She-Hulk has posed:
Rhino is trying very hard to get the attention of everyone he hates. First the Law Offices of Jennifer Walters was ransacked, then he decided to randomly attack the police. It's been hours at this point and the heroes of NYC are not paying him enough attention. THIS. WILL. NOT. DO! Rhino roars as his own thoughts piss him off more, "I MAKE YOU HEAR ME!"

It isn't long before he is dual wielding two patrol cars WITH officers inside them and is charging a shipping yard in Queens. He throws the cars at the main gate, obliterating the security checkpoint, and then charges in as news helicopters begin to arrive to record.

She-Hulk is JUST about to find out about her office being ransacked at the very moment that Rhino has begun his next rampage. She is carrying a few bags of clothing and it has just stopped raining. She holds all of the bags momentarily in one arm as she reaches for her phone as it rings to some random pop song ring tone. It's one of her paralegals. And the news is bad. She-Hulk crushes the bags in her arm, crushes her phone, and everything falls into a giant puddle.. ruined. Looking down at yet another net loss of money, she blames it all on Rhino, and gets angry. Really angry, "I keep telling them not to make me ANGRY!" She is in Gotham and it's going to take some time to get back to New York City, but her rage makes her stronger than she is even normally, and she launches herself nearly seven hundred feet into the air, moving as fast she can, the normally happy, snarky Jennifer Walters temporarily replaced by a very angry one!

Spawn has posed:
    A woman brutally slain, with a sign around her neck calling her a 'witch'. A man who'd revelled in it, setting himself on fire, with a promise that more were going to follow. Al had looked into the eyes of those flames, and what he'd seen disturbed him. Mainly, it disturbed him because it reminded him of what he'd lost. Standing on the top of an old darkened building, the masked man could see the whole skyline, but instead he was focused on the ring in his fingers, a simple gold band. He read the words engraved on them, over and over.

    "Wanda...I've escaped the fires of Hell, only to find another here on earth. I've lost you. Forever."

    In the depths of his longing, he saw distant impacts way off in the distance, and moments later heard the loud, thundrous, echoing sounds of impacts and metal crashing against itself...and he felt ever so slightly, the miniature shocks along the soles of his boots. His eyes narrowed, putting the ring away, and picking up some tools. He leapt from the top of that building, but instead of a red leathery cape falling around him, a pair of red, leathery bat-wings swooped and carried him upward. He was soaring toward Long Island as fast as he could go. Which meant whoever was acting a fool was in for a world of pain. Very, very shortly.

Squirrel Girl has posed:
Squirrel Girl is on the case! The case of sparkling water that she was carrying back to her apartment when all the hubbub and nonsense breaks out. She's not that close, but she doesn't have to be that close to hear the racket that Rhino's making. He's gotta be breaking some noise ordinances. Not to mention, y'know, property damage and threats of bodily harm and...

She stashes her water on the fire escape outside her apartment building, hoping beyond hope that nobody will swipe it and then she takes to the rooftop, takinga moment to free her tail from its confines, sighing with relief as she starts to leap from rooftop to rooftop. Monkey Joe, her best squirrel companion, scurries out of her pocket and climbs on her shoulder like a pirate's parrot.

"Prepare to face squirrel justice!" she cries.

Superboy has posed:
For once Superboy was neither 'patrolling' nor partying. No, he was in a cafe talking with college mates about studying and schedules and what teachers are best. As if he was a real college student. Hard to imagine this kind of thing two years ago.

Unfortunately Conner hears the police sirens from several blocks away. He has not really seen what is going on, but it sounds pretty bad. He makes a lame excuse to his college friends and sneaks off the Starbucks. A few seconds later he is flying towards the... disaster area. Super-powered fight? No - rampaging super-villain. It was his second bet, really. He speeds forward to try to intercept the charging Rhino before he hits someone crunchy.

Starr has posed:
    Elycia happens to be AT the secutiry checkpoint and looking to try and get through so she can get to her car. "ugh....come -ON- I just want to get back to my car so I can go home, okay? Is that so hard?" The patrol officer almost sounds bored at this point. "Sorry ma'am, but we've got someone on the loose in the city and we're trying to keep people...." *BOOM* And one car blasts through the gate and Elycia BARELY manages to drop to the ground before the car smacks her and drags her with it.

She stands up as the security guard is now completely under the table he has and is just shaking. "You'll forgive me if I'd rather get to safety." She says as she runs through the gate, and only partly towards Rhino. "That....must be the lunatic they're looking for. Hopefully they're not headed for the Roadster..."

Ghost Rider (Blaze) has posed:
Johnny was driving on his motorcycle, as per the usual. Just his own form of extremely subtle patrol before those eyes end up finding the Rhino on the loose. Dual wielding patrol cars! Honestly, not the weirdest thing he's seen since fighting the Hulk. Can he get a break at some point?!

The effective answer is no.

So when the Rhino tries to charge at that news crew? Johnny transforms into the Ghost Rider, his skin and muscles burning away to reveal a bare skeleton, wreathed in Hellfire flame. The motorcycle turning demonic in appearance...the Hellcycle! driving straight forward like a raging inferno, the Rider draws taht bladed silver chain and tries to wrap it around Rhino's horn, trying to forcefully veer him off of his destructive path.

She-Hulk has posed:
Rhino was indeed about to jump up and grab one of the helicopters when his ruckus finally has the desired effect. He's too slow to react to the chain careening towards his horn, and it does wrap around his horn. Rhino laughs, "Little American cowboy is all I get?! I will use your head as a shot glass!!" Rhino yanks his head back, powerful neck muscles far more than sufficient to take Johnny into the air, and try to throw him off with the chain towards one of the helicopters.

"You have only endangered the weaklings you are trying to protect!! All will pay for cowboy's mistake!"

Superboy has posed:
Now wearing a 'super' uniform consisting in jeans, a black T-shirt with a big red S on the chest Superboy arrives just in time to see Rhino trying to destroy the news helicopters. Whoa, that is an angry and bloody one.

"Hey, Rhino-man," he yells, trying to draw the attention of the big Russian. "How about you let the reporters do they job?" He flies to try to pry the villain's hand off the flying vehicle, even if it means getting punched along the way. "What is your problem anyway? Couldn't find a bank to rob today?"

Squirrel Girl has posed:
Doreen Green lands on the edge of a rooftop and is about to leap into the fray when..uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, oh boy, it's that Ghost Rider guy again. "He always gets there first! Man, I need a motorcycle!"

She quickly scurries down a drainpipe and starts trying to get any civilians out of the way, hefting a fragment of police car off of a downed officer, "Hello, sir, sorry, Squirrel Girl here, I know I'm kind of unofficial and everything, but uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think you guys better leave this to us caped crusader types."

Monkey Joe chirps in agreement while looking nervously at Rhino over her shoulder.

Spawn has posed:
    Like a bat out of hell, Spawn was streaking through the sky and came in so fast and hot that he was a blur of red, white and black across the front windshield of that helicopter. He hit the ground hard but rolled to his feet, inbetween the action of the skeletal rider...and the man in the rhino costume.

    Spawn's glowing green eyes narrowed and he opened that flowing red cape to reveal what he'd been holding in his hands: An AK-47. While a Kryptonian demigod tried to intervene and the Nutcracking Squirrel Girl arrived on the scene, the tall former soldier took aim and fired a three-round volley, right at the face of the angry Russian. It was almost fitting, in a way. He doubted this would do much damage, but he wondered if it would sting at all. Or at least be a nuisance. He liked the idea so much that he fired again.

    "I've been wanting to hurt someone for a while. Your sorry ass will do just fine."

Starr has posed:
    Elycia runs behind a building and....makes a face. "Great. I'll be lucky to get out of here, but those reporters will be lucky to get out of here at all." She peeks out and tilts her head at all of the people trying to get Rhino to stop throwing things at the helicoptors....it's then she gets an idea, and touches one of her earrings. "Luna..." She whispers, and gets a bwip in her ear as a response. "Luna, you already know where I am, but I'm safe. others are not. Lets give this guy more targets in the news choppers." She waits a few seconds and she hears a 'COnfirmed, ELycia...."

"Light up my night, Luna."

Only a few seconds later....three more news helicoptors appear above the fray.....and as loud as they are, they're pretty distracting. Distracting enough to get Rhino's attention away from ground civilians....

Ghost Rider (Blaze) has posed:
Honestly, Ghost Rider probably could have thought this through a little better.

Yanked by Rhino's mighty neck muscles, The Rider is plucked //right// off of his bike! and instead of going for a ride? He sets his feet RIGHT next to a very sturdy looking wall, pulling with about 40 tons of solid force as Johnny hands over control to Zarathos.

They need raw strength to help take this guy down.

"fall..." the Spirit of Vengeance speaks in it's ungodly, demonic voice. Trying to rangle this beast down.

She-Hulk has posed:
Rhino tries to keep yanking Ghost Rider towards the helicopter as MORE choppers start flying in. Spawn's bullets make a metallic sound as they impact his helmet, making Rhino even more angry, "INSECT!" Superboy also draws his attention. Rhino will now try to wield Ghost Rider as a chained weapon to strike at the arriving choppers and Superboy as he spins around, possibly overestimating himself in an attempt to also barrel into Spawn.

Squirrel Girl has posed:
Doreen Green just watches the carnage unleashed with Monkey Joe sitting on her shoulder. She's pretty fearless and would be the first to leap into the fray, but HOLY GUACAMOLE that was a lot of havoc being wreaked over there. THere are machine guns, flaming motorcycles, flying super-teens, police cars burning, news helicopters flying overhead.

"Oh my god, this is AMAZING!" Doreen shouts, throwing up a fist and rooting on the heroes in the fight.

Superboy has posed:
Superboy ducks to avoid the Ghost Rider's chain, and possibly the flaming hero himself. The new helicopters make him hesitate a second. They came up from nowhere! Too many targets for the crazy Rhino-man. "Alright, stop!" He yells, aiming a punch towards the villain armored head. Not pulling much his strength, obviously that guy must be as strong as himself, or close! Whatever the result from the punch, he is going to fly up, and see if he can convince the crew of the helicopters to stay away.

Starr has posed:
    The helicoptor that Ghost Rider was thrown at flickers and.....disappears as he flies through it. This brings ELycia running up near Squirrel girl, if she's not that close to the carnage. "Squirrel girl? We need a bigger distraction so we can get the civilians out of here." She then smiles. "Just...please keep secrets." She says as she watches GHost Rider.....and touches an earring. "Luna....one of the people trying to stop this guy was just thrown out of the area. Catch him would you? And bring him back." "Acknowledged Ma'am." Is the reply in her ear....

*VROOM* Suddenly, a car nearby and pulls out of it's parking space. With surprising acceleration, even for it's supposed look of a Lamborghini Diablo, it zooms by Rhino and moves to let Ghost Rider land on it's roof.

Spawn has posed:
    As predicted, the AK was less than effective, but it was only a tool in this regard, not an actual weapon. Spawn slung it over his shoulder as he dashed over the looping flaming chain, and faster than a scurrying cockroach, he darted between the legs of the angry, lashing out powerhouse. Two of Spawn's own chains lashed at each angle and kneecap, the razor-sharp, powerful bladed weapons trying to clamp and dig in, if they weren't able to tear into the suit. Using some dirty tactics, Spawn wanted to see if he could trip the big man up, make him take a little tumble face-first into the ground. Clearly, a frontal assault wasn't going to do much unless he upped the power. He had no problem with frying the idiot in the suit, but with this many people around, one of them might get hurt from the ensuing chaos. He wasn't about to let that happen.

Ghost Rider (Blaze) has posed:
Honestly? today could probably be a bit better day. But, as Johnny is whipped around like a ragdoll, he's eventually thrown straight through the air aiming for one of those helicopters! Except he lands on a car, compliments of Elycia. A growl exits the demon's mouth as it fully becomes Zarathos-controlled. "I will have vengeance." and thus, he PULLS himself with 100 tons of force to try and give one hell of a punch right for Rhino's jaw!

Problem is, Rhino's a pretty big guy...could be an equal but opposite reaction kind of thing.

Well...dunno till ya try!

She-Hulk has posed:
Rhino laughs at Ghost Rider, "Cowboy should have learned how to land when he decided to FLY!" His joy is short lived as the helicopter vanishes. He finishes his spinning motion as Spawn and Superboy attack him at the same time. Superboy's punch sends him off the ground a bit, but before he can fall on his rear end, Ghost Rider PUMMELS into him with seemingly incalcuble force, sending him flying into the air with Spawn's chains around his legs.

If Spawn doesn't let go he will also go flying with Rhino! At the moment the behemoth of a man in tech armor is careering towards a nearby office building. The good news? Everyone has gone home for the day. Bad news? The executive manager's office is where the impact will be and Rhino's velocity will send him right through it and onwards out the other end of the building, resulting in a big mess for the janitors in the morning! Rhino screams with rage as his pride is wounded, although he's not realy feeling a ton of pain yet beyond some bruises, "It will take more than THAT to stop me! PUNYYYY!" His voice trails off as he gets further away.

Squirrel Girl has posed:
Doreen Green gives Elycia a wink of approval, "Secrets? Why, my lips are sealed. I mean, outside of the teeth, but that's not really my fault, that's like a power and some people actually find it very attractive and OH CRAP LOOKOUT!" she shouts, breaking into a sprint for the building, "You guys really need to watch where you're punching! We're not all burning skull people out here! HUMANS ARE SQUISHY THINGS!" she shouts.

Spawn has posed:
    Spawn absolutely did not let go. In fact, creepily the tall Hellspawn crawled around to the front of the flying gray-armored powerhouse, his thick red leathery cape quickly wrapping completely around the Rhino's helmeted head, even as his chains left the man's legs to try and wrap tightly around his neck. Al wanted to check if the man's fancy suit let him fight without air in his lungs, and hopefully a world of darkness would be difficult for the man to navigate. As the wreckingball form of the villain started smashing through buildings, Spawn took the abuse along with him and in fact started using the Necroplasma within him, causing the gauntlet on his right fist to get bigger, and spikier, and even more unwieldy and over the top, adding strength and punching power that the Hellspawn hadn't had before. With every impact through every weak office wall, floor and ceiling, Al started throwing rabbit punch after rabbit punch into the covered face of Rhino.

    "This is the start of your Hell. Pay attention!"

Starr has posed:
    "I think they're more worried about stopping him than how much damage they do." Elycia says to Squirrel Girl before she taps her erring again. "Luna, pick me up. we need to follow this jerk." She says before she runs to the corner to see where he flew. "You know anything about this guy? And why he has a horn on his head? he looks stupid." She says as the car pulls up next to her. "Get in." She says getting into the driver's seat of the car....and once Doreen gets into the car...they take off after Rhino....and the carnage after him. "This is going to be a mess."

Superboy has posed:
Superboy was not hitting too hard because... "What the... that is just what I was trying to avoid, flame-head!" And it is luckily, it seems no one was injured. No one else, that is. The helicopters were some kind of hologram? Nice, but who did that?

The half-Kryptonian young man takes a few seconds to make sure no one is hurt or needing help in the immediate area, and if that is the case he flies after the crazy villain. "We gotta stop him before he kills someone. Or someone else," he adds to no one in particular.

Ghost Rider (Blaze) has posed:
After the Rider amde his shot, The Spirit of Vengeance stood up straight after the Impact and just...started walking. cracking it's neck as it wraps it's chain right back around itself. Hellfire starts to ignite in the Ghost Rider's hands...which it will use to toss Hellfire fireballs at Rhino!

soften him up maybe?

Either way, one of the heavy hitters was gunning for Rhino.

She-Hulk has posed:
Rhino is repeatedly beaten by Spawn as he flies through the building and out the other end. If Squirrel Girl, Elysia, and Superboy can catch the soaring pair in time, they might be able to stop them from flying into an empty construction site where another tall building is -supposed- to be almost finished! Rhino tanks the hits, more bruises no doubt. But when he manages to get his bearings, he starts to swing his arms at Spawn in return, metallic fists with pointy bits designed to HURT a lot!

The fire balls do indeed hit because Rhino can't dodge! The flames heat will burn him, which hurts but still isn't devastatingly damaging yet, however the pain will make him roar again, taking out all of his anger on Spawn.. which probably won't be fun for him.

Spawn has posed:
    He actually had a good thing going, dodging Rhino's fist every time, darting around and counterpunching with that massive right gauntlet, letting the big man wear himself out. Spawn was faster, had greater reaction time, and had been a trained Marine and CIA Agent. There was no way this overgrown animal cracker was going even come close to touching him.

    And then a ball of Hellfire exploded across his back, and the back of his head.

    "HraaaAAAAGH-"

    His sudden scream was cut short by a gray fist the size of his body, smashing into his face. Again, and again, and again, to the point that by the time they landed? Whether caught by the rest, or whether they made impact with the nearby construction site? Spawn would collapse to the ground with a heavy 'thud', that right gauntlet instantly shrinking down to normal, his AK long ago lost in the rubble of that office building. He was getting back up though, picking himself off the ground and shaking his head woozily. His eyes glowed brighter, and his hands suddenly were aflame in green Necroplasmic energy.

    "Ok. Let's play."

    He said to nobody in particular, still wobbling like a boxer in the 12th round. But he wasn't fallen just yet.

Superboy has posed:
The funny thing is Superboy used to be a bit of a nerd at following the super-heroes- Not as bad as Tim or Bart, but still... well, pretty bad. He can't recognize anyone here except Squirrel Girl. Who is flame-head? And the other guy with chains? It was easier in Metropolis, to be honest.

Still, a bad guy is a bad guy and Spawn (whose name Conner does not know) is not winning the fist-fight despite his clearly superior skills. "Take a break, I'll go a couple rounds with Mr. Hornhead," he offers, flying in and aiming another punch to the villains face.

Ghost Rider (Blaze) has posed:
The Ghost Rider kept tossing those fireballs at Rhino, perhaps looking to superheat that armor to make it hurt! But alas, once the Ghost Rider gets close, it clenches it's fist tightly as it lunges to try and unleash upon Rhino with a flurry of heavy strikes!!

Hey, if punching him once didn't work, lets try pummeling. Though, if one looks closely...the Ghost Rider might be enjoying this.

Starr has posed:
    Elycia and her car are following the carnage brought about by the trio of pain, as she calls them. She lets out Squirrel girl to help out the civilians.....and she doesn't really get any info. "Blast." She says as she has Luna find news files on this particular person. "Rhino. A lot of strength but not very smart. Sounds like typical David vs Goliath stuff." ELycia says as she veers around a couple of streets over......

She-Hulk has posed:
Rhino's velocity devastates the construction site as his massive form shatters metal, wood, construction equipment, and more! The workers are not going to be happy. The flames cause Rhino's suit to heat up quite a bit but he's resistant to high heat as much as anything else, however he screams in pain nevertheless.

He lands on an expensive looking Ferrari which is completely totalled, parts of the car clanging off as he stands up, only to find Ghost Rider and Superboy's fists colliding with his head from two directions. Although Superboy is trying not to cause collateral damage, Ghost Rider doesn't seem to care! Superboy's punches definitely hurt but Ghost Rider's punches are careless! Rhino continues to tank the hits, once again trying to focus, and is eventually throwing his own punches at Ghost Rider as he can. Superboy, at least in his mind, is not as much of a threat yet.

Spawn has posed:
    When his voice came out to answer the Cloned Young Man of Steel, his voice had a level of caustic anger to it, on top of that powerful deep inflection.

    "You don't tell me what to do, boy."

    He was feeling a bit weaker, he'd been using a bit of energy this fight. But the Necroplasma hadn't nearly burnt out yet, he still had enough to move as fast as any athlete. As Ghost Rider and Superboy rushed up to deal damage upfront, Al had another idea.

    Soon, through a series of flips, he aimed to land on the Rhino's massive shoulders, and instantly his cape would wrap around the face and visor of the Rhino, wrapping and clinging until it was completely air-tight. Maybe He couldn't do much physical damage to the rampaging beast, but he imagined that being unable to see(and being unable to breathe in oxygen) might have a negative impact. Additionally, every single chain Spawn had snaked downard, only to spring up between the powerhouse's legs...every single razor-sharp bladed end aiming for the Rhino's groin. He might not be able to cut through the suit. But he doubted this would feel good at all, on any level.

She-Hulk has posed:
She-Hulk is LIVID as each sprinting leap brings her closer and closer to Long Island. At last she can hear and see the fight taking place, "Yeeeeeeesss!!" She-Hulk laughs, maybe enjoying this a bit too much! She literally LANDS on Rhino, interrupting Ghost Rider's barrage of hits a bit in order to unleash her own. There are two, maybe THREE heavy hitters ganging up on him. Spawn's tactic will definitely deprive him of air, but She-Hulk isn't going to let everyone else get her share of the "cake" just because she was late!

With every punch she takes out her anger on Rhino, "I TOLD you not.. to MAKE.. me ANGRY! THIS is for my office!" She hits Rhino as HARD as she can with that punch, but not to where he will go into the sky. Instead he falls to the ground as Ghost Rider's pummels add to hers, "THIS is for my CLOTHES DAMNIT! Do you HAVE.. ANY.. IDEA.. HOW.. MUCH.. THOSE.. SHOES.. COOOOOST!!!" It's easy to tell that Jennifer is not her normal self, several more punches colliding with Rhino as she vents, "AND.. MY... PHOOOOONE!" She keeps punching him over.. and over.. and over.. he will definitely be weakening now with Ghost Rider's added hits, and the lack of oxygen.

Should Superboy continue punching as well, Rhino will weaken only that much faster.

Superboy has posed:
It is pretty bad when Superboy is the careful one. Ghost Rider recklessness and Rhino's craziness are going to end with a demolished building, but at least there is no one around to get hurt. So Conner rushes ahead, and flies over the villain, to try to keep him within the construction site area. Then Spawn returns and goes to grab him. "Hey, that is a good idea," comments the young man, reaching to grab one of the Rhino's arms and try to pull him down to the ground. Also so he can't grab Spawn's cape to pull free.

The She-Hulk lands on Rhino and really... it doesn't matter much. No, he doesn't join the beating up. At this point it seems just a bunch of angry people venting on another angry guy. Conner is not particularly angry, he steps back, ready to get involved if it looks they could kill the big guy.

Starr has posed:
    ELycia whistles as she spots the green BOMB that just hit Rhino. "Wow. RHino made one heck of an enemy." She then takes a deep breath. "Luna, I think we don't want to be recognized here." "Yes Ma'am. Changing car configuration." Luna replies. "Lets.....also have Starr make her debut here." "Yes Ma'am."
    The car blinks a couple of times before it changes to a rather unique blue corvette. She keeps her distance, but her own look changes as well. She's definitely camera presentable......as Starr.

Spawn has posed:
    Now, it seemed the numbers were finally on their side. Spawn had the wherewithall to leave Rhino's back before the big beast fell backward like a crashing meteor, the cape still wrapped tightly around the big oaf's head, which also meant that Rhino probably had no idea where the hits were coming from. The Hellspawn looked around, noting Ghost Rider there, and only for the briefest of moments did he look over at the flaming skull, before suddenly pulling his cape free of the bruiser. Instead, Spawn places both hands across either side of Rhino's head(the two sides least likely to be pummeled by She-Hulk's fists), and they each started glowing with green energy. Instantly Spawn shared one singular memory with the Russian hooligan...the memory of flames, the memory of of his screaming, the memory of his pain and his anguish, the memory of Hell, engulfing him completely. By itself, it would be a disturbing sight, but it would soon be further amplified...

Ghost Rider (Blaze) has posed:
Ghost Rider was beating on Rhino with Superboy before ANGRY she-hulk showed up! Well, that's definitely not good! But Ghost Rider is more than happy to triple-team it up on Rhino, looking more like a group beatdown than an actual fight. But as Spawn starts to use his psionics on Rhino? it gives Ghost Rider time to use a trick of his own.

The Rider tries to put a knee on Rhino's throat and look into his eyes! "Look into my eyes!" for a Penance Stare!

She-Hulk has posed:
Rhino screams and gasps as he is helplessly beaten down by the two heavy hitting heroes! They are each stronger than he is, and now their combined might is preventing him from being able to retaliate. Yes indeed the goliath mobster is starting to think that MAYBE he shouldn't have thrown police cars at a shipyard..

But it's too late to back out now. She-Hulk relentlessly continues to beat Rhino's head into the pavement as HARD as she can. She's beyond her normal strength now, the anger making her stronger, and stronger, even as she fights the urge to completely let her vision go red. But Jennifer remains in control as the blows keep raining, "YOU.. LIKE.. ME.. ANGRY?! DIDN'T.. THINK.. SOOO!!" She-Hulk can feel bones starting to crack as Rhino's armor dents. Blood begins to splatter.

When Rhino thought it couldn't get any worse, gasping to breathe as he endures the most painful beatdown he's had in a long time, he suddenly feels himself.. somewhere else? No.. it can't be.. "Dead? IN HELL?!! NOOOOOOOO!!!" He feels nothing but despair and agony now.. there is not escape for him.. in this moment Rhino has completely lost the will to even try to win. He is broken.

Starr has posed:
    It's now that Starr walks up to She-hulk, as she starts to see bleeding....and places a gentle hand on She-hulk's shoulder. "I'm pretty sure he's defeated....She-hulk, am I right?" Should She-hulk look, she'll find the pink haired woman standing close....with a very gentle voice and touch. "I don't think he's any sort of danger to anyone right now." She then looks at Ghost Rider and Spawn. "You two also did well....even with the damage done. But I do imagine you don't want to remain here."

She then looks to She-hulk. "annnnd...I think you want to be more presentable...if you'll allow me." She says as she reaches for one of her earrings.

If She-hulk lets her, She-hulk will get a hologram business suit while the press is out of sight. However, it's under the promise that she keeps secrets.

Spawn has posed:
    After a moment, the Hellspawn stood, satisfied that Rhino wasn't going anywhere. Now at ease and breathing somewhat heavily(why did he breathe? He didn't need air.), the masked man looked up at the news cameras, even as his cape now draped around him in a way that hid everything but his mask from view. The collars of his cape were sticking straight up in their best Dracula impression, and soon he was looking back at both Ghost Rider, and She-Hulk. When he spoke, it was with that low tone he always used, dry, gravelly, vaguely threatening even when he wasn't. Except in this case, perhaps he was.

    "Next time you set me on fire, ghostboy, I'm gonna have something for yo' ass."

    To Jen, he turned fully.

    "It's a good thing you got here when you did. We were going to have to resort for desperate measures to keep this endangered species on the ground. Where'd you learn to punch?"

Ghost Rider (Blaze) has posed:
The Rider rises to his feet after the Penance Stare, and he attacks no more. Before he looks to She-Hulk, stopping her if she tries to strike another blow. "Enough. He is beaten." Vengeance is vengeance...but that's overkill. His eyes then shift to Spawn as he makes his threat.

"Bring whatever you like. It will be your entrails I will wear like a christmas scarf." The Ghost Rider doesn't back down from Spawn //at all//. Rough alliance at best. Before he glances to Elycia. "What did you have in find?" and it's at that moment, that the Ghost Rider reverts back into Johnny Blaze. Flesh and muscle regrowing over that pale skull as if the transformation never happened in the first place.

She-Hulk has posed:
She-Hulk has indeed stopped, staring at Ghost Rider, "Don't tell me what to do.. you aren't my sugar daddy and don't have the looks to even try!" She glances up at Starr.. "I.. I'm okay.." She is breathing hard, shaking with anger. She stands up, hair a completely mess now. Rhino is in a silent shock, eyes wide, face a pulpy wreck, "My office.. my shoes.. nope not feeling bad about you.. not one bit.."

Spawn has posed:
    Spawn wasn't there the next time anyone looked. Using a bit more of his energy, he cloaked into the environment and made his way through the concrete jungle, back home.

Starr has posed:
    "Lets not kill him, Okay?" Starr says to She-hulk before she looks to Spawn and CHost Rider. "Ease with the threats, okay? Let's not start another battle here." She says as clothes form on She-hulk, though she doesn't feel them. "There...you're more presentable. At least for now. We'll worry about the more formal shopping later, She-hulk. okay?" She seems pretty calm about all of this...

She-Hulk has posed:
Police and FBI special units arrive soon after to take the incapacitated Rhino away in a special containment hold. This isn't their first rodeo with him and other supervillains so as unnerving as it is for some of the officers, the more experienced among them instill confidence as they fearlessly go about business as usual.
