Misty wasn't about to relax just yet. Not when there was still a possibility of them zooming around from another alley or something.
".....so...what now?" she asked, turning her head away from the window and back over at CJ.

C.J. smirked. "Well, I gotta go save my bounty hunter buddies from the clutches of a secret government organization, keep you safe from those two creeps who jacked the car we borrowed, and . . . it might be my turn to get the groceries back home. Not sure . . ." he said with a shrug.
"Wait, who was dem two givin' you a hard time, Mon? And where's Arell?" Antigua asked as C.J. looked around.
"Those two creeps are Fisk's buddies. As for Arell, not sure, but I may have a lead." he said. Of course, then again, he still wasn't even sure if they were out of the woods yet.

Misty sighed and tried to relax back into her seat. "I was captured in a Gotham hospital, and CJ came to rescue me. Fisk isn't the easiest person to make friends with, or his employees." she added.
The shadow passed over the road again, and it was gone as quickly as it had appeared. She stopped and looked around the street, finding nothing. A flash of green caught her eye in the sky above them, and she moved her head to look up. She found the Vulture flying above them, circling before diving down towards the car.

"Kinda figured that . . . and to think, I though fat guys were supposed to be Jolly." he said with a smirk, trying to cheer her up, but even that smirk faded fast when he too saw the green flash.
"Uhh, Antigua?" C.J. asked as she looked back towards them.
"Doan' tell me . . . someone ELSE comin' after you, mon?" Antigua asked as C.J. nodded.
"Now'd be a good time to get the hell outta here, che'!" C.J. growled, his drawl slowly being accented.

Vulture swooped down, turning sideways as he came closer to the ground. His razor sharp wings aimed towards the top of the cab, sending a nice long little skylight as the feathers cut through the roof. He flew back up again, then circled to come back down with a little more momentum than the first drop.

"Aww goddammit. Bird season and me without a shotgun!" C.J. growled, Antigua, absolutely TERRIFIED of the situation, had put the pedal to the metal. Smoke puffing out of the back made it almost seem like that yellow, graffitti-ed cab look like a locomotive in comparison.

Vulture swooped down, now racing behind the vehicle with his wing pointed towards the window as he gradually picked up speed. Noting that the bird man would have a few moments before he actually caught the car, Misty turned around in her seat to face the man. She glared at him, her eyes now glowing blue. The back window soon became filled with blue webbing, hidden from Vulture by the smoke. Once there was enough of it, Misty forced it off the window.
It flew back, landed on the Vulture's face, and knocked him off balance enough that he crashed into a nearby building.

However, one did . . . C.J. watched as Misty took out the Vulture, smiling a little bit when she used the webs.
Wait, we've seen this before, haven't we?
"Remember? She lifted our truck with that?"
HA!!! Buzzard b***h is gonna have FUN getting THAT off!!!
C.J. looked at Misty, over where Vulture was and back at Misty. "Now THAT was cool, sugar." he said with a laugh.
Antigua, on the other hand was NOT amused. "Next time I pick up you crazy Americans, I be runnin' a background check. Dis NEVAH happens in Jamaica!" she said, clearly pissed that her car got tore up in the middle of action . . . AGAIN!

Misty looked back at him and gave him a weary smile, then looked back at Antigua. "Just get us out of New York, and I'll make sure your roof doesn't even so much as whistle." she replied, glancing up at the nice slice through the top of the car. "...you might have to paint over it, but I guarantee you it won't leak."

C.J. put his arm around Misty. "Shoot, that sounds like a fun weekend project, working on the car again." he said with a smile as the car left New York and shot over into Gotham City. Of course, he'd have to stop somewhere, get himself a new pair of pants.
((Exit Misty, C.J. and Antigua towards Surrounding Area of Gotham City.))

[Enter from Earth-9199]
There was a flash of light in the sky, and two figures tumbled out of where it was before it faded. The first of these, wearing a cobalt suit of highly-advanced powered armor, tumbled through the air, heading toward the ground at a rather fast pace, and the whole time she was cursing in Russian.
"Boris? Boris, respond!" Ekaterina ("Katya") Ivanovna Vanko said, hoping the artificial intelligence in her armor would respond. It didn't for another three seconds, and Katya watched as the heads-up display flickered a few times before turning itself back on. When the repulsor technology utilized by her armor kicked in, Katya did a flip so that she was facing the ground, which was steadily approaching, and she used the repulsors in the palms and soles of her armor to slow her pace and steady herself before landing hard on the ground in a three-point stance.
"All systems online, Miss Vanko," said Boris.
"Damage to systems?"
"Internal repairs being initiated as we speak. Expect one-hundred percent capacity within five minutes."
"Good," the young Russian woman replied, and she looked around, noticing that the Statue of Liberty was a few hundred meters away. Liberty Island... But hadn't she just been fighting in the Lower East Side?

[Enter from Earth-9199]   Right alongside the cursing Russian, another, decidedly more American, power-armored figure also proceeded steadfastly towards the ground, right out of the sky. The eyes and arc of the armor were dimmed for a few moments, and the entire body of the apparatus seemed stalled. Suddenly, Byllia "Billie" Stark opened her eyes with a gasp. "Bridge? Bridget, you there?" Another half-moment passed.
"Right here, Miss Stark. Reactivating optics and sensor array now."
No sooner did the slightly British voice of the AI go silent did Billie's vision become assaulted by the sight of concrete quickly making its way to her face. "Oh, goodie. Imminent landfall. No biggie." With her impressive starting altitude, the the quick reaction of her armor to Billie's technopathic prodding, systems returned to optimum efficiency, just in time for her repulsors and the jets on her boots to kick up. Just before hitting the ground, Billie's body redirected, going from a headlong rush at the Earth to an immediate ascent. "It looks like we got a tag-along..." She observed, noting on her HUD the signature of the other, familiar, suit of armor in the area.
Firing above the buildings, Billie located Vanko quickly enough, and kept a solid distance in midair as she looked down at the Russian. "Hey, Russian--"
"Miss Stark, we are receiving strange readings--"
"Not now Bridge, I'm snarking. Hey, Russian, I know you're not a fan of taking advice, but EMP's work a lot better if you don't use them on yourself..." As she spoke, the armor gave several clicks, and readied all available weapons. She knew Vanko rarely gave up.Current Mood/Thoughts: "Whoa.. That's some quickly approaching ground right there."
Current Location: The sky, duh.

At the same time that Bridget attempted to inform Billie of the odd readings being picked up, Boris did the same for Katya. For once, though, the Russian was actually completely ignoring Billie... Almost. She looked up at Billie and scoffed.
"Idiot. I didn't use an EMP on myself... Something else happened." she said through Billie's open comm, and her voice was one of disdain as she continued to look up at the Statue of Liberty, a look of puzzlement on her face, though this couldn't be seen due to the faceplate she wore. Meanwhile, Boris attempted to contact Bridget wirelessly to compare their findings; he might have been Katya's AI, but he was smart enough to understand that Bridget was a non-hostile entity when not following Billie's orders.

Opening her mouth again for a moment, Bridget's ping to her HUD stopped Billie from responding again. Slowly, her head turned from Vanko's position and to the Statue of Liberty. She didn't need the further readings from her suits sensor array to let her know something was wrong. "Well... That's certainly not right." More or less the words were muttered to herself, but Katya would be able to hear it over the open comm. Not letting her guard down, Billie's jets began to gradually lower her altitude, until she set herself down with a solid "CLANK" a few yards away from her Russian rival.
Billie was still looking to the guise of Lady Liberty as Bridget flashed an assortment of readings and energy signatures in front of her face, ones she knew Katya had to be looking at as well. She turned to the other girl, lifting a hand as if it were a shield. The repulsor on the palm hummed with readiness. "I know you're seeing what I'm seeing." A gulp came from her as images and maps featuring locations she'd never heard of bean to appear on her readout. Something was very wrong.
"Bridget, sit-rep..."
"There appears to be conflicting ambient energies reading all across the scanning arrays, Miss Stark. Maps and internet information is showing for areas such as Stark Tower, and the Avengers Mansion, as well as previously undocumented cities such as 'Gotham' in New Jersey."
Billie was actually silent for several moments. When she did speak, she had to keep her voice level with sufficient willpower. "What... What does... that mean...? For us...?"Current Mood/Thoughts: "Something isn't kosher here..."
Current Location: The street, having a stare-down.

"From what can be gathered," Boris said, his own synthesized Russian accent sounding through the speakers of both suits of powered armor. "It appears that some sort of warp within space and time has brought us to another universe. I can find no instances of ReaperCorp networks, for instance."
"Another... Universe." Katya said slowly, and she frowned inside her suit thoughtfully. This was an interesting new development....
