Fritz strolled out of the lounge area he'd been kept in for the longest time and began wondering down the long convoluted halls of Stark Tower, attempting to find some kind of lab among the many many doors that littered the building. Fritz was sure that someone like Cassie Stark of all people would have labs galore littered about her family's billion dollar fortress, and while he got some weird stares and looks from a few people as he went (especially the janitor after he accidentally stumbled into the janitor's closet and then stepped out with a shrug once he realized it wasn't the lab) he mostly went through the building unbothered.

Once he FINALLY figured out where the lab was and FINALLY figured out a way in, he breathed a sigh of relief, "JESUS CHRIST FINALLY! Now I can relax and get some damn work done!" With a sigh Fritz reached for his mask, looking to get some work done without dying in a puddle of his own sweat in the lab. It was then of course that he remembered that the Starks had some kind of fancy schmancy AI that worked for them who was no doubt watching him. With an annoyed sigh Fritz began to pat down the puches at his belt waist, "Can't even get any privacy in the god damn lab, bet they got cameras in the toilets in this place too...oh well, what's the point of billions of dollars if not to waste it all on paranoia...ah, there it is!" Fritz fished out his phone from one of his pouches, it was an old device with multiple cracks all amongst the surface, which Fritz quickly punched in the PIN too and pulled up a notes app and a drawing app he used to sketch out blueprints. Praying that 32% was going to be enough to get some tinkering done, Fritz unclassped his guantlets and set them down before pulling off his gloves and blasting some royalty free music that came free on his phone when he was given it, "Alright it's not exactly Now Not Yet but it'll do, let's see what this lab has to offer huh!" With that, Fritz cracked his sore knuckles and got ready to work....

"Yeah, it worked because believe It or not, you weren't fully bluffing, " Lola muttered, the blood that had been circling her hand gone, her eyes back to normal. It also worked because those guys must have been more exhausted than they looked. For the moment, as she let the other girls speak, Lola kept her back turned to them. What to do? What to do? They couldn't stay here, cops would be coming up soon and the moment they spotted the group, the girls would all be pinned for the destruction. Nobody really believed Lola anyway if she did get caught, and tried to tell the truth, someone would have to come and vouch for her. Usually via email from one of the big shots. Anyway, after a few moments, she turned around. "You all have two choices. Come with me, I can get you somewhere safe for a bit, or stay here and possibly get arrested." Which left Lola with a few options, but if these girls were smart, it really only left her with two. Avengers Tower, of back home?

"First and foremost, we should have a few minutes for an explanation, it would be really great if we could get one," She paused glancing at the girl who had been ready to fight with her, before looking back to the others. Raising a now uninjured hand the cut on her palm missing, debating on if she should remove it or not. For now, she left it alone, "I'm Maleficar, not exactly a big name I guess, but I wasn't lying when I said I can take you somewhere safe. Just a matter of getting there." With that, Lola looked to the girl the other two seemed to want to save. "They mentioned rings. What's that about? Why were you their target? How bad will it be if they finish collecting their jewelry?" She wanted immediate answers, clear ones if she could provide them, it might even help Lola decide on where to take them.

Connor watched down the hall in the seconds after his assault on the guard, watching as one by one the others were taken out without anything going wrong. Mentally he wiped his brow and released the wound up tension he'd been straining with the moment the guard had spotted something out of place. "Good job handling that on short notice." Rather than give an excuse as to what happened with the lack of any sort of countdown he simply gave a small shrug opting not to throw Rigel under the bus. Finn made it clear he was getting fatigued and requested to take the rear guard with Perry since Isaiah had grouped up with them ahead of schedule. However before he could give the go ahead Cassie suggested a complete rework by swapping Isaiah and Perry's positions. Mostly what puzzled him was that she didn't give a reasoning and forced the blonde to come to his own conclusions.

Connor saw pro's and con's to both scenarios if he was honest. Isaiah was large and more easily seen yet he could hide easily due to his abilities, Perry was much more difficult to spot but he also had less experience in this kind of situation. "Let's deal with these guys before we do anything." He suggested with a small smile, then opted to grab the closes unconscious guard by putting his arms under the other mans arms and dragging him to the nearby door. Which, considering the hologram Cassie had shown moments before they'd gone into action, it was more or less a boiler room. After the group had hidden the guards from sight and zip-tied their hands and feet Connor regarded the others, "I'll take the rear while Isaiah and Perry take point. Finn, you are our ticket out of here and we can't risk getting caught. So you're going to play it safe with Rigel and Cassie. Everyone agree with that?" He asked curiously, giving them the chance to voice concerns before they got moving again. Time was of the essence.​

Looking over at K.D. as she asked about her guitar the girl couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. She stared at the instrument for a few moments before beginning to blush. She wasn't entirely sure she could keep herself from having an unexpected outburst. While out in a open room or out in the open she wasn't worried about it, but they were in a jet... an enclosed machine surrounded by fuel.. and fire. Swallowing hard she nodded before picking the guitar up. Setting it in her lap she looked over at K.D. unsure of where she was going with this. Thinking that she just wanted to hear her play she began to lightly strum the guitar, the noise soft yet contained locally for them to hear.

Glancing over she soon realized that K.D. wasn't asking her to play, but rather to show her something. She still didn't know where K.D. was going with it but decided to hand the guitar over. Opening her mouth she made an "O" face before placing it back into her lap. Taking out a pen she began to write on her skin "What did you want to do?" Before flipping her hand over and doing the same on her palm "Im.. not confident in my abilities in such an enclosed space. Maybe we should try when we get out? But... okay lets give it a shot." she scribbled the last bit going up her thumb.

Isaiah remained silent in the wake of Cassie's suggestion. It wasn't his place to decide; instead he glanced at Connor with a silent query. His friend instead suggested they focus on moving the subdued guards out of sight -- a reasonable course of action. Even before his augmentations, moving the small-framed Somalis before zip-tieing them wouldn't have been much of an issue for the large man. With his enhanced strength and the help of the others, it was hardly a chore at all.

Once that task was complete, Isaiah listened closely as Connor laid out the revised plan for moving forward. As he spoke, Izzy deftly unloaded and field-stripped the AK rifle that he had "relieved" one of the guards of, tossing the magazine and other components onto the floor. Better safe than sorry when it came to the amount of guns they'd be dealing with if they had to beat a hasty retreat: a possibility that was seeming more and more likely by the minute. "Works for me," Isaiah remarked with a nod, moving to take his position at the front of their motley group.

An Unwelcome Wakeup Call

"JESUS CHRIST FINALLY! Now I can relax and get some damn work done!"

Ty was unceremoniously awoken by what sounded like a prepubescent squirrel yelling at the top of its lungs. It startled him so much that he yelped and fell off the futon, landing face first on the floor.

Needless to say, he was not amused.

He stood up, grumbling, whirling to give a piece of his mind to whatever baby chihuahua was shouting while he was trying to sleep. He was met by a walking quilt.

"Can't even get any privacy in the god damn lab, bet they got cameras in the toilets in this place too...oh well, what's the point of billions of dollars if not to waste it all on paranoia...ah, there it is!"

Ty lit his hands aflame and growled a little. "Who the fuck are you, what are you doing here, and what makes you think you have the fucking right to disturb my beautysleep?!?" He said. Normally gentle, quiet Ty was a totally different person before he had his coffee.

He currently didn't care that his long hair was an absolute mess, or that he was wearing his "That Nap isn't going to take itself" shirt.

This guy was in Cassie's lab without permission, screaming like a banshee, and dressed like he had absolutely never put any thought into his costume.

Grumpy Ty was a judgy, very very judgy Ty.

Pat watched as she took her helmet off, he couldn't see her face, but something about her seemed familiar. He found his sight drifting lower, say what you want about him being a murder machine or nightmare fuel, but he was still a dude for christ's sake. Wow, just wow. Slaughter silently said in their shared space of his head. Pat just rolled his eyes and summoned his suit into being, omitting the head portion.

Slaughter moved something that they kept inside the suit, technically the symbiote acted as a pocket for things, his phone and some wireless ear buds came out he popped them in and went to his music player, one of the advantages to pirating music was that he didn't need wifi to play it. Megadeth. Slaughter said, the symbiote had picked up Pat's taste in music, whether he had liked hearing it or when Pat played it on his guitar, but he wouldn't argue, he queued up Holy wars... the punishment due and played it. The breakneck riffing of the rythm and bass guitar combined with aggressive drumming and lead guitar made Rust in Peace on of Pat's favorite albums to listen too and play. He started matching the fretting with his left hand while he listened, becoming absorbed into the music.

He popped the earbud out of his left ear and looked back up towards the Mystery girl. "So uh, when exactly do I get to leave? Sittin around and waiting isn't exactly my style." He didn't doubt that she could hear the music blasting out of the earbud, but who cared, not like it was gonna cause a problem or anything, plus he was interested to see what her face looked like, something about her again, was extremely familiar.

Fritz jumped when he heard the yelling of someone coming from behind him, picking up his gauntlet and fumbling to put it back on before staring daggers at the deranged homeless looking mother fucker who'd somehow ended up in the lab. He lifted up a guantleted fist and kept it leveled at the man in front of him, "Cool question, let me awnser it by asking a series of less dumb questions. First, who are YOU, why are you screaming at me, that's pretty fucking rude, and lastly why are you asleep in the MIDDLE OF A FUCKING LAB IN STARK TOWER?!"

Fritz mashed his teeth together, moving his other hand to turn off the admitedly loud and annoying sounding royalty free music he'd had blasting as his heart beat quickly, feeling suddenly VERY glad he'd realized to keep his mask on, "and for your info by the way, I'm an esteemed collegue of Cassie Stark and the Avengers who was given permission by the acting head of the Avengers to come to this lab...or at least she didn't say anything when I left to come here, which is BASICALLY the same thing so...either way, I'm sure I have way more authority to be here than you do you god damn Jason Momoa without a beard looking wanna be!" Fritz sat there nervously awaiting the other man's response, realizing that not only was the Jason Momoa comment not the most accurate, but that it was also more of a compliment than it was an insult...

Now that there was a solid plan Finn maneuvered himself into the middle of the group with a quick nod. Perry shot off a quick text to someone and Finn held back a small laugh. This was turning out to simultaneously be the most laid back and nerve-wracking mission in a long time. Sending texts, easy targets, things going to plan. Nice. Let's keep it that way shall we? Casually and gently he bumped shoulders with Cassie. "Looks like I'm the middle of the pack bodyguard now. I would say this is a perfect haunted house lineup. Why? Haven't thought of why yet. This just seems logical." People, especially superheroes, like to use humour in tough situations. Why not try it out rather than being a stick in the mud for once? Not really that funny though. Also, not the time for this. "Yeah. Not the time Finn." Humour during missions wasn't his thing. He rolled his shoulders to try and ease some of the tension in his muscles. You know that's what happens when you jump a lot. A massage is in order after this is all done.

Just like that the formation was formed and the group started their trek forward. "Keep us in the loop about any new people showing up." He quietly whispered to Cassie. A redundant message. She was always on top of things. The group marched forward, turning around the necessary corners and peering down branches for signs of life. Things were looking well so far. Keep that thought to yourself. That's how things go wrong. Lucy popped into his head and he wondered how she was fairing out at the embassy.

The stranger looks to the other girls "Alright...Imma explain everything, but first...I wanna say thanks for the assist. Really. And second, I wanna say....FUCK. YOU. ALL! Like what the hell were any of you guys thinking?! "Oh we're on the Avengers." Man, you really thought they'd buy that?! You guys didn't even try to sound convincing about it! It was just our luck that the possibility of other heroes showing up got to them, else they would've wasted us! And I wasn't looking to get wasted!....But....I did have somrthing they were after." The stranger removes something from her finger revealing some sort of glistening, white ring with trimmed in gold with a kanji symbol on it. "I don't know what it is other than it gives me power, but it's also that if they're willing to kill for it then it must be bigger than just this one ring, as you all clearly heard, there are more of them. Where? I don't know." The stranger explains

Lola cocked an eyebrow as the girl began explaining, rather rudely to be honest. She sighed, raising a hand slightly to pinch the bridge of her nose. "Okay, so, you have a magic ring, that gives you powers and there are more. You don't know where the rest of them are, but it would probably be pretty bad if they all got together. Oh geez, the wonder twins will just fucking love this." She paused stepping closer to the stranger, maintaining eye contact with her. "You're also pretty rude aren't you? I know we, " Her thumb moved between herself and the Gambit girl, "Aren't exactly famous, but the Avengers are a bit bigger than the magic girl and America's kids. Your pal there was actually kinda spot on, I'm a superhero." Her hands went up, wiggling around sarcastically to make her point, her voice going a little weird when she said "superhero". Lola normally didn't do this, but she wasn't a fan of being cussed at, or her help not being truly appreciated. "So, you must have this all under control, right? We can just leave and y'all will get arrested or the circus will come back, and you obviously have such superior skills and smarts, I'm sure nobody will try to arrest you." Beneath her mask, she gave a little smile, the one you give a Karen asking for the manager. "Or, you could not look a gift horse in the mouth, and ask me about what the options are for a safe place."

The stranger began explaining what was going on, and started by insulting her and the masked girl?! Rachel had to do a double take. Really? Insult the people who just saved your life? Not a smart move at all in Rachel's opinion.

Lola was clearly just as riled as Rachel by this and instantly sniped back. Her sarcasm was impressive and Rachel agrred with everything she said. She was surprised that the bluff had only turned half fake, the other girl was actually an Avenger. She stared at the kanji on the ring, trying to place it using her knowledge of Japanese.

"You do realise dat what you're describin' to us is basically de plot of Lord of De Rings?" Rachel said raising one eyebrow. "But since I clearly know nothin' about what is goin' on here, so de two of us" she gestured at Lola. "will just leave you be, since you clearly have everythin' under control and don' need any help. Espescially considerin' that one of you looks like she is about to pass out" she gestured at Morgan. "In your position I'd take her up on de offer, while she's still willing' "

Robin sighed and turned around, pocketing her phone and completely forgetting that she didn't have her helmet on. She watched as Pat played the fretting for a song on an nonexistant guitar and was immediately intrigued. "Hey, what do you play? Guitar or bass?" She queried, cocking her head. "It looks like you really know how to shred."
She smiled, before realizing her helmet was under her arm.
"Oh. Oh fuck. Oh. Oh...." she put her head in her hands as the helmet dropped to the floor with a Clang! Right on her foot.
"FUCK, OW!" She yelled, hopping on one foot while clutching the other.

Ty bristled, then the flames on his hands disappeared. He ran a hand through his hair, chuckling. "Jason Momoa, huh?" He blushed and plopped back down on the Futon. "I guess he and I have a bit of a resemblance, now that you think about it."
Ty looked him up and down and then looked at his feet. "Look, Man, I'm sorry, okay?" He said. "I really had no right to be hostile like that... you just surprised me, and I reacted out of instinct and grumpiness." He looked at Fritz and shook his head. "I fell asleep in here because I guess I sleepwalk. Plus the futon is surprisingly comfortable." He gave Fritz a smile and stood back up. "Uh.... I still don't know who you are. I know the 'esteemed colleague' thing was a lie, I've been living with the Starks for basically my whole life." He put his hands on his hips. "So, what's your name, and what're you really doing here?" He was much calmer, now. He really hated that his first reaction was to yell at the dude.

Cassie was busy checking the screens when Finn came back with her and gently bumped her shoulder.

"Looks like I'm the middle of the pack bodyguard now. I would say this is a perfect haunted house lineup. Why? Haven't thought of why yet. This just seems logical."

"..... Yeah, not the time, Finn."

Cassie giggled, putting her hand over her mouth to keep quiet. "No, no..." she smiled at him. "It was funny....." And pretty damn cute, too.....

"Keep us in the loop about any new people showing up."

"Oh, believe me," Cassie muttered as the group started forward again. "If anything starts happening, then you'll be the first to know." She glanced up at Finn. "Probably because I'll freak out."

Terri let out a tired sigh, and a groan, holding her right hand on her head. Swiftly, her hand went back down, and she flashed her usual smile, slowly moving with Morgan between the two parties. "Hey, hey. It's not the time for petty arguments, please." Terri gestures with her head at the destruction around. "I do not think the 'Vengers will get good publicity around here if people start yelling at eachother." Looking at the stranger, she nods and keeps up a rather cheerful expression. "I do not ask you to like me, or anyone else. We just want to protect you, well, now. So, please, consider their offer of help."

She turns to the other two, bowing along with Morgan around her shoulder. "Again, thanks you two. You were of help to us." Terri looked for a moment at Morgan, and someone could detect a sort-of sadness in her eyes, but she quickly blinked it away, her eyes fixing on Rachel. "I like your accent. But, can you refrain from cussing her please? And no worries about Morgan here..." She sighs heavily, closing her eyes. "I might take her someplace where I know she will be taken care of, so you will not deal with this again." Adjusting her arm around Morgan, her eyes switched to Lola. 'Those eyes... they seem familiar somehow' was a sentence that rang in her mind, but she dismissed it. "If Morgan cannot anymore, I would like to accompany you all to safety. I will not rest easy not knowing what happened to her." She gestures towards the stranger.

Location: streets of new york, thinking
Side shaved head girl took on the peacemaker role. She was grateful for the assistance, unlike the ring girl. The exhausted girl was Morgan, and clearly meant something to side-shave girl. Rachel was no romance expert, but spend enough time playing cards with a bunch of cheaters, you pick up a subconscious knowledge of body language. Not to mention that she was bisexual.

She was surprised by shaved-head girl commenting on her accent, most just ignored it, or instantly recognised it for what it was. Few people possesed such a distinctive Cajun twang. Hell, some people had just called her father by Cajun, not even bothering with his real name. But now wasn't the time for thinking about the past. It had happened and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Runing a hand through her hair she nodded. "Tanks, it runs in de fam'ly" along with a lot of other things. She thought to herself. "I'm Rachel by de way, but most call me Ray, you want help carryin' her?" she gestured at the barely conscious Morgan. Ray wasnt just offering help out of the goodness of her heart, two people would be much more efficient for carrying the girl, and it would be best to get out of there ASAP, before the Avengers or the cops showed up.

She then turned to Lola, her glowing red eyes fixing on the shorter girl. "So where do you suggest for a safe place to lie low?"

Pat heard her ask about guitar, and he perked up immediately "Six string electric, naturally. And hell yeah, I'm basically Dimebag and Mustaines child." before he had time to continue talking she turned around with her helmet off, he squinted because she was EXTREMELY familiar. It took him about three seconds until it clicked inside his head and his eyes widened. "No fucking way..." he said in disbelief, it was the girl from the park.

He smiled to himself as he saw her drop the helmet and laughed when she started cursing and hopping on one foot. "Guess this is a pretty roundabout way of meeting up again." he said as the earbuds were reabsorbed into the suit and he shook his head. "Fuck me..." he said under his breath as stood up and stretched. "So when exactly am I able to get out of here, i feel like I'm gonna go crazy." Pat started pacing as he spoke, nervous energy needed to be expended some way.

Fritz calmed himself down a bit, taking his fingers off his guantlet triggers and slowly attempting to allow himself to lean on the counter, crossing his arms in a few diffrent posistions before realizing that any way he crossed them made him uncomfortable, before allowing them to come resting at his side, "Nothing I said was really a lie...well okay, besides the 'esteemed colleague thing that was a bold faced lie, good on you for catching it, you're not as slow as you look."

Fritz sighed and realized he was more than likely going to be kicked out the lab once he revealed he was an absolute nobody with no powers and no special premissisions...

Unless he lied again.

"As for who I am, I'm afraid if I told you that information I'd have to kill you, you'd need level 5 clerance from the goverment to know....and also the rank of captian...and be good friends with Steve Rogers himself- y'know what fuck it, I'm just some loser who fucked up some Avenger's OP the other day, the chick who has the face of a snooty private kid let me hide out here while the cameras clear." Choosing to go with the truth instead of dealing with the mistrust and conflict of lying again for once, Fritz pinched the bridge of his nose as he attempted to think of something the guy in front of him could call him, "and as for my name...I uh...it's...I-I don't have one yet. Well I mean, I HAVE a name, just if I told you my real name it'd kinda defeat the whole purpose of...y'know..." Fritz tapped his mask, "but in terms of one of those fancy names like 'Iron-Man, Spider-Man, Man-Man' or whatever the fuck, I don't got one yet."

PERRY PARKER

"I'll take the rear while Isaiah and Perry take point. Finn, you are our ticket out of here and we can't risk getting caught. So you're going to play it safe with Rigel and Cassie. Everyone agree with that?"

"Sounds like a plan," Perry nodded eagerly, his mood lifted exponentially from his recent text exchange. By this point he was much less anxious compared to just a few minutes ago. Their efficiency in incapacitating the hallway guards and overall party morale gave him the assumption that their remaining objectives would be cleared with just as much ease.

Taking a few steps forward, he then began to focus is eyes on the hallway ahead of them. "So we're sure it's just the guards right? No high-tech androids springing from walls today?" Perry questioned the three of them, though it was mostly directed towards Cassie. There seemed to be a rather low amount of security within the facility, which was surprising given the supposed importance of whatever they may be hiding. Though even if there were any sort of traps or technology-based opponents, Perry trusted Cassie to eliminate them before they could pose an issue.

The new formation was quickly accepted and Connor prepared to wait for the group to start moving ahead but before they did and before Rigel could make the middle group disappear he patted Cassie's shoulder gently and handed her a keycard. "Isaiah said we'd need this for the door up ahead, those guys only had one between them." The blonde gave her a wink before turning around. Connor had no doubt she could get them through without the keycard but this was a simple answer to the problem. Before the group could pull too far away he'd heard Perry's comment about AI and briefly he wondered if the teen knew a whole lot about other countries current financial and technological levels. Somalia on it's own wouldn't likely be able to handle such a strain on it's resources, which is why they had actual people guarding the place. The blonde however kept quiet as the conversation soon vanished from earshot anyhow. Connor stood in the hallway until he was a comfortable in the distance between them and started moving. All the while he kept his eyes and ears on high alert. If all went to plan they'd get through the keycard gate, make their way down to the pod without alarming any patrols, and get out before anyone knew a thing.​

The team was at this point lighthearted yet focused. Just because things were going well did not mean it would all go well. They successfully got through another two sets of doors using the key card that Connor had taken, leading them deeper and deeper into the facility. The facility itself seemed almost like it was simultaneously made to be easy yet hard to navigate. The corridors themselves all looked almost identical, and anyone that was hurrying could likely easily get lost. However, running along the walls was a strip of colour that was about as wide as a hand. Near the outer hallways, the band was a light blue but here it was almost black. It was likely also used as a form of organization amongst the staff as well. Some staff would be cleared for lighter areas while the senior staff would be cleared for the darker areas.

The heroes approached what should have been the last door before the final set of hallways when the perfectness of the situation shattered. The key card was tapped against the scanner but this time there was a loud beep and a red light. Finn tensed. There was no way that nobody had heard that. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, came the loud and obnoxious rings of an alarm. While not the most technologically advanced location, they had splurged a little to put an identifier in the key cards. The system, and card owner, would know that this card was not coded to open doors to the black section. Thus implying that it was not the owner of the card that was wielding it. There was really no visible way the party would have noticed though. There was a heavy clunk that signified the door was re-inforcing itself, and in the distance, the heavy sound of footfalls. Lots of them. Finn crouched into a fighting stance and readied himself for what was about to hit.
