Prison Convoy Attack
Date of Scene: 20 July 2021
Location: NYC
Synopsis: Juggernaut and some mercs attack a police convoy on Lex Luthor's command.
Cast of Characters: Jericho, Lex Luthor, Juggernaut, Winter Soldier, Phantasm (Drago), Supergirl




Jericho has posed:
    Mr. Jacob Abner has been arrested in connection with a very public attempt on Lex Luthor's life a couple of weeks ago during a speaking engagement at Empire State University. He had been detained at the precinct near campus, but now for some reason an order from 'on high' had come down instructing them to have him moved to a detention facility farther south.

    Despite the fact that Mr. Abner does appear to simply be human, he is packed into a police van with 2 other officers in the back, and 2 officers in the front including the driver, in addition to two squad cars in front and in back, both also with 2 officers inside of each. This is mostly because the police highly suspected that he hadn't been working alone, and that he might be part of some kind of crime ring--and those can be quite powerful...

Lex Luthor has posed:
Of course, the truth is often simpler than reality: Lex does NOT appreciate wannabe assassins, and wants to have a chat with the man himself... and assaulting a police station is just asking for a massive number of casualties that would draw far too much attention and interest.

On the other end, attacking a convoy on route is far less of a mess, and intercepting at a pre-determined area means much easier access to options for exit strategies.

Of course, the convoy needs to be dealt with first... sure, the warsuit could easily do the job... but Lex isn't looking to have the LexKnight suit directly connected to a convoy attack, at least not without enough cover for a plausible denial of involvement.

Fortunmately, there's a living wrecking ball that Lex knows of.. and Lex contacts him as L1 to arrange the job: One million to get the assassin captured or free... with half pay if he gets all the mercenaries killed; getting a reputation for getting your hired help killed is a good way to never get new hires, after all.

Above the city, a LexCorp satellie is already in position, tracking the convoy... and Lex sits a few miles away in a truck, watching in real time from the warsuit.

"Hit it." Comes an electronic voice over the radio to Juggernaut.

Juggernaut has posed:
It seems like overkill. Like breaking a dam open to deal with an outdoor grill whose chef got a little over eager with the lighter fluid. A police van, a few cop cars, some standard issue ammunition...This isn't exactly something that he would call a difficult job.

But then again, The Juggernaut has never complained about an easy meal ticket...and hey..a million?? He's gonna be eating good and hitting the resorts for at least a....month?

Either way, best not to look gift horses in the mouth and work has been slow lately. He's almost had to become..social again..So an opportunity such as this suits him just fine even if he expects it to be over rather quickly.

So when the order comes to 'hit it'.. hit it he does. Juggernaut's arrival is something akin to a ..small meteor impact and local seismic event as the huge and monstrously proportioned bruiser descends from up above, dropping down from a commissioned gunship to smash into the earth producing a gigantic sink hole and rolling shockwave that ripples out to slam into the first cars of the convoy. They go tumbling like toy cars being flipped from a yanked carpet, sirens wailing and metal screeching as the shockwaves continue on to disrupt the convoys movements and send cars and vans screeching to a halt.

The hired help arrives on foot now, gunfire riddling out towards the officers and the cars and counter fire being exchanged as the officers work to quickly regroup and attempt to mount a defense against the arriving mercs.

Juggernaut emerges from the massive crater and begins trundling forward towards the van while whistling boredly and dusting his hands off. Gunfire pings off of his armor and thuds harmlessly into his flesh but he pays it little mind, instead bearing down on the transport van with an almost bored cadence to his earth shaking steps.

Winter Soldier has posed:
    As the convoy was due to set off, there was a last minute change in officers escorting the prisoner. Instead of the expected man, up had strolled an officer with the name tag 'Chapman C.', assigned to prisoner escort. No stripes on his uniform, no stars, with a badge just as scuffed and tarnished as anyone else's. Had anyone checked, they'd even have found an officer Chapman as part of the 3rd Precinct, an everything from his uniform hat, to his badge, to the sloppy crease in his uniform pants would have passed muster. Except for wearing a long-sleeved shirt and gloves as if he were on ceremonial duty, there is absolutely nothing odd about the blue eyed officer who turns out to be fairly good company. Except, of course, that Officer Chad Chapman is so much fiction. From the hat, to the badge, to the sloppy crease in the uniform pants.

    He's leaning back against the side of the van, eyes half closed and faintly smiling, seemingly a very laid-back escort of the kind that gets the worst assignments despite being probably at least vaguely competent. Why he got this assignment, who knows? And he has the annoying habit of having his radio on slightly too loud.

    To hide the other radio ear piece that's feeding him actual intel.

    After a short while, and just before the ambush hits, officer Chapman raises his eyebrows and widens his smile at the poor officer that's sharing the compartment with him, just before giving a single glance to Mister Abner.

    "What you laughin' 'bout, Chapman? Something funny?" The slightly overweight officer with him snaps.
    "We're about to have company."
    "What? The hell you know?"
    "A little birdie told me."

    And then he braces himself for impact. Yeah, this is gonna sting...

    When the van has stopped tossing everyone around like peas in a pod, Chapman stands, dusts himself off, and looks over to the other officer "You may want to sit this one out."

    And then he punches the van door open, throwing away his hat and grinning at Juggernaut. "Well well... should have known it'd be you."

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Flying above the convoy but a bit less noticable than the incoming heroes, a purplish black bird flies along. Considering all that's going on it doesn't seem all that notable. Although one of the larger variety of birds with a three foot wingspan, it still is, just a bird. Wearing a communications device.

Ok so maybe the corvid following along was not normal. But it's got to draw less attention than the large dome head causing chaos. Even if the raven had been using the comm to give Bucky a play by play of what was going on.

The bird doesn't dive in. That wasn't the point of Phantasm being there. And unless a certain Soldier down below says otherwise he's going to have to trust that he's got things handled. Well until some new big bad comes in on the scene. But even then he's got to narc on it first.

And speaking of big bad. Yes. There was a warning sent to his friend on the inside for the Juggs show too.

Jericho has posed:
    To say the least, the convoy wasn't prepared for...well, the Unstoppable Juggernaut. They had been expecting maybe a bunch of armed criminals, but this? This was way out of their league. The squad cars go tumbling, and the front of the van crumples. The driver is unconscious, while the rest of the officers jump out and get behind the wrecked vehicles to use them as cover as they exchange gunfire with the attackers. Shooting at Juggernaut definitely doesn't do anything, and they are powerless to stop his advance. "--make sure Abner is secure!" crackles over the police radios as the chaos unfolds.

    "Nu-uh, -you- stay here and--!" Inside the van, Officer Brandon, the other guy in the back with undercover Bucky, gapes at the fact that 'Chapman' just punched the door of the van open in the middle of him trying to tell him to stay on babysitter duty. Well then. Guess he's stuck with with it then...he glances at Abner, who smirks. "Well, it looks like you're outta your league here, officer." he remarks snidely.

    Sure enough, Phantasm goes unnoticed. Yes, he's a big bird, but there is far too much chaos going on down on the ground for any of the police to take notice.

Lex Luthor has posed:
Over the comms, that voice continues, "No incoming from above. Get the package and transport will move to exit point."

Hidden spy satellites; one of the many benefits of a telecomms subsidiary.

Juggernaut has posed:
"Everybody out whose getting' out while the getting' is good!" thunders Juggernaut as he draws near to the van..only to blink as the door is blown right off. "What the.."

The boldness of 'Chapman' does cause Juggernaut to arc an eyebrow and squint at him through the eye slits of his helmet and his whistling comes up short as he racks his brain in an attempt to draw some recognition here. He fails at this and just ends up pursing his lips and then rumbling, "Yeah..do I know you? Not that it matters. Unless you got a couple of Hulk's tucked away somewhere in which case...it still aint gonna matter."

The instructions are given over the comm and he grunts and presses in. "You got about three seconds to get outta the way... Shoo." He makes a few flippant casual gestures with his hand, trying to 'wave' Chapman off as he would wave off an annoying child ...but his approach subtly changes from that bored lumbering one to one with a bit more looming menace, likely not helped by the fact that he compares in size to said van and his immense frame begins to swallow 'Chapman' from sight, visually as he draws nearer.

The mercenaries are a rag-tag group but they're doing their job and the unsettling presence and thunderous arrival of Juggernaut has done much to rattle the officers and let the dozen or so mercs keep them pinned. A few move to cover Juggernaut, taking note of Chapman as well and raising guns to take aim as soon as an opening reveals itself.

Winter Soldier has posed:
    There are moments when James Buchanan Barnes feels incredibly out-gunned. Granted, last time was the sudden appearance of the Panzer 5, version D at Trois Ponts, the tank the Germans would always insist on calling the Panther. That was one naughty kitty indeed, and not something you want to meet equipped with just your rifles and a few frag grenades. And Steve Rogers, of course, that was very much the equalizer in that fight. But right now, here he is... no Howling Commandos, no Captain America, and no howitzer which may be his only hope of stopping the Juggernaut. Or, well, at least slow him down a bit. So he'll put out the call over the 'special' frequency, just before squaring off. "Agent Barnes, have sighted Cain Marko, assault in progress at my location." Not that he expects anyone to be able to get here in time.

    And much like an old west gunslinger, he draws his sidearm, taking stock of the tactical situation. "Yeah, can't let you do that. This doesn't have to get ugly..." hah, for whom?

    And as a stage whisper in his other radio link. "Ravenlord, if you've got an idea, now's the time, or people are going to die."

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl just happened to be patrolling from up above, although she was rather enjoying a quiet, peaceful flight.l.Up until she spotted the cub it being attacked by a massive being. Oh she's probably heard of the unstoppable Juggernaut but never met him. He's hard to avoid really, and kinda.lIntimidating, although she's seen worse.

She wastes no time in diving downwards, focused primarily on taking care of innocents, and as the vehicles go out of control she will ficus first on trying to steady them, grabbing the nearest spinning van, digging her heels into the ground to try and stop it from spinning.

Once that's done she focuses on Juggy, eyes narrowed. Finger pointed at him. "You only get one warning before I cause you serious hurt. Back off or I'll be forced to stop you."

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Sunny Day.
Sweepin' the clouds away.
On my way to where the air is sweet.
Can you tell me how to get?
How to get to -

Oh right. Wrong big bird.

The whispered request for help reaches the bird in the air. To which the acrobatic bird flips mid air to swoop down in the direction of Bucky. < How about a powerup Phantasm style? Stall. You'll know when it hits. >

The raven's path comes down ground level flying up behind the soldier before swooping up at the last second, talons latching onto his shoulder. And for some reason. He turns his head to the right wile the wings arc up for a bit giving a bit of a halo effect around Bucky's head. Or he's mimicking a US Eagle. Either way, hopefully it's weird enough to stall any observers while the phantasm feeds some of his ability into Bucky.

Jericho has posed:
    With all the chaos going on outside, Officer Brandon is getting terribly restless. It doesn't look like Abner has tried anything yet, but with Supergirl's arrival, he can tell this part of the street is about to turn into a warzone and he'd -really- rather not be anywhere near that when it happens. Plus, it's starting to smell like gasoline in here which could only mean one thing. He was supposed to secure the prisoner--so that's what he's going to do. There's another precinct nearby, he'll take the man there.

    He jerks the sniper up by his handcuffs. "C'mon, let's get moving. I'm taking you somewhere safe. If you're smart you'll cooperate." He kicks open a side door, and begins to escort the prisoner out, hoping the mercs won't notice with the firefight that's going on. At least the other officers are doing their part to keep them occupied...

Lex Luthor has posed:
"One of the side doors is open and it looks like the package is being escorted away. Supergirl came in too fast for visual. Deal with her as you see fit, but the package is the priority. Again, Both outcomes are positive here." The voice comes over the radio, "Suppress him."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut freezes as he hears Supergirl. His eyes dilating to pinpricks as he looks on in shock. It's like...a trigger. It's like...how can he -not- utter these words after a statement like that from Supergirl.

"Stop....me..??"

Juggernaut's eyes widen and a full tooth grin seems to grow from ear to ear. His entire physique seems to bulk up ever larger as the giant begins rolling back the restraints and Cyttorak's urge to cause destruction wells up within him. Mind you...he -did- hear Lex as well. The bossman has spoken. He's on the job. A pure focus on Supergirl doesn't bring success here...but it's still hard to just ignore that.

"Are you serious? Aint you heard of me? NOTHING CAN STOP THE JUGGERNAUT!!!"

His reaction combines priceless with that of a temper tantrum. A massive fist hauls backwards like a trebuchet winding up and then he swings, bringing the fist downward not for Bucky directly but for the ground between the two. He's not known for restraint when aggravated and so he uses little to none here - resulting in something akin to a ground zero seismic event exploding right infront of Bucky, the van and unfortunately the mercs who are a little to close for comfort and underestimated the reach of Juggernaut's capabilities.

The display will do little to nothing against Supergirl as she is airborne but it does send any on their feet who aren't capable of withstanding the shockwave and the ground rending into huge fissures and canyons, hurtling or falling and debris flying and probably some unconscious bodies. The van itself is tossed skywards as well, tumbling violently but fortunately Brandon and Abner had exited. -Unfortunately- it means they are outside when the blast hits.

Really now, Hulk should sue.

Supergirl has posed:
To be honest, Supergirl isn't entirely sure if she *can* stop him. Certainly, she is very strong, but she's heard this guy is like, Hulk level strong maybe? Heck he could give even Super,an a run for his money..Maybe..

Not like that's gonna stop her from trying. But first thing's first.lAnd as that van gets thrown into the sky, she rushes up to try and catch it before it can add to the mayhem, lowering it carefully to the ground.

There are way too many people on the ground for her to fly fir safety at the same time, so she inhales a deep breath, and tries to blow as many out of direct line of the earthquake as possible. It's likely she won't blow everyone to safety but with any luck she can a5 least get those at ground zero out of the way..

Winter Soldier has posed:
    There's an almost invisible sigh of relief when Bucky feels the odd sensation of ... well, sensation dropping away from him just after the feeling of those talons grip his shoulder. And not a moment too soon... Half expecting to be flattened by that huge fist coming at him, the Winter Soldier weaves to the side, only to see the full blast of the broken street come at him in a shockwave of unstoppable destruction...

    In reflex, he kneels down, turns his head and closes his eyes.
    The latter would end up saving his life.

    There isn't much left of the street where Bucky stood, and it certainly looks like the courageous officer Chad Chapman has been erased from existence, a mere smear somewhere a few blocks away. Alas Chad, we barely...

    No!

    A figure starts to appear from the dust cloud, jogging towards the Juggernaut. It's slow at first, but picking up speed, as unstoppable as the tides, as inevitable as continental drift.

    The amalgam of Phantasm and Winter Soldier makes his appearance...

    The Winternaut charges!

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
And upon the Winternaut's shoulder the large purplish black corvid perches. The black bead of the eyes narrow above the beak as he rides his -sometimes noble- steed into action.

For those who may have been there during the attack on a certain building in Metropolis, they might find this eerily similar to a Bullet Proof Vampire Slayer running through some heavily armed mercs over there as well.

It does not happen often. But when it does.

It it Glorious.

Jericho has posed:
    Suddenly, the ground is erupting everywhere, as if they were near the epicenter of some crazy earthquake as Juggernaut slams it with his powerful fists. Fortunately, Supergirl is able to get some of the officers out of the way with that massive breath of hers, including Brandon and Abner. Although a good number of mercs were thrown off their feet and some aren't getting back up for a while. Granted, there had been more of them.

    "That was a close one..." Brandon mutters to himself, glancing around at the destruction wrought. His first concern is for his fellow officers--he's looking to see if they're okay. But suddenly he stiffens, his composure changing. He jerks Abner again, prodding his back with the barrel of his sidearm. "Get moving."
    "Okay, okay." The of them continue toward the local precinct, as the rest still appear quite distracted.

Lex Luthor has posed:
It's around this time an armored humvee races onto the scene down the block, practically right in the way of the officer and Jacob, and a side door opens, a mercenary with an assault rifle pointed at the officer, "Thank you for the escort, we'll take it from here."

Meanwhile, Lex splits his satellite view of the event into one for the humvee and one for the fight itself. "Package being secured. If the escort tries to run with it, deal with it."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut may have the physique of a roided out gorilla that's dined on the combine mass of the past few decades of the largest of Yokozuna's ..but he's got some tactical sense and smarts, even when enraged. His goal there had been to actually give Supergirl something to do and to keep her busy while he refocused on the task at hand. Cyttorak may be urging him towards razing the landscape into dust but..a guys gotta earn a paycheck and Juggernaut wasn't called upon to just engage in a mindless slugfest.

Thus as the quake sends the landscape boiling and rumbling violently, he steadies his own great mass and roots himself against the quakes while twisting to begin to turn his attention towards the target of his overall assault. He sees Brandon and Abner beginning to make their way forward on foot and Juggernaut's vast body begins looming and pressing in that direction, starting into a slow jog to begin to close the distance His very steps adding to the after shocks caused by his previous display, "C'mere.." he rumbles out stretching a massive arm forth.

He did not, however, account for a...Winternaut? "Hey--what the!?!"

The strength between them is still a gulf beyond reckoning. Super Soldier serum, enhanced or no, The Juggernaut finds arm wrestling with the strongest in existence a good way to warm up in the morning.. But physics is still a thing and that pin point strength coupled with that vibranium arm go barreling into the giants legs and lower torso as he begins his sideways march and Juggernaut goes tumbling over to the side, crashing like a collapsing building and digging up a wall of rubble on either side of him. Yet another quake. How embaressing. He's even being watched by the guy writing the checks and the word that the package is being secured brings him little comfort. "Right.".

Winter Soldier has posed:
    Okay, so he didn't think that would work twice. Even with Phantasm backing him up, there was little hope in Bucky's mind that he'd be able to knock the Juggernaut over twice with the same trick. But that locker has been shot, and he's going to have to figure out some more tricks.

    First point of order? Distance. Get away from the immediate wrath and buy some time to figure out an alternate strategy or lure the Juggernaut away from the officer escorting Abner. /Away/, that's the ticket, keep the muscle tied up so that one of New York's finest can get the prisoner ... well, either to safety if this is a hit, or away from the would be rescuers if this is some attempt to spring him. Either way, as long as he can keep the Juggernaut here, there's a chance.

    He's unaware of the intercept being made even as he thinks all this but a scant few blocks away.

    "Thanks for the assist." He whispers to Phantasm. "How long can you keep this up?"

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl narrows her eyes, scanning the landscape, saddened that she was unable to save more people..Superman would have saved everyone at the same..But right now they'll have to make do with his younger, weaker, less experienced cousin. "Everyone get out of here..Now!" she warns, hoping people run away rather than towards the Juggernaut.

Shes about to utter a warning to Winter soldier too, before he..merges with a crow..And charges at Juggy with a surprisingly powerful arm..Ahh, that's no ordinary metal. Okay then..

Once he punches the giant, knocking off-balance, Super girl rushes in, inhaling deeply and unleashing a freezing breath, attempting to encase him in a block of ice before he can get up and wreck more havok..At the very least, maybe she can buy the others time to escape.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
"Oh I'm rested. we've got a bit of time left." Phantasm assures, "Not near the limit yet." The raven turns his head, watching as Supergirl comes near Winter to try and give Juggernaut some Freezer burn. "Calvary's here anyways."

Jericho has posed:
    Officer Brandon glares at the merc. He seems to have suddenly taken on a much more determined and aggressive attitude. It was clear to him that these guys wanted Abner alive. If not, they would have killed him already. Pulling Jacob up against himself, he holds his pistol up against the sniper's temple.

    "Make a move and I'll kill him." he threatens. A police officer threatening to kill a prisoner in cold blood just like that? But anyone could tell from the look on his face and the icy, resolute tone of his voice that he was serious as serious could get.

    Even Abner looked shocked. "What the hell Brandon, thought you were 'getting me to safety'?" That gets him a face full of pistol barrel. "Shut up!"

Juggernaut has posed:
"You idiots trying to make me look bad??"

The entire landscape is rent asunder as Juggernaut reaches down and yanks the earth upward as if pulling a carpet free. Literally rolling up a gigantic chunk of the area before him into a monstrously huge block of concrete, earth, and who knows what else as easily as if he were just balling up a comforter or sleeping bag. His glowering eyes fall on the retreating Bucky but before he can send the boulder of rubble at theWinter Soldier and his partner in crime Supergirl gets into the mix.

Her freezing breath envelops him, building ice rapidly around his form and briefly locking him into a literal freeze frame that gives Bucky and Phantasm a chance to properly get clear and holds the giant at bay..but not for very long.

The ice gives way as the behemoth pivots, turning about and sundering it like as his arm lunges forward and shot puts the rubble at Supergirl herself with an explosive sonic boom accompanying the force of the attack..

Winter Soldier has posed:
    Lessons learned from fighting tanks at close quarters include such things as never standing in front of the main armament, never standing directly in front of the direction of travel, and staying out of sight of any secondary armaments until you can blind side them. Those are lessons hard learned, and Bucky is treating this like man versus tank, which is why he's not there when the boulder is thrown. There's a moment of concern when he sees that projectile sail towards Supergirl... a mere moment, because that boulder is traveling at speed! And it gives him an idea.

    The idea is to lure the Juggernaut in the wrong direction, not defeat him. Or, at least, keep him busy until they could get someone here who could contain him. Preferably Thor and the Hulk. At the same time.

    So he grabs what remains of a smashed police car, checks for a moment to make sure it's empty, and hurls it towards the Juggernaut.

    "Hey, big and ugly, pick on someone your own size!"

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl's eyes widen, still trying to get more people clear of the battle field while Juggy is momentarily frozen. She didn't expect it to hold him for long, but she's still caught off guard as he slams the massive chunk of rubble at her like she's little more than a baseball being batted at..And she may be strong and tough and a heavy hitter, but he's stronger and tougher. He sends her flying a long ways away, a couple miles or more even, enough at least that she's tossed out of sight and quite well buried under quite a lot of rubble. Probably not enough to kill or seriously injure her, but she'll definitely be out of the fight..For a little while at least.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Lessons learned when phantasming others iclude that it's very hard to do the equivalent of a three legged race and it's better if one is being carried and not going against the other. And being even on Phantasm's best day he can't throw a freaking car. He's deferring to the one who can and continues perching upon Bucky. So long as the task gets done he's perfectly fine being that +10 boost to the stats. Or whatever the going rate Phantasm abilties are. Nick's not a tabletop gamer. He has no clue.

The bird's eyes widen as he watches Supergirl get knocked out of the immediate area. Oh sh- YEP. Bucky's strength concentrated is the way to go here. But as Bucky starts to call out to Juggernaut the bird glances down.

Oh they're taunting now?

Upon the top of Bucky's head the raven extends his wings out. Bringing one wing down and the other up at the same time in a birdy interpretation of an obscene gesture towards Juggernaut.

Thank goodness there are no kids around.

Juggernaut has posed:
"You saw what I did to that Superman wannabe and you're -still- talking like you got a chance?"

This is said after Juggernaut allows the cop car to slam into his immovable frame, crumpling like so much tissue against his vast form. He pauses and listens as if receiving new instructions and then he just gives a grin.
"It's your lucky day, chumps! Next time, baby!"

He gives a quick two fingered salute that might even be considered good humored under different circumstances but really is just the result of a massive sense of self confidence. To much really.

With that he turns and begins breaking into a steady jog..and then a pounding earth shaking run that is no doubt triggering seisommeters in the area. Either way he picks up more and more speed and soon is rushing out of the area as a full on run away freight train.

Winter Soldier has posed:
    Okay then. As Juggernaut leaves at speed, Bucky watches him go. Honestly, he's not sad to see that man get away from him again, because quite frankly... this had been a close shave.

    He'll have to do something about that.

    "Thank you for the assist, Phantasm. You probably don't want to be here when it's time for the explaining."

    Because the area... yeah... it's a mess.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
With Juggernaut rushing off, the bird glances around for any other threats before he hops off of Bucky. Taking his powers with him. The large bird looks to Bucky from his shorter standing position, "Who interviews a bird?"

Either way he doesn't argue beyond that. "If you get out early enough, you're more than welcome swing by. Beers are restocked." Wings spreading he hops into the air and flies off.
