Wolverine recovered from the blast with no harm, but he was outside. However, the broken window allowed full sounds and scents to flow from the inside of the building to where he was. He did not need to see Jen to know where she was. He could even hear the slight buzzing that was most likely Yellowjacket himself.

He was not too worried about the shrunken hero-as no doubt he could escape if need be. Plus, Jen made the man sound almost as bad as Vicki himself. Almost.

Unlike Yellowjacket. Jen was not in shape to get out on her own. He needed to get her out of there, and fast. Which meant he had to make an opening for her.

"Good thing I always bring my keys..." He snarls-runs to where Jen approximately is, and proceeded to attack the structure separating her from him. Needless to say, his combat prowess added to his unbreakable claws go a long way when attacking a large unmoving section of wall...

She-hulk continues to lean into and against the Doombot's blast, biding her time until she got an opening and hoping to minimize how deeply the thing pushed her into the embassy. Her fingers gouge 10, inch-deep lines into the granite floor of the embassy as she attempts to hold on against the force beam.

"Any. Time. Now." she grunts out, unclear who she is talking to.

Asset created
It's obvious now but in the future, be sure to note when Asset is available to everyone.

Even though She-Hulk is on the second floor of the building, Wolverine is able to rend a sizable hole in the wall mere feet away from where she is. But an escape would still take effort, as the Doombots are close enough to intrude between her and this new exit.

She-Hulk holds her own now but that edge could flip at any moment.

Meanwhile, nearby in the street, the heroes scatter but the Invisible Woman holds her ground, presumably creating constructs of transparent energy around her. As she focuses her attention skyward toward the Doombots, however, the ground below her bucks and while it does not cave in completely, it disrupts her stance and her control falters. A hunk of concrete comes from its point of origin and toward her, randomly avoiding her shields and striking her, drawing blood from the side of her head. She falters for the moment but recovers to jump away from the area of street collapsing below her.

The lead Doombot tracks Daredevil and Iron Fist as they clamber up the buildings. Its head moves slowly up and down and side to side, following an average between their respective and changing positions.  Just as either of them pause, to regroup for an instant before leaping to the next fire outcropping, it raises its hands and the energy around them goes from crackling to exploding outward. Its ever-hollow voice seems to gain in volume: "ELIMINATE THREATS TO LATVERIA."

The inevitable happens, and Matt is prepared for the Doombots to unleash their barrage.  Danny following, however, is not an eventuality that Daredevil anticipated, and the instinctive glances that he shoots toward Iron Fist, and then the others, nearly help the Doombot catch Matt in an errant blast.  As it is, however, the Man Without Fear is able to continue his acrobatic exhibition atop the fire escapes of New York with only the slightest of singes.

If the Wrecker is angered by Thunderball's initiative that started this fracas with the Doombots, he does not show it. The three men stand stunned for the moment watching the Doombots rain energy bolts and missiles on the city block around them but then at once they move into action. They seem to brush the attacks aside but their swift action shows an urgency that goes just beyond concern for physical damage.

The Wrecker reaches into the ground below and scoops up chunks of concrete is if they were soft clay. "If there ain't no sidewalk -- "

"'If there is no sidewalk,'" Thunderball corrects.

" -- Then we can't get nothin' to keep standin' on it anyways."

Thunderball starts but then sighs instead.

Nonetheless, Thunderball and Piledriver follow their leader, picking up monstrous slabs of concrete and asphalt and hurl them, almost with accuracy, at the sky full of robotic foes. Every few moments the debris connects with a Doombot and it explodes, disused mechanic parts crashing in flaming chunks to the ground. Ba-CRASH! With the sheer number of Doombots filling the sky above the intersection, the Wrecking Crew's efforts seem to make little difference, save for producing more debris to fall from the sky. Ba-CRASH!

Bulldozer continues to struggle against his entrapment. "Sass-a-frass-a-frass-a-sass," he grumbles to himself as the line alludes him, though his feet finally emerge from the asphalt as the street falls apart around him and anyone on or near it.

Just then a sound rings out, even over the clamor in the intersection. Around the corner on the other side of the conflict comes a scream. A woman is inside a car, still there even after the area was cleared of bystanders, and if she could have gotten out before, she is trapped now. The energy strikes from the Doombots above have pelted the area around her, churning the ground and upending the cars in the street to mash into each other, now with the lady's car at the center. The woman claws at the windsheild as she screams, pinned into a car that is slowly being crushed around her. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"No no nonononono..." Daredevil hisses through gritted teeth as he nearly breaks his arm using a fire escape guardrail to change momentum and direction in mid-backflip.  Without missing another beat, however, the Devil of Hell's Kitchen has abandoned his escape plan and rebounded off of the nearest building facade to bring him almost impossibly close to where the woman remains trapped in her car.  Daring only to remain in one spot for as long as it may take, Matt heaves with all his strength against the debris keeping the innocent woman pinned.

Daredevil hops down to help the screaming woman, attempting to move the debris, and while he can inch it along, it still holds enough to block an exit for her. She gapes at him, eyes bugging, her mouth wide in terror, as if begging him with her scream to get her out, recognizing the only thing that could be escaping is her life. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Doom Pool: 6d8, d10 +d6 = d6, 6d8, d10

She-hulk sees the hole that Wolverine has made for her and knows when it's time to get the hell out of Dodge. She turns and lunges for the hole, powerful leg muscles practically sending her flying. Her body is much larger than Wolverine's so she holds up her arms to shield her head as she smashes a little extra wall out on either side of the hole. "Coming through!" she announces.

Using more muscles in her legs than in her arms, She-Hulk vaults over the crowd of Doombots gathered around her and toward the gaping hole that Wolverine has created. The top of her head glances off the ceiling then, in her lingering dizziness, nearly smashes into the adjacent wall, but manages to eek out an escape through the exit, to the street outside where Wolverine is ready for action, claws bared.

There are enough Doombots assembled to be divided and not lose power through quantity. Half of them follow She-Hulk as she leaves the building and also bring their concentration to Wolverine as she meets up with the mutant again, with the other half turning their attention to Yellowjacket, regardless of his size. Their eyes flare at the nearer target on which to focus.

OOC: Yeah that'll help her evade or get away. YJ not a total dick...just mostly. And yes One of Us should be gone now that big battle is going on.

The cacophony of energy blasts, sirens, and screams is deafening, but Havok catches a glimpse of the trapped woman, The Devil's attempt to rescue her, and Iron Fist's move to assist. Being very much accustomed to working as a part of a team, Havok immediately moves away from the rescue effort and opens fire on the group of three doombots, attempting to nullify them or at least draw their attention, and fire, away from the rescue attempt.

Iron Fist drops down to the next fire escape balcony, and then bounds off the wall to land next to the devil of Hell's Kitchen.  His hands shoot out to the car door to make the woman's escape possible.

"You're gonna be fine, miss, we got this."

Iron Fist's calloused hands grabs hold of the same door Daredevil is pulling.  He stomps his foot on the ground and pulls at the same time, executing the reigning ox maneuver to add all the strength he can muster to the effort!

Cosmic blasts issue forth from Havok's hands and connect with his targets, a swarm of Doombots hovering near him. The power rips through them, tearing apart the constructs, leaving what's left to explode and crash to the ground. It is only one cluster of androids, a drop in a bucket, but the effect is impressive. The other Doombots turn toward the mutant. They have renewed their target.

There are no fire escapes on the buildings adjoining the intersection (https://www.google.com/maps/@4...g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) but the block that the Wrecking Crew were standing in front of was a construction site so there's plenty of scaffolding.

Iron Fist yanks at the door but it does not give. Try as he might, Iron Fist cannot pull the wreckage from itself, so tightly are the side of the car compressed into each other, rapidly crushing the interior.

The eyes of the lady inside are nearly as wide as her terrified mouth. "Save me!" she screams. Only when another blast from the Doombots jostles the wreckage does it move but only slightly and not enough to free the trapped woman.

OOC:
Because Iron Fist failed his action, enhanced strength shuts down, but he spends a plot point to activate the opportunity the Watcher rolled to regain enhanced strength. Iron Fist has 0 plot Points.

Prying open the door may not be an option, but what about breaking the glass and pulling her out of the car?


"We're not done yet!" Iron Fist yells to the trapped woman.

Meanwhile, inside the embassy and away from where Wolverine and She-Hulk have now regrouped, with the horde of Doombots between them, now that Yellowjacket has grown to a much larger size, enough that he can aid his fellow Avenger, filling much of the ample space in the interior of the embassy, he has also become a much more visible target for the Doombots, especially the receptionist, who is nearest to him. Who was just moment ago a bright, helpful aid for visitors to the consulate, now her eyes glow red and energy shimmers around her outstretched hands, which now fire blasts of concussive force. "ELIMINATE THREATS TO LATVERIAN SECURITY," it speaks.

In his peripheral vision, Yellowjacket notices the flash-drive he handed to the receptionist fall to the floor with a distant click. It is then crushed underfoot by the Doombots advancing toward him, with the receptionist, that pretty smile still stretched across her face but now setting a sinister visual tone, in front of the group.

With Wolverine and She-Hulk reunited outside, the encroaching Doombots now have targets they can unload on without concern for doing further harm to the embassy. No matter how near the heroes are to each other, and oblivious to She-Hulk's daze until she spins to a position more advantageous for them to hit her, the Doombots fire wantonly, having no care for the damage they do to the surrounding area as long as one of their wild shots hits a target, and hopefully annihilates it.  "ELIMINATE THREATS TO LATVERIAN SECURITY."
