Rapture started to move to dodge the leg sweep, but for some reason he was completely unable to. His legs came out from under him and he was plopped onto the ground with somewhat of a surprised look on his face.
He should have been able to dodge that. The girl...she had to have done something...

Cap capitalized on Rapture's suprise by delivering a couple of blows to the face befor makeing some distance betwen them. He now knew he could as least nock the guy down but not how to defeat him.

Rapture recovered easily enough, and was in a crouching position within seconds. He stood in place and stared at the man a moment. He should have been able to dodge all of that. What was...wait, that woman did something. She had to have.
After a moment or two, the smile returned to Rapture's face. "Still not very impressive, hero."

"Maybe he'd do better with more of a tag team," a very amused, very feminine voice purred. About 200 feet away stood Black Cat, and she looked very, very good, as per the usual. Her long silky white hair was a bit tangled, which could probably be blamed on the motorcycle sitting a few feet away from her. Her face was still flushed with the excitement of the ride, and her lips were curved into a rather smug, knowing, and... well.... cat-like smile.
"Cat..." said a low, confused male voice. It was probably only at this point that either of the combatants really noticed that there was someone ON the motorcycle. He was young, with an unremarkable though mildly attractive face, brown hair... In other words, he was ordinary. Completely and utterly ordinary. "Make this quick, okay? We still have to find that dem--"
"Oh, loosen up, Danny," Cat replied cheerfully before sauntering up to Cap. "Anything in particular I should know?" she asked. She was looking at the creature with interested, thoughtful eyes. "He's not a symbiote, is he?"

Skuld looked down over the scene.
"Black Cat? This should be interesting. Still that creature..."
"Lubrico!"
Grease pool appears under Rapture's feet.

// And cue sound effect "ZING" //
Rapture turned his attention away from the man when he heard another voice, and his attention stayed right there for quite some time. His wide eyes didn't leave the woman until the man she was with said something to her. But Rapture really didn't hear, or notice the man. His full attention was on the shapely woman with one of the best super hero outfits he'd ever seen.
"My, my, my..." he said quietly, his smile growing as the woman drew closer. "A tag team you say?" Oh, forget the hero. If he was taking anyone back with him....mmmm, bet she'd look lovely strapped down to a-
"Eh-HEM." Reaper cleared his throat, very loudly and pointedly.
Rapture winced and turned to glance back at Reaper, who had been standing a ways away from the fight. Damn. He completely forgot to be careful of his thoughts, since Reaper could apparently read them.
And at this point, Reaper's expression was both suspicious and...strangely annoyed.
"So do you want to explain the whole Blood thing or should I?" Reaper asked. Even his tone had changed a bit.
Rapture went to turn towards him, and felt his foot slide out from under him, quite quickly. Finally, he noticed the slick greese under his feet. Definately the pretty little witch. Perhaps she would be better delt with first. But...he'd still be out numbered a bit, and if Reaper grew too suspicious, he'd definately have problems. He'd have absolutely no escape then.
"I suppose I can if you'd like. But I only know as much as I've been told, or what I've learned from my own form." he lied.

Cap looked at the sorce of the voice. To his suprise it was Black Cat. "Nice of you to join us." Cap said before returning his attention to Rapture. "Please do."

Cat's eyes sharpened a bit; he smelled like he was lying. Her eyes flicked to the other combatant... and then brightened. "Wow, Reaper," she said lightly, "I was sure that you'd be able to stay out of trouble for a while. Looks like I owe Danny ten bucks." Turning to Cap, she said, "From what I understood--and I've been hanging out in Strange's house pretty much all day-- blood and symbiotes are pretty much the same thing." Casting her eyes over the rather demonic creature, she added, "Looks like they've had more luck with genetic modification in their universe, though."

Rapture's grin widened ever so lightly. "Oh? So you two have met? And you haven't drained her out? You really are trying to be good, aren't you?" he said, glancing back at Reaper.
Rapture let his smile fade a bit before turning back to the woman. He wanted to smile, he really did. Whatever these symbiotes were, he doubted anyone spent as much time with them as he had. So the bit about better genetic modification was a bit of an ego boost to him. But...he had to play the experiment and not the experimentor. At least for now.
"More luck? With as much testing and poking that was done with it? I'm surprised they haven't perfected it by now." he said, then turned back to Reaper. "Though you were one of the closest they'd ever gotten. At least that's what I've heard."
Reaper's frown fell a bit more. "And just when were you made? As far as I know, that little lab had to quit quite abruptly. And there were no other sucessful experiments while I was around."
There were, of course, a few experiments and scientists that had managed to escape. But all of the equipment and supplies had been destroyed. There shouldn't have been any way to complete another Blood being.
"Some of the doctors managed to get their lab up and running again, after someone else came and helped fund them. A couple of years after you "died" actually. I'm simply a newer model." Rapture replied.
Reaper was quiet a moment. He couldn't get any thoughts from the man that really gave him a clear view on who he was. "Newer model? I doubt that."

"Experiments?.... What is this?!? Resident Evil?!?"
[So, not demon but a monster brought about by science. Thank you, Dr. Frankenstein. The mistress will want to know about this!]
Reinforcing her telekinetic shield, Skuld readied to slam Rapture with about 25 tons of telekinetic force the instant the monster went toward Black Cat, especially noticing Rapture's attention to Black Cat and her .... outfit.

Cat's eyes narrowed once again, ever so slightly; this thing smelled dangerously similar to the way Carnage did. Bloodlust. She tried not to shiver. Without consciously deciding that they were needed, sharp claws popped out of her fingertips.
"Cat..." came Danny's concerned voice.
"Oh, come on," she called back to him without actually turning around, "Let a girl have some fun!" This way, if she really was in over her head, she would have some pretty hart hitting--not to mention supernatural-- backup. "So," she continued, turning back to the creature and absently examining her claws (much the way a normal girl would inspect a new manicure), "Any particular reason why you were attacking Captain America? I'm all for public disturbance--" And she was, too. The louder the disturbance, the less anyone was likely to notice one quiet little kitty stealing some priceless something or other-- "But attacking a national icon is going a bit overboard, don't you think?"

Rapture turned back to the woman, his sharp smile back in place. "I was playing when the hero stepped in. He offered to play with me, so I let him." he replied.
Claws, eh? Good. If she managed to get a good swipe in, she might cause him to bleed. Which would give opportunity for another one of his abilities to slide through, and allow an easy escape. Perhaps this wasn't the best of ideas, he could after all be underestimating her, but....maybe he'd go easy on her. Let her get a few hits in, just to see what she could do. Then, when he escaped, the could decide if he was taking her with him or not.
His smile slowly grew even more, though he tried hard not to think about what he would do should he take her along. Reaper's mind reading of course. And that which girl would have to be kept in mind.

Cat cocked an eyebrow and shot a considering look in Reaper's direction. "Uh huh. You weren't 'playing' were you? ...And here I went out of my way to get Silence of the Lambs for you," she added, looking disappointed. Her eyes were actually fairly amused, though. "Oh well. I'm not particularly attached to Cap, but I know quite a few people who are. Turns out that national icons are pretty popular! Who knew? So." She paused, looking at the creature with that slight, wicked little smile. "One time only offer. Stop playing, leave New York. If you go somewhere else, somewhere that isn't part of my playground, I can hardly be blamed for what you do, now can I?" To be completely frank, there was something about this person that scared her. Made her hair stand on end. It was different than Carnage... It was...

Reaper blinked a moment. "No. He was 'playing' with that girl up there." he replied, motioning towards Skuld. "I was actually trying to keep out of trouble, but he definately caught my attention." A car through the window of a shop, followed by a mess of chopped up bodies was definately a distraction.
Rapture's attention stayed on Cat, and again, his grin grew. "Unfortunately, there are far more interesting things in this city. I'll tone down my playing if you'd like, but I'd rather stick around here." he replied.

Cat shrugged. "Have it your way." Without further warning, she closed the distance between them-- she was much, much faster than a normal human had any right to be. Just before she got to him, she flipped neatly over his head and sent a kick back toward the base of his skull before landing. Even as she did so, she was starting to pivot around to face his back. The whole thing took place with a speed and grace that would put those familiar with Spider-man in mind of the web-slinger.
