Yes, it's amazing. And yes, I spent money on this program so damn it I'm gonna use it.[/hider][/hider] Susan thought for a moment, before looking over at Cass, [color=57A2EC]"You have season manipulation as power right? Speedsters can't deal with the cold, so why not just make it freezing cold and in the middle of winter?"[/color] Doctor Strange's lips quirked upwards slightly as he considered whether or not he had any ice spells at his disposal that could be used against Luminous. [color=53A981]"Any magic I use, she can easily counter - she has the abilities of the Scarlet Witch."[/color] However, he did know a few ice spells. Perhaps he could at least weaken Luminous slightly if the others could keep her distracted. Susan's mention that Cass had powers over season manipulation was welcome to hear. [color=53A981]"Together, let's bring winter,"[/color] he told her with a nod. [color=53A981]"Between the two of us, we might be able to keep her down enough for the others to capture and contain her."[/color] Shuri crouched into a fighting stance, her weapons at the ready. She knew that they would most likely just phase Luminous, but she was going to be ready for anything. The speedster might not be the only villain they'd run into, after all. [color=847296]"You - Wakanda is a valley of technology. Perhaps you can control something to help,"[/color] she told Agent Carter, since he seemed a bit lost and unsure of himself. [color=f6989d]"The problem with a speedster is that setting off a siren would only distract her for a second,"[/color] Bonnie told Roman with a grimace. She remembered that the X-Men in their fights against Quicksilver typically had to trick or outsmart him - which wasn't particularly challenging. He certainly hadn't been as bright as his sister. Of course, Luminous was cunning and cruel. She didn't need to take cues from Magneto or the Scarlet Witch when it came to destruction. There was still the telltale blur of a speedster running over by the walls, but their luck had finally run out. Whether they had just been too loud, Luminous had seen them before the invisibility took over, or that she reached out with her magic to sense their arrival really wasn't clear. However, Niah's vision will cloud and she will become trapped in a waking nightmare. In this place, she can see her brother [i]and[/i] sister walking in the middle of a busy road, only to be hit by a semi-truck carrying chemicals. The chemicals spill everywhere, mixing with their blood but they aren't dead. Not yet. [color=847296]"Niah?"[/color] Shuri called out softly, noticing that Niah's eyes had clouded over and were now a silver color. Bonnie then noticed it too and she bit her lip. She didn't know how to snap someone out of one of these trances. Whatever Niah was seeing, it was her worse fear most likely - that tended to be Luminous' M.O. with these sort of things. [color=f6989d]"You guys take care of Luminous, I'll get Niah out of this."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Serval Industries - Virginia: July 15th, 2021 - 8:10 P.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr][hider=Images & Maps][hider=Exterior][img]https://i.postimg.cc/pryzs5yT/image.png[/img][/hider] [hider=Battle Map - make sure to list your coordinates each time!] None this time. Make sure to pay attention to where people are relative to you. [/hider][/hider] Raynor didn't stop to think that getting into an elevator was potentially a bad idea. Hackers had murdered people via elevator all of the time before Ultron's uprising. They could easily be walking into a trap right now. Of course, with a Morlock in the lobby area of the former Serval Headquarters, maybe the elevator really is safe. Not everyone is a twelfth level intellect after all - some are just a first level and then some. The Scarlet Witch was fine with getting in the elevator, namely since she could use her powers to stabilize it just in case someone did try to murder them. [color=F86A6A][i]"Dominion, I repeat - we got hostiles up here,"[/i][/color] Captain Marvel's voice said again, as Tinley hadn't acknowledged her. On the positive side, Sunshine seemed to have gone to sleep, the green cloud dispersing after they went into the elevator as the girl died. [color=red]"Morlock or not, you can't do anything for her,"[/color] Wanda told Flynn bluntly. Raynor had crossed his arms and fallen silent, putting two and two together. The girl that had died in the lobby had been the one to kill Sparky. He cast his eyes downwards slightly, wishing she was alive so that way he could go out and throttle her. Unfortunately, the elevator doors closed once everyone was inside before he could get the chance to go brutalize the corpse and Wanda pressed the button for the eighth floor. Once they had reached the sixth floor, the elevator stopped all of the sudden. There was a soft whine as the power was cut, followed by a large banging - as if something had landed on top of the elevator. The roof was torn off in a moment and Raynor had his fists ready with glowing balls of light, just waiting for something to appear that he could fry. There were three robots, each of them made in Ultron's likeness but none of them were the monstrous robot itself. [color=d86615]"Fuck,"[/color] Raynor cursed. They were in a confined space and there wasn't really that much room to move around. The elevator doors hadn't opened and with the power cut, they'd have to pry the doors open in order to get an escape route. With the Ultron bots coming at them from above, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel to kill the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. [color=red]"I thought heroes didn't swear,"[/color] Wanda teased, trying to get a telekinetic grip on one of the robots but she just couldn't get one. It was like trying to grab a wet bar of soap - the robot just kept slipping from her grip. [i]"Surrender or be destroyed,"[/i] the robots said in unison.
