To me, my Wild Packians. Wild Packers? Wild Packspeople?

[symkarian_princess]

Team exercises were going to be an interesting affair considering one the newest team members fugitive status from SHIELD. However, having all of the Americas as their duty area meant Nika could get somethings done outside of the U.S.A. Which is how she worked a team training exercise at the Kaibil School, in Poptún, Guatemala.

The Kaibil had the most prestigious, vigorous, arduous military courses in Central America. It took some talking to get her team in to use the facilities, but Nika managed it. It also helped she set up a couple side missions to be handled by Fin and Lisa for this trip to be profitable.

At the moment, Nika stood in the prisoner of war camp replica with her newest Wild Pack members. They were in the middle of a jungle and the camp looked abandoned.

Comments

"I feel like I need one of Mom's old jungle Black Cat costume variants for this mission," Felicity said lightly, adjusting the goggles on her mask. "Something lower cut, with a bit more fur or something, you know?"

[i_can_hit_that]

Quinn just shook his head. "Do you really need less clothing, Fel? You don't wear much as it is." Quinn teased.

It had taken some time but he was starting to get the hang of how to deal with Nika and Felicity. Nika was business, Felicity was business until the mission was over.

"So, who owns this place again?" Quinn asked, looking around. It looked like an installation but it was abandoned. He didn't want to get surprised if the owners came wanting it back.

[pussyfootaround]

"A little bit of extra shoulder and cleavage never hurt anyone," Felicity said lightly. "Until the ones staring get distracted and I claw into them, anyway." She brushed the strands of her long, platinum blonde wig over her shoulder. "The Kaibil? I don't know all that much about them." Pause. "I was really hoping you'd have chosen Brazil, though, Nika. It would have enabled me to visit Viridian Dynamics."

[symkarian_princess]

Nika quirked an eyebrow at Felicity's question. "Unless you're trying to get into a jaguar's good graces, you're fine. And that's the reason we didn't go to Brazil."

She shook her head slightly in amusement and turned to Quinn to answer his question. "The Kaibiles do. They're a special operations force of the Military of Guatemala. They specialize in jungle warfare tactics and counter-insurgency operations. They also gave us permission to use their facilities for training."

[i_can_hit_that]

Quinn nodded. "Nice work, Nika. I like it. I like it alot." he said.

[pussyfootaround]

"Killjoy." Felicity grinned at Nika. No, she didn't quite mean it, but man, did she ever want to check the Brazilian company out. The fact that the head honcho there was in the States made it a little less dangerous to check the place out, too.

One day, she promised herself.

"So, what's the training exercise today?" Whatever it was, Felicity was sure that it didn't involve giant Sentinels.

[symkarian_princess]

"Today, we will be attempting a rescue operation. The opposition will be some of the Kaibil School recruits. Somewhere in this camp will be our target. We are to find her and get her to the extraction point. We may or may not have back-up." Nika tilted her head slightly as she looked over her small team.

"Any questions?"

[ngm_adults]

"I have a question, very little boss!" Fin bellowed cheerfully as he wandered up to the group. He had a pineapple in each hand. One had a large bite taken out of it. "When do I get to hit things?"

[pussyfootaround]

Felicity blinked. She turned to Nika and raised an eyebrow. "Really? You're attacking us with fruit?"

[i_can_hit_that]

"Any man who's ready to attack with fruit is either crazy or supremely confident." Quinn said, taking in Fin.

"I'm guessing the latter for this guy."

[symkarian_princess]

Nika almost smiled at being called 'very little boss.' There was only one person who could get away with that.

"He's not attacking us. He's our back up. This is Fin. He attacks with his fists, not fruit." She turned to the large man with the pineapples. "Soon, Fin. I promise. Just don't permanently damage the soldiers. And this is the rest of the team for this mission, Felicity and Quinn."

[ngm_adults]

"The fruit is for eating, cat girl." Fin told Felicity before he took another bite out of the already bitten pineapple. Why attack someone with it, when it was so tasty?

He nodded at his orders and gave his new teammates a jaunty wave with a pineapple-laden hand when he was introduced. "I will only smash the soldier's stuff, not their heads."

[pussyfootaround]

"It's Black Cat, actually," Felicity said, off-handedly. "So, okay. The pieces are all on the board. Now what, princess?"

[i_can_hit_that]

"Yeah, what next, Boss lady?" Quinn asked. He was ready to give this place a go.

[symkarian_princess]

Nika looked slightly more appreciative of being called 'Boss lady' than 'princess.' She glanced up at her pineapple-eating minion of sorts.

"Well, we have out distraction. Fin, go into town, hit buildings, and make the soldiers come out." That was the easy part. She would have had to do something entirely different if Fin hadn't shown up. She turned to the other two. "Black Cat, on the roofs. See which buildings don't have people rushing out to attack Fin or obviously leave some soldiers in to protect something. Let Quinn and I know over comms while we search buildings in the meantime."

[ngm_adults]

Those orders were music to Fin's ears. He finished off the pineapple he was munching, tossed away the spiny top, and then charged toward the town. In between juicy bites of his second pineapple, he swung his free fist into the buildings he passed, shaking them mightily.

"Come out, soldiers! Time to fight!"

[pussyfootaround]

Felicity nodded and reached up with an arm. She twitched her wrist and a cat-paw shaped hook shot out from her fur-covered arm-band, a thin, strong cable attached to it. One of her grappling hooks. Felicity grinned at Fin and Quinn and winked at Nika before being whisked away to the rooftops.

[symkarian_princess]

Nika raised an eyebrow at the wink but had no other comment on it.

"Non-lethal ammunition," she reminded Quinn as she unholstered one of her sidearms. She motioned for him to go around one side of a building while she moved toward the other. It wasn't a big village. Nika was hoping if something went sideways, reinforcements could get there.

[ngm_villains]

The Kaibil School recruits were expecting something like what Nika and Quinn were doing. They were not quite prepared for the onslaught that was Finn. With his noise and demands, the ones not watching the 'hostages' scrambled out to get at the Wild Pack member.

There was a building to the east and one to the north that only a few recruits in masks came out of. The other huts emptied out to gawk and raise their guns to fire on Finn.

[ngm_adults]

Fin chortled as the bullets pinged off him in bursts. "That tickles!"

Careful not to crush any of the soldiers, he picked up a nearby truck and hurled it just over the heads of a group of gunmen. He laughed when they ducked and scattered. Then again when the truck landed in a twisted heap.

[i_can_hit_that]

Quinn made sure to stay out of sight while Fin drew the attention of their opposition. He tried to find a way into the area where the 'hostages' were being held. The main goal was getting them all out in one piece. His teammates could handle the loud portion and he'd work with Nika to fulfill the mission.

Quinn crept around the side of the building, keeping his ears open for any change in the position of the soldiers within the building.
