The Defenders Renewed (Group Thread Open To All)

"even if they are which I doubt" John said shaking his head and taking a measured sip "they want us enslaved I have heard it to"

"However we have no ideas what these chemicals did to us at least not internally" John said pointing at his chest and then waving his hand "If they are or are not isnt the matter shes dangerous a dangerous fanatic I am sure you know just how dangerous those can be"

if you insist... He looked up at her. Obviously he wasn't going to try to kill her, maybe just grab onto her? That shouldn't be so hard, right? Her wingspan was huge after all.

Jordan looked up, spotting a ledge about a hundred feet above her. He snapped, then twisted his body as he fell down towards her, spreading. His arms and legs wide to slow his fall. It had little effect, and he let out a shout as he rapidly plummeted down towards her back. That shirt must have been enough to give him away however, and she deftly flicked her wings, taking herself just out if his trajectory, and leaving nothing but empty air between him and the ground.

"AHH!" He shouted, before snapping his fingers and carrying himself to another ledge, closer to the ground. He clutched his chest, heart pounding. No more heights, okay. Maybe he could just go straight to her? He turned around and found her flying again, just watchin him. Her body bouncing as her wings flapped to hold her aloft, he trained his eyes on her slim body and snapped, scrambling for purchase as he appeared next to her and began falling. He wound up clinging to one shapely leg, holding on for dear life, but on his target.

His first attempt was easy to dodge. All Avery needed was the sound of his cry to know where he was and how he was approaching her. She swerved out of his path and watched as he clicked again, saving himself from the drop. That was good, he was quick enough to avoid splattering to the ground.

The next jump he made had him appear right before her, his arms flailing out to cling onto her leg. With a laugh and a grunt she flapped her wings harder, feeling his weight dragging her down. Humans weren't made to fly, and with her enhancements she was lucky enough to be able to hold her self aloft. She allowed them to drop until his feet were a meter off the ground and she gave a big kick of her legs, letting out a loud screech with it. The frequency she delivered to him should be enough to jolt his system into letting go, but not enough to hurt him. Though, admittedly, it had been a while since she had used her voice in such a manner.

Either way, when he dropped she went up higher this time, flapping until she reached a ledge that was six meters off the ground and keeping her eyes trained on him. She really hoped she hadn't hurt him...

"What's one psychopath in the face of an alien invasion?" Veronica said bitterly. "But I suppose that comes later. What can you tell me about Russia?"

When Jordan fell, he let out another shriek, unsure of how high he was. Luckily he landed on his back a few feet lower, only to lie there and watch as she soared higher again, his head spinning from her short concussive blast. He sat there, staring at her for a moment, before an idea formulated in his head, he couldn't hold her exactly, but maybe if he could just touch her... He stood up again, looking stubbornly up at her as he aimed his next shot.

*Snap*

He ported to her ledge, and swiftly grabbed an ankle before snapping again, this time not aiming to find a handhold as much as get contact. His next snap brought them both down to the ground, him on top of her legs, and he quickly scrambled to get purchase on her upper back as she squirmed facedown on the ground, unable to twist her head to screech at him again.

"What's one psychopath in the face of an alien invasion?" Veronica said bitterly. "But I suppose that comes later. What can you tell me about Russia?"

"If there is even an alien invasion" John said his tone expressing disbelief "what happened to her and I was a freak accident a UFO crash if there are more coming the last thing we want is their favorite little earthling out and about to wreak havoc"

"As for Russia its A more jumpier than it was during the cold war" John said handing her a datapad "Even so I have been trying to track the syndicate as best I can I have reason to believe Jane is there she might even have the current ministers ear though that cant be confirmed I have identified a number of targets that might or might not need to be killed but espionage in Russia isnt easy at the moment"

"Taking out one target shouldn't be that hard. Multiple targets, well that makes things harder." Veronica said thoughtfully. "Would Jane be susceptible to a shot to the head if she wasn't suspecting it? If I could get a clean shot at her, I could end things before they begin."

 

[silvertongue217]

"No caliber of bullet can break through our skin" John said shaking his head "trust me the test done on us were extensive before this all went down the only one who can hurt her or at least do any type of damage is me though the said can be said for her" He said wincing and rubbing at the back of her head.

"Multiple targets will come later for now I just want to get in and figure out what the hell is going on sure Russia has always looked for an excuse to pick a fight with us but why the syndicate is trying to light the fuse is beyond me" He said coming over and sitting on the desk across from her.

This guy is learning fast, Avery thought as he appeared in front of her. Instead of grabbing her he merely touched, using his power to teleport with her and throw her off balance. He scrambled onto her back, holding her down. She was able to shift her wings out of his way so that he didn't damage them, but he had a good grip on her.

She flapped her wings then, the strength propelling her off the ground for a moment, providing a bit of resistance against him before she let out another concussive blast.

"Soundwaves bounce, hun," She laughed, tucking her wings into her back and trying to roll out from under him.

"Gathering intelligence won't be the problem. Knowing where to gather it from and what exactly to gather will be." Veronica said thoughtfully. "But back to you and Jane. You two must have a weakness of some sort. Magic rocks? Fire? A silver bullet? I refuse to believe you two are invulnerable. Something must be able to harm her." Veronica said.

Jordan pressed his eyes shut as the reflected blast of sound caught him, causing his mind to scramble. His hands instinctively gripped her tightly, so when she began to roll, he simply rolled with her, unable to focus on anything except for the noise bouncing in his head, and holding on for dear life as this winged hero bucked and rolled, twisting to get him off.

An idea came to him then, she wasn't the only one who could disorient! He looked up again, and without hesitating, began snapping rapidly, sending the pair to every corner of the room, only giving a moment of rest before focusing on a new point and bringing the flailing partners there.

"If there is it hasn't been found yet" john said shaking his head "don't get !e wrong get punished hard enough it'll hurt I once jumped out of a plan a feet up and !y leg was broken but it takes a tremendous ammount of force"

"Also our powers both work ten fold on each other" john said "we cancel out each others defenses her telekentics my super strength"

Avery was impressed that Jordan kept his grip as she rolled. She was about to send an elbow into his chest when she heard him click and the world went spinning. Again and again he took her with him, making her stomach roil and her head spin. All over the arena they went, but he held her tight.

He had the upper hand now, clinging tight. Instead of trying to fight it she went loose, a dead weight, and then opened her mouth. As soon as his next teleport connected she let out a loud screech. This time she aimed to hurt rather than disorient. Usually when she used this particular frequency people would be reaching for their ears and cowering in pain. If he let go other she would jump back and up, onto the balls of her feet.

"So hypothetically, if she was hit with enough force, she could be killed. Like a nuclear detonation for example?" Veronica asked thoughtfully. "Perhaps something less. A missile of substantial size could work." She said, still deep in thought. "Do you have access to that type of hardware? If we could get our hands on a powerful enough missile, we could set a trap for her. Lure her to an area that would cause minimal collateral damage." Veronica explained.

If he let go other she would jump back and up, onto the balls of her feet.

Just as Jordan felt he was gaining the upper hand on the situation, Avery let loose a painful bout of sound, and he instinctively pulled away from the pain, separating himself from her body and falling, letting her jump away from him again. He lay writhing on the ground, clutching his head. It felt as though someone had just hit him in the head with a baseball bat, the pain spreading quickly through to stop him from doing anything else.

In hindsight, it was foolish of him to think that he could defeat Avery. After all, she had saved the world, and all he could do was snap. But as he lay on the ground panting, all he could do was laugh. This was fantastic! He was competing with the Siren! On a moon base! A month ago, Jordan was sick and running, living essentially as a homeless man with powers. He only stopped laughing to moan in pain every few seconds, twisting on his back looking up at Avery. He didn't even notice the toll that his rapid teleportation had taken on him, as the tattered remains of his shirt had fallen off a long time ago, and his pants were hanging on for dear life, shredded down to almost nothing, revealing more than most comic book superhero outfits did in their tight spandex.

"It might stun her but it would never kill her and the stunning is a big IF" John said shaking his head "The last time we fought I hit her with enough force to level a clearing about fifty yards before that we had already tore through and collapsed the base we were at which was made and built with some of the strongest materials known to men im not saying its impossible im saying it has been my experience that these things are rarely that easy"

"There was a lot of testing done at the complex" John said shifting his weight "testing to help us and protect them from us however the beszt thing they could come up with after all those test was that we were the best hope of taking out the other that is why I do not fall prey to the mental illness that she so clearly suffers from because im needed to kill her"

"If you run into her or when we run into her I shall take her down"

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"I hope you can..." Veronica said thoughtfully.

Meanwhile in the armory...

"Are my guns done yet? I wanna go kill something! Max complained as she watched Gregory work. "C'mon! Hurry the fuck up! Let's go let's go let's go!" Max said, pacing back and forth behind Gregory.

JOHN POV

"You and me both" John said sighing before shaking his head "but thats enough of that Jane is far away and the syndicate is to big for us to just focus on her" He said with a wave of his hand. He reached back grabbing the datapad that made up his intel on Russia and handed it to her.

"The intel on Russia" John said handing her the datapad "its got every thing I know about the current operations and points of interest I doubt this terror thing will take very long so we should be joining you with in the week"

GREGORY POV

"Chanting like that is not going to make this happen any fucking faster" Gregory said shaking his head and turning to her.

"Now your shotgun" He said tossing it to her "EIGHT rounds I also got you exploding ammo and a better grip though the spread is wider and the range is shit" Gregory said getting up and slinging on his backpack.

"I can work on the rest of your gear in the car" Gregory said pushing past her "you ready to kill some shit?"

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"I'll look this over. In the meantime is there anything else you would like to discuss? If not, I think I'll go see how Spark and Avery's training session is coming along." Victoria said, tucking the data pad under her arm.

<^><*><^><*><^>

"Mama likes!" Max said happily, looking over the improved weapon. Instead of extending the barrels, he added a type of revolver mechanism that loaded the gun after every shot. It was still a sawed off double barrel shotgun, but now she wouldn't have to reload it as often. "You sure do know your shit! And I love it when you talk dirty! Let's go kill something!" Max said excitedly, placing the gun into the loop on her back, and giving Gregory and affectionate punch to the arm. She grabbed an AK-47 from the wall before she and Gregory left the armory. "So how do we get there? Spaceship? Or some kind of tractor-beam?" Max asked.

 

[silvertongue217]

JOHN POV

"No thats all" John said nodding at the door "we can go together I wanted to see how the guys doing as well"

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

"the same way you got here" Gregory said beginning to relax as he walked with her down to the hanger.

"we have a few cars that can do a little trick its not the most ideal though until we find a pilot" Gregory said showing her into the hangar and a row of cars of various make and models.

"Spiders" Gregory said turning to them "Load up"

They beeped and scattered moving to a beat up looking truck and climbing into the bed. Gregor was bringing five along in total.

"Come on lets go get this over with" Gregory said grabbing a pair of keys "you want to drive or shall I?"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

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?"

 

[Aliceinchains36]

"Unless I'm getting road head, you're driving." Max hopping into the passenger seat. She checked her weapons as Gregory loaded up his gear and then got into the truck. "You dodged the question earlier. You ever killed anyone before? 'Cuz if you haven't, I can handle shit solo." Max said as she adjusted the site of her newly acquired assault rifle.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

Veronica followed John out of his office and down the hall. "How many people did you have before? This base is clearly designed to house a large group of people." Veronica said as the walked.

 

[silvertongue217]

He rose an eyebrow starting the engiine and trying to figure out how she would have gotten road head.......

"I'll have you know I spent my teenage years alone and living on the street" Gregory said pulling out "trust me I have killed any one and I owe the synidcate some payback any ways" He said driving to the beginning of the ramp. He gunned the engine racing down the ramp until they were almost on the edge.......

BAM

They screeched to a halt the car slightly smoking and on fire. South america rose to greet them, they were parked on a deserted stretch of road.

"Hang on" he said reaching over turning her face to his. He pulled out a contact lens tray and got one out.

"Stand still" He said his lips inches from her looking into her eyes as he put the contact in "IRIS lens will let you talk to me see me and I can tag enemies for you"

 

[silvertongue217]

Veronica followed John out of his office and down the hall. "How many people did you have before? This base is clearly designed to house a large group of people." Veronica said as the walked.

"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.

 

[Aliceinchains36]

Max's fist slammed into Gregory's face, almost of its own accord. She hissed and popped her neck in discomfort, moving as far away from his as she could in the confines of the truck. "Shit man! You can just go grabbing people's faces!" Max growled in a higher voice than normal. She opened the car door and quickly climbed out, not once turning her back to Gregory as she did so. She fell to the ground, and quickly crawled backwards until her back was to a wall, her gaze not once leaving Gregory.
