Down for the count? No way....(open to all!)

[Angel]

Angel sat atop a tall building in Bludhaven. The ngiht was dark was it was going to get. It was eerily wuite and calm, except for a few taunting breezes. She stared out over the city. Her eyes were tired, worn, and dull. Though no one would suspect such dull empty eyes, used to shine with oprimism and pride, happier eyes that would light up a room. Always at this though, Angel would shake her head and remind herself that was long ago. When she was an idiot, a wannabe hero. Now she was thee rogue assassin that struck fear into the core of the biggest criminals in town. A few blurry sillhouette photos of her had been casted over the TV, and she was wanted. It seemed ironic to her, to have a price on her head.

Angel's eyes trailed to the rooftop where her feet were crouched below her. A gun held at her hands. She could see a blurred reflection in the gun. Lately, she had been doing this often. The firey red head would stare down at her gun, her weapon, and go over and over in her head what she would be doing with it. A stronger breeze made her hair whip around her face and shoulders. It broke her from her trance. It was then, her gaze gell upon a shabby ware house. This was her job, her assignment.
"Please, don't go tonight. I've seen these men. They're smarter, better. They are more dangerous than the rest, Mi'Lady!"

Lishel's pleeding words echoed in her ears. Her sweet brunette assistant was always begging her not to go on any big jobs, but this one in particular frightened her. It made Angel feel slightly ashamed of what she had done to her earlier.

"I'm sorry, Lishell. But these guys are horrid. They've killed so many...I have to take them out for what they have done!"
Angel reached to her servant and forcibly pushed her hand over her eyes. With a flash, Lishell was rendered unconcious.

Sure, they were dangerous. All of them were dangerous. Angel didn't care. It was another thing she had gotten into doing recently. For the past few months, she had been just putting her life on the line. She still had a pain in her side from a knife wound she recieved a few weeks earlier. Her powers would be able to completely read every apponent, but she rarely even used them.
Infact, she used them so litte, if she were to be killed, the amount of godly power that would emit form her body in the sudden release, would be catastrophic.

Taking a breath, Angel stood up. A black limo pulled into the lot. Of course, all these big shots owned super expensive cars. Her guess the guy in it also had scotch on one hand, and a fat Cuban cigar hangong from his dirty lips. Angel glared down at them, her cloak billowing behind her. Angel turned and walked form the building she was on. Withing seconds, she appeared in the shadows of the building, invisible to the wrechted men not twelve meters from her. These guys were feeding the almost ending war. They had many weapons and gadgets that could be used even against super humans. They had been using them to go agains the Untouchables even.

Silently, Angel took out two gaurds, pushing their pressure points or paralyzing them temporarily. The big shot bosses barely seemed to notice their security shortage until about ten out of their fifteen were missing. Quickly, the fatter one in a white suit stood and reached for his gun.
Angel leapt form the shadows and delivered a harder than necisary kick to his arm. When the guards came after her, she simply used there big overly musclura bodies and blunt force against them. Two she threw of guard and into a wall, one she grabbed his wrist and threw him into another, and the last, she leapt into the air and spun. kicking him hard in the face. The second boss, who was smaller and in a zebra print suit, seemed just stunned at the moment. He reached for his gun and Angel swiftly held her gun to the fat one's head.
"I wouldn't do that. I know you don't give a damn about this guys life, but his weapons I'm guessing only he has access to."
With a nod, the other dropped his gun.
"You idiots always fall for it..."
Angel shoved her foot into the fat man' back and kicked him forward and aimed her gun. As her finger touched the trigger, she found herself unable to shoot for a split second.

"Stay out of Bludhaven, we have enough killers there."
The words seemed almost to blind her. Then, she felt something, something that certainly wasn't good. She only barely began to turn her head, when one of the guards had creeped up behind her and slammed his foot into her shoulder blades. Angel exhalded sharply as she flew forward. The next thing she knew, she couldn't move at all. She felt weak, like her enerfy and power was being drained. It only meant one thing. Diamonds. Indeed, as she struggled to turn her head laying face down on concrete, there was a diamond pressed agains her shoulder. Now, she wasn't the one with the upper hand. The fat man grinned as he picked up the gun that had been flung from her hands.
"You think I'm an idiot? No, I've been watching you, and I know what your little problem is. You tried to take me out, now, I'm gonna take you out, Angel Assassin."

[Victor Von Doom]

Electricity violently racked the bodies of the Fat Man and his left over guard, almost instantly sending them into a horrificly painful death, causing them to fall to the ground, never to move again. Victor Von Doom walked over to the weakend form of Angel, standing over her. It wasn't often that one was saved by the Lord of Latveria, but Doom had alternative motives to this rescue, he wasn't a hero, and he didn't act like one.

He had been keeping track of Angel, it had been easy, seeing as how she radiated a large amount of godly energy from her body, telling Doom about the power that she contained inside of her. He had decided that now was the time to act, and it was a good time indeed, seeing as how he had just so narrowly saved her from death. It had also given him the oppertunity to learn of Angel's weakness, knowledge that he did not formerly posses. He picked up the diamond, it would be wise to keep it, for Doom knew that the odds of Angel complying with his plans of her own free will were low.

[green]"It perplexes me, how can one with power such as yours fall prey to these petty men?"[/green] Doom had experianced godly power coursing through his veins before, and if his plan went well, then it would not be much longer before he experianced once more...

[Angel]

Angel stared as the men were thrown away violently by a huge surge of electricity. She heard someone walking closer and turned her head just to see Doom pick up the diamond that had brought her down. As the diamone was taken away, she slowly pushed herself up on all fours. After what Doom said, she felt like throwing him into a coma.
"They were not idiots....and just who the hell are you?'
She said angrily as she pulled herself up leaning on a broken chunk from an old car. The warehouse used to be a mechanics shops and old broken down car and vehicle parts were everywhere. Maybe she could just harpoon him with one. She couldn't tell if he was gonna try anythign, all her senses and power was currently on a very low burner because of the diamond.

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom found himself slightly disappointed in Angel's response, Doom believed that these men were idiots, they were just well-prepared idiots, and she have taken that into account, but he supposed that not all beings could even come close to Doom's intellect and wisdom, but he still found himself disappointed in her none the less. He was slightly suprised to hear that she did not know who he was, not many did not know the what Victor Von Doom looked like.

[green]"I am Doom."[/green] He stuided Angel, stuided her movements, she was still weak, her recovery from being touched by the diamond was anything but instant, and he could take advantage of that, very easily. [green]"I have come here to take you to my Castle in Latveria, with or without your permission."[/green] To show Angel that she had no choice in the matter, he raised his right hand and summoned the mystical energies that obeyed him to his hand, causing a blue glow to surrond it, paired with the crackle of electricty.

[Angel]

As he introduced himself as Doom, she thought of it as an ego thing. She thought about it, but she had never heard of him before. Then again, she never really knew any of the earth heros or villains. Not after she left for Zemgartanen for so long and even as she returned. But her teeth gritted at his next words. Her pwoer was slowly returning, but only barely. Not even near enough to fight him. As energy gathered in his hand, she glared. This wasn't going to go her way. She hadn't even enough power to summon the Rozycots.

Maybe she could release the dark power that was housed inside her, but Erishkigal would surely make her loose control,, and she didn't know how far she would go. Besides, the barriers in her minde were hard to replace, and it was a long painful process. Clenching her fist, she knew she couldn't fight him, not now.
"And what do you intend to do once I get there?"
She asked, only half expecting an answer, none the less a true one.

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom watched how she reacted in response to her words, she seemed completely ignorant of who he was even after he had spoken his name, but that wasn't a problem, her origin remained unknown, but it made sense that if she held such power, that she may have come into this world from a different world, or maybe even a different plane of existance or universe itself, Doom cared not, he would have her power!

With his own mystical power, Doom could sense that she was slowly gaining power, but not nearly enough to fight him, and if she were to attempt such a thing, she would not last very long againts him. Either way, Doom was sure to get what he wanted. He proceded to take steps closer to Angel, even as she asked exactly what he planned on doing with her once they had arrived at Latveria, and for a moment he considered lieing, but it would be pointless to do such a thing.

[green]"Once we arrive at my castle, I will set about in taking your powers for my own use. If you comply with me, I will at least make your stay a comfortable, but if you fight againts it, I can make your life a living hell."[/green] Doom had already contacted his Doombots, and had ordered them to construct a cage that has diamond laced in it, enough to keep Angel at bay without the possibility of killing her.

[Angel]

Even though Angel knew she couldn't escape, she took a step back as he walked closer. It made her angry that someone would find her in such a weakened state, especially someone like him. But what mand her angrier, were his plans. He wanted to take her power. The bastard actually was going to try and steal her power.
She really had no choice, and she knew it. No way would she be able to fight him. He was too powerful compared to her rigtht now. If she had even a half the power she originally possessed, no, a fourth, she could easily take him out. But that wasn't possible...stupid diamonds. She gritted her teeth, sensing something getting closer, and they had diamonds or a substance laced with it anyways. Now she was really on the hook.
Not only would guys come after her for failing her job, even though they were dead, but some dude was going to steal her goddess powers, and she was on almost every wanted list in the south east.
"Great...."
She thought with a deep scowel as Doom was now only a foot from her.
"You sonuva bitch,"
She said blackly, glaring as if she would set him a fire with her dulled green eyes.

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom was certain that with more power, that she would be able to fight him off, possibly even render him uncouncious or more, but he didn't have to think about that, he had the upperhand, she was powerless, and she would remain that way. The odds of her escaping her, were the odds of a kitten escaping the jaws of a vicious beast, and Doom was that beast. He continued taking steps towards her, regardless of her steps back.

[green]"Does that vulgar remark mean you come peacefully? Or will I be forced to use one of these?"[/green] Doom held up both of his hands, one crackling with arcane energy, and the other holding the diamond that was the very bane of her existance, indeed, things were looking grim for this Angel. He did not wish to take her by force, but that was only because he did not wish to hurt her more then she was, he wanted her mostly intact, but taking her forcefully is something that he would be able to do, very easily...

[Angel]

This was bad. Angel knew it. Even though she hated to admit it, she knew she had to go peacefully, or else she would get hurt. And getting hurt wasn't in her option. Even though she had always thrown her life on the line fighting guys wih guns and knives, she really didn't want a diamong touching her skin again, and arcane energy just didn't sound pleasent. Even though she could usually just steal his energy away and convert it to her own, she still needed a small amount of Mecoria energy to convert it, which she didn't have.
"I really don't have a choice, now. Do I?"
She replied.
Man, when she got out of this...if she got out of this....he was going to be sent to a place far worse than Hell.

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom found himself quite pleased as he watched the defiance deflate from Angel, he had won this battle, and soon he would have her godly powers! He stopped stepping towards Angel, the arcane energy disappearing from his hand, but he kept the diamond on hand, letting that go would not be a wise thing to do, this girl now had a grudge for him, and she would take the first chance she got to harm him, and possibly kill him. With the flick of his wrist, a mystical portal of energy appeared, obviously leading to his land of Latveria.

He grabbed Angel by the arm, not caring how she felt about this, and dragged her into the portal, bringing them to his beloveded country, and to the place where she will lose all of her mighty powers...
