A battle on two fronts

As soon as Vincent is about to arrive to collect anyone willing to go with him on the rescue mission to Asgard things start to go very wrong. There is suddenly snow pouring down from the sky in Times Square and reports of Frost Giants coming out to attack different parts of the city. The Avengers are going to have to decide what they are going to do really fast.

"Okay. I know it's the middle of winter, but that's way too much snow. Even for New York. Frost Giants or no." Sarah said to no one in particular as she grabbed her shield.

"Wait!" Erin is a bit torn.

"What about Vincent? Didn't he say something about Loki? And.... he has a sister?"

[personal profile] american_dream 2012-08-10 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, Audhild. I think he said Loki nabbed her..." Sarah paused. "Oh crap. I think Loki decided we needed a little distraction."

"So Frost Giants to keep us busy?" She pulls a face.

"I don't like that. I'm still new to the whole...Thing. Are we going to have to split the team?"

"That's Bruce's call, but it looks that way. Either that or call the Future Foundation or X-Men for back-up."
wateronthebrain: (Thoughful)

[personal profile] wateronthebrain 2012-08-10 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess we should wait for everyone to get here." She purses her lips thoughtfully.

"The Foundation is closer so they might be more capable, I guess. But it's Bruce's call."

The snow left her more than a little concerned. Even in winter. This wasn't normal. Kitty went ahead to check the news feeds. Along with the snow, it seems there were Frost Giants. "Well shit." She goes to find Bruce as she pops her iPhone out of her pocket and speed dials Rachel.

Bruce was on his way to the war room, clothing transmuting into his costume in a flash of energy. Time enough to run into Ms. Pryde.

"This as bad as the news feeds are making it sound?"

Jay headed toward the war room with thundering footsteps. He was half-dressed in his uniform. The young Hulk was pulling it on as he went.

"Beep beep. Comin' through." That was about all the warning he gave as he moved. He was distracted by making sure his uniform was on straight.

Space rips open in the middle of the war room as people arrive. Vincent steps through, leaving it open for Kristoff as well. He's heavily armored, by his standards, making adjustments to a pair of weaponized gauntlets that seem to have runes forged into them as well.

"Loki has my sister in Asgard. I'll take as much help as I can get in educating him why this was his worst possible decision since the business with the stallion."

"Vincent," Kristoff says as he comes through. "One does not simply tear the fabric of time and waltz into someone's territory. Well, obviously some people do, but there are St -- also, we need to deal with what is going on in the city as well, it could be related to what has happened to her."
comic_awareness: (Annoyed)

[personal profile] comic_awareness 2012-08-16 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"We all want to get her back, Vincent," Bruce said, "but the fact of the matter is, we also have to contain what's going on here. The X-Men and Future Foundation are offering their support, but it's not going to be enough."

He went on. "Asgard is your territory, however. We're going to need you to have a level head in dealing with all of this."
wateronthebrain: (Full on head tilt)

[personal profile] wateronthebrain 2012-08-16 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Um. Yeah. Still new to all of this but..." She purses her lips. "It's snowing. I know it's winter but we were supposed to have clear skies for like two more weeks... Should we be expecting magical shenanigans on top of everything else?"

What? It's a good question to ask.

[personal profile] enduring_pryde 2012-08-16 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Kitty was disappointed to see Vincent had had no success in getting his sister back. "We have other problems now, too. Frost Giants are attacking the city and it's suddenly the dead of winter." She was of the mind that Vincent's sister being taken and the Frost Giants were connected, but she had no proof at the moment. "I have satellites and CCTV feeds working over time to keep abreast of the weather patterns and anything going on on the ground. Everything just hit, but we gotta get out there soon to contain this." She nodded at Erin. "Pretty much anything is possible out there."

Jay scratched the side of his nose with one massive finger. He was almost tempted to pick it, but then he'd have to consider where to put the booger. Instead, he lowered his hand and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"When do we go smack the giants?" Because all this talking wasn't holding his attention.

"We should get cracking, then." Marcus suggested as he joined them. He hadn't heard the whole briefing, but the words attacking the city got his attention right away. It sounded like an urgent matter that needed seeing to.

[personal profile] comic_awareness 2012-08-19 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce took in a deep breath. He needed to delegate some responsibility here, needed to split the team, needed to do... a hell of a lot.

"Okay. First priority is the Frost Giants. And I think, Erin, you're going to be our best chance here. Frost Giants rely on cold to maintain their size, which, with this winter thing, isn't hard to come by. But if you can create isolated pockets of boiling water around them, make the snow heat up, anything, we can take some of them down.

"Kitty, I'll need you to coordinate efforts with the X-Men, the Future Foundation, and anyone else getting involved in this mess. See if you can get a hold of Roxie and Nicky. We'll need their power, one way or the other. If you can raise Sarah or Susan, have them concentrate on civilian rescue.

"Vincent, if you can get to Asgard, good. But if you're going to do it, it has to be now. Because we have to focus our efforts here, in the city, and I'm not sure who we can spare to back you up."
wateronthebrain: (Thoughful)

[personal profile] wateronthebrain 2012-08-20 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah I mean it's in the middle of January. In New York. It's cold anyways. The snow though..."

She frowns. "I don't think I can heat it up. I can change it's shape and move it though? I've never done something like that."

Wait. She moves water molecules. She can even in the right conditions create water. This is still going to be hard. She bites her lip looking nervous. " I'll do my best. Just.... be ready to back me up. I'll probably get the worst migraine ever once I'm done. I'll be a sitting target after that."

"The X-Men and the Future Foundation are waiting on my word." And while she was at that, she sent both groups the data she was pulling up via CCTV and satellite feeds.

She typed in a prompt and a message to be delivered vocally to Roxie, Nicky, Sarah, and Susan. You are being summoned to the War Room immediately.

[personal profile] vincent_amora 2012-08-21 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Vincent bit his lip, even as he twisted inside at the mention of Roxanne again, as he looked around the room, and confirmed the reports of Frost Giants attacking.

A single thought welled up regarding rescuing Audhild, and it sickened him.

"I cannot do this alone...

If we can dispose of the Frost Giants, will you help me save Audhild then?"
avengingwarbird: (Default)

[personal profile] avengingwarbird 2012-08-24 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Roxie responded to the message immediately, pulling Nicky along in her wake. She brushed back a lock of brunette hair, a red glow emanating from her body as her street clothes turned to the Grecian-style armour she had taken to wearing.

"I'm pretty sure all hands will be on deck to save her," she said, speaking to him for perhaps the first time since their break-up.

[personal profile] asgardian_angel 2012-08-24 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Nicky nodded his assent to Roxie's words. "The Frost Giants should be tricky - there certainly will be no negotiating with them - but we're here for you, Amorason."

"Of course, man," Bruce said. "We're a team."

He pinched the bridge of his nose, then pulled up his mask. "Okay, here's the plan. Erin's our key here. She hits them with whatever direct water-heat she can. We hit them with what we can, plus whatever else we can dish out, Nicky and Jay form the follow-up hammer. Susan and Sara are on civilian protection. Marcus, you're in charge of protecting Erin out there. Roxie and I stay on airborne harassment where we can. Vincent, mid-range support and spells."

He looked over his teammates. "The X-Men and the FF are going to be out there too. We're not alone. But that doesn't diminish what we have to do here. Support each other, call for help if you need it, and hit these guys hard. It's not for nothing these guys are the enemies of the Asgardians."

A nod. "Let's go."

Jay clapped his large hands together gleefully. "I get to do some giiiiant tossing!"

He paused. "Just gotta watch out for the tin can man on a flying horse. Aether would look so sad under a giant's butt."

Rachel was in one of those rare moments of time to herself. She was between lessons and checking out some clothing online. When her phone rang, it floated off the desk and to her ear. With just a thought it connected.

"Xavier's Home for Insane Instructors."

"I fear it's going to get worse really fast," she says, holding up her phone. "We need help out there. I'm getting the X-Men on this too." She strides along with Bruce to the war room, but sidesteps Jay.

"Ray!" And from the snarky answer, she doubts her friend has heard about what is happening. "Frost Giants are attacking New York City. We need your help."
nohoundsallowed: (Huh?)

[personal profile] nohoundsallowed 2012-08-11 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Frost Giants?" She wasn't sure she heard that correctly. Though it wasn't like Kitty had a speech impediment. "As in Asgard?"

Asgard usually meant bad things for the X-Men. Rachel stopped eying red leather online and rubbed her eyes.
comic_awareness: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] comic_awareness 2012-08-12 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce nodded. "Good call. We need get the Future Foundation team in on this too. This is one of those all hands on deck scenarios."
enduring_pryde: (facing the future)

[personal profile] enduring_pryde 2012-08-12 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Exactly. Turn on the news, Ray." Or Ray could take a look at the images that Kitty is thinking about in Rachel's direction. There are multiple sites and the Avengers are on the case on this end, but we need you guys too. She closes her cellphone, ending the call.

"Future Foundation, right." And she's opting to going to the communications console in the War Room over the use of her cell. She personally knows Rachel, so it's a little different.

We're mobilizing the forces now. I'll let you know what we're doing when it's been decided. Kitty felt a little bad about throwing this on Rachel's lap, but it couldn't be avoided. I don't want to deal with them any more than you do. Kitty hated every second they were in Asgard. It took some out-tricking the trickster to get them home, but it was managed. And what they were dealing with now wasn't exactly different. Loki probably have had a hand in this, too. Kidnapping was one of Loki's MOs. Kitty didn't know about using the Frost Giants. Then she's giving Rachel a run down of what had just happened with Vincent's sister and how they were just about to assemble a group to get her back. And then in the mean time, frost giants.

Kitty turns back to the console and calls up the Future Foundation.

Rachel much rather the info dump from her rapport with Kitty than getting spun news off the TV. Her phone floated back to her desk, and the redhead rubbed her face with her hands. She hated magical things. They were her weakness.

I'll have Doug lock the students on campus. Then I'll round up the active X-Men and send them to New York.

She pushed herself to her feet and went to roust people.

Mary picked up the call.

"Monster-Busters Inc, the ones you're gonna call when there's something strange in your neighborhood, how can I help you?"
enduring_pryde: (cute little profile)

[personal profile] enduring_pryde 2012-08-12 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. Ray. Tell Doug I say hi. And after all of this is settled, I need to talk to you two. But only when there wasn't some immediate threat crashing on their heads.

"Ah," she smiles at Mary, tapping a few buttons on a pad. "I thought that was the Ghost Busters?" Her demeanor shifts back to professional. "This is Shadowcat, of the Avengers," her voice dropped for a second. It sounded odd, even to her ears, but that's where she was now. "There are Frost Giants attacking New York. I have satellites tracking them and can send you their coordinates. I've already reached out to the X-Men, but we need the Foundation's help too."

[personal profile] stormy_skrull 2012-08-13 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Spin-off franchise," Mary explained, keeping it light."

"I'll mobilize the troops," she said instead. "Just tell us where you need us."

"Good name." She smiled. And she appreciated the light sentiment.

"Thanks. Will do. Good luck." Her screen changed to black and she turned again to her team.
