Not Slipping Through Her Fingers Again ((Wild Pack))

[symkarian_princess]

Nika knew she should have waited for her sister to return. Lisa should be the one to handle this mission, but she was still out with a smaller team. She was en route, but Nika didn't think it would be fast enough. Once mercenaries like the Wild Pack got a lead on HYDRA, they tended to disappear into the grass. And one of the images in the file she received made the Symkarian determined to not let them disappear on her.

She called in all her people still in base. She put out a notification for Hana to come in. She wanted as much fire power as she could muster quickly. Then she went down into the armory to find her more powerful guns. They were locked away and only she and Lisa had access. She pulled out the cases and headed toward one of mother's old Swans she had given to them.

Nika hoped the team assembled quickly. She wanted this nest of HYDRA before they went to ground.

Quinn arrived as quickly as possible, bringing his rifle case and expecting a mission.

"Hey, Boss. You called?" he asked.

[ngm_adults]

"Hello, Very Little Boss!" Fin's voice boomed as he entered the room, weaponless except for his massive arms of hitting. He grinned widely and clapped his hands together. "Will we be hitting?"

[shadeblossom]

It took a few minutes for Hana to maneuver her bike through NY traffic to the embassy. Taking a page from her mother's book, she arrived in cargo pants and a shirt with an eight-pointed star on the front. Black, though, like her Dad's.

"What's up?" She asked curiously, fighting the urge to bounce in place. Adventure! Woo!

[pussyfootaround]

Felicity arrived in full Black Cat regalia.

These were her tools and they came in handy for what she needed to do most of the time.

"You called, I came," she said, giving her boss-slash-girlfriend a playful little salute. "What's the what, boss?"

[molecana]

"Yo."

Gina stretched, cracking her neck and reaching up to adjust the strap on her spandex tank top. She took a big drink out of the gallon sized container of Pumpkin Spice Triple Caffeine Espresso Apocalypse in her hand, her eyes flickering over the top at those massive arms of hitting.

[symkarian_princess]

"I called. Load up into the Swan," she said with a nod toward the stealth jet. "We've got a mission to hit a HYDRA nest. I'll give more details en route."

She hauled her atypical gun cases into the jet. It would buy her a little time to figure out which details to leave out. Most of them didn't know about her previous run-in with this HYDRA doctor, but those that did had enough power to stop her.

Maybe should hide behind Gina if any of them realized...

[i_can_hit_that]

"We're going against Hydra?" Quinn asked.

Well, business just picked up. He grabbed his gear and made to head for the Swan.

"I've need a crack at these guys anyway. They have some info I want." he said.

He sent Tina a text on the way.

/Honey, got called away on a mission. See you when I get back. <3/

[pussyfootaround]

Felicity raised an eyebrow behind her special goggles. "HYDRA, huh? I wonder if they'll be serving any pizza this time." Her dargonite-tipped claws gently skished out of her gloves and she flexed her fingers. A smiled played across her lips. HYDRA nest. Lots of pretties to steal if there was time.

And what couldn't they do with HYDRA's secrets?

Felicity glanced at Quinn. "Hey look. Something in common. They have stuff I'd like to get my paws on as well. This could be fun."

[shadeblossom]

Hana didn't have anything exactly personal against Hydra, apart from them just being plain evil. If it had been The Hand or Red Room, it would be worse. This, though? She was just excited.

On her way onto the Swan, she sent Misha a message to pick up the boys and not wait on her for dinner.

[ngm_adults]

"I would like to hit Hydra very much." They made such a satisfying thunk when he smacked them into things like buildings and tanks.

Fin stepped aside politely to allow all the ladies onto the Swan, then followed happily behind, the ramp under his ceek creaking just slightly under his weight.

[molecana]

HYDRA? Gina shrugged. The name didn't mean very much to her. Getting paid to hit things without having to dodge superpowered do-gooders was growing on her, however.

She settled in to one of the reinforced seats on the Swan, pulled out her phone and sipped her caffeine bomb.

[symkarian_princess]

Nika stowed her weaponry and made sure her team settled in. Once they were in the air and underway, she made sure the autopilot was on. Then she turned her chair to face them.

"I've come into some information that a small HYDRA base has been revealed in Colombia. It's in the jungle usually controlled by drug cartels. We'll land in a small clearing a klick or two away. We'll go in, clear as many out as we can, grab what we can and leave. Standard HYDRA mission protocols. They surrender, strip them of weapons and gear. They try to kill you, you're allowed to try to kill them back."

[i_can_hit_that]

"Don't worry, Boss. They try to kill any of us and I'll drop them." he said.

"Is there anything or anyone in particular we're looking for in here? I don't want to put a bullet in someone we need to collect a pay day on." Quinn said.

[pussyfootaround]

Felicity probably wasn't going to kill anyone. It wasn't her style. Maim, injure, hurt, sure. But she was no killer.

"You guys find anything super-mysterious or valuable? Contact me. I'd like to bring it into the lab for further inspection."

[shadeblossom]

As a general rule, Hana tried not to kill people. However, if they tried to kill her first, all bets were off. She had too much to go home to. No taking chances.

She giggled at Felicity's request. She could sympathize with the desire to collect shiny things. And taking them from HYDRA didn't really count as stealing, right...?

"So, we're just looking for maximum destruction?"

[ngm_adults]

"I am very good at destruction." He wasn't too bad at not-destructing, either, but the former was more entertaining.
