Rodgers<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>14:20-14:40, May 19th 2016<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Quinjet to Avengers Tower<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Combat Armor (Costume)<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Alpha Team<br/><strong>Warnings:</strong>None<br/><hr/><br/>Steve did smirk a bit at the formal greeting by Sam as he came on-board of the Quinjet.   Before he could say anything though, Simon came on board next and broke the ice as only he could.  Steve was of two minds on Simon.  After all it had not been in the too recent past that Simon had raised a team, the so called Revengers, against the Avengers.  At the same time, before all of that Simon had been a long standing member of the Avengers, charter member of the West Coast branch when there was one based out California.  When it came down to it, Steve Rogers was a man that believed in second chances, and was more than willing to give Simon such a chance, as a man and as an Avenger.<br/><br/>At Sam's words, Steve gave a smile, and perhaps a small chuckle as he clapped Sam on the back as he walked by and moved towards the front of the Quinjet.<strong>"More than likely there, son.  If he does however, you have my full permission to go all Sigiel and Ebert on all of his latest movies and he will have to listen to each critique of yours."</strong>As Steve walked deeper into the jet, he looked over his shoulder.<strong>"I would word your criticisms with care though.  We are talking a man that can give Ben Grimm a run for his money in how much he can bench press."</strong><br/><br/>Steve then turned to Wanda as he took the co-pilot seat.<strong>"You are primary pilot on this operation Wanda.  It will allow us to mark that off on your re-qualification for the Quinjet.   Wheels up."</strong>Steve then looked over his shoulder again towards Sam.<strong>"When we are fifty miles out, I want you to deploy Sam.  It might confuse them hearing the two of us come in hot and divide up their forces.  They likely will focus on the Quinjet, especially if you huge the skyline as we come high and obvious.  They know the Quinjet and what it represents.  Despite the press coverage and media attention of the new team, it does not mean that they know about your abilities.  You can knock them over and allow us to deploy.   Simon when we are over the target, you will deploy first and follow up Sam's first strike.  That will allow Wanda to touch down."</strong><br/><br/>Steve started to work on the computer and pulled up the files of Bushmaster, Push Adler, and Rattler up for the team to look at.<strong>"Tony did shut the Tower down, but that does not mean the enemy does not think there is still technology there they can loot or steal.  In the past the Serpent Society has been strictly mercenary, and despite how campy their whole "snake" motif is, they normally are not stupid.  At least their leadership is not when they plan and pull an operation.  Their members are canny, ruthless with no regard for innocent bystanders, and have outstanding teamwork.  They have operated with one another for years and likely know each other better than anyone else, and as such can be a considerable threat when three or more are teeing off against you."  </strong><br/><br/>Steve made a gesture to the files hovering for everyone to see.  A copy of what was being displayed was also being projected for Wanda on her heads up display.<strong>"These three are among their biggest guns, so it only makes sense they would come after us with them.  The only other one that would make this a hard and heavy fight would be the operative that claimed the code name Death Adler.  Whoever he or she is, if they have the abilities like the previous one, then engage with extreme caution.  Sam, I would hit Puff Adler first.  He can size change, and if these guys are coming against us, then they might have something to boost their powers.  Simon, Bushmaster is yours if he is still up.  I would avoid Rattler.  His ability to generate sonic waves may have an unknown effect upon your energy makeup."</strong><br/><br/>Steve then brought up some other members of the Society, to include a sore point for him, Rachel Leighton, code named Diamondback, a former...romantic...acquaintance of Steve's.<strong>"Anaconda, Asp, Black Mamba, and Diamondback may also be among operatives we encounter.   Not quite as heavy hitters as the ones I mentioned, but they have operated among one another the most, even went into work with one another outside of the Society, and do not underestimated."</strong><br/><br/>Steve then pulled up what would be bullet point summaries of the mission objectives.<strong>"We hit them hard and stop the incursion to our home turf.  Then we provide cover for any civilian workers or guards that are present on the facility that have not been evacuated.  Once we have our beach head and the bystanders are out of the way, we hit back even harder.  If necessary we will pull from Team Bravo.   I think that we can handle this.  Any questions?   If so ask fast, we are five minutes from drop zone for Sam."
