Assault on PEGASUS

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

Project PEGASUS, located outside Mount Athena, New York, was one of the premier energy research facilities in the world, exploring all manner of exotic technologies and resources.  It had, at times, been used to hold energy-empowered super-criminals, and had, at times, boasted super-humans as their security directors, ranging from the Thing to the Blue Shield to Darkhawk.  Neither of those were a factor these days.

But it was still a tempting target to many a super-villain and other criminals. 

Such as today.  Several members of the Lethal Legion had arrived, assaulting the compound.

A call for help went out to the Avengers.

Bruce sat in the pilot's seat of the Quinjet, speeding them along their way.

"Looks like multiple super-villain contacts," he said to the team. "All of whom have been off the map for a while. Be ready for anything."

[lil_hulk]

Jay picked at his teeth with his thumbnail. He was sure there was some spinach from his pizzas earlier stuck between a couple. He ran his tongue over his teeth again once he thought he got it.

"So multiple punchings of justice. Got it. Butt kicking for goodness."

[asgardian_angel]

"Sometimes, I think that I have to set this whole pacifist thing aside," Nicky said off-handedly. "Seems like villains never actually want to have a conversation on how not to cause lots of property damage and mayhem." This, coming from the man with a strong, mystical axe that could cut through almost anything.

"Jay, you can always ask to see if I have a toothpick or floss with me," Ree said with an arched brow. Jay had become a good friend, keeping her secret and even smoothing her way onto the team as a heroine called Sterling because of the shiny silvery steel that she could turn herself to. It was either that or Armadillo. She preferred Sterling.

"The bad guys aren't usually cool with talking. They prefer grunts."

[comic_awareness]

"Bad guys never want to talk," Bruce agreed. "Getting some security footage from PEGASUS now. Looking like... at least four bad guys outside, maybe more inside. We should be overhead... now."

He threw the Quinjet into hover-mode.

"Hit them hard, hit them fast, watch for civilians, and back each other up."

He popped the hatch. "Avengers... ASSEMBLE!"

Abomination vs. Jay

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

The Abomination laughed. "Bring it on, Greenskin!"

Re: Abomination vs. Jay

[lil_hulk]

Jay pulled himself out of the small crater he made. His large hands brushed the grass off the white parts of his uniform. It wouldn't do to go into a throwdown messy and stained all ready. He shook clumps of soil out from between his toes before he started loping toward the Abominable Blueman.

"The bigger they are, the harder I hit!" His loping stride turned into a full out charge at his foe. Fists were ready to meet with evil-doer body.

"That doesn't make any sense!" the Abomination roared, taking the blow. His hard, scaly hide absorbed the bulk of the blow, pushing him back just a little.

"My turn." He threw a punch of his own.

[lil_hulk]

"Aww. Poor Abominable Babyman. No brains with his brawn." He scratched his chin as his mighty smack only moved Big Blue back only a little.

Which was hardly a defensive posture to take against an incoming punch. It connected solidly sending Jay back more than a little.

"Oof!" Jay grinned as he pulled himself back up. He cracked his knuckles. "Fear not! I will inspire you all by charging blindly on!"

He charged again. However, this time he went a little lower for a grapple. It would be fun fighting someone who didn't break.

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

The Abomination locked into grappling with Jay.

"Give it up, kid. I'm strong enough to fight the real Hulk. And you ain't him."

Basilisk vs. Ree

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

As soon as he spotted her, Basilisk opened fire on Ree with his eyebeams.

Re: Basilisk vs. Ree

[alegacyofchaos]

"Oh look. Eyebeams. Woo."

Ree was not impressed. A beam bounced off her steel form and she bent it back at Basilisk.

Re: Basilisk vs. Ree

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

"What the hell?!" he cried out, throwing himself out of the way of the returning beams.

"What the hell are you made out of, toots?"

Re: Basilisk vs. Ree

[alegacyofchaos]

"Angry. I'm made out of angry," Ree said very calmly albeit sharply. "And PMS."

Re: Basilisk vs. Ree

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

His jaw dropped for a second, then closed sharply. Okay, he couldn't shoot her directly... maybe he could take her out another way!

He fired his eye beams at the ground under her feet.

Cobalt Man vs. Nicky

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

The Cobalt man unleashed a barrage of energy bolts at Nicky.

Re: Cobalt Man vs. Nicky

[asgardian_angel]

Nicky avoided them - or at least tried to. He even swatted some bolts away with the side of his axe.

One cleanly tore his red cape in half though.

Did that count as first blood? Nicky wasn't sure.

Taking a deep breath, he flew back a little bit, raised his arm, and threw his axe down at the Cobalt Man. It didn't have the same values that Mjolnir had. It was a strong axe, but anyone, worthy or no, would be able to lift it.

Nicky was counting on Cobalt Man not realizing that.

Re: Cobalt Man vs. Nicky

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

The Cobalt Man didn't even plan on trying. Instead, he unleashed a blast of energy to try and deflect it.

Re: Cobalt Man vs. Nicky

[asgardian_angel]

Okay, more energy. Nicky hadn't expected that. He raced after the axe and got caught in a blast of energy.

It sent him spinning away for a moment.

Doctor Spectrum vs. Bruce

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

Doctor Spectrum rose to meet Bruce in the air, forming a giant spiked mace in the air of solid energy.

Re: Doctor Spectrum vs. Bruce

[comic_awareness]

Bruce hammered the mace with photonic blasts, trying to get a sense of the energy it was made out of. If he could get a handle on it, he could absorb it.

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

The mace's exterior cracked as Bruce hammered away at it, but Doctor Spectrum pressed on. As the mace cracked, a dozen arrows of energy shot out from within, flying towards Bruce.

[comic_awareness]

"Gah!" Bruce let out a grunt as the first of the arrows sliced across him, hurting a little, but not too much yet. He threw up a force field around himself to deflect the rest of the barrage.

Post-Fights

[comic_awareness]

Bruce dropped carefully to the ground, quite a bit of her solar energy reserves depleted. "Sound off."

Re: Post-Fights

[lil_hulk]

"There be safety in numbers and I am two or three at least." Jay loped easily toward Brucie-baby. He only had minor grass stains on his uniform. Though he did check to make sure there were no blue scale bits stuck between his fingers.
