Havok. He was named that because his power has that effect -- and he tries hard not to live up to the name. He tries to always stay in control.

Somehow hearing The Devil of Hell's Kitchen...and shooting him a quick glance from a kneeling stance...Alexander Summers knows what he has to do. Slowly he stands, still in control...but quickly losing his patience.

Sorry, Cap.

She-Hulk bashes the cars mightily into the massive crowd of Doombots, toppling a number of them, including taking off more of the lead's shell, leaving it mostly as exposed wires, yet still standing, but as they recover and turn to the Avenger and her companion, the effort seems to have came to nothing at all, such is the sheer, astounding number of robots assembled, now focusing their red, glowing eyes on the heroes.

The blast rips from Havok's hands into the crowd of Doombots in the sky, tearing into many of them and sending broken parts crashing to the ground. One of the groups nearest to the heroes is eliminated but beyond those husks now left mangled on the asphalt there seems to be no discernible difference in their number. They still chatter -- "ELIMINATE. ELIMINATE. ELIMINATE" -- and continue to marshal their forces to bring their forces down on the heroes.

YJ shrunk down decides to attempt to simple make his way to the others. He is hoping that if he can reach the others and shrink them down they might end this without any civilians dying in the cross fire.

"I have had enough of this crap!"  Iron Fist says under his breath as he stares daggers at the lowest-flying doombot hovering over himself, Daredevil, and Havok blasting away at its leisure.

the green and yellow-clad martial artist charges at the wall nearest to one of the automatons.  He leaps, bounds off the wall, and redirects his momentum upwards and latches onto one of the bots like an angry monkey.  He will then grab the arm of the robot and point it at another robot, using its own hand-blaster as a long-range weapon.




Iron Fist has 1 Plot Point

In a blur, Iron Fist bounds up the side of the building and on to a lone Doombot hovering too low, wrenching the android's hand, crackling with energy. At this intimate range, the Doombot sputters, stopping not because it has no defenses to this very close attack but pausing to recalculate its options.

Bulldozer stands bolt upright, stretching his arms and flexing his muscles toward the sky as he is pelted but unmoved by force blasts from the Doombots. "What're you doin'?" he calls, presumably to his teammates though he faces the sky. "It's time to do some wreckin'!" he says, as the city block is obliterated around him.

Grandstanding:+d8 to Doom Pool

Doom Pool: d8, 6d10, d12 +d8 = 2d8, 6d10, d12

Next Action: Doombots

The Doombots continue to swarm, blasting away, toward the heroes but as there are so many of them, they crowd in front of each other, throwing off their aim, with shots going wild and tearing apart nearby buildings and what is left of the street. Even though they do not have any precision to their attacks, the random blasts only add to the jeopardy in the intersection and this part of the city. The Doombots chant "ELIMINATE. ELIMINATE. ELIMINATE" as if it gives them any direction in the chaos. The lead android was torn apart by Havok still hovers, with armor and wires hanging from it, its voice modulation mostly static, but energy still crackling from its hands.

Grandstanding:+2d8 to Doom Pool from Doombot XZ-6UNR840 and Doombots S/C

Doom Pool: 2d8, 6d10, d12 +2d8 = 4d8, 6d10, d12

Next Action: Wrecking Crew

The Wrecking Crew continue to effortlessly heave chunks of pavement into the sky at the Doombots, also digging into sections of the nearby building under construction. Piledriver lifts up a crane like it was paper and tosses it at the nearest cluster of robots, missing all of them completely but planting the construction equipment on the roof of the building that Daredevil and Iron Fist bounded from to enter the fray.

"Why don't you join in, 'Dozer?" Thunderball says, though does not slow from his own efforts to either destroy the Doombots or tear up the city.

The Wrecker pauses and looks across the intersection in the direction of the prone Invisible Woman. "Int' someone gonna help that lady?"

Grandstanding:+d10 to Doom Pool from Wrecker, +2d8 to Doom Pool from Thunderball and Piledriver

Doom Pool: 4d8, 6d10, d12 +d10 +2d8 = 6d8, 7d10, d12

The flying figure bouncing between exploding Doombots draws closer to the intersection that is ground-zero for this conflict, ping-ponging between opponents but not seeming to make a dent in their number.  By the time it is clear who it is, he has already flown near the cluster of heroes and, with the grace of his namesake, alighted on the ground.  He rises from a landing crouch to his full height, keeping an alert posture as the Doombots hover and fire force blasts around him.

“We can’t take out enough of these to do any good. We need to cut them off at the source." He looks around as if trying to find something in the rampant disorder. "The Latverian embassy is near here.  That has to be the place." He looks back to the heroes as he ably dodges a force-blast. "Who needs a lift?”

First to post as going to the Embassy may use Falcon’s Subsonic Flight d8 in their dice pool.

Next Action: Whoever intends to attempt to go to the embassy

Logan backed up from the seemingless endless horde of the deadly robots. He might...might...be able to fight his way out. He had considered an escape route. He was not an Avenger after  all. He did not save cats out of trees...or whatever it was that they did after fighting off alien invasions. Hell, most government backed agencies on earth ether wanted Logan to work for him, and then kill him somehow. Granted he did not want to see anyone in the city dead-but was Doom just hurling these things at opponents that did not have the sense to run or die?

He looked over, and knew why he was sticking around. Jen. She was not going to run away-even if she had been able to. Given what bad shape she was in, she could take one or two more serious hits before she went down. Then, he was not sure the robots where programmed to stop.

Logan made sure to back up against Jen. "Jen! We gotta go! They got some sorta robot factory down there! I am getting us out of here!" He only hoped she would listen...

Iron Fist wrestles the robotic arm of the murderous automaton to point it at its Doombot brethren.

Calling upon his power of the Iron Fist to boost his strength to overpower the robot's strength while also keeping his grip on the robot.


Iron Fist has one plot point

Dice Pool:
Team: d6, Obliterated City Streets: d4 (+1 Plot Point), Enhanced Strength: d8->10, Combat Master: d10, Doombot's hand blaster: d8

09:34, Today: Iron Fist rolled 2,2,4,6,6 using d6,d4,d8,d10,d10 with rolls of 2,2,4,6,6.  Wrestling Doombot's hand blaster to shoot at another target.

Iron Fist will spend one plot point to add to the total.

Total: 16, Effect: d6

Iron Fist has one Plot Point.

It is Daredevil's turn.

OOC: really really sorry folks life has been kicking me while I'm down.

YJ doesn't have much to lend but if someone wants they can have his flight d6 or reflexes d8 to their rolls as he's flitting about and might take the hit instead of them.

The lead Doombot advances, its slow pace and the energy dancing around its hands being its only movement.  The robots have either stopped their chattering or the noise around them has drowned out the sound.  Either way, they are eerily silent as they move toward their next objective. Somehow, the silence is even more ominous than their chanting.

Grandstanding:+d8 to Doom Pool

Doom Pool: 6d8, 7d10, d12 +d8 = 7d8, 7d10, d12

Next Action: Doombots E/C (new round for that group)

As She-Hulk pauses in a daze, the Doombots also stop, just before a gathering number of robots in front of her surge forth, no longer trying to get through her toughness with their blasters but attempting to overtake her with their numbers, piling on with a number enough to drag her down and immobilize her.

Reaction Needed: She-Hulk

While the Doombots swarm over She-Hulk, another contingent of them surround Wolverine, leaving him little space to escape and just enough to move.  The deadly force-blast energy shimmers around their hands but they do not move.  With the ground shifting below the heroes as their opponents blast the environment, Wolverine’s battle-ready stance is challenged.

Doom Pool (3d8, 7d10, d12) action to remove Wolverine's Fighting Stance Asset:

Watcher rolled 5,6,2,10,9,8,9,8,4,2,11 using d8,d8,d8,d10,d10,d10,d10,d10,d10,d10,d12 ((5,6,2,10,9,8,9,8,4,2,11)).

Reaction: Wolverine

In reply to Watcher (msg # 227):

Logan feels the ground shift, and he sinks his claws into the concrete, gritting his teeth and trying to ride out the tremor with his inhuman constitution. Not to mention his fighting style itself trying to maintain its balance...

17:09, Today: Wolverine rolled 5 using 1d12 with rolls of 5.  Asset roll.

2 Opportunities (available first to Iron Fist)

Attack fails

Hanging off the Doombot hovering above the wrecked ground, Iron Fist manages to get the hang of the robot's blaster and zaps away, managing to zing a few of them, but the strike ultimately gets lost among their staggering number. However, now that he is closer to the mob of androids in the sky, and as he has attached himself to one of their number, a squad of Doombots turn to the hero. The question of whether they would sacrifice one of their own to eliminate an enemy shall be answered within a heartbeat's time.

Yellowjacket’s Flight d6 or Enhanced Reflexes d8 available (either, once) to embassy team in an action (not reaction) until his next turn.

Next Action: She-Hulk

The Falcon looks around as his trusted sidekick, Redwing, flutters near him, ducking stray force-blasts.  “If these are coming from the embassy, that’s got to be the place to stop them,” he says over the din. As he narrowly avoids a number of blasts, his voice becomes gruff: "If there's a leader here, they need to lead!"

Falcon’s Sub-Sonic Flight d8 available to use in an action.

She-hulk has been taking hit after hit. As the Doombots mob her, she manages to punch one, then shove one aside, then step on one. But then that one grabs her leg and impedes her movement as an other jumps onto her back. She tries to swing it off, but everytime she deflects one, two more jump on. Soon, she goes down on one knee, then two, as they continue to pile on. Then she's covered in enough that she can no longer be seen. Still they pile on. Soon she's buried under a mass of them that reaches over twenty feet high.

Iron Fist will spend a plot point to activate the opportunity the Watcher rolled to prevent Heart of Shou Lao from shutting down (since his action failed).  Iron Fist has 0 Plot Points.

Danny screams to Falcon at the top of his lungs (since SHIELD didn't see fit to outfit them with communicators):
