Elliott Quinn
Elliott like almost every other mage ever had a sixth sense. A sort of "magical detection sense". Nobody could say precisely why mages developed it. Was it a built-in thing? Was it part of the terms and conditions of practising magic? Or was it simply just the brain unconsciously working on a higher level?

Standing in that alley Elliott paled, his face turning white under his tan. He had felt a sudden and large surge of demonic energy nearby. But that wasn't what made him pale, he could sense something else, something about the person who released this demonic energy. It was faint, he hadn't come across it in a long time, but it was there- Inhuman.
There was only one word suitable for this situation, one Zaria would recognise well from her time spent with the demonologist, exorcist and master (or petty dabbler depending on which business card you were given) of the Dark arts John Constantine. "Bollocks!" Elliott said, not quite shouting, but not whispering either. "Ria, did you feel that? I sure as hell did and I'm certain it was Inhuman in origin." Eliott took out his phone and quickly typed out a text to all his contacts in the Avengers and Heroes for Hire, along with one magical group. He timed it to send on a magical command from him. An explanation for everyone if things went sideways.

He pulled out his folding bo staff, no quite sure what he was facing and turned to Zaria and Jon "you guys coming or what?"

"Damian Wayne. . . .

H

e had been spending his day in his crappy apartment working on some new exploding baterangs and mindlessly taking breaks to pet Alfred the Cat. He could have been doing more, he could have been exercising or even cleaning his apartment but he didn't care. He needed to keep his mind busy and his hands busy or he would have gone out looking for baddies to beat and with his current mood, he knew it would take it too far. Earlier in the day he had another fight with Bruce over him taking over the company some day and how he needed to be more present in the day to day. He also needed to show up everyday and do what he had been hired on to do. That didn't sound like something Damian wanted to do, it didn't sound like his scene so instead he worked on some new toys and kept to himself. He would have kept this up but he heard Gracie's frantic voice in her head telling about what was going down in the city.

He lept up without thinking, did a very quick change from his everyday wear to his Bat-Fam-Suit which was mostly black, completely armored like his dad's and with a distressed and kind of broken apart bat symbol. He put his eye mask on, which was red and lifted up his hood before setting out. He felt like the best way to get there was with his bike, so he jumped on his motorcycle and headed towards his sister. He pressed his comm pad on his bike's console and grunted out "If anyone can hear this, Vindicate is heading towards the target. Back up would be nice!" He then set the comm to play in the ear bud in his ear so he could hear reponses as he speed towards the ruckus.

Upon getting there he saw his sister in street wear and then what had her so upset. He skidded to a stop, turned off his bike and then ran to stand next to Gracie. "Prodigy." He offered as a simple greeting. "I sent out a comm message on the Heroes line." He studied the demons coming out of the rifts. "Biggest one's mine." He grabbed his grappling hook from his belt, aimed towards the roof and then let it go. Before his sister could say anything he was in the air and then on the roof. "Hey big boy -- let's dance." He unsheathed his sword and dropped into his stance, ready to get this going.

Emily Allen (Impulse)

Emily tried to be patient but everyone is moving too slowly for her to handle any longer and still hasn't got to show Cliff how awesome she is. "I'll see if I can get them to surrender" she says as she runs down off of Cliff and ahead of the group. She didn't end up hearing Drake's commitment about stealing from the bad guys or Cliff's response to Drake's commitment. It didn't take long for Emily to find a group of mean looking guys in suits and she quickly greeted them by running at the nearest thug while growing back to full size as she delivered a punch to the thug's jaw knocking him out in a surprise attack.

"You guys should just surrender now, it will be a lot less painful for you that way. You know you guys look reckless in those matching suits, did you guys run off a "Godfather" cosplay competition after getting third place?" she says with a smile. She starts running circles around the thugs. "Thugs like you don't stand a chance against a speedster so please just save yourselves the embarrassment and turn yourselves in to the police already". Emily believes that should be enough taunting for the powered thug to reveal himself and show off his ability and that hopeful some of the weaker thugs actually give up.

Cliff Barton (Hawkeye)
When Cliff realised that Emily had gone she sighed loudly and made a face that said "I don't have time for this bull. All I want to do is lock myself in my apartment, disconnect the phones, collapse on the couch and binge sci-fi for a week straight. Is that too much to ask?"

She grumbled aloud, "Greenie is so going to get us killed" before running in the direction that Emily left in. She ran down an alley, jumped some dumpsters and a low wall before emerging across the road from the apartment block. She arrived just in time to hear the "turning themselves in to the police" part of Emily's spiel. One thug lay unconscious on the ground, but the other twenty-something guys were still standing. The building behind them was tall, the ground floor windows boarded up with metal sheeting and planks.

From a distance, the gang members appeared almost identical. They were beefy, the kind of muscle that only came from being helped by a plethora of illegal drugs. Their suits were that dark shade that can be called navy or black depending on the light. Gelled back blond and black hair and scowls completed the look. They appeared to only be armed with crowbars and baseball bats with spikes and nails in them, but the bulges on their clothes told a different story. They were packing some serious firepower, knowing the gangs in this area, it was probably illegal alien tech.

The thugs merely laughed at both Emily's threat and her costume. The leader, a guy with a tattoo of a black dragon on his neck spoke "if anyone is a cosplayer it's you kid. And you aren't the first speedster we've got tangled up with, and besides, everyone knows that with the right counter weapon you can take down anything. So run along with speedster, before you end up in little pieces six feet under." His voice had a posh undertone to it. Evidently, he came from money of some sort.

It was at that moment that Cliff stepped forwards and shot two arrows in quick succession, they flew past Emily one to the right and one to the left, knocking the bats out of the hand of the suits either side of the boss and pinning them to the ground before bursting into flames. She whistled loudly, the kind of whistle one mighty sue to call a dog.

"Oi you lot! Listen up. This can go one of two ways, we fight and you get your asses kicked so hard you'll still feel it when your eighty. Or you lot bugger off, tell your boss to leave this building and its people alone, the go and find a new hobby. One that doesn't involve terrorising innocents and beating people up. Fishing is always a good option. Or knitting? Or how about tennis? Fantastic health benefits, plus you get in shape without needing all those chems. It's gotta be such a bore having to ela with side effects, especially if you're buying from Countina." she paused, pulling back her now and pointing it straight at the bossman. "So big man, what's it gonna be?"

Cliff left the question hanging, but everybody already knew the answer it. She was merely stalling to make sure that Drake and Helena had time to get into position.

"Well, I'm sure if you get a big enough group of heroes, stealthier ones preferably, I sure you could take them all down. But that's more of large scale undercover investigation." Drake explained to Cliff before Impluse ran off. "Ya, she very well may get us killed... I'll cover a nearby roof" Drake said before his body seemed to get engulfed by his shadow. Drake was now in his shadow, which letting moving quickly to one of the nearby roofs close to where the large group of goons was located.

Drake then exited his shadow and looked over the edge of the roof to see Cliff shooting two arrows at the goons and then giving the chance to flee, which everyone doubted they would. Drake tried to silently signal Cliff he was on top of the rooftops. Afterward, Drake formed his shadow into a ball and readied to let loose once the goons began to rumble. ...I wonder what goodies they are keeping in those jackets... Probably some fun stuff to keep for my self or sell off to the right buyer... Drake thought to himself looking forward to looting the soon to fallen goons.

Rai huffs over her coffee in a local shop. The place was nice and luckily she managed to make herself not super noticeable. How odd coffee was, the many things humans made to replace sleep was just so amazing to her. It didn't taste particularly good, didn't even seem to be nutritionally beneficial to them... yet people paid absurd amounts of money for it. Color her impressed.

Sadly the empty bliss didn't last long as a particular tingle urged up her spine that could only mean a portal to hell had opened. Lovely. The devil horseman shotguns the rest of the coffee she'd bough and slips out the back door, pulling off the normal jacket she was wearing the concealed her armored corset. She glances to the sky, noting it was still nice and rich dark rather than red. No apocalypse yet, just careless portal opening just across the street.

The ghostly horseman's scythes fade into existance at her hips as she raises the right one, throwing it in to the oncoming hoard, cutting straight through about three small ghoul-like demons. Her outline grew foggy and green as she warped to the thrown scythe, picking it up and mowing down a good amount of the hoard in just a few clean reaping scythes. These were all small fry, just mindless remnants from the upper circles of hell... however this gate needed to get closed fast before something bigger came through.

Mortimer watched with amusement as tge first of the heroes landed in front of a hell ogre and then called it "big boi" thinking it to be the creature in charge. Considering it was the strongest demon to come through the portal so far it wasnt to far from the truth, the large creature was leading a small force of fodder demons. However the next hero to show up caused his blood to run cold as he recognized her, the horsewoman of death herself. He couldnt believe his luck, if he could capture her here on earth then that would be all the power he needed to be on semi even terms with his goal.

She flew into a frenzy of blows cleaving demons down in the blink of an eye. She actually killed them about as quickly as they were pouring out of his hellportal. He sighed knowing it was only a matter of time before the mages arrived to close his portal, already he could feel their magic creeping closer. He willed the armor back paying no mind to the pain of his bones cracking and his flesh burning as the armor took its place over his skin. Tendrils of reddish material halfway between flesh and lightning reached out from his back targeting the fresh corpses of the lesser demonic creatures and dissolving them into a reddish energy which then arced down the tendrils like lightning being absorbed into the armor to boost his reserve.

He knew immediately that his tramsformation would alert the horsewoman to his presence and give away any element of surprise he might have so instead he figured he would call her to him. "If your aim is to close the door, your swinging at the wrong target my lady." he said unable to drop the formalities of hells hierarchy that had been tortured into habit for him. Knosing full well that he would fail to breach her defense at a range he didn't bother to unleash fire or lightning at her. Instead he summoned a sheild and sword which appeared in his hands with a swirl of blood red flames. "And what of you human hero, do you wish to dance with us devils?" he said hoping to goad the hero into joining into the fray, his presence would only serve to distract the horsewoman as she likely would help the human if they were working towards the same goal.

Helena looked at them and listened. Then when Emily run away towards the goons area, she sighed and shook her head. "Immature, untrained girl. I sure hope she is still alive," Helena said and run to a direction of the opposite roof from Damien. She loved her being the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle (Catwoman and Batman), it was a lethal combination or so she thought as she got herself ready in a position.

Once she was ready she signaled to Cliff and Damien that she was in position. Helena moved her head to the side as she watched, ready for anything. Helen's eyes temporary flashed cat eyes and back to normal as she was ready to pounce and kick some us of the stupid goons below. "I hope to have some kick ass fun tonight, like always. That's the best of the best moment if you ask me," she said l, kinda purred the words out.

"Whenever you guys are ready, let me know," Helena said and winked at Damien, Cliff and even Emily. Just to show that she was ready for fun. Yes Helena wasn't Catwoman but a Huntress, but it was her code name but she had a cat D.N.A in her, like her mom did and she loved using it whenever she possibly could. She found that fun. This moment too even if Helena focused on the situation and nothing else.

Cliff Barton (Hawkeye)
The leader merely laughed at Cliff's speech, which was the reaction she had expected. His men joined in half a best later. Most seemed unperturbed by her remarks, but a few looked nervous, shifty even. They'd heard the rumours she guessed. "I don't fear you kid. I've got an army and you've got what? A stone-age weapon and a speedster so green you could use her in a salad." He said.

Cliff couldn't help but agree with him on that. Emily was reckless and inexperienced, which could lead to a lot of trouble. She was glad to have Drake and Helena- people she had fought with before- at her side. The Heroes for Hire were a great group, but once again she found herself missing her partners in crime and coffee. Shoving those thoughts out of her mind, she noticed that everyone was in position.

"You have no idea how wrong you are about that." She winked at Emily, hoping she'd get the message that everyone else was there before yelling "Now!" and fired a volley of arrows at the mobsters. The first was a flashbang, the others regular arrows. At the same time, a door on the ground floor briefly opened and a brown and white dog ran out and jumped onto one of the bad guys, biting him hard on the thigh, drawing blood and screams.

The mobsters reeled, whipping out guns that even an amateur could tell was stolen alien tech nd with that the fight began.

Emily Allen (Impulse)

Emily barely payed attention as she listened to the lame generic villain dialog but at least she learned who the leader of the gang is. She watched as Cliff joined the party and quickly shooting bats out of the hands of a couple of the thugs. Emily was amazed at how beautiful Cliff looked as fired those arrows. Emily began to wonder if the gang leader was colorblind since she is clearly wearing red not green. She noticed Cliff wink at her which causes Emily to blush before she realized that must be a signal of some sign and covers her eyes.

As she opens her eyes she decides to take out a couple more of the thugs before they can recover with a few quick super fast punches to the face. She would of taken out more before they recovered but she got distracted by a really cute doggy that appeared and started biting the thugs. "Hey DragonFace, a colorblind bad guy like you clearly can't tell red from green should probably just give up already before you embarrass yourself even more" she says taunting the gang leader who most likely isn't actually named DragonFace. Just alien tech weapons she thinks to herself a bit disappointed that isn't going to defeat her first powered baddie today. "You guys should just drop those toys before you accidently start hurting yourselves with them". She continues to circle around the thugs to make sure that they can't target her for attacks and to be ready to strike when they get distracted again.

...Ohh they got alien gear, that stuff can fetch a nice price to the right collectors... Drake thought to himself as things began kicking off. With that Drake covered his eyes as Cliff flashbang went off and afterward looked the ball made of shadow in his hand. He waited for the right moment when Impulse wasn't near a group, which wasn't easy seeing she was zipping all over the place. But when he saw his chance Drake tosed the shadow ball into the air and once it was above a group of gang members is grew larger and it's weight increased drastically. Fell down quickly and hit the goons but luckily for them, Drake didn't want to kill them, so he made the shadow ball not weigh enough to crush them but enough to knock them down.

After the attack, the shadow ball deformed and turn back to a shadow. This was when things got fun for Drake, as gang member couldn't really tell what just happen, Drake could enjoy just controlling his shadow from the safety of the roof. He mainly lended support, watching for gangsters to trying to fire at his teammates. When he saw one, he moved his shadow under them and had it turn into a spike directly under there feet. Then the spike grew and stabbed them through to foot before returning to regular shadow form. It was a simple but effective trick.

Elliott Quinn
As he rounded the corner, Eliott was glad to see that he wouldn't be fighting alone, a group had already assembled. Two of them he recognised- Grace Wayne who he knew through Avengers work and her brother Damien who knew for the same reasons. The third person was a woman wielding surges and slicing demons like nobodies business. Elliott was getting some seriously weird vibes off her but ignored them. She was on his side and that was the important bit.

In front of the trio was a person in demonic armour, the serious stuff, not the kind you give out to low ranking people. This guy, whoever he was meant business. Tendrils coming put of the armour seems to be sucking up energy from the dead demons. This wanst something Elliott had seen before, but it couldn't be good.

Behind the armoured guy was the rift to hell, which the demons were streaming through. The woman seems to have them covered, so his priority was to close the rift, and hopefully not die in the process. As he ran a blue-ish glow began to appear around his body. At first, it was whispy, but then it solidified and rapidly grew, forming what looked like a blue-tinted suit of armour around him- mage armour. His eyes turned to deep indigo, with no distinguishable divides between where his pupils and iris used to be. He'd amplified both Damien and Grace, not quite sure what they were intending to do, but judging by what they were facing, they'd probably need it.

Elliott turned his attention to the rift and started to chant, a mass of divine energy building rapidly into a strong between his hands. Sigils flashed before his eyes as he let the power build, the more energy he harnessed, the easier it would be to close the gate, but the more likely it would be that he wouldn't be able to control it and instead do something stupid like destroy himself. Divine magic always had a price, and he inew that this would come back to habit him at some point, but now can't the time to worry.

He twisted the string of energy, forming a rope, chanting continuously and hurled it at the portal, catching it right at the edge. The magic flowed, slowly closing up the breach and knitting the edges between the two magical realms back together.

Cliff Barton (Hawkeye)
Luckily everyone got the message and covered their eyes before the flashbang erupted. From his rooftop location, Drake had the upper ground, quite literally. His "squish and spike" strategy was working excellently, taking the goons by surprise. The dog was causing chaos, biting people and knocking them over. Emily was moving all over the place, punching the goons and taunting them, clearly not understanding what being green meant. Heer perpetual movement was making it awkward for Cliff to get a proper shot. She released her arrows with precision, targeting the hands of the goons, the arrows lodging themselves deeply, sometimes even passing all the way through, doing all sorts of damage to their nerves and muscles.

The first few moments were mayhem, the goons caught off guard completely, but they quickly regained themselves. They fired up their weapons, launching blasts of charged plasma at Helena and Emily. This was the kind of plasma that could burn through walls, it stuck to its target and could only be removed by getting it stuck on something else or with copious quantities of water.

Helena was a more direct target, but for Emily, they had to think smarter, they fired in groups, some tracking her movements and guessing where she would be next, with reasonable accuracy. The boss yelled out a command and a group of goon surrounded one of the guys, a tall man with blond streaks in his dark hair. His entire body began to stretch sideways as if he was being ripped in half. His body taking on a putty-like texture, a split formed between the two halves and with a sickening pop, it tore apart into two people. The process took no longer than thirty seconds. The newly formed goon took up the gun from a fallen and started to fire.

Cliff watched in horror- they had a replicator. The gangs hadn't been this prepared before usually it was just regular goons, with some alien tech mixed in, but never this strong before. The gangs must be getting desperate. These guys had come expecting trouble and had she been alone she would have been overpowered very quickly. This wasn't good.

The original repeated this process, the goons around him shielding him from attack. It wouldn't be too long before the group was back to full capacity. She yelled, hoping the others could hear her. "target the original! If you take him out, the application stops!"

[Maria30]

Helena covered her eyes right when Cliff have the sign and then she watched it all, as she threw something heavy of the roof and knocked out 2 of the goons right as soon as she opened her eyes. She then waved with a smirk. As Helena only taunted the goons. "Yo morons, you think you are smart. You are surrender and you never had a clue," Helena said.

When the next thing happened she got out of the way and jumped on another roof. "Don't you ever learn? You aren't dealing with newbie heroes, well except maybe one. That thing can't heat a moving target! Did you really thing I will let that poop hit me? You aren't clever, clearly," she said as she then jumped down. That jump would have killed most people but she wasn't most people.

Helena could have crashed as she almost did, but she aimed it right and landed on her feel as a cat. "Um boys over here," she said and knocked two guys. "Clone huh? Which one is the freaking original? Drake, move the shadow to the left," Helena said the first part to all but the Drake and such to Drake as she signaled to him what she meant, as she hoped that he got her plan. She then glanced at the bad guys and the one cloning.

"Emily, can you distract them, I have a plan?" Helena said as she hoped that Emily heard her. When one of the guys attacked her, she kinda sorta broke his arm as there was a loud pop, as the guy yelled and then she knocked him out. The guy's gun fell out of his hand. "And that's how that is done," Helena said. She then got stubbed by a regular knife as she turned around and knocked the guy out. Luckily it was just a scratch, even if it cut her Huntress suit, but she ignored it for now. Not to mention it wasn't alien technology, so she wasn't worried.

Helena looked around and froze. "Cliff, on your six, watch out," she called out. Helena's eyes became a cat eyes as two of the guys watched her then screamed and run off. She laughed at that. "That was easier than I thought. The clone is mine," Helena then said and moved as fast as she could to the front. She gave around kick and knocked two other human bad guys and sighed, as she shook her head to that.

Helena then got caught by some of the bad guys, as she tried to get herself free but had some trouble. "Drake do something," she said as she hoped that he would help, as those were much harder for her to handle. Yes Helena was good but not invincible and she didn't see that one coming. "Any minute now,Cliff, Drake," she said and sighed as she continued to fight.

 

[Ilikepie]

Emily Allen (Impulse)

Emily was amazed on how cool Drake's shadow power looked in action, but since he is a boy still isn't as awesome as Cliff. Emily was a little annoyed at how close they getting at shooting her since she was expecting stormtrooper level of skill from these thugs. Random changing speeds and changing directions so far has been enough to keep them missing. Emily watched in horror when one of the thugs pointed their alien gun at the doggy and didn't take long for that thug to get kicked in the balls and punched in the face a few times before he even think about pulling the trigger. Emily believes that should be enough to confidence the rest of them not to point their guns at the dog if they value their manhood.

She watched in amazement when one of the thugs started making copies of himself. Even though they have a powered baddie she was still a bit disappointed it's only a weak replicator. She gets a little annoyed at the Wayne girl for using her first name in the field instead of her hero codename, but she quickly runs over to a nearby dumpster. "Hey uglies I think you dropped something" she says as she starts throwing trash out of the dumpster at all the copies of that replicator. "Ugly times whatever number you're at is still ugly" Emily thinks that should be a pretty good distraction throwing trash and calling the bad guy ugly.

Stopping and throwing trash might not have been the best idea since multiple thugs with the clones included now pointing their alien guns right at Emily and around her in case she tries to run. She considers her options running to escape, hoping someone helps, and shrinking down the moment they fire hoping none of them noticed saw her before she revealed herself at full size. "This is final chance to give up, so just put down the weapons and turn yourselves in" she says as she prepares herself to shrink the moment they pull the trigger.

Cliff Barton (Hawkeye)

At Helena's warning, Cliff turns sharply around, with a flick of her wrist, her bow straightens into a staff. A blow to the face, followed by a kick to the stomach sent the goon sprawling onto the ground unconscious. She ducked the fist of the second goon, and hooked her foot around the back of his leg, knocking him off balance, before driving the end of the staff into his gut, winding him.

With the two incapacitated, she runs forwards and positions herself on the first-floor landing of fire escape attached to a nearby building. She's just in time to see Emily throwing trash at the bad guys. The clone bodies seem to turn to putty when knocked out, which slithers back towards the original. So that's how he keeps going, recycling the old bodies to make new ones. Smart, very smart.

The replicants and goons had quickly surrounded Emily, forming an interlocking human wall, that she couldn't run through, all wielding guns. They didn't hesitate, as soon she opened her mouth to give her speech, they covered the whole area in front in front of them in one huge pile of molten, electrified plasma. If she shrunk, she'd be completely covered in the stuff, if she stayed full size, her legs were get scalded.

The more skilled combatants head to take down Helena, these ones actually possess enough fighting skill to dodge her blows and even return a few backs. The remaining spend their time shooting at Drake and Cliff's positions as well as dodging the dog attacks.

Cliff yelled out, seeing the guys around Emily and their plasma pile. "Drake! Helena! Target the guys around greenie and the replicator!" She then whistled sharply twice "Lucky! Takedown!" At that command, the dog ran forwards towards the plasma shooting group around Emily. They'd already created their pile of molten gloop, that Emily was in, she couldn't reverse that, but they could make an escape route.

Lucky would take down the men rugby tackle style, while Cliff fired a boomerang arrow that would bounce between the men.

Mortimers eyes shifted to the mage who was sealing his portal closed much more easily than he would've liked. Makeing a point to keep his shield positioned between him and the horsewoman, he pointed the tip of his sword at the mage unleashing a bolt of reddish orange lightening at him. In the same moment he lunged forward at the horsewoman pressing forward with his shield while simultaneously willing his tendrils forward hoping to make a connection with the horsewoman. "No offense My lady, but your power will be mine." He packed a vast amount of strength behind his charge hoping to knock her off balance but expecting a counter strike.

Gotham city docks
As Jason stepped out of the boat and onto the docks a feeling of nostalgia washed over him. Many times he and bruce had stopped smugglers operating here. Today he was the smuggler, bringing in weapons, vehichles, and armor. Enough to fuel an army courtesy of the Hellfire club. The men working under him did not wear criminal attire, they wore dock worker uniforms and knew enough to look as legitimate as possible. One would have to look closely to see the bulges of firearms at their hips and chest. Even with all the bases they had covered however he couldn't shake the feeling that the bat would show up, or at least one of his trainee's. Regardless he would be ready, and the bat family would fall soon enough.

Drake Swift

Darke was having it easy on top of his roof until the goons finally noticed him. He was trying to figure which of the clones was the original replicator but the shot began coming at him. "Oh, sh*t!" Drake rolling out of the way of the first shot. He had to recall his shadow back to him to form a barrier to block the shots and hide his escape as he retreated down into a nearby alley between two buildings. The loss of the high ground limited Drake limited view of the battlefield like he did on the roof, which in turn made his supporting role that much harder. Knowing after he moves he shadow he barrier position on the roof, the goons search around and find once more, he needed to make the next attack count.

That's when Cliff yelled for Drake and Helena to help Impulse and to take care of the replicator, though it seemed Helena need help as well. Drake had to act fast, so he took a deep breath and focused on his shadow. What he was about to do was not an easy trick, which was to make his shadow look like a monster. On the rooftop, Drake shadow began morphing from a barrier to what seemed to be an eyeless monster with sharp shadow teeth, a long tongue, huge arms, and legs, with claws, and no real texture except a smooth shadow-like texture across its body. It looked the part of a shadow-like monster, but it was more of a complicated puppet in reality. The shadow "monster" jumped off the roof and slammed down to the ground next the circle of men surrounding Impulse. Next, the "monster" slammed its arms into the goons, knocking them down and opening an escape route for Impulse.

If Drake could make it rawr he would have, but sadly he can make his shadow make noises. After helping Impulse the shadow "monster" charged at the group of thugs attacking Helena. Midway through the charged the "monster" morphed spikes into it right arm which it had up to charge into goons with.

Back the alleyway, Drake was trying his best not to be seen while still controling his shadow, a feat that would grow tiring quickly for Drake.

Waiting at the Gotham docks were several trucks were waiting to pick up weapons, armor, and vehicles. Drivers and loader were dressed in legitimate clothes, well clothes from one of Black's Mask front companies. Each of them had there own weapons hidden on them, we few more stashed in the truck. Once the smuggling ships were parked and the Red Hood stepped onto the docks, one truck driver pulled out his cell phone and dial a phone number quickly. "There here boss," The driver said.

Shortly afterward a black car, tinted bulletproof windows drove up in between the trucks and parked. Then the Black Mask stepped out of the car in one of the fine white suits. "Well well well looks like our mutual friend wasn't lying, though you wouldn't mind if my men inspect the cargo to make sure it's the real deal." Black Mask said gesturing to a few of his men"

Witnessing a bunch of superheroes trying to close a portal, Alina thought she'd help out but it seemed they mostly had it sorted out by the time she got over.
Still something about those demons made her head feel light. She felt like she should know something but she couldn't wrap her thoughts around it.
"Do you guys need some help or something?"
Then again it's not like she could be very useful. She didn't have powers... did she?
She didn't remember anything about herself, not even her name... Why was she wandering around here in the first place?
Perhaps one of them would know something. Then again they probably were too busy to even answer. She was hoping someone could help her regain her memories.
"Wait.. where is this place?"
To be honest she felt rather cold. She honestly felt like her body wasn't quite warm enough. She was wearing a black dress...perhaps that wasn't the best attire to simply be wandering the streets in.
Still she didn't know where she got it from. She just had it on when she woke up. Perhaps she should it for some brand name or something.
Oh right. The portal.
"Um... You guys just say what you need me to do?"

The smokey mist grew around the devil woman, her horns inky black against the pale of her skin, Her scythes raised as she stared the hellion in the face. He was angry. But not just right now, fundamentally angry. Rai's could see him dash forward, bold move going straight at her, one few people survived. He had a sheild so there was really no use in just hitting that and doing little real damage. She quickly launches one scythe toward hellion ass he dashes... missing and staking into the ground behind him as he rushes forward... and he hits dust as she warps back to the thrown scythe, picking up up and dashing into his now exposed back, both scythes moving to cleave up the spine of the armor, hoping to wear a few holes in it.

Rai couldn't burst him down like she hoped, he was too tanky. She'd have to out maneuver him and shred his armor piece by piece. Sadly the novelty of her warping had worn off. Surely he knew what it looked like now to where her warping mid fight again may do her more harm than good. She'd have t save it for the right moment. You've opened a portal to hell. I'm afraid I cannot let you live. Her voice rings like funeral bells as a hellish screech from the abyss sounds, thundeing hooves cleave the world's earth as the devil horse bursts through into this dimension. Grimmorah, the world breaker. The horse screeches to a hault before hellion, gnashing his glass-like teeth at the man.

Hellion would have to really try to beat Rai. She was a bit angry at him for opening an actual portal to hell and now hoping to 'take her power'? Not dealing with that today.

Elliott Quinn
Elliott's eyes widened at the sight of the lightning crackling towards him. He was almost certain his armour could handle it but better safe than sorry. Quickly he jumped to the side, the lightning missing him, but only barely, he could smell singed hair tips. Somehow he managed to keep his concentration on the stream of energy between his hands. It had broken off the portal, leaving it about half open, but he still had the energy and with a little bit of luck could close it fully.

He could see the scythe bearer in his peripheral vision. He sees her change to something more hellish, but that doesn't phase him. He's seen plenty of transformations before, human, mutant, meta and demon, so he's pretty used to it. What does phase him, however, is the appearance of the hell horse. This horse he did recognise from his 'study' with Constantine. Well if you could call it study. It mainly consisted of him sneaking books out of the library of the house of secrets and finding some obscure rafter to read them on. He knew exactly what, and who she was now. And he was impressed, extremely impressed.

He was jolted out of his thoughts by the sound of a voice coming from his other side. A woman dressed in black dress, with pale skin and pale hair had appeared. She seemed a bit out of it but was offering help. "if you have powers direct them at the guy in the hell armour and try not to get killed. I'll give you a boost. If you don't, get any civilians away from here and make sure no innocents get caught in the crossfire."

He started to chant again, before turning towards the portal again and launched the divine entry at it. The portal began to close again, but the channelling was taking a toll on him, his hands were blistering slightly and sweet was running in streams down his back.

Cliff Barton (Hawkeye)

Cliff saw Drake's shield in her peripheral vision and realised he was in trouble. But just as she shot at his attacker, she realised the goons had discovered her position too and were letting it rip with their weapons. Cliff bit back a yelp as the plasma shot passed her, skimming her head. She hit the deck, scraping her arm off a piece of rusty metal on the fire escape, before mentally running through the contents of her quiver.

She drew out the smoke screen arrow, carefully knocked it, the whole time staying low. She took a deep breath, fired the arrow and jumped down to ground level. The arrow dispersed a cloud of smoke, thick enough to hide her presence as well as masking Drake's. When the wind blew the smoke away, the goons who had sniped her and Drake were lying unconscious on the ground and Cliff was flipping her staff back to a bow.

The sight in front of her was chaos. Lucky and the boomerang arrow were completely disrupting the goons around Emily, giving her the opportunity to get out. Helena's skills kept the other goons occupied. Drake's shadow monster proved to be the icing on the cake, disruptive everything and scattering both the goons around Emily and the goons around the replicator.

Cliff had the shot, the replicator was unguarded for a brief moment. She took it. A blue featured arrow flew right at him, embedding it in his shoulder. The replicator let out a scream. "take him down! The guy with the blue arrow!"

She whistled for Lucky and ran forwards into the fight.

Azriel couldn't believe what he was watching. A literal portal to hell... and then his biggest nightmare come true. A devil, a real one, and a scary strong one. Azzy was fine screwing around with little demons here and there, running some out of houses and helping people with all things paranormal, but jacking with THAT!? No. Just no. He knew exactly what that was from his readings. That was an apocalyptic horseman.

Meanwhile there were demons crawling about terrorizing nearby people. He growls, picking up some near by rubble and slamming it into the demons with his telekinesis. He moves closer, realizing a woman was running from looked like some horrible boney demon dog. He didn't have time to use his surroundings. He steps forward, shadows lifting themselves off the ground as the woman runs past him and the shadows leap up, piercing the demon straight through. The tingle in his fingers turns to burning as he could smell blood. His stomach turned a flip as he began feeling the affects of his scourge. He was getting sick... but he was going to get sicker.

He looks down at the shadow hellion was casting, eyes glowing up black and making them leap up at him too. Suddenly Azriel coughs, blood hitting the floor as sweat pours down the mage's forehead. His fingers were on fire as the scourge was spreading. He needed to chill but now was not a time for restraint.

Alina didn't think she had powers but for some reason she felt like she knew what she was doing against the demons.
It almost felt she was used to dealing with demons specifically or atleast had before. She had seemingly become confident and her state of mind became focused.
She ran towards one of the demons before throwing her arm outwards as a chain appeared and locked itself around the demon.
As if it was meant to burn demons, the chain caught on fire, scorching the demon before it's eyes glowed and a bright light came out of the demon, leaving it nothing but an empty husk.
Alina suddenly was brought back to reality after destroying the demon. What exactly was she doing here again?
She could've swore she was investigating a dig site still....Wait what about a dig site? Alina didn't know what was going on and started to feel confused.
Alina's head started to hurt and she didn't know why she just did what she did or even how she did it. Suddenly her body caught fire and her head exploded into flame.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" She said before passing out, the flames dissipating instantly without harming her.

Emily Allen (Impulse)

Emily quickly runs on the wall of the apartment building that the dumpster belonged to since some weird glop stuff on the ground in front of her and none on the wall to escape the spot she was trapped in after Drake's shadow thingy that looked like a really scary monster, the bestest boy who is apparently named Lucky who will need lots of hugs after this fight is over, and Cliff got all the thugs off of her. Emily tried to ignore her random thoughts about how much cuter Cliff is that she owns a cute doggy so she can focus more on the battle.

After getting back to the ground off the side of the buildings she got in a couple of punches a couple of thugs before she heard Cliff say to attack the guy with the blue arrow. "I Got him" Emily says as runs around a few thug before getting to the front of guy with arrow in his shoulder. "It's time for you to take your nap" she says punching the guy in the jaw knocking him out and hopefully taking all the fakes out with him. "Only a few more pieces of trash left, do you guys think that the pizzas Neoshade ordered arrived yet? Hey pieces of trash isn't this part where you guys just give up and cry for mommies?" Emily begins to wonder if the dog wants any pizza and if pizza is even healthy for dogs to eat while she resumes running around the thugs taking some punches to their faces whenever she sees a good opening.

Elliott Quinn
Elliott gave about half of his attention to watching the new girl. A change seemed to come over her when confronted by a demon. She looked less confused and more confident in herself. A chain appears out of nowhere, wrapping itself around the demon before combusting into flames, and reducing the demon to ash. All in all very impressive but marred by the fact that the girl caught on fire, screamed and passed out. The flames had no effect on her, so whatever her powers were, some form of fire immunity came with it.

With a final push and a huge surge of energy, he managed to finish closing the portal. The sweat was running down his back, and he knew that his t-shirt was probably ruined. Magical exterior sweat was somehow different from regular sweat. It was a shame really because he loved this shirt.

The horsewoman seems to have things covered, so he decided to go and confront the horde that had been brought through. Battling the demons was a very familiar-looking figure, the guy from the alley earlier. As Elliott sent bolts of magic energy at the demons he turned to the mage beside him, who wasn't looking that good. There was blood on the floor, his blood, and the splatter pattern suggested it had been coughed up. Not good. "I know I said, I'd see you again, but this is ridiculous!"

Cliff Barton (Hawkeye)
Emily took down the replicator, knocking him out cold. The tide quickly turned after that. The bad guys had lost their main tank and the weapons were proving next to useless against their combined skills. With the replicator gone, Cliff found it much easier to take down the rest of the goons. She didn't even bother using her arrows, she just straight up punched and kicked them. It wasn't long before all the bad guys were lying unconscious on the ground, and Cliff, Helena, Drake and Emily emerged mostly unscathed and victorious.

Knowing that his time was limited, the tattooed boss tried to run, and nearly made it too, had Lucky not knocked a dumpster into his path, causing him to trip and land in the trash.

Cliff walked over to him, her bow drawn. She put her converse-clad on his chest and aimed the bow right at the spot where his heart was. "Okay listen up, this is how it's gonna go. You're gonna crawl back to that miserable slimeball you call a boss and tell him, tell everyone that this building is protected. And not just by me. Tell everyone I'm done with giving second chances. And that next time anyone tries to take this place by force, the arrows will go through their hearts." She bent down closer, the tip of the arrow mere centimetres from its target "if you try anything to hurt these people or take this building, we will come for you and we won't stop til your entire organisation has been dismantled. Got it?"

She paused, guessing that the others, particularly Emily would chime in with their spiel.
