Doom Castle, Latveria

Within the inner recesses of the castle, sat a man in dark green garb. He looked through a portal of some kind, created by his magic. He watched for the materials he sought. It was only a week ago that the prints had come through time for him. Prints for a machine that would bring about a new era to Earth. An era ruled by Doom. And so he had quickly begun his search for the materials necessary. Gathering them all would take time though. Time he couldn't waste. So he had sent an invitation to those who shared similar aspirations. They would be coming soon and his plan would play into motion.

Doom ended his portal and stood. His guests were here. It was time for the world to know Doom!

SHIELD Hellicarrier
Nick Fury paced about, agitated. It was not so long ago that the Avengers united to face Loki. Now yet another threat to the globe had risen. Yet the Avengers had separated. They needed to be reunited and not all of them could be found. Captain Rogers was biking across America. An agent had been sent pick him up. Thor wasn't contactable. Hopefully, he would eventually realize Earth needed help. As for Stark and Banner, another agent had been sent for them. Last Fury heard, Banner was staying with Stark and doing research. An agent had been sent for a newer hero, Echo. Her talents would be needed. Hopefully, the Avengers could be brought together again.

New York City, USA

Storm sat outside of Starbucks, sipping some green tea. It was a sunny day, even though the weather called for 100% chance of rain... Storm had just quit being headmaster Xavier's School for the Gifted after one student had passed the exam to become an X-Men. They had then taken her place, rendering her free to go where she wanted. She had decided then to retire (somewhat) in New York.

Storm looked around at the passing crowd. Look at all of them. Trying to get to places. Oh I remember when I was in a rush.. She finished her tea, and then left for her apartment.

When she reached her apartment, she got dressed for her weekly shape-up. The apartment building provided a gym and a pool for work-outs, and Storm always took full advantage of it. This week, she decided to go swimming.

3 HOURS LATER

Storm was sitting back in her apartment in a towel, flipping through channels. She had been kicked out of the pool for 'accidentally' creating a tornado in the water and sucking people down in it. Finally, after drying off, she got changed into some dry clothes and went for a jog in Central Park, making it start to rain along the way.

[JuNii]

Maya Lopez entered the starbucks. she ignored the stares of the male customers and the occasional female ones. she signed to the clerk her order and moved away from the counter. she kept her eyes open, it was tough, living in New York alone... even harder when one is handicapped. her bank account, well padded with her time living with Wilson Fisk, was a nest egg she didn't want to touch. He had lied to her, used her for his own goals... But he was there when her father was killed. he did treat her like his daughter.

the Clerk waived to her, Signaling that her order was ready. Maya stuffed a Dollar into the tip cup and left with her drink.

First, to deposit her paycheck... then, grocery shopping.

+++

She put the deposit reciept into her bag when she noticed the four men entering the bank... their body language practically screamed their intent. She sighed and edged herself towards the restrooms. if she could make it there before...

"EVERYONE ON THE GROUND, THIS IS A ROBBERY!" one of the men shouted as they pulled out their guns. Maya didn't hear the shout... she didn't hear anything, but the expressions of those around her told her everything she needed to know. She dove through the restroom door while the 'robbers' were still rounding up the customers and staff.

she quickly looked around for options... and spotted only one.

One of the robbers entered the restrooms to make sure they were empty. not noticing that the grate in the Ventilation shaft was ajar.

New York City
As Orro jogged through Central Park, she would find herself being slowly surrounded by SUV's. They drove through the park not bothering to observe many rules of the road. They formed a circle around the mutant and agents began to emerge from the vehicles. One with bright blonde hair approached Storm. He wore dark shades, masking his eyes.

"Hello. I'm Agent Clay Quartermain from SHIELD. We'd like to talk you about the Avenger Initiative. Miss Monroe isn't it?"

[JuNii]

From her vantage point, Echo watched the robbers move through the lobby area. she saw two of them head towards the back safe with the manager... leaving two to 'guard' the hostages.

she concentrated on their movements... they wern't trained... and the way they held their guns suggested that all their firearm experience is through Hollywood.

she watched the two men disappear into the back and she silently counted to 50. that should be enough time for them to get into the vault and be occupied thus slowing their reaction time.

she also waited for one of the gunmen to move right under her...

she shoved the grate down as fast as she could. the vent grating hit the gunman squarely, knocking him cold. she flipped out of the vent and using the edge of the opening, she somersaulted and did a perfect drop kick on thug #2, he fired, and fortunately, since he was aiming where she was, the bullets impacted the ceiling.

Sliding the two batons from their holding place at the small of her back, she ran and lept up onto the counter top and waited.

the two remaining thugs came running out and she threw her baton at the door frame that they passed through. the baton ricocheted off the wooden framework and neatly clocked both thugs under the chin.

with a flick of her wrist, she sent her second club into the head of thug #1 as he recovered from the grate landing on him. he slumped back down as she caught the baton as it bounced back to her.

her sessions with the Daredevil paid off. she leapt down and quietly retrieved her baton from the two thugs as the police came through the door.

She went into the restroom and retrieved her coat and proceeded to leave. "Just a minute you!..." a voice spoke behind her. she continued to walk until her path was barred by another police officer. he signaled that she couldn't leave just yet. she turned to face the officer coming up behind her.

"We got alot of questions to ask you..." the officer started.

"and they will wait till a later time..." a female voice spoke from the bank entrance. Special Agent Sharon Carter approached the two officers. "SHIELD needs to talk to her... NOW." She held her ID for them to inspect.

"Sorry miss... SHIELD has no Jurisdiction here..." his voice trailed off as Agent Carter stared the man down.

"According to all eye-witness reports, she took down 4 armed gunmen while protecting innocent American lives, something you can watch on your security tapes. SHIELD needs her for a mission that is critical of the survival of not only this nation, but possibly the world. and you are worried about Jusridiction?"

The officer hemmed and hawed. his partner simply turned to Maya and asked. "Are you injured?" Maya shook her head he turned back to agent Carter. "She's all yours." he pulled his partner away as Maya followed the SHIELD Agent.

Agent Carter lead her to the VTOL in the parking lot and indicated that she boards. "... imperative that we take you there." was the last bit she caught as Agent Carter turned towards her.

"Sorry, what?" Maya asked as she entered the cargo area of the heavy fighter.

"You couldn't hear me?" she said as she got into the pilot seat.

"Sorry no. I'm Deaf, I read lips..." she held on as the craft lifted up and proceeded towards it's unknown destination.

Sharon blinked. and turned to face her before putting on her breathing mask. "I said, Nick Fury has orders that you be brought to the Helicarrier for a... mission of sorts, so that's why I was rather brusque with those police officers. It's imperative that we take you there..." she smiled as Maya nodded. "Buckle up!" she said as she covered the lower part of her face with the breathing gear.

Maya held on to the frame as they sped along. carefully watching the pilot and Agent carter as they flew the jet.

"Hello. I'm Agent Clay Quartermain from SHIELD. We'd like to talk you about the Avenger Initiative. Miss Monroe isn't it?"

Storm stopped and said, "Well, no one has called me that name in a while. Keep talking."

The rain started to come down harder.

[Jedi8246]

New York City
Agent Quartermain looked up as the rain started to drizzle.

"Miss Monroe, now is nor the time or place to discuss these things. Please come with us and we shall tell you what you need to know."

With that, he turned around to back to the SUV's.

The Air Above the Atlantic
Agent Carter and the rest of the SHIELD agents flew across the ocean with Echo in tow. As they passed through New York, noticeable amounts of rain were coming down. Agent Carter smiled at the thought of Agent Quartermain's encounter with the ex X-Men. Eventually they arrived at the Helicarrier. Landing, Agent Carter led Echo to a conference room. Standing in it was Nick Fury, as well as Agent Romanov and Agent Barton, aka Black Widow and Hawkeye.

"Maya Lopez. Welcome. I'm Nick Fury, director of SHIELD. I'd like to talk you about the Avengers Initiative. If you will make yourself comfortable, all those attending should arrive soon enough."

[JuNii]

Maya nodded a greeting to Col Fury. she moved towards the side wall where she would have a clear view of everyone's face. well, that and she felt rather uncomfortable with the Black Widow. the two of them both had a history with Matt Murdoc... aka, Daredevil. She was sent to kill him... and the WIdow dated him. not a good mixture for happy thoughts. Still... she did admire the Widow's skill.

She leaned against the wall and waited for these... others. she nervously flipped her fighting batons in the air.

New York City
Agent Quartermain looked up as the rain started to drizzle.

"Miss Monroe, now is nor the time or place to discuss these things. Please come with us and we shall tell you what you need to know."

With that, he turned around to back to the SUV's.

Storm nodded and followed Agent Quartermain, and got into the car.

The outside weather then turned extremely sunny and hot outside, just as it was when she started the jog.

[The Norak Federation]

Baron Zemo walked across the bridge to Dr. Doom's castle with no hesitation. That is not to say he did it without care. Of course his hand was on his sword, his entire body all ready for any trick Dr. Doom had. Von Doom was a snake, and everyone knew it, including himself. No reason to trust Doom Completely yet.

Something about the situation seemed odd. For one thing, The castle looked as if it would match Baron Zemo, but it just didn't seem to suit him. Another, he came with no bodyguards. No person in their sane mind would come alone. But, then again, this was Zemo. Course he came armed, with his sword, but he still looked rather odd.

Why Zemo was here could've been anyone's guess. Course, Doom had contacted him, making an offer few could refuse, but Zemo wasn't the kind of guy to be hired. More like the kind of guy who did the hireing. Course, that was one of the reason's he was here. He had a plan of his own, and Doom was simply a pawn. Check that, more like his rook.

As Zemo came to the doors, he waited, knowing his presance was already known. If Doom's Bots hadn't seen him, the locals would have, and Doom would have found out either way. So, instead of knocking, Zemo waited.

[JuNii]

Echo was getting bored... she stood from her seat and went to the window looking out into the main operation stations of the Helicarrier. The SHIELD officer watching her spoke to her about standing away from the windows... and moved forward when Maya did not respond.

Sharon Carter tapped the escort on the shoulder and informed him of Maya's handicap. the guard gave Maya a pitying look and returned to his station. Sharon watched Maya for a moment, deciding that there was no harm in her watching from this distance, she turned to return to her duties.

in the meantime... Maya absorbed the many and varied operation stations onboard the Bridge of the SHIELD Helicarrier.

[Jedi8246]

New York City
The car drove Storm throughout the city until they reached a skyscraper. The skyscraper was marked as Avengers Tower. Riding up an elevator, the SHIELD agents said nothing. Eventually they reached the top where a helicopter waited. They all boarded the copter which flew out across the city and eventually across the ocean. Some time passed until they reached the Helicarrier. Storm was brought into central meeting chamber. Nick Fury introduced himself in a similar manner to Echo and then they waited.

Doom Castle, Latveria
Baron Zemo was greeted by one of Doom's servants at the door. He beckoned him to enter and led him to the throne room. A metallic tapping could be heard within. It was revealed to be Doom himself, tapping his fingers on his throne.

"Greetings Baron Zemo. Doom is glad to see you accepted his invitation.Please wait until all the guests have arrived."

[Stattr]

Polaris was walking along the street when she got a call from someone. When she heard the name she turned down an alley and talked to him. It was Doom and apparently he needed her and her father. She hissed at the idea of her father coming but Doom had insisted. So without hesitation she called her father up and told him someone would be calling him soon. She hung up and put the hood of her cloak over head and walked to Doom's castle.

As she walked she noticed how irily it looked and shivered. Yes she was bad and good but this place irked her. She saw someone else being let in and stopped a little ways and then continued. She knew that Doom had his bots and people, but the place seemed empty enough which scared her. In her pocket she had a metal piece that she could bend and such into anything and or hit someone on the head with.

As she approached she stopped and didn't bother to knock. She knew people had seen her and bots, but were waiting to let her in. She looked at her watch for her father and since she couldn't see him she just shrugged and waited for them to let her in.

[Doughertania]

Deadpool sighed.
"You know Doc, it's been so long cince I killed some one. I'm starting to get a little bored."
Just wait alittle. You'll get a job soon enough.
"I better. Otherwise, I'm just going to go and fight someone."
Who?
"I don't know. Maybe Wolverine, I think his week is free. Or maybe some zombies. They're the ultimate enemies. I can keep killing them, and they'll keep coming back."
*sigh* Ok.
"See, now YOU"RE bored."
Deadpool stopped talking.

OOC: Just biding my time until the Skull can get some action, ;P btw, Jedi, was it Valhalla or Asgard you had said that the skull would most likely be imprisoned in?

IC:

Asgard
City of the Gods
Seat of Power for the People of Thor
Also Place of Imprisonment for the Red Skull--gone, but not destroyed, as the Result of a Cosmic Cube


How long had it been? Seventy......Eighty years, perhaps even longer. Still, time was everything but frozen entirely here....The imprisonment of the very embodyment of evil....the incarnation of all the darkness in the universe....had begun around the same time as the ending of the second world war; ofcourse, that was on Earth, which was quite the distance from here. Locked in a nearly unbelievable state of slumber-like imprisonment, the Red Skull--alias, Johann Schmidt--had been laying in his frozen state for far too long. Even when his body did not age--rather, it was caught in some hellish state between life and death--and his arms and legs incappable of movement, his mind continued to function...to wander about with it's endless hatred. It's uncontrollable wickedness.

And yet, rather than be unleashed with ever breath of his being, with every flexation of his muscles, the endless evil and macabre thoughts which circulated in his essence remained; caught in the endless entrapment of his imprisonment....to haunt him for all time. Or, so it seemed....Yet, even in this slumber-like state, the Skull's connection with the very essence of the universal darkness, which fluxated and wanned throughout time, had been able to tantalize his thoughts with the fortelling of his eventual release form this captivity...a veritable deliverence from this.....his own, personal Hell. Yet, for now, he lay dormant in his frozen state.....longing to be free again...longing for revenge.......

Some time passed until they reached the Helicarrier. Storm was brought into central meeting chamber. Nick Fury introduced himself in a similar manner to Echo and then they waited.

Echo turned as Nick and an African American woman entered. at Nick's shocked look, Echo smiled. "I saw your reflection in the glass... and I felt your steps on the metal floor." by way of explaining how she new they entered the room behind her. She looked over the woman named Storm. "Hi... Maya Lopez... Echo. nice to meet you... no offense... Mutant?" she extended her hand to the woman by way of greeting.

Echo was in full 'colors' her costume... which consisted of a skintight one piece and a white handprint over the right side of her face. her battle batons were secured at the small of her back.

[Procastitania]

T'Challa, King of Wakanda, in the black costume and panther mask that signified his role as the costumed hero, was boarding his private helicopter from his embassy in New York. He was planning on joining Nick Fury's new team of Avengers. His intel suggested that the powerful villain known as Doctor Doom was gathering a force of supervillains, presumably to take over the world. The Black Panther could not allow Doom to endanger his home.

"Are we ready to travel to the Helicarrier?" asked the Panther anxiously. After a long silence, the pilot replied that they were ready, and the chopper took off. As the chopper passed above the carrier, T'Challa dropped down with his increased agility. On the deck, he allowed a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to escort him to Nick Fury.

[Doughertania]

Deadpool, getting bored teleported to the helicarrier.
"Hey, where is everyone?"
I think this thread is dead.
"Aw man! And I didn't even get to shot anything!"
Just then, a random AIM soldier runs in.
"Thanks, Doc."
Deadpool then ran off, chasing the AIM soldier.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. See you later Deadpool.
See ya, sucker.

[Ranbo]

On the SHIELD Helicarrier, Peter Parker—better known as Spider-man—was in the training room. Up against state-of-the-art SHIELD training drones, he was spending some time knocking them into little bits and pieces. "This is so better than Summer AP classes," He thought to himself.

Having been associated with SHIELD for some time now since he defeated The Lizard, he was in the final stages of being a trainee. He had worked hard for the moment, and he couldn't wait for his 'graduation ceremony'. Swinging from one drone to another, he shouted,
"Ye-haw!"

Flipping the nearest drone off before bashing it to prices, he had a vision in his head of Nick Fury shaking his head disgracefully at that. Shoving it into a mental wastebasket, he smiled to himself.

This was going to be fun.

Maya wandered the helicarrier, bored that the 'others' were taking their sweet time. She peered into the training room and watched Spider-man take on the drones. Minutes later, she had his fighting style integrated into hers as she entered the room.

She drew her batons and in a move that she got from Daredevil, threw two batons into two drones moving to flank the web head. " hope you don't mind me butting in..." she shouted as she used a drone as a launching pad to somersault into the air and catch her ricochetting batons.

She depressed a button and a grappling line shot out as she swung to kick a third drone, slamming it into the wall. To anyone with martial arts training, it appeared that Spider-man and Echo had a history of working together when in truth, this was their first meeting.

[Doughertania]

Deadpool, we're back on!
Deadpool looked around. The AIM soldier he thought he saw was just a figment of his imagination.
"Man! I wanted to shot him."
Deadpool, you're near a training room. You can break things there.
"Yay! Shooty fighting time!"
NOT the other heroes.
"Aw. You never let me have any fun."
Deadpool walked into the training room. Seeing Echo and Spider-Man smashing drones, he joined. He jumped and teleported on top of one drone. He unsheathed his katanas and stabbed the drone. As it fell, he backflipped, kicking the drone at another, sending both to the ground in a twisted pile of metal. He landed, pulled out his pistols, and fired, taking down two more.
"Hey guys!" he said to Echo and Spider-Man. "What brings you here?"

[Ranbo]

Spider-Man groaned. "Can you bozo's see I'm trying to have some quality time to myself? I mean, I hardly get it to begin with, and with this SHIELD thingy looming, I'm more nerverscked than ever. Maybe they should start calling you Echo, Deadpool. Seems you happen to burst onto the scene just after everyone else."

Swinging from one drone to the next, he smashed one after another into the ground. Doing a backflip, he landed onto the top of one and sat on its' back. Wrapping his hands around it's 'head', Spidey rode it like a wild horse around the training zone.

However, he subsequently smashed(painfully) into a wall. "Owch," He groaned, seeing stars, "Someone catch the number of that bus?"

[Doughertania]

Deadpool shook his head.
"Poor, poor web head. He seems to be hurt."
Deadpool walked over to Spider-Man.
"No, I don't know it's number. But my lucky numbers are 3, 7, 15, 23, and 38."
Deadpool looked around.
"Oh. and Spidey? I may show up late, but at least I am moving. Unlike statue over there."
Deadpool walked over to Echo and waved his hand in frot of her face.
"Hello?"

[Libaries]

Storm was walking around the SHIELD Helicarrier and walked past the training room. Hearing a lot of commotion, she popped her head inside to see what was happening. "Anything wrong in here? There was a lot of noise, and it sorta sounded like a thunderstorm." Then, for an example, thunder was heard in the distance.

[JuNii]

Deadpool shook his head.
"Poor, poor web head. He seems to be hurt."
Deadpool walked over to Spider-Man.
"No, I don't know it's number. But my lucky numbers are 3, 7, 15, 23, and 38."
Deadpool looked around.
"Oh. and Spidey? I may show up late, but at least I am moving. Unlike statue over there."
Deadpool walked over to Echo and waved his hand in frot of her face.
"Hello?"

Echo spun and her twin batons sent a drone flying towards the waving Deadpool. Without missing a beat, Echo leapt high and sent one baton ricochetting off a far wall to slam into the mouthy merc's knee, causing him to stagger down out of the way as the drone flew through the area he was standing in to explode behind the merc with the mouth.

She threw her other baton to slam into the drone coming up behind the still stunned Spider-man.

Now bare handed, Echo continued to dance around the remaining drones, hitting and kicking as the opportunity presented themselves.
