2014.06.09 - MGH: The Big Top

The MGH went underground lower than Arrowette could reach for a while after she was caught along with some other heroes trying to trace down the dealers of it. However, it has recently shown back up. A rave was said to be getting held on Amusement Mile with a dose of MGH with the admittance fee! Most of those that showed are the violent or extreme drug addicts, or it's the youth that are walking the path to darker things.
It is why Arrowette isn't trying to get in under the radar, she wouldn't fit in at all. She moves through the shadows right now toward the lights and loud music, careful to keep her breathing steady. She wishes Hawkeye would check his text messages! She even tried to call him! She could use some backup, as she knows super powers are very, very dangerous indeed. Not even Arsenal was answering. Did S.H.I.E.L.D. need them both for missions at the same time or something? Seriously?
While Arrowette is trying not to cause herself to panic in her own head, she forces herself to take a deep breath and slowly let it out before she begins to move again. She knows it's dangerous, she knows she can die doing this, but she also knows she can't just stand by and risk people dying again.
But...perhaps Arrowette is not as alone as she thinks she is...
The lights and loud music come from a small big top, it perhaps could only fit about a hundred and fifty people within its seating if its seating still existed inside. However, that has long been broken up into bonfire material that is in the center of the ring, and holes in the fabric let wisps of smoke escape. The band playing sounds angry and lacking talent.'
As Green Arrow, Ollie has a person or two he can lean on for a bit of information. He has been trying to hunt down the source of the MGH, but it has been covering its tracks well. Finally, he found someone, a wannabe thug by the name of Turk, that always thought he was a bigger fish than he was. With a little persuasion (okay, he was dangled off a lamppost to be used as a pinata in another gang's territory), Green Arrow has been able to find this Amusement Mile and the ratty looking big top. He sits atop the remains of the roller coaster he can smell the fire coming up through the rips in the tent and the glow of the flame. He watches the youngsters moving towards the tent along with those sketchy looking hard core users.
In another time, he might have been the rich spoiled kid down there. He shakes his head. Today, he has left the hood draped back with the Robin Hood cap on his head. The green domino mask really doesn't do much more than keep glare from his eyes, but it has always worked for him. His bow is slung over his shoulders as he moves to work his way down the scaffolding of the roller coaster with practiced ease.
Hawkeye was on a SHIELD mission at the time Cissie called him. He finally gets back home to cell reception and hears the message. He swears to himself them says, "Well Arrow looks like Daddy has to go out again." The golden retriever gives him a look. Clint respond," Alright I will bring oyu dinner when I get back." He then pauses just long enough to refill his quiver then heads out. He his wearing his dark costume that he uses for spy missions, (the one from the Avengers movie) and his sun glasses. He sneaks into into the park through the food service personal entrance, no one knows the ways into a park like a former carny. He sticks to the shadows as he tries to get eyes on Arrowette.
Arrowette continues moving through the shadows, one to the other, making use of some of the skills that Hawkeye has been working on teaching her and from watching him in the training videos. She's not as quiet or as good as Hawkeye or Green Arrow however, so they might just be able to pick her out! She however is darting to the back of the big top tent and looks for a cut slit in it, there are so many, to shift and try to peek inside.
Fire, bright, and a little blinding. There are people dancing to that horrible music, and one person has grown claws and his gleefully cutting up his girlfriend who is squealing as he does it before her body heels, completely high on the pain. Poor Arrowette gags a bit at that, and tries to keep it quiet! The girl is innocent is so many ways. As her eye scans however, she is seeing varying powers from stone skin to a girl freezing some guy's crouch for hitting on her when she didn't appreciate it. They are uncontrolled, crazy, and powered.
She is soooo screwed....that she is!
Arrowette pulls back and checks her trick arrows once more! She also has a number of regular ones in there, as she knows she may need to hurt some of them to save them. Fire extinguisher on the bonfire be more useful if she had night vision goggles or something! She scowls to herself.
Green Arrow is coming towards the tent from the opposite side than Arrowette so has not seen her yet. He approaches the flank of the tent trying to keep to shadows and letting the green of his costume just be one more dark movement from the flicker of fire inside. He finally makes it to the tent and uses an arrowhead to rip into the tent slowly. He looks inside and is looking at the same things that Arrowette is. He doesn't dwell on the party goers, however, as he tries to see the front entrance. He is trying to locate the men or women at the front handing out the drugs with the entrance fee. He crouches on one knee and slips his bow off of his shoulder. He moves very slowly as he draws an arrow but keeps it down as he is looking for a target.
The tent does seem to be the place ot start looking so Hawkeye starts to head there himself, after all if you are busting a party you are likely to head towards it. He does not notice either of the two archers but his eye do catch some of the movement. Seems they do have a guy walking the tent ot make sure no one sneaks in. The kid is not particularly vigilant and is smoking a joint instead of stand watch at the moment. This is a mistake he will have to learn from, Clint sneaks up on hims and with one sharp blow to the back of the head he slumps over unconscious. He then looks around to make sure he has not been seen and then he too looks inside the tent.
The dealers are at the front entrance, taking hundreds of dollars at a time and handing out the drug. There are bodyguards beside them, they appear dopped up on the drug too, about six of them with the two dealers. Though the dealers and 'non-bodyguard' staff are completely normal and not high at all, or don't appear to be. Why use what you deal? You see what it does to people and it wastes your profit...
The loud music covers up the noise Clint is making, and so we have three archers all on different sides of the tent and none at the entrance. In either case, Cissie pulls out one of her arrows and finishes cutting where the ripped seam is in the tent. The bonfire should be large enough her fire extinguisher arrow shouldn't knock it all out, and it would shock people and hopefully the less aggressive ones would rather hide or run than fight her so she doesn't end up shooting someone that means no harm.
As soon as that slit is in, she parts it and soon takes aim with her fire extinguisher arrow. She then releases. The compressed fire extinguisher hits the bone fire and it bursts from the heat right before impact, spraying all over the bonfire and actually managing to put the gas fueled thing out a quarter of the way! It is a powerful little thing! Though she is already pulling another arrow, a fog alarm, to take out those with heightened senses.
Green Arrow is sitting there looking for the target when the fire extinguisher arrow hits the bonfire. There is a smirk along one corner of his mouth. He always knew a fire extinguisher arrow was a good idea even if others have not believed him. He slips the arrow back into the quiver he is holding and quickly draws another. He puts it to the bow, pulls, and fires in one smooth motion. He is not aiming towards anyone particular, but towards the center of the big top directly above them. As the fire sputters and causes commotion, the Siren Arrow lets out a raucous scream of noise that even gets over the angry music that was blasting. The high pitched shriek reverberates with the band's music. Feedback screams out. Speakers pop and crash with a hiss and crackle.
Thankfully Clint has bad hearing so misses most of the fun of the siren arrow. He then decides to join hte fun since it seems there are some other archers here. He looks for a cluster of folks and uses one of his putty arrows to try and stick them in place then he rips the hole he made bigger and steps through, not longer being stealthy to avoid friendly fire.
The bodyguards heads whip about, and the two drug dealers look nervous! One of them orders three of them to handle the issue!
Still, things are chaotic as accidentally, the trio are working together to split and conqueror! The bodyguards split up, two in one direction and one in the other as they move quickly about the tent.
One has cheetah like coloring and his very fast and predatory. We shall dub him Cheetah-Man!
Another has tough scales and claws and looks like a gator. He shall be dubbed Gator-Man!
The final one is a female, with hair that whips about with razor sharpness. We shall call her, Blade-grrl!
Arrowette had released her fog alarm arrow which only helped increase the noise of Green Arrow's Siren Arrow, and is already reaching for a net arrow to try and get people out of the way! But even as she releases it to capture some of the bystanders, the Cheetah-Man rips it out from mid-air with his quick speed that is picking up the longer he runs, and even as Arrowette rolls into a dodge and pulls another arrow out to shoot, she is soon hit in the chest and knocked back hard and fast, the air knocked out of her as she tries to gasp!
"Whoa there. You must be a Florida Gator fan," Green Arrow says as he sees Gator Man heading in his way. "Always was a bit of an Bama fan myself." He is drawing his bow back when a panicked partiers runs into him. Problem was, this party goer was controlling his density at the time. Green Arrow is hit like a ton of bricks and is knocked clean off his feet. As he falls, the young man goes intangible enough to step through him but begins to just incorporate enough to cause massive pain in Ollie's arm. Swearing that would make Yosemite Sam blush, Green Arrow slaps his hand along the ground, looking for his lost arrow even as Gator Man is coming towards him with gnashing jaws.
Since he was at the back most of the folks are trying to get away from him though one lashing out with an arc of electricity. Clint dives out of the way of that but that puts him right into the path of Blade-girl, she flicks his neck sending hair blades at him he raises his hand to protect his face but that gives him a nasty cut on his forearm, thankfully it is not hte hand that pulls a bow sting. He kicks out at he legs with knocks her back a little allowing him to get back on his feet. "Why is every fight I get in these days like a bad first date." he comments.
And Arrowette is rolling back to her feet even without air. It doesn't matter! And comes back to back to Hawkeye?! "What..," she gasps, and hears him less than happy. She is across the way and misses the cursing in the noise and chaos from Green Arrow. If she did, she would have been beat red! But even as the Cheetah-Man charges at her, this time she blocks him with her bow, a specially designed one from Tony Stark. She will have to send him a thank you note, that powerful and durable bow just saved her life! "You need...to date good girls...Hawkeye." Alright, so it's gasped out, but she has a little snark left in her! Not that she ever has THAT much.
But she then lifts a foot to kick at the exaggerated knee cap of the Cheetah-Man when he tries to snap at her face! He is making a kitty howl or something another in response to the kick and Arrowette does something that may or may not shock the bows, she just head butts the artificial mutant, hard! She wobbles afterwards when the Cheetah-Man drops to his knees, then falls flat on her ass and back when ice suddenly forms at her feet!
The b$#^*y ice girl is apparently very upset that her FUN was interrupted! "Stupid heroes! We are just having some fun!"
The Blade-grrl smirks openly, "Oh, drop your weapons, you might just enjoy it Mr. Black and Purple." Did she just call Hawkeye a bruise?
Gator-Man isn't the talkative type, he's busy trying to bite Green Arrow's arm off, as if he wasn't dealing with enough pain in his arm!
Green Arrow gets the arrow with his flailing hand and shoves it at Gator-Man's mouth, well, more like his snout at the moment. Tear gas erupts from the arrowhead getting Ollie and Gator Fan a face full. This isn't the first time that has ever happened to Ollie, however that is a tale for another day. He is coughing, but still able to bring a leg up and kick Gator Fan in the knee. He is shoving himself backwards with his other leg as he tries to get out of the cloud of Tear Gas even as other panicked partiers trip over him, kicking him in the ribs as they go. "Not my day," he mutters as he is trying to draw another arrow from the quiver.
"Good girls are too smart for that plan." He tells Arrowette then he ducks under another flash of hair, "Easy there, you might hurt your neck. He tries to jump over the next attack of blade girl and doesn't quite make it getting a nice cut on his leg. "Alright top to do what i to best, cheat." he tells blade girl as he tosses one of his arrowheads at her face hoping she falls for the trick and catches it.
The Blade-grrl does fall for it, she does catch the blade even as she moves to whip her hair about again, "That was lame! Now wonder your dates go so bad!" More likely it's going to go back for her!
Arrowette says, "Your party stinks like old men trying to rip you off!"
And there is a click on her wrist and she slaps something onto it. The metal wrist band is raised and with a button pressed...well, the girl that likes to freeze things is suddenly screaming in pain! She has a small metal cross-bone sticking out of her right shoulder the one she was moving her hand about to cause all the ice to form. "Go do something productive with your life!"
Arrowette is moving to roll and slide over the ice and she is coming to her feet even as she kicks Cheetah-man as he is getting up in the face. "Is...is that bad girl enough Hawkeye?" Wait, is she seeking his approval?! He just said good girls were too smart to date him after all!
And that is when she sees that people are panicking over someone on the floor, but not who! "Shoot...." Where did her bow go?! Note to self, don't lose track of her bow!
Gator-Man is coughing and nearly blind with the tears the gas is producing. He staggers this way and that, swinging at air, trying to find Green Arrow. The man, however, has finally managed to get up to his feet. He pulls three arrows and lays them across his bow. "First, I'm going to take your stick." He looks to be pointing at Gator-Man, but suddenly turns and fires. Three party goers are quickly pinned to stakes that are holding up the big top. "Friggin' pains my patookis," he mutters as he pulls and fires once more, now towards Gator-Man. The arrow strikes the man's shoulder at the weak point of the scales allowing his arm to move. The range is close enough that there is enough power in the shot to knock the scaled man back and down in a fit of dirt, tears, and now gator snot.
Blade girl does fall for the oldest trick in the book and catches the trick arrowhead and then it releases a blinding flash. While she is still seeing star-bursts Clint uses his bow like a bat and clocks her one. then Cissie's question distracts him. He responds with the ever eloquent, "Huh?" right before he gets hit with an arc of electricity from one of the party goes and gets frazzled a bit as he drops to his knees.
And this is why Arrowette can't flirt! "Ugh!" She's getting mad now! She then finds her bow and leaps for it, purposely sliding over the ice! The ice girl seems to be leaving her alone as she cries and sobs and screams all very melodramatically over the metal cross-bolt.
Arrowette on the other hand is pulling out an arrow as she gains her feet and shoots a freeze arrow at the guy's chest. Her last one! She needs to talk to Miguel about making more! The ice forms over the electricity MGH drugged fake mutant and he coughs, trying to use electricity to get rid of the ice! But it only cracks it and he falls to his knees, coughing and gasping for air. It won't kill the fake mutant, but it will send his body into shock.
But another arrow is out, a net arrow as she releases it toward more party goers that are causing too much chaos! Least this time she sees the guy that was down to be none other than Green Arrow!
The two drug dealers and their 3 drugged by bodyguards had run for it while the other 3 bodyguards were distracting the heroes! With the remaining drugs and the money! They ran from the small holey Big Top tent and try to stick to the shadows as they move through the old Amusement Mile park to escape.
Green Arrow runs towards the main entrance. If he happens to step on Gator Man as he does so, oh well. He tries to weave through the last of the party goers as most of them have been getting out of the tent now. As he gets to where they were, Green Arrow drops to one knee. While the ground is full of footprints in the dirt, mud, and dust of the old park, most are heading to and from the tent. One group is heading away. He looks and draws an arrow. He aims high and fires in the direction of the group tracks. A magnesium flare goes off as he tries to spot the fleeing bad guys.
Clint turns his head to the electrical drug induced mutant and says, "Bro you tazed me." He hten says, "Two can play at that game and he retaliates with a taser arrow of his own. He then slowly gets to his feet, "So who all ison are side?" he asks Cissie. then he sees Ollie and smile,s "Looks like we got all the back up we could want." He gives the other old archer a nod.
The flare lights the sky up like a symbol, and chases some of the shadows below away. One of the drug dealers yells at their bodyguards. A bodyguard breaks off and starts to head back to the tent area. It's one with flames! Oh, don't you wish for that fire extinguisher arrow now?!
"Flame on baby!" Yes, Flame-Boy just ripped off Johnny Storm. He his totally getting sued!
Inside the tent, Arrowette is soon saying, "Wait, Green Arrow here is a good thing?!" She wants to frail and cry, because Hawkeye is totally NOT looking at her! But she doesn't do either, she instead takes a deep breath and pulls out another arrow and releases a tazer to the ice girl that is still throwing a fit. She goes out with the taser after her body stops spasming. "Geez, I got hit with a grenade and I didn't cry and carry on that much," she grumbles. She then goes to chase after Green Arrow!
Green Arrow sees the other archers as he fires the flare. Hawkeye gets a nod and a tip of the green cap on his head. "Oh for Pete's Sake," he mutters as Flame Boy turns back towards him. "Wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition here." He looks at Arrowette as she comes up behind him. "Figured I would be seeing you again before long." He draws an arrow and aims towards the Flaming Bodyguard. He calls out loudly to the other archers, "Call your shot!"
Clint Barton gets back to his feet and follows them out of the tent, "Over his shoulder then the back of his head." he then grins and uses one of his favorites the boomerang arrow to make that called shot though if his fire is hot enough the arrow just may not make it.
A male voice continues part of a conversation, "... so then she just flat out runs away, and believe me when I say that girl's got some legs on her. I've never seen a reaction like that in my life." There are some mumbled noises that are altogether indiscernible. And then they turn the corner, coming into view. Spider-Man webslings back towards the tent, carrying a hogtied, well, hog. This poor soul seems to have turned into some kind of anthropomorphic wild boar, complete with tusks. "Thanks for listening there. I know you didn't have a choice, being tied up and gagged, but I still want you to know that I appreciate your interest." Setting him down near the tent, he takes it all in, wondering just what the devil is going on. "Now, you be good while Uncle Spidey deals with the bad drug dealers."
"Nice, boomerang arrow," Arrowette breathes. She then pulls an arrow out of the quiver, "Crotch shot, fire extinguisher." A pause, then, "He's not my type." She always does seem to get a harder edge around Green Arrow, but then again he is likely the only one that Arrowette feels like she has so much to prove to. She notches her arrow and pulls it back. She then releases it. And yep, that is totally what Spider-Man swings into. and Arrowette's jaw drops. Awkward moment? Yes.
But she recovers quickly, and points out past the flame guy, "Two MGH users and two drug dealers!" It's a nice way of saying FETCH!
"Bolo at his boots which look fire resistant to me." Green Arrow pauses, gives a wink at the others as if a signal to fire, and looses the arrow. The bolo quickly explodes outward, spinning towards the flaming man's feet.
The Spider gets a tip of the cap once the arrow is shot.
Clint Barton says, "Well scratch one Johnny Storm wanna be." he grins as all three archers hit their mark the hten looks over at Spidey, "Hey there, new outfit?" he asks of course we was also wearing a different outfit when he and the other Spider-man took out the Rhino."
There is a yelp and a cry as the flame-man gets a fire extinguisher arrow in his couch! This makes him loose concentration and his flames - what the arrow didn't put out - and he leans forward a bit to grab himself painfully. Then WACK! In the back of the head! And even as he goes to fall, there is a wrap about his boots so he can't even try to balance himself as he gets dizzy and face plants, already half tied up! Nice team work!
Miguel O'Hara drops down, doing what looks like a limbo, letting the arrow sail past him. Then he gets back up, "Nice to see you too, Arrowette." Turning to the side so he can regard the anthropomorphic wild boar, "That's who I was telling you about." Then back to the fight, he leaps up, swinging for one of the tent poles, going around it and landing near the top, "What's this world coming too, I can't even walk into a mutagenic rave without getting shot at." He begins firing weblines, trying to direct the mutant traffic away from the nice unmodified humans, and helping out the archers, "Green Arrow, Arrowette, Hawkeye, did I miss a memo about an archery convention?" Letting go of the tent pole, he leaps back down, dodging an arrow in mid-flight, "Watch it there, you almost hit me that time!"
"Wrong direction! Ugh!" Arrowette is not happy with Miguel! "Boys...," which means Arrowette isn't too happy with right now with the male gender as a whole! She even glares at Hawkeye for being so clueless! But she then takes off running toward the running drug guys that were past the flame-man! Yes, she gets very PMS around Green Arrow! Hawkeye would definitely know something isn't right to put Arrowette on edge so badly. But the girl does prove to be an athlete as she runs full force, and net arrow already in hand as she works to get eye contact with the runaways! But....no promises she will actually catch up!
The normal humans are mostly some support staff that was handling the music, and people still waiting to get inside, that have scattered when things got crazy and super powered high people got loosened in their midst when they ran from the Big Top tent. Though Spider-Man II was straightening that out somewhat!
"Nice shot," Green Arrow says to Hawkeye, but then sees Arrowette run off. "Actually, we were all on our way to a Ren Fair. And we are late. And she," he gestures towards the running lady archer, "Has the tickets. Pardon me for a moment," he says to the spider. He slings his bow over his shoulder and takes off after Arrowette trying to help with the capture. Granted, he is a tad older although he won't admit it, and doesn't quite run as fast as the youngster.
Clint Barton looks over to Spidey, "Well I heard they were using a park and well that got my inner carny mad." he jokes hten he shakes his head, "Why run when oyu cna arrow." he hten sends a net arrow arching high int othe air, "I mean that is what they do ranged stuff." he teases the other archers just a bit.
Spider-Man says, "Wrong Direction? Just what kind of music are they playing at this place?" A few more web lines are shot out, two at opposing angles, to stop one of the mutated party goes. He takes a moment to chat with Green Arrow in the middle of the fight, "A renaissance fair? I've never been to one of those. I mean, mayhap I accompany thee to to thou faire renaissance?" Of course, it's made all the more amusing as Spider-Man leaps up, doing the splits in mid air, knocking out two party goers, as he asks if he can tag along. Then, to Hawkeye, he says, "You might have me confused with one of the other Spider-Man. We now come in a baker's dozen. Get one with every car wash, which surprised the hell out of me. I mean, who drives in New York anyway?"
Green Arrow didn't fall too far behind though! And that makes it worse, only if he wasn't in as good of shape! Because just as Hawkeye shoots that arrow up into the air to try and catch the fleeing two druggies and their remaining two MGH user bodyguards in the far, far distance, the arrow suddenly disappears!
When it re-appears, it is right at Green Arrow's back! It gets set off, catching not only him, but also Arrowette!
The two get slammed a bit together as the heavy ends of the netting get wrapped about them, and Arrowette grunts at the impact! She wears a horrified expression, that hopefully Green arrow can't see as her back is semi to him. She is not sniffering! She isn't!
One of the two remaining bodyguards of the two dealers must have a temp mutant ability to teleport objects! And they are getting away!
Green Arrow is pulling an arrow out to fire when the net arrow goes off. He oofs as he is slammed into Arrowette and wrapped in the net. "So this is how that feels," he mutters. He shakes his head as he works to get an arrowhead out and try to get the net off the two of them. "No one better have YouTube going," he calls back towards Hawk and Spidey.
Clint just blinks stunned, "He stole my arrow, no one steals my arrows." that is a sure way to piss off an archer so Clint takes off running, "Hey Spidey you as quick as the other one?" he asks as he points in the targets.
Spider-Man is never in one place for very long, running along the ground, leaping into the air, swinging from the tent poles, onto bleachers, he's everywhere and anywhere, so when he hears two of the archers collide, he turns to figure out what's going on. He does a somersault, extending his claws on both hands, and comes to a stop near the net, "Careful now," he says as he swipes at the net in one fluid motion, trying to cut the net and free his colleagues, "Let me help you two out, though you do make a cute couple, in that Hugh Hefner sort of way."
Arrowette will -not- cry at being horrified by this! Green Arrow actually cracking a joke helps with that. If he had made a snarky comment about being stuck with the girl he told to quit, oh boy! But he didn't, he...was actually kinda nice about it.
However, poor Spider-Man? Arrowette grabs three arrows and shoves them at Spider-Man II. She bites off, "The red feathers are two tazer arrows, other one is a fast glue arrow. Ignore us, go -quickly- to get the two drug dealers and the remaining two bodyguards. I know you can do it. Now go!" And she points off in the direction she is sending Spider-Man II. "Go, go, go!" Like he's some athlete that needs a pep talk to get motivated! Like Arrowette has to be his coach and give him direction!
Green Arrow uses the cuts made by Spidey the Sequel to get the rest of the way out of the net. "Like the lady said. Fly, my pretties." He tugs on the vest to try and regain some amount of dignity after being caught up in another archer's arrow. He looks about and collects his bow from where he had dropped it after slamming into Arrowette.
Clint Barton catches up to were Green Arrow and Arrowette are and shakes his head, "Sorry guys they teleported my arrow." he still sounds miffed about it. "You two alright?" he asks.
Spider-Man is handed, well, shoved three arrows. "Red is fast glue, white is tazer, got it." He deliberately fumbles what she said, taking them and heading after the drug dealers and the bodyguards. "Now, how do I do this? Oh yeah, pointy end goes into the bad guys." He tries to hurl one of the arrows, as if it were a javelin, at one of the bodyguards, missing, but that's to be expected, it was his first throw. "Okay, new plan." He ducks and dodges as a chair is hurled at him by one of the MGH-using bodyguards, "Watch it, you almost hit me? You could've put my eye out with that!" Breaking one of the arrows, he hurls another tazer arrow at a body guard, which attaches to the guy's chest, sending thousands of volts through his system. The shadows on the tent wall are particularly amusing as the baboon-like man screams out in pain before collapsing. "Cool Arrow, I've got to get me some of these." And next, he tosses the third arrow above the two drug dealers who are hiding behind bleacher. One of them yells out, "You missed!" But then Spidey shoots a webline, hitting the arrowhead, setting off the glue, which explodes in a puff of squirty adhesive, coating the two drug dealers, and keeping them right where they are.
Arrowete face palms as Spider-Man leaves, getting them BACKWARDS! 2 reds, they are tazers, the other is glue! Any other time, she would be patient or giggling, but not tonight! "Do I speak English?" She is still sitting on the ground, wanting it to open up and swallow her. "Hawkeye, you are not the one I want to shake right now, I promise." Though she does sigh, sounding exhausted and reaches a hand up instinctively as if to silently ask for Hawkeye's help in getting to her feet. A lady-like motion. Arrowette doesn't even realize she is doing it, though she normally is very independent to just get up herself when she is physically able to.
The strong guy is down, that leaves the teleporter still about! And that is the bonus of short-ranged fast attacks vs. slow long-ranged attacks like Hawkeye tried. The teleporter could see the long-ranged attack coming in, but not the short-ranged in time to use his powers! But he runs over to a cotton candy stand and grunts as he pushes it over! While it starts to fall, he teleports it above Spider-Man II's head! Well...that was creative, talk about an improvised weapon!
"Yeah, we are fine. Just hurt our dignity more than anything else." Green Arrow is watching the confrontation with Spidey and the Goons. "Cotton Candy, 12 o'clock!" he yells from the peanut gallery trying to help.
Clint Barton looks at he teleporter, "You know that guy will be a pain, I am glad he can't do that for reals." he does help Arrowette up, "Alright Team Archer on three, lets go." He then heads after the lone remaining active villain.
"Do we have to?!" Did Arrowette just whine at Hawkeye? Yes she did, a little. But she picks up her bow and she then grabs Green Arrow's sleeve too, "You gotta too." She's not going to help Spider-Man alone, he might think she likes him for his abs or something! But she then lets go of Green Arrow and starts to go after Clint. "You know, if we shoot long distance, we are just going to get hit with our own arrows...."
With the drug dealers dealt with, and the muscle-bound bodyguard, Spider-Man looks for the other one, "Funny, I could swear he was here a moment ago." But then, he teleports about, and it dans on Spider-Man what he's dealing with. Just then, Spider-Man notices, "Where did the shad..." and before he can even complete that sentence, he's diving, rolling to avoid the cotton candy machine that just materialized above his head. After he comes to a stop, Spider-Man gets up and dusts himself off, "Okay, now that wasn't very nice." He reaches for his mask, pulling it up and grabbing some of the cotton candy, "Good cotton candy, though." And with the pink stuff between his teeth, he shoots off a webline, then another, and another, he's creating a giant-sized Spiderweb, with him at the middle. When it tugs, he goes, launching an attack at the teleporter, only to see him teleport somewhere else. When that fails, Spider-Man shoots his webbing towards the tazer arrow that missed and never went off. "Archers, you folks don't have any heart conditions, right?" And before they can reply, spider-man sets off the unused tazer arrow, using his web as a conductor to get the teleporter as well as anyone else still in the room. He leaps up to avoid getting electrocuted, and he manages to save Arrowette the ordeal too thanks to a tarzan-like swing.
And as Arrowette was about to finish her sentence with Hawkeye, she gets snatched up by Miguel and then PUNCH! With specially enforced bow, to poor Spider-Man II's face! Arrowette then gasps, "Oh, I'm sorry!" She actually sounds apologetically! "I just got grabbed and...I'm sorry! Are you alright?" She just punched Spider-Man too for making sure she was away from the webbing! Of course she's going to apologize!
Clint Barton gets shocked again this time he falls to the ground, "Alright this is not my night shocked again and I have already used the, you tased me bro' line. He then loosk over at he bodyguard, "Please be unconscious.' he adds.
"Owe," Spider-Man intones as he gets punched with a specially reinforced bow, "Alright, I know it's not the most modern of things to do, but I knew I could only save one of you from getting shocked, and I figured you were the lightest, so the shock would have the most affect to your system. Next time, I save one of the other guys, I get it." Setting her down once the tazer arrow has run its course, he heads over to Hawkeye, "You all right, Pal?"
Green Arrow lights up the air with his language again, and manages to get back up.
Luckily, the teleporter is down! High on drugs tazers either makes you highly resistant or susceptible...and as people noticed with other cases, these are susceptible.
That leaves Green Arrow to handle some clean up and thankful people were too high to use their cameras for youtube.
Arrowette on the other hand is just as happy no one is using cameras for youtube! And she's alright with totally not talking in a social manner with Green Arrow right now, but he really wasn't a jerk like before so...she will think on it later! Right now, she has to deal with the fact that Hawkeye got tazed again and she's in the arms with another man whom she punched. "I....I said sorry....and ummm...can you let me down now?" And she's blushing.
Though she goes to wiggle out of Spider-Man's arms when he does finally put her down and runs over to Hawkeye. "You alright?" She sounds really concerned, reaching out to touch his right arm lightly.
Right arm, jump that is the one cut up earlier and he wince, "Ow easy on the old man." Granted he is not as old as Ollie but he still calls himself that. he then nods, "Yeah I will be fine." and hten he stands up and does his part for the environment he recycles the joke, "Bro, you tased me. Why'd you tase me, Bro?"
Spider-Man helps Hawkeye up, "It was you or Arrowette. I made a call. No offence." Wow, honesty and no jokes, that's weird coming from Spider-Man, any Spider-Man. "And it's okay Arrowette. I don't think you could hurt me if you tried really, really hard. Sometimes it's nice having the proportionate strength of a Spider." Then he heads over to Ollie, curious how the real old man is doing, "And how are you doing, Arrow? You all right?"
Arrowette winces when her glove comes away with a bit of blood. "We..have to get that taken care of. I have some...supplies on me Hawkeye." And then he jokes and jokes....she just shakes her head at first. When she finally speaks again she says, "First, you aren't old," this is stated firmly. "I should know, no old man can move beautifully like you can. And two...really? You just -had- to reuse that joke?" She sighs at Hawkeye. But she then says more seriously, "Want to find a place to sit so I can get a look at your arm?" She's protective of Clint, fretting and worrying over him.
Though something Spider-Man II says, has Arrowette glancing over at him briefly, "And thank you, for saving me from getting tased."
Clint Barton sighs, "Alright alright.' he gives in ot he pressure ot get his arm looked at then he says, "Well I thought we were supposed to recycle." He then sits down someplace not webbed and extends his arm. the cut is long and nasty looking but not deep.
Spider-Man tends to Green Arrow, helping the oldest archer, before heading back over to Arrowette and Hawkeye, "He's totally faking it. I know your game, Hawkeye. All this to get the attention of a pretty girl. Can't say I blame you, I'd be right there with you if I had gotten hit. Well, besides being hit by Arrowette. What's up with that? You got a thing against bugs? First you're telling me you're going to shoot me, then you actually do try and shoot me, and then when I save you from getting electrocuted, you hit me. I'm not being punked, am I?"
Arrowette pulls out her first aid kit with flesh-healing serum that is designed by Stark Industries. She tends to Clint's arm carefully, making sure to properly disinfect it. An archer's arms and hands are very, very important. She is soon blushing though at the mention of Clint doing this to get the attention of a pretty girl and that girl being her. But soon she's rolling her eyes as Spider-Man keeps rambling on and on. She doesn't really answer right now, more concentrating on what she is doing. She gets the flesh-healing serum on and says, "Give it about thirty seconds to try," as if Clint hasn't used this stuff before. And she totally didn't take forever and a day to patch up Clint as an excuse to touch him, not at all! Well, maybe a little. Arrowette then packs it away.
"You can be creepy," she finally says to Spider-Man. "I know you are a hero, you can just say...weird things sometimes, alright? I'm not used to people doing that, it freaks me out. I don't mean to be mean, I just get uncomfortable sometimes. So...I'll try, and perhaps you could maybe, welll...," Arrowette doesn't know how to say it without hurting Spider-Man's feelings more than she had to, and...she sighs, "Never mind." She can't say it without doing it, and she's too nice! So she doesn't say it.
Clint Barton holds his arms still to let the serum do its job, he looks over to Spidey, "Nah just had to deal with a lady with blades for hair." he then says, "It was less fun then it sound like." thier is also a cut on his leg but look shallow as well. He then adds, "Thanks for the assist with out you the top guys would have gotten away." he admits.
Arrowette grumbles beneath her breath, "You could at least admit I'm pretty." But she then sighs very quietly. "You going to be alright?" And she notices the wound on Clint's leg and face palms. "Need me to bandage up the other wound? You could have told me it was there until waiting for me to look down you know," and she sighs again.
Spider-Man places his hand to his chest, "Moi, creepy?" He seems genuinely shocked, "Well, I never," and he turns around, feigning indignity for dramatic effect, but then turns back to see her and Hawkeye, "I am what I am, and I do what I do, and I think what I think, and I have no idea where I'm going with this, but yeah, I am a bit weird. I think it's the costume. I'm free to say everything on my mind, to do whatever I want, it's liberating. Normally I have so much bottled inside, trying to play the cool dude, or girl, I totally could be a girl, I mean, sure, I don't have breasts, but it could all be a clever disguise." But as Hawkeye changes the subject to something a little more rational, Spidey salutes, "All in a days work. We should work out a signal. I wonder if J. Jonah Jameson would spring for a Spider Signal, something to light up the New York sky when Spider-Man is needed? Nah, too campy."
Arrowette groans as Spider-Man rambles. And she thought her rambling was bad!
Clint Barton stand up and says, "Nah I am fine, legs ccan heal over time less important in our work then arms. "he then looks to Arrowette, "You are petty and well you should know that with out anyone having to say so."
Spider-Man concurs, "Yeah, I don't know why you ever got it in your head that you're not. You are pretty. You're athletic. You're a hero. You're great. Sure, you don't like Spiders, and that's cool, no everyone digs the arachnid, but you should have confidence in yourself Arrowette. And that comes from a guy who's too scared to show even his chin, except when I'm eating cotton candy, or showing off my abs, or okay, so I do show some skin, but that's not normal for me."
Arrowette didn't mean to be overheard! Yep, she blush BEAT RED! But she's grinning like a fool, happily so. She doesn't dare say a word! She would make more of a fool of herself! Even if she is a happy fool right now!
And when Spider-Man II starts talking about his abs, Arrowette actually leaps forward and covers his mouth with her hand. She goes, "Shhhh....ruining my happy moment." Her free hand having a finger to her lips as she shhhes. Hawkeye just called her pretttttty!
Clint Barton points to Spidey, "See he said it better then I did." he then stands and while Arrowette is distracted he wraps a bandage around his leg, "Alright good as new." he says to himself.
Spider-Man can feel Arrowette's hand through his mask, and it's surprisingly soft, he would have figured an archer's fingers would be coarse. She must moisturize. "Oh, sorry, I do that." He really does, but he keeps quiet, letting the lovebirds have their moment. "So, how long have you two been dating?"
"Oh, that's great Hawk...," and then...Spider-Man II opens his mouth. And Arrowette? She stares at him a moment, and then looks horrified at Spider-Man....what if Hawkeye says violently that no way would he be dating her?! What he's like 'She's just a kid?!' So she blurts out the first thing that comes to mind! "That isn't any of your business!" And then goes running!
Yep...Arrowette goes running from Spider-Man II the second time in a single day.
Arrowette will go find a brown paper bag and breath heavily into it as she works not to have a panic attack thank you very much! Spider-Man II is a jerk!
Clint Barton looks over to Spider-man and shakes his head, "Dude we have never dated, we just work together I am helping her with the archery." He seems confused how the matter even comes up and then he sighs, "My reputation as a ladies man is over blown."
Spider-Man says, "This is the second time today I've seen that girl run away from me. I really need to switch my cologne." He watches her run for a bit, since he has pretty amazing eyesight, then turns to Clint, "Ladies man? That must be nice. As you can see from exhibit A," and he gestures to the still running Arrowette, "I'm anything but, and I barely even know her."
Clint Barton looks to Spiderman, "go apologize." he says, "Doesn't matter if you are not sure way, just say you are sorry and let her vent there is nothing that will help more." He then says, "But now I have got to get headed home before all the pizza joints close.' he then starts to head towards where he stashed his car.
Spider-Man shakes his head in disbelief, "All right, Obi-Wan, wait, does that mean I'm a weird kid with phenomenal powers, or a an angsty 20-something with the emotional range of a tuning fork?" Ether way, he shoots off a web line and heads after Arrowette to apologize for being Spider-Man, or whatever it is he's guilty of.
