They would have to walk down to the cafe, but luckily it wasn't too far away. It was a nice day for a walk even if the sidewalks were crowded and the streets filled with noise. She led them down a cafe not far from Wallstreet. It was a favorite place, with good food and decent prices. She more especially loved their strawberry lemonade. She didn't say overly much as they walked but would make small talk if either of them said anything. Carol told them about the place and figured they were all dressed well enough for the casual dining. After arriving the waitress offered to seat them inside or outside and Carol almost immediately asked for inside but by the window. She wanted the sunshine but not the noise and smog. <br><br>It was a busy place and the seating was a little cramped but most places in New York was that way, especially along Broadway. She stood there by the doorway and looked to her two companions as they were told it would be a ten minute wait to be seated. Pushing back her long sunshine locks she tucked them back behind one ear and then glanced around. <br><br><strong>"Is this okay? I mean, its a little bit of a wait but you'll probably find that going on anywhere around here. Is inside okay for you two also? I didn't mean to just be the voice of the group here.. John should be doing that."</strong><br><br>She gave John a grin and then looked to Caroline before glancing back to the dark haired male.</span>

After walking in, Luigi, the owner greeted him by coming around and patting him on the back. "Steve, I see all my food finally worked!" The old Italian jested every time, something Steve looked forward to every time he came in. The fit young man took a seat at the counter and asked for a glass of iced tea as he ordered and waited for the usual. The two shared a conversation, Luigi grinning at the young man as he devoured a basket of garlic bread and dipping sauce without batting an eye and still hungry. His backpack was resting on the seat next to him, the main focus of the conversation turning to Steve's new jacket and the game on the television.

She made the action seem so foreign that perhaps being treated like a woman was something she wasn't accustomed to. The senior flashed an amused grin at her. No matter what armor a woman decided to don, she was still a woman beneath it—so he's learned from experience. John hadn't known what burgers were. It was a strange word for food, if that was what it was.<br><br><em>Burgers...</em> he mused, trying to will an image to his mind. First, the image of a burg appeared, a nice quaint town with people walking back and forth, and those people were burgers. That didn't feel right.<br><br>They walked the city arm in arm and though the streets were crowded, John gave every individual that dared to walk between them a dangerous scowl, and glared at them as they went around. It angered him to think that people had the audacity to attempt such a thing.<br><br>Carol had led them to a crowded café, and John hadn’t minded the place until the waitress told them that they would have to wait ten minutes.<br><br><em>What?</em> he thought. He released Carol’s and Caroline’s arms to gaze about the café’s interior and saw an empty booth that was covered in dishes and had yet to be cleaned. That would be their table.<br><br><strong>Is this okay? I mean, it’s a little bit of a wait but you'll probably find that going on anywhere around here. Is inside okay for you two also? I didn't mean to just be the voice of the group here...John should be doing that.</strong><br><br>“How kind of you…Inside is fine, but waiting ten minutes is not,” John irritably replied. He was a god for crying out loud!<br><br>There was a bus boy walking by with his tub for collecting dishes. John pointed sharply toward him as though lightning could have leapt from his finger and shocked the teenager.<br><br>“You! Little man!” he roared.<br><br>The teenager went still—one of his feet were still propped up having yet to settle on the floor and then he thought to himself, <em>Did he just call me little man?</em>. The man was no bigger than him.<br><br>His eyes were wide as though the imaginary lightning had struck him into paralysis. John then pointed to the booth in the corner and demanded, “Prepare that table. The g-(<del>god</del>) I and the women will wait for no one. If you do so quickly, I shall pay you handsomely!”<br><br>The bus boy did as he was told as though he were a soldier. Later he would question why he felt so afraid to displease the man, but in the mean time he went to the table and began sliding the dirty dishes into his tub. John sneered arrogantly before he turned his head to regard Carol and Caroline. What did they think of that?<br><br>When the bus boy had cleaned the table, John started over to the booth as he was wiping it down and slid into the seat. The teenager remained standing before the table until John ordered, “Be gone until I need of your services again.”<br><br>The bus boy then promptly took his leave.

				Caroline could not keep confidence for long in the throng of people.&nbsp; Whispers seemed to be about her and furtive glances were criticisms.&nbsp; Shoulders seemed weighed down from the pressure of such suspicions.&nbsp; Her body language suggested she was trying to be smaller, to be petite next to him.&nbsp; Braced near a woman like Carol she could not help but notice her own size.&nbsp; The motions pushed her closed to Johnny, which was not a poor place to be in her mind.&nbsp; Still she knew that cuddling up to a man on the first outing was not a good way to go about securing another outing.&nbsp; So she did her best to withdraw, but also shrink so that a happy medium could be gained.<br><br>The shift in his attitude toward the staff was a shock.&nbsp; He seemed so gentle before and then suddenly so commanding.&nbsp; Eyebrows lifted up and she looked over at Carol.&nbsp; Slowly she mouthed the word, “wow” to her before looking back to the man and his display of prowess.&nbsp; <br>

She had never seen anyone take charge like that before. Carol was five foot ten and while she wasn't a dwarf next to Caroline, she was a little shorter. She liked being a little shorter, it took a lot of the attention off her for a little while. She gave the larger female a shrugs as if to say she had no clue where that came from. Carol moved to settle into the seat that was so hastily made clean for them and she looked at John with that same brow raised. Her heart raced at the excitement of his commanding attitude but more at the quick movements of the bus boy. She felt bad for the boy but couldn't really say much at the time. <br><br><strong>"Just what was that about? Not a patient person, I take it, John?"</strong><br><br>She did have to admit she was taken back by the tone in his voice but subconsciously was drawn to his raw dominant nature and it cause tingly places in her nether regions. The blonde hero slid into her seat and crossed her smooth bare legs accordingly. Giving a partially apologetic smile to the busboy she looked to other patrons who were now staring at the trio and couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed then as well. Her smile tried to extend to them as well but she just gave up on it and looked to her dinner partners. At least now they had a seat and she was more than ready for something to drink and eat. Waiting for the other two to get into their places she pushed back a silken lock behind one shoulder and exhaled slowly, relaxing some.</span>

				The three Avengers were settled into their seat when a waitress who did not look happy to be waiting their table walked up... she sighed a touch and handed them menus, forcing a smile as she really didn't want to deal with rude customers today.&nbsp; She smiled thinly and spoke to the three of them, her voice almost deadpan.<br><br><strong>"Hi, my name is Julie and I'll be your waitress today.&nbsp; What can I get for you for drinks?"</strong><br><br>Carol was the one to feel it first... her 7th sense warned her of impending danger just in time to see a Prius as it crashed through the window right in front of them, threatening to bowl all of them over.&nbsp; The sound of a loud alarm could be heard from outside as people screamed and dove for cover.&nbsp; The waitress would not be able to get out of the way in time unless one of the Avengers acted fast.&nbsp; <br><br><div align="center"><strong>*****</strong></div><br>Meanwhile, Steve heard an explosion followed by a loud crash just as he was exiting with his meal to go... spotting a car put through the window of a cafe across the street, he could see that the bank further down the street's entrance had been completely blown out, smoke billowing out as traffic in the street was in a typical downtown deadlock.&nbsp; A fire hydrant nearby was busted, water spraying everywhere as people on the street panicked and ran.&nbsp; <br><br>Stepping out from the bank was an imposing figure... a man who stood about 6'4" tall with a bald, almost cone shaped head.&nbsp; He dragged a chain attached to what looked to be a basketball-sized wrecking ball behind him but the most disturbing thing about him was that he appeared to be made out of some kind of metal.&nbsp; In his free hand he held a large sack obviously stuffed with stacks of cash.&nbsp; Behind him another figure stepped out... a far more lithe figure in a skintight costume of red, black and yellow.&nbsp; He also carried a large sack full of obviously stolen money.&nbsp; The larger man looked about and grinned.<br><strong><br>"Looks like we're home free, Speed Demon!"</strong><br><br>Speed Demon shook his head.<br><br><strong>"Don't count your chickens yet, Creel.&nbsp; Our ride should be here any time.&nbsp; In the meanwhile, keep an eye out for trouble!"</strong><br><br><br><br><div align="center">(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/AbsorbingMan.jpg)&nbsp; (http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/200px-Speed_Demon_001.jpg)</div>

Her senses told her something bad was going to happen. She pushed her fingers through her long hair once just before she grabbed the woman and tumbled with her away from the point of would be impact. She had shouted out as she did so making it abundantly clear something was going to happen. Whether the other patrons listened wasn't anything she could do but hopefully John or Caroline had some ideas of their own to minimize the impending damage. <br><br><strong>"Incoming!!!!!!!!!! Move!!! "</strong><br><br>Thankful of her seventh sense. She had moved the waitress who would be cursing at her if she doesn't soon see the crashing in of glass and tires. Sure enough it came in swiftly and Carol put her arms out around the woman.&nbsp; Her heart had dropped to her stomach and Carol just tried to make sure the woman was okay. She had taken no cuts of her own from the flying debris and she had shielded the female as much as possible. The invulnerable strength and toughness of being a super had its moments, this was just one of those times. There was a lot to be said about being a hero, but being one without a costume on spoke more volumes sometimes. Her heart thudded in her chest as she looked for her dinner companions to see what they were going to do. Everything seemed as if it were moving in slow motion. It was intense and Carol was a little torn at having left the two at the table.<br><br></span>

Nothing could have prepared him for what he saw, his eyes went wide for a moment before he reached into his bag to pull out the shield decorated with the country's colors. Steve was dressed in nothing else but his jeans and his Letterman jacket, he was not spider man or anyone of the other heroes he had seen back at the training facility but he would have to do until the cops arrived. <br><br><strong>"Get away, move move."</strong><br>He would remember ferrying people away from the big guy and the smaller one. Once he had a clear shot at them he flung the shield at the big ones head with all his might before charging the smaller guy. Steve was not sure what he was doing but those two had put people in danger and that meant they where dangerous and had to be put down right away.

Not a patient person, I take it, John?</strong><br><br>John sat back and spread his arms to his left and right. His eyes flicked to the two empty spaces briefly before he answered Carol’s question, “No, I’m not, but I can be for you.”<br><br>He smirked softly until a dull voice he nearly missed seeped into his ear. The waitress’s tone was insulting. Who was she talking to with such exasperation? The corner of his mouth arched in disgust and just before he could bite the servant’s head off, Carol had alerted:<br><br><strong>Incoming! Move!</strong><br><br>John glanced to where Carol would have been only to see a blank space, and then his eyes flicked back to the waitress to see her wrapped in the arms of a blonde who was darting away. A shadow blocked out the sun and John turned his head to gaze at the café window and the car that was seconds from shattering through the glass.<br><br>The toe of his shoe swiftly swung upwards to meet the steel table leg, dislodging it from the bolts that held it to the floor. The car smashed through the window as the table was propped upwards. Shards of glass clattered against its burnished surface as John wrapped his arms about the steel leg and braced himself like a Spartan wielding a shield for impact.<br><br>The face of the Prius cracked the table in two and John’s soles screeched a few inches back as he felt the vehicle’s inertia stubbornly pushing against his resistance. His muscles were tensed to tearing and John bellowed a cry of exertion as he transformed.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><em><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">RAAAAAH~!</span></em></span></div><br>Strong hands clapped against the hood and axle as the vehicle’s momentum depleted. From beneath a bronze-like helm, Ares clinched his teeth in the rage that was boiling over inside him. His eyes gleamed from behind the shadows of his helm as he hefted the car like a javelin and gave three charging steps toward the window. Before crossing it, he lobbed the vehicle back into the street in a tantrum and watched as it bounced across the asphalt.<br><br><div class="floatright">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/HlySd/A___is_for_Ares_by_Enymy-1.jpg)</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Ares: Heading for Trouble</span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: times new roman;" class="bbc_font">Cock blocked and furious!</span></div><br>So much for the surprise and trying to keep his identity hidden from the other Avengers…John was no more as the god stood before the window almost towering in appearance, but it was merely an illusion granted by the rock-hard muscles decked upon his person. His fists were clinched and trembled with a wrathful start. Finally, he stepped out the window and marched into the street out for blood.<br><br>“Who dares interrupt the feast of a god?” Ares roared. He was heading straight for the bout that was occurring before the bank, honing like a missile of impending destruction. “Fear and remember this day you have angered the God of War!”<br><br>Ares had never met Steve as John, and in his current mood, he wouldn’t take the time to distinguish who from what.

				Everything moved so fast.&nbsp; People moved so quickly that Caroline could hardly keep up with the action.&nbsp; &nbsp;Screams echoed through the air while she stared with dumb found attention at the oncoming vehicle.&nbsp; A dry swallow was given while the cold came to embrace her body.&nbsp; Metallic veins worked their way along her arms and beneath the soft fabric of her dress.&nbsp; The shy face became a shield of unblemished metal.&nbsp; Beside her John, or the man who had been John, stood with such ferocity that she feared his wrath as much as the car.&nbsp; Yet he stood to defend with his makeshift shield before him.&nbsp; The car slowed and stopped, but the onslaught continued.<br><br>Then the scene became slow again.&nbsp; John made his way outside while Carol lay wrapped about the waitress.&nbsp; Caroline let the cold wash away from her body so that she stood normal once more.&nbsp; A hand of flesh and warmth came to touch Carol’s shoulder and help her up.&nbsp; The other hand moved to slightly brush her companion off, a useless gesture but one she felt was necessary.<br><br>“I….I think I see Steve out there.&nbsp; We…” there was a hint of resignation in her voice as she looked down at her dress.&nbsp; Around her body the metal began to form once more.&nbsp; Carol could see the other woman grow larger while the metal consumed her skin until she stood above even the largest man.&nbsp; The hand on Carol was like a machine’s, cold and strong without limits.&nbsp; The voice that emerged was more forceful now, powerful.<br><br>“We should help.”<br>

She accepted the help up and dusted off before checking over the waitress. The woman was shook up and crying from her near death experience but Carol had things to do other than soothing the womans feelings. She looked to a couple who stood nearby who were more than willing to move over and take over the waitress' well being. After giving them a nod of thanks, she pushed her hair back tying it into a ponytail as she looked back to Caroline.....wow! She didn't expect the metal coated body of her new friend. After the initial shock she smiled wide at her. They did have to go help. Steve? Steve was out there?<br><br>She moved with Caroline heading out toward the streets. She suddenly wish she had some clothing that moved more easily but it would have to do. The blonde heroine was without her mask and other items of saving her identity. It was bound to happen sooner or later. As the pair moved toward the doors and around the broken bits of wood and glass she looked up to see a man claiming to be a god? She tilted her head at his massive size and the helmet. Ares? The real Ares?! She wasn't sure who was at fault now but she sure hoped he was on their side.<br><br>Her bright blue eyes shifted to Caroline and then back to the large god before them. She wanted to move past him to see where Steve was and more importantly to see just what had happened to cause a car to go flying into the cafe. Speaking to Caroline she said her questions aloud, hoping maybe the other female could help her out here.<br><br><strong>"We should definitely help... where did John go? And who ticked off the god of War?"</strong></span>

				“The Prius I think.”<br><br>Caroline smiled slightly.&nbsp; An odd sight considering her stature and body now.&nbsp; Watching the act was like seeing a statue turn to give a gesture of appreciation to a passerby.&nbsp; Only the dress remained of her friend and even now that article of clothing was in danger.&nbsp; More than likely Caroline had sacrificed the blue dress in order to participate in this conflict.&nbsp; Hands curled into metallic fists while the large woman stalked forward.&nbsp; Beneath the cold exterior of metal was a blazing heat of anger that was slow to build.&nbsp; Yet build that anger did as she thought about her ruined date and the hopes she had for the date.<br><br>“They are waiting for someone or something.&nbsp; This fight needs to end quickly.”<br>

				The large bald man nodded to his partner in crime, distracted just long enough to miss the sound of the spinning red, white and blue shield as it hurtled toward him.&nbsp; The shield was a marvel of science... an unknown factor had allowed the combining of an unknown steel alloy with the rare metal Vibranium to create the most indestructible object that mankind had ever seen.&nbsp; It had never been reproduced and likely never would.&nbsp; The shield struck the man in the forehead with sufficient force to send him staggering back, dropping the sack of pilfered cash in the process.&nbsp; The shield ricocheted off the villain, struck a nearby lamp pole and flew back to it's owner.&nbsp; Speed Demon blinked and looked to where the shield went... his eyes narrowing.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"Looks like we have a would-be hero trying to save the day."</strong><br><br>'Crusher' Creel, better known as the Absorbing Man stepped forth, the large dent in his forehead swiftly healing as he gritted his teeth in annoyance.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"He's about to become a dead hero.&nbsp; Go ahead and-"</strong><br><br>Then the angry god's shouts sounded throughout the area... and people started to panic, abandoning their cars to run as fast as they could out of harm's way.&nbsp; Speed Demon and the Absorbing Man turned to face the new threat... Speed Demon shook his head.<br><br><strong>"Is there like a superhero convention nearby that no one told us about?&nbsp; They're comin' out of the woodwork!"</strong><br><br>Creel sneered at the so-called 'God of War'... he reached down and grabbed the chain he carried, effortlessly spinning the heavy ball that looked to be composed of the same metal substance as him around above his head.<br><br><strong>"Nevermind.&nbsp; You take care of the star spangled jerk over there and I'll take this 'god' on."</strong><br><br>He stepped forward and shouted at the incoming Ares.<br><br><strong>"God of War, huh?&nbsp; I've taken on -real- gods before, chump.&nbsp; You're nothing compared to the Absorbing Man!"</strong><br><br>With that, he hurled the heavy wrecking ball, the chain mystically extending as the metal sphere struck the cocky god in the chest with force and accuracy he had not expected.&nbsp; Ares would likely not underestimate his foe again, but this would catch him off guard.&nbsp; Creel smirked.&nbsp; it was his turn to be cocky.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"Har har har!&nbsp; That's what I thought, ya jobber!"</strong><br><br>In the meantime, Speed Demon was in motion... boy was he in motion.&nbsp; One second he was standing beside the Absorbing Man and the next he was behind Captain America in a blur.&nbsp; Steve was assailed by a flurry of super fast punches, but he would notice that despite the villain's speed, he wasn't all that strong.&nbsp; If he wasn't careful though, the villain's speed could even overwhelm Steve's natural fighting ability.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"What's the matter, hero?&nbsp; Too slow?"</strong><br><br>In the confusion of battle, neither villain seemed to have noticed the gleaming form of Colossus stepping out from the ruined cafe and Carol seemed for now like a mere bystander, but that could soon change!

He jerked on the chain with enough strength to tug Creel toward him as he seemed to keep a tight grip on his precious weapon.

				The Absorbing Man's face contorted into a mask of shock as Ares began his assault... again and again he found himself slammed into ground and various other objects by the god who's strength rivaled that of the rampaging Hulk.&nbsp; Again and again he was slammed into things and cars, post boxes and lamp posts flew every which way as terrified mortals fled, and though he was injured somewhat, the man's resilience was quite impressive.&nbsp; Numerous dents riddled his body and as the steel form of Colossus stepped to the fray to grasp Creel's flesh, which had the consistency of a bank vault door, she found her fingers digging in to the slightly softer material.&nbsp; Until that point Creel seemed to have been dazed, but as Caroline slammed him into the ground, the pavement gave way, creating a small crater in the sidewalk.&nbsp; Creel's eyes had been closed and for a brief moment it seemed as though he was down for the count.&nbsp; Then his eyes snapped open and he grinned at her, large hands closing around the organic steel arm of the metallic Avenger.&nbsp; The dull metal veneer of the Absorbing Man's body changed to a banded gleaming steel color as he took on the more powerful properties of Colossus' metal form.&nbsp; With newfound strength, he applied some wicked leverage and literally threw Caroline at Ares.&nbsp; Having dropped his wrecking ball and chain, he made it to his feet and laughed.&nbsp; The new absorption had healed the dents in his body from before, it seemed.<br><br><strong>"Har! Har! Har!&nbsp; I'm the Absorbing Man... that means I can absorb -anything-!&nbsp; I'm gonna enjoy wiping the floor with you schmucks."</strong><br><br>He pointed at Ares and then Colossus.<br><br><strong>"I'm gonna knock your head so far between your shoulders that you'll have to unzip your pants to eat... and I'm gonna send -you- to the recycling yard!"</strong><br><br>Creel didn't mention how unnerved by the sheer ferocity of the so-called god of war he had been... but now he felt a bit more confident.<br><br>Despite Captain America's superior fighting skill, he just couldn't seem to get a proper bead on Speed Demon.&nbsp; It was as though the villain perceived everything around him as moving in slow motion.&nbsp; He dodged every attack that came his way like Steve was stuck in molasses.&nbsp; <br><strong><br>"Hahahaha!&nbsp; I knew it!&nbsp; I'm too fast for you!&nbsp; I'm not even moving as fast as I- Whoa!"</strong><br><br>Ms Marvel's energy blast came out of nowhere to Speed Demon... he skidded to a halt just in time to avoid being hit by the beam of concentrated plasma, which hit the pavement, shattering and melting it on contact, leaving a wide smoking crater in the street.&nbsp; Unfortunately for the villain, that was all the opening that Cap needed, and he found himself grappled tightly by the super soldier.&nbsp; His legs kicked furiously like a humorous caricature of an old cartoon character, but he could not even touch the ground so long as he was held.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"Hey!&nbsp; No fair!&nbsp; Let me go, you muscle-bound fool!"</strong>

He didn’t have a chance to take a full gander at her before she yanked the Absorbing Man, which whirled the god around as the chain snapped free from his grasp. He gazed down at Creel as his body shattered the pavement. Ares scowled at the thug with a face that said: <em>what now!</em> And then the convict’s eyes snapped open. The war god’s fists clenched tightly as he resisted the impulse to pummel the man. There was something the Absorbing Man did that interested the god. His hands had grasped the metal woman’s arm and then his skin had morphed, instantly matching the properties of the metal woman.<br><br><em>So that was it…</em>, Ares figured.<br><br>Creel lifted Colossus and as he swung her around, Ares braced himself to catch her as she slammed into him like an anvil. The Absorbing Man seemed stronger than he had been before, using the properties of his ball. Ares, once again, flew back, and was growing tired of being lobbed about by the man’s attacks. His back struck the pavement this time, Colossus’s body, having struck him harder than the ball had. When the god slid to a stop, he frowned up at the sky as he overheard the Absorbing Man tooting his horn.<br><br>Ares sat up and growled like a feral beast. How he desired to break that felon…he glanced to the metal woman, now getting a chance to examine her a little better. The dress she wore made the god’s brows rise in surprise. This steel woman was none other than the Amazon. He then turned his head to gaze at Carol who was now flying. Well, she didn’t look any different, but he didn’t know she could fly!<br><br>There was no recognition in Caroline’s eyes when they had briefly made eye contact. Did they not know that he was John Aaron and that John Aaron was Ares? No matter. Clearing his thoughts, Ares looked sternly at Colossus.<br><br>“You make a fine weapon,” he told her. It sounded like a compliment, but he was hinting her steel constitution. “May I?”<br><br>Ares held his hand out to her. He hadn’t planned to swing her about like a club, but perhaps assisting her in laying a few powerful kicks and punches at the loudmouth would end this game.

Steve did not let up on Speed Demon but he tried to adjust to move away from the raging battle in the background, tightening his hold to the point of snapping one of the speed demon's limbs. He had no idea how to release him without him escaping so holding on to him seemed like the thing to do.<strong> "I assume you don't have a pair of cuffs for this guy?"</strong> Steve added, assuming some sort of police or even Avenger intervention soon enough.

				Power resonated in his movement.&nbsp; There was so much to his strength that she could not imagine.&nbsp; Moving together the pair made their attack.&nbsp; A feint given and then the hammer was made to fall.&nbsp; Her body tightened when he pulled her around, coiling so that the strength of her body became one of potential might.&nbsp; He hoisted her upward and down.&nbsp; The steel of body that now graced her flesh unfolded in flight so that her legs drove down into the newly fashioned body of this man.&nbsp; Powerful thigh muscles mixed with the strength behind the man’s swing so that her feet planted into the other’s chest.&nbsp; Her heels became the points of impact, driving all such power into two small points.&nbsp; Eyes narrowed on the man that had stolen from her the gift of steel and with an angry growl she was determined to have back her might.

				Creel's smug grin widened as Ares' clumsy attack missed him.&nbsp; He barely even had to dodge!&nbsp; He laughed again and did not see the real attack coming as Colossus was swung with unearthly strength towards him... and to add even more injury to insult, the heroine slammed her powerful legs into his chest at the exact moment of impact.&nbsp; The two beings of metal collided with a force that resonated like a gargantuan church bell, and though pain and injury shot through Caroline's legs and hips, it was the Absorbing Man who flew back with a slight dent in his form... back into the bank, shattering the front glass window and still he flew, crashing through the building into the parking lot in the back!&nbsp; Finally he stopped, very much in pain and in a trench of his body's own making.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"Ohhh... that freaking hurt."</strong><br><br>Ares and Colossus' immediate triumph was cut short however as the sound of laughter heralded the appearance of yet another foe.&nbsp; A nearby fire hydrant exploded, sending water spraying all over the two of them... they were sufficiently strong that the water didn't knock them back, but it didn't take long for them to realize that the water was not entirely normal.&nbsp; It began to swiftly climb up Ares' body, about an inch of water surrounding him on all sides.&nbsp; The water itself seemed to vibrate ever so slightly as the voice was heard again.<br><br><strong>"Hehe... looks like you could use some help, Creel.&nbsp; The kind of help that only HYDRO MAN can give!&nbsp; I wonder if gods still need to breathe... let's find out!"</strong><br><br>The water moved to completely cover Ares' body and head now... if he kept his mouth open the water started to seep inside.&nbsp; Otherwise it remained as a coating... Ares could hold his breath for a long while, but though he could not truly die on this world, even he could be incapacitated by lack of air... especially if forced to engage in combat while trying to hold his breath.&nbsp; Time was of the essence!<br><br>Meanwhile, Speed Demon growled in frustration and even cried out in pain at one point.&nbsp; He couldn't apply any of his speed!&nbsp; Who were these people?&nbsp; He snapped at Carol as she spoke to him.<br><br><strong>"You can take your blast and shove it up your- ow!"</strong><br><br>He winced again as Steve's hold squeezed his arms together.&nbsp; How was he going to escape?&nbsp; He wasn't about to go back to the Vault... no way.&nbsp; No- wait.&nbsp; That was it.&nbsp; Maybe it would work this time.&nbsp; He concentrated through the pain and his legs stopped moving... for a moment it seemed as if he was about to give up.&nbsp; Then his body began to vibrate... subtly at first and then it built up, until it started to become painful to hold onto the villain.&nbsp; If Carol and Steve didn't do something fast, the vibrations would get so intense that he would cut through Steve's arms like a buzzsaw.<br><br><strong>"Better let go, hero."</strong><br><br>Speed Demon smirked.<br><br><strong>"This could get messy."</strong>

He grinned when he saw how far Creel had flown. It was sweet vengeance, and the convict had gotten a taste of his own medicine. Just as the god thought the battle was over, a nearby fire hydrant exploded, and a gush of water spouted out of it. The odd thing was, it was all moving, rolling like a wave toward him.<br><br>Defensively, Ares stepped back the closer the rushing water came, but it soon found his legs and began to stack up, rising into a watery orb. Just before it enveloped his head, the god took a deep breath and then gazed through the rippling world around him.<br><br><strong>Hehe... looks like you could use some help, Creel.&nbsp; The kind of help that only HYDRO MAN can give!&nbsp; I wonder if gods still need to breathe... let's find out!</strong><br><br>The voice echoed and was watery to his ears, but he knew that this bubble was actually another foe. A foe made of water…it sounded harmless, but the god knew that if he managed to get inside his body, he probably wouldn’t be. Irritably, he threw a few punches into the water to no avail. How was he going to defeat this thing?<br><br>For the moment, Ares felt like a sitting duck, and he hated that feeling. He had to think…and fast.<br><br><strong>I'm the Absorbing Man... that means I can absorb -anything-!</strong><br><br>Ares’s brows rose with his epiphany. What happens when the Absorbing Man absorbs water? The war god looked to Colossus and pointed towards the destructive path Creel had traveled. He then pointed down to the floor in the stern gesture: Bring him here! Hopefully, she understood.<br><br>The war god then turned to the two blondes. He first glanced to Carol, finding it embarrassing for her to see him like this (having briefly forgot that Colossus was also Caroline), but then she didn’t know that he was John, so that was okay. He then gazed to the man with the red, white, and blue shield. He hadn’t seen him before, but he had one of the villains in his clutches. It didn’t look like Speed Demon was planning to go down so easily. Ares waved his arms as he tried to get the two blondes’ attention.<br><br>If he got it, he would point to Speed Demon, and then beckon with his hands towards himself. Ares wanted them to give him the villain. He was confident that he could hold his breath longer than any human, which would mean, Speed Demon would be out of luck.

Silently, Carol hoped that S.H.I.E.L.D. would be on its way to pick up the unconscious ones soon. Hydro-man, Absorbing man, Speed man?&nbsp; She had missed the last ones name but for some reason these villains certainly chose their names like they chose their underwear, plainly and to the point. Her flight picked up as she went full force toward Ares as the Speed Demon was likely out for the count and the other was in a trench of his own making. If the Absorbing man became an issue, she'd go after him herself, but for now, Ares' life was in danger.</span>

				Caroline was hesitant to touch the man again.&nbsp; Concerned eyes turned down the trench he had made in the ground.&nbsp; Across the man’s skin was still the very metal that protected her own body.&nbsp; Perhaps he would take more if she touched him again.&nbsp; Absorb more of her strength and steel so that there was nothing left.&nbsp; She had never encountered people like herself and so the fear was there.&nbsp; Then the cry went up from Carol above.&nbsp; Her beautiful frame floating above her like an angel.&nbsp; A determined set came to her jaw when her glance moved to Ares again.&nbsp; Beneath her the earth shook as she rushed forward to grasp the man.&nbsp; Steel fingers gripping his body.<br><br>A heave was given when she brought him up to her shoulders.&nbsp; Powers resonated in the flexing of her figure.&nbsp; The dress was in shreds so that she seemed like the steel Amazon that John had envisioned at first.&nbsp; Behind her the ball dragged and ahead of her she closed the distance so that soon the body was shrugged down to the earth.&nbsp; A swift push of her foot sent him the rest of the way into the watery personage that captured Ares.<br>

				The pain was intense as Captain America held Speed Demon in place as he vibrated at tremendous speed.&nbsp; If not for the benefits of the Super Soldier Serum, the villain would likely already have escaped.&nbsp; Carol's carefully aimed blast came none too soon and the smirk on the speedster's face quickly turned to one of horror as the beam of concussive heat struck him in the chest.&nbsp; He would have burns, but they would be relatively minor... the impact would be sufficient to bowl Steve and the villain over and send the two of them skidding back about 20 feet.&nbsp; Luckily, Steve was wearing his shield on his back and would simply slide back like a turtle on it's back, unharmed.&nbsp; Incidentally, the marvel of a shield would not even have it's paint scuffed.&nbsp; The villain had stopped vibrating... in fact he had gone limp, unconscious in the super soldier's grip.&nbsp; <br><br>In the distance, the sound of a helicopter could be heard... soon followed by the appearance of what looked like a modified Hind D Russian helicopter.&nbsp; It stopped above the scene and hovered there... a ladder composed of energy dropping down to just above the ground.&nbsp; A loudspeaker from the helicopter heralded the voice of another as it exclaimed.<br><br><strong>"You fools!&nbsp; Stop playing around with those pathetic heroes!&nbsp; Grab the money and get up here!&nbsp; The Wizard commands it!"</strong><br><br>Carol's second blast went wide, missing the Hydro-Man/Ares 'gestalt' being and obliterating a nearby fruit stand, which would never dare mess with her again.&nbsp; Ares was hit by flaming bananas and grown in Washington apples, but he had other things to worry about.&nbsp; Hydro Man chuckled as he began to invade Ares' nostrils and ears.<br><br><strong>"You think keeping your mouth closed will help you?&nbsp; Hahaha!&nbsp; There's more than one way to drown a god!&nbsp; Once I reach your lungs, it's game over, hero."</strong><br><br>Colossus had run over to the bank, despite her aching legs and hips, just in time to see Creel charging right back at her.&nbsp; It seemed that in the time it took for her to run to the other side of the street, the Absorbing Man had time to get up and get his bearings again.&nbsp; He didn't look happy, either.&nbsp; Creel shouted at the helicopter as he charged.<br><br><strong>"Bout time you showed up!&nbsp; You could always help us with these clowns, yanno!"</strong><br><br>With that he slammed into Colossus, and again there was a sound like a church bell as metal impacted metal.&nbsp; Colossus to her credit was able to roll with the impact and fling her foe back right into Ares with great force.&nbsp; If Ares braced for the impact, it was unnecessary.&nbsp; When Creel hit, his body became liquid and so the impact was more of a splash, resulting in a great puddle at Ares' feet.&nbsp; The bad news was that Hydro Man's concentration did not seem to be disrupted by the impact.&nbsp; From the Helicopter, the Wizard's voice could be heard.<br><br><strong>"This is unacceptable!&nbsp; The Frightful Four will not be defeated!&nbsp; I am the Wizard and my power and intellect are unmatched!"</strong><br><br>The door to the helicopter opened and a figure flew out... wearing a red and purple suit of battle armor with a helmet sporting an enlarged cranium.&nbsp; Thick power gloves and boots were worn as well and as he hovered about 30 feet from the ground, a crackling force field surrounded him as he spoke.&nbsp; <br><br>(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/Wizard.jpg)<br><br><strong>"Fools!&nbsp; Tremble before my power!&nbsp; My high tech devices will soon have all of you begging for mercy!"</strong><br><br>He raised a hand and a blast of concentrated electrical energy struck Colossus where she stood.&nbsp; Whatever that was... that actually hurt!&nbsp;

Caroline had disappeared from his rippling view and he assumed that she had understood his gestures but that didn’t ease his situation. The god felt water trickling down his throat as the villain sought a forced entry. Ares thought it best to first disturb the invasion as he released a gush of air from his lungs that left in a swarm of air bubbles from his nostrils. He grasped his helm and quickly removed it as it sank to the asphalt. He covered his nose and mouth with his hands and pressed his thumbs to his ears. What could he do? He had never been in such a helpless situation.<br><br>The metal woman had followed through with his request and his eyes widened in surprise when she lobbed the criminal at him. He was expecting to feel a blow similar to a hammer, but just as the god had theorized, the Absorbing Man had absorbed the liquid that made up Hydroman. Two down, and he thought that only one was left until the low hums of what sounded, even within the water to be a helicopter caught his ears. The villains just kept on coming!<br><br>The rippling image of a man floating in the air had the god’s eyes directed skyward. There was then a flash of what looked like lightning and from what he could make out, it had struck Colossus like a lightning rod. Ares’s eyes narrowed as he felt his lungs beginning to burn. He wasn’t going to make it. The inevitable defeat was a wound to his pride. Defeated by mortals; it was absurd!<br><br>Frowning deeply, the god of war wasn’t about to go down without one final pounce. Releasing his face, his right hand swept down to grasp his helm off the ground. A cloud of air bubbles billowed about his head as his war cry filled his watery prison. Ares turned like a discus thrower and launched the only makeshift weapon he had—his bronze helm—at the Wizard. It probably wasn’t going to do much, but it was the best spit in the face he had for such a creep.<br><br>Ares’s teeth came together as he felt the strain on his lungs as they filled with water and air was forced from his throat on choking breaths. He clenched his fists as he endured the burning sensation. His arms trembled as he resisted the urge to thrash and struggle. He took it like a man—angry to the end—until dark spots speckled his sights. Soon, the god was struggling no more. The weight of his armor had him collapse to the road like a hunk of iron. The god of war had drowned.

She wasn't too worried about Steve skidding across the pavement though. He was a big boy. Besides she had missed the Hydroman and was intent on helping out Ares before it was too late! The smell of gasoline in the air became more prevalent as the helicopter appeared. At first, she thought that maybe it was Shield coming in to help with cleanup, but when she heard the commanding voice over the loud speaker she frowned. Yet another villain to put down. Her bright blue eyes scanned the area for Ares, not worrying over the helicopter for the time being, and saw him losing the battle with the water guy. She could feel her blood boil and fear rising up inside her at the idea that she couldn't help save Ares. These guys had ruined a perfectly good outing and now they were picking on her new friends. Carol was always one to put her friends and loved ones first and even if she didn't know the group that well, they were still her friends and teammates.<br><br><strong>"Stay with me Ares! I'm coming!"</strong><br><br>Building up the momentum within her body she shot forward toward the two of them in a quick spurt of speed and strength, leaving behind only the faintest scent of her sweet and alluring perfume. With superhuman agility and near mach 3 flight speeds, Carol began to whirl around Ares as fast as her powers would allow. The tight turns took a lot of focus and precision on her part but it was a life and death situation to her. She wouldn't allow any super to die on her watch and especially one who hadn't paid for dinner yet. Nearby debris flew up into the vortex she was attempting to create. A tornado of a whirlwind was forming as she continued the same pattern over and over again. Her eyes stayed focused on one spot so she didn't get overly dizzy in her attempts, also it was in truth so she didn't just fly off and smack into a building. The dizziness was sure to come either way, but adding a building to the face was not something she intending on happening today.&nbsp; She had high hopes the fast speeds would send the water based villain flying upward in a spurt akin to a water fountain, which would hopefully in turn alleviate any pressure on the God of War.<br><br><br></span>

				Anger was a rising emotion.&nbsp; Rage was not something she had contended with before.&nbsp; There was simply nothing there that could harm her, nothing that could break her metal skin.&nbsp; Pain shot through her body from the weapon.&nbsp; Teeth ground into one another like the gears of a car pushing together.&nbsp; One hand moved to touch the place he had struck her, but there was no blood.&nbsp; Only pain radiated through her and fists clenched together.&nbsp; Yet he was not the main concern, the pain nothing more than an annoyance compared to the plight of Ares.&nbsp; Behind her a burst of speed was felt more than heard as Caroline slammed through the air to disperse the man.&nbsp; She would help the best way she knew how.<br><br>Around her destruction was made.&nbsp; Part of her wondered if the city would be so thankful for their help.&nbsp; Truth be told the villains could only take so much money in their greedy hands.&nbsp; Did the money amount to this destruction.&nbsp; The thought was fleeting.&nbsp; Too late for regrets.&nbsp; Both hands grasped a chunk of asphalt and her eyes turned to the hydrate.&nbsp; She would at least slow his source of power before she made her challenge.&nbsp; Chunks of slap were soon rammed into the surface of the hydrate.&nbsp; Pressure would build up, but she hoped the hydrate would turn off from the pressure.&nbsp; She doubted the thing would continue spurting water.&nbsp; Her foot crashed down atop the concrete so that she drive it down deep and secure.<br><br>Her voice came more as a roar.&nbsp; A shock perhaps to those that had heard her so meekly before.&nbsp; “Come on water boy.&nbsp; Let’s see what you got.&nbsp; Already took care of one of you.”<br>

				Colossus effectively shut off the water supply that may or may not have been empowering Hydro Man by literally stomping it shut with strength that could hurl tanks like paperweights.&nbsp; As Ares dropped to his knees and his vision began to blur, Ms Marvel was there, moving so fast and precise that she literally created a vortex of air, pulling everything that it could up.&nbsp; Ares was very heavy, his Olympian body far denser than human tissue, and so he remained where he was.&nbsp; Hydro Man was not so lucky as he and much of the water that had been pooled around his feet, including what Creel had transformed into was forceably pulled up... even the water that had invaded Ares' lungs was pulled up and out, spinning with the vortex and spraying in every direction once it reached the top.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"What are you... stop that!&nbsp; Nooooooooo!"</strong><br><br>It would be quite awhile before the villains would be able to reconstitute themselves.&nbsp; Ares felt the sweet taste of fresh air again, though he would be coughing up a bit of excess water before he could fully recover.&nbsp; Carol's luck ran out, however as the dizziness overtook her and she flew out of the vortex, skidding in a deep trench caused by her own nigh invulnerable body before she skipped and hit a post box, which all but exploded, letters flying everywhere.&nbsp; &nbsp;Thankfully she finally stopped, but it was not a graceful landing and she would discover to her horror that her clothes were not invulnerable.&nbsp; She was still covered up, but just barely... her tattered outfit left little to the imagination.&nbsp; The vortex would quickly dissipate.&nbsp; &nbsp; The Wizard continued to gloat, despite the rest of his Frightful Four being defeated in front of him.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"I will not be defeated so easily, heroes!"</strong><br><br>Captain America's shield spun through the air like a disk-shaped bullet... his aim was perfect, the intent to hit the Wizard's gauntlet and ricochet the shield to strike the whirling helicopter blades.&nbsp; However, that aim was interrupted by the force field that kept him safe from such attacks.&nbsp; The shield instead banked off and clipped the side of the helicopter before landing with great force between Ms Marvel's legs, the disk embedding into the concrete like a great buzz saw, where it stopped, just short of actually hitting her.&nbsp; The Wizard laughed, as if triumph was all but his.&nbsp; He snapped his fingers and a panel on the helicopter opened and 6 goons with high tech pistols and fancy purple suits rappelled down to the ground.&nbsp; The Wizard pointed at the heroes and exclaimed.<br><strong><br>"Destroy the heroes!"</strong><br><br>Taking two metal disks from his armor, he threw them down to the ground, where each attached to one of the pilfered bags of cash... the bags began to levitate, moving at a steady pace toward the helicopter.&nbsp; The goons opened fire on the gathered heroes.&nbsp; The laser blasts could scarcely even be felt by Ares and Colossus and Ms Marvel simply absorbed the energy.&nbsp; Captain America however would need to take evasive action.

He scrabbled for cover behind a turned over car and managed to look back at the scene behind him. The entire time he was waiting for some back up, for the heroes he had expected to arrive on scene and realized he was among them. Carol had flown off and he worried for her, luckily his shield followed which was his next priority. <br><br>The barrage of blasts kept coming so he was forced to stay low, throw himself onto the ground and even roll towards her between cover of ruined cars and pieces of the city. <br>"Carol? Carol?" He checked to see if she was breathing before he pulled his shield from between her legs. "Don't mind me." He explained before he strapped it onto his arm and ran with it up towards the other two. Steve did not recognize them in their current form, one was all steel the other was all muscle.<br><br>"Hey, you guys alright?" He asked, noticing that for the first time ever he felt short of wind.

Streams rose from his mouth and nostrils, the abnormal bonding brought by Hydroman had the water snaking from his lungs. Ares awoke on a cough and soon his throat began heaving up a few ounces. He slowly managed to recover to his knees, his head still hung as the whirling winds pulled at his shoulders and hair. The god held his ground for though he may have been heavy, in his current elevated state, he could have been whisked away like a block of cement. His vision blurred as he stared at the ground and then to what was across from him. Standing by leaking pile of rubble was the shining Caroline. The water Hydroman had been using to assault him was plugged up.<br><br>The twister soon went spiraling out of control from what he could feel. The whipping winds dissipated and he quickly glanced over his shoulder to see Ms. Marvel flung from her own winding creation. Her landing was worrisome but the blonde, shield-wielding hero was immediately on the case, doing the god a big favor in checking to see if she was okay. As much as it angered him to have been saved by a mortal, he owed Carol and Caroline a debt.<br><br>As for the current situation, Ares couldn’t suppress the grin that parted his lips. Anger was passing like hot water through his veins and it had been so potent that the god couldn’t help but laugh. The sadism; the great desire to kill someone had always tickled him. The villains had struck his last nerve, and after having his divine pride pissed on, if there were going to be anymore guests, they’ll wish they never got the memo.<br><br>Ares’s right fist struck the asphalt like a sledge hammer as he released some of his pint up fury. With that same hand, he held it out as his bronze helm winked into its clutches and he returned it to his head. His eyes blazed with his rage as he rose to his feet to gaze down the street at the growing problem.<br><br>“Heh, heh, no more games...” Ares said ominously as the golden collar began to gleam about his throat, reacting to his killer intent.<br><br><strong>Can you get the chopper down? I’ll take the goons!</strong><br><br>The blonde guardian had been punctual with his request. Ares had every desire to charge like an enraged bull into the gaggle and whoever found the misfortune to get in his way would suffer whatever consequences Fate had in store. Scowling deeply, his eyes raised from the gun-wielding men to the chopper and the money bags the wizard was trying to steal.<br><br>“To the victor go the spoils!” Ares declared. His grin intensified. “I see no victor before me.’<br><br>Just thinking about his previous strategies with Colossus, Ares immediately had a plan. The fire dissipated from his eyes when he glanced to the iron maiden. “Iron Maiden, can you take down that eagle if I give you wings?” he asked.<br><br>The god was very old when it came to his jargon, but he meant he planned to throw her. He dropped to one knee and folded his hands into a cup for her foot.<br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Energy flashed across her skin with little regard.&nbsp; Metallic flesh brushed away each blast without her notice while she turned her eyes toward the man that was before her.&nbsp; Slowly her head tilted to the side with a distinct crack of metal against metal, shoulders rolled back so that her chest sprung forward in a display of her strength.&nbsp; Across her chest lay only a tattered cloth while below the skirt had become little more than a suggestion of modesty.&nbsp; One shapely leg eased forward to settle into his outstretched hands.&nbsp; Toes flexed in preparation for the launch and her fingers curled down into her palm to suppress the anger she felt.&nbsp; <br><br>Ahead of her the helicopter floated while the man laughed.&nbsp; Eyes that had lost their spark of humanity and their shyness of a girl set upon by bullies stared forward at the man.&nbsp; This was larger than simply pushing around others or making snide remarks.&nbsp; He had cost the city, cost the people and threatened her newfound friends.&nbsp; A calm anger built into something dark and more disconcerting. <br><br>“Fine, the helicopter is mine.”</span><br><br>Ares chuckled malevolently from behind his teeth as he witnessed Caroline’s fighting spirit. What happened to the delicate flower he had been dating? She had become the Amazon that he had desired from the first time they made eye contact. This was what he saw locked away and hidden, and it disappointed him a little to see that this attitude was being used against his enemy. It may not ever manifest again (against him that is).<br><br>As Colossus’s metal foot settled into his hands, Ares spread his feet to bear her weight and bent his legs at the knees. Once her full weight had settled into his hold, he alerted, “Ready yourself!”<br><br>Ares charged, bellowing one of his infamous roars as he gathered the momentum and strength he would need to launch the metallic beauty into the air. After ten steps, the god braked, bending forward, using the muscles in his back, arms, and legs. Briefly, Colossus was lowered towards the asphalt. The soles of his boots slid across the turf and just before the momentum had reached its peak, Ares forced his arms upwards. He forced all that built-up energy and strength into Colossus, giving her the god-induced propulsion she needed to go flying like a missile toward the helicopter.<br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Gravity fled beneath her body.&nbsp; Light flashed over her as she raced forward toward the suspended craft.&nbsp; Anger flashed in her eyes before her hands reached out to grasp the instrument of their suffering.&nbsp; Digits crafted of steel crunched down on the flesh of the metal bird.&nbsp; She felt momentum swing her forward, press at her to relinquish the grip.&nbsp; Gravity would not be so easily thwarted, but neither would she.&nbsp; Determination set on her features while her other hand reached over to make its imprint on the helicopter.&nbsp; Muscles flexed over her shoulders as she held her place there, securing herself before making the progress forward to deal with the true threat.&nbsp; One hand, then another.&nbsp; Unlike the anger of Ares, hers could wait for its moment to be quenched.</span>

The wind was knocked out of her and she sat there in a daze for the moment. When the shield bounced across the sky and landed with a metallic "twanng" between her legs she jerked her eyes open in time to see Steve reaching down. <br><br><em>"Carol? Carol? ........ Don't mind me." </em><br><br>A pinkness blushed her cheeks as he grabbed his shield. Looking down she then noticed the state of her clothing and that just did more to cause the pink to shift shades toward red. Her skirt had been shredded to a point it was just hanging down from the buttoned waistband. She looked like, at that point, she only had panties on with the hanging denim tassels. Lucky for her she had a habit of putting on clean underwear before going out on dinner dates. The pale pink cotton bikini briefs were dirtied up by the filth of the street but they were intact. The white button down blouse on the other hand was shredded to a point where it was more like a tattered cloth, dangling in strips from her chest and had holes throughout the arms and back, which was almost completely gone. For the most part her chest was still covered, only giving glimpses of her matching lacy bra. She had lost her shoes somewhere in the flight from the whirlwind and who knew where they ended up. <br><br>Carol stood up shakily and barefoot, and pushed back her long, now dirty, golden locks before she took in a slow deep breath. She watched as Ares hoisted Caroline upward into the air toward the helicopter. Trying to clear the cobwebs from her frazzled head she looked around for what to do next. Try to catch Caroline? The guy in the copter had to be taken into custody, not allowed escape should the helicopter go down. She blinked a few times as she thought it over and rubbed at her back side. There was no real injury there, just her pride bruised by the dizziness that she didn't count on happening. That was something to train up on more at the base. For now... Ms Marvel had to figure out how to take out that magic guy.</span>

				Steve's shield hit one of the thugs' heads with a smack, before ricocheting and hitting another one of them just as he was about to fire at the hero.&nbsp; Captain America made shockingly short work of the goons, who seemed unable to keep up with the super soldier's near superhuman reflexes and superior combat instincts.&nbsp; Soon the shield wielding hero found himself standing amidst six unconscious henchmen, their blasters strewn out about the area.&nbsp; <br><br>As Ares launched Colossus at the helicopter, the Wizard steadied himself for impact in case he was the target.&nbsp; No, it seemed they were after his vehicle!&nbsp; His eyes widened and a look of anger crossed his face even as the metallic heroine flew past him and struck and held onto the the nose of the chopper, which lurched with the impact.&nbsp; The horrified pilot's eyes grew wide as he struggled to maintain altitude, watching as the large steel form of the female mutant outside of his window held on with impossible strength... the tail of the chopper swung swiftly with the impact, crashing into the Wizard's force field.&nbsp; This caused the back rotors to spark and bend, the rotation ceasing.&nbsp; The helicopter now had no way to steer, and almost as though the tail had hit a rubber wall, it began to spin the opposite direction... plummeting toward the ground where a little boy stood, wide eyed at his impending doom.&nbsp; His mother cried out from the bank, but she was too far away to reach him.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"Jimmy!"</strong><br><br>With Carol in a temporary daze and Ares in the midst of a battle fury, can anyone move quickly enough to save the boy?&nbsp; The Wizard yelled out in anger.&nbsp; This was inconceivable!&nbsp; He had tracked the whereabouts of the known heroes in the city... who were these people and where did they come from?&nbsp; The loss of the helicopter would eat up any profit from the single large bag of cash that he now had in his force field with him.&nbsp; His Frightful Four were defeated... perhaps it was better to cut his losses and flee.&nbsp; His ego bristled at the thought, but his intellect won out.<br><strong><br>"You have won this day, heroes... but I will not forget this!&nbsp; I'll get even when you least expect it!"</strong><br><br>The thrusters on his boots kicked fully in and he rocketed up skyward, attempting to escape before it got too much for even he to handle.&nbsp; Hopefully the fools would be too worried about saving that brat to chase after him.&nbsp;

As the helicopter was having a little trouble staying airborne from the abrupt increase in weight, the god had charged across the street to his bronze helm to scoop it up and return it to his head. He then continued his stride into an alley where he began scaling the fire escape. He had leapt to the steel railing above him and effortlessly pulled himself upwards. He leapt from one railing to the next, grasping the rails and moving across the grating with the grace of a trapeze artist. There was only one person on his mind, and it wasn’t Jimmy.<br><br>Jimmy was one of those potential accidents in war where a man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time got screwed by fate. Ares had seen many warriors die around him, and there hadn’t been one moment where he had attempted to save them. He was the god of war and bloodshed; the god of murder; and the mortals were witnessing his role firsthand.<br><br>The Wizard, the orchestrator of calamity, was the only being on his mind. Stopping The Wizard meant winning the war not saving Jimmy. Jimmy, if not saved, would die with honor or stupidity for being yards from his mother’s embrace for not even the gods knew why.<br><br>The chopper had gone down and as Ares reached the rooftop, The Wizard bade his goodbyes like an overconfident mortal. He and his group of shit-talking girls had been underestimating him throughout the entire battle. They must have truly thought that he wasn’t the god of war. Well, now, someone was about to get a frightful awakening, and God wasn’t going to be there.<br><br>The god charged across the rooftop. His powerful arms swung and his feet propelled him across the space. His muscles rippled with the explosive bursts of power that carried him toward the edge of the roof like a Boeing prepared to lift off. His teeth were bared in that wild dog look he was known for, a deep frown of furious determination casting an ominous shadow over the god’s face. His eyes blazed white with malice, flashing brighter once the ball of his foot came down upon the edge of the roof. The cement edge shattered as though a hammer had collided with it.<br><br>Ares launched into the air in an arch, heading right above The Wizard. His hands locked together above his head and he cranked them back, his eyes burning above the white skull of his chest plate as his pectorals swelled beneath it. The god’s timing was as punctual as ever as The Wizard activated his rocket boots to unknowingly soar right into the god’s attack. Ares’s golden collar began shining brilliantly as he swung his fists downward like a sledgehammer. The Wizard’s force field was probably the only thing that would save him from the brunt of the unearthly collision, but the god had been gambling that the impact would send him like a meteor down to earth.

Steve sprinted as fast as he possibly could towards the boy, dreading he would miss the boy my milliseconds and also be a causality of the wayward chopper. With no extra time to doubt himself he flicked the shield onto the asphalt as he grabbed the boy and timed his back landing onto it just right. The shield was used like a slide, dragged his feet behind him. The friction of the asphalt ripping his sneakers apart before he lifted his feet enough to send him spinning wildly down the street with the momentum and a crashing fireball singing at the soles of his feet. It looked like a koopa shell, a turtle on its back spinning away to safety but as soon as he had a chance Steve rolled onto his front and slid along the street. His jeans quickly took on a grunge look and his scrapped his knees and legs enough to give him a good case of road rash. <br><br>With Jimmy still safely in one arm, his hand reached for his shield and without thinking he spun like an Olympic discus thrower to gain some momentum. He saw Ares, saw the hammer fist about to bitch slap the wizard into the earth and if Steve did his math right and the man with the forcefield had no other tricks up his sleeve he was about to experience a combo in gaming terms. The shield ripped out of his hand, setting a course just below the location of the leader of the filthy four's current location. Steve was panting and he was sure Jmmy was dizzy but he was very much alive...<strong> "You all right kid?"</strong> He asked, setting him down and keeping a protective stance over by him in case any other threats emerged suddenly.

Moving under the machine just at its 'legs' she gripped as tight as she could and pushed to maneuver it away from the city. It looked very much like a superhero move but she wasn't exactly thinking of how it appeared to onlookers.

Biting at her lower lip, Carol maintained her position and hoped for the best. Her mind reeling with possibilities of the situations outcome. </span>

				Jimmy's eyes were wide, at first in fear as the helicopter careened toward him and then to excitement as the heroic Captain America slid like a turtle on it's back to save the boy in an impressive display of athleticism.&nbsp; The helicopter would have hit the ground in a terrible crash, despite the efforts of Colossus in the cockpit had Ms Marvel not intervened.&nbsp; As she sped to fly to the helicopter she seemed like a blur and then she was in front and below the massive Russian chopper, gripping it with massive superhuman strength.&nbsp; The helicopter offered some resistance but she found herself able to maneuver it away from the ground, back up into the air even as the pilot fearfully did as he was told and stopped the engine.&nbsp; Shit.&nbsp; He was going to jail... he was going to jail... but at least he was alive.&nbsp; The blades still spun, but in time they would stop and the resistance was lessened.&nbsp; The twelve ton craft was well within her ability to lift at that point and she was able to set it down atop a nearby building.&nbsp; The pilot sighed and slumped... glancing to Ms Marvel, and then back to Colossus.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"Uh... I'm going to jail, aren't I?"</strong><br><br>The immediate disaster averted, Ares had leaped from a building to crash downward on the Wizard who had been attempting to escape.&nbsp; The sheer velocity was intense... akin to jumping on a cannonball fired straight up in an attempt to stop it from doing so.&nbsp; But Ares was mighty indeed and as he struck the force field, it flickered and his movement was halted and reversed, the villain slammed downward with little protection right into the hurled shield of Captain America.&nbsp; There was a very audible clang as the villain struck the indestructible shield.&nbsp; The shield went skidding across the pavement into a shallow alley.&nbsp; The Wizard hit the pavement, barely conscious, with Ares standing atop him.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"None... can thwart... my genius... uhn"...</strong><br><br>Little Jimmy's mother came rushing over to him and Steve, frantically hugging her son.&nbsp; She was an attractive young woman of about 24 with long slightly frazzled brown hair.&nbsp; Once she was sure that her son was ok, she turned to Captain America with a wide eyed look on her face.<br><br><strong>"Thank you so much... you saved my baby.&nbsp; Are you... Captain America?&nbsp; I recognize that shield from the history books."</strong><br><br>She almost felt stupid for asking the question, but there it was... a crowd began to gather around and pictures were being taken everywhere you looked, though people tended to keep their distance from Ares.&nbsp; In the distance, sirens could be heard.

Everyone he had once known were dead but he was still a young man, the memories of how he had been held in stasis so long returning. He had yet to respond to the mother but he nodded at long last. <strong>"Yea...I guess I am." </strong> Steve answered, not sounding to sure of it, it was not that he lacked the confidence on who he was. This day had been the final piece of the puzzle he needed to fit into place. <br><strong>"Your welcome ma'am, excuse me." </strong><br>He excused himself, moving to get to his shield and help the others in any way he could.

				Colossus watched the descent with a passive air.&nbsp; There was no thrill over the possible crash or any elation when her companion brought the vehicle down.&nbsp; Caroline had little to fear from the experience and her only concern was for the safety of the pilot.&nbsp; One hand reached down to grasp the buckle of the pilot’s restraints, crushing the device and twisting so that there would be no release without police intervention.&nbsp; That was her simple answer to his question before she stepped away from the helicopter.&nbsp; There was not much else to be said.&nbsp; Eyes drifted to see people gather around Steve and she knew the time for her exit was at hand.&nbsp; <br><br>A blush crept across her cheeks as she let the metal skin fade into her usual tone.&nbsp; Tattered strips of cloth clung to her muscular curves, barely concealing the less modest portions of her body.&nbsp; Her arms moved up to brace her body and provide more cover while she plunged forward through the city.&nbsp; Carefully she tried to navigate the alleyways, to remain out of the public view while making good speed for her home.&nbsp; The dress was ruined along with her date.&nbsp; Caroline desperately hoped she could salvage some part of the night by remaining unseen.<br>

She'd leave the pilot as Caroline had him and wondered if Ares took care of the big guy. Flying over toward Speed Demon she picked him up and deposited him in the same place as the pilot. With a cursory glance around she noted Ares leaving down an alley and the piled up body of the magic man. She had wanted to speak with the God before he left to find out just how he got there and such but time was of the essence. She grabbed up the only other visible villain, placing him with the other two for the police to take care of. Hopefully shield would be along to deal with them as the police really couldn't handle two of those three. In fact she looked over toward Steve then and couldn't help but smile at his heroics.<br><br><strong>"Hey Cap! You have your comm card on you? You might wanna call base and have someone come down to get these guys. I need to find my purse....."</strong> she looked down at her clothing and the looks she was getting from some of the bystanders...<strong>"... and some clothing... I'm sure this is going to look great on the front page tomorrow!"</strong><br><br>She sighed some with a blush when finally a gentleman offered her his coat. Accepting it graciously she tugged it over her to cover up with a promise to return it to him. Soon after she looked back over toward her teammate and moved over to his side. They'd have to speak with the authorities but hopefully with his better state of dress than her own, he could do that. After all, he was Captain America, and as far as she was concerned he was their team leader.</span>

No...just a good Samaritan</em><hr><br>For most of the battle every civilian with a block hid and tried to stay away as the villains attacked and the few who responded happened to be at the right place at the right time. The adrenaline from the battle was fading but Steve did not feel a sliver of fatigue, only hungry. Ares, wherever he came from, was now gone and so was Colossus leaving only him and Carol. He would have given her the shirt off his own back but a man had the decency to let her borrow his coat. With shield in hand he looked around, preparing to escape along with the rest when he was beckoned over by the police officer that was speaking with Little Johnny's mother. <br><br>Steve was calling in what had happened, the credit card sized device still felt foreign to him but he was adjusting to technology in the current age. He did not know who he spoke with, but the call had been made and he needed to palm the device before anyone asked any questions about it. <br><br>"Cap'n!" The young man in the worried mother's arm called out. Steve smiled but said nothing to the young man as the officer began to question him about what had happened right away. Steve Rogers had not even noticed a few campers had turned onto him, a few had bits and pieces of the story but the current clip circulating was of Steve running under the falling helicopter to save Johnny in the nick of time. <br><br>The detective eyes the young man, asking who he was, why he was in the area to which he replied. <strong>"Just a good Samaritan...to be honest I was looking for a place to eat, I hadn't eaten lunch yet."</strong> He added, the woman and the young boy looked at him before he asked if there was anything else they needed? A full round of questions might be brought up later at the police station but the detective had no reason to hold any of the avengers responsible for what had happened. They had cuffed the bad guys and S.H.E.I.L.D. had been called. The woman gave Steve a hug and thanked him one more time, whispering that she would keep his secret. Was it such a big deal? Steve was not fully aware of the tensions between mutants and humans but he was no mutant. <strong>"Have a good day ma'am." </strong>He said politely to her before waving good bye to her and giving the kid a high five. All of it was on live news and even if he was being chased after he led Carol away he waited until they were alone. <br><strong>"Crazy day." </strong>

The shield team would be along shortly to handle the supervillians she was sure. For now, they wouldn't be causing any trouble. She was glad to have such a good group of heroes on her side, even if she didn't know where the God of War came from. He was a mystery and left in just the same manner. Tugging the coat around her some she went glassy eyed for a moment reliving the events before she heard Steve speaking with the detective. A slight chuckle and grin emerged then and she watched as he moved over to her.<br><br><strong>"Just a good Samaritan eh?"</strong><br><br>Slipping her arms around herself she looked up at the attractive Avenger and gave him a lopsided smile. It had been a long day to be sure and a shower and fresh clothes, even some food would be a good thing then. She sighed a little tiredly and slipped an arm around her fellow teammate and leaned against him for a little support.<br><br><strong>"Long day doesn't begin to cover it. I'm hungry and filthy. Wanna get some pizza or something and find a comfortable place to curl up and watch the news? I'm sure there's bound to be a handsome hero on there."</strong><br><br>Carol couldn't help but smile at her own flirting however awkward it was. Her mind did drift to Caroline and John however. John just disappeared when they needed him. That kind of hurt a bit. She had expected a fellow Avenger to stick around and at least help with bystanders. He just vanished. </span>

Logan asked impassively, his attention had been on the bottle he was pouring into a 4oz glass, enough liquor that would make any normal man buckle. The pour ceased and the cigar was lowered to lay across an ash tray between the two. The amber colored filled glass was brought to his lips and he quickly drank it down without a change in his stoic countenance. Logan did not drink like a teenager, that was clearly obvious. <br><br>The cigar was tucked into the opposite corner of his mouth (the one not facing hers) for him to puff on as he poured another glass. His eyes turned to her for a moment. "Few weeks, they found me up in Canada somewhere from what they are telling me." Logan shared in his gravelly sounding tone. "The mutt from tonight, just met him so if he is your boyfriend or something I ain't apologizing...he started it." He added defensively, assuming they were connected somehow since they had showed up in the same day.

				Name/Alias:&nbsp; Jessica Drew / Spider-Woman <br>Origin: Alterd Human<br>Location: Grungy Bar in Downtown NY<br>Tagged: Logan / Wolverine <br>(http://mnetafrica.dstv.com/wp-content/themes/mnetafrica//functions/rsrc.php?src=http://mnetafrica.dstv.com/blogs.dir/5/files/2011/11/Lyndsy_Fonseca_Nikita_Profi.jpg&amp;h=299&amp;w=300&amp;zc=1)<br><br>Jessica raised her eyebrow when Logan asked if she was hinting for him to go back to her place. <br>Given the circumstances of her lifestyle she`d never had a boyfriend ore even kissed a guy. But she was curious about sex like all teenagers. Still she was just trying to make conversation with someone who was very hard to talk to. He looked like a teenager sure but his attitude and the fact he was smokeing a cigar indercated he was much older. Mabye he was gifted with rapid ageing, which could mean he was older then her grandparents. Ore he could just be very old fashioned and "Grew up fast" just as she had. <br><br>He asked if the "Mutt" was her boyfriend. That he`d just met him. "Ive been working for SHEILD. And no the were guy is not my boyfriend ore collegue. I came to the Avengers in hopes of joining. I have given the solo thing a go and discoverd it`s not for me. Besides I never finished any formal education and hoped mabye you "Seasond" heroes could give me some tips on balancing super-heroics with school." She finished her drink, feeling rather un-easy in his presence. <br>"You drink alot." She noted as she stared at his beverage. "Life really that bad hu?"&nbsp;

He had been a natural loner for as long as he could remember but he was not about to get into a debate over it. "Blend in?"<em>There is no blending in!"Well... for one don't show up to class in what you did earlier in the hallway."</em> Logan teased her with a grin before knocking back another drink but failed to show any kind of effect to the hard liquor he had nearly drained.<br><br>"I really wish I knew..." Logan mumbled between puffs. "Some drink to forget, I do it to remember." He added before knocking back another glass.

The one thing he had taken advantage of since awakening a few&nbsp; decades into the future was his access to an expense account but he was not irresponsible with his purchases, except for one he asked for approval for. "I got a Harley Fatboy back in the Tower's garage, my old Hog is a relic apparently and not fitted for daily use. Not sure you want to be straddling with what you are wearing." Steve explained fully oblivious to the innuendo. <br><br>"How far? I have not gone past a few blocks away from the tower, always within walking distance.New York is a lot different now from when I knew it." He tried to bring up his years as an icicle as little as possible but it was unavoidable when people asked about what he had been up to, when he was born and various other tidbits of information that did not match his age to his appearance. "Sox fan? Please! I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I am not up to date on everything, no time but my allegiance have not faltered." He scoffed when she teased him about being a Boston fan. "lead the way." Steve confirmed, also not minding if she drove since he was not sure where exactly she was taking him.

"Off course not...it's not like I only support..." He was about to go into some long gibbering excuse on how he did not just support anything American, but luckily their was a distraction with unfortunate news. <br><br><em><strong>"Avengers, this is Commander Hill of SHIELD.&nbsp; We have a situation that requires your team's immediate attention.&nbsp; Doctor Doom has commandeered 24 SHIELD orbital weapons platforms, each with the power to destroy a city.&nbsp; He has threatened to begin doing just that, starting with New York in 24 hours if his demands aren't met... he wants the world and he's crazy enough to kill millions to get it.&nbsp; We've located his ship, cloaked and hovering just above the Latverian embassy.&nbsp; Talk to Stark.&nbsp; He may be able to get you closer and enable you to see the ship, which we believe Doom himself is on.&nbsp; Get that ragtag team together and show us what you can do."</strong></em><br><br>Steve's confusion quickly cascaded of his face as he heard the message. The hand that was opening the passenger door ceased as he gripped at the strap of his backpack a little tighter. "Rain check, We have to assemble." He insisted firmly before he closed the door and ran off towards the tower without her. Storm had given him the communicator the night before, he had not even learned how it functioned fully just yet. <br><br>(Steve makes his way back to the tower, Link Incoming)
