Thieves & Crooks & Mercs, oh my.

[Black Canary]

Sophia wasn't really sure what she was doing. It was a sunny day in the productive and clean city of Keystone, and she could appreciate that much. She had always enjoyed a nice day, but she couldn't really think about the weather at the moment. She was nervous in a way that she wasn't entirely familiar with. It was similar to the night when she first set out as a superhero, and similar to the day when she first became a mercenary.

She hadn't seen Flash around lately, which was a good sign. Maybe he died in the war, maybe he relocated. It didn't matter. A city with no hero was always a good place to make some devious deals. And what could be more devious then setting up a tiny team of thieves and mercenaries. They could make a fortune really, if the remained logical about it all.

Still, as she sat in the chair of a very plush apartment she wondered if anyone would even show up. Maybe one or two, which was all she really needed. She peered around at all the stolen items and smiled to herself. She was quite proud of her slowly growing collection. She leaned back and propped her legs and feet up as she tried to relax and wait.

[Deadpool]

The call was quite simple. Wade had heard the word in one of the Merc' Bars he frequented. There was a small group of people amassing in the hero-less city of keystone, Where keystone was, Wade had no idea, Probably somewhere near kansas, all the freaky place was near Kansas.

It was time to head out. Doing the Weapons check (how he he loved his weapons check) He left a note for weasel to feed his fish (if he had fish) and left out. Apperantly there was some sort of plane out for it.

After a weird trip to a field where a plane was waiting, and a switch to a helicopter Deadpool was taken to a heli-pad in a rather clean city. Stepping off 'oh yuck, can you smell that air? I knew this place was near Kansas! if some hippy tries to hug me, i'm killing everybody!" Deadpool yelled out to seemingly no-one. Stepping down and looking around this city made him rather uneasy, too clean, to... nice. Stepping into where he was given the directions Deadpool eyed the one girl there snapping his fingers as he entered "And me without the wine!" walking closer and staying a safe enough distance away from the woman "names Deadpool, i'm here for the money, a badge, and the women" he remarked

[Black Canary]

Sophia spent her time waiting staring out one of the windows in the room she sat in. She wore her trademark black and teal spandex, figuring the others would also show up in costume. As she leaned back in her chari once more she caught the figure of some kind of strange man dressed in red walk by. Moments later the door swung open and he stepped in. Thieves and the like weren't exactly the kind to knock, so she had left the place unlocked for the occassion.

"Cool it", she said as she pulled her feet from their resting place and looked up at the newcomer. He seemed well built and focused, which was good enough. She smiled and held her hand out to shake. "Sophia Trenton", she offered her name casually. "Money and a badge I can promise you.."

[The Spot]

Jonathan Ohnn was one of the top thieves in the country, probably the world. So, when word got around about there being some sort of thief & mercenary team-up he was one of the first to hear about it. The meeting was in a place called Keystone, a city protected by the famous Flash, if he wasn't mistaken. He wasn't worried about The Flash, if speedy wanted to mess with him that was fine by Spot. A few properly placed warp portals and the roadrunner would be trapped in Spotworld until Jonathan decided to let him out.

It didn't take him long to reach the meeting place, after all, his main power was a form of teleporting. Once he arrived just outside the apartment, via one of his portals, he merged all of his spots into one large spot on his chest, which he covered up with a blue T-shirt he had carried with him. He ran his fingers through his medium-length black hair, and then pulled on the black jeans he brought with him over his white bodysuit. As he walked into the apartment he was surprised to see two familiar figures.

"Ms. Trenton, we meet again." The Spot said to the woman he had met not long ago in The Avenger's mansion. She might not have recognized him in his human form, but perhaps she recalled his voice.

[Black Canary]

Trenton had attempted to think of some kind of way to pass the time, or a proper topic of conversation..yet none came to mind as she bounced her eyes from item to item stored in the confines of her pretty little apartment. She felt quite bored as Deadpool poked around the rooms.

"Excuse me Mr..uhh..Mr. Pool", she said with a shrug as she walked into her kitchen. The tiny brunette leaned across the island counter of the small kitched and sighed loudly. She wasn't sure if she was ready to go through with this. A few cups of coffee later and the speedster was off the wall with a false confidence.

She strode out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in her hand to offer to Deadpool when another man entered the room. He seemed pretty average, and wore dark jeans and a t-shirt. The man knew her name and she cocked her head to one side.

"Do I know you?"

[The Spot]

"Oh, c'mon!" He said playfully as he made a warp portal on his right. He jumped through the portal, and popped out of another portal behind Trenton. "The Avenger mansion. Looking for a special vault. You said I looked delicious." Jonathan said with a sideways grin.

[Black Canary]

Trenton smirked as it dawned on her who the stranger was. She shook her head and looked downwards in amusement. "I don't think those were my exact words, Spotty..", she said glancing back at him with her bright blue eyes.

"Coffee...?", she said shoving the cup into his hands and walking away. She smiled back at the men and motioned for them to come with her.

Within moments they were in a tiny office room, and Trenton sat at a small unadorned table in the center of the unremarkable room. "I have big placs for us gentlemen. Worth millions..", she said in a breathy voice to add to the glamour and to intice them.

"We're going to ransom Pepper Potts.."

[The Spot]

The Spot's smile grew when Trenton spoke, and as he took the coffee she gave to him he gave her a small nod to show appreciation. He took a drink of the coffee, and then looked to Ms. Trenton to see her motioning for him and Deadpool.

Jonathan quickly, but casually followed behind the attractive woman, and then took a seat across from her. An expression of much glee came upon his face when she mentioned millions, but soon faded when he heard her plan. "I had no idea pepper was so valuable...or came in pots." He said in confusion.

[Black Canary]

Before the woman could go into the details of her devious little plan, Spot interrupted. She cocked a brow and shot a look to the man who sat directly in front of her.

"Well..pepper does come in jars..and some people do call jars pots. Isn't that strange?", she said with a dewy little smile. She loved random banter, she really did. "And I wouldn't be surprised if the prices of pepper had gon up...", she mused as she considered the state of the worlds economy.

"But!", she interrupted herself. "That is neither the pepper nor the pots I speak of. I'm talking about Ms. Pepper Potts, personal assistant to Tony "money bags" Stark."

She leaned back in her chair in excitement. "And I know where, when and how to get her..."

[Spiderman]

Deadpool looked at the coffee for a while wondering if he should take it, "i uh Probably, should not take coffee...bad things happen" Then another guy entered the room, plain and uninteresting. But then again, everybody was plain and uninteresting compared to Wade Wilson! well...if you asked him anyway.

The plain guy then made a portal to the girl, and instantly "ITS COOKIES AND CREAM GUY!" Pushing himself between the two and resting his hands over there shoulders (his hand on the girls was a little bit lower) and smiled. "Oh the fun were going to have us two!"

The the girl gave the plan, Pepper Potts, Bucket Heads little play thing, and already wade liked the plan "Bucket heads little play thing, sounds awesome, I should do it, i can...you know; Teleport and all!"

[The Spot]

(OOC: Spidey, you lazy git XP Whatever, I'll roll with it )

When Deadpool mentioned the ice cream again he feared that "cookies and cream" would soon become his nickname.

Spot's expression soon changed after Trenton explained, and a broad grin crept upon his face. ~This is getting good.~ He thought as he took another drink of his coffee, and then got a little more comfortable in his chair as he waited for her to go on. However, the Merc with a mouth spoke up. "You know, that's kind of my thing, Deadpool." He said in reference to Wade's last comment.

[Black Canary]

Trenton was quite pleased that the two men took so well to her little plan. Well, it was a rather large place actually. She gave a sour little look to Deadpool for only a second before it melted into a smile. These two were too funny to stay angry with.

"I've come up with a plan...or at least half of one. I figure Oreo's here could help out with it.."

She leaned forward into the table, expecting the two to do the same as she lowered her voice. "I used to be a superhero", she explained quickly. "And I worked very closely with Nightwing. He still trusts me entirely, as many do. The thing is Pepper will be at his base today. I can go in there and ask her to help me retrieve something. It would be more subtle than nabbing her in front of the others. They wouldn't be onto it for a while..."

Sophia stood up and smiled. "Shall we be off?"

[The Spot]

The Spot placed his cup on the table, and leaned backward while throwing his arms up a little. "What is it with calling me junk-foods?" His arms flopped on his legs.

When Sophia leaned forward Jonathan did likewise, and listened closely to what she was telling them. ~Interesting... Genius even.~ He thought to himself. "Let's do it." He said as he straightened his back, and smirked a bit.

[Deadpool]

Deadpool arced up "hey whaitaminute! im the teleporter here!" He went to prod a finger into him but it was like it fell through a hole, quickly withdrawing his finger he shook it like it was dirty 'remind me to never touch you again k?'

then leaning over the table 'you a super here no! but you look so good in the evil duds' he threw in the direction of the girl. "So lemme guess here, plan is you, Mr's hottie double agent here, goes in, Me an Milo here wait outside and ONE OF US" He pointed to himself "teleports the pepper chick back to here?" taking out a sword he smiled a little "lets hope the situation gets a little stabby no?"

[Black Canary]

"Gentlemen...", Trenton reprimanded the two of them for a brief moment, using a sing song tone of voice.

"Let's stay civil", she pleaded as she placed her hands on the mens shoulders. It was always a bit difficult dealing with egomaniacs, but Trenton could manage.

"You're both excellent at what you do", she cooed."I'd like for you both to show up...just on the off chance that things don't go the way we expect them to"

She smiled sweetly and took a deep breath. "Plan goes intp action now. Bludhaven is hours away...so I should be there in a few seconds", she said with a devilish grin. She tossed down two communicators onto the table. "Call you when I get Pepper alone.."

She turned to exit and then looked back. "No fighting..and don't go through my things", she sighed before zooming out of the apartment in a teal and black blur.
