[center][h1][color=green][b]Heroes For Hire[/b][/color][/h1][/center] It was a beautiful night in New York, with most of the criminals in the area taking the night off for one reason or another. Some didn't get the memo, however, but they had been quickly dealt with by the mighty fists of Danny Rand and Luke Cage. At least that's how it [i]would[/i] have been on an ideal night. [color=limegreen]"I can't believe that guy broke my bloody nose!"[/color] Danny yelled as he walked into the Heroes for Hire HQ, aka their shitty apartment, with his nose clogged with tissues and his head held high. [color=limegreen]"I didn't even use a power punch and that guy still got through my shield! What's up with that!?"[/color] Luke chuckled at his friend's misfortune, patting him lightly on the pack; the force of the pat was equivalent to an average man shoving a person. [color=darkgreen]"Must be something up with it. You're the tech guy, you'll know how to fix it if there is a problem."[/color] The large man hopped onto his old recliner, which creaked in protest. [color=darkgreen]"Still, I got the bastard good for you."[/color] [color=limegreen]"Yeah, thanks for that. It was cathartic seeing the guy clobbered into the cement."[/color] Danny replied as he laid out on the couch. Danny began to idly look at the belt and gauntlets for anything obvious. I wasn't like his belt to just short out, but then again he wasn't working with top of the line parts anymore. [color=limegreen]"We got any more pizza in the fridge, Luke? This bloody nose is giving me a hankering for some tomato sauce and cheese."[/color] Danny asked, taking the front panel off of the belt piece. [color=darkgreen]"You ate the last slice, remember?"[/color] Luke replied, quirking an eyebrow at Danny. [color=darkgreen]"It was last night. I got pissed at you. What, you get a concussion when he caved your nose in?"[/color] Danny let out a loud, guttural sigh as he recalled eating the last of the pizza. [color=limegreen]"Now I know how those ninja turtles felt."[/color] Iron Fist said as he empathized with the cartoon characters. Simply shaking his head, Luke got up and headed into the kitchen. [color=darkgreen]"... Still got some cheese and tortillas left. How 'bout a quesadilla?"[/color] [color=limegreen]"Si seƱor,"[/color] Danny said half heartedly as he put his belt back down and began looking over his guantlets. Luke opened up the fridge, pulling out a package of tortillas and a bag of Mexican style cheese, tossing them onto the counter before preparing a quesadilla for Danny, following suit shortly after with his own. He entered the living room a few minutes later, handing Danny his quesadilla and sitting down in his recliner with his own. [color=darkgreen]"Gotta say, it could've been worse."[/color] [color=limegreen]"What? The night or this quesadilla?"[/color] Danny joked as he tossed his tissues and began to dig in the delicious Mexican cuisine. [color=limegreen]"Must be the night because this thing is [i]good[/i]."[/color] [color=darkgreen]"The night, dumbshit,"[/color] the larger man said, rolling his eyes. [color=darkgreen]"Guy coulda had a gun, and you'd be dead as disco instead of having a broken nose."[/color] [color=limegreen]"Good point."[/color] Danny replied [color=limegreen]"So what's on the itinerary for tommorow? Any jobs lined up?"[/color] [color=darkgreen]"You know that Registration Act that was passed? Got the Avengers split up over it?"[/color] Luke asked rhetorically, leaning back in his recliner and taking a bite of his quesadilla. [color=darkgreen]"We've been hired by Tony Stark, y'know, Iron Man. He needs extra muscle it seems. Spidey's with him too, so that's part of why I said yes."[/color] [color=limegreen]"Sweet. Rich guys overpay for everything, I should know."[/color] Danny chuckled, taking another bite of his quesadilla. [color=limegreen]"I think I'm gonna turn in for the night. Gonna reset this nose of mine, take a few Advils and pass out."[/color] Danny said as he got up and headed for his room. [color=limegreen]"See ya in the morning, Power Man."[/color] Danny said, suggesting another hero alter ego for the behemoth. [color=darkgreen]"You do that, Danny. I'll just watch..."[/color] Luke flipped on the TV, currently set to a rerun of Full House. [color=darkgreen]"... Full House."[/color] Right before Danny left, he suggested yet another alias for Luke to use. The man didn't exactly like the idea of going by some superhero name, dressing up in tight spandex and all that, but this one... [color=darkgreen]"Power Man..."[/color] Luke repeated absentmindedly, [color=darkgreen]"sweet Christmas, that's [i]badass[/i]."[/color]
