Falcon has posed:
The Chesterford family is one of the wealthiest families in Greenwich Village. Their patriarch, Zebulon Chesterford, is a notorious recluse whose relatives have been badgering him for years to write a will. Rather than do that he's arranged for a family reunion in Washington Square Park, even arranging for a catering company to provide food for them.

Chesterfords of all ages are present. Except for Zebulon, but does that even matter? I mean, the rest of the family gets free food and a chance to mingle with their relatives on a bright, sunny day. Eventually, however, a tractor trailer drives up to an entrance to the park. It is driven by a humanoid robot, of all things. The robot parks his vehicle and steps out, moving to the back of the trailer to lift it to reveal three rows of robots identical to the driver robot.

The mechanical beings file out of the truck and start heading towards the family reunion, fanning out so that they can surround the Chesterfords, most of whom are watching in astonishment.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp has been doing some research on some robots of late, and heard something about a robot driving through town, and he headed towards the direction it was going. He does make it to the park as the front one starts unloading the others. He hmms a bit and moves up into the trees, to get a closer look at the bots.

Spider-Man has posed:
Pff, fancy food? Not for this Web-head. He's nearby, atop a building, legs dangling off, mask pulled up over his nose and he's eating a hotdog. He's watching the going-ons in the square as, honestly, right now there's not a lot going on. No day-time bank robberies. When the truck unloads the bots he does sit up a bit straighter, squinting a bit. "Huh, robots" he says, mouth full of hotdog. Another moment and he just crams in the last bite re-covers his face before starting to crawl down. The tech in him is curious about the metal men.

Falcon has posed:
The Falcon is flying over the city, traveling to the Helicarrier after grabbing a bite to eat. As he passes over the park his goggles pick up the strange signatures belonging to the troupe of robots. Curiosity gets the best of him and Sam decides to circle the scene to study the goings on more closely.

The robots finish surrounding the family. The robots begin to speak simultaneously, "Zebulon Chesterford has requested that you all cease to harrass him regarding his will. In order to make sure that this happens we will be exterminating you. Please line up to be executed."

The Chesterfords don't seem to know what to do. Some of them start to laugh. Others start to look for a way out. One of them drunkenly stumbles up to a robot and punches it ineffectually, "Screw you, tin can! And screw Uncle Zebulon! You're not killing me today." The robot immediately pops some manner of energy weapon out of its arm and melts the guy. People begin screaming at the horrific sight, trying to run from the robotic forces.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp blinks a moment "Well not the robots, I was looking for but." And he swings in from the branches to grab a robot that is bringing up a weapon to fire at the people and grabbing it with his feet as he comes by moves to toss it into the one who just zapped the guy "Hey now, you can't just go killing people cause they are annoying, if so I would know a lot less annoying people.

Spider-Man has posed:
Spider-man's just about there when Drunk Uncle Bob gets melted. He kicks into action mode, the leisurely crawl turns into a full on swing to the party, and into one of the robots with a swinging kick, saying "I'm not sure you're licensed for that weapon." As the robot's falling he flips back atop another one of the robots, and webs up what he assumes are the eyes by his best guess. He spies the Detective and says "Who brought the monkey?" while webbing another robot's hand and tugging to make it punch the one he's atop of at the moment.

Falcon has posed:
When the dude on the ground gets turned into a pile of goo, Sam Wilson flies into action! He dives down through the air, building up speed as he approaches the mechanical menaces. Due to the proximity of Chesterfords and other civilians to the robots missiles and rockets aren't viable. You know what does work? The pair of submachine guns that spring into his hands. A burst of automatic fire shreds one of the robots as the Falcon zooms over the action.

The strength of the chimp is more than enough to slam one mechanical menaces into another. The two go down in a pile of crunched up metal, all entangled in each other.

A small Chesterford child is about to get melted when Spider-man kicks the head off of the robot about to do the melting. One of those nick of time moments.

The other Chesterfords are freaking out, but the robots are programmed to respond first to a threat to their unit. So the three heroes become the newest targets of the robots. In unison, the metal men speak out, "You have interfered in our mission. Please line up in an orderly fashion to be exterminated."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over and says "The Chimp brought chimp, Bug-man." He calls out to spider-man. The robots asking them to line up gets a smirk "Polite little killdrones aint they." He moves running in to get amongst and under the robots. His jacket flapping as he goes. He does stop at one and does his best wookie impression, but he is shorter than a wookie, so just rips a leg of one of the robots.

Spider-Man has posed:
Poor kid, parents must be worried sick. Though given the crowd, maybe they're just concerned for themselves. Spidey scoops up the kid and does a roll, then swings away long enough to get the kid to safety. "Stick with the group of rich folk," he tells him, before hopping back in time to be told he's a threat. Also the Chimp is talking. "I know I shouldn't be surprised," Spidey says, dodging a quick blast from one of the Melto-bots, making sure the angle is thus it doesn't hit anyone. "Especially given that I'm pretty sure there's a pig version of me running around, but man.." He pauses, webs a robots legs and tugs to trip it down, "I did not wake up this morning thinking 'I sure bet I meet a talking Chimp today.'"

Falcon has posed:
The Falcon makes a great target for the robots to shoot at, taking full advantage of his wings to make himself as difficult a target as possible. The robots aren't the best marksmen and their ray guns send lasers streaking through the sky. Sam manages to shoot a couple of the robots to pieces, taking care not to put rounds near any of the citizens trying not to die.

Detective Chimp manages to confuse a couple robots enough so that they shoot each other. They are melted into slag.

The little kid Spidey bailed out of trouble screams and runs away, trying his best to avoid death. He's polite, though, as he yells, "Thanks, dude!"

The robotic forces say, "Prepare for death!" Death rays continue streaking out from robotic appendages, but their number has greatly diminished.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp starts wielding the robot leg like a sword hitting this robot or that one with it, keeping moving. Towards Spiderman, he will call out "Hey he is a decent fellow, needs to work on his poker face though. Keeps getting bluffed out of pots by Howard." What is the chimp talking about, who knows. He does throw something at a robot who was getting a aim on Falcon, and luckily it was just a rock he flung.

Spider-Man has posed:
"I'm not going to ask," Spidey says to the Detective. Things are weird already. He's fighting killer robots with a Chimp and a Falcon Man, even by his standards these are a little unusual. Speaking of Falcon, Spidey sees the air support, thus sticks a webline to two robots, angles in a hard turn and hurls them in the air calling out "PULL!" to create some skeet for the air support. Last second Spidey-Sense warns of not one but two quick blasts coming his way and he flips back and lifts up a boot at the last minute as some of the ground is slagged where he was a moment ago.

Falcon has posed:
"Thanks! Nice throw," The Falcon tells Detective Chimp after he helps prevent the flying hero's demise. Sam keeps his aerial acrobatic antics going, mowing down robots whenever he gets the opportunity. At one point he pulls up dramatically, planting his feet against a robot's torso and blasting it with automatic fire before jumping upwards to resume flying. As Spider-man throws some robots in the air the bird based hero lifts an arm and fires off a rocket that slams into the pair to disintegrate them. "Another nice toss!"

The couple of remaining robots continue to fire their blasts, but the threat has been greatly diminished. "Zebulon says you must die!" The remaining constructs say in unison.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp will move to one of the nearest robot, and lands on his face. He leans in and seems to going to bite the robot's face, but stops and just reaches up to rip open the head of the robot. He does sniff the robot a moment, as he rides it down, enhanced senses looking for scent of explosives.

Spider-Man has posed:
"Who names their kid Zebulon?" Spidey asks, having to quickly get out of the way of several blasts as he gets targeted pretty hard for whatever reason. As two robots are about to fire, he does the old "Leap Out Of The Way And Make Them Shoot Each Other" tricks which seems to work. He lands on another, saying "Seriously, sounds like he should be an evil wizard." He twists a bit to throw off the aim of the one he's on so he again hits the ground harmlessly before just finding a gap in the plating and filling it with web till there's a weird, burning smell. The last one? Spiderman kicks one knee out, then the other, putting him more or less at Chimp Height in case the Detective wants to finish him off. "Maybe these are magic robots," he suggests.

Falcon has posed:
The Chesterfords, now safe from the robotic menace, have done a great job of fleeing the scene thanks to the distraction and combat prowess provided by our heroes. Much of the rest of the park has cleared out now, too. The remains of the robots don't have any explosives in them, being built for straight up combat missions, apparently. Sam Wilson lands on the ground, his wings folding back into his backpack, and looks over at the other two brave souls who risked it all to stop the massacre, "Great work, fellas. Glad we could work together." He's not sure who to look at more, the bug guy or the talking chimp. Both seem unusual in the extreme. "SHIELD's on the way, as are local emergency services. Don't know if you'd like to stick around for the debrief but I'm not going to hold you up."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over to Sam and says "Shield is already here." He reaches into his jacket and pulls out a Shield ID Badge. He does pull one of the robots heads off, and tucks it under his arm "Going to need this to have my guy look at it, but don't think these are the droids I am looking for."
