(Hey Nico, I think you got your location wrong on your post format lol. Anyway, it's good to see you again.)  Skuld was following Tarzan, when she almost tripped on... half of a man's head. The goth sorceress' green eyes widened in utter horror, as the redhead ducked down under the cover of long steel tubes. Meanwhile, Big Daddy had an almost clean shot at Tarzan. Damon smiled evilly at his prey whispering under his breath, "Got you now you pretty faced b*****d."Damon took a carefully aimed shot at Tarzan..... Skuld moved silently alongside the metal tubing to about the middle of the warehouse's side away from the 'kill zone.' The goth now had the warehouse itself between her and the sniper on the other building. With no actual door on the side of the warehouse, the redheaded mage figured that no one would actually pay much attention to this side. Smirking, Skuld cast a spell in as low as a voice as she possibly could. When the enchantment was finished, a black shadowy oval roughly six feet in height appeared on wall in front of the mage thief. Crouching down, Skuld quietly entered the shadowy gateway inside the warehouse -- the black oval disappearing behind her like it never existed. With Yuriko's attention toward where Big Daddy was firing at Tarzan, Skuld silently moved from shadow to shadow toward Angie and Chris D'Amico....

 ✖▐ Dr. Joshua Jones xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tarzanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx▃▃ ✖ ▐ Location: Harbor, New York ▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ xxxxxxxxxxxx → Big Daddy is a formidable marksman. Not a Bullseye, but still very dangerous. However this man made one mistake while Jones still had his sensory on: whispering. While the average man wouldn't even hear anything, to Dr. Jones, the man might as well been talking. The vibrations made from his vocal folds in his larynx, as well as the sound of gun powder forcefully imploding, made the doctor realize that he had compromise his position. Jones, in the nick of time, leaped to the side as the bullet whizzed past his head and into the ground. Leaning back onto the wall of the building, he took three deep breaths and exhaled one.
A sniper. Memories of all documentary, interviews, patients and even snipers themselves flood into his head as he pulled out every single sniper strategy that he had in his memory banks. The memory of Stg. David Hancock and his particular discussion on counter-sniping was the one that Joshua focused on the most as he utilized the "Crack Thump" counter-initiative. The Crack, if he remember correctly, is the sound of the bullet moving at a super sonic speed, but that's not what snipers look for. When in a battle with another sniper unit, they look for the Thump. That's the actual report of the rifle, and the reason why this method is so dangerous for the other sniper is rather superhuman when heard by non-snipers.
Snipers, if they calculate the time that elapse between the Crack and Thump correctly, reveals the distance between him and his target. So the moment the bullet impacted on the ground, Joshua began to count. One thousand one, one thous-
There! The thump! Quickly putting in the calculations in his head, he deduced that the sniper is at least four-hundred yard away from him. And deducing the hole size, using a 50 cal. Definitely don't want to be hit by those, he seen what those bullet can do from all the patients he've seen while stationed in Iraq, for his internship to be a traumatologist. From the angle of the shot, using both positive and negative lead, he deduced that the sniper is shooting with the center of the scope instead of the millidots, and from that he deduced that he fired up on a platform instead of just hiding in boxes and such.
It'll take him three seconds to realize what happened, and five to disassemble his sniper rifle and fifteen seconds to find a different location. Total time? Twenty three seconds before he is hidden from sight. Enough time for Jones to move his position and attack. The doctor quickly scaled up the building with the help of the drain spout. In just eight seconds, he was on the ceiling, and took him another three seconds to smell the three... Yuriko is with the sniper and the third individual in the building is...right below him on the rafters.
Tapping the ceiling below, the doctor deduced that a good, 1 ton powered, kick would do the trick. Kicking off his shoes, and curling and uncurling his toes to stretch them, he focused all his cytokinetic powers to his leg muscles. Muscle fibers flared as he stomped through the steel, and land right in front of Hit Girl.
"I doubt you want to go through formalities," Tarzan began, "So I'll be blunt, I don't want to hurt you, or any of you for that matter. I rather we talk this peacefully and diplomatically."

"JEEZ!" the girl hissed as the man busted through the metal and landed on the metal catwalk in front of her. She instinctively dropped her larger gun and grabbed a revolver from inside her cape. She kept the gun aimed at him as he spoke, and backed up. "Peacefully? Does this look like a peaceful situation to you?" she asked, her other hand sliding down into the pocket of her skirt. Too small of a pocket for another gun or weapon.

Dr. Jones admitted, still keeping a calm steady pulse around him as he ignored the barrel of the revolver that's directly aimed at his skull. "But that doesn't mean that we can make it one." Tarzan looked at the various of corpses below and back at the girl. Christ, did she and that sniper do all of this? Then again, judging from the bodies outside, Lady Deathstrike probably joined in this blood carnage as well.
"Look, I don't understand what your motives are but there are hostages here. We're here to extract them, that's all what this has been about." Jones told them. He didn't care if he wasn't suppose to tell anyone about their objectives, but he's not willing to let anymore lives be lost. Even thugs should have a chance to live out their life.

 Yuriko thought she heard something behind her at a distance, when she heard Tarzan directly confronting Hit-Girl on the balcony above, Damn it! With a couple of acrobatic leaps, Lady Deathstrike positioned herself in the rafters near Tarzan but not directly behind Dr. Jones -- Yuriko didn't want to mess up any shots from Mindy. The Japanese cyborg practically gave Tarzan a low growl almost like her rival Wolverine, "Leave. her. alone! If you so much as touch her, I shall cut you into bloody ribbons!"Meanwhile, Skuld made her way to Angie D'Amico and her son Chris. Both hostages made muffled noises, when they both saw Skuld emerge from the shadows and appear right next to him quietly. The goth mage simply held her index finger to her ruby lips, to tell them to be quiet. The white-makeuped redhead silently mouthed to Angie and Chris, I'm going to get you out of here.After both mother and son frantically nod, Skuld set to work on the explosives under their chairs. The thief took out a few items from her magical bag of holding: a magnifying glass headset and a toolkit. The headset, Skuld immediately placed upon her her head sliding the visor down over her eyes so she could see the explosive device better. Then, the redhead switched on the tiny light on the visor to direct a small beam in front of the magnification. Next, the goth mage pulled out a couple of tools from her kit to carefully diffuse the dual bombs...... When Tarzan smashed his way into the warehouse, Big Daddy swore under his breath before taking off from his perch to cast a grapple gun toward a nearby antenna array. When the grapple and rope were shot from the unusual device, Damon anchored the device to his belt and swung toward the warehouse.....

"You want the hostages? Alright." Hitgirl replied. "Just bring me D'Amico and they can go. Otherwise..." she said, then readied her revolver with an ominous little click. "This situation's been compromised. Which means things are going to get a little messier than they already are."

✖▐ Dr. Joshua Jones xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tarzanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx▃▃ ✖ ▐ Location: Harbor, New York ▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ xxxxxxxxxxxx → Tarzan didn't flinch when Deathstrike got close to him, in fact he replied to her calmly and cooly. "Calm down Deathstrike, we're not going to fight." besides, he beaten Yuriko once. She can say that she was holding back, but guess what, so was he. His power was unstable and one slip up meant that he could accidentally tear someone's limb off without a sweat; if he could tear a car in two what makes one think that he won't be able to do the same with a person? So he held back most of the time. The only time he actually ever went all out was with Juggernaut and the Sentinel drones. Them as well as Bastion himself, but apart from that, everyone else only felt a fraction of his power.
But he hasn't really focused much on the violent aspect of life. No, when he decided to change his life and become a doctor, he made a vow to only fight to protect himself or others. That was his code and he stuck by it. So here he is, standing on these rafters, trying to find a diplomatic mean to end this- he heard something CO2 related burst, as his eyes quickly wandered to the sniper. Crap, he's moving to a different for a better shot. He better settle this quickly otherwise he'll probably lose his head on the next shot.
"No one else have to be killed here," Dr. Jones told Hitgirl as she mentioned to bring a man here. "I don't know why you want this man, nor do I frankly care. I don't know whether this is a vendetta against him or you were paid to do this, but if you follow through with this, it'll be an endless cycle of revenge and hate." The doctor explained from experience. He was part of a gang in his youth, and when someone killed someone else, it was just an obligation to find that murderer and kill him. When his friend was killed, he and the rest of his gang tried to find the person and kill him, which they did. But when that happened, his brother swore revenge and killed another one of his friend. It was like this for almost two years, and soon he couldn't take it anymore.
If she's doing this as a hit-job, then she'll find herself being hired to kill the goon that killed the other goon. If this is a revenge affair, then she'll be sorely mistaken that it'll be over if this man is handed over to her.
"Please, reconsider, we're just bringing a family back together."

(Oh.... I think Hit-Girl plans on bringing that family together.... in hell. twisted You can use that Saph, if you wish ) Skuld finally diffused both bombs. Even though it was under a minute, it felt like an eternity to the goth mage. Breathing a sigh of relief, the goth redhead carefully undid Angie and Chris D'Amico's bonds. Then, she reinforced her desire for those two to stay quiet by putting her index finger to her ruby lips once more. Skuld waved for mother and son to follow her toward the wall where the mage thief entered, beginning her incantation. Then Chris D'Amico harshly whispered, "What the ******** are you doing? The door is right over..."Skuld stopped her casting, pivoted around, and clamped a slender white hand over D'Amico's mouth, whispering in his ear, "Shut up you blithering idiot! The doorways are certainly trapped, and I came in this way."............... Meanwhile, Big Daddy made his big entrance by smashing through the window near his daughter, Deathstrike and Tarzan. Leveling a semi-automatic pistol at Tarzan, Damon snarled at Dr. Jones, "So who and what are you? If you're not working for D'Amico, why are you involved?"

Hit Girl's face tightene into a grimmace, and her finger tightened around the trigger. She had no intention of letting that man get his family back. Not after what he'd done to HER family. Hard to say "okay, you're right, I'll leave him alone" after watching a guy like that burn your father alive in front of you. And then, Hit Girl's father made his appearance behind her. She took her eyes off Tarzan just long enough to look back at him.

Tarzanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx▃▃ ✖ ▐ Location: Harbor, New York ▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ xxxxxxxxxxxx → Dr. Jones looked around, he could fight all three, the two in front of him wouldn't be much problem. Deathstrike however would be the issue if it came down to it. He'll probably focus more towards here then the other two, whom can shoot him while he's busy with Yuriko. Definitely not wanting to go down that route, he explained to them what was up. "I'm a doctor with just extraordinary powers, who heard about a family taken hostage. I'm involving myself because no family should even go through something like this in the first place. I don't know what this D'Amico did to any of you, but making a father go through something like this...it's not right."
He've seen fathers donate kidneys to their daughters for them to survive. He've seen fathers threaten the doctors with guns to push his son's reservation as a priority for a bone marrow transplant. He'd seen Wolverine literally slaughter hundreds to get to X-23; and she's not even his daughter. He knows what it looks like for fathers to be desperate. They'll do stupid things to get to their kins. Even if it means sacrificing their life...
...was this what that alternate world Sabertooth saw? Someone that he could relate to? Someone that he can understand the pain? He did notice how Sabertooth became angry when the father mentioned about the situation, could he know something that Jones didn't? Shaking the thought he looked at the two and back at Yuriko. "I don't want to hurt any of you, nor do I even want to think about fighting any of you, my priority is to extract the mother and son out of here and return them to the father. Like I said, I rather we find a peaceful resolution to this."
If not, then all four will be in for the night.

The redheaded goth girl quietly cast her incantation, and the shadowy oval reappeared in front of her and Angie and Chris D'Amico. Then, without waiting for any reaction from the hostages, Skuld put an arm around each of their waists and pulled them through the dark portal. After emerging outside the warehouse, the portal vanished into wisps of smoke. Chris looked around and finally got a good look at the redheaded goth who just rescued him and his mom: bone white pale skin, deep red flowing hair, ruby lips with dark eyeshadow, her curvy figure accented by the red strapless corset and tight black leather slacks. Chris' eyes settled somewhere around where Skuld's studded leather collar and her ample bosom pushed upward by the dark red corset... SMACK!
"Chris D'Amico! Keep your eyes to yourself! This far from being the time to be checking anyone out -- not that you should be doing that anyway!" Angie D'Amico hissed in her son's face in a harsh whisper. "Mom! Really!?" was Chris' short retort, as Skuld spun around, suddenly realizing was Chris was actually doing. The goth mage paused for a moment or two placing a slender white hand on her hip, "Your mother is right. This isn't the time or place for anything like that. While I appreciate guys liking my look, I don't appreciate being 'undressed by your eyes'. Besides, my boyfriend would get rather upset, and it's usually not a good idea to make him angry. Knowing him, he could potentially rip your arms from their sockets and beat you with them.
"That aside, let's get you and your mom to safety," Skuld finished and lead the pair of hostages from shadow to shadow away from the kidnappers. ..................... Big Daddy gave his daughter a kind look that almost seemed to say 'later,' before turning his full attention to Tarzan, "Frank D'Amico doesn't deserve any sort of happy ending. That son of a b***h destroyed our lives, and I will not rest until he and his entire organization is burnt to ashes! And on top of that, his little s**t b*****d of a son shot my daughter! Now you... actually seem like a good guy. A little naive, but a good guy. D'Amico and all those who follow him ruin lives through murder, drugs, and corruption."Yuriko listened to the little speeches by Tarzan and Big Daddy. While Deathstrike thought that Tarzan was as naive as Big Daddy indicated, she could well understand the dark vigilante's blood feud. It was obvious to her that this man lost someone very close -- his wife she guessed judging from the venom in his voice. When family blood was spilled, blood must be returned with blood......

✖▐ Dr. Joshua Jones xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tarzanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx▃▃ ✖ ▐ Location: Harbor, New York ▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ xxxxxxxxxxxx → Dr. Jones listened to the man's rant and sighed. True, he is naive at some situations. Medicine aside and his history as a gang member aside, there are times where he doesn't know what it's like. Take this man in front of him for example. He probably lived a normal life until something drastic happened. Like how he said it, D'Amico screwed their lives to the point where this man had to take up a mantle and exact his revenge. But it doesn't have to be like this. In honesty, Dr. Jones would have said that what the three were doing are comparable to what D'Amico did to the family; but he won't go down that road. Because the moment he listened to this broken man, this father hell-bent on hunting down on this one man, there is no way that Dr. Jones will convince him to back down. It was nothing but the high way.
Jones was about to attempt one more try to convince him to back down when his senses alerted him. It was Skuld, but with two other. Looks like she was able to get them out of there. Then looks like there's only one thing to do, stall. Even if it means to get shot, he needs to distract the three while Skuld takes the family away from here. With a audible sigh, Joshua began to dig his grave.
"I may be naive, but I know when there is a right and wrong. Frank D'Amico may be a terrible man, but your not. You don't have to be like him, and I understand the anger you have aimed towards him, but please understand it doesn't have to come down to this. Let the law prosecute him, let him be judged. Strip him of his powers, and take away everything that makes him Frank D'Amico, but don't go down this road. Don't stoop down to his level and involve his family. I may not know about his son, nor about his mother, but there are better ways to resolve this."
Skuld, please don't screw this up.

►ɳecrowinter◄  Felicity walks around New York as she passes the docks. She notices a knocked out guy on the roof of a warehouse. " What the hell is going on in there?!", she thought to herself. She continues to walk towards the warehouse as she hears people inside. She starts approaching the warehouse even faster. Her hand softly touches the handle of the door and she freezes the whole door with a thin layer of black crystallized ice. She kicks the door open to see people inside.

Hit Girl kept her gun and eyes trained on Tarzan, but only gave him her partial attention. Her focus kept moving towards her father, despite however many times she was kicking herself for not focusing completely on the target. She just couldn't help it. The last she'd seen of her father, he was being burned alive. And now he was standing beside her as healthy as ever. She kept her mind on her work...but after this was all over, she was going to have a good cry. She was reaching her limit with all of this reality mix-up, comic book....crap. Someone else burst through the doors of the warehouse, and Hit Girl's attention shifted to the newcomer. Since Yuriko and her father had Tarzan, she took her aim at whoever came through the door.

(Hey Nico, I think you got your location wrong on your post format lol. Anyway, it's good to see you again.) As Skuld led both D'Amicos out of the dock pier, Chris spied a car he recognized, "Hey, that's Jimmy's car. Where are the guys?"The goth redhead turned and gave the teen a waning look, "They .... didn't make it. Let's just get you two out of here."As the trio get in the car with Skuld taking the driver's seat, Chris made a comment from the backseat peeking over the goth's shoulder -- getting a bit of an eyefull but covering himself with a comment, "If you don't have Jimmy's keys, does that mean that you know how to hot-wire this thing?""Of course I can, I'm an thief. Only problem is...," Skuld takes a set of pliers from her tool kit and uses it to turn the starter to bring the engine to life. Turning her gaze at the now astonished youth, Skuld finishes her statement, "It takes too ******** long."The redhead mage thief peels out of the alleyway to drive the three of them out of the docks. .................. Meanwhile, Yuriko's attention was now split between Tarzan and toward where Necrowinter burst in a door. That's when her scanners noticed that the hostages are missing. Lady Deathstrike looked in the area that now only held empty chair, then rolled her eyes, "I forgot about about the thief.... Your hostages appear to be missing."
