A Hotel of Two Tales

[ngm_hydra]

The decrepit-looking hotel near a waterfall in Colombia was a case of the facade not quite matching the interior. Early 20th century grandeur fought against years of disuse and nature's reclamation. While the first floor retained some of it's moldy and waterlogged appearance, it was a deception to keep the local guerillas uninterested in the goings on inside the building. With late night experiments leading to flashing lights in some of the windows, the locals, gun-toting or not, spoke about the old hotel as a haunted location.

The head of that nest was counting on interlopers of the goody-two-shoe variety. Though the planned team wasn't the ones in blue and white. Either way, Huntress 19 had called in assistance from extra nests.

Gina knocked over most of the HYDRA goons coming through the double doors. They weren't quite ready to have the floor move under them.

Fin flattened some robots on his way to the pole. When he hit the pole, he sent HYDRA peons still on it flying. He bent the pole as the ones who made it to the floor tried to flee from him.

Hana took out several scampering robots before they could zap her with their lasers. The robotic numbers were quickly diminishing under her onslaught. The few left were trying to get more spread out to not hit the men in green and zap the people fighting them.

Nika and the Black Cat took down several HYDRA goons. But more kept sliding into the room. The flow was momentarily abated near the double doors. But those coming from the ceiling continued coming from the poles not near Fin.

Some of the HYDRA goons were massing between Nika and the closest member of Wild Pack to her.

Gina waded in to the mass of fallen HYDRA agents, picked one up, and tucked him under her arm.

"Fun? Hell yeah, I'm havin' a freakin' blast!"

She grabbed a stray length of rebar, and twisted one end into a loop around the HYDRA goon's arms, scooped up one of his comrades, and added him to her HYDRA-on-a-stick contraption, too.

"Dis is even better than a mud rally!"

She spotted an agent trying to scramble to his feet and for his weapon. She picked him up by the back of his belt and shook him until he was disarmed, while the other two waved through the air on the end of the girder.

Nika was picking up on the idea these goons were trying to isolate her from her team.

"Fin," she called out, "bowling pins."

Hopefully, a large man knocking these men out of the way would open up a lane back to her team. In the mean time, she backed up a few more steps as she fired into the crowd of green uniforms.

Nika had just set her left heel back when there was an odd whirring noise beneath her feet. She didn't even have time to look down before the floor opened up under her. She did manage a surprised squawk before plummeting down.

The trap doors slammed shut above her once she was through them.

Black Cat whirled at the sound of a squawk and the sound of doors slamming shut. She brought her heel down on one of the HYDRA agent's heads and elbowed another one out of the way.

"Boss!" She yelled out, eyes wide behind her mask. Nika was nowhere.

Talons snapped out of her gloves with full force as she grabbed the nearest HYDRA agent and slammed him against the nearest wall. She dug her claws into his neck. "Where. The. Hell. Is my girlfriend?!"

Hana's shadowy game of whack-a-mole came to an end when Felicity yelled. It took her a second to realize they were down a team member. She shadow hopped closer to the other woman and looked on anxiously. "What happened?"

Whatever Littlest Boss asked, Fin tried to do. He saw Gina having fun with the little green men. He smiled to himself, lowered his shoulder, and charged at the knot of little green men between him and Littlest Boss.

They went satisfyingly flying all over. Except Fin was left with one small problem. Where there should have been a Nika, there wasn't.

"Littlest Boss?" He could have sworn her voice had come from over here.

[symkarian_princess]

While the team couldn't see Nika, they could hear her through the comms. She had a very ripe Eastern European vocabulary until there was a soft thump.

"Uhn. Why the hell is it so bright?"
