---

Sarah Osborn has posed:
The Upper East Side is hope to the Avengers Mansion, which tends to make it a bit less likely that there are going to be super crimes here than there might be in other areas. LESS Likely, but there are also inviting targets, like the Met, the Guggenheim, and several high end stores. Thus, Adrian Tooms has decided to stage a comeback here, flying low and silently over the streetlights, where he is unlikely to be seen in the dark of night.

Daken has posed:
Daken....had other plans.

Walking through the cold winter day wearing a long fur coat and lighting a cigar in his mouth, he simply looked around...until a strange scent caught his nose. A few sniffs...and he was able to spot the winged felon. Though seeing as he couldn't jump that far, he simply walks after him...as if seeing what he was going to do.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Sarah was working...lately she has been working as a lighting technician. At this particular moment, she is working on the lighting on one of the displays at the Guggenheim. Nothing fantastic, but it pays the bills. Bills are something she still has to worry about, being Goblin-girl is not a cheap hobby. This new display is supposed to be open for the public Friday, but keeping the wiring and lighting from interfering with the alarms and cameras is tricky.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
The Vulture they call Adrian Tooms, and lately he has added a few tricks besides just flying to his bag of tricks. He soars up to a window and applies a suction device as he hovers in mid air. He cuts the glass with a diamond-edged glass cutter and pulld the window pane out of the way. He enter into the gallery overlooking the display where Sarah is working. Tooms is a smash and grab artist, relying on speed and agility to get away before the police can arrive. Few people have managed to stop him...mostly that accursed wall-crawler. If Spider-man shows up, well Tooms has plans for that.

Daken has posed:
Daken took a small breath as he sees birdman doing his thing. Though Daken is not known for subtlety. He enters the area and looks around, sniffing out Toomes's scent. Though when he sees Goblin Girl, he puts a hand on her shoulder. "Sh. don't move." he says then..though the guy looks intimidating enough with his beard and hair style...he looks homeless. He points in the direction the Vulture -should- be coming through, if his plans worked.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Sarah hears the alarms go off and frowns...it is always annoying when these things happen and she is without her gear. Since the last time this happened at work she has pept a few thing in her tool box, just in case. Shewas reaching for that when Daken put his hand on her shoulder. She obedianty froze in place, while analyzing this new threat possible threat.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
The alarm starts the Lockdown process, bars slide into place, locks are frozen so that keys will not open them, and guards are on the way. Tooms does not care, he drops to the floor and applies his cutter to the safety glass protecting the painting he is after. Once is has a scratch, he applies hydrofloric acid to the flass, which is far to thick to cut through quickly, then places a suction device on the outside...once the cid weakens the glass enough a good sharp pull should break it free.

Daken has posed:
Daken was far more subtle than Toomes was. He was trained by ninjas and assassins after all. In truth, he had gone through the ventilation system. Every building has one. But he knows how to keep to the shadows. Standing in front of Sarah Osborn, he looks back to her as if telling her to possibly follow him if she can fight. Though...he doesn't recognize her scent. It's weird. Like it's a multitude of things...it may not be a good thing.

When they are close enough to hear Toomes working, he takes a breath, and three claws, adamantium, come out of his hands. two on top, one from the bottom of his forearm as if he planned to kill Toomes or ward him off.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Sarah has pulled some things ut of the bottom of her case and slipped them on. A latex goblin mask (not as good as her normal one, but at least it covers her face) an orange poncho, orange gloves, and a belt with pouches on it (no spring gun...that she could not get in, but a few minor tricks). Hopefully whoever the claw-guy is did not et a good look at her before she got the mask on.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Tooms pumps the suction device so it has a strong grip and pulls sharply, the thick glass pane pulls apart with an audible snap. He stddenly turns and flies into the air...he has a lot of experiece with reacting fast to a threat, and decent senses for a guy as old as he is. His flight suit amplifies his strength and reflexes...so he reacts quite fast indeed. He says, "What have we here? You aren't Spiderman...either one of you."

Daken has posed:
Daken just looks unimpressed at Tooms. Though he looks to Sarah a moment as if telling her to stay put...then finds someone wearing goblin stuff. He rarely forgets a face, so that's a talk later perhaps...or he'll just leave it. He hasn't quite decided yet.

Though his attention falls on toomes and his claws come out of his other hand, same place, still adamantium. He growls at Toomes. "Quit your robbery or we're going to have problems. Run before I clip your wings."

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Sarah says, "What, you have not heard of me? Well it is not like I am really famous beyond Sunnydale. They call me Goblin-girl. You have the choice, fly away now, or stop us first. That second choic is not as easy as it sounds."

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Vulture swings his wing, launching a spray of throwing blades from his wing at the heroes, saying, "Let's find out."

Daken has posed:
Daken simply stands in front of Sarah, taking the blades with a grunt each time one pierced his skin. "Alright bub...." he mimics his father in that.. "That was a mistake." he growls as he pulls out the blades and his wounds heal -fast-, like in a few seconds. He lunges at Vulter, seeking to put his claws in his shoulder.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Sarah dodges, dropping under the blades and rolling towards Vulture, who has flown up to near the 20' ceiling of the room. Judging from the spread of the blades, he was probably expecting a foe to jump upwards, something she saw and judged even as she began her move. For a moment she was worried about the other man, but she sees as she rolls that he is already nearly healed.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Tooms says, "Well, perhaps you WILL be a challenge. Let us try THIS." This time, it is a spread of small magnesium flares, commonly called "flash-bangs" that assault the senses of sight and hearing.

Daken has posed:
Daken lands offhandedly since the flash bangs were deployed, and he is temporarily blinded. So now, he relies on his sense of smell while his other senses are assualted. "That was a mistake." he knows Tooms scent now, and he swings at his direction if he wre to move again, sharp adamantium claws aimed!

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Sarah is blinded, but acts anyway...throwing a soft rubber balloon in the direction of where Tooms was. She is not carring any deadly weapons if someone were to search her tool kit she wants to have an explaination for everything in it.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Tooms dodges the balloon though the liquid that splashes from where it hit appears harmless. Tooms considers flying down and grabbin his prize, but decides he needs to properly immobilize his foes first...the last thing he wants is that silly girl throwing something at him and damaging his prize. He decides to focus on the clawed healer first. Careful aim and throw...a neavy knife that if it does what is planned will nail the mutant's foot to the floor.

Daken has posed:
Daken had his hands up, ready for attack. Though when he can sense the knife coming, smelling the scent of the steel and feeling the change in wind as it comes at him, Daken moves his foot just -barely- out of the way, and he lunges in Vulture's direction, he lifts a clawed hand in an attempt to cut off one of his wings!

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Sarah is also still blind, but pulls out what appears to be a perfume atomizer and starts spraying into the air. Daken might figure it out if he has encountered a binary Polymer of the type before. The first liquid reacts with the second to turn into a solid...Tooms finds himself having to struggle to move as Daken jumps up and claws at him. Vulture's maneuvering is impaired by the polymer, which allows Daken to hit when otherwise Tooms might have flown out of range. The edge of his left wing is shredded, though not entirely cut off. Tooms realizes that he may have bitten off more than he can chew and limpingly flies towards the window where he entered.

Daken has posed:
Daken finds himnself somewhat covered in the polymer, groaning a moment as his sight and hearing starts to return to him, the buzzing all around starting to cease in a manner that he can recover. He does know he made contact though on the Vulture...he just needs to finish the job.

Though when he sees the Vulture attempting to escape without his prize...Daken sprints at him, claws ready and bared, as he attempts to lung at him from behind, and dig his claws into his suit to tear it to pieces.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Daken sprints for the stairs to the second floor gallery where Tooms entered, but despite his being slowed down by having to force open the bars, the Vulture is outside before Daken can reach the window. Goblin-Girl is still blinded, as she does not quite recover as fast as the Mutant does.

Daken has posed:
Daken reaches the window before he's forced to pause....realizing that Toomes has escaped him this time. With a growl, his claws retract back into his skin, visible no more. With a sigh, he looks at the new holes in his clothes, revealing the intricate tattoo on his right arm pretty easily. "Damn...he got away. Bird-bastard..." he mumbles, before returning to see Goblin-Girl still attempting to recover. If this was the old Daken...he would have attempted to kill her immediately. But he's done a good job of turning over a new leaf. and he approaches, a hand touching her shoulder.

"Hey, you good?"

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Sarah sighs, "I will be fine." Of course, she is going to have to hack the security and delete anything that shows Goblin-girl and substitute images of Sarah hiding by the display. Once she gets her sight back.

Daken has posed:
Daken nods a few times. "Right...well, I guess I'll be seeing you." he moves past her, and she may have caught a wiff of his pheromones...though he wasn't even trying, if she was susceptible to them, she could feel happy..or sad, or depressed, or joyful, or any number of emotions, positive and negative.

Sarah Osborn has posed:
Whether Sarah is vulnerable to the pheremones, or whether he near immunity to chemical attacks prevents it, is unable to be told at this time, she has a lot on her mind...including a number of emotions due to the fight she was just in. She does not like foes getting away either, but without her helmet she really could not do anything about the flash bangs. She also is thinking about Tooms...especially about his wings. She is thinking about a change in who she is. Now that she knows more about herself, she is no longer certain she wants to be Goblin-girl any more. But to change her identity, she needs a change in capabilities, something to set her apart from what she was. Something like flight...
