---

Shadowcat has posed:
The call came from the Professor. A bank robbery going down in Rhode Island has mutant involvement, though something is giving him problems identifying those responsible, holding off his probe via Cerebro.

And so the team responds, rushing to the Blackbird and soon jetting off into the sky for the short flight to Rhode Island. Kitty was with Peter Parker when the call came in. She gave him a look as if guessing his thoughts, and then shrugged and nodded her head to him.

The plane stops to make a pickup of one of Spider-Man's allies, and then flies on, reaching Rhode Island. It flies overhead of the bank. Everyone aboard is capable of getting to the ground safely on their in one fashion or another, so Kitty sets the plane on autopilot and everyone bails out. She glides down to the ground, letting Lockheed grasp her hands and glide the two of them down at a safe enough speed. She lands on the ground on the street across from the bank.

There are three police cars out front in the street, parked a distance from the door, and six cops with service revolvers pulled and ready. One of them moves over, wide-eyed, at the arrival of the caped heroes. "We're here to help officer," Shadowcat tells him. "What do you know of what's going on inside?"

Nightcrawler has posed:
While Kitty handles people, Kurt hangs back per usual. Listening on comms, curled up and sitting in a tucked up ball in his seat, eyes on the building, looking through windows where he can before noting, quietly.

<<"Kitty, I see some spots I can get in t'roo above zha first floor, ja?">> uncurling enough to pull out binoculars to look out the main cabin windows finding a few nice ceiling to appear and cling too.

<<"Gif me z'word und anyone who von't be too exhausted by the jump can form on me.">>

Spider-Man has posed:
Pete thumbed over the phone to send a text to Gwen: Bank Robbery in Rhode Island, bring sandwiches

Then threw on his costume on the way to board the blackbird. The short trip is spent doing stretches, "It's important to stay limber, guys. Seriously, you don't want to pull a hammy."

When the Blackbird goes auto-pilot, Spidey leaps out in a swan-dive, turning tight flips until within range of a building to shoot a few weblines to draw him in a slowing arch towards the officers, both red palms up in their direction, "Do. Not. Shoot me.. I'm here to help... now take me to your leader..." Glancing at Kitty who jumps right into asking question, "Or answer her questions, that's probably a lot more productive."

He glances towards the Bank, then back to Kitty, "Me and Spider-Girl will go top side." Touching her upper arm, one of his masks eyes shrinks, then he turns and fires off two weblines and yanks himself up in the air towards an ajacent building. He leaps off in the direction of the Bank. "See? Good stretching. Very limber."

Rogue has posed:
Rogue isn't in the plane, she's flying around outside of it. In green and gold, leather jacket on over her shoulders and a green headband helping tie her hair back out of her face she's soaring high in the sky and providing a certain amount over overwatch from up above.

The southern belle mutant has an ear-bud in for communication and she can hear the chatter already starting up as they draw closer. "This looks like quite a party." She says over the team comms.

Rogue swoops in low as she spots Spider-man doing his web whipping thing, whilst she just comes to land on the corner of a building's roof. Her thigh-high yellow booted legs shift her weight from right to left and back again, she's primed and ready to help... but with what precisely, there's a lot of heroic super power here right now for this stuff.

Ghost Spider has posed:
Ghost Spider can be just about anywhere in New York City super fast and easy, not like speedster fast but still she is pretty darn mobile.

Gwen peers at her phone at the text from Peter though. "Rhode Island and sandwiches. The hell?" she doesn't text that back but rather moves towards the pickup, swinging down at one of her and Pete's favorite sandwich spots to get like four random sandwiches and her and Pete's favorites.

She gets on the plane quick enough holding a bag with sandwiches. The eyes of her mask are wide as she looks around the interior "Holy crap this thing is amazing... it is also definitely not Avengers." a glance to Spider-man then she holds out the offered bag for him to distribute food items or stuff them somewhere, she suspects a pretty fast flight and he may have been kidding about sandwiches. The thing is. He usually isn't kidding.

Sometime during the flight she slips a comm earpiece under her mask.

She stays on the hovering jet honestly while people figure out the plan of attack. When Peter declares that he and Spider-Girl will go topside there is a direct and fierce protest. "Ghost Spider you Avengers Intern." it is said good natured enough, like she has to deal with this kind of quipping ALL THE TIME.

Still that was her queue to leap out of the plane and do very similar to how Spider-man got to the ground with her own webline, though instead of street level with cops she just aims for Bank Roof.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty says back to Kurt in her comms, "Finding out the situation from the police, stand by." The cop watches a flying woman in spandex body suit land on a roof, and the Spider-Man is landing on the street nearby too. "Holy crap, what is going on, this isn't New York," he says, shaking his head.

The cop motions over towards the bank, which is a tall one-story building, brick, with glass windows in front and glass doors. "The alarm was triggered and we estimate there's probably a dozen people in there at least," the cop says. "But we haven't heard anything from the robbers, don't know who is-"

The police officers situation report is interrupted by the brick side of the building blown outwards, showering the street with bricks and cracking or smashing the windows and windshields of the cop cars. There was no sound of explosives, just a loud impact, and the reason is quickly evident as an immense human being waddles out of the hole in the wall, his body fat flowing and swaying as he moves something like the innards of a lava lamp.

"Don't know who it is! I'll tell you who it is. It's Mr. Dukes!" yells Blob. He's carrying four big sacks of money in one hand, each big enough a grown man would strain to lift them, but they just hang from his hand like he were carrying some grocery bags.

Behind Blob, two other people in costumes emerge. A young man has a light blue and silver costume, with tubes running along his arms to end in some kind of nozzles on his knuckles. He shouts, "Don't forget, The Shrinker!" The other person is a woman in a purple suit with matching mask. "Get out of my way, Shrink-face," she says to The Shrinker. "The police will learn to cower before Designer!" she proclaims. She waves her hand in front of her and purple light begins to coalesce in front of her, starting to grow larger and begins to take on a humanoid shape.

Nightcrawler has posed:
When the wall explodes, Kurt ducks instinctively at first, popping up to look down at the people below, shaking his head "Fred... come on..." muttering and grumbling. "Fred why do you attract these people? I don't get it. We need to get you better counseling this time."

For a moment Nightcrawler considers what to do, <<"Anna, can you handle Fred?">> looking to the other two, <<"Anyone heard of the other two before?>> he straps his swords to his back, in case he needs to cut someone out of anything.

Spider-Man has posed:
Spidey lands on the roof a little bit after Rogue and stands up from his low crouch, arms pulling way back, then way up, twisting his shoulders to make sure that he's good and loose. Could be mutant involvement usually turned into Could be Sentinel involvement when it came to... just about anything.

The sandwiches are, in fact, tucked away. Victory lap, but he was deadly serious about them, despite his quippy comedic timing and superb delivery method of text messaging system. "So, I feel like you and I share a similar disposition towards these sorts of events?" Angling his slightly muffled voice (because of mask) at Rogue, "Smash in through the roof and punch at people until they relent to our superior physical accumen. My thoughts on it are this..." Hands up, forming a framing with his index finger and thumb, "We do that. Because in heroing, like science and life, if it's not broke... break it until it's broke, then fix it."

Paraphrasing.

"Oh, this is Spider-Girl.. she'll say her name is Ghost Spider, but.." Big shrug, "She's wrong." Good natured. Nothing is too serious for appropriate application of comedy. Not even hostage situations.

Business time!

Spidey glances over the edge where the brick is all blown out-e-fied, "Hey, it's the B-side villains!" Cupping hands around his masked mouth, "Did you just call yourself the Designer? Did you come up with that yourself or did you out-source it to Disney? Because you /definitely/ sound like a Kim-possible villain. Or a throw away character from the Life of Zach and Cody.. Or..." Clearly Pete is the distraction.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue watching down at the street as a face from her past in the Brotherhood makes an appearance. "Oh for God's sake... its Tubba." She mutters moments before Kurt asks her to deal with him. <"I see'im, Nightcrawler... I'll try'n get his attention. Think he always had a thing for me anyway."> She states back to Kurt over the comms.

Its then that Spider-man is beside her and she's looking over to him as he talks talks talks inside of that mask of his. She just stands there with her right hand on her pushed out right hip and a slight smirk on her lips aimed at him.

"Do you have t'wash that mask out every night cause ya slobber all over the inside'a it?" She teases the man within the red and blue costume. "Tell Ghost Spider that she's my faovrite'a you Arachnid types." Rogue does a smoochy-face at Spider-man then and she steps off the roof to glide down toward where the Blob is.

"Heya, too much Sugah." She says as she floats in front of him. "Long time no see... Ya feel like goin' for a stroll t'gether?" She asks in a sassy voice, trying to get him to grab at her, or lunge at her, anything that she can use to duck past his meaty arms, then get behind him and hopefully wrap him up in an arm lock.

Nightcrawler has posed:
In a brief break in the order of things, Kurt's voice comes back to Anna <<"Sweetheart, everyone with a pulse has a thing for you at some point or another, ja?">>

Ghost Spider has posed:
"

There is an aside to Rogue and Spider-man "Ghost Spider. Seriously. I appreciate you." to Rogue then she looks over the edge of the building as the Blob comes out. "Well okay that is something you don't see every day.. I mean.. for which I am totally glad. The jiggling is kind of .. man if you were high and staring at it you would probably be lost. They would send search parties and yet no one would return... " urp "I'm torn between confusion and throwing up a little in my mask." it is all for show, she is fine, this is quipping after all. Spider trait and taken very seriously.

Then "I have definitely absolutely not heard of the other two before." she answers succinctly to Nightcrawler. "I mean seriously if I had ever run into anything at all about The Shrinker or Designer those horribly chosen names would leave me scarred.. like the Blob scars everyone. Though very thematically appropriate names I imagine." she watches Pete dive off into getting into trouble and chooses to watch for the moment to see how the disney villain react.

Shadowcat has posed:
Designer's purple light light has taken on the shape of a gigantic Japanese swordsman, nearly 8 feet tall. He draws a glowing blade and strides forward towards one of the police cars. The cops begin firing at it, the bullets making visible splashes into the purple light but not seeming to stop the figure as it cleaves the police car nearly in two. "Actually I did come up with it myself," Designer says, her eyes narrowing with instant hatred towards Spider-Man. She gestures towards the Wallcrawler, and the purple Samurai darts away, ignoring the cops who are unloading their revolvers into him as he begins scaling the building towards Spider-Man.

Blob grins as Rogue flies down before him. "Aw Anna-Marie, you know I always had a thing for you," he confirms. "Always wanted to give you something pretty and worth a lot of money. Well, just worth a lot will have to do," he says as he uses one of the huge bags of money like a sap, swinging it to try to brain Rogue.

<<Those inside the bank are safe, Nightcrawler, could use you in the fight,>> Shadowcat says. <<And anyone have any idea what Shrinker's power->> Her words cut off as Shrinker points his hands towards her and the cop that Kitty was talking to. Beams of blue energy shine out as Kitty grabs the cop and pulls him with her to dive behind the police car. The beams hit the police car and it... shrinks. Down to the size of a remote-controlled car. "Ok, I know what Shrinker's power is," Shadowcat says, pushing the cop back to his feet and telling him to run before Shrinker can fire again.

Nightcrawler has posed:
<<"Don't worry Kitty... I'll work on the... Bad Lantern...">> Kurt leaps forward even as his place on the jet is replaced with a cloud of indigo smoke. He doesn't go for the Samurai, to deflect or dissuade it. He goes directly for the source.

BAMF! Kurt appears in close proximity, leaping towards the woman with a fang filled smile on his face. "Now then! Very foolish, ja? You could haf been the top paid Whee-Ef-Ex performer in your Hollyvood, ja?" Kurt attempts to run past Designer as he speaks, with the intent of wrapping his tail around her ankle and yanking hard.

Spider-Man has posed:
"Words hurt, Rogue." Peter shouts out at her after her barb, "Right here in front of everyone, like I don't have feelings... it's... it's just uncivilized. You're uncivilized." All this to Rogue.

Back to the Villains.

Spidey lands in a crouch after his little divey town into chaos ville, "So... wait which one of you was the Shrinker? Was it the tiny mismatched club kid or..." Pointing, arms crossing, uncrossing, trying to figure them out. "Do I call you /THE/ Designer? Or do you have a shorthand you're wanting people to coin for you? I'll make it stick, just ask Spider-Girl."

Pete can put a /lot/ of words into a lot of motion. He's Ph Balanced for acrobatic conversation... Side flipping up onto a pole, then up and over, the Samurai. "Hey now! Don't you go nuts with your electric Light... I'm like 90% sure that's copy right infringement against Disney too! You know they have a parade, right?"

It seems pretty obvious to him that as long as there's a Designer, there will be a design, so Spidey fires a web at an lamp as he falls and uses the momentum to swing into a double kick towards said self style (kek) villain under assault already by the Nightcrawler! A COMBO ACTION!? "OH SWEET! My first Combo attack! Do we do bonus damage if we're working together? I'm pretty sure our powers synergy!"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue hovers up off of the ground with one knee bent upward and the other leg extended downward toward the ground below. She hovers right in front of Fred's face and at his response to her, Rogue just places a hand over her heart with her gloved fingertips touching the smooth fabric of her green and gold bodysuit. "Freddy Poo, you're such a classically trained gentleman." And then the swing comes and Rogue's Seventh Senses warns her about it... though as much as the Blob telegraphs his attacks, you don't need a danger-sense to see it coming!

Quickly, Rogue ducks and then side-glides around and beside the big fat man to try to grab his wrist and bend it backward, then squeeze'n'pull it around behind the 'small' of his fat dripping back.

Rogue's right hand holds him by his wrist and tries to bend his hand painfully forward to make his palm touch his wrist, while her left arm braces behind his shoulders and she TRIES to slam him face first into the pavement!

"That ain't how ya treat a lady, Freddy!" She grunts out at the biggun.

Ghost Spider has posed:
"I do like Bad Lantern. Also .. I was definitely on top of it with the thematically appropriate names if horrible names..." she takes another moment, flexing her hands and making a slight adjustment on her webslingers with the motion.

Then she leaps off the bank building at this point with a little flip, planting a foot on a street light to flip back down the other way and land in a crouch behind The Shrinker. I mean seriously Spider-Man and Kitty are providing excellent distractions and all. She pivots her hands THWIPS with both of them. The right hand sends out a solid glob of webbing, kind of like a beanbag round from a shotgun. Meanwhile the left hand sends out a wide sticky tangle you up web blast, traditional spider theme splat.

"You need to make sure your combo bar is full first... a lot more hitting and fighting and then you unleash your synergy attack Spidey!" yes they are all just geeks and nerds.

Shadowcat has posed:
The purple samurai swings its sword at Spider-Man, missing him, and then slicing through the pole that Spidey lands on, the Webslinger just managing to get away before his perch topples.

Designer is surprised by Nightcrawler's sudden appearance. "Where did you-" she manages to get out before her foot is yanked out from under her right as Spider-Man swings in, intending to kick her. Designer manages to pull up a shield of the purple energy, enough to take some of the impact though the kick still sends her flying backwards to land on her back with an off. The purple samurai giant storms forward, slashing his sword in a sideways sweep trying to hit both Kurt and Spider-Man in one giant swing.

Rogue manages to grab Blob's arm, but as she smashes his face forward he gets his other arm beneath him to protect his head, which is lacking some of the blubber of the rest of him. He just bounces back, roaring, "Agh! Stop it woman!" and using the momentum to throw a beefy super-strength punch towards Rogue's gut.

The web shot hits Shrinker, staggering him for a moment, but he manages to flail about and shoot in time to turn the second web into something like the smallest little shot of silly string. It hits his chest and makes a little spot, like he had chewing gum hanging from his costume.

Shrinking flails about his with his shrink ray, turning a section of the bank's undamaged brick wall into tiny bricks. The ray continues on, heading towards where Rogue is grappling with Blob.

Kitty, meanwhile, darts forward, picking up the tiny police car and throwing it at Shrinker's head. "Ow!" he cries as it whacks him good in the forehead, though it just angers him as he swings his warm around to aim his next shot towards Kitty.

Nightcrawler has posed:
"Purple samurai... Like a bad Prince Joke, ja?" Kurt tumbles and scuttles to get away from the sword slash catching a glance across the blades of the shoulder, sending him to the ground, and skidding him along the sidewalk, indigo blood running from his nose and the roadrash beneath his beard.

Wavering a moment, Kurt teleports again to get distance before he throws a hard right hook - teleporting to connect his fist on both sides of Designer's face, at least if he can. He's a little dizzy. That was like getting slapped by Piotr by accident.

Spider-Man has posed:
"Damn she's right!" Peter shouts unto Gwen's redress of his lacking combo points. "Alright, time to put a little more work in. Fight montage!" Both feet connect the purple shield and send Designer tumbling away, just as big purple shiny samurai warrior swings his big purple samurai sword at Kurt and himself! "Whoa, big guy. Fly swatters and/or newspapers... swords are so seventeenth century... unless you're one of like a hundred Japanese themed heroes.. so.. basically nevermind." Senses tingling, he was already leaping up impossibly high and bending ina rolling backflip that bends his body in ways that humans weren't meant to bend.

Content to engage in a clown session, at least, until Kitty is the target of Shrinkers ray of shrinking! "Watch where you're pointing that thing, pal, she's short enough." Double webbing towards the gun-arm and giving a massive tug out of his flip landing, trying to angle the weapon towards Designer instead.

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen straightens from her crouch and watches the webbing shrink to chewing gum size. "Okay that is .. just not right at all." then she leans back dropping to plant one hand on the ground behind her as she limbo bars under the sweeping shrink ray that manages to shrink the bank to lego block sized bricks. "Woah now." and then he is onwards towards Rogue and Blob.

"Hey my current favorite southern belle ... use tubby as a shrink shield about now .. oh and heads up!"

The Warning out of the way she turns her attention back to Shrinker menacing Kitty. Another twist of her wrists as she leaps in a slide, firing a webshot out and trying to snag his wrist while he is focused on the matchbox menace.

The real plan though is to snag his wrist, and then twist him around so he shoots himself with his own shrink ray. Time to see if he is immune to his own powers or gadgetry really.

Rogue has posed:
Even with her ability to forcefully shove 100 tons of weight, Rogue struggles against Fred's abilities in reverse. So she loses her grip on him and he spins around to punch her right in her gut. Its a good hard hit and its even loud with skin on synthetic suit and muscle beneath it, but Rogue only floats back about a foot before she smirks at the Blog

"Nice try-- but."

She cuts herself off as the warning comes her way, but its too late and the shrink ray blasts in to the southern belle's body sending her back into the wall and in a haze of light and smoke...

Tinker-Belle gets a whole new meaning.

"What the fuck?" The tiny 6-inch tall Rogue says, floating in mid air up beside a building. "What the fuck is this?!" She shouts in a little voice, then ZOOMS up into the sky to avoid a punch from Blob who tries to take advantage of her like this and smash her like a fly!

Shadowcat has posed:
The giant purple samurai catches Nightcrawler, and Designer who is just regaining her feet grins as she sees the sight of Kurt's blood. "Now the insect," she incorrectly labels Spider-Man. The samurai obeys, though his body splits in two, forming two smaller warrior figures, each about five feet tall. While Spider-Man is focused on Shrinker, they rush towards him to try to gang-tackle him.

Designer's head gets thwapped on both sides by Kurt and she staggers. One of the purple automatons staggers with her while the other continues on towards Spider-Man.

Blob roars with laughter as Rogue gets tiny-fied. He begins swatting at her. Blob is immense, and so his agility and speed often surprise people, as he moves as fast as any fit athlete despite his bulk. "Gonna crush you little bug!" Blob cries, keeping up with the insect references.

Two sets of webs grab Shrinker's wrist and tug his arm about. "Hey, stop it!" he yells at them, tugging on one of the webs. His shrink ray beams all over the place. It hits a fire hydrant which turns tiny and shoots into the air as the water beneath it is released. It hits a billboard of a woman smiling with perfect white teeth, shrinking it down. And the ray swings right towards Shadowcat's head.

She EEPS and suddenly phases and lets gravity drop her into the ground right, pony tail flying above her head as she does. For a moment one can't tell whether it hit or not. But finally she sticks her head back above ground. Her hair is shrunk to the point she looks like a brown-haired Negasonic, but thankfully the rest of her head is normal size. "Gah! Lockheed!" she cries. The dragon swoops down, opening his mouth to let out a plume of fire towards Shrinker's trapped arm. It burns away the webs holding him, but as the smoke clears, it also has melted the tubes that ran to his gauntlets. "NO!" he screams as he can't get the ray to fire again.

Nightcrawler has posed:
Keeping up his advantage, Kurt teleports again, and again, to create a cloud of sulfurous smoke enveloping Designer, to block her vision hopefully as he attempts to get his tail around her ankle again before starting to run up the wall.

"I've got her... get her video game minions!" Kurt calls out, confident - but too confident? He has no time to take full note of Mississippi Belle Barbie over there, but when he does it's a good chance she's going to have several doll accessory playsets delivered to her room.

Spider-Man has posed:
Too focused on the one thing, Spidey almost misses the bigger picture and this is why getting distracted in the middle of a fight, even against people named Designer, are generally ill favored. "Oh, Rogue is tiny! Guys, look, guys, seriously, Rogue is tiny!" That'll be the end of him. The web hits Shrinker's wrist just as Gwen's does, "Oh come on!" Between them they're playing tug-o-war with a shrink ray.

No good can come of this.

Splitting light constructs are barrelling down upon him, even if one of them has gone kind of pear-shaped with the stumbling. Spidey's senses go off only a half second before the thing hits him right in the back, but it's not really enough time to do much more than avoid! Which he only to a smol (Like ROGUE) degree, managing to keep from being grabbed, but not from being kicked!

Rolling over onto the sidewalk until he's laying face flat against the concrete, "Alright, mandatory team building exercise..." Mumbling as he pushes himself up into a hopping crouch firing a web out towards Designer's face to try and web her eyes, hopefully making Kurt's brawl a little easier.

Ghost Spider has posed:
"Well.. like a fairy princess...." is all Gwen manages to say as Rogue gets blasted and then she is wrestling with the shrink gun and causes mass mayhem thanks to Parker getting in the way. "Look. I know you have feelings here. They may be clouding your judgement and you should probably stick to your own villain." she seems a bit frustrated not at all quippy for a moment.

Once the webs are burned off, as do the guns, she leaves Peter to his fate and just leaps from the crouch she was in and tackles the Shrinker. There is a swift application of her fists and his face at this point. Going for the knockout strike really. Working off a bit of frustration but not trying to break him, she is still a good guy and just needs a good solid K.O.

I mean seriously at this point they need some sort of win to build up momentum out here right.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue is now busy dodging punches from the Blob and just as she's about to get away he slaps a hand out and grabs hold of her! He squeezes her inside of his massive mitt and raises her up to look at her head sticking out of his palm.

"You dare and touch me, ya big butterball and you're still gonna get dropped like a dump cake!" Rogue shouts up at him in her tinier voice.

Over the comms she glances over to her comrades. "Ya'll better figure out how to turn that gun t'Grow Back to Normal mode!" She's now shouting at them as she wiggles free of the big bastard's grip and tries to fly up in the air again as he uses both of his hands to try to catch her once more!

Shadowcat has posed:
Shrinker is pretty much just a normal guy without his shrinking ray. And one who knows jack all about fights, other than getting beaten up by Milton every day for his lunch money in 8th grade. That's right, his bully's name was Milton. No wonder he built a shrink ray and turned to villainy.

Though he's not thinking about much as Ghost Spider KOs him. The only thing missing is a referee sliding across the pavement for a better angle, counting him out. Meanwhile, Designer isn't doing much better as Kurt drags her up the wall and Spider-Man shoots webs towards her face. She's throwing up blobs of purple solidified light haphazardly, trying to protect herself, and trying to bludgeon Kurt with them. Her ability to form them into very useful forms is at a minimum with the beating she's taking.

The two warriors she did have time to fully craft, while shorter, are quick and their swords are sharp. One goes after Spider-Man, stabbing towards him, while the other turns on Ghost-Spider is she is now free.

Kitty runs a hand through what used to be her hair. "Oh. Oh God. Rogue, look at what he did to my hair!?" she complains, as if that is somehow worse than having her entire body shrunk to match the tiny little ponytail.

Kitty sprints at Blob while he's still trying to grab Rogue. "Hey Mister Immovable, let me help you with that staying in contact with the ground thing," she says as she leaps at Blob. Kitty grabs him and phases him, sinking him into the pavement to his thighs. She's found in the past that super-durable people don't tend to lose their limbs when phased into solid matter like a normal human would. But it does pin him there for the moment. "Light him up, Rogue!" Kitty yells as she rolls free of the temporarily restrained Blob, who is already starting to pummel the concrete, his heavy blows cracking it as he begins trying to break himself free.

Nightcrawler has posed:
Thump "OW!" WHap "Stop!" thump-whap-poomp! "Staahhp!" It's a good thing Kurt can grip with all of his limbs, but the smacking being issued by Designer is not helping. Bruises forming, Kurt snaps his tail, attempting to smack Designer against the wall hard enough to wind her, or knock her out.

<<"How's Anna? Or are we calling her Southern Princess Barbie now?">> He could ask her, but he's getting hit repeatedly, and again he nearly looses his grip, hoping, breathing quick... Should just let her fall and teleport to catch her at the last second - that'd show her.

Spider-Man has posed:
"Because only Spider Ghost can switch around, got it. Totally wont forget to text you next time." Spidey is dusting himself off after webbing Designers face, frustrated his own self for having done jack and shit except come up with some pretty stinging insults early on. Pat, dust, brush, Dodge.. "These samurai's are tenacious... Hey, Ghost Girl, you want to handle both of them or is it okay if I take one? Asking for a friend."

They're solid enough to hit him, so they're solid enough for webbing. Spidey, leaps up above Five-foot purple samurai, webs the arm swinging the sword, and tries to use his own momentum to make the smaller, but still dangerous, construct pucnh itself in the face. "You want me to step back, now Ghost? Hey, how about a sudden but inevitable betrayal while you blatantly pummel that guy unnecessarily?" Spider-Man webs a park bench, with an arm stretched backwards while still holding the first, and hurls it at the Construct.

The thing is, they don't really feel pain, do they?

The bench breaks against it and the sword sweeps through webbing, stumbling Peter into a back bend beneath the blade swinging at /him/. "Hey Hoodie Spider, look, I'm struggling." Ducking, dodging, cartwheeling, "You should hurry up with your's and take mine out too."

All the showing off ultimately costs him.

The construct swings its sword back and slashes cleanly through the thigh side as the wallcrawler is coming out of a single arm hand plant.

Ghost Spider has posed:
"No guy should ever call himself The Shrinker for the record." Gwen's spider senses go off and she looks up from punching The Shrinker unconscious there. "I just punched him enough to knock him out don't give the reporters red meat, you should know this by now." she rolls back and launches the unconscious Shrinker sliding towards the cops and out of the dangerzone of the ongoing fight. Look at her being considerate of people's safety.

She really isn't sure about the whole fighting a light construct, and honestly all the snark and quipping at her isn't helping that much with her concentration. "Less sass at your allies and more at the bad guys Spidey." not that she expects him to listen, he is on a roll that is liable to .. ah there it is.. end in pain.

Gwen leaps back away from the one coming at her now and tries the one two combo of webbing, not sure if this will even be effective as she hits with the hard shot of webbing then a wide net.

Testing to see if it just walks right through it or if her shots pass through the construct. "The shrink gun is a bit melted, I am sure when this is all settled down I can figure out how to reverse it Tink!" that was for Rogue.

Rogue has posed:
<"I've neve'ah been bette'ah, Kurt!!"> Rogue growls over the team comms after Kitty lodges the Blob into the grond and she just flies in beside his head and starts kicking, kicking repeatedly and kicking liberally. This is causing the Blob's head to slap against his opposite shoulder with every kick that he gets from the southern tinkerbelle.

"So glad t'HEAR it!" She shouts then to Gwen Ghost. "Otherwise, there's gonna be hell t'pay while I try'n find Rick Morranis' home address!" As if he can do anything to fix her!

Shadowcat has posed:
The samurai construct fighting Spider-Man gets staggered by the bench that hits it, not feeling pain but affected by things that hit it. The one going after Gwen is only slowed by the bean-bag web, but gets well entangled by the other, trying to use its sword to cut itself free.

Designer wills constructs into being trying to absorb Nightcrawler's blows, just discs and blocks of energy though Kurt manages to get hold of her head. Designer's skull is bounced off the wall and she crumples. As she does her two constructs fade away, the purple light hissing off them like smoke as they literally evaporate without her will to hold them together.

Leaving just Blob. While Rogue is tiny, she's still stronger than a person many times over. And all of that force put into a tiny little foot would be enough to puncture a less durable opponent. As it is, it's like getting stabbed repeatedly with a ton of force. "OW! Ow! Stop it you- Ow! Of all the- Not my nose!" Blob roars, swatting his hands back and forth trying to shoo Rogue away like she were a fly.

He's so frenzied trying to swat her that he doesn't even hear that pitch of the police siren as it Doppler shifts up. For the non-science folks in the room, that means it's coming towards him.

WHAM!!! Kitty rams a police car into Blob who is still half-buried to his thighs in the concrete. The car wraps him around, totaled, while Kitty flies through windshield, engine block and Blob, phasing as she flies out of the car and disappears below ground for a moment before she's slowed herself and rises back up.

Blob looks woozy, and the cops move in to help. A half dozen tasers hit him all at once, sticking on his cheeks and forehead. There's a sizzling sound and then Blob slumps forward, unconscious.

Nightcrawler has posed:
Nightcrawler blinks when he feels the form go slack in his tail, and he stops getting battered about the face and neck. Eyes turned downward, he leaps into a turning tumble to capture up the unconscious form of the woman, landing on he cement in a carrying crouch.

"Spider... people. I am not good wit d'science, ja? Can you come look und see if she is using tech?" Kurt's vision is doubled from head shots too, sighing hard and using the moment crouched over the felled woman to get his breath and bearings, resisting the urge to rub at his goose eggs while he's on display in public.

Spider-Man has posed:
Well that hurt.

Spidey grabs the sword and pulls himself off into a backwards flip into hand out crouch, the other running up against his side to come away bloody, "Oh neat.. that doesn't happen often.." Kids gloves, off. Both hands fling out, firing webs at the center of the constructs chest, yanking himself into a double kick, spring off, web double kick.

Double the double kick.

Four times the feet.

Good enough for Foot Locker.

Or squares, who remembers squares?

God being a kid was so much easier.

Spidey lands and checks his side again, "Yeah, still bleeding.. How long does bleeding last? Anyone know? This really hurts."

Ghost Spider has posed:
Ghost Spider looks very pleased as the construct fades. "Good job!" she calls over to Nightcrawler, kudos where kudos are due at this point right. Turning to deal with the Blob and... seeing that she doesn't have to is honestly also a relief at this point.

"Make a webbing bandage to staunch the bleeding?" she suggests and isn't sarcastic, she actually sounds worried for a tick.

"Do you think we can make a webfluid mix that is conductive and jury rig a tazer into it..." wheels turning. Wheels turning. Then Kurt mentions science spiders. She isa science spider. Wait wasn't there something she said she would do.

Oh crap, right. Tinkerbelle. She turns and jogs over to the unconscious Shrinker and crouches down starting to examine the Shrink Gun tubes and gauntlets. Picking his arms up and looking at the melted material of the one tube.

Fingers nimbly looking for releases to try to get a gauntlet off so she can see if there are any triggers or controls in them..

Rogue has posed:
Rogue continues to blast away at Fred Dukes' dome up until she hears the approaching cop car too and just before it hits the Blob, Rogue utters a quiet "Uh oh." And flies straight up into the air, dodging one of Fred's meaty paws and the squad car as it collides into him!

After the dust settles, and the Kitty launches out of the front of the vehicle, Rogue comes to settle down ontop of it all and then just... sits down and crosses her tiny legs at the knee, and her arms overtop of her knees.

"I'm not movin' a muscle until someone shows up here who can fix me. Be it, Tony... or that smart stretchy guy from the Fantastic Five." She doesn't really know much about that team, apparently even how many members it has.

"No joke, this is not how I'm gonna live my lif---" She pauses that thought as she brushes some of her hair out of her face and then after a few seconds of inner dialogue she has to shake those thoughts away. "Nah, not even that part would make it worth it...." She says, to herself. Whatever it is she was thinking about.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde walks back over as she sees the cops have Blob unconscious. Once they eventually get him restrained, she'll phase his legs out of the concrete so they can get him into a SHIELD paddy wagon when it arrives.

In the meantime she goes over to where Rogue is sitting on the car. She winces but says, "Beast or one of the others will surely be able to undo it," she says, not really knowing Ghost Spider's science acumen at all to include her.

Kitty glances about, spotting Spider-Man and the bloody wound on his side. "Aw, are you ok?" she asks, moving over to check on him, making sure it isn't something immediately threatening. "Rolled when you should have flipped?" she asks, not having caught that part of the fight while she was grabbing the squad car from one of the cops.

Speaking of squad cars, the first police car that was shrunk, that gone thrown at Shrinker and bounced off his head... it suddenly grows back to normal size. It's so sudden that one of the cops whirls and shoots the car. The cop in charge yells at him. "Jones!? Think maybe we've damaged enough cars without you adding more holes?" he asks, looking at the car that the giant samurai cut in half.

Spider-Man has posed:
Pete points a wrist at his side and sprays some webbing over the slash after he's been appropriately dramatic about having been cut. It's sort of not top on his list of favorite things to happen, generally speaking. Far and beyond, he'd just rather clown on people and keep things moving, but this is how the construct crumbles. He glances up at Kitty approaching, "Yeah, something like that. Got a little wordy.." Thumbing at.. okay well the construct is gone, but he thumbs in the general constructy use to be ish direction.

"I'll be fine." Patting the wound with only a little wince.

"Time to go do science." He's no Doctor Sam Beckett (who is legit a time travelling rapist if you think about it. Seriously, think about it.), but he knows a thing or two about technologies. So he heads over to get a look at the device, even all busted up, that Shrinker was using. "If I had to guess, baring Pym particles or something.. I'm almost positive the two of us can reverse engineer this.." Turnign the downed villain over with little pushes, "If theres some kind of chemical compound, I can almost positively duplicate it..."

Glancing up at tiny Rogue, "But it's probably temporary."

Nightcrawler has posed:
Sitting back and watching, Kurt just makes sure he's on hand in case Designer needs to be restrained again. Long breaths for now. Zip ties or cuffs don't matter if she doesn't need her hands after all.

<<"We need something to inhibit this one. All of her stuff stopped when she went unconscious. So either mutant or metahuman... or alien with human looking form...">> Kurt still frisks Designer, though, just to be sure she doesn't have tech hidden on her. Not to be a creep. He's no Sam Beckett

Ghost Spider has posed:
"I'm actually disappointed we don't get to reverse engineer it..." notes Ghost Spider as she watches the cop car get shot. "Definitely seems to be very temporary..." she stops messing with the technology and looks to the cops. "All yours I think at this point." she gives a smart salute and then is running back over to see small Rogue all up close and personal.

"So smol.." is all she murmurs watching the superhero before it reverses.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue just looks at them all as they gather up and she stands up on the car and puts her hands on her hips. "It'll wear off?" She asks then as Spider-man tells her that. She glances down at herself and sighs softly. "Fine." Her eyes rise up and she looks to Blob on the ground, then over to Kitty and Kurt. "Nice hair." Rogue tells Kitty with a tiny smirk.

"I guess I'll fly home then, if it'll wear off... if it doesn't, then well... I'm gonna be on a warpath until I get fixed. Cause this just ain't gonna work."

With a hover up into the air, about six feet off the ground she swirls in a circle and then starts upward further. "This is weird. Everything feels huge!" And with that said, she heads up toward the building rooftops but is still on comms.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty watches as Peter webs the slash closed. "Hrm. Are you sure that's hygienic? Do you know where those webshooters have been?" she asks him slightly teasingly. Kitty rests a hand on Peter's shoulder, the touch and her expression showing she's glad he is ok.

She nods to Kurt as he's keeping an eye on Designer. "Nice job, Nightcrawler," Kitty tells him as she moves back over to Rogue. "Well, the car reverted so... let's hope," Kitty says, reaching up to rub at the tiny bristle-like hair on her head. "You sure you should fly like that? I mean... you know... sea gulls and hawks and things," she says, her lips quirking just a little bit. Because it is funny.

A small bit of humor, as it were.

SHIELD shows up in no time, a restraining thing on Designer, and the team goes to meet the plane away from town for pickup. Soon they are winging through the sky, heading towards New York to where they picked up Ghost Spider. "Was nice having you along," Kitty says towards the female Spider. The Spider... Girl, if you will.

Nightcrawler has posed:
Kurt Wagner, once aboard the jet, takes the time to lay out in one of the jump seats where he can lay back. "Going to have to get concussion checked back at base. Don't let me fall asleep." he sighs "I don't know wht Anna is so upset, her shopping costs are infinitesimal if she doesn't grow back to normal, ja?"

Ghost Spider has posed:
"Okay so Spider-man did ask me to bring sandwiches.... I got a sampling from the spot we often get our sandwiches...." she hesitates "I'm saying sandwiches a lot." she thunks her head back into the seat rest. "I definitely need more practice against people who don't just mug people or are more complicated than Stilt-man... definitely."

"But.. thanks for saying you liked having me along. So yeah.. uh.. Ghost Spider... Nightcrawler.. I'm not actually sure I caught you and your awesome actual dragon's name?"

Spider-Man has posed:
Peter, ala Spider-Man, is sitting on a bench with a medical kit looking over the wound beneath his silk-web bandage. His mask is pulled up above his mouth with his own sandwich unwrapped beside him as well because there's a business to eating and he's a growing young man who needs his fuel. "See? Planning... I planned.." Wince when he spreads the already sorta healing wound to see how deep it is, "Who can stitch?" Pointing at the wound, the other hand grabbing his sandwich with a bloody glove as if he's done this before.

But it's his own blood, so.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty sets the plane on auto-pilot for a bit and unstraps herself from her seat. She's got on her black and yellow X-man uniform, which includes a domino mask for public moments like today. She goes over to check on Kurt, doing the look at my finger test and such. "Hopefully Elixir can take care of that for you," she says to Nightcrawler. "You too," she adds to Spider-Man, rising from where Kurt is lying to head back towards the pilot's chair.

"Ooo, did you say sandwiches?" Kitty asks. She moves over to see what Ghost Spider has brought. "I'm Shadowcat. And this is Lockheed, the trustiest dragon a girl ever called her friend," she says, reaching up to pat Lockheed were he's resumed his place on her shoulder.

She takes one of the sandwiches with a grateful smile. "Appreciate you coming and helping. Spidey'd probably have four more cuts in him without you there," she says in a voice meant to be teasing for Spider-Man. She looks over to his wound. "I can do it if you need," she says. She checks on the plane briefly, but then it's quite capable of flying itself. Kitty goes over to get the medical kit. "We can just super-glue it," she says, pulling out a tube of medical adhesive, "Unless it's too serious for that?"

Nightcrawler has posed:
Sure of his status after Kitty checks him out and giving her a nod of thanks with a pat on the shoulder as she turns to leave - Kurt rolls out of his seat and moves towards Peter. First responder training counts for something after all. "Raise your shirt,u nd give das ladies a show, or I'll haf to cut it ok?" opening the specialized packs from his belt and panels in his armor to draw out those crazily well packed bandages and the gauze wraps that go with it... And alcohol wipes. From the buckle he pulls a set of curved needles and suture thread.

Ghost Spider has posed:
"I'll note that I am a biochemical geneticist not a medical doctor so.. no actually haven't had to give myself stitches yet. I'd go for the superglue." she is pretty new still, no actual sword wounds yet under her belt.

"there are like four for you two to pick from.. sandwiches that is... maybe the dragon wants one.. I didn't know how many to get." she peels her own mask up so she can start to eat one as she watches Peter get doctored. "I love the jet. Does every obvious team of superheroes have their own jet and batcar and stuff like that but us Spidey?"

Spider-Man has posed:
Peter takes a bite and tosses his sandwich down, eyes up on Kitty as she approaches with a grin around his chewing, "Yeah, that's precisely what would have happened. I'd have died. If she hadn't been there, I'd be dead. Dead and dust and forgotten. Absolutely." At Kurt's insistence for him to lift his shirt, hopefully for some kind of stitching and not for a purple nerple, Pete does so. Muscles and stuff, whatever, you know who plays him.

"Yeah, basically. Everyone has a billion dollar bankroll... some of them two or three billion dollar bankrolls." Motioning at the jet, "This thing probably costs enough to /buy/ my powers, much less run a far better PR compaigne, but it's cosey right? I mean..." Pushing backwards into the seats to test how comfortable they are, "Just the picture of fine flying."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde gives way to Kurt's suturing skills, keeping on an eye on things as she heads back to the pilot's chair with the sandwich. "She is a beautiful bird," Kitty agrees of the Blackbird, running a hand over the console lovingly. "And has saved my life a number of times. Even at the cost of her own," she says. Kurt at least would know of Kitty's Christmas Eve as a 13 year old, spent alone at the school when a N'garai demon attacked. Ending with it being vaporized by the jet, wrecking plane and hangar both in the process.

She gives a soft laugh at the mention of the Batmobile. "He's got a jet too," she says of Batman. "Launched a couple of missiles from it at a Sentinel that was chasing me down," she says to Ghost Spider. "And no one could buy your powers. Though they seem to be cropping up enough, don't they?" she teases Spidey.

Nightcrawler has posed:
Kurt just get in there, alcohol wipes, sterilizing, stitching. It's gonna be a wicked scar, But in the words of Keanu - Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever.

"I really wonder what got Fred riled up enough to do something that stupid... Eric set him off his leash? Worse?" the Bavarian sighs and focuses to his task again.

Ghost Spider has posed:
"Honestly more than you would believe..." is muttered when Kitty teases Peter about the powers popping up a lot really. "We need a secret lair Spidey." she notes and then takes a bite of her sandwich and watches Kurt work. She doesn't seem grossed out but then she said she worked in genetics, probably not the grossest thing she has ever seen.

"Oh.. that reminds me. I ran into another new Spider themed hero a couple times in the last week. She goes by Arana... is a bit monochromomatic.. all black with a white spider symbol. She has this ridiculously strong exo-carapace .. like liquid that hardens when impacted but looks like our suits materials normally. Says it is magic."

Spider-Man has posed:
"Yeah, there's like fo-" Enter Gwen mentioning monochromatic Spider, "Five of us." Correcting as if it's just a turn of the wheel and of no real surprise to him at all. Honestly, somene would have to get up pretty early to surprise Peter anymore. Nine years of being Spider-Man has left him kind of difficult to impress... metaphorically speaking. "Really?" Glancing over at Gwen with the eyes of his mask shrinking as if narrowing his eyes, "Magical spider now? How... god I hate magic. Ask her." Pointing up at Kitty with two bloody fingers. "She knows. I hate magic... makes f- OUCH, shit, could you maybe... sorry.." To Kurt.

He glances down at the stitch work and sighs, rolling his neck until it pops, "Sorry, I should be use to this by now, but when do you get use to getting stabbed by stuff, right? I mean, I guess when you die, you're basically as use to it as you're going to get." Musings of a tired spider.

"So, five spiders. All of the things they're doing being blamed on me... except when they do something good, then it's thrown in my face how much better they are." Double thumbs up, "ten of ten, would spend my entire adult life protecting unsanctified asshole New Yorks only to be unceremoniously trashed in the papers again."

Shadowcat has posed:
Shadowcat shrugs towards Kurt. "Simple greed? He's never really been the best planner that I can recall," she says. "It might be good that Colossus wasn't there. Those two can wreck a block when they got at each other," she says.

She takes a bite of her sandwich, checking the plane's course and making sure no commercial flights are too near. She moves back to join the others, resting a hand on Peter's shoulder. "Well, we know how it feels. At least you don't have fifty feet tall robots being mass-produced to eradicate you. So there's always a bright side, just sometimes you have to look really hard to find it," she says consolingly.

Nightcrawler has posed:
"I never get used to when I get shot at und it connects. Don't vurry." Kurt notes, "And be glad I had suture und not staples ja?" he gives a grin that's all fangs now. Kitty's comment causing him to, briefly, look to her and then back to his work. "No he hasn't, and ja. Very good Piotr wasn't there. It would have looked like a sumo match gone wrong."

Nightcrawler has posed:
Kurt Wagner says, "I feel your pain too, too many of... you, all over the place. Mine are miniature versions of me that are generally naked and don't speak any Earthly language.""

Ghost Spider has posed:
"Yup five spiders.... and she >says< it is magic. It honestly looked and reacted like some sort of organic coating on her skin that she had control over. She said I shouldn't take a sample and then said magic when I asked about experimenting on it."

"Also come on Spidey... I get bad press too.. I mean the Stilt-Man fight and my being thrown through the Macy's window on Fifth Avenue wasn't directly blamed on you.. it was blamed on the Spider Menace... see.. they don't like any of us really." she fishes in the bag and notes "Heads up S-man." and tosses him a soda, his favorite.

Spider-Man has posed:
"No, just me intentionally putting myself in harms way to keep them from doing so." Peter says to Kitty with a side glance in her direction, head cocked to one side, trying real hard not to point out that one of the mutants they're out to kill is /her/, his girlfriend. "How's that suppose to make me feel better? Where's the silver lining? All I hear is that 'people' are horrible, which is making me wonder why the hell I'm bothering.. Giant robots, smear campaignes, general-." There's a very uncharacteristic rant right there on his tongue, but Gwen throws a soda at him and his hand pops up to catch it without even looking in that direction.

It spins in his palm, then settles between both of them, leaning forward a little to rest his arms on his knees once Kurt's done with the back-seat stitches. The visible part of his mouth works from one expression to another, shifting from a frown, to a thoughtful line, to just a pensive blank. "I think I need a vacation."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde moves a hand to cover her smile, and laugh, at Kurt's mention of naked mini-Kurts. There are images in head of a painting that really should be made now. Too bad Piotr isn't about, really.

Kitty gives Ghost Spider a reassuring look. "Happens to all of us," she says, and is about to say more when Spidey's expresses the testing of his faith in the world.

Shadowcat moves to take a knee beside his seat as she takes his hand in a way that if the others didn't know there was involvement there, they would now. "Because it's the person you are. Because you can't stand by and watch. Because you know what happens when people just stand by when they could have done something," she tells him.

She rests a hand upon his chest over his heart. "And that makes you a great person. And it makes a difference in a lot of people's lives. And even if we don't have people putting up our posters like the Avengers do... there's a lot of people out there who wouldn't be here alive if it weren't for the actions of people like us who care."

Nightcrawler has posed:
Frowning a little in consideration, Kurt looks to the group. "Kitty... I need to get where I won't have any more pressure changes. I'll see you all back at base eh? Make sure he doesn't pop his spider stitches ok?" heading towards the back of the jet to keep his smoke from overwhelming everywhere before he GTFO... To beat a jet back to base. Suck it jet~

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen finishes her sandwich and uses a napkin before peeling her mask back down to cover her full face. "What she said... " she pauses and doesn't say anything quippy. "I appreciate you." she notes to Kitty and then focuses on Peter.

"Seriously though what she said, we help people with our gifts instead of standing by while evil is done. Still that doesn't mean you shouldn't occasionally take some time off, maybe take your girlfriend and go somewhere tropical for a long weekend. I'm positive that myself and the other three spiders could cover for you a little while while you are gone.." see she can be encouraging to her best friend and not just irritated about earlier combat flubs. She has had practice for years being his friend after all.

Spider-Man has posed:
Pete glances Kitty, leaning towards her a little and squeezing the fingers linked in his, "Yeah, I know. I'm just being whiny. As if I've got enough hours in the day for a vacation, right?" His masked forehead presses to the top of her brown hair for just a second, then straightens out to watch Kurt vamenous... "Well, alright. Seeya around, nice doing the things..." Motioning, with a finger, between Gwen and Kitty, "You two should meet when we're not in a multi-million dollar super stealthy secret ninja jet..." To Gwen, who already seems to have pieced together the secret of Peter's girlfriend sitch in Kitty, "This is the one, amirite? You hear that? Just like Uncle Ben would have said.. and she bought me Mets tickets for my birthday, which, for the record... You forgot.." Hand up, the other is still holding Kitty's, "but what are best friends for, right? Even Cindy showed up."

Savage.

"I'll let you call the sandwiches a mulligan, but I'm definitely calling you Spider-Girl for the rest of Sept.. you deserve it."

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen pales under her mask. She does the math and then groans and slumps into her chair there "Fuck.. I can't believe I forgot your birthday... ugn.." she thuds her head into her cushy blackbird chair. "I .. fine Spidergirl all month.... I definitely deserve it... I'm sorry."
