The Defenders Renewed (Group Thread Open To All)

[silvertongue217]

He wasnt expecting the punch

"FUCK!" He shouted rubbing his face watching as she climbed out of the car. He watched her crawl away shaking his head and glaring at her.

"Im sorry" He said opening the door and keeping his hands up so she could see them "I didnt think you would freak out about it but I should have asked okay?" He said coming to the other side of the car and keeping his hands up.

"Back in the good old days?" John said sighing and looking around the halls sadly "we had about a hundred members each of them on their own teams the base is designed to hold more however we always thought there would be some great powered person exodus" he said patting the walls.

"It would have been nice to have seen this place in its full glory." Veronica said. "But if you had a hundred members, surely there are more than you and Avery left. Where are the rest?" Veronica asked.

"It would have been nice to have seen this place in its full glory." Veronica said. "But if you had a hundred members, surely there are more than you and Avery left. Where are the rest?" Veronica asked.

"We werent exactly allowed to keep track of one another or stay in touch after the accords" John said "not that I didnt try" he murmured narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Some retired some went into some decided to live amongst regular people" John explained "some went mad though losing it and what were all about their ability to protect and keep every one safe it became to much for some to bear"

"I dont know how many of us are left" John said sighing "I am sure they heard the call but are to afraid to come back out after all we were told what would happen if we restarted the defenders"

 

[Aliceinchains36]

Max cracked her neck again before shaking her head. "Yea. Yea it's cool. They liked to grab my face and..." She cracked her neck again. "Don't touch my face." She finally said, standing up. "And sorry about yours." She said walking over and taking the contacts from his hands. She put them into her eyes and blinked. "Ok. They're in. I'm good to go. Who am I killing?" She asked.

"Hopefully more will come in time." Veronica said as she and John arrived at the training center. The pair silently entered the room to watch Avery and Spark spar.

"And sorry about yours." She said walking over and taking the contacts from his hands. She put them into her eyes and blinked. "Ok. They're in. I'm good to go. Who am I killing?" She asked.

"How about we slow it down a bit okay?" Gregory said shaking his head and turning to look at where they were. He shook his head going over the the trunk and popping it out before fishing out a spider.

"Scout" he said throwing it up in the air. It lifted up flying up into the air before it began to blink red.

"Okay so" Gregory said as a birds eye view popped up in both of their eyes from the spiders camera "looks like the factory is there" He said as the camera zoomed in on a factory to their left.

"now we just need to figure out how many guys they got" Gregory murmured bringing the spider in for a closer look.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

Max watched as the screen showed the factory. She fired a few rounds into the air and watched as three armed guards emerged from the factory. She fired in the air again, and watched as they moved in her direction. She grabbed Gregory and the pair hid behind a wall as the guards approached. They walked past the wall, and that's when Max attacked. She shot the man on the left, then the one on the right, before tackling the one in the middle to the ground, all within the space of a few seconds. She stabbed the man through the hand with one of her knives before speaking. "How many guys in the factory!? Don't tell me and I cut off your balls!" She growled, twisting the knife in his hand. "Twenty five! Twenty five!" He screamed, agony clear in his voice. "Twenty four." She grinned, removing the knife from his hand and cutting his throat.

Max stood up and returned to Gregory, still smiling like a wolf. "So there are either twenty four or twenty two guys in there. What's the plan?" She asked, her excited face inches away from Gregory's.

 

[silvertongue217]

Gregory shook his head sighing "the plan was to get recon figure out the best way in then make a plan of attack" He stated "but since you decided to already announce our presence shot three guys who will no doubt need to radio in any second and confirm that there was no one or it was nothing there by letting every one relax....." He trailed off shaking his head.

"we do it your way" Gregory said moving away from her and going to the trunk "Attack mode" He said to the spiders. They popped out crawling out of the truck and jumping down before skittering toward the facility.

"You follow them and they will watch your back" He sad pulling out his tablet and crouching down to study the feeds.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"I told you not to be a pussy." Max said, standing up. "It's more fun this way." She said, before running towards the factory. When she saw men coming out of the building, she slid to cover behind an old car. "Show me what'cha got Kitty!" She exclaimed, popping out of cover and downing a man before getting back down.

"If you think im actually going to go in guns blazing your not paying attention" Gregory said rolling his eyes and tapping a few commands into the tablet. The spiders jumped forward their guns whiring to life as they took down the men coming out of the building two of the five leapt into the air mini rocket launchers popping out of there under bellies and shooting into the factory.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"Not bad Kitty." Max said, ducking into a house and moving forward through it. She smashed out a window and began to fire from the cover of the house. She killed four more men, while Gregory's spiders killed three. "Ive gotten eight guys since we landed Kitty. Keep up!" Max shouted, diving through the open window of the house. She sprinted forward and dived behind a concrete barrier, narrowly avoiding a burst of billets that flew past her.

 

[silvertongue217]

"For god sake woman watch your ass" Gregory said shaking his head and hitting a button. The spiders dropped down two of them covering her with a hail of gun fire. Two more landed on the upper gangway "spinnerets" coming out of their mandibles and launching netting at two of the men.

"Two down for interrogation" He told her the two spiders who captured him acting as guards "Lets finish this and mop up"

The spiders covering her jumped back into the air guns flaring as they targeted and took down the men swarming in.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"You watch it!" Max said, taking down another man and moving forward. She was in the zone now, killing and moving like pure death, laughing manically all the while. "Are you motherfucking ready!" She laughed, opening her bag of nail bombs. She threw a bomb into the factory before running forward. It exploded a moment before she entered the factory. She sprayed bullets into the remaining men, laughing and killing, until finally the factory was empty.

"Fuck I love that!" Max shouted happily, walking out of the factory. "That was better than-" Max was cut off by the sound of gunfire and a curse of pain. Someone still inside the factory shot her through the thigh as soon as she cleared the factory doors. In almost the same moment as she was shot, Max spun around and threw a knife at her attacker.

"Got 'em Kitty. Now get over here and help me walk, this fucking hurts." Max said, limping towards Gregory.

 

[silvertongue217]

"One second" Gregory said ignoring her for a second as he keyed in a series of rapid commands to his spiders.

"I need to salvage at least some source of intel" Gregory said setting his spiders to scour for any electronic access port or computer and to interface. The two spiders guarding his captives reattached the netting to their bodies before they began to drag the spiders back to the truck.

"now come over here" Gregory said walking over to her and setting his backpack down "I hope your not afraid of needles" He said pulling out a small syringe "nanobots there going to numb and begin healing the wound" He said jamming it into her leg and pressing down before picking her up easily in his arms and carying her bridal style to the truck.

"And before you think about pushing your self out of my hands or some shit just relax okay?" He said snorting.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"I'm not a fucking Disney princess, it's just a little bullet hole." Max said shifting in his arms until she managed to get down. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder and leaned on him for support as they walked towards the truck. "I don't need to be treated like a little girl. I've been shot tons of times. Just slap a bandaid on it and give me some painkillers. I'll be fine." She said, climbing into the truck. She pulled a cigarette from her pocket and lit it. She took a long draw before exhaling the smoke with a contented sigh. "Ok. Go get your intel. I'll hang out here. And don't torture the prisoners without me!" She said, leaning back in the seat and taking another pull from her cigarette.

Avery stopped her screech as soon as Jordan was down. It was then, when he was still and prone, that she noticed his clothing of lack there of. And then he started laughing. Shed would be lying if she said she didn't think it was a bit odd.

"Looks like that's us done for a bit at least. I think I will make it my personal mission to make sure you get a suit that moves with you!" Avery walked over closer to Jordan and held out get hand to him.

"You did well," Avery added, "though I'm not sure what's so funny?"

"This is just so ridiculous! I'm not a hero, just some kid who can snap! And somehow I've made it to a moon base to train with not only the sexiest girls in the galaxy, but also national heroes and world savers! This is every teenagers dream come true, and all I can think about is how lame it is that I was getting my ass whooped. I'm exstatic, that's all."

"Also, don't worry about the suit, this is more than I've ever had to teleport in one sitting. I've always been able to scrounge up something in between events, and honestly it's become a soothing thing for me. So take a good look now, because I doubt you'll see me naked like this again on combat."

Jordan added in that last sentence in a joking manner, but he'd be lying if he said this last few hours hadn't been exciting for him. These girls were either half naked or wearing a second skin as their outfit, and they were all sexy as hell. And what with all the contact him and Siren had had, well, he was only a teenager after all. He was excited in more ways than one to be here.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery laughed with Jordan, shaking her head in disbelief at his rambling. She chuffed a bit, at the thought that he found her attractive. It was nice when people weren't put off by her wings.

"Well, out in the field you're probably going to be doing a butt load of snapping.. I mean, it is entirely up to you if you wanna end up naked. I s'pose it would be a good distraction for your foes... Though not so good for your team mates." She winked at him.

"Besides, you did bloody well. You may not have beaten me as such, but you learnt quickly and used some awesome tactics. Maybe one day you will take me down." Avery looked down at him, then realised her eyes had probably lingered on his exposed parts for too long.

"Let's get you some new gear and then we can try some hand to hand. I don't want you knocking me down because I got to distracted by..." She nodded towards his chest before turning and making her way towards the armory in the far side of the room. From memory there were a number of different types of gear he would be able to choose from.

 

[ADmiral3]

Jordan nodded in agreement and stood up to follow her, his pants sliding off of his body. He decided that maybe he should conserve a little modesty, and picked up his mutulated shirt and wrapped it around his waist, covering himself before following her to get the 'gear' she had mentioned. He wasn't entirely sure what she thought he could use, nothing lethal, hopefully. And mobility enhancers never helped him too much anyways, what with his powers.

Either way, he was perfectly happy to walk behind her, admiring her curves, yes, but also her wings. God those were majestic, watching her breeze through the air on the gargantuan extensions. Like a real angel!

 

[SinisterSpiders]

'Alright, here we are," Avery said with glee, finding the storage room just where she had left it ten years ago. Inside the room was an assortment of weapons as well as different types of armour and costumes. "Some of this belonged to people with all sorts of powers, invisibility, stretch, fire... Surely something there could work for you?". Jordan was now down to a shirt tied around his waist.

Avery leaned against the wall as she let him look around. She already had everything she needed on her; armour and dagger. Normally she would have her bow and arrow, but they didn't make for good sparring tools.

"So, how did you get up here? I only know a handful of people who have been able to get through Central's security unseen."

Avery walked over to a sink in the far corner and took some disposable cups. She filled two up with water and offered one to Jordan as she took a sip of her own.

 

[ADmiral3]

"Woah, this is some neat shit. How long have you guys had all of this? 'Cause honestly with this stuff it looks like you guys could make anyone a super, just give him a blaster or something!"

He browsed, not entirely sure of what to do. He recognized some of the weapons from the media, but alot of these were new to his eyes, and he had no idea how they worked.

He looked back to Avery, "Is there some kind of instruction manual for these things? I feel like I'm in Super IKEA."

"I'm not a fucking Disney princess, it's just a little bullet hole." Max said shifting in his arms until she managed to get down. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder and leaned on him for support as they walked towards the truck. "I don't need to be treated like a little girl. I've been shot tons of times. Just slap a bandaid on it and give me some painkillers. I'll be fine." She said, climbing into the truck. She pulled a cigarette from her pocket and lit it. She took a long draw before exhaling the smoke with a contented sigh. "Ok. Go get your intel. I'll hang out here. And don't torture the prisoners without me!" She said, leaning back in the seat and taking another pull from her cigarette.

"Not on either of us to torture or get intel" Gregory said turning to her and shaking his head "at least not from those two" he said jerking his thumb at the two prisoners tied up in the back "Commander will take care of those two all we have to do is wait for the spiders to finish combing and tapping into any and all computers in the building"

Gregory swung his backpack over his shoulder going to the truck bed and making sure the prisoners were secure and passed out. He then pulled out his own pack of smokes hitting the bottom with the palm of his hand as he always did before he finally pulled one out and lit it.

"Wonder what they wanted with a small little factory?" Gregory murmured eyeing it up and down "It could just be one of their warehouse and storage facilities" he said stroking his chin as his spiders started flying back to the car.

 

[silvertongue217]

"There you guys are" John said walking in with Veronica in tow "we were coming to check in on your training and noticed you two had left"

He walked over noting Sparks over excitement and grinning "this is nothing compared to the vaults thats where we keep retired hero's and captured villains stuff this stuff is just left overs from a forgotten generation" John said sadly leaning against the wall.

"However we will get you properly outfitted for missions we havent had any one yet with your unique power set however I am sure Gregory can get you an outfit that wont be lost every time you snap now when it comes to weaponry I will let you decide on how you want to fight though I am sure Veronica and Avery can both get you outfitted for close range and long range battle Veronica also is going to be training you for your insertion in to Russia" He said nodding at the assassin.

"Max and Gregory are moping up at the warehouse now the terrors are being quite and no doubt planning their next attack" John said looking at each of them in turn "I dont expect them to be quite for very much longer though"

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"Well make it on me! I'm great at torture. You saw me with that dude I caught. He was spilling his guts in the first ten seconds." Max said adjusting her leg, and wincing. "This sucks. After a fight like that I wanna fuck someone, but with my stupid leg, I'll have to be on my back like a bitch." Max complained finishing her smoke and flicking the butt onto the ground. "Once we get up top, you good to go a couple rounds?" Max asked, tugging at the front of his belt. "I won't be any good right now, but we'll both get off at least." She said, managing to undo his belt buckle.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"Then you and Avery start preparing to deal with them. Like you said, bullets won't be much help, so there's no reason for me to go. And Spark still needs training." She said to John, but looking at the half naked hero. "You, get dressed, get equipped, and meet me in the training room. Five minutes, don't make me wait." Veronica said, turning in her heel and leaving the room.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Back in the good old day, this moon station had been filled with dozens of personalities that were too large for the Earth. If Cheif's new recruits were anything to go by, Avery had no doubt that this new team would surpass the old one in that manner. She watched as Veronica swiftly took command of the situation and she shook her head as she sighed. She looked over at Jordan and shrugged, an eyebrow arching.

"Just so you know, apart from Chief, you are under no obligations to follow anyone else's orders around here. Unless he tells you to. When we get to full capacity again you'll find that this place can get a bit... crowded." She informed him, her mind drifting to the wild card she had met earlier, Max. She wondered that the woman had gotten her claws into poor Spiders so quickly and hoped Jordan wouldn't be reeled in against his own desire. She remembered being the fresh meat on base, she remembered feeling as though she was the least of them all. She hoped that Jordan would find his place sooner than she had, that he would realise that he was already powerful in his own right even if he was young.

"Go ahead if you like, we can always catch up later. I can show you what these do if you are still interested," Avery motioned around at the weapons.
