And Danny, in turn, attempted to navigate his way through this huge warren of corridors, to wherever Ana’s ‘ at girl’ friend needed help … apparently to save the Russian President.

With Kate's direction, Danny has no problem finding the meeting room where the Russians mustered.  Though hesitant at first, the security guards let him through to see the bleeding-to-death Russian dictator - after being ordered to by the redheaded woman perched at his side.  It was too late to evacuate him to the hospital - it wasn't like Danny could do him any more harm.

"- There are more hostages being kept at the main assembly hall" There wasn't anything more she could do for her President. Either Kate's friend could help him, or not.  Saving some of the others though, and putting a stop to the Legion, would better serve Russia's long-term interests.

"I'm going to see what I can do about that.  Kate?"

Kate gave Danny a friendly little wave when he arrived.  'Hi' She greeted him mentally, to get a feel for one of Ana's friends.  Sure things were tense but he seemed to at least have enough support not to get shot at.  Standing around had felt increasingly like being useless so she jumped at the Widow's offer of something useful to do.  "Of course!  Let's go make everybody safe." Given direction she moved quickly now feeling out with her mind to try and get an idea of the magnitude of the problem and just how many legions were going to be getting in their way this time.  Stupid legion.

As they moved out she send her thoughts back out to Ana.  'Your friend is here and helping, I think, anyway the nice killer lady and me are going to see if we can rescue the hostages in the main hall, um, unless you need our help I guess.  Do you need our help first?'  As the thought hit her she felt a bit embarrassed about not thinking of it before, especially since she knew a bunch of legions were heading up!  Sourceofcookies was just so calm and steady it didn't seem like there was anything she couldn't handle.

"This is Newton. Douglas Price is in critical condition. Danny I need your location. I will be there soon"

After having flow upward Ana Sofía flies around to come along the street to arrive with the police. As she flies she thinks back to Kate, 'I'm good. No longer on the roof.'

She is sure her arrival is visible to the police. She slowly lands near whoever seems in charge, badge in one hand and the other one empty. "Freedom Force. I'm Windtalker. I need to give information to whomever is in charge."

As she's waiting, probably ushered along, for whomever Ana Sofía hears Newton's call. She replies over the coms, "He's inside the UN, tending to wounded. But the building's not secure. I'm with the police outside. The roof is going to get really bad in just a moment, so don't head for it."

Danny gave Kate a nod back, in response.  But quickly turned his attention to the wounded President ... while Kate, similarly, turned her attention to racing off to be 'The Hero^tm'.

We seem not to be in direct 'combat turns', so I am going to take two actions for Danny:   each would take about one combat turn, so would take about 10 seconds.

Danny crouched next to the wounded man.  Firstly, he used his Enhanced Senses to sense the wound and wound body before him, to better understand its predicament.

"This is Newton. Is there a window nearby Danny that we can use to meet him. I can evacuate whomever he is healing while he works on Price."

Newton wondered what was the deal with roof. Whatever it was, it can be dealt after treating Price.

Danny spoke to one of the President's men, pointing at the room's window, he said, "Open* that, and wave something out there.   I need to indicate to my team out there, where we are."
                    *  or "Smash ..." if it was apparent and necessary
Over Comms, he said, "Newton, look for the signal that I'm having someone wave out our window.
I have the Russian President here, bleeding out, who I've gotta take care of.  And Evac would be awesome.
What's happened to the boss?"


Then, once he felt he'd 'Sensed the Harm', he put his hands on the wound sight, then used his Mutant Power to Will the wound to expel the bullet, and knit itself well.

Danny finds that removing the bullet was going to be a complicated affair.  Having gone right through the President's abdomen, puncturing his liver, and shattering his spine.  The best he could do for now is stop the bleeding (both external and internal).  It would take much work to get him walking again.

In the meantime, Newton has no problems finding the UN Headquarters; the plumes of black smoke billowing into the skies are visible from miles away.  The shirt hanging from one of the windows on the third floor is much more difficult to spot, however.  Newton has to circle around the building a couple of times, Price's comatose body in toe, before he notices it.

The Watcher rolled 8,10,1 using 2d6,2d10,1d12 with rolls of 4,4,3,7,1.  doom pool reaction to Danny's healing. total 11 vs 12, Putin's trauma is reduced, and his condition stabilizes.

Ana lands at the entrance of the building to the sounds of gunshots going off on the roof.  The clones who made it up concluded that the only reason they couldn’t see Iron-Man was because he was deploying some sort of ‘stealth technology’.   They decided to test their hypothesis by spraying the entire rooftop with lead -  it was the only way to reveal the invisible Avenger.

Down below at the street level the police scrambled to find cover once again, unaware that the clones were not targeting any of them.  Ana flashed her badge, but the only reaction she got were the panicked calls to ‘get down!!!’.

While Danny was busy saving the Russian President's life, and Ana got off the roof just before it was swarmed by the Legion,  Kate and the Black Widow quietly backtracked to the main assembly hall.  A couple of Legion clones armed with rifles were standing guard at the entrance, but they haven’t spotted the two women just yet.

"If we charge in, they'll massacre the hostages. We need to bring these two down, quiet like"

"This is Newton. Multiple 3rd degree possibly 4th degree burns. Loss of consciousness." Newton answered in a flat tone.

Reaching the UN building was relatively easy. Making a controlled flight around the building while trying to keep Price's movements stable was hard. It took precious minutes before he detected the black shirt. He reached out with his mass sense and detected several people in the room. That had to be it he thought as he darted towards that window.

Newton knocked the glass. He wanted to barge in, but President Putin's bodyguards might misunderstand that.

Ana Sofía didn't need a suggestion from the officers. The moment she hears gunshots from the roof she heads for cover with them. After catching her breath she show her badge to an officer behind cover next to her. "I need to talk to whoever is in charge right away."

As soon as Danny had stabilised the Russian President*, he turned to the man's bodyguards, "Do not move him without my authorisation, or you may kill him.  But he is stable for now.   Do what you can to keep him warm", he said, with an authoritative voice.
this was as much to keep them busy, and away from Newton, as anything else
           * are we using Putin?   or is this a fictional Prez?


He then moved over to the window, and opened it up enough that Newton could fly himself and </b>Doug Price</b> in.
Pointing to a spare table in the room, he said to Newton, "Put him on that table" as he moved to follow them.

Immediately, he was doing a Bio-Scan to sense Price's state of health.

Newton said the crispy remains of a man were Price's, and Danny had to take his word for it;  there was no way anyone could positively identify him without checking the dental records.  A quick inspection proved what he already suspected.  Price was dead.  Or rather, mostly dead.

His heart has stopped.  Danny wasn't sure if restarting it would help any - irreparable brain damage occurred minutes after cardiac arrest, and Newton and Price could easily have spent that long circling around the building.  Even restarting the heart (which Danny managed to do), wouldn't be of much use without functioning lungs. Or blood.

He would have to stay by Price's side until he manages to restore enough of him.  It might take days, or even weeks, before he stabilizes him to a point the doctors can treat him by themselves.

"I'll take the left one, you take the right" The Black Widow paused only for a second for Kate to acknowledge the plan of attack before she moved toward the clones.  She had a razor sharp wire rolled up inside her bracelets, and with one swift movement she pulled it out and wrapped it around the clone's neck like a lasso.  A guttural gurgle followed, then a 'thump', as the head landed between the clone's feet.

Well, f**k, I guess that is what Danny is going to have to do.
        (I can, and will, edit this if I have overstepped a game boundary)

Explaining this to Newton, Danny says, “What’s the situation outside?   Are you even able to protect us?”
Unless necessitated, Danny will be staying with his two patients, then.

Ana eventually manages to find the man in charge.  Captain Finner, whose most defining characteristic was a well groomed chevron mustache, was standing way back at the road leading to the headquarters, screaming commands at the police radio.

"Now what?" he angrily turned toward her once she flashed her badge "Look, with all due respect, we need the Marines in here, not the Feds.  If you want to help, get me that hostage negotiator you guys promised me like ten minutes ago"

In reply to Danny Tanner (msg # 63):

Danny's words hit him like a bullet. Danny was saying he could heal him while stating that he was also dead. It didn't make sense.

Danny's question brought him back from his thoughts. "I am not sure. There is some action going on the rooftop. But I can evacuate you guys immediately. All you need to do is jump out of the window. I will lower gravity. Then I will bring President Putin and Price down myself. So you can do your work in a proper environment, Danny.

Danny looked at his two charges, one hand on each ‘chest’.
“If we are all on the one table?   Can you fly us out?
I’m not sure I can hold this effect without this physical contact:   At least for a while, I need to be …” he was looking for the words, the. Realised how simple it was, “keeping him alive”.

"Yes. Rest can jump. I can lower you three together. Then I can follow you down." Newton said curtly and looked at the bodyguards.

"Is that alright with you, gentlemen?

"No" the big man stepped forward "You're not taking our president anywhere.  And you're not leaving either"  he looked sternly at the two "Not until we get doctor here"

In reply to Black Widow (msg # 62):

Kate acknowledged the widow's instruction mentally, then drew on some of that sense of focus and professionalism to get ready to go.  As the widow moved in on one Kate slipped towards the other leaping silently like a, well regular sized panther she hit the second clone hard, one hand jammed into its mouth the other at it's throat ripping it out heedless of the mess it might make.  What was important was speed, and keeping him from raising the alarm.  No time to play right now.  Kate wasn't really used to such prolonged fights, and was starting to get tired, so she put in extra effort to make sure that she wouldn't slip up at this critical point, looking to the Widow for approval she almost radiating 'Look at me, I did good right?' though more in emotion than an actual psychic message.
