The Defenders Renewed (Group Thread Open To All)

[Aliceinchains36]

"even if they dont your going to have your hands full" John said watching as she loaded up before walking with her down "they will probably have some low level goons and if not there more than likely going to be a riot to deal with you will also help with crowd control making sure none of the civies get caught up in the fucking fight" He said walking with her down to the jet.

"So what? Shoot them? They should be able to help. It's their homes getting smashed, not ours. And if they're dumb enough not to run it's their fault, not mine." Max said, following John to the hanger.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"If you think that's all you'll need..." Veronica said disapprovingly. She unbolted her case and quickly assembled and loaded her rifle, allowing one of the spiders to tuck the case in a storage compartment on the jet. "Is there any special gear we should bring? Super villains aren't my forte." Veronica said, adjusting her scope.

"What, now you're asking me for advice?" Avery laughed, shaking her head. "I've dealt with a few supervillains. I can tell you that if what I have isn't enough to get me through, nothing will be. You stick to what you know and I'll stick to what I know. As for the jet, it is just about ready to go now. Provided Chief doesn't have any more special requests." Avery forced the last of the crates I to the cargo bay.

"Central, can you please ask Chief if he has anything else he wants? Beyond the standard and what he mentioned in the mess?" Avery called out, running her hands over her own weapons and making sure she had everything.

"So what? Shoot them? They should be able to help. It's their homes getting smashed, not ours. And if they're dumb enough not to run it's their fault, not mine." Max said, following John to the hanger.

"As I said your going to be helping with crowd control" John once again said to her stepping into the hangar "these are people here innocents the defenders are about protecting the people there about keeping every one safe while we get in their and take down the threats they cant handle" He reminded her walking over to the two girls.

"Well we got a location" John said nodding at them both "were going down Siren and I will move to engage the terrors Max here is going to work on crowd control and taking down whatever goons the terrors brought with them" John explained stepping up on the ramp.

"When were all ready lets move out" he said watching the last of the spiders load up and going to the cock pit.

"Central are you good?" John said sliding into the pilot seat.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery nodded along with the plan. It had been ten years since she had worked with John but she had no doubt that they would fall back into their familiar routine easily. Avery looked around the plane and grinned when she spotted a seat tailored to her needs. Normal et sets were uncomfortable for her, requiring a fair bit of wing shifting and uncomfortable positioning for her to be able to strap herself.

"Looks like you knew I wouldn't be able to resist the call," Avery chirped to John, sitting down and sighing at the ease of it. Most of the back of the chair was gone, it was a plush seat with a narrow support running all the way up to the headrest. The back support was the perfect width to sit snugly between her wing juncture. She was able to ruffle her wings a little as she folded them behind her, pleased at the comfort. She buckled herself in as she waited for take off.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

Max and Veronica climbed into the jet with the others. "I'm ready if everyone else is." Veronica said as she say down. "Me too." Max said, strapping herself in.

"Well I had my suspicions" John said smirking softly and hitting a few buttons to begin the prep and take off "Central begin launch sequence"

"Aye Aye Commander" Gregory said from OPS his fingers flying as he began to activate the launch sequence while also keeping track on the terrors latest rampage.

The lights in the hanger lit up as the Jet turned. It was sleek modeled almost after an arrow in its design., it was all black and clearly designed more for stealth then actual battle. It did however feature the Logo for the defenders on it a shield with two flaming swords in an X.

"Every one strap in" John called back as the engines warmed to life "the UN might decide it wants to try giving us a few warning missile shots"

"If they can even find this baby" Gregory said over the speakers his voice smug "my modifications allow it to-"

"Not now Central" John said pushing the throttle forward and flicking the protective case for the red launch button back "On my mark"

"Mark!"

The Jet shot out of the hangar its engines roaring as it shot out of the moon. John guided her in and in seconds they were burning through the earths atmosphere. John laughed his heart soaring as he piloted the ship to the coordinates they had. It had been a long time since he felt the thrill of a mission, the joy in working with a group of people, and more importantly the adrenalin of flying his jet.

And he was determined never to go without all three of those things again

"Approaching the landing zone now Commander" Central said in mission mode "The terrors are going to be inside the town sqaure were dropping you in right outside the city"

"Got it" John said as the ground came into view "every one ready back there?" He asked his hands guiding the ship down.

Enter The Terrors

It was wanton destruction at its finest

Drax Terror watched the smoke and flames billowing out of the bank and laughed his eyes alight with fire. Inside the anarchist he and his sister had found were hard at work breaking things and taking as much money as they could. The bank manager was already strung up like the pig he was blood dripping out of his body slowly as he slowly bled out.

"She says they are coming" Drena his sister purred coming up behind him and running his nails across his muscular back. The few civilians in the room gasped at the naked girl who looked exactly like him and she made sure to blow them a kiss before becoming smoke and rushing at them. They screamed and cowered and he returned to her wrapping her self around his body and pressing her heated core against the bulge in his jeans as she materialized again.

"Not now dear sister" Drax murmured his voice thick with lust "we much prepare for the has been hero's"

"Do you think they will try sticking us in the vacuum again" Drena purred her lips nipping and biting at his neck "it lead to such fun sex last time....."

"One can only hope" Drax said biting back a groan. Before he could claim her lips he heard the whine of a jet on fast approach.

"there here" Drax and Drena said at the same time before chuckling. Drax leaned in giving his twin sister a deep kiss before pulling away.

"Go get Snow" Drax said his eyes shifting as he began to prepare for his change into smoke "I shall go greet them" he said before his body collapsed into a red smoke cloud and zoomed out of the broken window.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"Ready as I'll ever be," Avery said, smiling as John's sincere enjoyment of the situation. She braced herself for landing and looked out the nearby window. A small town below them, smoke streaming out of almost every building, was their destination. Even if she hadn't been told who was waiting for them there she would have been able to guess; only the Terrors caused such needless destruction. They loved it, those two, it fueled their sick need for death and pain.

When the ship landed (a smooth landing if ever there was one), Avery unbuckled herself and then got up, stretching her limbs and making her way over to the Commander as she checked her weapons. She waited just behind his seat as he finished his post-flight checks.

"Let's do this thing, chief!" She said, grinning as she grasped her bow and got ready to nock an arrow.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"Shut up! Hide! They'll be back any second!" Snow said, pushing the little girl under a desk. "Don't make a sound, and don't come out no matter what. Ok? If you don't stay hidden, the bad guys will get you." Snow said to the scared child. "I thought you were a bad guy." The child replied as she crawled further under the desk. "Me too." Snow sighed, covering the girl's hiding place with a wooden panel. "Remember. Be really quiet. Like a mouse." Snow whispered before standing up. She saw a fire across the room, which she quickly snuffed with a blast of ice, before leaving the room.

"Fury! Get your ass out here! We've got company!"

"Shit." Snow said, when she heard Drena call her. "Back to the madhouse..." She whispered, putting on her best evil face and going outside.

"Anything good?" Drena asked, looking Snow up and down lustily. "No. Just this necklace. Everything else was shit." Snow said, collapsing the wall of the house furthest away from the little girl. "Not even worth going in there." Snow said. "Well quit looting. We finally got a fight on our hands!" Drena said excitedly, pointing to the jet that landed in the square. "Great." Snow said, trying to keep the fear from her voice.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

Veronica looked out the window for a good sniping nest, settling on a church bell tower. "Avery, can you fly me up there? I work better from a vantage point." Veronica asked, pointing the tower out to the other woman. "And where am I going? Don't see much crowd to control. Or minions." Max said, lighting a cigarette and readying her shotgun.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery looked at the tower Veronica had pointed to and frowned, shaking her head. Her body was just enough for her wings ot carry. She had been able to support Jordan and reduce the rate of their fall, she had eve been able to thrust up into the air momentarily, but a sustained flight with Veronica and the Twins near by could be hazardous.

"I don't think so, sorry Duchess. On my own, sure. But with you it would be too risky- I will lose speed and manoeuvrability. I doubt your sniping post will last long if the Terrors see me fly you up there. I can fly out and distract them though. Will that do?"

 

[silvertongue217]

"go ahead Siren and help her get up there I think I see a door by the base" John said nodding at Siren before turning to Veronica "code names when were out in the field even if the names our public to most its just in case" John said nodding at her before turning to Max.

"Oh trust me there is" Max said stepping down on the hangar and turning to her "were on the edge of the city once we get in to the main streets you will see it for now keep close to us Central you online?"

"Im on it" Central said as his spiders began to unload them self from the cargo hold and made their way to the village I am getting patched in to CCTV and getting a birds eye view as we speak"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery walked over to the hatch of the ship, not bothering to look to see if Veronica was following.

"Okay Central, we're good to go," She called out as the hatch opened. The moment it was locked she flew out, extending her wings and spinning as she shot up in to the sky. She looked around, trying to make out their position relative to the Twins.


"Hey team," Avery said through their comm system, "Looks like the Twins have spotted us. They are heading this way. Veronica, now is your time to get to that tower unseen!"

Avery made a show of flying in lazy figure eights about the border of the town, making sure she was facing the Twins and ready for anything. Her bow and arrow were out at the ready as she monitored Veronica's position out of the corner of her eye.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Fucking bitch" Drena growled shaking her head marching with Drax to the Jet "look at her flying up there thinking she is better than us! I cant wait to tear of her limbs and keep her as our new fuck toy"

"Patience sister" Drax said his lips curving into a sinister smile as they stopped in the main town sqaure "Jane said she has plans for all of them before we can play were supposed to deliver her message"

"Bah the bitch" Drena said shaking her head and once more curling her self around Drax "I still say we could take her brother dear" She purred running her nails down his chin.

"She would tear us limb from limb and you know it" Drax said shaking his head "besides she lets us do what we want remember? All we have to do is deliver her message"

................................

"Once Duchess is in position come back down Siren" John said nodding at Max to follow him "Come on there no doubt waiting for us" He said starting to make his way into the city center.

"Central give me a status update" John said ignoring the people looking at them in awe.

"I am getting the spiders set up" Central said coming in to all of their earpieces "you keep em talking as I calibrate the pulse canons hopefully we can distort their power before they can even use them!"

"Here is hoping" John murmured looking over at Max "go ahead and start combing the town you see any one looting or causing trouble you ask them kindly to stop okay?"

 

[Aliceinchains36]

Veronica dashed from the jet, using every piece of rubble as cover. She was like a shadow, darting across the war torn street in a matter of moments. "I've reached the tower Siren. I'll be at the top in two minutes." Veronica said, as she quickly ran up the spiral steps inside the tower.

<^><^><^><^><^>

"If you say so." Max said, hopping out of the jet with John. "Show me who I'm shooting." She said.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery could see the twins watching her. They were standing side by side, altough that was an understatement. It was more like they were inhabiting the same space, as Drena was all over her brother. She kept a good eye on them, not sure why they hadn't attempted to attack her yet, it didn't bode well.

"Central? Can you see anything else around- the Terrors are awfully still down there. I don't like it," Avery said as she swooped down towards a rooftop before pushing back up into the sky.

"Righto Duchess, thanks. Commander I'm coming back down," Avery made sure she didn't turn her back on the twins as she sunk bac dow. When she touched down beside the Chief she shook out her wings and looked at him with a frown.

"They saw me, but they did nothing. Hopefully they're just waiting for us to get closer..." Avery said, looking at the hulk of a man beside her. She didn't bother trying to figure out what the other options were.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"Commander, I'm in place, and I have the Terrors in my sites. There's also a blonde woman with the, further back. She's young, but looks to be with them. Orders?" Veronica said into her comm.

<^><^><^><^><^>

"Right. Shoulder and leg shots. Got it." Max said, digging in the ship's storage until she found a small .22 pistol. "Want me to start looking now?" She asked, loading the small weapon.

 

[silvertongue217]

"I would assume dear Jane has some message to tell us" John said as Siren landed back down "The terrors were never known for being slow or trained however Jane always seemed to be able to control them"

"Try not to shoot any one Melvin" John said to Max "unless there asking for it or doing some terrible shit Central will task some spiders to help you with crowd control whatever you do do not engage the Terrors they will not be any means hesitate to rip you to shreds"

"Duchess watch our backs" John said "as for the kid you see behind them Melvin go ahead and go check her out see if she is a friendly in need or if shes looking for a fight Central back her up with some spiders"

"Got it" Central said as three spiders appeared out of the wreckage of a wrecked farmhouse.

"Commander were about fifty percent there" Central reported just as they came into view of the terrors.

"Well well well!" Drena called laughing and blowing them a kiss "if it isnt the new and improved raggedy ass defenders whats wrong Commander couldnt round up any one but your fuck bird?"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery rolled her eyes at Drena's comments, she was ever the crude fool.

"No, we just didn't think you two were worth getting them out of bed for," Avery replied, eyeing the naked thing with obvious content. Her fingers remained firm on her bow and arrow.

"What brought you two crawling out of your hole?"Avery asked, jutting her chin at the twins. "Jane cracked her whip on your butts again?"

 

[silvertongue217]

"WE DO NOT LET JANE RULE US" Drena snapped her body becoming smoke like as she glared at Siren "you bitch of a-"

"Be that as it may" Drax said stopping his sister "Jane has a message for you for all of your" He said waving his hand in their direction.

"for those of you new to this" Drax said clearing his throat "Jane and the syndicate off you ONE change to leave with no hard feelings you can go back to your lives without any harm or foul continue to do whatever it is you do until the invasion comes" He said pausing "you have five minutes to vacate the area"

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"Right." Max said, disappearing into the rubble as Avery and John approached the terrors.

<^><^> Snow POV <^><^>

Snow watched as the twins traded insults with a giant man and a woman with birds wings. "Because incestuous smoke demons aren't enough." She sighed. She was about fifty feet behind the twins, trying to stay out of sight, when she felt an arm around her neck and a gun barrel poking the back of her head. "Say anything and you get a big ass bullet in your skull." An angry hissed, dragging Snow into the house she'd just left.

<^> Veronica <^>

"Melvin has taken the unknown out of play. They've moved into a collapsed house. You're free to engage." Veronica said over her comm.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery was unable to restrain a light chuckle at the supposed generosity of Jane and the Syndicate. She waited, body tensed and ready to go when Chief gave the word.

 

[silvertongue217]

"while were waiting ill deliver Janes special message to you bird bitch" Drena said snearing. Drax sighed but made no move to stop her.

"Jane knows you two used to fuck or have before she doesnt take to kindly to any one touching HER man she said it doesnt matter how long she takes but shes going to find you and rip your rings out feather by feather" Drena said before laughing "and I get to help!"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"I've always wondered about Jane," Avery said, not even bothering to grace the comment about her and the Chief with a response, "Why is it that she doesn't deliver her own messages? I mean come on, sending you two out? That's just embarrassing. Or do you like being her little lap dogs?"

 

[Aliceinchains36]

In the abandoned house...

"Who are you? Are you with the Terrors?" Max asked, her gun still pressed against the blonde teen's skull. "Yes, technically, but I want out. I thought if I joined I'd be robbing banks and jewelry stores. Not... Not this. No killing and death. They're... They're just so evil!" Snow said, breaking down in tears half way through her speech.

Max wasn't sure if she believed the tears until she heard a tiny voice coming from the other room. She followed the sound, still holding the crying teen by the neck, to a desk covered with a wooden board. Max kicked the board away to see a frightened little girl hiding. As soon as the child's hiding place was exposed, she shot out and wrapped her arms around the teen's leg.

"Shit... Did you hear all that Kitty? I think she's legit. Should I let her go? And what do I do with the kid?" Max asked, releasing the crying teen from the headlock. "What's your name blondie?" Max asked, watching as the teen comforted the sobbing child.

"Snow. I'm Amy Snow." Snow said, wiping her face and stopping herself from crying anymore.
