Marvel Mayhem: West Coast Avengers #2

Undisclosed Secret Location, March 21st 2013

Union Jack slid down the nylon rope and into the dark room he now found himself in. For a second he wondered why he'd come here alone but quickly pushed the thought out of his mind. He also pushed the nylon rope back into his belt.

"I bet Braddock wouldn't have the balls to have done this..." Jack muttered.

Union Jack pulled a flashlight out of his belt before examining the area.

"Time to take these ba$tards down..."

From what Jack's torch revealed it showed multiple unfinished experiments. Dozens of doomsday like devices that could possibly destroy the entire planet in an instant. Jack spotted what he'd came here for and walked over to a syringe inside a glass case. On the side of the syringe the letters "SS Serum" were easily visible. Jack smashed the display case before pulling the syringe out.

"Union Jack? You're a long way from London."

Jack quickly turned to see a masked figure wearing some kind of armored suit

"The Wizard I assume?" Jack asked.

"Yes. You'd be correct in assuming that. Question is... why are you here?"

"That outbreak of riots in London. I thought I saw you there. Figured I'd try taking you down myself."

"Ha! Big mistake! Vision! Take him down!"

Jack watched as glowing red eyes appeared behind the Wizard and the familiar body of the android known as the Vision stepped out from the shadows.

"Target detected. Analyzing incapacitation options."

Jack frowned beneath his mask. He quickly pulled out his pistol before simply muttering:

"Bollocks..."

Seattle, March 22nd 2013

"EVERYONE GET YOUR HANDS ON THE GROUND!"

Several people screamed as the man dressed in bulky armor while wearing an even bulkier helmet walked into the bank.

"Everyone put your wallets on the ground! In case any of you were wondering who I am... the name's AVALANCHE! I wouldn't recommend pulling any heroics."

Avalanche heard a loud ping as a bullet bounced off his helmet. He turned towards the cop who'd just fired it.

"Like that..."

Avalanche raised his hands and closed his eyes as he started to concentrate. The ground began to shake and several people fell over.

"Please Avalanche. People like you give mutants a bad name."

A gust of wind filled the bank before quickly punching Avalanche in the mouth.

"Ah crud." Avalanche muttered as he realized who he was going up against.

"Ah crud is right!" Quicksilver said as he stopped in front of the bank's entrance. "Especially when you see who else I'm with!"

"Avalanche? It's been awhile." Scarlet Witch muttered as she walked in behind her brother.

"Does Seattle have a super prison?" She-Hulk asked.

"Doesn't matter." Quicksilver laughed. "We're taking him down!"

_________

"What the hell were you thinking?!" Luke Cage asked as Iron Fist handed some money over to a builder.

"What? We needed Scarlet Witch to make this work! Otherwise we'd have had to ask Frog-Man to join!"

"True. We do need more then 4 members to make this work! But... I'm not happy about having Quicksilver on the team!"

"Why? We could definitely use his power set."

"He helped wipe out the majority of a species!"

"WHICH he feels guilty about. Come on Luke. Give him a second chance."

Luke frowned.

"Fine... so who else are we looking for?"

"Wolverine might be interested. We still haven't heard back from Spider-Man and Cap's looking for Hawkeye."

"Right. That's a start."

"Well there is someone else who I was talking to who might like to join bu-"

"I need a doctor for this man! NOW!"

Luke watched as Hercules walked away from some kind of gigantic dog while carrying a strange creature in his arms.

"Hercules? What do you..."

"I SAID NOW!"

"Well..." Iron Fist muttered as a crowd of builders ran over. "This is getting VERY interesting."

@tommythehitman: Man you move quickly. Nice update and intro to characters

@impurestcheese: Thanks dude. I was thinking about it all day so I felt like writing it.

Getting things rolling now!

@guardiandevil83: Thanks man!

Wow your only days before ULTIMATUMS attack.

@impurestcheese: Oh... crap. Goddamn continuity! Well I guess I have a plan for it!

@tommythehitman: Sorry about that but since the Gen X/T-bolt crossover is in early April then the attack would be in late March. And yes you are right Damm continuity.

@impurestcheese: Well... how am I supposed to explain that?!

@tommythehitman: Take a trip, come back and find the place trashed. To be honest you should have checked either by reading or asking.

@impurestcheese: I still need to catch up damnit!

@tommythehitman: Yep I hope you enjoy them

Nice roster you got there.

Wonder what kinda threats your going to throw at the team.

@guardiandevil83: Bigish ones

@tommythehitman: Cool, builds from part 1, good work

Nice little nod to Cap looking for Hawkeye and I really enjoyed the interaction between Luke and Iron Fist, especially the bit where Iron Fist tells Luke to tell the guy who wiped out his entire species a second chance xD

@ekrolo: I still want Hawkeye on the team goddamnit!

Hope one of the Baddies is Taskmaster. Maybe he could be apart of a team that has it in for the West Coast team.

@guardiandevil83: OR MAYBE he could JOIN the team... along with The Irredeemable Ant-Man.

@tommythehitman: But then I won't get Iron Fist vs Taskmaster. Aww man. 'hides in corner and sobs'

@guardiandevil83: You could STILL have that! Isn't that what happens every time two heroes meet?

@tommythehitman: Damn it Tommy! You cant have him! Hawkeye would be more inclined to join X-Force or a team like it at this point than he would be to join Avengers.

@ekrolo: Damn it Ekrolo! What about Kate Bishop?!

@tommythehitman: Yea Im not planning anything with her, Clint isn't even Hawkeye anymore so you could make Kate Hawkeye.

@ekrolo: Yay! I have A Hawkeye now. "Sigh" time to look for anything with Kate Bishop in.

No more wire hangers! This has absolutely nothing to do with anything. That particular line was in my head and needed to be purged. I have freedom of speech, so Shutup! Oh and again awesome work. Lol

Is this becoming a message board?

@tommythehitman: Eric O'Grady was in MARVEL MAYHEM Thunderbolts #6 to #10. And apparently it has but feel flattered about it. Even doing the Avengers I never get this much attention or varied amount of comments.

@impurestcheese: Who knew people liked the West Coast Avengers?

@tommythehitman: Utau the Watcher and that's it. It stings really to have the lowest amount of readers in the group. You should feel flattered. Oh and if anyone wants to comment on my stuff or even read it well that would be nice.

@impurestcheese: Wait what?

Wait what about... er what? Utau sees all. And stats wise although I have the most comments in the group its only because I have so many completed issues. Still I figure one day I'll get a winner that everyone talks about.

@impurestcheese: ...I don't know how your Avengers title doesn't have more views. I mean the more popular guys titles do get more views. Maybe it's cause... you've not been around as long as some other people?

@tommythehitman: So it's simply because I'm new? I comment on everyone else's stuff in the group I kind of hoped that maybe they would return the favour. Oh well I guess in that aspect I have the moral high ground.

@impurestcheese: You get plenty of views on your work, its me who always gets the least amount of views on my work :(

I like how you have Trition, I think it's great we use lesser known characters. I shall do the same with Avengers AI. well done by the way, you are quick.

@ekrolo: Point taken

@themanintheshoe: I honestly know nothing on Triton. How come he never gets mocked but Aquaman does?!

@tommythehitman: Hannah-Barbera's fault

@themanintheshoe: Who?!

@tommythehitman: They made Super Friends and Flintstones and The Jetsons and Scooby-Doo etc.

They allowed this:

Consistently well written. I could do with some more scene setting up, like a line of description so I can know where it is set and what's going on. I felt a little jumped into some scenes.
