				<div align="center">(http://data.hdwallpapers.im/rainy_futuristic_city.jpg)</div><br>The Sentinel war started in the year 2027 and lasted to 2052.&nbsp; During the course of the war, a state of martial law was declared.&nbsp; Congress was disbanded and any opposition to the Sentinel's was quashed by the Sentinels themselves.&nbsp; SHIELD was decimated and relegated to nothing more than a small insurgent group by 2030.&nbsp; The Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and other organized enhanced human groups were either killed or locked away in concentration camps by 2035.&nbsp; The next five years the Sentinels made steps to solidify their control over North America and eradicate the enhanced being threat.&nbsp; Their next step was not only to launch operations against Europe and South America, but to breech the dimensional barrier to assault Asgard and Olympus.&nbsp; This was foiled by a enhanced being group named the Redeemers. <br><br>Working with what remained of SHIELD, and an underground resistance group of human military forces calling themselves the North America Liberation Army, the Redeemers and the mutant underground fought a long and protracted war against the Sentinels, forcing them to abandon expansion operations and to fight the threat that managed to rise up again in North America.&nbsp; It lasted ten years, but finally ended when the last Sentinel production facility was destroyed in the Adirondack Mountains and their command center in the ruins of New York City were destroyed.&nbsp; The operation cost the lives of the Redeemers and the Mutant Underground, and three quarters of the NLA, but the most disastrous and crippling saga in human history since the Holocaust of World War Two was over.<br><br>It is now fifty years later, and still the world is rebuilding.&nbsp; From the ashes was formed the North America Union, a government that had been in place for the last forty years.&nbsp; The last five years had seen the restoration of the United Nations, though it now resided in Geneva, Switzerland instead of the what was the United States.&nbsp; Still it was a positive step towards global diplomatic efforts being restored and the specter of war being put into the past.&nbsp; Much like the American Civil war did over two centuries before, the Sentinel War opened the eyes of the world to war and how the extinction was no longer a theoretical exercise, but that the world was perhaps a heartbeat away from it being a reality if not for the sacrifice of people that the world tried to commit genocide against.<br><br>Many thought however that enhanced beings causing civil unrest or worse was a thing of the past.&nbsp; Humanity however can be a singular and selfish race with a short memory and only interested in its self interest.&nbsp; Once more enhance being using their abilities as a threat against society was happening, and the law enforcement of the time was unable to handle it.&nbsp; The world needed a response.&nbsp; It needed heroes.<br><br>It needs the Avengers...<br><br>This is their story.&nbsp; Avengers Assemble!<br><br><div align="center">(http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Marvel-Avengers-NOW-Female-Thor-Black-Captain-Americajpg.jpg)</div><br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=200 padding=2]Pic[/img][/floatleft]<br>[b]Character Name:[/b]<br>[b]Alias:[/b]<br>[b]Time/Date:[/b]<br>[b]Location:[/b]<br>[b]Tagging:[/b] <br>[b]Mentioned:[/b]<br>[b]NSFW Warning:[/b]<br></code></pre>

The ruins now served as a no man's land, a place of last refuge for people that had less than nothing, who did not fit into the future of the North American Union.&nbsp; The government wanted nothing to do with ruins.&nbsp; The ruins were the past, dead and buried.&nbsp; New motives, new power plays and political objectives were the path forward.&nbsp; Now more than ever people with money, power, and influence, mega corporations that only cared about their initiatives, profits, the bottom line dominated.&nbsp; Those that could not get in line had no where else to go but the ruins, and society swept them out of the way.<br><br>It was short-sighted and naive.&nbsp; New York was far from dead.&nbsp; It was a husk, a corpse, but a corpse that still held secrets, that still had treasure buried and hidden away under the rubble.&nbsp; Humanity saviors at the time, the legends as they are now called, the Fantastic Four, the Sorcerer Supreme, the old SHIELD, the Avengers, they did not trust that their greatest secrets, their technology, the relics that humanity, and perhaps more importantly at the time, the Sentinels, could not be trusted with.&nbsp; Those secrets, those forbidden relics and treasures were still there and buried, warded away to keep humanity safe.&nbsp; It was to humanity's detriment that there were people that knew about those secrets now, that the ruins of New York were a treasure trove waiting to be raided, and they were determined to take it.<br><br>That was what happened to one of the settlements in the ruins.&nbsp; They were near an old power station, using it to power the homesteads they had built around it.&nbsp; It was after midnight, the generators mostly quiet and turned off to conserve resources.&nbsp; Near everyone was asleep after yet another hard day of scavenging and working, just like any other night of their lives, or so they thought.&nbsp; The explosions happened first, right in the middle of the settlement, taking out two ramshackle home steads.&nbsp; A total of six families had lived in those rickety things that went up in flames, charred ash, and melted and scorched metal in less than three heart beats.&nbsp; That drew out everyone else from the small settlement.&nbsp; Men, women, children rushing outside, trying to make sense and order of pure chaos.&nbsp; That was when the area lights came on, blinding everyone.<br><br>That was when the shooting started.<br><br>It lasted only a few short seconds.&nbsp; All in all it was over in less than fourteen minutes, fourteen minutes to kill and eliminate twenty-seven people.&nbsp; All was going according to his plan.&nbsp; Less than two minutes the air ship touched down, and ramps slammed hard into cracked concrete and asphalt.&nbsp; Boots then crunched down on ground, carrying portable equipment.&nbsp; Behind it was the shadow of the man behind it, moving slowly and surveying about.&nbsp; It did not take him long for the portable HUD inside his helmet to tell him what he needed to know.&nbsp; He pointed with an arm that ended in wicked claw, blades that look like they could cut through muscle and bone like so much meat.&nbsp; <strong><em>"There, the connections are there.&nbsp; Hurry."</em></strong><br><br>The men did as commanded, a few taking up guard, the other working.&nbsp; They connected technology where directed, and in under a half hour, they were finished.&nbsp; It started slowly, feebly, but across what used to be Manhattan, lighting that somehow survived the war started to flicker to life, infrastructure in place that was not destroyed by the Sentinels so they could use it for their own means back in the past.&nbsp; It now served a different purpose now, as the circuits and power cables long dormant under what used to be Stark Tower came to life.&nbsp; Deep down in the substructure of the building, servers and computer still miraculously intact after all of this time thrummed with power and life.<br><br><strong><em>"Operating system on line.<br>Main power restored.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Attempting connection, accessing....<br>Connection established, accessing...<br>Time date established.&nbsp; Current date, the sixth of April.&nbsp; The year, two thousand, one hundred and six.&nbsp; Last known operation, the seventeenth of November, the year two thousand and fifty-seven.<br>Downloading historical data...<br>Downloading...<br>Downloading...<br>Founding Avengers members, deceased.<br>Reserve Avengers members, deceased.<br>Triggers for fail safe protocol activated, activating Avengers Next initiative.<br>Searching...<br>Avengers must live on.&nbsp; Avengers...Assemble."</em></strong> <br><br>With that, signal went out from what used to be Stark Tower, a signal that went out to search for parameters and indicators.&nbsp; From what used to be North Port power station, the man smiled underneath his helmet.&nbsp; The boss was correct, and despite having worked with him for the last three years, that the Boss could predict events with such clarity amazed him.&nbsp; &nbsp;The man turned and started to head back to the airship.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Contact.&nbsp; Bravo and Delta teams, establish base camp.&nbsp; Alpha and Echo are with me.&nbsp; Time to raid the piggy bank..."</em></strong><br><br>In the distance, in the ruins of Manhattan, upon what used to be Stark Tower, a shimmer, a flicker every now and then through the shattered "A" on the side of the building.&nbsp; A beacon of hope, or the herald of destruction?

				<strong>Character Name</strong>: Kaia Thordottir http://beauty-around.com/images/sampledata/SWEDEN_Women/14.Elsa-Hosk.jpg<br><strong>Alias</strong>: None<br><strong>Time/Date</strong>:&nbsp; 0120 6 Apr 2102<br><strong>Location</strong>: Downtown Manhattan, former site of Avengers Mansion to Stark Tower<br><strong>Tagging</strong>: Whoever shows up at the tower<br><strong>Mentioned</strong>: Heimdall, Amora<br><strong>NSFW Warning</strong>: None<br><br>The skies over downtown Manhattan were clear in the darkness of late night/early morning that blanketed the East Coast. The stars were out, visible here. Once New York City had glowed with enough light to obscure the stars. Now they could be seen. They were the lights that illuminated the "wonderland" that was Scav-Mart. Some years ago, a&nbsp; scavver had come to the ruins of NYC, seeking fortune. Or at the least shelter from an uncaring North American Union and it's corporate and government masters. Dale Kincaid, ex-corporate drone framed for an industrial-espionage rap he hadn't committed (damn Ginger and her conniving ways!), had come here. Fired, broke, and with nothing to lose, he'd come to Manhattan with his last remaining money and sunk himself into the gutters of the ruins. There were other scavvers of course. In the early years he'd only cared enough to scavenge what he had to for drink to drown his sorrows. But time passed. He got over his bitterness and heartache. And he got tired of paying the local bosses for "protection". So he dusted off his corporate management skills and organized what he called a "union". Some might call it a gang. They'd fought the local bosses and they'd won. Dale looked at the ruins and organized it into the glorious Scav-Mart, based out of a crumbling mansion he'd discovered. A central place for scavvers from all over the NY ruins to come swap goodies, tales, brews, drugs, and whatever else. Part shantytown, part red-light district, part black market, Scav-Mart was all things to all people. And the scary folks with the salvaged guns and Sentinel hand-blasters were on hand to keep it safe. Win-win. Scav-Mart was busy at all hours of the day or night, with one business or another. <br><br>So there were people about as the lights in the city flickered back on for the first time since the War. People had come out of the bars, roused themselves from the brothels, and looked up from cheating each other at shady deals to see what was going on. People were already buzzing about what it could mean. Was there some gang of techies fiddling with the old power grids? Some new gang making a statement? Or, hell, what if the government or some corporation had gotten off its ass to retake the ruins? The Boss himself came down from the mansion, clothes rumpled and his latest working girls of the night at his side in flimsy lingerie (redhead twins, his favorite!). What concerned Scav-Mart concerned Dale. So he and his consorts were on hand with a bunch of others as a rainbow struck down right in the front courtyard.&nbsp; <br><br>And what they saw was a wonder.<br><br>A girl-no a <em>woman</em>, running <em>on</em> the rainbow. She was tall, taller than most of those watching. That was obvious at first glance. She had flowing honey-blonde hair, unbound and blowing behind her in the sudden icy wind that had kicked up from nowhere. She was slender but very obviously curvaceous. Her clothes made no secret of that. Most men present (and quite a few women) felt their loins stir at the sight of her. She was clad in a black corset that laced up the back, with a lacy blue low-cut top that cupped and offered her bounteous breasts to the onlookers. A very short black skirt lined with golden rings hugged her waist and upper thighs, and blue leggings snaked up long legs, inscribed with a serpentine runic pattern in black. Knee-high black boots with tall heels completed her ensemble, inscribed with golden rings. So enchanted were the onlookers that they didn't even notice, at first, the double-headed battleaxe the woman carried, dripping blood onto the rainbow and then the ground as she stepped off of it and onto the broken concrete.<br><br>Her voice was sweet as honey, her tone crystal clear as she shouted <strong>"I say thee nay Heimdall! I'll not be your prisoner!"</strong> Bright blue eyes the color of the sky flashed in defiance. She raised the axe and slashed at the air above the rainbow. An arc of purple energy tore from the axe and into the sky. She slashed again and again until the rainbow faltered, flickered, then died. She panted, and only now in the light of the trash fires could one see a bead of sweat at her brow. Everyone was still for a moment, then the woman straightened and looked around curiously. "Did I make it? Be this Midgard?"<br><br>Dale plastered his best cocky grin on his face and stepped forward into the ring of light. "This be Scav-Mart my lovely miss. And I'm it's Boss. Boss Kincaid." He gave her a very thorough once-over. "Now, we like to say around here that Scav-Mart's open for any business, any time. Just ask anyone, there's no business, no trade, and no fetish that we don't cater to within our walls. You got an itch we got someone to scratch it. For the right price. Thing is, even here at Scav-Mart we have a few rules see? Not many, but a couple'a big ones." He grasped his crotch at that and there was some nervous chuckling in response to the Boss's call-and-response. "One is that you do what I say when I say. And two is that nobody's allowed weapons around here, 'less they work for me of course. And three is that pretty women like you get a <em>personal</em> interview with the Boss Man, that's me, to uh, assess your skill-set, let's say. Now, uh, <em>clearly</em> you're not from around these parts. So I'm going to forgive your little faux-pas with having that pigsticker there inside the walls. Matter of fact, you put that thing down and come with me. We'll get you sorted out. Find you a spot in our little Scav-Mart family, ain't that right people?!" There were a few cheers and catcalls at that.<br><br>The blonde woman looked around in confusion. Scav-Mart was no realm she knew of. It wasn't even the name of one of the Nine Realms. Where had the Bifrost taken her?! She'd meant to go to Midgard, but she had no idea how the Bifrost worked. What if, in injuring it's Guardian she had changed her destination? Had Heimdall spited her somehow? Or worse, what if her mother had done it? She had no reason to believe her mother couldn't affect the Bifrost. Her magic was unequalled in the realms. The panic that had her heart pumping since she first stepped foot in Asgard still gripped her. She could hear a voice in her mind, a voice that sounded so much like her own: <em>"You know Heimdall won't stop. He's sent you to this realm of his lackeys. Kill them. Kill them all and be gone before the Guardian reopens the Bifrost and finds you!"</em> Her hand clenched on the Bloodaxe's haft and she felt a hand fall on hers.<br><br>"You heard the Boss, lady. Drop it. Now." The woman was several inches shorter than her and her grip might have been considered firm for a mortal. The tone, the threat in her voice...Kaia felt years of conditioned reflexes kick in. "You won't take me!" Her hand twisted and her foot lashed out, striking the woman in the pelvis. The force of her kick shattered the imposing woman's spine like she was made of glass. There was a pause of shock and a collective gasp. Then a guard pulled out a blaster. "Bitch you're going to pay for that!" He fired, a lance of plasma that should have scorched her to atoms. Kaia felt it like a tickling warmth and turned her wild gaze towards the man as he fell back in shock. The voice demanded that she kill. Kill all these monsters in human skin. She squeezed her eyes tight. <em>No. No. I...no...must get away. Must...</em> "Stay away from me!" She released a blast of concussive force from her entire body, blasting away the guards, the onlookers, and the so-called Boss. The concrete shattered beneath her feet. The walls of the mansion creaked and cracked, then began to crumble in on themselves. The flaming trash cans scattered in every direction, sparking fires in some of the buildings. She soared into the night sky, letting out a scream as she took to the air. <br><br>She looked over the ruined city spread out before her. It reminded her of the ruins of Asgard, before she'd had to leave. Lights were flickering across it, and every so often a giant letter A flickered and glowed in her vision. What was it? Was she back in Asgard? But the Bifrost should have taken her somewhere else? Maybe it was a sign. A place she could be safe from her persuers. She took a steadying breath and started flying towards the glowing A, Bloodaxe in hand. If it was sanctuary it was welcome. If not, then the daughter of Thor had an answer for it to hand!

I just...I don't know where..."<br><br>"She's probably just running late. I'll go check up on her, don't worry."<br><br>"Oh thank you, Mikey! Thank you!"<br><br>Mikey nodded as he turned and moved off down the tunnel. The sewers weren't the best place to be right now but at least the tunnel to the old station was clear. The few refugees that huddled down there were like a little family, and they'd always accepted Mikey without question. Even if they found him a bit odd at times.<br><br>Mikey turned a corner, and if anyone besides the rats had been there to see they'd have seen Mikey blur as his clothing seemed to melt, and then he was just gone. Even if his voice still lingered.<br><br>"Yes, we know she should&nbsp; have been back by now. Jessica is usually very prompt. Yes, we should go look for her."<br><br>Shifting just slightly, Venom moved along the ceiling and vanished through one of the manholes a distance away from the refuge. Sniffing the air a moment, Venom leaped o a nearby building and swung out into the night toward Scav-Mart. "Jessica may need help with the trading. Or she may just need our assistance."<br><br>Swinging in, Venom blended in with the background and moved in. Dale strode through the place, smiling to himself. Hackles rose and Venom slipped past, in the past they'd always found that when Dale was grinning that meant that someone else was having a bad day. Moving around to the back venom's eyes widened as he saw one of the burly guards slap someone in shadow, and the shadow made a familiar yip of pain.<br><br>Fangs sharpening in his anger, Venom leaped to the side of the building. An arm shot out and lifted the man from the ground. Slowly the color faded in, a solid black arm that ended in wickedly sharp claws flowing up to the massive black muscular body. The thug swallowed convulsively as the head filled in. Soulless white spotches of eyes narrowed at him while a maw of razor sharp fangs emerged, along with the flexing red tongue.<br><br>"We believe you owe our friend an apology," Venom growled. "We hope she accepts it, otherwise we have no choice but to see what your brains taste like. A light snack would be fun."<br><br>Jessica stood up, a bit shaky. "I'm ok, Venom. Really. You don't have to eat him."<br><br>Venom looked over at her, his hand squeezing hard enough that the thug thought his head would crack. "Time to go home, Jessie. Your mother is worried. Do you have everything?"<br><br>Jessica nodded, picking up the bag that had fallen. Venom snaked a tendril down the thug and pulled his wallet out. "Take this too, Jessie. This one feels bad that he treated you so roughly and this is his apology. Isn't it?" he growled, shaking the thug's head in a positive gesture.<br><br>As Jessica took it and ran off toward the lair entry Venom pulled the thug around, putting his face next to the thug's. "There. Now we're all friends. So as your friend, we're going to give you some friendly advice."&nbsp; The eyes narrowed and the tongue lashed. "This place isn't healthy for you. Bad things can happen if you stay." He walked off, carrying the thug toward the ruined buildings. "If we were you, we would seek out work away from here. <i>Far</i> away from here where you won't run into things like..." he pulled the thug around again and stared into his eyes, "<b><i>US</i></b>. Do we make ourselves understood?"<br><br>The thug nodded quickly. As Venom put him down a shockwave hit the store, reducing it mainly to rubble. Venom looked back, then to the thug. "Seems like it is your lucky day."<br><br>Venom turned as the thug ran off into the night. From the ruins a figure launched into the air, screaming.<br><br>"Interesting. No, we don't know what this was about but let us go look and see."<br><br>Venom crouched to leap and heard the high pitched screech in the distance. Venom sighed, turning slightly. "We know she means well, but those sounds make us uncomfortable. Well, let us see what she wants."<br><br>The blinking A in the distance caught his attention, but duty before blinkies. Venom leaped up, spraying out a tendril and swinging his way up and around toward where Astrid was calling.

				Character Name: Moon Knight<br>Time/Date: 0030 EDT 6 April 2102<br>Location: Downtown Manhattan<br>Tagging: Anyone<br>Mentioned: <br>NSFW Warning: None<br><br>Moon Knight crouched on a ruined building. His costume, the updated one, could color-adapt to his surroundings, and it was a dark grey at the moment. He blended in to wreckage and rubble quite well. Something was afoot, and the inner voice he could almost hear was directing him here. Fate was guiding something, twisting events. He wasn't sure what was going to happen, but something was. And he was supposed to be part of it. <br><br>There was no shortage of work to be done in the ruins and rubble. There never was. He leapt and glided down with his cape, landing deftly on the back of a man who had been holding a blaster up, running some sort of arms market. Whatever was needed to make this a better place, more weapons in the hands of such as these wasn't it. Even as the seller crumpled under him, Moon Knight was moving. He threw a handful of crescent darts, wounding several of the crowd. He rolled to his feet and reached to the back of his belt, under his cloak. <br><br>The combat staff snapped open to its full length. He moved through the crowd, dropping anyone foolish enough to stand and fight. In a few short moments, it was over. He collected the weapons from the defeated thugs. His automated airship responded to the recall signal and he climbed up. He'd study the weapons, adapt ones that were useful,&nbsp; and destroy or store the rest. <br><br>Sensors lit up, and he frowned beneath his mask. There was a lot of activity here tonight. He dropped the weapons into a secure storage cabinet, locked it, and headed towards the action. Multiple superhuman contacts were on his screen. Was this the next big fight or a new gathering of some kind? He would find out. It was his mission now. Khonshu would guide him. <br><br>(http://img12.deviantart.net/cf10/i/2013/148/0/a/moon_knight_by_marcelomueller-d66zrv6.jpg)<br>

The ruined city below her spread out, mostly dark. Here and there were lights. The flickering lights she had noticed. Fires in metal barrels that wafted foul smoke to the night skies. She paid no heed to any of that. She could see people from time to time but she had no way of knowing if they were spies for Heimdall or merely inhabitants of this strange land called Scav-Mart. <em>Who's to say they're not one in the same thing? You should kill them all. Be safer that way.</em> She grit her teeth against the voice. No matter how reasonable and pleasant it sounded, she couldn't offer slaughter to those who hadn't raised arms against her. No matter what Skurge said about "preemptive strikes". Those lessons had been many and painful, but had never set well with her, even when she had progressed to ambushing her teacher.<br><br>Soon enough she found the tower with the blinking A. It looked as deserted and run-down as any other part of this city. Just as she was about to descend and see what it held for her, she heard a strange humming in the air. She spun around and was confronted with the oddest sight. A...metal bird of some sort. And yet it flew! Marvelous! <em>Could be a spy. Kill it just to be sure.</em> She thought hard at the voice until it shut up, then raised her free hand in greeting.<br><br>"Hail metal bird! I am a stranger in this land of Scav-Mart. Be you friend or be you foe?"

				<div class="floatleft">(http://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mockingbird-featured.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Karen Cross<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Daredevil<br><strong>Time/Date:</strong> 0120, 6 Apr 2102<br><strong>Location:</strong> Ruins of New York, Manhattan <br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Anyone<br><strong>Mentioned:</strong> Biforst, Stark Tower<br><strong>NSFW Warning:</strong> None<br><hr><br>Karen did not know the motivation as to why she felt compelled to go on patrol tonight in what she has now labeled the "Daredevil" armor.&nbsp; Perhaps it was another fruitless and frustrating day at SHIELD.&nbsp; Karen would not really label herself as an adrenaline jockey or an action junkie.&nbsp; She knew that for most of law enforcement across the Union would love to have the day that she had were the most dangerous thing encountered was breaking up a group of peaceful protestors that had not filed the proper permits and needed to be dispersed.&nbsp; What they were protesting?&nbsp; Hammer Technologies latest personal computer and all the flaws it had with it.&nbsp; It was something not even important.&nbsp; It was not lack of basic amenities and public utilities for its citizens, no it was a protest about how the latest piece of social technology was a piece of crap (it was, but that was Hammer Tech).&nbsp; Still, when Karen knew there were crimes and worse being committed outside of New Haven, beyond where SHIELD considered its jurisdiction, it was difficult for Karen to feel anything positive about her job, or SHIELD itself.<br><br>The only satisfaction Karen seemed to be getting for herself of late was when she was out and about patrolling the ruins of New York.&nbsp; Karen wanted to believe that she was making a difference out there.&nbsp; At times she tried to tell herself that she was acting much in the same way her namesake did back in the golden age of humanity (that was what Karen called it despite the propaganda of Hammer Tech and other big companies), before the rise of the Sentinels, swinging and running from rooftop to rooftop, correcting the wrongs with his fists and clubs that he could not right as a lawyer by day.&nbsp; Karen often wondered if he had times of critical self reflection as she was doing at this moment, looking out at the ruins of what was one of the world's greatest cities, that for all of her dedication and effort, in the end she amounted no more than a reed in the wind, a pebble in the way of a river, doing nothing much at all to change the river's course at all.&nbsp; She might help a family or four on any given night, but that was all it was, a night of respite.&nbsp; The very next day, it was the same bleak grind that they had to face day in and day out.<br><br>Karen was interrupted from her thoughts by the flickering of light happening all about her.&nbsp; It was like nothing she had ever seen before.&nbsp; Lights and other items long without power suddenly coming to life, some of the items after decades of not being used.&nbsp; It was a damn odd thing that put Karen's hackles on edge.&nbsp; She spoke softly, barely a whisper, letting the sensor she had at her neck feel the vibrations made by her vocal cords and translating those into command that her armors operating system understand and process.&nbsp; To be honest, that was perhaps the most difficult piece of the whole suit, making that interface work so it would not require some manual input on her part.&nbsp; Even in an area were all sound was dampened, the sensor was sensitive to still feel the vibrations happening inside her larynx.&nbsp; A piece if genius if she did say so herself.&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><em>"Daredevil..."</em></strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;With that word, the enhanced forensic and sensor suite of her armor activated, and Karen looked about once more to see everything happening in the ruins in a new and unique light.<br><br>The range on the entire forensic and sensor package was only a hundred yards, but it was enough to let Karen know that power that once has been long dormant was activated once more.&nbsp; &nbsp;She moved and looked about in awe, and then cursed softly, once more having second thoughts about not putting in an interface to her station back at work and at home where she had access to information and databases.&nbsp; It was a risk for if SHIELD ever started to deploy agents and resources against her, they could use it against her, use it to figure out just who exactly the person calling themselves Daredevil was, but at times like this when she needed information, such as which golden age power station serviced the greater Manhattan area, it would help cut down on the time and getting her to where she needed to be rather than wasting time to get to a spot where she would be able to do her research.<br><br>The next things that Karen noticed as odd and out of place were out of place happened roughly about in the same location several blocks to the north of her current position.&nbsp; First was a flash of color in the night sky, like a lance of it coming from the heavens themselves, and the other was the flickering and coming to life of the old Stark Tower.&nbsp; &nbsp;Say what people wanted of Tony Stark, when he built something he built it to last.&nbsp; Stark Tower still stood despite repeated attacks against the Tower during the Sentinel War.&nbsp; In fact history recorded that the only reason why the tower was abandoned was because the Avengers did not want to be responsible for civilians caught in the crossfire.&nbsp; The Sentinels, while programs to protect humanity, were not so considerate, not when their cold logic factored that the death of the Avengers would far out weight the death of a few humans.&nbsp; The end came when a labor camp full off humans identified as carriers of the "X-Factor" gene was relocated to the base of the Tower.&nbsp; Those humans, forbidden to marry or have children, were acceptable casualties in the eyes of the Sentinels and the government at the time.&nbsp; <br><br>Karen again gave her head a small shake, and whispered softly again.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Murdock, Taskmaster."</em></strong>&nbsp; With those commands, she deactivated the sensor suite, and activated the battle computer that aided her in combat.&nbsp; Now was not the time to think of ancient history.&nbsp; There was something happening near Stark Towers and that could not mean anything good.&nbsp; &nbsp;In fact that location was where one of the biggest weapon suppliers in the ruins was around that location, and the last thing Karen wanted as for them to think that there was anything left at Stark Tower to loot.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>So Karen took out her billyclub, and like the Daredevil of old, the grappling line securing to the ruins of the building beside her.&nbsp; With a running jump, Karen leaped out into the air, the line going taut and basic physics going to work as it swung her out in a wide arc, building momentum.&nbsp; At a touch of her thumb, the grapple retracted and in mid-air, Karen repeated the process, launching the grapple again and swinging away towards another building, eating the distance away towards her goal of Stark Tower.&nbsp; It was time for Daredevil to go to work.<br>

At first he thought it was a dream, then perhaps it was the start of a hangover, but that could not be the case.&nbsp; He made certain to take the booster that would prevent the scotch from dehydrating him and causing a hangover in the first place.&nbsp; Slowly, Daniel came to consciousness, and as he did he felt the enticing curves of a nude female actress pressed against his body at the time.&nbsp; For a moment Daniel thought the beeping was from Sheena's communication device, but no, the beeping was too localized.&nbsp; He grimaced slightly, as he could not answer the hail without possibly waking Sheena.&nbsp; Normally Daniel would not be against that, and the way his dick was twitching and stirring, it would not either.&nbsp; However, that would not make the call go away, and it was not stopping.<br><br>So it was with care that Daniel moved her sleeping nude form off of his body.&nbsp; She stirred slightly, and give a soft moan that sent a sexual thrill through him, but he clamped down on it and tried not to be distracted by it, or the feel of her hard nipples as they raked over his muscular chest, or by the view of her as he put Sheena on her back and the silk sheet slipped off of her body and exposed her well rounded tits.&nbsp; Daniel shook his head and muttered under his breast softly that it had best be damned important call to get him out of bed.&nbsp; Daniel slipped slowly out of bed, for Sheena as sighing again and moving her body, spreading her legs and rolling on her side, her body undulating as if caught in some sexual dream and she could not stop her body movements.&nbsp; Daniel could do nothing but stare for more than a few moments.&nbsp; Oh yes, this had better be damned important.<br><br><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Sheena</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img06.deviantart.net/7be0/i/2015/213/f/3/katya_by_art0fck-d93oq1e.jpg)</div></div></div><br>Daniel had a deceptively light step for a such a muscular form.&nbsp; It would had been an impressive sight for Sheena should she had been awake.&nbsp; Still, she had enjoyed it well enough no more than a couple of hours before, and might again if this call was taken care of quickly.&nbsp; Daniel grabbed a robe that was hanging from a clothes rack and slipped it on.&nbsp; Next came slippers for as tough as Daniel was, he could not really stand the feel of cold metal against his feet.&nbsp; Then with as much silence and stealth he displayed in extracting himself from the lovely form of Sheena without waking her, Daniel exited his room and once he was outside in the corridor, he touched his finger to a spot outside of his right ear along his jawline and spoke, doing his best to keep irritation from his voice.&nbsp; <strong>"This had best be important, Athena."</strong> <br><br>Inside the communications implant next to Daniel's ear, a voice that sounded like a posh young woman with a richly sexual British voice that at the moment sounded slightly miffed by his response.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Of course it is important, Sir, I would never interrupt your sexual congress otherwise, you know this.&nbsp; There is something happening in the ruins of New York, something extremely out of the ordinary and thus why I contacted you.&nbsp; Something has restored primary power to Manhattan island, and also whoever did that had been busy restoring much of the primary power grid, even more than you had been doing.&nbsp; Stark Tower seems to be connected to power grid, and is on-line again.&nbsp; Automated reconnaissance in the area however report an attack of some sort at Scav-mart.&nbsp; Lastly, I had received some form of coded transmission from the tower itself.&nbsp; I cannot open it, all I can gather from it is "Avengers Next" protocol.&nbsp; So I determined at of such significance to interrupt you, Sir." </em></strong><br><br>Everything that Athena said was like a sucker punch to Daniel's gut.&nbsp; He stopped dead still in the corridor, needing to put a hand to the wall to steady himself.&nbsp; As far as Daniel knew, he was the only person that had any interest in restoring services to the ruins, though Daniel was not merely focused on the electrical infrastructure, but also water and sanitation as well.&nbsp; Progress was slow for Daniel was still beholden to the shareholders of Argent, and they allowed Daniel his little side projects only so long as profits did not dip.&nbsp; Not only was someone else out there, but they had restored enough of the grid to get Stark Tower back online...it was both shocking and frightening at once.&nbsp; Someone was out there with an agenda he did not know had some form of design for a link in his past.&nbsp; In Daniel's experience, that never was good.<br><br>The second thing in Athena's statement that rocked him to his core was the mention of the Avengers.&nbsp; Daniel had no idea what "Avenger's Next" meant.&nbsp; There had not been any Avengers in over seventy-five years.&nbsp; The last known one that was alive was James Rhodes.&nbsp; Too old and injured to be active, James had relocated along with Stark Industries to Calgary.&nbsp; When the mutant resistance group named the Redeemers had made a name for themselves when they rescued the mutant resistance leader Lorelei from public execution.&nbsp; James made his way through the underground back to the front lines to meet them in person, carrying the helmet to the AS-1A Mark Sixty armor.&nbsp; James did not survive the trip back to Start Industries, killed by mutant hounds sent to destroy the Redeemers.&nbsp; His efforts though allowed the Redeemers not only to recover the Mark Sixty, but also the design plans for it.&nbsp; With it the NLA and SHIELD were able to produce it on a limited scale, allowing the NLA and the Redeemers the fighting chance they needed to win the war.&nbsp; The last Avenger, James Rhodes, another piece of Daniel's past.<br><br>Now it seemed the past was reaching forward and bitch slapping Daniel around.&nbsp; Whatever was happening, he could not ignore it.&nbsp; The logical place was to start with this attack at Scav-Mart and then work his way to the Tower.&nbsp; Scav-Mart was near the base of the tower, and if anyone was making a move towards the tower, it only made sense to secure a perimeter about it so they had time undisturbed to do what they wanted in the tower.&nbsp; Daniel did not know why they restored power to it.&nbsp; As far as Daniel knew, there was nothing left there, everything relocated to Hydro-Island which had been relocated to Atlantian waters with their blessing to get it out of United States waters and to provide a check against the Sentinels.&nbsp; Someone thought something was there, as Daniel suspected that they did not spend a small fortune and taking the risks to run restoration work to the power grid merely to turn on a few lights.<br><br>Daniel pushed himself back from the wall, and moved towards the elevator.&nbsp; Once there he put his eye to the bio-metric scanner, as well as placed his finger in the DNA reader.&nbsp; Both accepted him and Daniel felt light headed as they elevator went speeding along its new course to his private lab.&nbsp; As he did so, Daniel touched his communication device again.&nbsp; <strong>"Athena keep working on that file you were sent, and prepare the air speeder.&nbsp; Also thank you, this indeed was working interrupting me for.&nbsp; I shall be in the hanger in five minutes.</strong>&nbsp; As soon as he finished, the doors to the elevator open.&nbsp; Sheena was gone from his mind.&nbsp; Athena would handle her if she woke.&nbsp; Daniel had something far more important.&nbsp; Daniel just did not know at the time how critical this moment was.&nbsp; <br><br>Daniel moved with sure steps, discarding the robe and the slippers as he did, and placed his palm on a door.&nbsp; The cabinet he touched opened, and as he did there was a slight dry fog from the difference in the temperature between the internal environmental systems of the storage cabinet.&nbsp; Daniel stared at the set of armor he created before him, so unlike the Iron Man armors that Tony Stark created, and in the end help put an end to the War.&nbsp; Daniel was not trying to put an end to the war, but he was a growing symbol to the people in the ruins none the less.&nbsp; Shield was once more about to operate in the ruins, a champion of the people, even if they did not know it.&nbsp; It did not take long for Daniel to put on the suit, less than the five minutes and he was in the elevator once more, to the personal hanger that he had attached to his residence.&nbsp; Less than a minute later he was taking a speed and heading as fast as he could without triggering New Haven's anti-air defenses towards the ruins, towards the large "A" that was visible even from New Haven, a beacon to the descendant of the man that built the monument in the first place.<br><br><div align="center">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fe/28/b2/fe28b2428bba1131a0d7dc7275f37762.jpg)</div>

In time, the guidance he was receiving would come clear. For now, he would to what he believed he should. In this case, look into the tower and keep an eye on the woman. “I have had many names. Here I am known as Moon Knight.” With his glove controls, he set the ship to hover, evade, and defend. He prepared to glide down to the tower, and waited for the woman’s response.

Being a servant of Khonshu came with a host of responsibilities, obligations, but some occasional perks, if you wanted to call it that.

As such everything in New Haven as far as transportation went was automated and controlled, and programed for efficiency.&nbsp; None of that existed in the ruins, and given the scope of devastation and damage, Karen could not see how it ever could.<br><br>Karen stopped just one ruined building shy of the remains of Stark Tower.&nbsp; This was as close to it as Karen every had been to the structure itself.&nbsp; It was remarkable to Karen how intact the building was after near ninety years and the war.&nbsp; Even the Sentinels realized its potential and when the Avengers had left the facility and did their best to absorb it into their infrastructure.&nbsp; It had been dead since the war.&nbsp; Like everything else in New York City no one wanted to do anything about it.&nbsp; It was too deep into the ruins, and the cost projections to even reclaim just a fraction of the ruins were staggering, at least the figures released to the public, and those were the only figures Karen had seen.<br><br>It was a place of note tonight as Karen touched down and whispered the trigger phrase for the Daredevil armor.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Daredevil"</em></strong> Karen then sat back and let the information flow in.&nbsp; Two airships, one about fifty meters in front of her and about twenty meters up.&nbsp; One individual on the wing of the airship.&nbsp; Airship of a unique and undetermined configuration.&nbsp; Individual was human, but on the fringe if that.&nbsp; Muscle mass and cardiac rhythm were far above the normal for a man of his sizes and weight.&nbsp; Bone density was barely outside the normal.&nbsp; All of that data pulled together meant that the man on the wing likely had enhanced strength.&nbsp; Enough to lift beyond a ton, but perhaps not beyond that.&nbsp; Still, that was more than enough force to cause serious damage if this turned into a person that Karen had to engage in hand to hand contact.<br><br>The other person was far beyond the human normal standards.&nbsp; She was dangerous.&nbsp; Karen did not have have anything in her files to compare.&nbsp; Skin density was reading like one inch thick steel from the density of it, and that was to say nothing of the bone and muscle structure of the woman.&nbsp; Far off the charts to be even believable.&nbsp; At least if she had not been looking at the data herself she would not believe it.&nbsp; Hell she knew some morally grey corporations that would want to dissect the woman and patient whatever composed of her bone.&nbsp; It was a leap and bound beyond any material short of Vibranium or Adamantium.&nbsp; Oh, and the fact that she was flying gave Karen the big, obvious hint that the woman was not human, far from it.&nbsp; What Karen did not know was if she was a mutant, or something else.&nbsp; &nbsp;The weapon she had in her hand seemed to be something of significance.&nbsp; The energy from it registered on the low end frequency of the visual spectrum, even into the non-visible into the infra-red range, but that was it.&nbsp; Nothing else on Karen's sensor suite, and that was damned difficult.&nbsp; Until tonight she thought it was impossible.<br><br>Last thing of interest was another approaching air speeder.&nbsp; Again it was of a unique design.&nbsp; It was not approaching fast which meant that it had some tactical sensor package employed.&nbsp; It perhaps even knew that Karen was there, along with the other two.&nbsp; This was rapidly approaching a range of escalation that made Karen far from comfortable.&nbsp; While her battle computer was telling her that her offensive weapons could hurt the two people before it, Karen did not know if she could put them down, and it would only take a few hits from the man, and perhaps only one from the flying woman, to put Karen down.&nbsp; Karen did something that perhaps might have been a first on her part.&nbsp; Instead of going in fists swinging, she was about to try...diplomacy.&nbsp; God help them.<br><br>Karen again whispered a command phrase.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Banshee, two-hundred percent."</em></strong>&nbsp; The command increased the audio output of her voice amplifier, enough so she hoped she could be heard.&nbsp; With the wind about, and the sound of the engines from both air speeders, there were no guarantees.&nbsp; <strong>"I take it you are attracted and investigating the light show here, same as me.&nbsp; Perhaps some introductions are in order here?&nbsp; You might not have heard of me, but around here, people have called me Daredevil."</strong>&nbsp; Karen left it at that, and waited to see how her gamble was about to pay off.&nbsp; She was not entirely passive, and already the battle computer had picked out three different evasion routes if things went south on her.

It was a bit of old technology from the day, and it had a few of his enhancements with it so he was certain that at the very least SHIELD was not tracking him.&nbsp; Still, it mean that he could not engage at any type of speed without setting off or tripping warning sensors.&nbsp; Air currents of sixty miles per hour, even seventy were not logged as the world had gusts like that, especially at the altitudes that Mandrake Towers topped off at.&nbsp; More than that however would leave a trace, and that was not what Daniel wanted at the moment.&nbsp; No if something was going down at the old Stark Tower, then Daniel did not want anyone to know he was investigating.&nbsp; He did not need the attention from SHIELD or the government and them finding out about the work he had been doing in New York.&nbsp; Not all of it was on the up and up and he did not want to give the enemies he made in government any leverage against him.<br><br>As Daniel leveled off and set a course, he contacted Athena again.&nbsp; <strong>"Athena, has this made any news in New Haven or otherwise that we know of?"</strong>&nbsp; Athena quickly responded.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Not at the moment, but that is only the public communication channels that I have scanned.&nbsp; I can dig deeper if you wish me too."</em></strong>&nbsp; Daniel thought about that for a moment and then asked another question.&nbsp; <strong>"Any recent dispatches from SHIELD air bases?"</strong>&nbsp; Again the response back was quick.&nbsp; <strong><em>"None since the start of the incident."</em></strong>&nbsp; That was promising at least.&nbsp; Daniel brought up his sensor suite as he closed within the outer limits of New York City.&nbsp; <strong>"That is something.&nbsp; Continue monitoring on your part and let me know of any SHIELD or military response.&nbsp; Hack in for observation only.&nbsp; As far as public communication, bury it as much as you can without being noticed.&nbsp; I want as much time as I can get at the location without needing to look over my shoulder.".</strong>&nbsp; There was only a slight pause before Athena responded.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Confirmed, Sir."</em></strong><br><br>It was only another five minutes before Daniel reached the target area.&nbsp; He looked at the readouts but what he was seeing was defying believe.&nbsp; He double checked, then once more called out to Athena.&nbsp; <strong>"Athena, am I seeing what I think I am seeing here?"</strong>&nbsp; There was a far longer pause before Athena responded.&nbsp; <strong><em>"If you are referring to the floating woman sir, you are correct.&nbsp; She is Asgardian.&nbsp; The first encounter ever since Sentinel command severed the Bifrost connection during the war.&nbsp; Other than that, I have nothing useful to add.&nbsp; I am recording for further analysis.&nbsp; She is unlike anything on any database.&nbsp; For one thing, she seems to be floating in the air.&nbsp; While there were Asgardian that possessed the power flight, such as Thor Odinson, but his ability was going from point to point, he could not suspend himself in mid-flight."</em></strong>&nbsp; Daniel filed that away.&nbsp; This was nearly as huge as power being restore to parts of Manhattan and something happening deep inside Stark Tower.&nbsp; The two were not unconnected, Daniel was sure of it.&nbsp; Daniel gave a small shake of his head. and with his hands, focused in on the other two people before him.&nbsp; <strong>"And these two?"</strong><br><br><strong><em>"The man is unknown.&nbsp; Surveillance systems of Stark Tower are inoperative.&nbsp; Data of his bio metrics suggest enhance human, but would need a blood sample to determine if his enhancement is mutation or induced by some other means.&nbsp; Airship is a modified Dassault X-600.&nbsp; Military grade armor skin, but no weapons detected.&nbsp; Enhanced sensor and diagnostic package.</em></strong>&nbsp; The display now shifted to Daredevil. &nbsp;<strong><em>"The woman is wearing a sophisticated combat armor that perhaps rivals that that of yours, Sir.&nbsp; It does have counter measures from prevent me from more intelligence for you.&nbsp; The design of that matches reports of a vigilante calling herself "Daredevil", and my breakdown of those reports from what surveillance is available do not demonstrate any weapon systems as part of the combat armor.&nbsp; The individual is highly skilled hand to hand combatant sir, equal to you with a side by side comparison of the data I have on file.&nbsp; No known criminal acts registered other than her vigilantism." </em></strong><br><br>Just as Athena finished, Daniel heard this "Daredevil" speak.&nbsp; The way she turned her head not only included the two before the tower, but also Daniel as well.&nbsp; That was interesting.&nbsp; Whatever was in her armor was not second rate if she knew Daniel was there.&nbsp; Daniel could see why she was trying to reach out first.&nbsp; With an Asgardian on hand and no intelligence on her or her abilities, nor if she had friends about to appear at any moment, trying to establish contact was the right approach.&nbsp; Now was as good time as any for Daniel to introduce himself.&nbsp; It was a tactical risk, but last thing he wanted people thinking was he was hiding to hit them from behind.&nbsp; Friends first till people announced themselves as enemies.&nbsp; Daniel had faith enough in his armor and equipment if things turned out to be the former.&nbsp; Daniel selected a spot Stark Tower, and then pulled his arms in close.&nbsp; <strong>"Athena, deploy."</strong><br><br>In less than a second, Daniel was launched out of his air speeder, the stealth field coming down as he flipped himself through the air, and fell the thirty feet through the air to land on a flat surface of the Stark tower ruins.&nbsp; A sound like a small thunderbolt was heard and a small shock wave.&nbsp; Daniel landed in a crouch and straightened himself.&nbsp; He did not take any other gesture that could be considered threatening or aggressive.&nbsp; He held his hands out to the side and he also boosted up the audio output in an effort to be heard by everyone present.&nbsp; <strong>"I know I am here because of the light show, both light shows.&nbsp; Been well over seventy years since Bifrost was able to connect to Earth.&nbsp; Would love to hear how that was done.&nbsp; I also agree with the lady and introductions are in order while we are being all friendly like.&nbsp; People about here call me the Shield, and no, I have no affiliation with the organization.&nbsp; I am thinking about filing for copy right infringement.&nbsp; So she is Daredevil and the two of you are..." </strong>&nbsp; Daniel left that open in the air, waiting for a response, ready to activate the device that was his namesake if fireworks start.

"Never have I heard of a Daredevil. And who is this "Banshee" to whom you speak? You also have a voice that guides you?""<br><br>She turned towards where Venom and Astrid were. "Skulk not! Come out where you can be seen or I shall drive thee into the open! I'll not be ambushed this night! I sense you both! Asgardian, state your intention! Serve you Heimdall or the Enchantress?!" Her tone was stern and her voice carried over the ruins. "The strange beast cannot hide your presence from me." She raised the axe in a warning gesture. "Speak plain and offer no threat, and I will not attack."<br><br>The arrival of the armored man was loud caused Kaia to float backwards. There were so many strangers. If this turned into a fight she wanted her back to none of them. She reached out with her mind, calling to the elements of the air. She had learned to summon them, and learned painfully under her mother's tutelage. But she did not call forth a storm. Not yet. It seemed this building had drawn these people as it had drawn her. She wouldn't unleash her power until she was sure she was in danger, no matter what the voice urged. When the man spoke, her eyes shifted to him briefly before continuing to scan around her for potential threats. "I be Kaia Thordottir, rightful Princess of Asgard in exile!" <br><br>Her voice was strong and proud as she spoke those words. Even if they sounded hollow in her own ears. "The Bifrost has been sealed since the death of my father and the Asgard of Old. I battled the Guardian, Heimdall. His blood graces mine axe." She held it up for them to see. "In the confusion, the Bifrost was opened to this mysterious land of Scav-Mart. A land not within the Nine Realms. I know not where I am but I know this: the Guardian yet lives. So does mine mother the Enchantress. I came to this tower seeking sanctuary. If ye be not enemies, I have no quarrel with you. Play me false or betray me to my enemies and you will learn the extent of my power!"&nbsp; &nbsp;

The building has a long and dangerous history. <em>That</em> is why I am here."<br><br>He eyed the doorway. Alarms didn't trouble him- anyone that was likely to respond to one was already here, as far as he could tell. Security counter-measures were another matter. Moon Knight was the avatar of a god, but didn't claim to be one. Not at the moment. If children of Asgard wished to fight, he would stay out of their way. The sensors on his helicopter weren't designed to read for security systems. He could trigger the cannons to blow the doors to pieces, but that seemed more drastic than was required. He moved towards the door, keeping a wary eye on the others.

I came not to give battle but to find a haven where the Guardian, mine mother, and your father cannot harm or abuse me ever again." She shook the blood from it, lowered the axe and placed it in the loop of rings around her waist. Although she did catch two or three droplets in force bubbles. "If this tower be sanctuary then I will gladly claim it. If it be dangerous, then let it be destroyed. I do not seek a pointless battle." She looked at Shield and Daredevil. "Though I will defend myself if pushed."

As to this "Princess of Asgard" bit, Karen was willing to lump that with a grain of salt till she knew more.&nbsp; That this Kaia was an Asgardian helped Karan make sense of the readings she was getting off of her, and Karen hoped that she would be able to study them in earnest later.&nbsp; Kaia's question was an odd one, and had Karen tiling her head to the side.&nbsp; Karen did not see it being a huge tactical disadvantage, as after all it was not the audio that triggered the armor's commands, but the movement and vibrations in Karen's throat that did it.&nbsp; <strong>"Voice command my my audio gain so you can hear me.&nbsp; I did not come here with anyone, but none here are who I would call enemy."</strong>&nbsp; <br><br>Karen had heard of Shield of course.&nbsp; A man that made his look to evoke the image of Captain America was not a person that people did not talk about among the Ruins where Karen had her contacts.&nbsp; He was also following Karen's lead of not being a threat, which was good.&nbsp; It seemed like the activation about the power grid had drew everyone that was anyone in the Ruins.&nbsp; Karen still did not know who the man standing on his airship was, but he at least did not want to see this end up in a fight either, or if it did he wanted to stay out of it.&nbsp; His focus was squarely on the tower that Karen could tell, and he was right, something about power activation was unusual and Karen cannot help but think that the tower before them was the key.<br><br>Karen turned her head to look at the others.&nbsp; She had seen Venom before, even worked by his side two times.&nbsp; He was...odd.&nbsp; A bit of an extreme, but with the ruins being what they were, she could understand that.&nbsp; He had not killed anyone around Karen, and that was about as good as she could ask for.&nbsp; That and she had not tried to eat her.&nbsp; That too.&nbsp; <strong>"Hey there Venom, how is it hanging?&nbsp; The bright lights bring you here, or the flying girl with that wicked axe?"</strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;How the hell someone had noticed Venom in the first place shocked the hell out Karen.&nbsp; Not even Karen's sensor package had detected Venom.&nbsp; Never could unless he was like he was right now and wanted to be noticed.&nbsp; It had to be magic that let Kaia sense him, it was the only thing that made sense.<br><br>The fact that Venom did let himself be visible let Karen get a look at the woman that he had been concealing.&nbsp; Again the readings that Karen's armor was giving her told her right off the bat that she was not human.&nbsp; Almost identical bone density and composition to Kaia so if Karen had to make a wild guess she was Asgardian as well, especially with the names she was tossing about.&nbsp; Karen had never seen the woman before, but Venom would not protect just anyone, so she had to be a friend at least.&nbsp; Of course that meant she was capable of anything.&nbsp; &nbsp;So far it did not look like people were about to fight, but Karen was still edging on the side of caution.<br><br><strong>"Around fifteen minutes ago the old Manhattan started to work again.&nbsp; No idea where from as it was the Tower here that caught my attention.&nbsp; I could follow it back to the origin point, but something tells me whatever is about to go down is going to happen here.&nbsp; All infrastructure repairs seemed to be aimed towards getting main power back to the tower and not any other location here in the ruins.&nbsp; No clue how long someone was working on this.&nbsp; This is not a simple thing.&nbsp; Someone had to be spending weeks on this." </strong>

Part of him cataloged the woman's use of the axe, opening a rift in the air. Clearly, the axe had great power. He would search the records later, but there were only so many enchanted axes known, and when adding in the Asgardian link, there was probably only one answer. He had no objection per se to the other woman giving orders. They made sense, he had no better suggestion, he would agree. <br><br>He positioned himself by the still unopened door to the Tower. If it became necessary, he would open it himself. Not damaging it would have been preferred, but wasn't essential. He did a mental inventory of the weapons he had on him. If he had known ahead of time the kind of evening it was turning out to be, he would have come more heavily armed. He sent his ship behind another nearby building, still on stealth mode. He could send it to attack if need be, but he'd rather be piloting it himself in combat. The computers were good. He was better. He'd wait for his companions for another few moments, and then take matters into his own hands.

Perhaps because the weapon was properly his and not hers? Still, she felt the energies flow from it towards the weapons of these attackers. She ignored the rain of components and circuitry as the weapons shattered against the axe since she could barely feel the little pinpricks. What did get her attention was when Shield blocked a shot aimed for her head. She whirled in surprise, then heard his words and Daredevil's. Her eyes narrowed.<br><br>"Aye!" Her eyes sparked with rage. The voice in her mind howled for the blood of these impudent mortals. She wasn't inclined to resist this time. She felt her will gathering, like the clouds overhead. The winds picked up, sharply and suddenly. These vicious blackards had dared to slaughter those who were innocent! They had struck at her from shadows like cowards! Her eyes flashed, and the clouds rumbled above. The power of the storm was a living thing in her veins, an electric charge that suffused her entire being. It was always there, but it was often more muted. When she wasn't reaching out to it it remained coiled about her heart like a loyal pet. Now it woke. And it roared.<br><br>The first drops of rain fell. It was not a gentle rain, but a hard and driving one that splattered against the ground. She inhaled through her nose just as the first lightning bolt fell towards the hidden sniper's position. With a silent word of command, the storm broke. Thunder cracked and boomed in deafening peals. Lightning streaked from the sky and from her hand, lancing towards the hidden strike team. The rain came down in an torrential sheet, a monsoon summoned into the heart of the city. She exhaled and the winds were with her breath, unleashing a hurricane of howling, freezing air at her attackers. Hailstones the size of grapefruits began to fall, to crush her enemies beneath their immense weight. She was flying now, an avatar of the storm given form.<br><br><strong>"You attack the innocent and strike from shadows! Be illumined by the light of judgment, and then be gone! So says the Goddess of Thunder!"</strong> Her voice echoed in the thunderstorm. Her elemental rage was unleashed and it felt so damned good!

He hadn’t agreed on anyone being leader of this odd little band, but he wasn’t going to refuse a suggestion that made sense based on some obscure point of pride or protocol. He darted forward, staff whirling in one hand while he pressed hidden controls in his gauntlet with the other. <br><br>The airship moved into position, retrieval line deploying as the Fist of Khonshu dodged an attack from one of the armored enemies. He jammed the end of the staff up into the man’s armpit. That was usually a weak point in armor, and was probably less shielded. He stabbed a button on the staff, and electricity arced from the end of the weapon, the stun charge hopefully both by-passing the armor to get to the person beneath, and also possibly getting past the shielding to short out the mechanics. <br><br>Moon Knight jumped up, vaulting off the back of another armored foe to get more altitude as he grabbed the line. Swinging towards his designated target, he extended a hand. The part of him that was mostly dormant while wearing the vestments of Khonshu tried a few smart-ass comments, but none of them actually made it to being spoken aloud. “<em>Daredevil</em>,” he simply called, reaching for her to offer her a way out of the swirl of combatants.

A spray of webbing fired out and stuck him fast to a wall, upsidedown. "Stay here, or something unpleasant will happen to you.

It had nothing to do with keeping her close to him. He wasn’t sure how much her armor would stand up to, and it sounded like it was running low on power from what Shield said.

Moon Knight got them both up to the ship and opened the hatch.<br><br>The Knight walked to the controls, gesturing toward another console. “Gunner position if you have any skill at such things. Otherwise I can control it from here.” The Fist of Khonshu was in control, as he always was. He was a man on a mission.

From the build up of pure elemental fury gathering about that portion of the ruins of New York, Daniel was seriously starting to believe her claim that she might indeed be the daughter of Thor, and what was standing beside him really was the Goddess of the Storm.&nbsp; Before Daniel could think about that more, Athena's warning system went off and once more, the semi-reflective looking disk of pure force energy snapped in place and deflected the incoming projectile.&nbsp; The round was no where even close to threatening Daniel or Kaia, but Daniel did not want to take any chance.&nbsp; Daniel's eyes went back to the ruins were the flankers were at, wishing to God he could see what was happening inside.&nbsp; All he knew was that time was running out by the continuing build up of meteorologic energy about to be unleashed.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Daniel gritted his teeth, and just as the lightning flashed and stabbed down upon the ruined building like spears cast by the divine.&nbsp; Again and again the lightning struck, turning a building that had survived the Sentinel War and everything that followed into so much rubble.&nbsp; Daniel started to loose hope as concrete and other construction material exploded when being super heated by the unleashed primal elemental energy.&nbsp; Steel girders that were the bones and skeletal structure of the ruins melted under the onslaught.&nbsp; &nbsp;Kaia truly brought down her anger and wrath upon those inside the building.&nbsp; No one could have survived the primal fury that Kaia unleashed upon that structure, not even Daredevil.&nbsp; <br><br>Then from the flames and the ashes the dark red form launched forth, her hand outstretched as laid herself out and grabbed forth the lifeline Moon Knight had given her.&nbsp; The man must had a better vantage point from his airship that allowed him to put himself at the right place and the right time, and Karen had timed everything almost down to the tenth of seconds as to when Kaia's power would hit the building and those inside it.&nbsp; Electrical power arched all about the inside of the building, slamming and flowing through one soldier after another as Karen looked on information being fed to her as she was hauled up into Moon Knight's airship.&nbsp; &nbsp;Karen disengaged herself from his form as she took a look about, her armor feeding her data about his airship as he spoke.&nbsp; She did not argue or ask question, merely gave Moon Knight a short, professional nod of her head and sat down at the station, pulling up the control interface and lining it up among the smoke and ash and debris that once was a building and now was nothing more than scrap, seeing if anyone survived.<br><br>From the initial rush of the group, the power of the furious storm that was raining down hard upon the ruins of Scav-Mart and everything in a ten block radius about the area, only five men staggered out in some form of fighting strength or ability.&nbsp; They were far from stupid and began to pull back now, retreating and laying down cover fire.&nbsp; Once more Daniel came into play and expanded his energy shield, rounds deflecting or shattering into metallic shards, providing what protection that he can for Kaia as she controlled the storms power and directed it.&nbsp; Daniel eyes narrowed at the retreating forms and he shouted into the wind and rage that was the thunder storm about him and Kaia, his audio outputs up as high as they can.&nbsp; <strong>"They do not escape.&nbsp; These people do not come into our territory, kill people under our protection, and get to run away.&nbsp; No fucking way!"</strong><br><br>At the edge of the storm, the Leader continued to watch under his stealth field.&nbsp; His own eyes narrowed at the information his own armor and system was providing him.&nbsp; This night had not gone exactly as planned.&nbsp; Had it only been this Shield or Daredevil character, they might had handled it, but the combination of all six of these individuals, working as they did, proved to be more costly than estimated.&nbsp; The Leader activated his communication system as he spoke to his superiors.&nbsp; <br><br><strong><em>"Yes, this is Alpha.&nbsp; Resistance at the target far superior to the assets in the field.&nbsp; Recommend withdrawal and reassessment.&nbsp; &nbsp;In fact let them open up and trip whatever traps Stark and his kind left behind.&nbsp; They would be formidable as they would had been designed to take on an Omega series Sentinel.&nbsp; We can always come back.&nbsp; We proved here that the Tower is on-line, and we have data on those that would oppose us.&nbsp; It is not a loss, merely lateral move instead of a step forward. Yes?&nbsp; Good, I am bouncing.&nbsp; See you back at the lair.&nbsp; Crossbones out." </em></strong>&nbsp; With that, the man that was the leader of this assault, stepped back into the night and headed to his evac point.&nbsp; It was time to cut bait and run.&nbsp; There will be another time, and that next time, he will be prepared to take on even Asgardians.

He piloted the ship back to the tower and set it on hover mode again. "We are here. I will meet you down there." He set the hatch to close after the other occupant exited. He'd seen her use some kind of a line, she could surely get back to the roof on her own. The thought of carrying her down again was... distracting. He glided to the roof and checked for more enemies. So far, there didn't seem to be any. He gathered his armored cloak around him and waited.

She sliced the air with her axe to create a portal back to the tower. "We can likely beat the Knight of the Moon there!"

She understood why he did not set the vehicle on the tower itself.&nbsp; Despite appearances, the build was near a century plus old, and who knew that structural weaknesses it had developed.&nbsp; It would be understandable for a normal building, and this facility had seen direct combat against the Sentinels and God knew what else.&nbsp; Not to mention what latent defenses were now active with power being restored to the facility.&nbsp; &nbsp;Karen decided that prudence was the best course of action till she knew more about what they were dealing with it.&nbsp; Someone had gone through a lot of effort, and spent a lot of money, restoring the electrical power grid for this portion of Manhattan Island and this building was their goal.&nbsp; It stood to reason something inside was worth the carnage they unleashed on the populace below.<br><br>Karen stepped to the edge of the open hatchway and once more uttered the trigger command that would engage the enhanced diagnostic package built into the Daredevil armor.&nbsp; &nbsp;With that, she was able to plot the optimal placement for her grapple.&nbsp; &nbsp;Taking out her "billy" club, she aimed and fired it and in the same motion, stepped off the edge and dove into free fall.&nbsp; &nbsp;she then grasped the other end of the club with both hands, enacting the magnetic grip so the club would not "slip" out of her hands, and waited for the impulse shock of her weight at the end of the grapple line.&nbsp; <br><br>The stress of the action was distributed about the armor, reinforced joints compensating for the force.&nbsp; It did not get rid of all of the stress, and Karen felt the tug and pull about her biceps and shoulders.&nbsp; &nbsp;It was as if she were hanging down about to do a pull up.&nbsp; If it had not been for the armor though, the force generated from her free fall plunge might had been enough to rip her shoulders from their sockets at the worst.&nbsp; The very least caused muscle tears.&nbsp; Yes, the armor was indeed well designed for the functions Karen thought up that the armor would experience time and time again, and even for a few scenarios she had not planned on at first.<br><br>Karen's put her thoughts aside as she reached the apex of her "swing" and retracted the grapple.&nbsp; Using the momentum generated from her free fall, Karen did a double roll in the air, and like the Olympic gymnasts of old, stuck her "landing" right beside Moon Knight.&nbsp; &nbsp;Karen was breathing a bit hard, the rush adrenaline through her body, the exhilaration she experienced, the freedom when she was flipping about in the air where the slightest miscalculation on her part could end in serious injury to her body, or worse.&nbsp; It was that thrill, that challenge of pitting and pushing Karen's body and skills to the limit that had her coming out to the ruins night after night as Daredevil.&nbsp; Yes helping people that had no other recourse was a good motivator, but the pure physical satisfaction Karen got was up there on the list.<br><br>Karen turned to face Moon Knight with that smile upon features that he could see.&nbsp; &nbsp;She let out in a somewhat breathless tone.&nbsp; <strong>"Now that, was fun.&nbsp; Let us see what Shield was good enough to leave behind and what did it do to the door.&nbsp; Though in the end if it doesn't open we could always stand away and let the Asgardian princess hit it with that axe of hers."</strong>&nbsp; Karen moved around Moon Knight with a lithe grace, and perhaps a bit more sway into her hips than was called for as she knelt down by the door to study what was left behind.&nbsp; As she did, the screen of the device turned from red to green, and the door slide open.&nbsp; In the air about them, a female voice with a slightly British accent to it sounded in the air about them.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Access granted."</em></strong><br><br><hr><div class="floatleft">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fe/28/b2/fe28b2428bba1131a0d7dc7275f37762.jpg)</div><br><br><strong>Character Name:</strong> Shield<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Daniel Stark<br><strong>Time/Date:</strong> 0150 6 Apr, 2102<br><strong>Location:</strong> Scav Mart<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Everyone<br><strong>Mentioned:</strong> Kaia, Astrid, Venom, Shield, Moon Knight, Daredevil<br><strong>NSFW Warning:</strong> None<br><br><br><br><hr><br>Shield looked about and inside his helmet he spoke to Athena.&nbsp; <strong>"Athena, scan for life signs.&nbsp; I suppose it would be good to see if we have any prisoners to bring with us."</strong>&nbsp; To help facilitate his request, Shield turned a very slow three hundred and sixty degrees from where he was at.&nbsp; As he did so, when both Astrid and Venom came into his field of view, he gave both of them a nod of respect.&nbsp; Despite all of them coming from different backgrounds with different origins and motivations, all six of them worked well together as a team and complimented each other well.&nbsp; &nbsp;It helped that in their own way, none of them were green or inexperienced when it came to using their skills or abilities.&nbsp; It was because of that they were very effective during this combat.&nbsp; Daniel almost got a mental "hard on" at the possibilities if they all actually trained together as a team.<br><br>Daniel's thoughts were interrupted by Athena's response once Daniel had finished his slow turn in a circle.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Negative live signs among enemy combatants."</em></strong>&nbsp; Daniel winced slightly at that.&nbsp; Looks like the six of them together were perhaps a bit too good, and too deadly.&nbsp; It might be an issue when they had to pull their punches and not leave a wake of bodies behind them.&nbsp; Daniel did not wallow in self pity or remorse at Athena's report.&nbsp; These men were sent here to do one thing and that was to kill as many people as possible that witnessed them.&nbsp; There actions were cold blooded and premeditated, not something that was the result of the so called "fog of war".&nbsp; Retaliating in the way that Daniel and his other companions did was simple self defense.&nbsp; That and the bastards deserved it.<br><br>Daniel turned about and accessed his external communications as he did, his voice an electronic distorted buzz as she spoke to Astrid, Kaia, and Venom.&nbsp; <strong><em>"No prisoners to take with us or question.&nbsp; We were a bit too good with our response back at them.&nbsp; Not that I care too much as the asshole deserved what happened too them.&nbsp; Knowing specifically what they were after would had been a bonus, but its is clear it is whatever is left over in the Tower, so it should not be too hard at all for us to figure it out."</em></strong> <br><br>Just then, Kaia created the rift in the air as she had did before, and Daniel inclined his head towards her.&nbsp; <strong><em>"Thank you, daughter of Thor.&nbsp; Much appreciated."</em></strong>&nbsp; There was a tone of light and mirthful banter behind the voice, or at least Daniel hoped that it would be recognized as such.&nbsp; From what Daniel had read about Asgardians they did slide into that behavior pattern at the conclusion of a well fought battle, especially if there was an air or edge of challenge to it.&nbsp; Daniel hoped that both Kaia and Astrid responded to that and continued to treat Daniel as more friendly and helpful ally than something they should oppose.<br><br>Daniel launched himself through the dimensional rift and found himself on the same small platform that both Moon Knight and Daredevil were standing on.&nbsp; Daredevil had just finished kneeling and Daniel's ICE break had finished its job and the door opened.&nbsp; What was very interesting was the fact that the Tower had welcomed them in and had given them access rather than treat them as intruders.&nbsp; After all Daniel had just taken what was the cyber equivalent of a crowbar to the door to pry it open.&nbsp; Not too many people behind locked doors welcomed a person in after that.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong><em>"Okay, I will admit I did not expect that..."</em></strong> Daniel said as he stared at the open doorway while waiting for the others to arrive.&nbsp; He turned to both Daredevil and Moon Knight and gave a shrug of his shoulders.&nbsp; <strong><em>"I got nothing and standing out here won't solve the mystery on why these thugs invested a gross amount of time and money to get power back to this Tower."</em></strong>

The cold, capable avatar of Khonshu observed his teammates, wondering how the entry into the fabled tower would go. The ship was on hover and stealth mode, it would be fine. There were no enemies on the roof to worry about. The group was reassembling after the detour to go after the group of armed men. <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But in his head, something was not quite right. A voice that was becoming harder to still was getting louder. A part of his attention that should be on the lookout for foes was admiring the sway of Daredevil’s hips.
