Striking out on her own (OPEN)

[wasp]

Janet walked up to the warehouse that she and the Hood had been using as a temporary base, the shield she recently stole from Cable on her arm, stopping only momentarily to open the front door, then walking over to the center of the room, where the Hood was waiting for her. "Well I got it for you, try not to lose it this time." The Hood seemed far from pleased as she thought he would be to see her with the weapon, infact he seemed angered at the very sight of it. "What?! Why you stupid little B!tch! You dare bring that piece of trash here?!!" Without another word, the Hood waved his hand and sent a mystic energy blast straight at her chest, which she barely blocked in time, raising the shield and deflecting the blast right back at him, engulfing his body in blue flames. As one would expect, he started to scream in pain, a scream that sounded more like that of a wounded animal, than a man, something that surprised Janet, though she wasn't surprised that the Hood had betrayed her, all men eventually did, what surprised her was the fact that his own attack seemed to hurt him at all.She stared at him, until his entire body was reduced to a pile of ashes, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air, a stench so overwhelming, that she nearly threw up right there.

Although she stood there for what seemed like an eternity, unsure if he was truly dead or not, she eventually lowered the shield to her side and walked over to the still smoldering ashes, kicking and scattering the pile to see what might happen, and breathed a sigh of relief that nothing did. Well, I'll be damned, guess the freak wasn't as all powerful as he thought he was. Shame, and here I was finally starting to like him. Oh well. A twisted smile formed on her lips, as walked over to the Captain's chair that Hood had sat in so many times, and sat down, feeling that she was now the one in charge. Shame his cloak didn't survive, it could have come in handy. She was still tired and weak from her fight with Cable and DeadPool, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, she needed to rest. She leaned back, her mind contemplating her next move, knowing that Cable would soon contact the Avengers, informing them about the fight and that she had Steve's shield, and they would soon track her down easily enough, especially now that the Hood was nolonger around to shield her mind from them. Still, all that would take time, and it was time she knew she would need to regain her strength, so she did just that, falling sound asleep in the chair.

A few hours later, feeling rejuvenated, Jan woke up. She decided that she wouldn't beable to trust anyone from the Hood's Syndicate, since they would all be wanting his spot as team leader, so she decided it was time she formed her own team, but wasn't sure exactly who she could trust. Most of the villains had either gone into hiding to escape the registration, had been arrested by SHIELD, or had joined Norman Osborn's secret team. She didn't trust Osborn enough to contact him, and the Thunderbolts had disbanded after the Invasion some months back, and either joined the Avengers or gone into hiding, so she couldn't contact them. No, what she needed to do was find some new, mostly unknown villains, eager to build up their reputations, and what better way to do that then destroy the Avengers? She was glad that the Hood, despite having the ability to teleport, stashed a car in the warehouse, with the keys still in it. A Ford Focus wasn't exactly her usual style, but it saved her from having to fly to where she was heading, a bar owned by the recently disappeared Blacktom, which many villains frequented. Nolonger needing to use the warehouse, she simple drove the car straight through the warehouse's closed door, tearing a huge hole through it. She then tore through the fence around the compound, and headed for the bar, where she hoped to find some powerful recruits.

[hyena]

He's been in America but for a few days, traveling hundred of miles from his homeland of France. Already Sebastian was hunted for what he did at the airport and now nowhere was safe for him. Sebastian learned of a location where many super powered people go out to somewhat feel safe or to meet up. He wanted to keep himself unknown to this community of scum so he dressed with a long hooded overcoat so nobody could sees his costume, Sebastian didn't want to attract any attention as he wanted to figure out his next move before engaging into another fight or crime spree.

He headed to this dark and creepy bar that somebody had mentioned to him a while ago, as he entered the bar his face shadowed by his hood, he could see bikers and weird looking men with very few women. Sebastian wasn't there to flirt so he made his way quietly to a bar stool feeling everybody in the place staring at him, ordered a drink "Scotch on the rocks, mon ami!". Seconds later his drink was laying in front of him, he sat there looking down at it for couple of minutes, thinking about what the hell was he doing in this country, this was suppose to be the land of the riches and yet all he has seen is bounty hunters after him.

Sebastian hands grabbed the glass, moving it to his mouth for a sip, when the bar door suddenly opened, he couldn't help but ignore this drink, turning his head towards this mystery women entering the joint with determination.

[wasp]

Pulling up, outside the bar, Janet thought back to the last time she was at this bar. She, along with some other Avengers, X-Men, and SHIELD Agents to stop Blacktom's killing spree of registered heroes and their families, which cost the lives of more than a few of her former comrades and friends, but in the end, they managed to stop and capture him. While she nolonger felt any remorse for those he killed, or Blacktom himself, she did feel a sense of relief that he was now gone, leaving a place for her to exploit and take over in the villain community. She didn't much care that most of the people inside the bar would recognize her, and may even try to attack her, as her days as the Avengers good little Wasp, were over and gone. She stepped out of the car, in full costume, and walked inside.

As she stepped inside, she could feel the eyes of everyone fall on her, staring her down, and every conversation stopped, as several of the patrons stood up, grabbing whatever was within their reach to use as weapons. "What, a girl can't come in for a drink once in a while?" She smiled, as her hands began to glow with a yellow energy, her eyes switching from one person, to another, waiting to see who would attack her first. She could see the worry in their faces, but unfortunately they were worried that she would only arrest them, and not kill them, a mistake on their part, as one of them yelled, before charging at her, with a combat knife. "We don't want heroes like you in here, B!tch!" The man was easily three to four times her size, looking like Thor or Thunderstrike. Still, all his strength and mass didn't help him, she simply raised her right hand and fired a single blast through his chest, leaving a baseball sized hole where his heart once was. He feel, first to his knees, then flat on his face, dead. The crowed was shocked, not wanting to believe what they just saw, a look of terror falling on their faces. "Anyone else want to try their luck? No? Good, then listen up, because I am not repeating myself. I am forming a new team to take out the Avengers, and more importantly, Ironman."

It has been a good few hours or so after the matter with S.H.I.E.L.D. and though most had the same hate for Zemo and his work with the Thunderbolts. Zemo also was recognized for crime. Well, better than most anyone else. Sitting at a corner all his own. Baron Zemo looked up a moment to see someone was actually causing a ruckus, in a bar!

Whatever...

He was drinking his beer which was imported from Germany (of coruse!) and listened to some idle chatter before realizing something. The person causing the ruckus was Janet Dyne, The Wasp. A former lover to Mr. Pym, as he recalls. What a long, long history the group had here. A Avenger at his place of attempted rest and relaxation!

Yet... she was not a friend. For Avengers he felt. Solely how she (after killing some briggand) spoke of destroying the Avengers. A task he was in midst of when he had his matter with S.H.I.E.L.D. Talk about luck being on his side. Or, maybe not? It was too good to be true. His white eyes narrow a bit as he hid in the darkness of the corner. How could Wasp a former damn Avenger be trusted? Let alone offer such a offer! To be believed reliable on that word?

No, no it's TOO good. That was the fact. Zemo looked around a little though. He'd just see what all was going on. Maybe, just maybe if this was the real deal he'd be willing to believe it after she proved it.

.... besides the now bloated corpse on the floor, mind you.

[hyena]

Sebastian sat there, starring at this women same as everybody else. He watched as one thug was shot right in the chest, and nodded in approval as his eyes followed the dead body to the floor. Sebastian finally took a sip of his drink, listen to the outcry of the women wanting people to team up with her and fight the Avengers.

Sebastian only heard of the Avengers through newspapers and rumors, his experience is fighting Excaliber not American heroes. But the sight of this women captivated Sebastian. Before anybody spoke out, he slammed the empty glass on the bar and stood up. "Madame! (lady) el Laughing Hyena might be just what u are looking for!" as he stood there, he didn't want to cause a fight or get shot saying what he did, so he waited and removed his hooded cap to reveal his blond hair and mask

[wasp]

She scanned the room, looking at the terrified faces of the people around her, until a french accent caught her full attention. At first, she thought it was Batroc the Leaper, but the guy appeared to be a little shorter and not quite as bulky as Steve's sparing partner. "Hyena eh? What can you do?" He impressed her with his courage to speak up, but as she well knew, courage wasn't always enough, when it came to the Avengers.

[hyena]

Sebastian didn't know who she was, was he going to fast, he came in here to get away from the action at least for a while, but now he actually thinking of going after the famous Avengers with this women.

Before answering he slapped the bar counter asking for another shot, the glass came quick as all eyes where on him, waiting for his answer and maybe an ass kicking. Sebastian picked up the glass, raised it towards her and down it went in one gulp. As the empty glass hit the bar, he finally spoke as he raised one hand, looking at it "these hands can rip though anything, my speed can't be matched, I can slow down time, jump high, heal quickly and if I scream ma cherie! get out of the way, HAHAHAHAHAHA!" he finished his phrase turning his head back towards her, he could do more stuff, but this was the best of him. So Sebastian waited for any remarks from her or others that might be unpleased.

[kimura]

“Sounds more like a French man half off his rocker to me.” Came a female voice from the back which moved to the front. Kimura gave Hyena brief then wrote him off as nothing more then an annoyance nothing more. But the woman in front of her was another matter in its own. Oh she was aware of what the woman could do everyone did expect the blonde idiot. Unlike them she wasn’t scared of the woman what so ever “Let’ssee a founding member of the Avengers turn bad and is now making her own team to take said former team out. And Iron Man too? What did he do fuck you and drop you like a bad habit?” She stood there looking at her nails not really paying anyone any mind everyone there was already scared of her knowing she would hunt down and kill their whole family before killing them. Hell she would make them chose who died first if she was in a good mood.

[baronzemo]

There was something about this that really, really was entertaining. First, the Hyena. He wasn't a joke really but perhaps his outgoing attitude? One of those things was just becoming comical. Also the accent, it just seemed to register a slight comical essence to it.

Then again it was also the fact a former hero was making a team of villains. That's as silly as a former villain constructing a team of hero....

Zemo took a swig of his beer when irony or divine (and ever cruel) fate slapped him one. Standing up Zemo was about to make his move when here appears a newcomer. It will be noted he did not know this woman. She was... different, seems a little less thrilled than the Hyena. Yet a bit more cocky than himself. Her remark of Iron Man seemed rather well put. Stark was well known for his actions. Baron Zemo actually got a chuckle with that in his mind.

Making his way from the table he asks, simply, "Would you all mind? I'm trying to do some evil plotting on my own and this comedy act has something of a... how you say, annoyance to it."

Zemo stood there a moment looking back to the three. "This looks like a nice team you have here Janet. Should you be serious of trying to enlist all of these helpers for your wish of revenge. Yet do you really think you can successfully take down the entirety of The Avengers with but all we are?" He raised a finger with his right hand high, "Oh and yes I do mean we should you find that comfortable? Considering how many times I've tried to kill you and what not." That made him smile. Ahh, good times... good times...

Baron Zemo looked at Kimura and offered a hand, "By the way we haven't been properly introduced. I'm Baron Zemo and you are...?" He had a nice grin on his face. Definately liking someone that can easily make a comment on little lady Wasp her first time into the game. Of course he didn't know Kimura has a rather languished history.

[wasp]

Great, just what I need, DeadFool on pot. And to think, I was actually looking... Janet was cut off in mid thought, by this new comer, someone who actually had the audacity to challenge her. "You have courage, or perhaps to much alcohol, kid. I'm not sure which it is, exactly, but either way, I'm not in a forgiving mood, so watch you little tongue, before I rip it out." She turned her head back towards Hyena, wondering if he was really as crazy as he sounded, or if he really was as tough as he said. She thought about sending him against Wolverine or Steve, just to test his skills, but then decided to "kill two birds", as the saying went, and send him against DeadPool. "Is that so? Well then, how about we test that out, shall we? I recently had a 'disagreement' with DeadPool not long ago, and I bet you're just the man I need to deal with him. You want on my team? Prove to me that you're tough enough, and bring me back his head." She said to him, walking over to the bar, and standing just an arm's length away from him.

Seemingly ignoring the young girl, who looked a little too much like Sersi for her taste, only not as tall, Janet picked up a shot glass off the bar, and swolled the whiskey down in a single gulp, before casting a cold, glance at the girl, finally speaking to her again. "As for you, sweaty, I've stepped on bigger bugs tan you, so watch your mouth." She looked around the room, scanning to see if there was anyone in the room that looked like they could handle the job she was talking about. So far, all she had seen was a pair of big-mouthed, lunatics. Had she wanted that, she would have recruited Carnage and his "family". She was considering growing to her giant size, and vaporizing everyone in the bar with a single Waspsting, when she heard a familiar, and welcomed voice. "Ah, well, if it isn't the Red Skull's errand boy. Nice to see you again, Zemo. How are things with you and Karla? She still trying to kill you, for betraying her and the rest of the Dunder Bolts?" She said, a twisted, yet almost flirtatious smile on her face.

[kimura]

Kimura stopped looking at her nails giving Zemo a side ways look “Kimura.” she shook his hand briefly before looking back at Janet. Oh she had jokes “Oh no I’m being mocked by the abused housewife trying to be bad ass.” she said dryly not at all impressed with the woman “Oh but I will give you points for sending the laughing fool off to fight Deadpool. I would have just told him he didn’t have what it took to join but sending him to his death…well you get a few points for that I spouse.” she picked up a shot down it then slammed it on the bar hard enough to shatter it making everyone in the room jump. “No matter how bad you think you are now. I’m far worst then you could imagine. Be smart and don't say or do something stupid to make me kill you. I can be more useful to you if your alive."
She said waiting for the other woman to make her move to either show she had a brain or to end up dead like so many others. While she waited everyone else in the room started taking bets on which the former hero was going to do.

[hyena]

oocc - have to rewrite my text, lost it with a lost of connection to the site f**k

After explaining his abilities, Sebastian was rudely interrupted by a women mocking him, and so egotistic about herself. He stood there listening, having another drink, it wasn't time to fight, he didn't think she was worth the effort. Then this big guy dressed in purple arise giving hell, sounding like he has some kind of history with this mysterious women looking for a team. At least now Sebastian knew the woman name, Janet.

This Janet women finally acknowledged him again asking to go after this Deadpool guy. Sebastian wondered for a moment if it was the same super-freak he heard rumors about back home. As he was about to reply to it "Deadp..." again he was rudely interrupted by the bitch. She mocked him again, thinking that he didn't stand a chance. That was it, Hyena could take a laugh but she pushed a little bit too far. So after her little speech to Janet, he slammed his new drink on the counter, jumped up, landing directly on the bar counter in attack stance "Sacre blue! How about we forget Deadpool and serve some bitch for dinner!" as he pulled out a short sword.

OOC - Just modified my text for him to wait for her to talk to janet before wanting to attack... sorry wrote it quickly

[baronzemo]

Zemo got the feeling things were going to go bad... fast. He watched how it was playing out. Maybe Janet just hasn't had the work with these kind of folk? He decided to step up and from his side he unsheathed his sword slapping the flatside to the back of the other man's blade. When pushing the blade down he simply said, "Don't waste the energy Mr. Hyena. Obviously, the ladies want to see your talents. We criminal people love to play one another on emotions. Especially since women in crime are often seen weaker by most the men in the world. Myself not included of those ignorant folk."

Zemo raised his sword and told Hyena. "You obviously can use a weapon. And if you have the powers you say, you are more than worthwhile to any team. I would be honored to work beside you. However, it is always hard to trust someone you don't know." Zemo motioned to Kimura, "Look at her. She coldly looks down on us all. To in turn keep others away. Obviously, she wants to distance others."

Zemo turned to Janet as he walked to her side, and moved to attention. "Wasp is the leader. She respects you Mr. Hyena. Yet obviously she really wants to know the capabilities of your powers. I'd happily assist you on this mission letting the two girls get closer." He smirked under his hood, looking to Janet. Yet he also looked at Kimura she's really sure of herself. Must be something of a troubled history though. She seems minorly unwound. "Though by the looks of it. These two might be at ends with one another. So why not we all agree on something more reasonable. What are we?"

Zemo turned his head back and forth. Not to just these villains. Yet to all in the bar. He sighed deeply, "We're people. Ladies and Gentlemen. People have dreams, desires and wishes. What is it we all want? I want revenge on Captain America, for many reasons. As well like you mentioned Janet I would love to get a little how you say, personal reacquaintance with my ex-lover. Yet that's just me. I'm a simple man." Zemo raised his sword tip to Hyena, "You good sir, what do you want in life? Respect? Money? Women? Name it!" Then he motioned the blade to Kimura, yet not pointing it at her. Why? He had a reason. "What about you Lady of the Attitude? Does your heart not hunger to have things of many? Only to be denied with the horrid knowledge that your enemies will get in the way? Would it not be better if with help of capable criminals and villains you too could have every dream in your heart?"

Zemo turned to Janet, laying his hand on her shoulder. "Obviously, Janet came here because of her desire being one of leading a team. A team that have dreams. Which, I'm sure. Should we follow her? We can easily gain those same desires in time... just have faith in the reality, that we all need to be open to the desires of the leader as well our own." Looking back to the others he sheathed his sword, "And, if you don't feel that this team can help you with whatever you want. Perhaps, you should leave? I'm going to stay because I'm sure someway, Janet and I both can obtain our wishes. The Avengers dead and buried, and the respect of being the damn ones whom did it."

[wasp]

Janet was furious, to say the least, that this girl would speak to her like she did, as though she were some how better than Janet. "Housewife, eh?! How about I liquefy your small brain, just so I won't have to hear your damn lips, flapping?!" Her hands glowed, as bio-electrical energy surrounded them. She wanted to reduce the girl to a pile of ashes, just like she had to several of the Avengers Security lap-dogs, when she decided on another course of action, instead. "You know, I just realized that none of us seems to know you, brat, something that I want to change. If you want on this team, you're going to have to prove yourself, to me."

Janet looked over at Hyena, and walked over to him, placing a finger on his shoulder, flirtingly. "What do you think, Mr. Hyena? Think you can endure having her tag along with you? Maybe she'll help you defeat that idiot?" While she didn't know if he could handle someone as powerful as DeadPool, but she knew that this way, she would either have DeadPool's head, or the girl would end up dead and out of her way. Either way was good in Janet's book. She looked back over at the girl, and smiled. "Think you can handle it, brat? All you have to do is help Hyena kill DeadPool, and you're in. Fail, and well, I guess we'll know you couldn't handle it." She then looked over at Zemo, as he placed a hand on her shoulder, and nodded at him, agreeing with him. "I have to agree with you, Zemo, we need this, our pound of flesh, as it were. I need to kill Tony Stark and Clint Barton, and you need to kill Steve Rogers, more than we need our next breaths."

She then turned her attention to the other bar patrons, who had remained quite the whole time, not speaking for fear of being injured or killed by the villains, a sadistic look in her eyes, as her hands once again began to spark. "You are either with us, or you're dead. Which will it be?" Knowing that either of the four villains could kill them in under a second, without hesitation, and not wanting to risk fighting any Avengers, ran for the front door, like a hard of cattle, trying to escape. Feeling that they were all useless to her, she grew to her ten-foot height, and unleashed blast after blast, frying them, one by one, and laughing as each of them fell to the floor, dead. She took an extreme delight, as she killed man after man, knowing that with each death, the woman that she had been was buried deeper and deeper, with in her. As the last man fell, she looked back at Zemo, the sadistic gleam still on her face. "We're the Revengers, ofcourse."

[hyena]

The stance of rage was felt in Hyena's body, when the guy in purple moved up blocking his blade against his own. Trying to talk Hyena down from his emotions preaching as if he was a knight in shining armor, "Well Sir Purple o'lot" Hyena said "You ar right!". As he then let the purple dude continue his hallmark moment.

He keep his eyes on the bitch during his whole speech (((ooc - I will wait for Kimura to post before I post again after this one)))

Hyena laughed as even Janet gave hell to the women, then approached he in a flirty way. Finally Hyena had something to smile about focusing his attention to someone else. But couldn't believe that she wanted the crazy women to go with him to kill Deadpool. Hyena would prefer to be feed to sharks then that proposal, hoping he would get purple man instead. But Hyena didn't say a word, now sitting on the bar counter looking at Janet talking to the women again. Finally hearing the Revengers, as he laughed again. Can't get more unoriginal then that, but he didn't care, he just waited for crazy women to speak her mind again.
