ENTER Blindside from Underground Exhibit
Carry fumbled around in her dress pocket for the key. She had the early shift today, and it was time to open shop. Another utterly uneventful day at the shop. It wasn't like they were in the heart of the city where virtually everything happened. No, this was the outskirts. Nothing happened here.
Finding the key, she shoved it in the lock and forced it around. She pushed the door open with a noisy protest from the hinges.
Nope...nothing exciting ever happened here. Nothing at al-
There was a naked boy lying right in the center of the floor between the desk and the Faygo stand. A...a naked teenage boy. And he was covered in something...red. Red, liquidy....
After a few more seconds of staring wide eyed at the boy, Carry's mind finally caught up. She screamed bloody murder and took off out the door and down the street, leaving what she assumed was a bloody body on the floor of the floor of her store.

Waking up, Blindside felt like he had been hit by a freight train.
"Ugh where am..."he started to say as he felt that he had no clothes on.
Scrambling to his feet, he covered his body quickly with his hand.
Looking around using shadowing seeing, It must be night, I'm barely focusing to see these things.
Looking at the shady objects, till he came across a tee shirt and shorts.
Tuning his shadow vision, he picked up a newspaper.
Dropping the paper with his jaw dropped, he was back in New York.
Running his all his thoughts through his head, all he got in his head that someone put him here.Why am I here, I thought I was dying and why was I naked.
Walking out the store with the clothes on, he head to New York City.
He needed his costume and equipment if he was going get back.
(Exits to New York City)

{Enter Hitgirl from Xavier Institute}
Mindy wasn't really sure what she was doing. The man who had indirectly killed her mother and ordered the death of her dad... well, if she really wanted to be realistic, the chances of him being here were pretty f**king slim. That said, if there was any chance--any at all-- she could still kill Frank DeMico, she would take it. That meant going to New York.
Even taking him out of the equation, New York was the place she knew best-- the only city where she could get her bearings. Even if buildings had been moved around or added, the general layout would still probably be the same. If she was going to figure anything out, it would be there. At the very least, she could do her superhero thing and eviscerate would-be rapists. That was always fun.
Absently, she checked the communicator she'd secreted out of the control room, making sure that the thing was turned on and slipping on the wireless earpiece. It couldn't hurt to keep an ear to the ground, so to speak.

ENTER Gossamer and Kenji from FISK TOWERS
Kenji, not aiming to be anywhere in particular right at the moment, simply sped his way through the city, and was now circling the outer edges of New York. He had to decide if he was going after this Cat, or if he was going to go check in on his other jobs.
Gossamer, meanwhile, had just solidified on the roof of a small grocery store. And there she collapsed. With a grunt, and a few choice words hissed under her breath, she managed to sit herself onto her hands and knees. Not good. She used up more of her energy than she should have. Now she couldn’t even make it the full way to Gotham. She’d have to…find another way over. She knew she wouldn’t be able to walk the distance…and she had absolutely no money to pay for a ride to the other side of Gotham.
s**t…now what was she supposed to do? Just lie here until she got some of her energy back? Kill someone and see if she had enough magical energy to steal their life force? Then she would have energy to use magic again.

ENTER Neron from Hell
In a swirl of green smoke, the demon lord Neron appeared on the rooftop before Gossamer. ”Greetings Janet. Or would you prefer Gossamer?’
Gossamer looked up as best she could at the man before her. Long blonde hair, handsome features, muscular form under a full green outfit…and glowing green eyes. It didn‘t take the demon residing inside her mind suddenly jumping into an aggressive state for her to know that this thing was bad news. A demon of some sorts. ”Gossamer. Who are you?” she asked quietly.
"I am Neron, and I have come to make you an offer. You need help. I can give it to you... “ he replied, a sincere smile on his face.
”For a price, right?” she growled. ”My soul or something? Something cliché like that I bet. I‘m sorry but if that‘s it then you‘re wasting your time. You wouldn‘t get much use out of it…barely anything left of it. I only die when I want to anyway.”
”Then wouldn’t you rather spend your long life happy” Neron asked, his voice gentle. ”Wouldn’t it be more worth while to live…with your life back? To be happy again?”
Gossamer became quiet and just stared at him.
”I can give you back your life. You will no longer need to steal and kill to make ends meet. No more sleeping in abandoned buildings, hotels, subways, or places provided by your employers. No more being bothered by heroes who only make things worse for you. You can have your own home. A quiet neighborhood. A new life.” Neron continued, trying not to smile. ”I can give you your Rosie back. She can be safe. Neither of you will ever need to worry about being hunted down. You can live peacefully with her, Vice…and Julie”.
”…Julie?” Gossamer said, barely louder than a whisper.

"Yes.." Neron replied, his tone soothing. "You can have everything you've ever wanted back."Gossamer paused, staring at him thoughtfully. Every bit of her wanted to jump at his offer. To get out of this whole mess. To have her children back. To just...have something close to happy again. "Sounds expensive..." she said finally, her tone defeated as she looked away from him. A bit of movement caught her attention, and she looked back up to find the demon kneeling beside her. "You know it doesn't have to be this way..." Neron said in that still soothing tone. "You could have your life back. You could be free. Forever. Happily ever after. Have a real life. No more super heroes, no more villains. No more running, no more fighting. The choice is all yours, and yours alone. That's a right everyone deserves. Especially you, Janet. You've already lost so much."

Gossamer regarded the demon silently for a moment, then looked away again. It was...very tempting. Hell, if she wasn't batting around what all extremely fine print the demon wasn't telling her...she'd take him up on the offer yesterday.
"You do not have to make the decisions right away." Neron continued. He then held his hand down in front of her and allowed on of his candles to materialize. "When you are ready, just light this candle, and it will take you straight to me." he said, then took her hand and placed the candle in it. "I have...an eternity to wait. Take your time." he said. A moment later, his form was engulfed in green flames, and he was gone.
Gossamer was left kneeling on the rooftop alone with the candle in her hand. No energy left in her to continue traveling across the rooftops. Nothing left but to wait. And to think.
/// EXIT Neron to...Hell? Wherever he came from ///

After a few hours, Gossamer finally managed to store up enough energy to walk again. But, she still just sat there on the rooftop, trying to think things over.
She'd been driving herself mad trying to find Joker, having no success. Her mother could help, but she refused to so much as ask for it. Now she's gotten herself tied up with Fisk's business again. The Bat promised that he would help her find Rosie...but she had no guarantee that he was actually doing so. She had...bad experiences with heroes, so she had little to know trust for them.
So....would it be better to take the demon up on his offer? It wasn't like she was going to Heaven when she actually died anyway. She wasn't going to get to see Julie again. Would it matter what happened to her soul at this point? And if he did what he was supposed to, she could have both Rosie and Julie back. A completely new start. She could drop all of this bad guy stuff and actually have a normal life again.
....
With a sigh, she stood herself up, placed the candle in her pocket, and faded back into a mist.
EXIT Gossamer to SURROUNDING AREAS OF GOTHAM

((Enter Suppai from New York))
As a bolt of electricity struck the ground from a power conduit near the burlington coat factory the form of a humanoid became visible. Only after a few seconds did two large wings shoot out and the electricity diminished, reviling Suppai in her base form.
She looked around and walked straight for the church, walking in. "Abbot?!" She shouted out, looking for her new partner and his friends.

Ward Abbot turned his head and saw Suppai standing there. On either side of the felinoid was a pair of armed men in body armor. The older agent approached Suppai and smiled, "I'm glad you made it. Any troubles, or are we in the clear?"

She bared her teeth. "We need to get out of here. And quick." Suppai turned for the door. "X-Men, as I know them from my world, are hot headed and quick to act... A little too quick some times and would of been easily distracted by the fact that I was in downtown New York around all the innocent by-standards."
Suppai punched a wall, leaving a hole in it. "But those so called Titans have messed it up and they never showed. They must know that we've split up and are now trying to figure out where you are, if not with me."

Abbot nodded tersely, "That would make sense... The Titans are a complete pain in the @$$. Jimmy, get a hold of Ivana. We need an extraction."
Jimmy Zorn nodded, "On it, boss."

"No... They'll be expecting something like that" Suppai looked to Abbot. "Now that I've moved... We need a faster way out of Kesshou's range... Where she can no longer sense me."
Suppai looked at the three. "Up to another ride? I have a very good place for us to hide temporarily."

[Enter Ms. Marvel from Xavier Institute]
Ms. Marvel glanced around her, trying to get her bearings. Nightshade had said that the portal would leave her a few blocks from the agents. Did she wait for someone else to come through, or start looking herself? "Well, this is just great."

Carol heard Oracle's voice over her comm, "Ms. Marvel, I'm picking up a lot of encrypted chatter over at that small church. While the rest of the team gets through the portal, carefully see what sentries and surveillance systems are active there."
