Phoenix Under Attack!

That's the headline people are trying to avoid.

The Hulk doesn't care. His gait brings him ever closer to the populated city, and so far, nothing seems to stop it.

There's hope that the sandstorm that just kicked up might buy them more time. A sandstorm that's the doing of Crusader, the new girl carrying Thor's hammer and Captain America's shield, who's crazy enough to try to face the Hulk without the help of her team, who have been held up by dealing with some other U.S. agent.

The storm doesn't stop him. It only slows him.

Slightly.

"Well, if your Thor still has his hammer, that ought to set off some alarm bells, anyway. Right now, though, I just need to lie down for a bit, then everyone can tell me what's going on... again."

"Morph? Can you give her a cot or something, until we can find someone who can play doctor with her?"

Er.

"Really didn't mean it like it sounded."

Then, he looks to the flaming biker chick, then back to Barnes.

"Is that one of yours, then?"

"I thought she was with you. Ghost Rider's a man around here."

"Thanks Spider... but I'd rather fly than trust the plastic pervert to carry me around. Just... hope we can rest somewhere close."

[identity profile] proteus-maximus.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
"I am not a pervert. Sheesh, you embarass ONE busfull of nuns.."

[identity profile] spidey2099.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Go team. Everybody hates everybody.

His eyes widen as his head jerks to the Tallus.

"Oh boy. Yes, I'd say we've screwed this one up."

Sarah sits down next to Spider Man. She doesn't necessarily like his antagonism towards some of the rest of the team... not that she's a lot better where Morph is concerned, but she still doesn't trust him with teenage girls... herself included. But at least she trusts Spider-Man some... and Nocturne.

"Oh? We were supposed to save the Hulk? Great."

He doesn't respond for a long moment. Listening to the thing repeat its mantra. Trying to discern what it means.

Finally, he repeats it.

"Stop the monster you've created."

He really doesn't like how that sounds.

The rider comes up to Spiderman and Crusader. Her whole bearing one of "now what?"

[identity profile] spidey2099.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Speaking of monsters...

"So where the shock did you come from?"

[identity profile] uneasy-rider.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
She looks around and then slowly shrugs.

[identity profile] spidey2099.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
He squints. Her head is bright.

"Then who the shock are you? Buckeroo over there said... what was it? Ghost Rider?"

[identity profile] spidey2099.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
His jaw tightens.

"Are you going to be any help whatsoever?"

[identity profile] rogue-starsr.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Sarah looks kind of dazed, her voice a little more distant, as adrenaline dies down. "She's the Ghost Rider. Mephisto's bounty hunter, or that was the idea. In my world, Johnny Blaze turned it on him, and used the ability to find and punish evil as a hero... no idea who this one is. Johnny... in my world... died fighting the Sentinels."

[identity profile] uneasy-rider.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
She seems to perk up at the idea of the words Johnny Blaze. She picks up a stick and writes "Roxanne," and then points to herself.

[identity profile] rogue-starsr.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Sarah glances at her through blurry eyes. "I'm sorry. I should know you, but by the time I got to Earth, Johnny Blaze had been dead for fifteen years. But if you're allied with Johnny, then you're probably ok... I'm Sarah."

[identity profile] uneasy-rider.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
She hears that news and sinks to her knees with grief in front of the other woman.

[identity profile] rogue-starsr.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sarah reaches out for the Ghost Rider, trying to be comforting, even if she's seeing a couple of her at the moment. At least she's seemingly unworried about the flames.
"In my world, most of the heroes are dead. And the villains even... superhumans... killed by the sentinels. Just a few left." she shakes her head, trying to stay coherent and focused.

[identity profile] uneasy-rider.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
She gets up and nods. then, she does a power arm shake with Crusader.

She has a new friend.

[identity profile] spidey2099.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
There's a tilt of his head.

"Waaaait a minute," he starts, to the skullface. "Did the Timebroker send you here?"

[identity profile] uneasy-rider.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
She looks to him and shrugs. She writes two more words.

"FIRST DAY"

[identity profile] spidey2099.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
Shockin' hell, another one.

He regards her flaming skull for a long time.

"And there's no way we can even hook you up with a communicator earpiece."

If it can't talk, there's not even a REASON to, anyway.

[identity profile] uneasy-rider.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
The answer is another shrug.

The lady seems to talk fine during the day...

[identity profile] proteus-maximus.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, nice to have you aboard. We'll figure out something for communicating. Any idea what monster we've created? Maybe the Hulk's death triggered something?"

"Or maybe the Timebroker can give us a little more time and information to achieve our friggin' goals?" That last bit is spoken to the Tallus.
