Outside of New York City
It was clear that he had expected the question of a potential extraction plan and how to get them out with regards to that. Alex let out a bit of a sigh, leaning up against a table,
"...Currently there isn't really a plan in place to get you all out. But from what I've heard, some people are trying to get authorized a few supposedly "fool proof" plans which... Well... Aren't exactly going to end well let's just say..." "So... Basically we're on our own and hope for the best then? Sounds like fun. Though why do I get the feeling that those fool proof plans that people are wanting to do involve something that probably isn't going to work based on what you were just now saying." "Yup, it won't work no matter what they might think. People are scared of what could happen if Magneto decides to leave New York, what might happen to the world if he decides to attack with that virus again. So of course they are going to try just about every measure that they can to prevent that. Problem is most of people like that are the ones far away from the situation off in Congress or the White House and think well... That anything that would work on a normal person would work against him." Thalia got a slight glint in her eye, as if she was seeing something else,
"They do realize that if they try nuking the city odds are that he'll just send the bombs flying straight back at the people who launched them and a hell of a lot more people are going to die." "Which is why this mission is so important. Because we have one shot at this before they decide to launch an attack that likely will be the end of the world. We are working on a time limit, and need that info so we can launch one more strike before that, and from what I've gathered, we have two days tops before they launch that strike. Which means that we need to hurry, luckily we already have the entire force that we'll be using in the last potential attack already, we just need to know where to attack or where we're aiming for." "Oh a time limit, this sounds like the best thing ever in the wooooooorld," she commented with a bit of an eye roll. Though to her time was a bit up for debate. Her powers sometimes were a bit wonky with how they worked, she could manipulate time on a small scale, not fully travel through it, but she could freeze it at times and knew vaguely how to rewind it, but it wasn't exactly easy. She tried to avoid that whenever possible, preferring to use her wings or something of her powers, though if she had her way, Thalia wouldn't even use her powers at all.
"Well, since we are so pressed for time, we might want to get a move on then right?" "Most likely, one more thing," he said, before handing each of them a small list of people with a few pictures included,
"That's a list of known associates of Magneto who are likely in the city and to keep an eye out for while there. Since this is just recon, do not engage unless you absolutely have to since that will just take up the time that we do not have. The much smaller list is for the heroes who likely might be stuck still in the city to keep an eye out for, and both lists include what their abilities are." "Fun." "Do any of you have any other questions? Now is your time to really ask anything."New York City
Mary was still relatively silent as she lead the way through the sewers, before eventually, she'd stop and climbed up a ladder, popping the manhole cover slightly to make sure no one else was around, before climbing up and out, they ended up popping out in an alleyway just a block away. As the others would eventually climb out of the underground tunnels, the ground would shake and there would be the sound of another explosion not too far away. Anyone looking at the street would instantly be able to see bits of rubble flying down the street and bouncing around.
"Well that isn't great now is it?" Mary commented with a shrug, walking forward now, peering around the corner down the street.
There was a building that looked like it got reduced to rubble very recently. There were a group of 7 standing in the street, staring at a building next door to the new pile of rubble.
One was a man in a long red cloak that covered most of his face, as he was standing off to the back of the group,
another was a woman with a bit of a grin who looked part cat. The others included
one who seemed to be part of the muscle in the group,
one with strange claws for hands that had some weird electric field around them, and then two much more familiar faces; Avalanche (who likely caused the building to crumble), and
Boom Boom (who likely was the one causing the explosions).
"Come on out and play, we don't bite, it'll be fun!" Boom Boom called out in a bit of a sing song voice, laughing a little bit as Avalanche made the ground shake once again.
"Soooooooo... What's the plan exactly?" Pietro asked, glancing around the corner.
"We need to at the least distract them until those stuck in the building can escape... And one or two people might want to be there to guide the group out a back way and defend them if the fighting ends up going inside..." "...I tend to use my powers more defensively... So someone else can join me in getting them out or trying to protect them or something..." Lance suggested somewhat softly, he didn't really care who tagged along with him, but he wasn't too much of a fighter unless he had to be, preferring to use his powers to heal or potentially to create shields, that's about as far as he tends to go, since blasting things isn't exactly something he wanted to do.
"Well, they don't seem to notice that we're here yet... Which means we probably should get out of this alleyway and just address them head on..." Mary muttered, Pietro rolled his eyes slightly at that comment. Before in a gust of wind the speedster was no longer next to the rest of them, clearly more than a bit bored.
"Yo Avalanche, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Pietro called out, kind of taunting him a bit with a bit of a smirk.
"Well look who it is, Quicksilver has decided to join in the fun huh?" Avalanche said with a laugh. Pietro rolled his eyes, before zipping forward and slamming into Avalanche, throwing him backwards away from the others.
"Well that's no fun!" Boom Boom complained, before sending some bombs flying directly at Pietro, but he zipped away slightly to avoid them.
"Alright, whoever is going to go with Lance to try and get the group trapped out, go now. The rest of us should help out the speedster who decided to go racing in before he gets himself seriously hurt or killed," Mary said to the group, before taking off out of the alleyway herself. Vines started to pop up along the broken and cracked city streets and charged directly at the man in the robes. She recognized him as a former Morlock by the name of Masque whose powers were mainly useful if you kept him at a long range. The vines slammed into him, managing to cause him to stumble backwards.
"Alright, who wants to tag along with me?" Lance asked.
Boom Boom was clearly getting annoyed with the interruptions, and figured there might be others nearby, "Alright, who else wants to join the party?" she yelled out, more of her explosives appearing in her hands.
