Location #1: Kahndaq

[nynecrymes]

Catman's eyes narrow beneath his cowl. "Hang on, wasn't there someone else on this line a moment ago? Identify yourself!" He tugs at the ears of his mask to adjust the signal. "Color me nuts here, but that sounded like Luthor on the frequency..."

He eyes his team, then gives a second glance to a secured Lexcorp door. "Just what the hell is going on here?"

[_darkknight_]

What's going on on the other side of that door is a series of muffled thumps and thuds...heavy ones. Bodies crashing into things when falling ones.

[fleet_feet]

Not to mention some whirlwind whooshing sounds underscoring those thuds.

[infinity_inc]

"Something's going on outside. I'll go recon." Major Lucy Lane, recently assigned as a government contact to Lexcorp chirps from inside the improved Cicada armor, nods in agreement.

The suit whirrs to life, stepping to the door, and opening it. "Nothing but calm, and desert, and..."

KABLAM
A line of grenades blast to life near the new opening, knocking Killer Moth back into the secured area's wall.

[nynecrymes]

Catman pulls both of his hip blades to the air. "MOVE! We're compromised!" He rushes through the smoke, eyes blinking around to see where the assault is coming from.

[_darkknight_]

He shouldn't have to look hard; the fist coming at his face full force should be easy enough to see...maybe after the fact?

[lady_shazam]

A stern look is on Mary Marvel's face as she flies in, tossing someone in her way aside against the wall.

[bana_grace]

Grace gets a lungful of smoke just after dodging out of the way of the airborne Killer Moth.

She still barrels forward through the smoke and takes a swing at the dark figure who'd just managed to clock Catman in the face.

It connects, hard.

[_darkknight_]

Batman has taken blows to the body and face from any number of metahumans, including (under various circumstances) the Man of Steel. This punch isn't any different from those or, actually, from being struck in the jaw by a jackhammer.

Something cracks.

The dark figure drops to one knee.

[spoilersteph]

"Batman!"

From under her mask, Spoiler's face is set into a glare.

And a batarang may have been tossed in the direction of Grace's shoulder currently facing her...

[bana_grace]

"Wait, Batman's he--" Her words are cut off by the solid THUNK of the batarang hitting her shoulder and sticking.

This was not what she expected, not at all, and with a grimace she reaches over and pulls the 'rang out. Some of the Bat-family is here. Fantastic.

Holding it up, Grace motions towards the purple-clad woman.

"C'mon, cutie. Get a little closer, and I can give this thing back to ya."

[spoilersteph]

Spoiler charges at Grace, fists raised.

"Don't call me cutie."

[bana_grace]

"Could call ya sugartits if that works better for ya..." The batarang gets tossed aside and arms raised to block a few of Spoiler's punches.

"What th' hell are the good guys doin' here anyways?" She's hesitating in actually hitting the smaller woman.

[spoilersteph]

"It doesn't," Spoiler says with a snarl.

Punching the taller woman is out, for the moment it would seem.

"What we do best." Spoiler strikes a low blow, aiming a kick at Grace's knees, "Kicking the bad guy's ass."

[bana_grace]

"Eh, wha--" The boot connects and her knee crumples under her, forcing a grunt of pain and surprise.

"Not a bad guy, you stupid little bitch. And will you stop hitting me!" Grace sweeps out with her other leg, knocking Spoiler's legs out from under her.

[spoilersteph]

"Ooof," the kick connects and Spoiler hits the ground, and the purple-clad heroine sprawls, but scrambles back up again quickly.

"If you weren't a bad guy," she says, "Then I wouldn't be fighting you. But you are, soooo...." a bolo is taken out and thrown at Grace's legs, "Then you're just going to have to deal."
