Azrael has posed:
It's cold and dark, right at the new moon because of course that's when the criminals would act. There are others it suits well, and Azrael is one of them. In the suit and cape of dark red and gold, he's tracked several of Scarecrow's henchmen towards some of the chemcial industrial plants. No time to get bugs inside, but something bad is going to happen. Unless he makes something worse happen to them first. A check of his blades to make sure they are ready, and then get gets a long running start and jumps across the gap from one rooftop to the warehouse roof, to it and roll.

Snake Eyes has posed:
Having gotten intel that something untoward is going to happen in Gotham Action Force has deployed their top infiltration expert to look into the possible terrorist attack. From one rooftop to the next a dark clad ninja leaps nimbly, wasting little time when it comes to getting into position.

When he gets into position Snake Eyes squats on the edge of a building to try to determine what he can at a particular chemical plant. As of now, at least, he doesn't seem to have noticed the other guy doing the rooftop leaps.

Azrael has posed:
Jean-Paul Valley hits hard. A grunt, rolling and coming up to run to what cover there can be, ending up next to an AC vent that he barely stops in time from running into. Snatches of voices come up, and this time he extends one of his armblades and lets it catch fire, bright in the night as he stalks towards the rooftop door.

Snake Eyes has posed:
The sight of flame catches Snake Eyes' attention. His head turns to focus on the firelight before he pulls what looks like a cell phone from a pouch on his web gear. Quickly typing the message: 'Newcomer on scene. Possible attack in progress. Investigating.' the dark clad figure then shoves his device away and takes a running jump towards the chemical plant, intent on landing behind the stranger with the armblades before ducking behind one of the rooftop water tanks.

Azrael has posed:
Azrael is about to cut into the door when something--a noise, the feel of a landing--something causes him to turn and look. Nothing, but there are pieces of cover about, and he rectracts the armblade, only to reach over his shoulder to pull out a larger sword, held at the ready in his left hand. A baritone voice comes out through the golden mask, "Who distrubs me while I am about my business?" Oddly polite for one who has a firebrand in his hand.

Snake Eyes has posed:
It's not often that someone can notice Snake Eyes sneaking up on them, but the ninja seems to take things in stride. Rather than continue to hide he steps out hands held loosely at his sides. He seems to study the other figure, remaining silent while inclining his head in a nod of greeting. Despite being armed to the teeth, Snake Eyes doesn't reach for any of the weapons secured to his person, keeping his hands at his sides until he gestures in a sweeping motion towards the rooftop door. There are strange things in Gotham and it may be best to let nature take it's course.

Azrael has posed:
The masked, armored figure looks like something out of the medival times, perhaps a paladin from a role-playing game. "You are not one of the Scarecrow's, and you are far too armed to be one of the gang meeting them. What is your purpose this night? Beware: hinder me not!"

Snake Eyes has posed:
Taking two of his fingers Snake Eyes points towards where his eyes hide behind his visor and then gestures towards building. Then he takes a couple of steps towards the knightly figure and inclines his head. Slowly, to make it obvious he's not going for a weapon, he taps himself on the chest. Then he points down at the building again, trying to get at something that way.

Azrael has posed:
One thing about masks is that they are expressionless. There is a tilt of the head, before a nod. "You watch what is inside? You seek to stop them? If so, I agree. They cannot take what they have come here to get." He turns away, then turns back, "Watch if you wish. Or join me against them." Another nod, and he turns back to the door and readies the sword to cut into the barrier.

Snake Eyes has posed:
Things are definitely not going the way he expected them to, but Snake Eyes isn't deterred. He pulls his electronic device from its pouch and quickly types a few words: 'Interloper attacking targets. Assisting.' Sliding it away he draws the katana from his back and loosens his suppressed automatic weapon on it's sling so he can hold it at the ready. It appears he's worked with colorful characters before as he prepares to work with this very strange individual.

Azrael has posed:
THe blade burns through the lock and the door opens. Things are quiet up top, for the moment at least. Dark on the catwalks and the stars down. Still negotiating how things are going to get to the harbor. While most of the guards on each side are watching the other group, two of Scarecrow's are looking up, for windows and doors. And when they see the red glow..."Boss! Get down!" And the two of them start to fire up to the catwalks.

Snake Eyes has posed:
Following the flame into the building proper, Snake Eyes keeps his head turning from side to side to scan for potential trouble. The sound of crooks shouting gets the ninja's attention and he starts to move swiftly to keep ahead of the gunfire. His own firearm is aimed towards the two shooters and the trigger is pressed to fire off a pair of short bursts. As soon as his weapon discharges Snake Eyes jumps over the catwalk's railing, aiming to get himself down to the floor level by sliding down the wall.

Azrael has posed:
Azrael jumps down the stairs to a landing, deliverately bouncing off the wall and down to the next. Bullets get closer, but the suit was designed with this in mind. And that's when one of the gas cansiters is hit by a ricochet, falling over and starting to vent. "Repent!" roars the avenging angel. "Do not lift your hand against my divine purpose, lest you die!"

Snake Eyes has posed:
The knightly vigilante seems like he knows how to keep himself alive so Snake Eyes can focus on taking out his share of the criminals. The ninja moves towards the nearest group of villains, darting from side to side and pouring lead at them from his weapon a burst at a time.

Should he end up amidst the crooks he'll start to strike out with sword strikes and blows from his feet, knees and elbows.

Azrael has posed:
With the fear gas spreading, the criminals are frightened, but not scared enough to flee. Instead, they start firing faster, more randomly. At the ninja, the angel, each other, at enraged phantoms only they can see. And each time they miss, another one is killed, by bullet or by blade, until none are left to fight. Some may be left unconscious, but many are dead.

Slowly, Azrael turns to the other. "This was...a good thing," he says. "But it will be best if you leave. The gas...will fade in time."

Snake Eyes has posed:
No villains left standing after the brutality inflicted upon them by the masked warriors, Snake Eyes pauses to make sure that no threats are left standing before sheathing his sword and slinging his firearm. The gas doesn't seem to be bothering him as he pulls his cell phone like device out from his pouch and quickly types something on it to show the other fellow, 'Good working with you. I'll have a team come in to collect the gas and the survivors.' After giving the other guy a chance to read what he wrote Snake types something else and sends it off to his handler, 'Bring in CBRNE element.'

Nodding to Azrael he extends his right hand towards them for a chance to shake.

Azrael has posed:
"If the gas ends up being used, I will be...displeased," Azrael returns. "But otherwise...it has been...acceptable." The flaming sword is sheathed, and a gauntleted hand is extended to grasp and shake firmly.

Snake Eyes has posed:
More typing on the phone thing before showing it to Azrael, 'Call me Snake. Gas will be safely disposed of.' The ninja's device buzzes and he looks down at it to see what's being sent his way, then back towards his new acquaintance.

Azrael has posed:
"Very well, Snake. If you ask for Azrael, you will find me." He inclines his masked head with a grave courtesy. "But I must search for more villainy and judge it."
