Cast of Characters: Spiral, Black Widow (Romanoff), Spider-Man




Spiral has posed:
It's late at night, the Brox is still a noisy play house for the rowdy inhabitants of the city, with horns going off as cabbies slam on their brakes and the walls of buildings cause the echos to build and both die.

Underneath the bridge to manhattan, hidden from prying eyes, a trio of white, unmarked, windowless vans have parked and a single black sedan about ten years old is parked with it's lights on.

"Hey hey hey! Man, shut off the lights. You a thick motha fucker or what?" Says a thug, waving a pistol towards the driver before he clicks the lights off and slowly steps out. "Hey man, sorry I don't know."

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
ATF had gotten word through the grapevine that something was going down. SHIELD was called in to assist simply for manpower. An illegal weapons deal wasn't usually their area but professional courtesy has its moments. There is a team set up about a half mile away, ready to respond at a moment's notice. At a quarter mile, there are the observers with high powered binoculars, watching the goings-on and keeping everyone in the loop on their comms. They have a listening dish aimed in the direction of the bridge but it's hit and miss with the sounds of traffic above.

Which is why they have someone else closer.

A little spider clinging to the bottom of the bridge, lost in the shadows of the support beams, simply an observer until the time is right.

Spiral has posed:
"Okay, okay, I'm out! Now... lets see whatchu got man." Says the potential buyer as he moves to the back of the right most van and the double doors swing open. A man with a pair of silver arms and a glowing blue eye steps out and with a huge shit eating grin on his lips before he boisterously shouts out his glee at a sale. "Well aren't you a green lookin fellow. Step over to our magic carpet filled with the greatest weapons this side of the Stark paywall!"

The buyer slowly takes his hat off and runs a hand across his bald head, wiping the sweat away before wringing his hat below his belly. He's new at this, likely never owned a gun, but here he is...

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
That gets the comms buzzing.

Potential meta in the group. Databases being checked to see if he is known to SHIELD or the ATF. Questions flying of how to approach and deal with the situation.

Through it all, the Widow remains quiet. She's too close to even be whispering into her communit. The fact it is down low and rests in her ear canal is the only reason it isn't audible. She shifts slightly, moving through the shadows, trying to get an angle to see in the back of the vans. Once payload is verified, they will roll.

Spiral has posed:
"My-my" Pause, breath, "My daughter is dating some mutant freak and I want something to really scare him away from her and my family." The buyer request-explains his needs.

A hand lifts to the sellers chin as he ponders this over and then reaches out and snaps the back of his hand against the buyer's chest. "I got JUST the thing for you my good man!" And he jumps down, walks over to the middle van and swings those doors open.

"Here we got ourselves an honest to goodness peace-maker." He continues to sell as he bends in to put both metal arms on a device and pulls it out, looking like a repurposed rpg with what appear to be veins and wires of glowing blue fluid. "This'll turn a housecat inside out at fifty yards. This'll take care of your mutant problem lickity split." He says then winks and nudges the buyer with an elbow. "Nah, too messy, too big..." And the buyer lets out a weak, sad, scared chuckle.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
With that verfication, the team is inbound.

Although the buyer is an intolerant moron, Natasha realizes he isn't a hardened criminal. In fact, he seems on the verge of having a heart attack if things hit the fan. So she does what she feels is right. She opts to scare him straight before the rest of the team arrives. It will give him a chance to get out of the area since they are more interested in the sellers, not the little fish buyer.

She simply releases from the beam she has been clinging to, flipping backwards in a tuck then landing right behind the buyer. She keeps her eyes on the seller, more concerned about him and the others in those vans. "I think you should just tell him you don't want him seeing your daughter," she says helpfully. "Use your words."

Spiral has posed:
The buyer yelps with surprise as a person suddenly speaks behind him and he's turning around as the Seller, reaches back into the van and pulls out the weapon he just mentioned and with a whine, the thing spools on and wirrs up.

"We got... Holy shit an avenger!" He calls out. Levelling the weapon he pulls the trigger with his slung and aimed from his hip. A blueish ball of energy lances out from the weapon from awfully close. He wasn't too familiar with the weapon and the quick draw wasn't his speciality causing the blast to go wide and hits a tree, causing it to literally turn inside out and explode from inside.

Whoa.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
That would be no fun.

Natasha shoves the buyer to the ground to get him clear of what's about to happen. She's moving to the side, raising her arm and not even hesitating to fire a electrostatic charge in the direction of the seller. She level would be enough to incapacitate a regular human. Hopefully the metal will make it more conductive. Or he might just ignore it and shoot at her again.

Not something she's going to stand around and wait for. She drives forward to close the distance, brining up a roudhouse kick for his head whether the Widow's Bite worked or not. He needs to be taken out of play quickly.

Spiral has posed:
"Who-AAAAAAAGH!" The man says as he starts to writhe and drops his weapon as he falls onto his backside writhing in pain and agony.

The buyer lands on his backside and yelps in fear as he tries to crawl away towards his own car.

The sellers associates quickly attempt to abandon him as they're in the three vans and peeling out as they attempt to flee from the avenger.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
The man on the ground receives a kick to the temple in an attempt to knock him out. This time Natasha pulls out the pair of Glock 26s from the holsters strapped to her thighs. She quickly fires off six shots, three from each. The shots are aimed for the both back tires on each of the vehicles. She is careful, making sure that she hits where she is aiming. Wouldn't do to hit the body of the vans and blow up something inside of them. This is just to either stop them or at least slow them down.

The mass of SHIELD and ATF black unmarked vehicles are within sight now, making a beeline for the vans from several different directions.

Spiral has posed:
Natasha easily shoots the tires out, as she's one of the most practiced agents in SHIELD's payroll. So the vans continue to attempt flee, but there's no traction on the busted rear tires. The guys in the vans are freaking out, as evidenced by the erratic and uncontrolled chucks of rubber flying off the rear tires.

Spider-Man has posed:
The sounds of gunshots are enough to draw out the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. The sound of bullets puncturing tires only adds to it, and he swings into the area, landing in an incredibly awkward looking crouched position on a lamp post. Recognising the S.H.I.E.L.D. markings on Natasha's uniform, he takes it to mean that the people in the van are the bad guys, and the woman is the good guy. "You're with S.H.I.E.L.D. huh, so I'm taking this on a whim that you're a good guy, but don't get any ideas. I saw that Black Widow symbol on your belt. This spider isn't for eating, all right?" He says that even as he's leaping from his spot, backwards, and spraying the front of the van with his webbing. If it were still in a driveable condition after the bullets towards the tires, then he was going to make it so they wouldn't know where they were going. After that, there were two more quick thwips of webbing on either door, trying to lock them in there, assuming whatever was inside didn't have great strength. And then he fires off another webline, swinging back towards the woman, "so, how come I've never seen you at any of the spider parties?"


Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Seeing the familiar figure joining the fray, Natasha arches a brow in curiosity as he webs up the front of the vans. She hasn't moved from her spot, simply waiting until the vans stop or don't stop. Right now, she's a little concerned that there is a costume in the mix.

She's the last person who would have a problem with a costumed hero helping out. Her fellow agents, that can be iffy. They are about to block the passage of the vans with their own vehicles, boxing them in. Hopefully those guys brake in time.

"I didn't know there were parties. Someone failed to get me an invitation."

Spiral has posed:
The vans are easily stopped by spiderman and the damage done to their driving wheels. But instead of the six or so guys bursting out and fleeing, about half do. Three of the six climb out of their vans and sprint in all different directions while the other half seem to be fortifying in the vans until one quite literally explodes in a blueish purpleish haze and smoke billowing from the ford.

Spider-Man has posed:
"You didn't? Oh, are you still at Secret Government Installation 44315, or is it 44351, I can never remember. Maybe that's why the Sea Scorpion showed up? I kept telling everyone that he was of the order Scorpiones, not Araneae, like you and I. Tsk, tsk. Okay, I'll have a talk with the ombudsman." But unfortunately, as he was talking with the Widow, a few of the guys poured out of the back and roof of a van. Spider-Man was about to leap onto one of the van's when his spider sense went off and he sent a quick thwip to a nearby building, swinging out of the blueish purlish haze and smoke, "careful, these guys aren't playing with a full deck. I think they set that off... deliberately." And a few more shots of webbing are fired as he tries to mop up the crew. He's not trying to make Black Widow look bad, but when people need to be stopped, he leaps into the danger. Plus, his webbing works better than her stingers, most of the time.


Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Natasha leaves the runners to Spider-Man or the arriving agents in varying bits of SHIELD and ATF gear. The few they approach are yelled at to get on the ground as the agents have weapons drawn.

The Widow is heading for the van that isn't billowing smoke, probably not one of her better ideas. She goes at a dead run then leaps, catching the edge of the roof and pulling herself to the top. From there, she will be able to deal with any others. She's quiet but they may know she is up there. So she follows up by bringing a hand down, rapping on the back door to the van then quickly pulling up out of the way in case they fire through it. "SHIELD, you're surrounded. Get out of the van with your hands up and you may avoid getting shot."

No promises.

Spiral has posed:
The last van that Natasha is on is still holding two individuals, as spiderman has single handedly round up the remaining bad guys and the other blew himself up. The back door opens and a single guy steps out, holding his hands up, surrendering to SHIELD.

However the remaining guy in the van fires off a beam from inside and carves it through the back of the van, a laser light show errupting from the metal can barely missing Natasha with the wild beam of red energy.

"SUCK IT AVENGER!" shouts the man weilding the weapon.

Spider-Man has posed:
"Suck it! Suck it? Come on guys, you have to be more original than that. Have you learned nothing from my public courses, Banter and you? I knew I should have the offer from Sirius Radio when they offered me Howard Stern's old job." Spider-Man shook his head, finishing rounding up the villains, and then making a bee line towards the van that was emitting the light show. Just to be off putting, he hit, but not too hard, the left side of the van, then leapt over, to hit the right side, then did a slide to hit it from beneath. He was trying to distract the guy with the light show so that the Widow would have a nice and easy open shot. More to himself than anyone else, he said, "Teamwork 101 starts next Tuesday."

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Natasha leaps off the roof, rolling on the landing and coming up on her feet to the side of the van. She watches as Spidey does his thing, distracting the bad guy. Which gives her the opportunity she needed. The back door is still sitting open from the man who exited. She opts to use it. Reaching up to catch the top of the door, she flips herself around it and goes right into the van, feet first. From where the light show is emanating, she's hoping to at least knock him off his feet before he can bring the weapon around to aim at her. The impact should knock him down and, if she's lucky, he'll let go of the weapon so she can kick it clear.

Spiral has posed:
The man inside the van turns his weapon at each sound of Spider-Man's attacks, effectingly cutting the van in half before his chest and face meet a pair of feet flying into him and shoving him into the backs of the seats at the front of the van and he's out cold.

Good job SHIELD and Spider-Man, you have thwarted this arms deal and come across a slew of illegal and heavily modified weaponry and individuals.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
The unconscious man is quickly bound with some industrial zip-ties then Natasha moves out of the van. She opens the second back door, taking the time to look over the contents. Then she waves over one of the agents to take custody of the man inside. She isn't going near the smoking one. Emergency crews have already been called to deal with it, since there is no telling if the odd colored smoke coming from it might be toxic or otherwise.

She moves to the first man, the modified one, and throws a pair of metal handcuffs on that one. With his metal arms, she thinks zipties might be useless. Not that metal are probably much better but she's going to try anyway. "Thanks for your help, Spider-Man."

Spiral has posed:
From a nearby roof top a single woman stands leaning out over the rail slightly with a pair of night vision binoculars focused on the scene as she holds onto the support of a large billboard and harumphs at herself as she watches Natasha and Spider-Man and friends clean up the mess her arms dealers were supposed to be good enough to avoid.

A spit is fired from the rooftop and she lets out an explicative to no one in particular.
