As you pass the portal the first thing to hit you is the smell. Wood burning, death, and decay. You could see a few building in worst shape than others and some were smoldering. There was glass and debris in every area of the streets, There were about 9 people  lying in awkward positions on the ground, If they were not dead their bodies definitely suffered from broken bones.

From your vantage point there did not seem to be anyone alive or on a rampage.

"Alright, let's go," Spider-Man says, accepting White Witch's
Upon arriving, he immediately reaxts by saying, "Holy shit... I don't think anyone resolved this yet. I'm getting a very bad feeling right now." Right then was when he realized just how in over his head he was.

Upon taking White Witch's hand Spiderman would feel himself become weightless. Then with a light pull, she moved him over to the broom, clearly intending for him to also take a seat. As she did so, the broom also moved towards him, it seemed that both were simply floating and that besides that oddity newtonian physics was still in full effect.

The pair then shifted up slightly and off the building. They weren't pulled along by the broom, instead they all seemed to move together. Spiderman would be more than familiar with the sensation, it was as if they were falling together, only in the wrong direction.

Their flight was cut short however as she slowed to a stop only a few feet beyond the balcony. The billowing smoke that she had dismissed early as a puff of unpleasant city air, was now choking her as she had moved into its path. Looking down she destruction below, she remarked "This certainly wasn't part of the plan.."

Fishing through her satchel, she withdrew her communicator and began fidgeting with it, clearly not yet comfortable with its operation. "Hello? Hello? Hellooo?" She repeated until a reply came. "We have a situation in Austin."

"Ah, fuck-balls," Kevin said with a grimace.  "Looks like Belial decided to move the party here."

"Okay, let's head to the airport," Kevin suggested.  "Figure that's the best option to find a door big enough to bring the plane through."

He manifested his wings, bat-like, pitch black with a vaguely leathery look to them.  "Yeah, I know, they look creepy, but they work."

You Get through and seeing the chaos, You also see just off in the distance now out of the portal that This street in Austin seemed to have been the only one affected, Emergency services are scattered all over slowly moving in for clean up and rescue.

[Private to Spiderman: Your spidersence are not warning you of any danger.]
Fire trucks are putting out some fires nearby and the police have barred off a section about 3 streets wide.
Whatever happened here is over but is this a preview of what is to come?
The emergency crew seems to busy to notice you.

William turned from the controls.
Yes White Witch, What's going on? William asked turning to the team. Maybe this flight would be shorter then expected.

In reply to Darkstar (msg # 12):

"That does seem like our best bet," Spider-Man says with a nod after regaining his composure. "I'm going to keep a lookout for anything that might be on our way to give us a welcome, so far it seems like whatever caused this is taking its break."

Briefly turning to Darkstar, White Witch responded. "No. Like I said before, that is almost guaranteed to be a waste of time."

When a voice finally came through the device, she was surprised to hear William's voice and not some secretary or operator. "William, there has been an attack in Austin. There are first responders present, so we are likely witnessing the aftermath of something." She said before explaining the scene. "Should we help or should we continue to Laredo?"

Proceed as planned. I think this is what is left from Ghost Rider's initial pass. you should be clear untill you reach where we need to be.
Came the reply back

"Acknowledged. Over and out." White Witch replied before stuffing the device into her satchel and hoping William would hang up for her.

It was against her instincts to fly away from people needing help, but she knew that the people in Laredo needed their help more. Feeling uneasy about following a trail of destruction and what she might find at its conclusion, she ascended a few hundred feet. Then, if there were no objections, began to fly southwest towards Laredo. Her speed would reach about 160 mph, with her glancing over a few times to make sure Darkstar was keeping up.

Kevin took off, using the GPS on his phone to guide him toward Laredo.  The wings let him reach and maintain a top speed of around 225 mph.  Plus, since they were a Darkforce manifestation, they drew energy from the Darkforce instead of him.  A quick glance around let him see he was starting to leave White Witch and Spider-man behind.

"Oops, sorry, I'll reign 'em in," Kevin said via the comm units as he slowed down a bit.  "Once they get going it's easy to go with the flow.  Too easy."

Williams seems to have been correct, Your way to Laredo is clear, Once you approach Laredo though, This is where you can see the town looking like a warzone.

You see a few people Stumbling around in the distance to the south of you, It seems everyone is heading in that direction,

Various houses smoldering or burning, A lot more people laying in the streets.  (See Map Laredo one Uploaded,)


Orange = fire.
Black dot = dead
Red Dot= Potential People threats.

"Look down there," Spider-Man says as he points at the people down below  that were walking in an odd way. "They must be the civilians we were briefed about, should I slow them down now?"

With her face and eyes concealed, it was hard to make out her reaction. However Darkstar would still somehow get the distinct feeling of her rolling her eyes. She was already going past terminal velocity for her seated position, so the wind pressure was already quite unpleasant. She choose to keep the pair's speed steady as they soared towards Laredo.

Witnessing the hellscape that the town was turning into, White Witch stayed high in the sky until she saw the field, William's requested site. "Just a moment." White Witch responded. Descending into the parking lot next to the field as she scanned for signs of trouble, White Witch undid the spell on Spiderman allowing him to once again feel the earth's pull. Once landed, she began making her way into the high school. The double doors immediately in front of her would make a perfect match for the pair leading to the hanger. If no trouble presented itself, she would open the door to the base, creating a shortcut of several thousand miles.

"Let's not kick the hornet's nest any sooner than we have to," Darkstar told Spider-men.  "They're not hurting us, anyone else or each other right now so let's just leave 'em alone and hope they keep returning the favor."

White Witch didn't even break stride as she pushed through the doors, into the hanger. Her pace took her from the grey concrete side to the polished floors of the base in a heartbeat. "Hello! We got there and are ready to go!" She called out. If after a moment there was no answer, she'd repeat herself through the communicator.

From the front of the cockpit the front of the hangar changed from the steel wall and hangar doors to what looked like a window looking out into a baseball field. William heard White Witch on the comms before suddenly realizing she was standing in the new portaled doorway.



He waves to acknowledge her and turns back to the controls.

Jocasta take us through the portal, and land here onto that field.   The Jet’s engine start to hum and they headed into the portal. Rolling right out the door from New York to Laredo in less than 30 seconds
Well now I sort of feel slightly foolish for having everyone board the quinjet. Didn’t expect us to be right on target. he said reopening the hangar doors.

Once the team was all together on the field Williams set’s the first group to get ready and head out,

 Exiting the field and heading into the streets south you could make out with many people seemingly just lying on the streets It wasn’t clear if they were dead or unconscious. Looking down the street you could see A few houses  were in shambles and smoke can be seen billowing from some of them and fire from others.
Lorado looks like It was in a civil war of sorts, or some sort or attack.




Orange = fire.
Black dot = dead
Red Dot= Potential People threats.


Ooc: I have updated 2 other maps…

First one is map one Where we are and just a little down the street heading south is the image on Group U
 the whole route that was discussed was the map on Group T

Harbinger exited the jet and joined the others. Her body was screaming at her to do something. She hated waiting for instructions. She wanted to tear through the city to find her target and rip his guts out. But there was a plan of sorts and she couldn't risk jeopardizing it. Who knew what kind of monsters were taking advantage of the chaos though.

----> from The Hangar


Bloodrager disembarked, staying close to the rest even as he looked in all directions. He turned away from the group briefly to barf up his sword, Woundhealer, and held it ready in both hands once it finished materializing from the blood.

Going back through the double doors, White Witch joined the others. Once again hopping onto her broom, she floated up until she had a good view of their surroundings. Despite the increased danger of being able to be spotted from afar. The reverse was also true. From her vantage point, she could see any trouble coming from several blocks away, before the group would encounter it.

Bloodrager's unique method of producing a weapon drew her attention briefly as she waited for the others to take the lead. As she had explained the other day, she didn't think of herself as warrior. She was instead going to sit back and observe before deciding how best to support them.

Kevin nodded to the others as they disembarked and addressed William.  "I saw a fire station that looked undamaged and there's quite a few fires around here not being fought.  I want us to head there first since it's just a couple blocks from here.  Even if it's abandoned, there might be some information there that gives us a clearer picture of what's happened here and what threats we might be facing."

"White Witch," he said, tapping his communicator. "You got anything that can give us an idea if that fire station's occupied and if so by what?"

In reply to Darkstar (msg # 29):

"An abandoned fire station in a city where there's fires going on. I have a great feeling about that," Spider-Man says once he hears Darkstar's plan. "But it's not like we can do anything else besides walk straight into the warehouse not knowing what to expect, so I can go with that idea."

"Only my eyes and an educated guess." She replied. "If you are worried about the fires, I would recommend subduing the threats first so emergency services can respond safely."

"William, what are your thoughts on how to proceed?" White Witch asked.

In reply to White Witch (msg # 31):

"Obviously, threats first.  Plus the fires seem fairly contained at the moment," Kevin said.

"The thing is, we really need some ground-level intel on what's happened here and what's still happening here," Kevin told the group.  "Figure first responders are the best folks to ask."

"I know we want to hit the warehouse and shut down B and his peeps ASAP, I want that, too, but if we go in there blind, we probably won't leave again under our own power," he concluded.

I am following the broadcasts from the emergency services, they are confirming what we know the warehouse is their main base here. The police managed to subdue one person on the outskirts, He mentioned something about a demon wanting to eat his family if he didn't follow his demands.

I suggest we continue with the main plan.

Jocasta can be heard saying on the radio.
