For lastvoyages: Tuesday Night Dream of Awesomeness

[scarlet_discord]

   [Wanda keeps her eyes front and her hands at her sides, struggling to be professional as she can as she walks beside the shadowy figure who is briefing her. She has no idea who it is; only that he was male and seems somehow cloaked, made partly invisible, anonymized. He is telling her about her new assignment with SHIELD; her responsibilities, and the rules in general. She nods along, trying to commit it all to memory as they walk down the long steel hallway toward the briefing room.]

Yes sir. No sir, no problems, sir.

[They are reaching the briefing room, and as they draw near she feels her stomach flip over. Beyond that door are her new teammates. The people she would keep safe and depend on to keep her safe no matter what crazy crap they were thrown up against. Her new family, this one earned and bound through common cause and mutual risk. The people whose very presence would remind her what she was fighting for day in and day out.]

[He stops, and lets her walk forward ahead of him to open the door.]



[[OOC: Your character is now a costume hero on Wanda's new team. Will she squee or be stunned? What will their first mission be like?]]

[Mr Paris is behind this, is Seven's first thought, as she takes in her costume, which resembled her outfit on Voyager, though a metallic glove and a visor added. She felt a pang of disappointment once she realised that unlikelihood but smiled when she saw Wanda.] Hello.

[scarlet_discord]

Seven! [She's so relieved to see someone she knows that she bounces over for a rather undignified glomp.]

[not_annika]

[Seven, not a hugger by nature, is surprised but not put out by the hug, putting her arms around her.]

[scarlet_discord]

I'm so damn glad we're gonna be on a team together! Did you take time off, or did they do some kind of worker exchange?

[acid_rayne]

[Meanwhile, the Crimson Avenger is dressed like a techno-version of herself, complete with blades made out of red light! Except, they're not turned on... Yet.]

So, when do we kill stuff?

Ahem... Hurt stuff, I mean.

[not_annika]

The latter, I believe. [She casts a disapproving eye at Rayne.]

[scarlet_discord]

Oh come on guys, there's room for both diplomacy and ass-kicking on this team. Sometimes we'll be talking to people, sometimes breaking heads. It all depends on what the dossier says.

[acid_rayne]

Diplomacy...? Really? That's what we get hired to do?

[ALL THE CONFUSION.]

[not_annika]

[Seven sighs.] Evidently.

[scarlet_discord]

[Wanda took the dossier out from under her arm and opened it, sharing copies around.]

OK, we have a bank robbery with hostages. They are using stolen Stark technology--long range rifles, mostly. There are four snipers who will reduce the building to rubble with the hostages inside if we don't disable all four at once.

[not_annika]

[Seven opens her file and examines the contents.] Do we know how they keep in contact?

[scarlet_discord]

That's the second bit of bad news. [She showed a schematic of some of the other stolen tech.] Cutting edge in-ear communicators. I would hesitate to say unhackable, but they'll probably be a real pain to break into.

[not_annika]

[She would need time to do that, anyway, so she dismisses it.] Then we should create a distraction.

[scarlet_discord]

I'm all for that. Here's the satellite photo of the site. Anything we do will have to distract all of them long enough for all four to be disabled. Then we have to go in and rescue the hostages.

I can provide the distraction.

[not_annika]

How so? [She'd like to mostly because well, if she's distracted by the distraction, then it's not exactly useful.]

[scarlet_discord]

If I concentrate hard enough I could glitch out their equipment long enough for us to jump them.

[acid_rayne]

Well... For what it's worth, bullets don't, y'know... I mean, they hurt like a bitch, but I can soak 'em up.

Not that I'd look forward to it, but...

[not_annika]

If they are well trained, they will not take well to such interference. [Rayne's comment draws her attention.] The hostages, however, would not be so fortunate.

[hungryanhorny]

[So, this totally counts as a costume right? 'Cause really, it's just about all Faith's wearing right now as she looks over her new team leader...]

[scarlet_discord]

Holy shit you look smokin', girl! How do you feel? Did you get one of those cool foldaway swords and stuff?

[hungryanhorny]

Bet your ass. [Her cute ass, dream-Faith couldn't help but notice, pushing off from the table with a little swagger. Damn.]

[scarlet_discord]

[Wanda took the dossier out from under her arm and opened it, sharing copies around.]

OK, we have a bank robbery with hostages. They are using stolen Stark technology--long range rifles, mostly. There are four snipers who will reduce the building to rubble with the hostages inside if we don't disable all four at once.

[hungryanhorny]

Damn... [She whistled.] We got a plan for this?

guh sorry this is so late

[restoringhonor]

[Zuko's standing a little off to the side from the rest of the team, wearing his Blue Spirit outfit, but with the mask tucked under his arm. He smiles a little at Wanda - maybe they did stuff together before this assignment, who knows - but he's still very much the same generally serious guy, and his expression goes back to serious and focused fairly quickly, ready to get the details and get to work.]

[scarlet_discord]

[She offers a smile in return, then nods and hands him a copy of the dossier.] Bank job, hostages, four guys with stolen Stark energy cannons ready to snipe the place to rubble on top of them. We have to disable the snipers without their taking a shot.
