they enter. Also, Villian points used – 3 (Darkstar 1L/2s stunned, Doom 1s).

Captain America (1 stun)

Madison and 43rd Street

Early afternoon

So much for not getting taken off guard or split up again!

Captain America stood his ground as the armored woman landed on the ground in front of him. His eyes took in the entire scene as the two crimson clad figures leapt from her arms and took up positions. Then the one dressed as the Red Guardian spoke. But it wasn't the Guardian. Wasn't his voice. No, this was Comrade Russia, Steve Rogers.

"...Steve..."

He never took his eyes off the trio of Soviets as he spoke. "Reed, get out of here while you can. I understand completely."

"Avengers, let Doom go! He's with the FF! Concentrate on the Soviets!" With that, he attacked Comrade Russia! He started his attack by throwing his shield, at full force, directly at the man. He followed directly behind it, attempting to knock him to the ground.
