@Sanity43217: Agent Wu isn't the only newcomer to base it seems. Your character has arrived at the Playground a little later, heading inside just in time for the alarms to blare. He is due to report to Agent Cassandra Reed, as she'll be serving as his Supervising Officer until he has grown accustomed to the team. Agent Clint Barton is in charge of the team, with the second in command being Agent Tinley Abercrombie. Your character will emerge in the hallway outside of Technology and spot Agent Abercrombie heading out of the meeting room down the hall.
@Nallore: Harry will find the following sets of fingerprints on the file, identified as belonging to these individuals:
- H. McCormick
- D. Novikova
- G. the Cat
- C. Barton
- R. Banner
- T. Stark
- H. Pym
- H. Stark
- P. Carter
"...I'd rather you didn't. Most metal manipulators end up going insane and I don't want that to happen to you," Novikova said. She could feel the vibrations of the Earth and she reached out, putting a gloved hand over Maria's lips and she kissed her hand, effectively giving Maria a kiss. Maybe one day they'd be able to have a normal kiss again. There were some effective inhibitors out there but she didn't want to have to change Maria in order to be with her. That just didn't feel right to her. Novikova then ensured that her shades were on tightly, not wanting another incident like what had happened with Luminous - thankfully, that bitch was rotting in the Raft - and she turned to the Purifiers once more.
She tried to reach out and crumple the automatic rifles, but instead she just managed to tug them from their hands and they landed on the ground. The Purifiers hadn't had their safeties on and the guns fired on impact, a handful of the bullets heading towards Maria and Novikova. Novikova shoved Maria out of the way instinctively, narrowly managing to stop the metal bits before they hit the two of them.
"It's a metal manipulator!" one of the Purifiers shouted, staring directly at the two of them.
"...Our suits malfunctioned...Typical..." Novikova muttered under her breath. They no longer had the camouflage they were relying on. This entire excursion was turning into a huge mistake.
"I can try to fix them on the fly, but I doubt that'll help," she said, as the Purifiers simply picked up their guns from the ground, ready to return fire.
Bonnie Chase
Location: The Playground - Bio-Engineering and Research
Skills: N/A
The proximity alarm was going off, which usually meant that either a pack of teenagers had gotten too close to the secret entrance or there was trouble up above. Bonnie was too rattled to even remember the names of the most likely groups in the area and she sniffled, trying her best not to cry. It had been a long time since she buried James. She knew that she had feelings for Agent Flynn - strong feelings. He made her laugh. And he was certainly muscular... Bonnie bit her lip. She didn't know what to say or do.
"The um, the alarm..." Bonnie started to say, but then it was shut off. Although she did have experience when it came to fighting in the field, she generally wasn't sent out on combat missions. She specialized in anatomy and biochemistry, making her ideal to serve as a support agent. She'd patch up any injuries and then be sent to figure out any odd developments powers wise. She took another deep breath, but her eyes were still watering.
"I um - I really like you, Agent Flynn," Bonnie said.
"You should probably go get ready or Abercrombie will kill you..." She was good friends with Tinley - not as close as she was with Cass but she really enjoyed working with Tinley and just being friends with her. Her eyes then went to look at Flynn's for a moment and Bonnie knew that she had a choice. She could live in the past and mourn for James forever. Or she could take a leap of faith. She had to be strong - she knew that she was strong, but Tempest's comment about marriage had shaken her.
Bonnie then took the leap and she kissed Flynn's cheek.
"Now go - really, Tinley is scary when she's angry." Bonnie sniffled slightly but she was smiling a bit. She figured that she would essentially be told by Cass to be ready in medical, though Tempest did make her job a bit redundant at times.
Raynor Blake
Location: the Quantum Realm
Skills: Light Manipulation
Raynor pointed out. He had no idea how to deal with the literal army of giant quantum beasts they were facing down. It was bad enough that they looked like spiders too, given Sparky's phobia of them. They didn't have much more time before they would be completely overwhelmed.
"Hold on, I have an idea!" the Wasp suddenly exclaimed.
"Theresa, I'm going to need some electricity. We're going to lead the spiders into a time vortex. It'll suck them in and get them away from us." The Wasp put on what looked like binoculars, scanning the area around them. She then spotted the tell tale purple energy what seemed like a mile away.
"There!" the Wasp pointed.
"If you can get the spiders to follow your electricity, we can make it out of here alive." "Or get sucked into the time vortex ourselves..." Raynor pointed out, not all too happy with this idea. He didn't want Sparky to put herself at risk on a long shot, but they also didn't have much of a choice. The spider army was getting closer and closer, and his powers were weak. He only had about one good blast of light left in him.
He was going to regret this - he knew it.
"You need more time," he said, before cupping Sparky's face and he gave her a kiss.
"I love you," he said, before turning and he let out a blood curdling scream, unleashing as much light as he possibly could to create a barrier between them and the spiders. Raynor's eyes turned white and the blinding barrier was holding up for the moment, vaporizing a few hundred spiders who came into contact with it but there were still more.
"Theresa, now!" the Wasp instructed, as Raynor collapsed to the ground and the light faded.
