Outside Stark Manor
Manhattan
Early afternoon
All but Binary
The man holding the strange gun pressed the trigger and a pale beam of light shot forth, covering many of the Avengers. He looked satisfied at an indicator light on the gun . . . until . . .
Carol screamed and burst into flames falling to the ground and melting the concrete as she fell. She tried her best to act as if she were burning, though acting was never her calling [Bluff: Roll 2 plus 3 Attractive plus 3 Cha, total 8]. The other Avengers scatter from the burning woman while the men on the street look on.
The man with the gun looks startled at what his gun apparently did, then at the display on his gun and said to his companions in a thick Russian/Bronx accent, “It is Marvel Girl, but I thought she was dead. Soon she’ll wish she was . . .”
The distraction was successful for the others . . .
Vision, Sandman and the Beast dart in one direction, the Beast hearing one of the startled men they pass remark “Wow, she’s . . . beautiful . . .” The trio make in around the corner with no incident.
Captain Amercian, Moon Knight, Mr Immortal and the Falcon run in the opposite direction. Moon Knight bumped against one of the men in his ‘panic,’ casually lifting a radio from the man. The foursome fade into the background down the street . . . with no pursuit.
The radio pipes up a moment later, in Russian (for those who understand it): “Marvel Girl sighted, 890 Fifth street, backup requested. Told you if she was still alive, she’d come for her daughter.”
OOC: All other Avengers free to head to the destinations.
Binary
Binary’s performance was successful in one regard, she drew attention from all of the others. Bathed in white-hot flames, Binary glanced around noting the others had fled. The men all had drawn weapons and were taking defensive positions (varying amounts of cover). One of the men across the street was speaking into a radio, though she couldn’t hear what he was saying over the crackling of the pavement beneath her.
