Marvel Superheroes

Siryn

Theresa calls a cab to come and pick her up. She gives the cabbie the address to the hotel all of the x-men are currently meeting at. The unease and dread she feels have morphed into more of an out of place restlessness. Upon arrival at the hotel she approaches the front desk.

"Ah need the number of Jean Grey's room."

She follows the directions given to her and knocks hesitantly on the door.

"Round two..."
 
Gambit

OOC: Sorry for being away for so long, I'll try to get into the thread as best as I can.

IC: I walked from the room that I had to the suite and knocked on the door. When I didn't receive an answer I knocked again and then thought that something was wrong when I didn't receive an answer then. I stood there and tried to think about where everything was and then slapped my palm against my forehead- I am such an idiot

I turned and ran down the hallway to my room and hoped that I could get changed and to the embassy in time. Twenty minutes later I ran back out of the room in a nice new suit with my hair tied back in a pony tail. After I closed and locked the door I ran back down the hallway to the elevator and straight past the reception desk, not even stopping when I heard the person behind it call my name.

I was about to call a cab when I heard my name again and turned to see the manager of the hotel running towards me. I smiled when he was standing in front of me and said, "What is it that you want of little old me?"

"You have a message sir."

The manager handed me a message and after I opened it and read it I raised my hand and called the cab which stopped. As soon as I got into the cab I told the driver to get to the UN building and to hurry.

About ten minutes later I was in front of the UN Building and after I paid the cab driver I walked into the main building and wondered where I was about to go until I saw the sign for the audience deck and walked there.

As soon as I got there I saw a familiar person and walked over to where he stood, knowing that if anything was going to happen he would be the first person to see it. He looked around and smiled as soon as he saw Logan as he knew how much he hated wearing a suit.

Rogue

Rogue smiled over at Cat and then her eyes opened in surprise when Spiderman appeared. "Well now," She said, her smile growing,"Aint this just a day for famous people to be popping up. Or infamous I should say."

Turning to Electra, she said,"Your choice darlin'. As you can see you arent going to get any help and I dont think even you want to take us all on at once."

She sighed. She should be at the embassy right. Storm was going to be pissed at her, Wolverine was going to be pissed at her...hell, she was going to get an earful from everyone of them for skipping out. Oh well, she may as well have fun while she can.

"Your choice, darlin'," She said,"Easy or hard?"
 
Mystique

"Thats enough," Mystique finally spoke up,"We know when we need to back off." Walking away from Shadow Cat and over to Rogue. She faced the woman who, for a time, had been like a daughter to her.

"She is defeated," Mystique said, ignoring everyone else,"There is no point in taking this any further. I will take responsibility for her. We are late for Magneto's speech and now we all have our responsibilities."

Turning her gaze to Spiderman and then Shadow Cat, she said,"Let her go and she will give up her chase for the man. I dont know why she wanted him but it is not as important as what is about to happen at the UN....important to all of us."

She pulled her eyes back to Rogue and added,"You know I'm right."
 
I tern back to see whot wos keeping the girls and see mysteque talking to roge and that spider guy facing elckta as if he rely wonted to rip her aparte. I smile and call out hery up you we can play later. I think to my self I can't delv that I'm achily willingly wolking away from a good fite I shake my head in disbalf then I think of the fact that wolverin is at the ebily a evil smile cros is my lips at the thot.

Elektra. Storm.

(Sorry, it is spring break and I am out...um...havin fun...and I sort of haven't been home.)

Elektra:

I watched as the limber man began to run, his reflexes were acute. I laughed. I looked at the one they call Rogue. I didn't speak, I was assessing the situation. I have always completed my job. My job was to assasinate, no one but myself knew who.

The woman in front of me had mutant powers, I didn't, I knew I had taken mutants on before. My martial arts skills, as well as all my others, had never failed me.

I flashed a grin.

I heard Sabertooth. I kept eye contact with the woman, "Go on without me. I can handle myself. If I need help, I will call you."

I saw a man in a costume swoop between us. They looked smug, as if they knew that they would win.

"I thought I introduced myself."

"I'm Elektra. Hired assasin, martial arts expert, Apparently I haven't made my debut in America." My slight accent apparent.

"I find it kind of annoying that you feel as if you two can overtake me. "

Spining around quickly, I took the time to pull out the "chinese stars" or so the Americans called them, My hand in a fist, the stars between my fingers, I let them fly.


A set or six of the stars went flying, I sent a second set out too, One caught the girl on her uniform, one nicked the man on the face.

I took the time they were trying to asses to take the wide pronged dagger out from the small of my back. This gal carried heavy artilery in the form of metal.

The pronged dagger had wide spaced apart prongs. They were about 8 inches apart. I was glad I didn't leave it at home, crossing my hand over my shoulder, I pulled one of the Katanas out, the dagger in my other.

"I presume you are spiderman, I have heard of you." I winked.

Rogue tried to lay a punch, she was fast, For a moment I thought we were equally matched. I ducked and rolled.

Flipping back, I hit her square in the stomach with my feet. She stumbled only a bit, but just enough. She was against the wall. I saw her get angry.

Taking my large dagger (sais) I threw it in her direction. (sorry, but I am outnumbered, and according to her bio, she is THIS good.)

The sais' prongs were on either side of her neck. She was pinned. I grinned.

I faced Spiderman. "But why would you wanna hurt an innocent girl like me?" I said in a sweet voice.

Reaching my other hand crosswise over my shoulder I pulled out the other Katana. With one massive katana in each hand, I swung them. The brilliant flashes of the titanium steel whizzed throught hte air.

I felt brilliant. I felt full of Karma.

(alright now, you can't hurt a gal's rep. So remember, she is extremely skilled in martial arts and gymnastics.)

Storm:

I laughed lovingly when Wolverine took my arm. His comment about not waiting for us, well...it made me blush. We began to walk into the conference hall. "Is that cologne I smell Logan?" I smiled wryly.

I could feel his arm tensing, his fist opening and closing in anticipation. I put my other hand on his bicep. "Calm logan. We will get our rewards with patience."

My eyes flashed white. I too was ready. I saw a few people staring. At us.

I looked calmly at logan. I wished I had mental powers.

The people were standing by a window. They were whispering, I had to take their attention off of me. QUietly I whispered, "snow fall upon the earth. " It began to snow. The people began to OOOOOOOO and AHHHHh at the snow.

I smiled at Logan. Tightening my grip on his arm, We found a seat. Right in front.
 
Bullseye:

From out of nowhere a rain of common constuction quality nails showered down on Rogue and spidey... Every single nail that was directed at Rogue sunk into her flesh, Spidey, with his blasted sence dodged a fair amount of the nails ment for him but a hand full did strike home... From the direction they had been assaulted there stood a man in black spandex. He jumped down into the fray.
 
At the first sign of trouble, I 'phased'. Going invisible was always handy. Seeing as Rogue was pinned, I walked over to her staying 'phased' I tried pulling the sais, but it wouldnt give. Grumbling to myself, I took hold of Rogues hand and concentrated. Smiling I watched as Rogue too became invisible, and was 'phasing' with me. Now completely 'phased' she could pass through the sais and was invisible.
I made the mistake of letting Rogues hand go, just before a shower of nails fell down onto us. Grabbing Rogues hand quickly, but not quickly enough. She had many nails embedded in her flesh. But as she 'phased' they fell out one by one.
Letting the rest of the nails fall through us, I walked on air heading for Spider Man. Reaching down to his shoulder I grabbed him. He 'phased' along with Rogue and I.
Quickly running up the side of the building, to the roof, I let out a call to see who was in the area, and who could help out.
 
Rouge

Damn! That hurt! And now Rogue was pissed. Blood welled where the sais and nails had hit and, it not for her invincibility, she could have been fatally injured.

Thanks to Shadow Cat she was out of that situation and ready to fight. Turning to Cat, she said,"Get Wolverine and see if Gambit is in the area. We need fire power and we need it fast. I dont know who this guy is but he is gonna pay big!"

With that said, Rogue flew with lightening speed and struck a punch to his stomache, driving him into the wall. Immediately after he slammed into the wall, she flew up out of reach and hovered above the two.

"So I guess that answers my question. You want to do it the hard way," A smile graced her face as she said,"Fine, than let the games begin."
 
Mystique

Seeing that Electra was determined to seek her own destruction, Mystique left and hurried after Sabertooth. Catching up to him, she said,"We are late. We need to get to the embassy immediately and find Toad. I cant think of the mischief he is getting into being there alone."
 
I just shruged wen elkta sed she wosn't coming and cept on wolking. I herd the fiting back ther incres and whith a efert of will power I didn't tern to join in. I know that magneto wood probibly need my help at the ebily and I also new that wovrin would most likely be ther to.

I wolk out of an aly next to the ebily in time to see wolverin and the rest of the X men git out of a limo. I smile evily and sed well well whot do we hav hear. I see login clows cum out at the site of me. I shake my head sadly and sed not yet my frend the time isn't rite and I wouldn't whot you to go to jail befor I git chans at you so I think you should put thos over grone buter nives away befor the cops deside to put you in to cufs. I look up and down storms body and say I see that your as butilful as ever I wink at her and tern to the doors heding to the room wher magneto is wating.
 
( I sure hope that man you had hurt wasn't me, otherwise this post isn't going to make much sense)
Spiderman wondered exactly how he had gotten on the roof, but it was no matter. He still had a fight to do, and it wasn't like him to step out of a fight.
He jumped down, letting the air rush past him, and his new wound on his cheek. He pulled out his hands close to the ground and let the wall catch him. He wasn't a wall crawler for nothig, you realize.
There she was, Electra was it? Oh well, assasin was the thing that stuck out with him, and assasin meant death to some poor chap who didn't deserve it.
Did he just say chap?
Spiderman shook his head.
He did a nice backflip down, and quickly let his webbing out. She was a good martial artist, extremely practiced, but with sticky ropes at your hands and feet, it's hard to do much of anything karate-ish.
Spiderman made sure she had a good dosage of the stuff. He was more up to defensive ninja moves, and would probably not last very long with her alone. Yet, if she wasn't able to move, it would certainly be hard to kill him.
Spiderman walked up to her, watching her struggle. He smiled slightly.
People were starting to gather, in another few minutes they would certainly see Spiderman tying up this innocent girl. Ok, so she wasn't innocent, but that's not what Jameson will tell everyone tonight in the evening news.
Spiderman's eyes burned into her own.
"We will meet again," he said, glancing at the upcoming crowd. He gave her a simple kiss and jumped back onto the wall. He was out of sight.
Spiderman went back to the roof to see what all the fuss was about.
 
OOC: And it hurt like a son of a bitch... Good thing I have an admantium spine... *Shruggin* Neale... I sent you an email... Want to know the verdict on it...
 
Prodigy in "The Final Hour"

As I prepped for our up coming mission against Magneto I was so nervous. I know the whole team has done this dance with Magneto too many times but I still could not comprehend how they could not be nervous. Here is Wolverine and Storm enjoying some kind of show and I am in the corner trying my best not to shit my pants here for cripes sake. Do they not realize we are going to try to take a man who enjoys freezing the blood in our god damn blood streams. To be honest I did not understand how I could have stoood and been so smug earlier. It seems like I was so much of a fool. Here I was flirting with Shadowcat just a few hours ago and now I stand possibly a few more scant hours from my possible doom.

I changed out of the suit they were having me try on and back into my baggy X uniform and began to focus my telekenesis like Jean Grey taught me. As I concentrated and channels it inward I began to feel myself leave the ground and begin to levitate forward. It had taken me damn near two months to get this trick down pat and my powers were still very new to me, but I had faith in what I was doing. Opening a window I began to shoot through the air using my TK to help me fly.

As I looked out over the city underneath me, I felt lucky after all how many got my gifts and even more directly how many people got the change to enjoy the beauty of New York City from this view. I mean even though I am a native New Yorker, there is no way possible that I could get used the majestic sights, sounds and skylines.

I flew over to the Statue of Liberty and looked around. Good thing it was morning and only the early tourist were here when I got here, but since I am here I might as well take a seat and relax since the team really does not need me right now. While I began to lay back and relax on top of the metallic torch I tried to comprehend the magnitute of facing Magneto could be like.
 
Elektra

There was only one person who terrified me, and that was Bullseye. It was a long and complicated story, but my 'rebirth' wasn't just metaphorical. He had slit my throat and pierced me on my own sais. He left me for dead. In fact, I was. Someone saved me.

I hated him. I got angry.

Then the spider freak decided to use his webbing.

I mumbled to him, "Your pain is greatened now that you have chosen to fight. I will see you again. "


I struggled against the sticky webbing. It felt like cotton candy, soaked in water. I was angry. My hand was pinned at my side, along with a small dagger. I clenched onto a b it of the webbing and rubbed in small strokes to cut into it. I watched as the others disappeared. I would not be had by these damned half-humans. Magneto wouldn't need me until later anyways. My mission, kill the two that they call the leaders. The ones that take charge. Then kill the rest. WOlverine and Storm were on my hit list. Then, when this was all over. I would get Magneto. But , shhhhh that is my little secret.

I got through the webbing, I and Bullseye were all alone. I saw him, and I felt the pain throbbing were the three tiny scars lined along my stomach.

"Well, well, seems as if I can't get rid of you." He said to me.

I sneered. PUlling the giant sais from the wall. I placed it back onto the holder at the small of my back, I replaced the two Katanas. At my wrist was a magnet, specially designed for my death stars. I clicked on the button and they were retrieved.

I hated him, I wanted to kill him, but why was I so afraid?
 
Cable

I moved down the stairs i was climbing. the voice got louder. I could tell where Psy was. Today was not starting out right.

After a little over an hour i reached the basement. I could hear him yelling agian. I spoted Psy and moved closer.

"Hey Psy"

she looked back at me and smiled. the next thing i knew i was kicked in the back of head and landed hard.

Psy spun around but it didn't help her, Toad slamed his legs into her and sent her flying.

I jumped up and drew my guns out "That was a mistake"
I pulled the triggers and let'em fly. The little mother fucker dodged or jumped out of the way of each of my guns.

"Damn you, you little fuck"

I droped my guns and drew my next best thing, I slamed him with a TK blast, sending flying into a wall. by this time Psy was up.

The Room just got hotter.

Tag, Psy or Toad.
 
The everlovin' blue eyed Thing

I gulp my usual breakfast, which was enough to feed a small army, "Hey guys, I need to go grab a few cigars I will meet you at the UN Building." (or the Embasy, which ever one) I pull on my trench coat and head out, walking to the nearby (conveniently located) convenience store. As I walk in, the store owner quickly grabs my cigars and hands them to me. I hand him $10, "Have a good day, and keep the change.".

Taking the scenic route, I hear a call for help come from the roof tops. "What can I do to help you?" I ask the familiar looking woman looking down at me.
 
OOC: re: Bullseye's question

Looks like it was handled just fine in character. The story is progressing nicely, so Battle On! [oops, sorry, wrong thread. Got to get the Xena stuff out of my head...]

Seriously, though, we don't have to be totally locked in to the 'reality' of the characters. I'd like everyone (including me) to give everyone else a little slack in their posts. Granted, according to the comic versions of these characters, some unlikely things have happened. Still, I think the main thing is that we have fun! Thank you all, *hugz*
 
His cheek hurt like a son of a bitch. He wondered if she had put something on those chinese stars, poison perhaps. He wasn't too worried though, a spider's dna was equipped to handle poison and just about anything else dangerous to him. It would take something able to kill a horse to knock him out. Or so he thought.
Still, it kept hurting. Peter looked at it in the mirror, maybe it was his pride that had been hurt most of all. He had let a woman get the better of him, not something to happen lightly. And why couldn't he get her out of his mind.
Peter stuffed the Spiderman mask into his duffelbag, it wasn't that good of a kiss anyways.
He zipped it up and took out his press badge. The meeting would start soon, and he would have to get plenty of pictures. He was already riding on thin ice with Jameson, maybe this would be just what he needed to get things straightened out again.
He went up to the first balcony and set up his equipment. If everything went according to plan he might be out of here by noon. Somehow, though, he didn't think things would go according to plan.
Peter sighed and rubbed the small wound on his cheek. It had to be his ego, physical wounds didn't hurt this badly.
 
Bullseye:

"So... Whats say you and I go have a little chat with Kingpin... Oh... Or would you rather I kill you again? Maybe this time you will have the decency to stay dead?" Bullseye mocked Electra.
 
Elektra

I cringed.

"I will take the liberty of ripping out your heart and presenting it to Kingpin." I said, my voice growling.

"why do you think he chose me, I am more skilled, more powerful, you can't match me. You caught me in a weak moment." I said, my defiance growing stronger.

"This time, you won't get a chance to kill me. I don't make mistakes twice."

I saw the passion of battle in his eyes.

"fine, you want to kill me? DO IT. This time, DO IT RIGHT." I screamed at him.
 
Bullseye:

"No, Electra... Your gonna take me to Kingpin... Then... Perhaps I will kill you... We will see..." Bullseye said with a wicked smile.
 
Psylocke

"Now I'm pissed."

A low throaty growl forms deep in my throat as I pull myself back to my feet. My fingers curl into a tight fist and a look of determination sets upon my face as I turn to face Cable and the now incapacitated Toad. A dark red glow begins to form on the back of my fist, extending slowly til it resembles a rather keen, smoothly edged knife - an all too familiar extension of myself, my psionic powers. My psychic blade has flared to life.

"Lucky that you're down already, amphibian." I mutter under my breath as I step over his limp body. Cable's TK blast had proven quite effective.

"Freeze! Stand where you are!"

I almost pity the guard that is advancing towards me. The lust for battle is on although, and I am ripe with the urge to loose it. There is the blur of my body as I quickly dodge down into a near squatting position. The sweep of a smoothly muscled leg brings him down easily and his gun clattering loudly across the floor. A knee to the chest holds him there and the plunge of my psychic knife through his skull will keep him there. He is not dead - I will not take life unless I deem it absolutely necessary. He will lie there unconcious for a long while and burden me no longer during what little time I expect to spend here.

I hear the pound of footsteps traveling down the stairs that lead down to where we are. The voices are excited and male. More guards by the sound of it. I shift a glance to Cable.

"This dance is yours. I'm going to make my way further down. The signal seems to be gathering strength deeper within the building."

I slip into the shadows and quickly make my way down the next flight of stairs. Cautiously easing forth out of the staircase, sticking to the shadows as much as possible, I find myself in a room dominated by a large metal door. My hand curls around the knob and I turn it slowly, testing to see if it is unlocked. Locked. I shouldn't be surprised. My gaze lights on the electronic control panel next to the door. Hmmmm, the locking mechanisim apparently.

The corner of my mouth lips in a sly smile as I unsheath my katana. I was never one for delicate matters. I grip the blade in my hand and bring it down in a vicious slice. The panel falls from the wall in a flurry of sparks and hisses, not to mention the audible click of the lock releasing. Blade in hand, I press my shoulder against the door and it glides open on smoothly oiled hindges. What greets me on the other side shocks me to my core and for a brief moment, I can do naught but stare.

UN General Assembly chamber

The assembly chamber was packed with delegates and other people. Most everyone looked a bit nervous, as the time for Magneto's address neared. Security here was very tight, dark dressed men and women with dark glasses lined the walls.

The Xmen, with special passes obtained for them by Professor Xavier, had no trouble getting past security, although Wolverine did have to show his medical card to get past the metal detectors. Spiderman, as Peter Parker, had merely to show his press pass to obtain entry. The most attention, however, was given to the famous members of the Fantastic Four, The Thing, The Invisible Woman, and She-Hulk. Several reporters came up to them to ask questions, but were rebuffed by Ben Grimm.

Soon, everyone was settled into place, and the Secretary General came onto the stage area.
Ladies and Gentleman, delegates and guests from all the world's nations, I present to you the President of Genosha, Magneto.

There was no applause, save from a few of the smaller, radical nations' delegates. Magneto strode out to the lectern, and looked out over the audience, his aura of power and charisma showing clearly that this was a man to be reckoned with.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary General. I am Magneto. I have come before you today as the chosen leader of a nation composed of the outcast mutants from each of your nations.


OOC: go ahead and post your actions and reactions to the beginning of Magneto's speech, as well as anything going on in other areas. Invisible Woman, SheHulk, are you still with us? Iron Man? Thing, I'm not sure what you were trying to do with the call from the rooftop, so if you didn't want to make it to this meeting, I'll edit that part. Evil mutants, you have been called back to the embassy. You will be meeting up with the good guys on their way back out.
