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.

Nicky darted down after him, cape flapping. He landed next to Cobalt Man and placed his boot firmly on the villain's back, retrieving his axe. "Look, I hate getting all violent, but sometimes, these things have to be done. What in Hel's going on, buddy?"

"By the time you find out," he growled, trying to force himself up, "it'll be too late!"

"I thought you'd say that." Nicky smacked the Cobalt Man with the blunt end of his axe. "Wanna try again?"

His armor protected him from some of the smack, but not all. "Ow! Hey!"

He grunted. "Okay, okay," he said. "All I know is we were supposed to create a big distraction for you hero-types! That's all, I swear!"
