	Novikova grimaced, nodding in agreement. Just about everyone had already left to go down to the garage. She hadn't had the displeasure of working with Roman, but from what she heard from Maria he tended to always be like this. It made the wound of her firing sting, knowing that someone like him could work at S.H.I.E.L.D. but she couldn't. [color=add3ff]"Fiiiine, we'll go chase down Deadpool,"[/color] Novikova huffed. Of course, part of her wanted to catch Deadpool single handedly and then shout [i]I guess you needed me after all, then[/i] to Tinley and the other superiors at S.H.I.E.L.D. Vodka tended to make her a bit giggly, but also prideful and stubborn. [color=add3ff]"Hey, NPC, hold down the fort here will ya?"[/color] Novikova shouted, rolling her eyes. 

	Roman nodded his head once, otherwise not moving at all. 

	[color=add3ff]"What's wrong with you anyways - wait, let me guess, you're a really bad HYDRA spy? Secret robot? An escaped mental patient bent on revenge against a pretty blonde?"[/color] Novikova prodded. 

	Roman tilted his head at the couple, before his skin rippled and he morphed into [url=https://cnet3.cbsistatic.com/img/AYG43hb1vnNRShB4y_od_wDIvyk=/1092x0/2019/01/30/2e447138-51ec-4a2d-a553-27842c5f8b3d/captain-marvel-skrulls-close-up.jpg]a green, alien creature[/url]. Before Novikova could so much as blink, the creature went into a berserker rage, pulling a knife and tackling the ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to the ground. He repeatedly tried to stab her, with Novikova barely able to hold back the metal blade using her powers of metal bending. 

	[color=add3ff]"Shit, shit, shit!"[/color] Novikova screamed as the alien bit her, leaving a nasty gash on her shoulder. 
	
[color=FF1C06][b][i]The Garage...[/i][/b][/color]

	Bonnie had hurried to the garage with Niah, just in time to get the location on where they were going to trap Deadpool. Tinley and Tempest had already left before she even had a chance to arm them with the supplies she had found, causing her to sigh slightly. She'd just have to pass out the goods once they got there. Matt and Harry seemed to have paired up, and Oliver hadn't made his way down to the garage yet. And while she had never driven a trike before, she figured it couldn't be that hard, right? 

	[color=f6989d]"...Shit, Cass, can you drive?"[/color] Bonnie asked. She didn't actually have a driver's license. The cars in the garage were too bulky for this sort of chase and Coulson's flying car sadly wasn't there. [color=f6989d]"One of the quads or trikes should do it - if you could take Niah, then I can go with Flynn."[/color] she figured. Oliver wasn't down there yet - she figured he either had already left with someone else or that something had held him up upstairs. 

	Tinley and Tempest would make it to the park with no issues. Since it was Christmas Eve, it was practically deserted, though the trees were decorated with lights. The park was mostly open spaces, with a little playground area for little kids near the parking lot. There was no sign of Deadpool yet.

	Raynor was dangling from Sparky's arms, feeling at least mildly afraid that she would drop him - though that was counterbalanced by his overwhelming desire to get the presents back from Deadpool and then beat the mutant senseless. It was hard to really tell what Deadpool was doing from Raynor's vantage point - 

	[color=hotpink]So I'll tell you! You see, when you can break the fourth wall like it's nobodies business, texting and driving is eaaaasy as pie! And I just got a hot, hot, hot message from my true love, Peter! <3 Sure, the movies have so far portrayed me as just an average straight dude (bleh) but I have so much love to give for everyone, not just skinny girls named Vanessa! And let me tell you, I've spent many a night with my unicorn thinking about Peter... I'd love to make his webs shoot, if you know what I mean![/color] 

	-  [color=d86615]"Sparks, I think he's... he's headed to the park!"[/color] Raynor shouted. He was really glad that this ridiculous Santa costume came with a belt, since otherwise the oversized pants likely would have fallen off already. No doubt some little kid was seeing Santa flying outside their window right now with amazement, rediscovering the true spirit of Christmas. [color=d86615]"Once we get there, we save the gifts and then beat the shit out of him, sound good?"[/color] he asked her, shouting slightly to be heard over the wind that had kicked up rapidly.
