Blue Demon

The A-Team [Blue & Gowi]

So it's short. But I set everything up that I think I needed to set up.

But since my head still aches from my massive cold, I'm not sure if everything makes sense. If something is off, don't be afraid to holler.

The A-Team [Blue & Gowi]

Hannibal gnawed on the end of her Cuban cigar. It was the last one of the batch. She had been hoarding them with dedication before her team had been thrown into jail on trumped up charges. After she had sprung her three team members from the military prison she had made a side trip to her stash. Hannibal was just like her father in that respect. They could smoke and drink anyone under the table without a care for their lungs or livers. And like her father it'd probably be cancer rather than a bullet that'd do her in despite her new life style. Her old man would be so proud in his own disapproving way.

Hannibal looked over the survey maps again. The ink lines swam as she let her eyes unfocus. Hannibal hadn't been to Africa with her military career. She had mainly stayed stateside or in the middle east. Sure there was the occasional deployment to Asia or the Oceania area. But that was the extent. If Hannibal was being honest with herself she was never much for the world adventuring allure. She was more than happy with boots on the ground and a rifle in hand. If that was in a jungle or in a desert, well, she really didn't care.

Being a mercenary wasn't something she had thought about either. As a young girl she knew she'd be career military. Retirement wasn't something she ever thought about. Frankly she never thought she'd make it that far. So when she had started calling in her chips (inventively because she was going it in a military prison) the idea had blind sided her. Donaldson knew a guy who worked for a non-profit in Africa. His friend was building schools, getting the locals access to clean water and medicine, the whole nine yards. A real boy scout. Anyways Donaldson told Hannibal he'd help her because he owed her. But.

Hannibal shifted her cigar to the other side of her mouth. If it was lit it would have been better. It was bothering her that she wasn't smoking. Donaldson asked Hannibal for another favor. He said no strings attached. After all there was the debt. But he also said if she did this he'd still be indebted to her. Hannibal sighed causing Face to glare at her over the top of the warn paperback. He had found it stashed in one of the seats. Being free suited Face. He looked much more like the young man he was.

"Christsakes Hannibal. Just light the damned thing." Face said exasperated. "I'll happily die of lung cancer if I don't have to listen to you complain."

Hannibal leveled a glare at the lieutenant. Brenner was never happy unless there was something to complain about. Like Hannibal. First it was all don't smoke Hannibal now it was why aren't you smoking Hannibal. And she was not complaining. "Just buckle in LT. We're almost there."

The Hannibal looked pointedly out the window. The continent of Africa was now in view and growing. They'd have to ditch the plane, find themselves a truck and head to the village. The plane was far too easily traceable for the US military. They couldn't park it anywhere near their final destination. And if they laid a few false trails they could throw the military off their trail for a while. After all, what cause did Hannibal and her team have to go to Africa other than to use it as a diversion while they scurried off to another hidey-hole. Or that was what she wanted the military to think.

"Great." Face grumbled. "You know I never got shot in jail. I had access to clean water and clothes. And did I mention that no one shot at me?" The man continued his complaining as he gathered up his few scant belongings and went back to check on B.A. Hannibal smiled around her cigar. He was a good kid. Hannibal looked back down at the topographical map and tapped her finger on the village. Warlords using children as their army wasn't something she could let pass. She didn't like the idea of putting their innocence on hold but she liked the idea of children soldiers less.

Last time on

"What does that mean?" Steve asked the two. The sinking feeling in his gut told him it wasn't good. But he needed cold hard facts.

"Well, with the computer fried we can't see what he looked at, but we know that he had all access to everything. All the Leaguer's personal information. All of Lex Corp's secure files. Everything."

@Blue Demon

Justice League HQ; Now

Steve wiped a hand over his face. His right ear was a little sore from the earbud Natasha had given him. Just because he was a super soldier didn't mean he too didn't feel discomfort. Though to be fair under most normal circumstances it wouldn't have bothered him. Except for he couldn't remember the last time he slept. And no, being concussions for a night didn't count either. Steve had just wanted to fall off the grid with Natasha. But he couldn't. Not with most everyone out of the HQ doing whatever. Only Zatanna was still around and that was probably because she was on Cap sitting duty.

Steve resisted the impulse to pinch his nose. Once Natasha had dropped the bomb (metaphorically) about what the Chameleon could haven taken, she had left. Left Steve with the ear piece and a promise that she'd track him down a lead. And here it was, nearly morning and soon Lex would be here and Steve...

And Steve would have to tell Lex how badly he had screwed up. Steve sighed and did pinch the bridge of his nose. Sometimes Steve wished for the simplicity of the war back. While it had been horrendous on so many levels, it had been black and white too. There were the good guys and the bad guys. And all he had to do was tear Hydra apart piece by piece. But this The future? It was messy and complicated and so alien.

Steve stood up, grabbed his shield and headed to the weight room. He really needed to punch something.

@BlackSam3091Sad to see you go. But as I said in private, I hope things get better for you.

In other news, Cap is up. It's short but I have to add in a bit with Lex before I can continue on. Because Steve always plays by the rules when he wants to. (The annoying little troll)

Dresden Files Anyone?

I'm always fond of this:

We could be a rag-tag group of minor talents who end up way over their head.

@KiltmanBagz

Dresden Files Anyone?

Oh, god, here we go again. What can I say? I'm a masochist ;) In.

@shagranoz

Seconded.

A Military Horror Experience

@NevixThat's fine. No CSs will be accepted nor denied before the OOC goes up. There's no rush.

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

@SepI don't think it should take that much longer. (Of course I said that last time and here we are....)

"Okay, This Looks Bad."

Then you are an amazing cosplayer. A++
I wish I could do that... but I hate sewing. It's possible I wish someone else would make me clothes so I could play dress up in them. Haha.

I actually feel good about the movie. Barton's the only thing that pisses me off. WTF did they do to his characterization? I'm still fuming. D:<

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

Yea, you need to post with him, because I'm on the verge of applying for him.

@HenryJonesJr

Noooo. My baby! You can't have him.

_{In all seriousness. If you think you can do a better job, my self confidence wont let me fight you for him. I'd concede.}
