Cool.
Now.
QUICKSILVER - soon as we get over Up-town I'll have Clay hit the dirt, you're gonna get down town... you should be able to get in prior to Thor and Tony. You're gonna be on spy-mode... GOT IT Piotr? I said - got it Maximoff!!? Alright, from what I've got there's four gateways on this construct we have..... don't look at me funny ... Yeah - I said construct. Apparently it's some sort of Stonehenge like structure. you're not to engage or get within 50' but I do want a full Sit-Rep on all angles from ground. get back to me after - we're coming down at Northgate.


"Yeah yeah, I understood. I'll go fetch a camera helmet, so you can see and record everything I'll see." He pause a moment, he looks like he has blink, and nor got an helmet in his hand. "I got the helmet SXC45N7-9. So, I do my jogging around the structure, looks around to find anything inetresting, stay out of trouble, which mean 50 feet at least and report to you. Roger that!"

After that, Quicksilver report to the soldier to make sure the feed with the camera is good and prepare to do all he just said at the planned time.

"Finally-some-exercise-Staying-in-bed-wasnt-really-for-me." he says to himself

Spider-Man

"Oh boy... That was absolute the worst hangover I've had... and I didn't even drink anything..."
Spider-man is shaking the last cobwebs out of his head while Fury gives his briefing.

During their flight, he presents his hand to Dr. Banner. "Doctor, this is an honor. I've read much about you and your work. So how does this gizmo work, exactly?"

When they get onsite, Spider-man starts trying to work on picking up minute details from his Spider Sense.
 

Thor - Ultimates

THOR - I want you to get some control on this nonsense as he motions up at the raining storm... and get me a visual scout of the Park as we follow.

*Thor holds up Mjolnir high above his head and concentrates on stopping or at least calming the raging storm above him, energy glows and electicity arcs from the mystic hammer as it attempts to obey the Asgardian's mental commmand.*

<ooc: Not sure if a roll is involved here, but I am assuming that if Storm couldn't do anything neither could he, if I am wrong I will edit.>

*He stands there for a moment or two before lowering his hammer, a concerned look crosses his face as he activates his communicator."

"No go with the storm Fury, whatever is directing it has greater control over it then I do."

*With that Thor takes to the sky again, heading towards Central park, to scout the area from the sky.*
 

the CONVERGENCE on Central Park

[NOTE: everyone, if you're wanting to make a sense check or some other action that you think requires a roll... go ahead and give me you roll total (ability/power modifer + roll) as best you can see appropriate following the action you describe. I'll then do any modifiers needed for the situation and reply with what your result is (ie. if you made/missed the Difficulty Check)]
For now I'll just assume the results based on your ability/power modifiers that I have available and describe the resulted action, to move the game along best. Cool?


As all the Heroes converge on the futuristic version of Stonehenge set in lower Central Park - The individual pages of EACH group's comic title turns to reveal a super-FOLD-out spread!! both pages of the spread fold out creating an image across the pages that amounts to a DOUBLE sized spread!!
the scene shows the lower side of the park with the massive pillars of the silver-reflective and white metalled beast of construction, we look down from the south eastern edge of the park... the four giant archways clearly visible from above, the structure is circular, nearly 15' wall width, standing some 40' from the ground to wall top. From above we can see the deep dark shadows of the inside from the uncovered dome. a bird flutters by trying to dodge out of the pouring rain as we enter the scene.

To the South Archway only moments ago Daredevil entered.
At the West Archway the X-men watch their mentor dissappear inward.
On the East Archway the Fantastic Four begin analysis.
and to the North Archway the Ultimate arrive dispercing HSD and NYPD around the structure...

Larger that Grand Central Station itself the collosal peice of technology rest peacefully... no sound or other sense is stirred... to the normal human.


WOLVERINE
As Logan catches the wafting breeze, he confirms this truly is Xavier. In fact he can not only approve of Chucks normal pheramone but the scent of the chicken soup Kitty had prepared for the Professor only hours ago still lingers on his breath... Logan also catches a sound pitched that only a canine could hear - a brief Zzat of energy and then the slight whiff of Ozone.

QUICKSILVER
The streets are still abuzz NYC is the place to be and the traffic in late eveing proves it. Rain stings a touch as Maximoff speeds from upper-Manhattan toward the park. With a quick run around to the East, he see's (and may converse with) the Fantastic Four... nothing to the south but a drunken street thug lying passed out from his last bottle, likely... To the west he zips up and around ... for a moment he might have seen something inside the gate - but nothing within 50'.
and just as quickly as he came he's back to report to Fury and Captain America as he watches Thor and Namor descend...

THOR
KRA-KOOOM!! This gaile that Thor road in on was a beautiful site... He may have even encouraged it in the beginning but as he raised might Mjolnir aloft the winds would not heed the Thunder God's command... Nor would the Lightning and Thunder. If anything rain whipped and poured across his brow even harder as if in definance of the god. Descending from the heights with Quartermain's Helicopter behind him Thor could look down into the bowl shape this Stonehenge created... Though only shadows could be made out inward, a mystery unto itself...

NAMOR
Riding through the currents of Thor's wind buffet the Submariner dives toward Central Park. Thor holds on the wind attempting to control the rain as it drenches the area, to no avail... Coming in from the North Namor can see movement to the Eastern and Western Gateways of the Structure. He knows one to be the FF, Sue is likely amoung them, likely the Eastern side - but before the thought of her lovely skin takes him he can't help but wonder of the Western Arch...

HAWKEYE
Christ's Church of the City, W.62nd. Clint finds a nest-point. He's a natural at this... Perfect sniper positioning overlooking the NorthEastern side of the colossal structure. His night googles drip with rain as he scans the area... Positive contact with Cap and Fury as they repel in from the Blackhawk at the North Gate. He sees Quartermain then pull the chopper hard east and north to find a set down point for Banner's equipment. Not much out of the ordinary, so to speak. New York's finest are coordining off civilians and Homeland Security agents are already mingled with them incogneto.
And then... something to the Eastern Gate....... but ... no.... it's nothing... a blip on his recon... nothing...

SPIDER-MAN
Hawkeye, then Cap and Fury repel from the Chopper. Quarterman's voice comes into the headset... "alright Doctor, I'm taking you and Spidey just north a quarter click... there's a lake - Park Lake with a field I've had HSD prep for our landfall. It shouldn't be more than a minute or two hike into the park to rendeavour with Cap and Nick. any problems Doc?" And the S.H.E.I.L.D. officer pulls the Blackhawk up and over the outcrop of Park trees to the LZ.
 

No sooner had Iron Man touched down -
TONY - scout ahead from cloud cover, I want a Sit-Rep on Mid-town, specifically Central Park, A.S.A.P.
- than he was taking off again, thrusting toward Central Park.

Tony wonders briefly what was causing Spider-Man's distress, but figures it can wait until Fury isn't on edge. In the meantime, he calls up previous sensor data on an O2 disturbance and initiates an active scan at its former location. "An O2 disturbance of that size in Central Park would show up as a measurable drop in air pressure... but surely this weather is Storm or Thor just mucking about. If I'm wrong..." Int check: 20 "... then somebody just flushed our city's midnight toilet."

As Iron Man flew toward Central Park, he was busily scanning the local wind conditions and cloud activity. If air pressure kept dropping in the park, then the air rushing in to take its place might spiral, like water running down a drain. Even at this distance, he should be able to detect something...
Local Spot (+Super-Senses) check: (Took 10) = 22
Remote (ESP: Central Park) Spot check: (Took 10) = 18


If the clouds are spiraling around Central Park...
Addressing his communication systems, Tony says, "Priority message to Nick Fury: Weather conditions suggest a vortex in Mid-town, the eye in Central Park. If this worsens, we can expect localized tornado activity."

If the O2 drop was a unique event and no spiraling is taking place...
Addressing his communication systems, Tony says, "Message to Nick Fury: Sensors picked up a large atmospheric disturbance. Air pressure dropped as if something ~800,000 sq.ft. simply ceased to exist. Either Nightcrawler took an oversized dose of Pym particles, or we have a problem."

NAMOR
Riding through the currents of Thor's wind buffet the Submariner dives toward Central Park. Thor holds on the wind attempting to control the rain as it drenches the area, to no avail... Coming in from the North Namor can see movement to the Eastern and Western Gateways of the Structure. He knows one to be the FF, Sue is likely amoung them, likely the Eastern side - but before the thought of her lovely skin takes him he can't help but wonder of the Western Arch...

NAMOR
Something is not quite right about this... structure most alien in nature. It bears further investigation.

Namor flies around the circular structure, looking for any signs of life from within. Passing the eastern side, the Prince of Atlantis spots the Fantastic Four, and gives them a cursory examination, focusing on one member in particular.

Continuing on, Namor flies toward the southern side and spots Daredevil entering the strange structure, wondering at the brashness of the Man Without Fear.

NAMOR (into communicator)
Ultimates, I have spotted Daredevil entering the structure's southern portal. Continuing on.

Taking a wider tack, Namor zips around to the western side, and sees a group completely new to him. He pauses in mid-air, and thinks for a moment.

NAMOR (into communicator)
Beware - potential enemies near the western side of the structure.

Namor keeps his distance from this group, awaiting word from his team-mates.
 

IRONMAN sky high surveillance report

BTW - NICE roleplay/writing Spoils!!

"Copy that IM,
Thor's a no-go on culling this storm, he's not in control, lock that intel down... I want all media links cut in the area that could get shots of Goldielocks... The Republicans would have a field-day with the "thunder god" not living up to the hype...

That's secondary - what I need now is you to get "PLATO" to link with the National Weather Service, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Environmental Satellite, Data... They have the OrbView MSG1 on Geostationary with the Triskelion... and should be able to download this evening's weather satellite images for hyper-analysis.
Feed the intel to Banner & Pym's clearance-decks and make the big brains work for their dollar. Word has it Dr. Richards is on-scene at EastGate, cross-brief Richards with a 10 second delay for clearance edit.
Tony I want you personally pulling the Polar orbiting weather satellite images for any other disturbances worldwide.
Go on a spiral pattern, "Stonehenge-NPC" is ground zero and sweep the through Washington DC, top priority then move on to world view. Relaydata at your descretion...
Once you get a digital map of the structure I want it online for the team and your ass on the ground for Cap's backup...



As Tony begins to work, no truer could his fears become...

In addition to the O2 drop scanned previously it seemed to have coincided and perhaps excelled the funnel singularity previously unknown!!

It was true to the untrained eye the O2 drop seemed as a unique event and no spiraling is taking place, but as data streams in and analysis is formed by the Ultimates IronMan's data clearly shows a distress in weather conditions suggesting a vortex in Mid-town, the eye in Central Park, "Stonehenge-NYC".
As IronMan feared if this worsens at the rate it's forming New England can expect localized tornado activity. Multiple funnel formations are estimated in t-minus 23 minutes at current rate of storm activity!!
 

Wolverine (Logan) - unhurt [X-men]

"Yeah, that's him as near as I can tell - the smell is right," Wolverine replied after a moment or two more. "Too bad Jeannie ain't here ta check the brain part - 'cause I think that Chuck but he ain't acting right."

"But he went in there, wherever that is, and we gotta get 'em out," Wolverine added.

"Oh, and . . . we're not alone here, energy weapon or power of some kind, good enough to fry the air," Wolverine finished.
 

X-MEN extinction!!

Just as Logan confirms their mentor's appearance a great SURGE of energy whips out with a sunburst-like spiral...
Brrzztttzzzz!!!
white crackling energy with the tainted smell of ozone!!
[Crackling balls of "Kirby-esque" black energy globes appear across the panel as the X-men are engulfed in white!]
and then...
feeling their atoms seperate one by one collapsing on themselves over and over again!!
kwwuuuussshhhhhhhh

The X-MEN
are
NO MORE!!!




[NOTE - Like Daredevil, the X-men are "on hold" status until the others follow! You should be able to post again in 1-2 days time, watch for it!]

Hawkeye- the Ultimates- overlooking Central Park, NY, NY

"Holy Crap!" Hawkeye's voice activates the radio, "Hawkeye to team, I've got one, two, a whole s---load of light flashes on the far side of the playpen from my perch, anybody got a visual on this?"
