Stars and Stripes

A lone figure breaks away from the busy rush hour crowd to cross the street and head straight for the impressive skyscraper that lay ahead. The figure strolls up to the building's white marble foundation, taking in the striking craftsmanship and detail that went into building such a lavish structure. The figure is blonde male about average height and no doubt was new to Titan City by his curiosity. The man seemed something straight out of a Humphrey Bogart movie, he wore a tightly fastened trench coat that covered everything minus his well-polished combat boots that could be used as a mirror. The trench coat appeared to be hiding something as 3 strange points rose from the man's back. What could this stranger be carrying? His short haircut screamed government agent so he must be in Titan City in official business.

As the mysterious man entered the building, he began scanning the large waiting area. His eyes darted back and forth taking in the rich furniture and layout. What got his attention was two large Greek statues by the twin fountains. He stops on his tracks to look up at the statues and simply murmurs "Nike."

"Excuse me, sir?" the young receptionist asks in confusion. "Do you have in appointment today?"
"Just reminiscing miss, but yes I do have an appointment with a..." he reaches inside his coat's pocket and reads a name on the piece of scrap paper he pulled out, "Vanessa Troy."

"Oh! Is she expecting you, sir?" the young gal asks as she begins typing away on her nearby computer, looking for Ms. Troy's schedule.

"You won't find me in there miss as nobody ever expects when fate comes knocking."
"...Sir, if this is some kind of prank then I'll like you to know that our security is highly trained and is not responsible for any harm or damage that might result."

"Oh I'm counting on it. Now if you excuse me, I have important business that demands attention." He smiles and nods to the receptionist before leaving past her desk to the main elevators. The shouts of "Security! Security!" and heavy footsteps echo behind him, yet the stranger simply presses the elevator button and casually waits for the elevator.

Vanessa smirked as she heard

Vanessa smirked as she heard the echoing footsteps within her building floors below her without the aid of an intercom, as well as the sounds of brief combat, the infiltrator was winning. Quickly but calmly turning on the security monitors within elevator A, and she assumed right; around the man lay a small contingent of unconcious security officers...

He was augmented, different, superhuman....those security guards are elite, people that money doesn't just buy...and only a superhuman could take them out so quickly, and without fatalities...but most importantly...

He was someone like her.

Upon reaching the floor of Vanessa's office, he would find no ambush waiting, not guns trained on his form as he walks ahead. Instead, he would find Vanessa Troy herself standing just behind her desk, her back to him, as she silently recognizes his presence, greeting him coldly and calmly in a commanding tone betraying her reputed beauty...

"You have 15 seconds to explain your motives for ignoring the requests of and harming my security team..."

She then turns to him, bearing not a handgun, or transceiver to request aid, but a smartphone...during the entire confrontation she has casually been texting away, but her tone is anything but cordial...

"Starting now"

The figure began counting as

The figure began counting as security force surrounded him "Took you guys 5 seconds to respond, not bad boys. But y'all better take some notes cause class is in session." with that being said, the figure did a spinning back-heel kick that landed below the chin of one the bigger guards. The kick send the guard crashing to the floor. The security team's eyes widened and nostril flared as they saw one of their men go down that they bum rushed the trench coat figure.

The stranger countered one of the guard's attempt to bash his head in with his baton by doing a crab walk and slid into a cat stance, this ancient Shaolin technique allows the fighter to catch a high kick by using both his upper forearms in a V-shape stance acting like a baseball catcher's mitt. Once the man had the baton firm between his arms, he followed the move with a side kick to the guard's gut.

"You shouldn't have let me grab your weapon so easily..." the figure said as he used the baton to strike behind another guard behind the shin, causing him to fall down on his knees. He then followed this up with a simple right hook to the chin to knock the guard out. The remaining guards left standing, kept their distance and circled the figure. The three reached for their taser guns and aimed them straight at the target. "Bringing the tasers out already?! I was just getting you guys warmed up!"

The figure responded quickly by hurling the baton to one of the guards and used the momentum to dodge the other two guards' taser darts by rolling on the sleek floor. The darts instead landed on other security guard, tasering each other out of the fight. The stranger picked himself and a loud BING announced the elevator's arrival. "Right on time." the man said as he entered the elevator and removed his trench coat to reveal a brightly colored costume patterned after the American flag. On his back was a golden shield that was strapped to his back like backpack, he slid the shield off and gripped it tight with his right hand as he knew Victoriacore security is no joke and there would a harder a fight waiting for him and even tighter security measures. He put on a blue mask to complete the outfit.

The costumed figure was surprised that he reached the 48th floor as he was expecting it to be shut off but he knew this wasn't a lucky break and instead knew it was the opposite. The elevator doors slide open revealing a fancy office and a beautiful woman waiting for him. She ordered him to state his business and identify himself before she swung her chair to face him, he was surprised that she was holding a smartphone and not a weapon.

"Name's Fighting Patriot and I'm here to hire you for a job."

Instead of requesting

Instead of requesting security, or brazenly accepting the man's request...she would begrudgingly power off and rest her phone upon the mediterranian olive tree desk with a quiet thud as plastic connects with carefully traced metal, and stand. Proving rumors and observations true; she would be beautiful, sweeping waves of platinum blond hair out of her fair and unmarred face, steel grey eyes coldly studying the man as she muses curtly...

"And rather than consult one of the DOZENS of established and reputable supergroups within Titan City, you force your way into my building, assault my security staff, and demand that I assist you...?"

She would then rest her hands upon her desk, tracing the patterns within the grooves of the wood absentmindedly as she is poised expectantly, awaiting an answer as she voices her apparent annoyance...

"Care to provide me with a corporeal reason why not to resume security protocols, or call the TCPD themselves to detain an apparent hero...patriot?"

Fighting Patriot hesitates

Fighting Patriot hesitates for only a brief moment as he was over taken by the woman's beauty, but only for a moment and then he's back in full business. "I came here since I need help with a certain problem. A problem that Victoriacore has a reputation in handling. Off the book and no attention from the press or anybody else. As for why I barged in one of the most reputable security company in Titan City...it seemed like a good way to get your attention." he smirks at the women, he eases away from a defensive stance and into a casual stance.

"I also heard you're well trained to handle any situation Ms. Troy...It's Ms. right? Well that's exactly the person I'm looking for, well-trained and professional. Before I can tell you the details of the operation...I need to see if you're as talented as they say you are." with that, Fighting Patriot quickly spins and uses his body's torque to hurl his shield at Vanessa Troy. The shield is not aimed to be a deadly attack rather it is intended to test her reaction time and training.

Her expression would not

Her expression would not visibly change as he begins to speak and explain his motives...but upon throwing his shield at her, her eyes would flash a slightly noticeable red, white, and blue as she simply extends her hand...

She CAUGHT his shield!

A shockwave would rattle the room, as she calmly steadies her glass globe, which only shifted slightly towards the edge of her desk, as she eyes him with obvious annoyance, her tone mirroring it as she sighs...

"Going to throw your suit at me next, or is this poignant display over?"

The battle-hardened hero who

The battle-hardened hero who has saved the world countless times over and who's timeless experience has prepared him for almost every encounter, stands paralyzed at the sight of Ms. Troy catching his shield mid-flight. True to his name, the Fighting Patriot tucks his chin in and raises his two fists in a classic orthodox boxing stance. "Impressive Ms. Troy...nobody has ever caught my shield before and those who have, I can count in one hand. You live up to your reputation but just know even unarmed I can take you down and get my shield back 6 different ways."

He crab steps around Ms. Troy's desks, making small movements in case he triggers Ms. Troy's reflex but still be able to counter an incoming attack. If allowed by Ms. Troy then Fighting Patriot would stop short in front of her desk. Fighting Patriot would appear like a caged panther, his muscles tense and eyes wide and ready to pounce at the slightest movement directed against him.

Vanessa would simply smirk at his actions before suddenly launching his shield with incredible force back towards him, but at an angle to where it would glance his cheek at best, before vaulting cleanly over the desk with pinpoint precision, immediately adopting a Krav Maga stance, as she coldly retorts with only the barest hint of slight amusement...

"Being presumptuous doesn't suit you Patriot...on your guard!" At that, he would hear a ping as the shield makes contact with the wall behind them, before rocketing back towards the Patriot's backside, her words a distraction, as she simultaneously begins to unleash a series of punishing and rapid fist and knee strikes if they were to make contact, finishing the combo with a backward cartwheel kick regardless of his reaction, placing her safely out of range...

The shield thrown by Vanessa

The shield thrown by Vanessa was beautifully executed in it's technique that Patriot couldn't help but be amazed by her skill. He managed to fall back and let the shield whiz by him but not without leaving a slash that ran above Patriot's right cheek and ended near his temple. The area began to bruise and bleed slightly as well as having piece of his mask sliced off. After years of experience wielding his golden shield in the purist of justice and equality, Fighting Patriot finally understood how the villains he fought must have felt facing such a fierce tool for freedom. This however does not mean Patriot didn't recognize the unique ping the shield lets out as it stricken at an angle, he knows without looking that Ms. Troy is setting up a classic boomerang ricochet throw. "Oh she's good, real good!" he thought as rolled out of the incoming shield's way.

The shield zipped past Fighting Patriot and lodged itself on the opposite side of Vanessa's office. Patriot didn't even get a chance to let out a comical quip as he is bum rushed by Ms. Troy's devastating flurry of punches and knee strikes. It's one thing to be thought Krav Maga but it's entirely different thing to be able to apply it under an altercation. Vanessa's attacks shows Patriot that she has mastered the fighting style as her quick decisive movements scream years of combat experience. Patriot was lucky to even be able to counter or roll with some of her blows. The attacks he didn't manage to block or dodge, made him wince and turn in pain, he was just glad she wasn't aiming for his family jewels like most of Krav Maga school teaches.

Surviving her assault, Patriot now tried to turn the tables around and form an attack but Ms. Troy must have suspected it as she cartwheel kicked him and used the motion to go out of range. Patriot was able to block her kick using the outside of his forearms but he can feel his muscles begin to sore. "She's a viper that one...Can't let her get the drop on me again nor can I make a foolish mistake by stepping inside her range..." he thinks as he scans her for any opening or weakness he can lead an attack with. Hoping to catch her off-guard he tries to banter her "What is that they say? Hell knows no furry?"

She holds her defensive stance, not even offering a blink as she stares him down coldly, before suddenly rushing him, hoping to shock and draw him in with her speed and a feint strike before vaulting over him swiftly, beginning to launch an even faster combo of strikes and kicks, focusing at striking his upper legs, knees, and lower torso before suddenly sweep kicking him while feinting a left hook, once again cartwheel kicking back and out of range regardless of his actions, not even speaking as she stares him down like simply another target...

Behind a concealed door in

Behind a concealed door in Vanessa's office, Alexandra James watched the fight from several angles, studying Fighting Patriot's style. It looked like her boss had the fight well in hand at the moment, so Alexa had no intention of interfering. She simply waited to see if Vanessa would need assistance. Vanessa was a proud and strong woman, but she still needed to keep up the appearance of being human, so Alexa had been hired as her personal bodyguard after she had saved Vanessa's life in her guise as Liberty Girl.

Currently clad in a tailored pantsuit, jacket, and patent leather flats, this was way more than what Alexa had expected to find when she went looking for a new job after accidentally putting her old boss through a drywall partition when he pinched her ass.

With her finger poised over the button that would open the door into Vanessa's office, Alexa continued monitoring the fight, just waiting for an excuse to turn Fighting Patriot into a human pretzel.

Fighting Patriot was ready

Fighting Patriot was ready this time as Vanessa Troy rushed in and unleashed her attack on him. He had a taste of her combat style with some nasty hits that he knows he's going to feel tomorrow. This time however Patriot is two-steps ahead of Ms. Troy, he isn't as fast or as strong as her but what he does have in spades is experience and tenacity. Unable to properly block her quick and lighting-like attacks, Patriot instead tries to redirect and bait Vanessa to expose an opening by having her attack his mid-sides. If Patriot is successful, he would quickly snatch Ms. Troy's open hand and give it a slight counter twist before having her locked in a joint lock. The twist is not meant to hurt her rather have ms. Troy instinct fall to her knee.

Of course a simple joint lock won't hold Vanessa down for long but Patriot is expecting this and is counting for it in order to set-up his next attack. Patriot gambles that Vanessa would try to free herself by kicking Patriot square in the chest, Patriot even leaves his chest expose to invite the said kick. He hopes the kick would send him flying across and land exactly on the wall where his shield is stabbed through.

If all these fall in place as Patriot hopes then he would have his shield again. He then would try to launch himself towards Vanessa shield first and try to pin her down to the floor quickly as possible. If he does manage to have her beneath his shield then no doubt a certain bodyguard will intervene.

Growling as she falls for his

Growling as she falls for his joint lock trap and sinking down to her knee, she promptly kicks him square in the chest as expected with the appropriate strength to send him flying into the opposite wall, countering his move to grab his shield by rolling soundly to her feet, discreetly rubbing her right hip, feigning injury, in reality sending Alexa a silent alert to respond in the event she is compromised or pinned...

And as he manages to do so as she expected, she clandestinely prepares to launch herself out of the hold the moment Alexa enters, baiting him into a comfortable posistion with banter...

"An impressive display, for a tactically challenged radicalist." Taunts

Alexa saw the signal and

Alexa saw the signal and began prepping herself. She removed the glasses that were part of her disguise, shrugged out of her jacket and hung it on the back of the chair, then rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, exposing her meaty forearms. She unbuttoned one button on her shirt, giving her more freedom to move her neck without risking destruction of the garment. Her shoulder-length chocolate hair was already in a French braid, but she took the braid and wound it into a bun, pinning it in place so that it couldn't be grabbed.

At that moment, she saw Vanessa get pinned again and she toggled the button that opened the secret door. Alexa came surging out of the room like a charging rhino and grabbed Fighting Patriot by his neck and one thigh, then did a handstand up and over his and Vanessa's prone bodies, coming down on the other side of them. As she landed and stood up straight, the momentum from her charge combined with her own superhuman strength was more than enough to pull Fighting Patriot off Vanessa and send him flying across the room to crash into the wall at the other end of the office.

"Hands off the boss, Flying Patriot." Alexa quipped, smirking at him.

Continuing to watch Fighting

Continuing to watch Fighting Patriot, she replied to Vanessa without looking at her. "Oh really, boss? So that's why you gave the signal to intervene the next time you got pinned?"

Normally, Alexa would have tried to be more deferential, especially with someone she'd only worked for for a few months. But one of the first things Vanessa had told her was to never hold back with her opinions. That suited her just fine, as holding back her opinion was not something that Alexa was entirely sure she was capable of doing anyhow.

Vanessa sighs as she simply strides over to Fighting Patriot, and kneels down to speak...

"Then I take it this lesson is over?" Suddenly, the sound of the office door opening would be heard, as a young teenage girl of clear Hispanic descent enters, wearing a cream colored leather jacket, baby blue jeans, and tan buckled boots, all in all very pretty, gasping as she sees the state of the office, shouting comically to Vanessa...

"Mom, if you are going to have a fight in the office, at LEAST let me know before I get in the private elevator? Do you have ANY idea what I had to listen to for six floors?!" The girl offers a familiar grin to Alexa, who would know her as Valentina Troy, Vanessa's spitfire of an adopted daughter, who goes to awkwardly hug the bodyguard and her now smirking/fuming mother, Valentina blushing towards Patriot...

"He's cute and patriotic! Just your type!" Points between Alexa and Vanessa, the latter playfully swatting the girl, earning a giggle...

((Ooops sorry about that. I guess it was just too late/early for me to be reading. We'll just pretend Fighting Patriot was wobbling up on his feet when he said that))

Using his shield as a crutch to lean on as he got up on his feet, Patriot shakes his head as he tries to focus his vision and get the birds and stars from his eyes. "Did anybody get the license plate number to that truck?" he blurts out as he comes too.

He looks over to Vanessa "Yes the test is over know Ms. Troy and I got to say you handled yourself better then I expected. Now as for the matter of my visit I need your help in--" the patriotic hero is interrupted by a teenage girl of Hispanic descent as she burst into the office room. Patriot coughed awkwardly as the teenager mentions about him being cute.

Patriot also notices Alexa intense glare directed at him. He turns and looks to Ms. Troy "If you're willing to help me...I have a dangerous mission for you and your company."

Alexa reluctantly tamped down on her temper and walked with Valentina back to the desk. "C'mon, half-pint, they're gonna talk shop for a bit."

Valentina rolled her eyes and talked right back. "Aw c'mon Alexa, why you gotta call ME that? Everybody's a half-pint next to you."

Alexa chuckled at the girl's logic, then sat her down and ducked back into her alcove, re-emerging after a few minutes with her glasses and jacket back on, her hair unpinned, and a bottle of tea for Val. She handed the drink off to Val and then trotted back over to Vanessa and Patriot.

Fighting Patriot grabs

Fighting Patriot grabs Vanessa's hand and gets up. Once he's on his feet, he reaches inside his belt and pulls out a USB drive. "Here, this all the details you'll need." Patriot hands the USB to Vanessa.

He slides his shield onto his back by the straps and begins pacing around the office "I was recently contacted by a scientist working for a research study regarding some sketchy and unethical tests being ran on the homeless, prostitutes and drug addicts. Within the USB you'll see over a dozen missing person reports filed with no activity from the police or any agency. I really don't blame the officers as most of the victims have a history of disappearing for their court hearings. The reason I said victim is that the scientist directed me to a location outside the city where the research team buried 5 of their recent test subjects. The bodies where hideously disfigured and stretched out to impossible proportions for a human body...At first I thought I was looking at giant animal but upon further study I realized it was human."

Fighting patriot stares out the window and rests an arm onto the glass, he sighs and lowers his head. "I have a history with this kind of thing before due to a villain I use to fight during my younger days. Dr. Eugene H. Chimera...The USB has his criminal records on file from Interpol and the United Nations for crimes against humanity. Last time I fought him, he was sent to a prison facility somewhere in Switzerland but I guess he either escaped or caught a deal with somebody and is now in America."

Fighting Patriot turns and faces Vanessa and Alexa, "I need your help bringing him in...He's weaponized his formula and is more potent and unstable then I ever seen. From what the scientist has told me, he's well funded and heavily guarded. Within the USB there's a location to the south side of Titan City, it's the location of a warehouse front for one of their biggest labs. We're gonna hit it tonight and hard and fast before this gets any worse...Are you two in?"

Vanessa listens to Patriot's information with a trained impassive expression, but takes the flash drive and moves to plug it swiftly into a nearby laptop upon her desk. Afterwards, she turns to face Patriot, speaking curtly, neutrally...

"I read files on Dr. Chimera. If what you say is true then...we have to intervene. But my question now is how to aid you...I have elite security teams but I have a feeling you want me to assist directly? As for this to remain clandestine?"

Patriot looks at Vanessa and nods, "Exactly, we need to act as fast as possible before Chimera catches wind that one his scientist has gone missing. I advise not to pass this information around Ms. Troy as Chimera seems to well contacted with several law enforcement agencies, I am by no means insulting your team but loose lips sinks ships."

He then turns to Alexa "It seems that a bodyguard is exactly what we might need in this dangerous mission miss."

Vanessa sighs, before

Vanessa sighs, before suddenly rolling up her sleeves, revealing a pair of two fashionable sterling white bracelets, admiring them for a moment, before suddenly slamming them together with startling force, the bracelets expanding in a wave of red, white, and blue all across her body...

When the light clears, she is standing in a near full body armor of pure Olympian metal, the only skin exposed a small dip of cleavage upon her chest, the torso streaked red, the thigh high scalloped heels a stark white, the waistline and trim of the alternatively colored pieces trimmed in dark blue, her rich golden hair in curled waves behind her, and her eyes a rich grey piercing them like steel daggers...

Her voice holds the same reserved tone...

"Maiden America reporting for duty." Valetina takes a moment to eye up to her adoptive mother with a grin...

"You guys going to get me on of ah...those in the future?" Points to the assembled heroes before her as she quips...

"And a name should be considered for the group?"

Alexa nodded her head, then

Alexa nodded her head, then walked back into the security alcove, closing the door behind her. A few minutes later, she emerged in her uniform and walked back over to them.

Standing 6'6, she was wearing red high-heeled knee boots with a white star on their sides. Her long, muscular legs were uncovered up to a dark blue boy-short unitard with shoulder-length short sleeves and a high collar. Her powerful arms were bare down to a pair of white finger-gloves. Her face was concealed by a red domino mask. Her hair was still french-braided, but not pinned up. On her chest was a stylized, red and white Liberty Bell.

She spoke, her voice having dropped into a low, resonant tone that conveyed power and authority. "Liberty Girl, ready and waiting."

"We'll wait for night to fall and then we'll hit the warehouse. We can meet at this location which is directly ahead of the warehouse." He hands both heroes piece of papers with the GPS location. "I suggest we meet on the rooftop and scoop the place before we strike. Y'all are welcome to bring any gear you see fit but I have a no-kill policy if it can be avoided."

He waits for their response...

"Appreciated. Regardless, it appears that for the time needed that I have a patrol to begin." She turns to her intercom interface upon her desk as she addresses her personnel...

"Disregard the earlier disturbance, it has been handled." Turning back to the heroes and her adoptive daughter, who happens to be twirling a butterfly knife between her right hand's finger's while texting with her left's, raises an eyebrow before inquiring...

"Alexa, Patriot, care to join me, perhaps see what we can do together before our operation tonight?"

"Count me in. This is why they call me the Fighting Patriot, as I'm always up for anything." he smirks as he slides his golden shield off his back.

"No." States curtly before turning to them both as she heads over to the front of her office, towards the private elevator, motioning for them to follow, including a bemused Valentina as she calmly keys in a hidden number pattern, 1776 in that order, before pressing 'up' button....

Valentina beams to Alexa as she continues...

"Double-sided steel edged butterfly knife! Mom taught me!" Vanessa snaps back...

"Please don't call me Mom, I feel old!" There is the hint of amusement in her voice as she eyes the pair before offering a trace of a smile to Patriot, gone within a second however as they ascend, to the previously unheard of 49th floor.

Arriving swiftly, the large room, now, security center before them appeared to be a modified technological citadel, video screens displaying real time images of Titan City, several areas for conditioning such as a pair of Salmon Ladders, several different weights, storage lockers for equipment and in development gadgetry, and a armament wall of modernized swords, shields, polearms, bo staffs, knives, and even modified throwing discs.

The hum of whirring tech all about them, lastly, they would catch sight of a carefully painted pair of angel like wings encircling a globe cloaked in the colors of red, white, and dark blue, both on the floor, and the wall ahead. turning to her allies, Vanessa speaks curtly...

"Welcome to the Citadel of Freedom." Valentina eyes the area in awe for a moment, before locking her gaze on the salmon ladders, turning to Alexa with glee...

"Wanna race, 'kiddo'?" Teases with a grin.

She walked over to the salmon ladders, then looked one of them up and down. "I've seen this done before. Seems simple enough. I do have one question, however. Can you skip slots?"

Vanessa smiles at that sight, clear pride seen in her adoptive daughter as she replies to Alexa with a smirk...

In response to the taunt, Alexa simply increased her pace. Once she reached the top, she lifted herself up and perched on top of the bar. Looking down at Valentina, who still had three slots to the top, she grinned and taunted right back. "You, the one who started without letting me get ready or even saying go, are calling me a cheater? 'sides, you didn't say no powers..."

Patriot was highly impress with the hideout. He quietly walks around the room awestruck by the seize and layout. He looks back at the girls and remarks "Impressive place you have here. State of the art and fashionable too, not a easy thing to do."

Just then, an alarm goes off. The loud noise is quickly followed by a intense red light which begins to illuminate from one of Patriot's belt capsules. "We got trouble ladies."

At the same time that those

At the same time that those two things happened, an unintrusive white bracelet on Liberty Girl's left wrist buzzed and lit up with several blue lines running along it. She tapped it and raised it to her lips. "This is Liberty Girl. Go." She nodded several times as she heard someone speaking... somehow.

"I'm on it." she said, then tapped the bracelet again. Still sitting on the salmon ladder bar, she grasped it on both sides of her and let her body fall backwards so that she rolled off it and her long body rotated around the bar and then unfurled like a flag. She did the motion to unseat the bar and dropped to the floor of the HQ, then set the bar back at the first rung.

She trotted over to the largest vid-screen, which displayed a map of Titan City. "There's reports of a disturbance... here!" she said, pointing out a location on the map.

Vanessa frowns as her own

Vanessa frowns as her own comm device, a golden star branded choker laced carefully around her neck now pinging silently, at the exact time Patriot's and LG's registered a threat, musing in her ever present, calm dulcet tone.

"Agents of Revolution." Sneers, as the security footage displayed thanks to a series of inhuman typing reveal a intense firefight between clearly outnumbered police forces and swarming peons of anarchy, dressed in a mix of civilian clothing, scarlet hoodies, and combat fatigues, wielding AR-15's and SMGs behind a barricade of parked and burning cars within Downtown.

Offering it a momentary glance, Vanesssa states tactically...

"Approximately twenty five hostiles armed with a contingent of automatic weaponry and Maletov cocktails, current ratio of police success stands at 7 to 2, as their attention is divided between escorting civilians to safety and maintaining rates of fire...we need to move."

Valentina turns to Vaneessa,before grinning as she begins to scurry around under the desk, plugging in wires before returning to the monitors, zipping forward in a chair as she slaps on a headset, stopping Vanessa's attempt to protest by interrupting...

"Hostiles now stand at twenty three thanks to police fire, but they won't last long, I will do some sassy overwatch, now get going chicos!" Urges, earning a small, pride filled smile from Vanessa before she turns to her allies...

"Ready to engage?"

"I never saw the need for one being able to fly, but I'll consider it...in the meantime we should be going." With that, she moves to press a hidden scarlet star shaped emblem upon the far opposite wall, revealing a pristine sky as it slides from view.

While they'd been talking, Alexa had tapped her bracelet and brought up a holographic interface. She tapped it several times, then waited thirty seconds. With a roar, a capsule of some sort jetted by and opened, dropping off a vehicle that looked like the love-child of a motorcycle and a jet fighter. Emblazoned on the side of the vehicle was an emblem consisting of a stylized torch and the letters LoT.

"You ever used a jetbike before, Fight?" she asked, turning to look over at him.

Alexa gave him a quick briefing of the controls, which was basically like a motorcycle but with the addition of a set of controls for vertical movement. Once she was sure he had it figured out, she ran towards the edge of the roof and LEAPED!

She flew several hundred feet into the air and landed on a reinforced rooftop over a quarter of a mile away. "Try to keep up!" she taunted over the channel they'd established, just before soaring into the air again.

"Well said, let's engage." Replies over the comms before landing on a building just overlooking the site of abforementioned chaos below as gunfire and shattering choruses of glass ring out around them. The TCPD appear to briefly be gaining ground, taking down another two Agents of Revolution in hail of gunfire before scrambling back as a pair of explosive Molotov cocktails roast a pair of squad cars in mini fireballs.

The police are sent to the asphalt by the explosions, struggling to get up as the anarchists prepare to put them down in another bombardment, shouting in unison above the din of sirens and screams of fleeing bystanders, some crying out in injury...

"We are change, down with bureaucracy, down with oppression! So begins REVOLUTION!"

With a thunderous crack, Liberty Girl landed in the middle of their line. "No, so begins an ass-whupping!"

The first one to turn had just enough time to recognize Liberty Girl's white-gloved fist before it plowed into his face, shattering his nose and knocking five teeth down his throat. Before he fell, she grabbed his arm and whip-cracked him into two more Agents, knocking them both into the car they were hiding behind. She heard a roar of fury and turned, only to get plowed into by a man who was seven feet tall if he was an inch. He knocked her to the ground and stood over her, leering.

She looked up and him and smirked. "You're big. Fought bigger."

She kipped up and used the momentum to send a fist thundering into his jaw, throwing him back and knocking him off his feet. Assuming a kickboxing stance, she motioned for him to come at her.

Vanessa wastes no time in

Vanessa wastes no time in leaping into the fray, simply regarding her foes with a cold, silent and rather chilling intensity as three large agents begin to charge her in a trifecta pattern. The one in front of her attempts to shout as he raises his cocktail...

"Kill this patriotic monger in the name of Rev-" He never finishes his sentence, as he is greeted by a pair of white Olympian steel heels courtesy of a spinning kick, the second assailant's arm twisted behind his back drawing out a cry of pain before he is driven into the asphalt face first by a armored cobalt elbow, the last who was much to close is dispatched by a body length high kick up his face.

An attempt to get up by the second thug is met with a brutal strike across the face with his own, lit stun baton. Dropping it unceremoniously, and having never moved an inch in her swift takedowns as a testemanf to her combat skill, Maiden America simply stalks forward to reach Alexa's posistion, her armored bracers deflecting bullets sent her way by a presently charging agent, but he meets the same fate as his allies: this time a swift backhand sending him flying into his stunned compatriots in a painful heap.

The stunned fighters are sent scrambling in the direction of Fighting Patriot and Liberty Girl, six in all in hopes of better luck, in part due to the intimidating shout of Vanessa whilst she brings a attacker to his knees by promptly elbowing him in the throat and sending him briefly airborne in a jawcracking knee to the face...

"Shape up or ship out!"

"Ladies first!" he smirked as

"Ladies first!" he smirked as his partners ripped into the radical revolutionaries. Patriot flew high above the battlefield, scanning the situation before fully engaging. He spots an officer who was pinned down by four Agents. Patriot flipped a switch on the jetbike to activate the hover mode.

A golden badge-shaped shield cut through the air as it hit one Agent straight on his upper chest and face. Patriot leaped from the jetbike and landed both feet on another goon, he tucked his knees in as he did, and safely rolled back on to his feet without missing a beat. The element of surprise was over as the remaining two soldiers realized that they were attacked by a red, white and blue mad man. They aimed their assault rifles at the hero only to have Patriot knock them both out with a high double kick to their faces. The two Agents were knocked out cold before they could even pull the trigger. Patriot salutes to the officer "It's ok sir, you and your fellow officers did a good job. Go regroup and let us do the heavy lifting."

Patriot collects his shield and doubles back towards Liberty Girl, "Hope you don't mind me cutting in" he says as he smashes into a group of villains with his shield. Patriot catches with the corner of his eye how Vanessa saved both his and Alexa's lives by taking out a henchman with a clear shot. Patriot nods towards Vanessa in a silent thank you as he continues fighting on.

As the massive Agent charged

As the massive Agent charged Liberty Girl, she spun into a jackknife kick. Her foot caught him directly in the side of the head, fracturing his skull and throwing off his charge. He shook his head and advanced on her, so she punished him with a flurry of quick knee strikes to the ribs. She then grabbed his head and slammed it down as she brought her knee up, fracturing his skull again.

The Agent tried to recover from his dizziness and she simply stood there as he unloaded several haymakers into the air in front of her. Raising a hand, palm out, she held it in front of his face until he had focused on it. Bringing it back, she slapped him across the face, the impact sounding like a rifle shot. A red imprint of her hand appeared immediately and he blearily turned back to look at her. As she brought her hand back again, the Agent's eyes rolled up into his head and he collapsed bonelessly to the ground.

As several of the one's Vanessa had chased her way tried to skirt around Liberty Girl, she clothes-lined two of them that were running at full speed. They both spun a full 360 before slamming into the asphalt in crumpled heaps. The last Agent stopped to unload on Liberty Girl with his H&K MP7 from three feet away, emptying 30 rounds of 4.6x30mm into her belly in under two seconds. As the smoke cleared, a white-gloved hand shot out of the cloud, grabbed the barrel of the gun, and ripped it from his hands. Liberty Girl advanced from the smoke and swung the gun like a tennis racket, belting him across the face and throwing him over a car hood. She then picked at the scraps of her uniform, which was just gone from the top row of her taut abdominals to just below her belly button.

"I hate when they destroy this much of my uniform, but I suppose I should be happy he didn't fire at my chest. Otherwise, I might not be decent right now." she griped as she was moving towards the other two heroes.

Vanessa-no, Maiden America's

Vanessa-no, Maiden America's face is impassive at the moment as she replies almost emotionlessly to Alexa...

"Regardless of the loss of garments, the threats were neutralized." If they were studying her features, her lips form into a small second-long smile towards Liberty Girl, a clear sign of respect and affection.

But it is gone as quickly as it appears, as she moves to immediately assist First, or rather Second emergency responders in overseeing the relief efforts of the battle, currently lifting ripping the door off of a upside down squad car and ushering a pair of shaken but alive officers to paramedics for treatment.

"HELP! We've got trapped

"HELP! We've got trapped people here!" was the cry that reached Liberty Girl's ears. Her head whipped around and she spotted the paramedics by the semi that the Agents had used as a battering ram to start the attack. They had armored it and then used it to plow through several lane of traffic, finally pinning two vehicles to a wall.

The first vehicle, a minivan, appeared to be hopelessly crushed. The second vehicle, a TCPD car, was badly mangled but the there seemed to still be room for at least one officer to be alive. Liberty Girl bounded over to the wreckage and mad her presence known. "How can I help?"

The paramedic looked her over and breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God you're here, Liberty Girl. Both officers are trapped in there and the nearest set of Jaws of Life are 20 minutes away. We've determined that both officers are in relatively stable condition, but I think they've both been pierced by wreckage, so you can't simply rip the car apart. First, could you pull the windshield glass off?" Liberty Girl took a step forward, grabbed the edge of the safety glass sheet, and pulled. The entire sheet came off in one piece and she flung it away. "Good, now I'll get on the hood and monitor them while you work to extricate them." he said, clambering onto the hood.

"Now, i want you to start by leaning in the passenger side window and pushing up on the roof, but do it very slowly..."

Patriot throws his shield at an incoming Agent with enough force, that the shield bounced off it's target and hit another enemy Agent. Knocking both out cold like a turkey "Two birds down with one stone."

Patriot grabs his shield from on top of the unconscious goon that a surprise attack caught him off-guard. An Agent manged to tackle Patriot to the floor, the agent wielded a large bowie knife and intended to bury it deep within Patriot's star-spangled chest. He would've succeed if it wasn't for Patriot's training, as the hero was able to twist and put the Agent's blade arm into a armbar lock. The Agent struggled to free his arm by headbutting Patriot repeatedly. Patriot simply took the hits before finally getting the upper leverage and breaking the henchman's arm in two places.

Patriot then sends a quick Tiger's Claw straight underneath the man's chin to knock him out. Patriot kicks the bowie knife far away from him and wipes off the blood that began to flow from his nose and teeth. His nose wasn't broken but bruised heavily as well as receiving a busted lip, all-n-all another day at the office for the Fighting Patriot. "Targets down."

Maiden America nods to

Maiden America nods to Patriot after he takes the Agents down, currently on a stark white Bluetooth with arriving metahuman medic teams, who immediately set to work finding and treating the wounded, including their thrashed opponents. After this is done and aid is rendered appropriately, she speaks to Patriot...

"I assume you heal on your own?" She inquires to him, offering a steadying hand to lead him to the open doors of an ambulance for treatment via a vita kinetic young heroine.

With the paramedic directing

With the paramedic directing her, Liberty Girl was able to delicately unfold the crushed police car and allow the medics access to the critically injured officers. As they flooded in, she scooted out of the way. Taking a moment to breathe, her ears perked up as she thought she heard something over the sirens and the wails of the injured. Concentrating, she tried to listen harder, but the noise was too distracting.

Raising her voice, she bellowed in her most commanding tone. "EVERYBODY, BE QUIET!!!"

The whole area silenced as medics and victims piped down and vehicle drivers silenced their sirens.

Quietly, from the crushed minivan, came a small voice. "Mommy?"

Liberty Girl whirled around and dashed to the minivan. She had to climb on top and squeeze into the space between the cab-over truck and the wall to look down through the sun-roof. A pair of scared eyes peered back up at her. The girl couldn't have been older than eight or nine and the wreckage was folded around her like a cocoon, with only her head and one arm not trapped. Liberty Girl reached in and gently took the girl's hand. "Don't worry sweetheart, I've got you. I've got you."

Upon feeling Liberty's hand wrap around her own, the girl burst into tears. She reassured the girl for a few more seconds, not letting go of her, then looked up to locate Maiden and Patriot. Not seeing them, she called them on the radio. "Maiden, Patriot. Get over to the cab of the semi. There's a little girl trapped in this minivan. The truck looks like it's totaled, but we have to get it out of the way!"

She looked back down at the little girl. "I have to go for a few minutes..." she started to say, but the girl's hand tightened desperately and she wailed for her to stay. Tearing up, Liberty Girl reached in and gently stroked the girl's hair, shushing her. She pulled her arm back out and ripped her half-mask off so the girl could see her face fully. "What's your name? Mine's Alexa, but my superhero name is Liberty Girl."

The girl snuffled. "J...Jessica."

"Okay Jessica, I have to go for a few minutes to move this truck, but I promise, I will be back. Why don't you hold onto this for me?" she said, passing Jessica the mask. Jessica grabbed it and held it tightly as Alexa pulled her head and arm back out of the sunroof and hopped off the roof. She got to a point where she could see that the truck's load was a bunch of reinforced concrete columns. Alexa knew there were several ways they could get the truck out of the way, but waited to discuss it with the other two heroes.

"Faster then normal but not

"Faster then normal but not fast enough." Patriot spits out blood that collected as he opened to talk, "I'm Fine. Just a scratch anyhow. Our little tango did more damage to me then that knucklehead can ever do."

Just as Maiden America introduced him to the medic, when the call for help from Liberty Girl broke through the Bluetooth. "This can wait..." he told the medic as he rushes off towards Liberty's direction. Patriot madly dashes towards the trapped girl, jumping across the numerous obstacles left from the attack. "My shield's edge is sharp enough to cut through the metal, I can use it as a crowbar." Patriot responds over the Bluetooth hoping it could work.

Maiden America was just about

Maiden America was just about to reply before her own enhanced senses picked up Jessica's terrified voice, streaking towards Alexa's position immediately to peer inward herself. Barely managing to halt the tears that threaten to flow into her vision by sheer drive to free the child, she crouches briefly to address Jessica in a rarely used motherly and comforting tone...

"Jessica, sweetheart? You are going to be fine. I'm Maiden America, or Vanessa, my friends and I are going to scoop you out of their soon, hang tight, your being so brave!" With that said she turns back to her allies before attempting to discern the best way to free Jessica...

"We also need to have someone near there to monitor Jess, make sure she isn't injured during the extrication."

"I don't think we can risk

"I don't think we can risk prying at the metal, Fight. It's folded around her like a cocoon. No, the first thing we have to do is move this truck." she said, scoping out the vehicle. It was one of the new super-heavy duty haulers made possible by the most recent advances in hyper-metals and miniaturization of cold fusion reactors.

"Fight, go keep an eye on the girl. No offense, but this is a brute force job and of the three of us, you're the weakest. Maiden, come with me." Liberty Girl ordered, striding towards the rear of the vehicle.

"None taken." Patriot simply nods at the heroines before taking off to help the young girl. Patriot hops on top of the minivan and proceeds to talk and calm Jessica down "Hey there, I'm a friend of Liberty Girl's. She told me what a strong and brave girl you were. I know it's scary Jessica but everything's going to be alright, ok? I already talked to your mommy, she said she was going to buy you all the ice cream you can eat when we get you out of here. What's your favorite ice cream Jessica? I'm actually a vanilla and strawberry kind of guy."

Vanessa immediately nods and approaches the truck, inquiring to Liberty Girl as she heads to stand opposite of her, at the front of the hauler...

"Alexa, are you ready?" Softly asks across the Bluetooth.

Jessica looked up at Fighting

Jessica looked up at Fighting Patriot and sniffled before speaking. "F...fudge ripple. Mommy and Daddy are at work right now, so Misha was driving me to soccer. What's your hero name?"

The pillars were held down by a number of heavy-duty titanium chains, several more than were actually needed, so Liberty Girl undid one of them and took the chain to the back of hauler. Secueing it to two anchor points on either side of the rear end, she then wrapped it around her waist and tossed it to Maiden America. "Here, wrap that around your waist and then keep a good hold on the end of it. Line up with me directly behind the vehicle. You're going to be my anchor as well as helping me to pull. You won't move forward until I have, making sure to keep the chain taut. This isn't going to be easy. We're pulling this big bitch from a dead stop and we don't even have the luxury of putting it in neutral, because the transmission is busted."

"Give me the okay when you're ready." Alexa said, leaning forward with her arms on the chain, ready to pull.

Alexa set her feet, grasped

Alexa set her feet, grasped the chain as hard as she could without mangling it, and PULLED!

The asphalt underneath her feet immediately cracked and the chains squealed as immense pressure was placed on them, but they held. Liberty Girl's powerful legs and arms flexed immensely as she fought against the weight, striving mightily to move it from a dead standstill. The onlookers watched with their collective breath held until one of the policemen the trio had saved stood up from the bumper of an ambulance and looked around at the other police and emergency workers. "Alright people, let's give the lady a hand! There's a little girl trapped in that van! LET'S MOVE IT!"

A small crowd of able police, emergency workers, and civilians flocked to the sides of the hauler. They grabbed anything they could find. The officer spoke up again. "ALL TOGETHER NOW... PUSH!!!"

For a time, it seemed an impossible task. Then, with a shiver, the hauler shifted backwards a scant quarter-inch. But Liberty Girl had momentum on her side now. She continued striving to move forward, her face covered in a sheen of sweat and her muscles reddening with the exertion. The hauler shifted another quarter-inch, then a half-inch, then two inches. With an almighty heave, the hauler lurched into motion and the young heroine began dragging it away from the minivan. With Fighting Patriot coaching her, she hauled the the semi-truck ten feet away from the minivan, enough room to let the emergency workers get in there and start tending to Jessica.

Liberty Girl dropped to her knees, sweat pouring from her brow and her chest heaving. Once she'd caught her breath, she stood and undid the chains, then began moving back towards the minivan to assist in anyway she could.

Maiden America moved in tandem with Alexa the moment she began to pull, her own strength easing the burden as they manage it, foot by foot, herself not appearing to physically exhausted from the effort...or so it seems, as she momentarily buckles forward afterwards, righting herself, breathing out into the comm...

"Good.....work." With that, she purposefully strides to aid the emergency workers gathered at Jessica's position.

Fighting Patriot breathes a sigh of relief as both teammates cleared the semi out of the way. "It's all over Jessica, it's time to go home." Patriot smiles at the scared girl,offering a hand to help her up and deliver her to the emergency team who were beginning to arrive.

Turning to Patriot and Jessica with clear relief, she strides over to him as soon as Jessica is in the capable hands of an emergency crew, musing...

"I'm glad we were here when we were, any later and we could have had a very chaotic mess on our hands."

Patriot nods at Vanessa's observation. In a commanding voice Patriot makes his authority clear to the agent grunt "Ok punk, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Either you tell me where Dr. Chimera is or I'll let my two partners give you a lil make over. You just saw them shove clear a 18 wheeler, you really think you can even make them break a sweat?"

Vanessa simply turns to eye Agent Grunt as he was appropriately named, before kneeling down to whisper in a tone only reserved for interrogation or arguing with telemarketors.

"And and I imagine your ribcage will shift forward much faster than that wheeler, as he said...your move."

"OK! I'll talk! J-j-just keep

"OK! I'll talk! J-j-just keep them away from me!" the grunt cries out as he squeamish away from Vanessa and Alexa. "I-I don't know nothing about no Dr. Chimera but my commanding officer might. He's been dealing with a mad scientist type lately. Been hiring us out to him in return for high grade tech and animal hormones."

The star spangled scrapper nods towards Vanessa "Sounds like his usual MO..." Patriot then turns back to the grunt "Where can we find your CO?"

"He's meeting the guy now. Over at some hole-in-the-wall bar over in Pecan street and 22nd. That's all I know I swear!"

Vanessa takes a moment to glare into the thug, before nodding as she turns to Patriot. "His pupils didn't dilate, he isn't lying." And with that, Vanessa proceeds to deftly roundhouse kick the thug into unconsciousness. Turning back to her allies, she implores.

"Ordinarily this would be time for recon, but I am afraid we don't have the luxury, shall we?"

"Could be a trap for all we

"Could be a trap for all we know, but I'm afraid time is of the essence on this case. We're gonna have to improvise as we go Maiden America." Fighting Patriot presses on the hover bike's electronic key, which causes the hover bike to descend near where Patriot was standing.

He gets on the bike "I believe the street he mentioned isn't too far from here. When we arrive, I want you and Liberty Girl to go through the back as silently as possible. I'll be going through the front door and act as a decoy while you position yourselves to ambush the enemy from behind. If this is Dr. Chimera, he won't help himself but order a cease fire to give a over-the-top villain speech when he sees me. We could use his ego to our advantage."

Vanessa nods, replying instantly.

"Then it's settled, and try to keep him talking as long as possible, I read his file but I want time to examine his mannerisms, speech patterns, tone of voice, demeanor...could be useful later." With that said, she ascends slowly, awaiting Patriot's and Alexa's departure.

Now having some familiarity to the hover bike's mechanics, Patriot was able to take off in the air without the awkward motion from before. He knows both Vanessa and Alexa can quickly over take him and so takes the lead in finding the villain's meeting place.

Alexa gave one last wave to Jessica, then bounded to the top of the truck's cab. From there, she jumped to a 15th-story balcony, then to the roof of the adjacent building. Running at top speed, she soon caught up with the hoverbike. Reaching the edge of the roof, she planted her feet and shot past it with a powerful leap.

Not long after Fighting

Not long after Fighting Patriot takes flight, Vanessa follows behind overhead, soaring above breifly before landing ever so softly on the roof of the said bar. With stealth in mind, Maiden America opted to enter the alleyway adjacent to the back entrance with a quiet vault as she stands within the shadows, barely visible, awaiting Alexa's arrival.
