Outcasts Forever: Issue #1 - Red America

[Mimic]

Vision

Vision IV returned his gaze to the computer screens, “I would be able to assist with your search if I had some idea of what anomaly you are looking for . . . .”

"Unfortunately the exact anomaly we are looking for is unknown at this moment, it is the reason we were sent here." Vision remarks as he continues to watch the program scan the historical database.

"Is there any information we can relay to our teammates that can help them in their conflict?"

Wasp
Hero Points: 5/5; Status: Unhurt

She had told herself to stay focused, to stick to the plan. She had promised not to let it get to her. She had thought she could handle it. Of course, she was wrong.

Practically invisible to the melee going on around her, Wasp hovers in the air, transfixed by this sinister incarnation of Steve Rogers. Were one to ask, before she came here she'd have thought him to be a universal constant, a hero in every timeline, super-soldier or not. Of course, she should have known she'd be wrong...scientifically, 'universal constant' was really only a title, and there were always exceptions. And here he was.

For a moment, she watches Comrade Russia and Captain America trade blows, more than a little fascinated by the sheer surrealism of it. Once Colossus steps in, however, the reverie is broken. 'Cap's getting creamed...stupid girl, stop fooling around and help him!' A glance over her shoulder tells her that Darkstar is down. Time for a change of plan. "Wonder Man, Captain America's in trouble! Help me with the Russian girl!" she shouts, even as tiny wings buzz furiously to bring her closer to Colossus and bio-electricity gathers in her fingertips. Globules of light gather and then explode in the osmium devotchka's face.

OOC: Dazzle +8 vs. Colossus, if necessary moving to within 40' (one range increment.) At this size her ranged attack bonus is +21.

Iron Man, 6/6 HP, 2 L, -2 Armor

Baxter Building

You are playing WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY out of your league, Tony. And you need a drink. A really stiff drink.

As the women powered by unbeing is slammed by both Binary and Wonder-kid his suit begins its basic analysis of the woman before the wearer, Tony Stark, looks up in the sky at the hovering QuinJet the spark of an idea flitting through his brain. Wasp said the russians like guns and that thing is bigger than my armor.

With only a slight hesitation Iron Man uses his HUD to contact the planes onboard computers. Searching for a gun to blow Comrade Russia back to oblivion.

OOC: Datalink to tap into Jet, Computers +15, Hero Point if less than 12 on check.
If firing available, Point Blank Shot?, Precise Shot
No matter the Results of Datalink- Aerial Combat(Defense +1)

 

[Karl Green]

Wonderman, hp 4/5, 5 stun hits

Wonderman shakes his head to clear it again thinking Man these commies can hit hard, lucky I got a thick skull, hehe

Hearing Wasp he looks over at Captain America "Commie pinko bastards!" and charges Colossus "Hey, say hello to be big FIST!"

Charge +2 to attack -2 to defense. Punching once, Power Attack -5 to hit +5 to damage (+2 for flanking?? Not sure), Attack roll +8 (+10 w/flank), Damage if he hits +19S.

Supreme Soviet Compound – Computer Room
Manhattan
Early afternoon

"Unfortunately the exact anomaly we are looking for is unknown at this moment, it is the reason we were sent here."

As the Vision spoke, the screens all flashed brilliantly once, then went to black. Looking at the mainframe, no lights blinks . . . no sound was heard. The computer room, which previously hummed and clicked, was suddenly completely silent. Only the diffuse, life-draining, fluorescent lights above provided light.

The Vision was fairly certain that answer was but a moment away. If the upload with Sandra was broken at the same instant, then Vision IV would be the only one to either have the answer, or quickly be able to calculate the answer.

“That is all the time we have for today, gentlemen,” Vision IV commented. “I have uploaded a copy of the mainframe historical records and personal logs, and locked the system down. I hope in this manner I have become more . . . useful . . . in your plans.”

“Now . . . shall we go to the aid of your companions before they are killed?” Vision IV asked.

Beast, 4/5 HP, Unhurt (except for pride.)

“That is all the time we have for today, gentlemen,” Vision IV commented. “I have uploaded a copy of the mainframe historical records and personal logs, and locked the system down. I hope in this manner I have become more . . . useful . . . in your plans.”

“Now . . . shall we go to the aid of your companions before they are killed?” Vision IV asked.

Maybe next mission we'll find someone I can outwit, Hank thought. I wonder if there's an alternate universe ruled by the Blob.

"Yes. It appears we're done here."

To Sandman, he added, "This timeline's Cap wasn't the last to defect. He was the first; the Soviets turned him at the end of the war, and he's been working for them ever since. Their Bucky was turned at the same time, and went into politics." He glanced quickly at Vision IV, and added, "We have severely underestimated the opposition here. Whether he was programmed that way or just hates to be reminded of what he's lost, their Cap has a psychotic hatred of anyone wearing the old uniform. They're going to hammer our team with everything they've got." After another quick glance at the silver android, he added, "It's time for us to come up with a backup plan."

"It's time for us to come up with a backup plan."

"I may have one suggestion . . . depending on your haste, of course," Vision IV responded. "The Supreme Soviet have here at their compound a point-to-point teleportation device - designed by Reed Richards . . . by locking onto their signal, I could teleport us directly there. With your permission of course."

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Hank reached into his bag of tricks and pulled out a 6" metal tube. He flicked a switch, and the tube extended into a quarterstaff.

"Do it," he said.

ooc: Hero point to switch gadgets from Invisibility to Weapon. Yes, it's like the staves the Rangers use on B5.

Sandman

Still unnerved by the silver android, Flint's uneasiness was overwhelmed by his desire to assist his teammates. "Yeah, let's get back there and pound 'em."

 

[Radiant]

Binary

Carol lands in a roll and gets to her feet again. This time she knew up front what would happen. Still changing back into weak flesh with so much firepower around ehr is more than a bit irritating. She lifts up Darkstar's unconscious body and looks for cover for the both of them.
"Can't have you be incinerated by a stray shot now can I?"

ooc: getting into any cover if available and praying that my powers charge up soon...
