Oliver Queen, The Green Arrow.
One of the first things Oliver knew when he started his hero career: do not get caught by people much stronger than you. In the case of the Iron Monger, that meant staying out of sight of Mr. Tin Man as he walked away with purpose. Hearing who he targeted made Oliver do everything he can to not announce himself. So Oliver Queen slowly stalked the giant armored suit, like a hunter would stalk after a bull moose already wounded.
When another person fell from the sky, he stopped just as Iron Monger stopped. He watched as Iron Monger charged up that weird reactor at the center of his chest, aiming to annihilate Rogue. Something he can't allow. In this case, this counted as an emergency, because someone's life was in stake. So he loaded a little surprise for the Iron Monger. Something he has only used once before. And he was hoping he'd never use again.
"Hey Tin Man," called Oliver as he boldly showed him right in the open, arrow ready to fire, "Merry Christmas," then the arrow was fired. In mid flight, it split into two, with a blue energy tethering the two arrows to one another as they aimed to wrap up the Iron Monger in different directions. When both arrows hit the target: the Iron Monger's reactor, which was proudly displayed in the center of his chest, begging to be shot, a big flash of white light erupted, followed by a loud explosion. One that Oliver Queen anticipated to happen and ducked back behind a rock.
Whatever damage Jonah did with his pistols, and now this Quantum Arrow, would likely take a toll on the structural integrity of the Iron Monger, if not shut the suit down.

 Brian Mason had poured it on firing on Rogue with the Kryptonite Unibeam, wondering how the 'Kryptonian' girl was still alive. The I.O. agent heard Green Arrow's declaration, then began to find himself wrapped in a quantum energy line -- wrapping around him like some sort of bola. Just as Mason began to react to the entangle, both quantum arrowheads found the arc reactor and breached it. Mason's eyes just had enough time to widen..... ..............  From behind a large boulder, Songbird started her descent away from the artillery bombardment, projecting a shield around herself. Melissa saw the assault on Rogue and was shocked by its savagery, My God, he's going to kill her. Taking a moment behind cover, Melissa projected large construct resembling Captain America's shield to interpose between Iron Monger and Rogue -- angling the shield to try to safely deflect the harsh green energy. Melissa saw Oliver fire his arrow that lashed energy around Iron Monger.... And shielded her eyes from the resultant bright white explosion. And half a heartbeat later, a blue and green explosive shockwave blasted the entire canyon, knocking Songbird off her feet slamming her hard against a rock. The visible energy shockwave continued to fan outward engulfing the mesa above in its wake and beyond...... (Okay everyone, since there IS a lot of cover available, you CAN save yourselves from this blast. HOWEVER, no one will be untouched by this shockwave. Only Alexi phased in the rockface is immune from the energy blast itself. He'll feel the concussive wave but can't 'burn' from the energy blast.
And to the flyers above.... the shockwave will be reaching you guys up there too. Fair warning. And Superboy has to worry about the Kryptonite effect...)

The blast sent Jonah flying. The quick-thinking ex-Confederate gripped onto a rock as he few by it and held on, saving himself from getting blown away from the shockwave.
As for Bobby, he tried to stablize himself, but he overdid it, sending him high into the air!
Meanwile inside, Arell felt the ground shake. What the ******** was that?! he thought, trying to move forward.

 Alexander "Alexi" Stark Romanov Let me wrap my arms around you
Suffer the Trespasses that you‘ve made
I will take your pain away, forever and a day
If you‘d just call out my name, just whisper it
§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ He was about to come out right as the explosion happened. He had seen Green Arrow's attack and was about to build up on it right as the explosion seemed to happen from nowhere...and then he was glad that he had waited. The force shook even within the confines of the Shadow Realm, and made the assassin go blind for a moment, before finally stepping out to see the aftermath of what had occurred...and apparently he seemed to be the only one to be the least affected by its power. "Well that was quite the bang I was looking for..." He mused out loud, the first words he had said out loud for the last two weeks. If Iron Monger was still alive...Alexi would kill him. If the lug knew who he was...he'd better feign death for putting the Assassin through so much s**t today. "Anybody else alive?" His Russian accent was very prominent here, his least concern being to hide it of course. ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§
When you feel that something‘s wrong
I‘ll shelter you and keep you warm
I‘ll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me

Jonah grunted as he hoisted himself up, sitting on the rock, playing with his revolver, just fiddling with it. "Well, that's somethin' you don't see ev'ryday." he said, looking at the blast site. He had indeed gotten burned, but not as badly as he (already) looked! Hopping down from the rock, he holstered the gun and stuck his hand out to Oliver. "Nice shootin' there, Robin Hood." he said with a wink. He hadn't seen an arrow shot like that in a VERY long time.

Oliver Queen, The Green Arrow.
The preemptive ducking for cover did wonders to shield him from the worst of the explosion, but it didn't sound like the Quantum Arrows he just shot. It sounded like a minature reactor going off. The concussive wave that erupted from the doomed Iron Monger made his ears ring, so he covered them and hunched over, avoiding the worse of the explosion, which the large rock he ducked behind absorbed. Seems that was just a bit overkill. But it wasn't like the overgrown Tin Man left him any choice. He was far too dangerous to be left alive.
When the explosion subsided, Oliver took his hands off his ears. There was still a slight ringing to them, but at the very least he didn't end up like the Iron Monger. Standing up, he looked over to the burning wreck and then heard someone call out for survivors. This was cut off by someone jumping down from a rock and complimented him on his shooting, holding out his hand. Oliver took it, answering, "Thanks, I was only aiming to disable his suit, not light it up like the Fourth of July."
He did regret it though. Oliver did try to keep from killing if he can help it. This just wasn't Mason's lucky day.

 Jinx had been continuing her assault on the Black Talons. One by one, the dark armored troopers had been succumbing to the sorceress' hexes. This group of Black Talons had escaped the combined assaults of Alexi, Green Arrow, Songbird, Jonah Hex, and Cyclops in an attempt to flee back to the Phoenix Base. Jinx didn't want them to have the chance to reinforce the fortress that the Titans and X-Men intend to assault to rescue the test subjects of Ivana Baiul. Unleashing the full extent of her hexes, the hexmistress dressed as Batgirl brought down part of the canyon down on the lone armored terrain vehicle they had left. This pretty much routed what few troopers remained conscious. In pursuit, Roshni flung a couple of concussion batarangs (with a little extra hex for effect) to down the rest of them. Then, spending the next few minutes to zip-tie as many Talons as she could, the HIVE-turned-Titan turned her face skyward to welcome the rain to try to cool herself off. Then the explosion and shockwave caught up with her. Blasted off of her feet, Jinx rolled painfully from the rough treatment -- thanking the heavens that her reinforced cape was absorbing most of the damage. From a crouching position, 'Batgirl' saw a large basketball-sized object bounding her way. Wrapping the titanium weave cape over her to shield from the expected explosion.... which never came. A quizzical expression beheld Jinx's features, as she approached the metallic object. Tilted her head a bit, the caped crusaderette picked up the helm of Iron Monger, "What the..."Then, something dropped from the head to the ground, and green contacted eyes drifted down..... and saw the head of Brian Mason staring back up at her. A high-pitched scream erupted from her mouth, as the girl made a soccer style kick in a 'knee-jerk' reaction: PUNT!!.......................................... Meanwhile back where Hex was congratulating Green Arrow, a large ball like object tumbled end-over-end at them -- hitting the ground as rolling between them. The disembodied head of Brian Mason seemed to be staring open-mouthed at Oliver as if accusing him for his fate. ...........................................  Ivana Baiul was staring at the board displayed in front of her showing movements -- or lack thereof -- of most of her force deployed against the heroes. In the Command Center, various techs barked off reports that kept aggravating the I.O. Director. Clenching her teeth and her fists with her arms ramrod straight down her sides, Ivana finally erupted after hearing the report of Arell Benoit single-handedly wrecking the flightdeck and bounding into the hangar bay causing wonton destruction: "Why is this so DAMNED... DIFFICULT!?!?!?"Taking a few ragged breaths after her exclamation, Ivana stabbed a finger in the direction of one of the techs, "Have a squad of soldiers geared for SPB engagement meet me at Echo Level ASAP!!! I've had enough of this lunacy!!!"After receiving an acknowledgement from the technician, the base shook slightly from the shockwave... "What in the hell was that!?!" Ivana looked around for the answer. Zorn's voice patched in, "Director.... It appears that one of the heroes detonated Iron Monger's ARC reactor. All of our troopers outside are down or dead. Though we have fighters in the air, we have nothing between us and the Titans, Ma'am."Ivana's face paled, "Sound the evacuation of the SPBs and technicians. And get yourselves to Zulu Base. I'll be catching up once I kill some of these annoying capes..."

Meanwhile, down below, Arell (erroneously considered Arell Benoit) had made it into the building. Unbenownst to HIM though, he stumbled through the chaos and wound up at Echo Level! "Damn . . . dat was almost TOO easy." he muttered to himself as he reloaded his weaponry. Not that he needed it too much. They were too preoccupied by the ensuing mayhem OUTSIDE to realize that probably one of their bigger threats was INSIDE.
Slipping into a corner, he was just casually picking off a few technicians and I.O. thugs within the ensuing chaos. Was almost like shooting fish in a barrel! Of course, he didn't know that he'd be going toe-to-toe with the alpha-b***h in a matter of MOMENTS!
Meanwhile, outside, Jonah shrugged. "Well, y' did both, partner. Consider that it wasn't YOU." he said with a smirk . . . because it was hard for Jonah to crack a smile. However, he must have found something funny Brian Mason's head getting kicked around. He let out a low chuckle before kicking it himself. Up into the air . . .
. . . and almost into a low-flying Bobby Lane! He had dropped altitude after the blast to dodge the jet fighters after him. Many of which got out-maneuvered by Burnout.
"WHAT THE ********> Bobby yelped and threw it away. Unbeknownst to him, it soared a bit before sinking into a trash can in the perimeter of the facility. Thus, closing out Head Soccer.

I will take your pain away, forever and a day
If you‘d just call out my name, just whisper it
§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ "Attention Director Baiul." Alexi's voice went over the comm link as he picked up one from the foot soldiers that lay around them, dead. He held it in his hand gingerly as he looked upward into the sky, his own thoughts and facial expressions unreadable to the others around him. His companions. "You have two options. Surrender to these forces....or I come in there....drag you out...and fillet you for your troops to see so that you may never plague this planet again." His voice was almost dead silent, almost only for those in the comm link to hear. "You won't know this voice...but it knows your face. And it's inclined to perform the second option after this fiasco of yours." Alexi was not a forgiving person, it was easy to see. Came with the family name. ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§
When you feel that something‘s wrong
I‘ll shelter you and keep you warm
I‘ll never let you walk alone

(Can we say that Alexi called in the 'Cavalry'? lol)  Songbird slowly came to slowly trying to get up, Oracle's voice can be heard on everyone's comms, "Guys and gals, I just got a report from the Watchtower's sensors that SIX full squadrons of combat aircraft suddenly appeared in the air near your location literally out of NOWHERE!!! They seem to be mostly composed of FA-18F Super Hornets and F-22 Raptors and..... one heavily modified Boeing C-17. Oooooookay? The Tower's sensor's are indicating that this C-17 cargo craft is armed with advanced weaponry and has.... VTOL capabilities!?! What the heck?" Near Hex and Arrow, steam waifs up from Rogue's nearly nude unconscious form -- though Marie survived the assaults today, her costume didn't. Nightshade closes in to Rogue's location with his gladstone bag.... stopping short seeing Rogue's condition. The veteran vigilante turns toward Oliver and Jonah, "After I verify that our Southern belle is more or less okay, I don't suppose you can scrounge up some clothing for her." Dr. Powell then moved into action to check on Marie... ................... ]Whilst Arell was sneaking around, he suddenly heard a female voice bellow at him, "YOU DISGUSTING LOATHSOME FESTERING BUNION OF EXISTENCE!!!! DIE!!!!" Ivana had a long high-tech weapon leveled at the weregator and fired the particle cannon....

War Machine A deep authoritative voice enhanced through a voice modulator announces on all communication frequencies “This is War Machine, all hostile forces engaging in combat with the Xmen, Teen Titians and members of the Justice League will cease and wait to be detained by SHIELD teams. You will be taken into custody and questioned on why you are using unauthorized technology as well as radioactive material from an alien planet. If you do not stand down my team and or myself will put you down. Your acknowledgement of surrender will come in the next few seconds or my team and I will take it that you want to fight SHIELD and myself as well.
Cyclops and Green Arrow give me a sit rep on why you are here and who are these people. If you have any wounded from that explosion we picked up on our way here we have medical teams on standby.”
The modded C130 gunship back ramp opens up and an armored suit jumps out engaging jet thrusters flies out surveying the area and gets in close to provide support to Green Arrow. The streamlined armor of the Variable Threat suit dubbed War Machine was in the air. Dark grey coloring that looked black with bone white highlights gave this armor an image of a grim reaper with the added effects of a deep glowing red Arc Reactor in the chest unit and the glowing red eye inserts in the helmet. The faint sound of moving mechanize parts as the rotary cannon of the suit was moving to cover the suit’s back as if the gun had a mind of its own. Anyone who knew about the Avengers or Iron Man knew this was one of Stark’s special suits. This suit was designed to take people down with weapons outside his normal repulsor technology. The pilot was James Rhodes a close personal friend of Stark and one of the most experienced mech-suit operators in the world. Over the years Rhodey honed his skills as a pilot for the Marines to be a formidable force when he used this armor against various foes as Iron Man, an Avenger and as War Machine. While most people knew how to deal with Iron Man, War Machine was different due to Rhodey using weapons combined with hand to hand combat to take down his foes.

Arell smirked and dodged the particle blast, pulling out his trusty double-barreled shotgun. "THAT'S REALLY the best you can come up with? Have fun pluckin' buckshot out yo' a** ya c**t!" Arell growled and opened fire. Optimally, giving the I.O. leader a taste of both barrels of the large shotgun. K-BLAM!!! BLAM!!!! The familiar echo rang through the halls, just like when Arell blew Kane Rocknell asunder. However, the not-so-familiar growl of War Machine's voice caused the big Cajun to smirk. Even IF he missed and she managed to get the best of HIM. He still had to deal with James Rhodes . . . and unlike the big Cajun, he had weaponry that wouldn't just kill, but rip that b***h ten thousand new assholes before she could BLINK.

Even if Ivana Baiul were of a mind to answer to answer either Alexi Romanov's or War Machine's ultimatiums, she couldn't -- she was a little busy. The I.O. director has a Cajun to kill. Ivana spun sideways to avoid most of the shot, which ended up clipping her armored hide. The raven trussed woman snarled at Arell after quickly inspecting the hole in her dress, "That's another dress you've ruined, you dirty swamp rat!!! Why'd you come out here in the first place -- run out of gumbo!?!?" Ivana then took cover behind an open metal door in the hallway, firing the particle cannon again. Just then, four Black Talons ran into the hallway with their rifles leading. Ivana spotted their entrance in the corner of her eye, and pointed in Arell's direction, "Dispose of that swamp infestation, DAMN IT!!!!" The quartet of black armored troopers obliged with suppression fire... ............................................. The two remaining RAIDER armor troopers still airborne swiveled around seeing War Machine screaming in. The I.O. operatives knew this was it and both opened fire -- a bracket of ten mini repulsor missiles at Rhody.... This seemed to kick off a missile exchange between one SHIELD squadron and one IO sqadron, several explosions resulted showing debris with the rain... .............................................  Acting SHIELD Director Phil Coulson shook his head seeing the missile exchange on the video display in front of him. Coulson spoke into his communicator, "Well... That was expected. Gentlemen, all in. Eagle Group, take them down. War Machine, take down those two knuckleheads and pave the road, if you would."The SHIELD leader switched from his broadcast channel to contact his pilot, "May, the L-Z is going to be hot. Plan accordingly.""Acknowledged."Coulson turned toward several operatives in heavy combat gear, "As I said, the L-Z's going to be hot. Lock and load."The SHIELD commandos grimly nodded, checked their weapons and began to proceed to move to the back of the Globemaster. As an afterthought, Phil raised his hand and called at the backs of the retreating men, "And please, don't scratch Lola." The commandos chuckled at the comment, as Coulson turned to toward a young, tanned pretty brunette, "Skye, get me patched in to the X-Men's comms. I need to talk to whoever's in charge down there."

Arell rolled his eyes as he evaded the firing squad. "It was GREEK, thank you. Den I got beamed heah . . . and got captured by y'all ********> Arell growled, using the butt of his gun to clobber one of the other Talons and grabbed his gun. "So NOW, I gotta ******** up the REST of my week I was gonna use t' chill out havin' to deal with DIS s**t, AN' YOU when I could be munchin' on some Shawarma!" he growled, opening fire back at the Talons with the gun he made off of the other Talon. It was clear that when he was done, I.O. would be getting more than a whiff of the ol' Brimstone.
His computer DID however, pick up something from a very strange wavelength. He didn't answer it right away (since after all, the Cajun had his hands full with four . . . three . . . two . . . one . . . okay, just Ivana) before smirking, spinning on his heels before facing the head director.
"An' NOW . . . . I'm gonna do t' YOU, what I did t' dat yeller-bellied sumbitch Kane Rocknell!" he growled, and it was clear in his eyes that the dress wasn't the ONLY thing about to have a couple holes in it!
Meanwhile, outside of the building, Hex took off his jacket and draped it around Rogue, spotting the aircraft up ahead and let out a low whistle. "Goddamn . . . . is there anyone else about t' join the party? Or is this it?!" he asked.
And up in the air, Bobby tried to dodge the planes before finally just getting the hell out of the way, a trail of fire behind him as he just got out of there.
((Exit Bobby to Las Vegas))

As quickly as it was all breaking lose there were people that would be, and will be saved. Scott halted Kurt from his bamphing after returning to Nightshade's portal with the Kryptonian and Rogue. In nearly two flashes he had them safely to the portal as Scott asked.
"We need to wrap this up guys. Who's left! We can't stay here much longer, or we'll risk losing more people than we'll save."
Within this time Roxy, Caitlyn, Rogue, Superboy, Rainmaker, Dundee, and Amber had been brought to the portal.
"We need Bobby"
Roxy remarked. The boy who had been stuck there with the girls needed to be collected to leave."We need the arrow, Songbird and Batgirl as well."
He turned to Kurt.
"Go get them Kurt, and be careful. (Turning to the rest of the group) You all need to get in the portal now. We'll be behind you all shortly. All I need is Kurt right now to retrieve everyone else. Anyone know if the gun slingers are on our side?"Swampy-Surfer I don't know if Dundee will let them know that the other's will be fine. I'm assuming he's at Nightshade's portal too. If not we can arrange him getting there. Skuld HJG Let's begin to wrap this up. I'll post in the manor as well. xxsoullessANGELUSxx I want to know if it's okay to post for you again bro. So we can get caught up. ((Everyone, check this post and let me know what's going on. There are too many characters to keep track of at this point and we need to split them off, and wrap this up, not just for saving their lives sake but making the RP doable again. As an adult with therapy for health issues and work, I can't try to keep track of 50 characters actions as they relate to my 10 characters in a very chaotic scene.))
