You have Thor inbound. Advise if you think you need more backup.”[/color]][/b][/quote] [b][[color=gold]“Noted. I’ll call you if we need you, or if you want to do [i]clean-up[/i] you can do that.”[/color]][/b] Carol replied over comm-lines, as she looked at the trio as another aura of confidence overtook her. [b][color=gold]“You guys should probably give up now. [i]Thor[/i] isn’t as understanding as I am.”[/color][/b] The comment set one of the mutants back a few steps as they looked worryingly to Astra for an answer, an answer that didn’t seem to come. Carol took this moment to use her energy to propel her upward causing a gut reaction from the teleporting mutant to fire her rather expensive energy weapon blindly at the superheroine. Carol couldn’t really blame their hesitation though, Thor was a lot to deal with even for Carol. There was only so much righteous fury and zealous declarations a girl could take; even if she was on the same side of the God of Thunder. Another energy beam fired at Carol, this one meeting a golden beam of her own creation. [b][color=gold]“FYI, mine is stronger!”[/color][/b] [b]“Get her! Idiots! Before Thor ge—”[/b] [list][h3][i]THOOM![/i][/h3][/list] Hearing the appearance of the God of Thunder was a bit of relief. Given that Carol was so [i]bored[/i] of this altercation it was probably a good sign that they were about to clean up shop here. At least that’s what Carol thought as she spotted Thor overhead and ready to turn this little trio into a duo act performance. Not that Carol [i]needed[/i] the assist, but the faster the better. But then she spotted something she had entirely missed in a flash of purple and black. It was then she recalled the pink energy that blindsided her the first time and things all started to make a lot more sense. Carol nearly hit herself for being this sloppy and arrogant going into this encounter. The person she spotted was none other than [i]Scarlet Witch[/i].

Carol’s brows narrowed as she saw the flash of purple energy slam into her ally’s body— sending Thor reeling into the ground. Things started to make a little more sense, now that she realized that [i]Scarlet Witch[/i] was here stirring some trouble. She imagined that was who she had heard earlier in the crowd, and who had been sent to lead the Brotherhood operation here in Coast City… or at least this little distraction they called a demonstration. However, Carol see about dealing with Scarlet Witch until the three Brotherhood members in front of her were dealt with. Besides, Thor was a big boy— he could handle it. Carol turned her focus back completely on the group in front of her as she weaved to the left, as the beam she had been fighting against before she noticed Scarlet Witch broke due to her slight distraction. As she kicked up her feet Carol propelled herself to the left as the unknown Brotherhood member sent out concussive blasts from his hands in an attempt to catch her. [b]“You two finish her, I’ve got to report back. This is going south faster than we thought.” [/b] [list][b][i]PMNF![/i][/b][/list] As Carol slammed her elbow into the head of the mutant she had closed in on, she turned widely as Astra disappeared as she was known to do. [i]Teleporters[/i]. Carol scoffed as she saw the remaining goon book it around the corner as he realized they were, well... [i]losing[/i]. Carol pushed herself to pursue the mutant, her obviously being faster than him as apparent when she caught up to him with little effort. [b][color=gold]“So, where are we going?”[/color][/b] As he turned his head she slammed her fist straight into his face sending him rolling to the ground before his head hit the base of a lamp post. [color=gold][i]Ouch.[/i][/color] With the two taken care of and Astra booking it for who knows where, Carol averted her attention on the fight above between Thor and Scarlet Witch. [i][color=gold]He’s going to go overboard again.[/color][/i] Carol sighed as she cracked her neck. [i][color=gold]No rest for the wicked, I suppose.[/color][/i][/indent]
