WE ARE A GO FOR JAILBREAK
Who: Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Stephen Strange, Thor Odinson, Loki, Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Daisy Johnson, Wanda Maximoff, Brock Rumlow, and OPEN TO ALL
What: Prison Break!
When: Thursday
Rating: TBD

The upstate New York Avengers facility still had that ‘new car’ smell, since it had barely been used. Several quinjets were waiting in a large hangar at one end of the main building. Steve and Bucky arrived first, as Doctor Strange began portaling people to the location. Finally, they were officially… assembled.

Assignments:

First team: Steve, Nat, Clint, Loki, and Wanda head in to locate Tony and incapacitate as many guards on the way as possible. Loki and Wanda can use magic to clear the way stealthily. Steve, Nat, and Clint can disable people quickly while they search for Tony. Stealth is key here.

Second team: Thor, Valkyrie, Gamora, Peter, Rumlow, and Bucky are the second wave when the alarm is sounded and they have to fight their way out. Stealth is no longer an issue so this is the time for the heavy guns.

Daisy and Strange will remain at the Avengers HQ.
Daisy will be monitoring Raft prison re-emergence schedule, since they are trying for stealth, and some official or other is surely stopping by to question Tony.
Strange will be standing by on a quinjet for medical transport.

This was the first real mission Valkyrie would be in since the whole Sakaar business, and she found herself more than ready for breaking anyone out of prison, let alone kindred-spirit Tony Stark. She felt no need to speak while the man in charge did, and not due to the noise. While used to leadership Val was all for teamwork these days and leaving the responsibility of calling the shots to someone else. Their directive was simple enough, and Val was pleased to be working with Thor for obvious reasons.

She approached him when he beckoned her to, protecting her eyes from the fierce ocean breeze while Thor pointed to their apparent entrance. Not one to sit still while others did the work Val grabbed where she could and helped the Thunder god pull the door off the hatch, which they finally did with a decisive thunk, after which Val set the piece down unceremoniously and slid into the opening. At the bottom, she waited for Thor to join.

Thor climbed into the hatch and dropped to the floor in a ready crouch before straightening up. They could already hear the sound of clashing off in the distance.

"We are in," he said over the comm. He nodded at Valkyrie. She was a worthy partner in this undertaking, and he was glad to have her beside him. He did, however, wonder how Loki was faring. "Let us join the fray. They will need our might to take the day," he said, striding towards the sounds of fighting. He shot her a grin as they went. Though it was a serious undertaking, and they needed to do as they were told and try not to kill any of the government guards, he couldn't pretend that he did not enjoy fighting. And winning.

While Thor updated the others over the comm Valkyrie paid attention to the sounds of fighting in the distance, motioning towards it with her eyes when Thor looked at her.

"Don't they always?" She joked, smirking as she tried to keep up with Thor's much longer strides on account of his much longer legs. She met his grin with one of her own, drawing her sword as they approached. Then, she stopped and thought better of it. "The man said no killing, didn't he? Very well."

Before they arrived to the fight proper Val sheathed her sword again and cracked her knuckles. The first guard she saw, who walked decisively their way to try and quell whatever invasion this was, was met with a punch square in the stomach. The man doubled over and expelled the contents of his stomach on the floor, barely missing Val's boots. Before moving on, she turned to Thor. "This cannot be healthy but I suppose it's better than death."

As usual, he was impressed with her fighting skills. Thor was not carrying a weapon of any sort, so he joined the melee fists swinging, too. He felt for the man who lost his lunch from the Valkyrie's brutal blow to the stomach. "I am sure he will be grateful for your mercy... some day," he said, grinning.

As they swung into action, kicking and punching and dodging bullets. They left many unconscious men in their wake as they moved forward through the facility. He felt as though they ought to be nearing some of the other teams.

"We have cleared the eastern most corridor, heading around towards you now," he said over the comm. He looked over to see the Valkyrie knock out another man, and he high fived her as they moved closer to the other side of the building.

Now, this Rumlow knew. He had no superpowers but he had guns, and this was what he did. He and Barnes had worked together before, and they fell back into a habit. Barnes went first, disabling who he could and drawing fire, and Rumlow followed, picking off stragglers. The hardest part to remember was to use nonlethal force if possible, so leg shots or a well placed rifle butt were the order of the day.

He didn't take unnecessary risks, but neither did he shy away from danger. They made good progress, and barely had to speak to each other.

Bucky heard Thor's message clearly. "Copy that. We'll try not to shoot you," he said over the comm. Bucky wasn't doing much shooting, but he felt better holding a gun, anyway. For a lot of their progress, he'd been back to back with Rumlow. The corridors were not that wide and there were guards coming from all sides. This was one thing that Bucky remembered much too clearly.

He spotted Thor first, and in another moment they had reduced all of the combatants to unconscious lumps on the floor. With a quick glance around, it was clear they the action had moved further in. He motioned for them all to follow him down an intersecting corridor that ran south. He didn't talk much during a mission. He lead the way, since he was the best suited for deflecting bullets.

Rumlow stayed close to Barnes. They might have been trying not to kill anyone, but it their opponents had no such compunctions. He scanned the corridor ahead constantly, knowing that the slightest movement, if detected, could be the difference between life and death.

He might be the most vulnerable one of the group, but he wasn't hiding behind anyone. If he died, he died. It might actually be a relief.

Thor kept pace with them, as they moved closer to the sounds of things crashing and breaking in the near distance. "Have they got Stark yet?" he asked, as they swept through the oncoming guards. It appeared that the strategy of the government was to send more and more soldiers, which was a terrible idea. They were easily disabled, even with guns.

He kept an eye on the Valkyrie, but she was right with them, taking down men as consistently as the rest. And again Thor wondered if anyone had heard from Loki. He wasn't concerned that his brother was injured, rather that he was staying out of trouble.

	Bucky was concentrating on getting to where the fighting was the worst, and he could hear it. The corridor split off, and Bucky nodded towards the other direction. "I think they have Stark, but they're being swamped back there. Two of you need to go that way," he said, nodding towards it. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rumlow nodded. "I'll go." He didn't want to leave Barnes' side, but the soldier didn't need his protection. He flattened himself along the wall and edged toward the corner, making sure no one was coming along it yet. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

Thor could see that the human named Rumlow was an able fighter in his own right, but more fragile than the rest of them. Considering himself the strongest among them, it made sense that he should accompany the weakest. "I shall take this route as well. Good fighting, and we shall each other when it is done." He nodded to the Valkyrie, before following Rumlow.

Thor could tell that the smaller man was full of pride and would not take well to reminders of his weakness. He tried to walk beside, rather than in front of him, while still trying to shield him as well as he was able. He punched through several guards as they neared the thicker fighting, trying to see who was fighting who.

Valkyrie wasn't too pleased with being left with a stranger while watching Thor move along with someone else, but on the other hand, when had she ever failed to adapt? She nodded to Thor, adding in a wink for good measure.

As she had been left with the metal-armed man in charge of this team, Valkyrie deferred to him, looking up while punching someone off the left of her peripheral vision. "So what's our plan? Same thing we've been doing?"

Bucky was monitoring what was coming over the comm when he heard Steve say that Loki was trying to get Stark's suit, and coming under fire in the process.

He vaguely remembered from the earliest days of HYDRA when some of the higher ups were still obsessed with norse legends, about the Valkyrie. From what he'd seen of her so far, the legends paled in comparison to reality. "Loki is up ahead, trying to get Stark's suit, and he's coming under fire," he said, progressing down the hallway as he got her up to speed. "They've got Stark himself. Now it's just a matter of getting everyone out."

And then they turned a corner and spotted Loki, and the guards who were fighting a losing battle. Bucky stepped into the path of the bullets, covering himself with his left arm so he could get closer. "Help him get the door open," he called out.

Bucky hardly needed to say anything else before Valkyrie was up and running almost faster than he was along the corridor. This time she did keep up with this man's larger strides on account of his larger legs.

"Alright this has gone better than I expected." She commented just as they turned the corner. She nodded once at Bucky, saying something nice about his arm in passing before running then sliding under the fire line to pull at least two guns which she broke over her knee before continuing onto the door.

The door was reinforced, as expected, much better than most doors on this planet. Alas that was still not good enough for two pissed off Asgardians being shot at. Val winked at Loki as she appeared in his view and started legitimately beating on the hinges, then going to town on the door with Dragonfang.

Loki smirked in response to Val's wink and threw up so many illusionary clones of each of them, that it was difficult for any remaining guards to shoot at the right target. He shielded them from any stray bullets, which took a considerable amount of concentration. Not so much that he couldn't speak at the same time.

"Are you getting the door, darling? I would so hate to intrude in your attempt to slay it."

It was impossible not to let out a pleasantly surprised laugh as she looked around herself to see multiples of herself moving independently and confounding the enemy. Loki might be a little shit - he was one - but he was an efficient, talented little shit.

She looked to him again as he seemed unable to help himself from spouting sass even in the middle of battle, and snorted. "I'm breaking the hinges, preciousness, how 'bout you use your considerable strength to punch inward on the opposite side?!"

"As the lady decrees."

The efficient and talented little shit gave her a mock bow, and then did as told. The door gave way, landing with a thud like a drawbridge allowing entrance into a magnificent castle. Although, really, there wasn't much in there except some confiscated weapons, and a very badly busted up Iron Man suit.

Loki glanced over at Val with a sly smile. "Do you wish to carry this, or shall I hide it away for safe keeping? I would so hate to interrupt the sight of you carrying your drunken comrade's armor over your shoulder."

As soon as Loki was up to his sardonic flourishes Val shook her head and finished knocking one hinge to the ground while the other was a clump of twisted, useless metal. She put the sword away while Loki pushed the rest of the door down, and then mock-cheered with a very small 'wheeeey!' while raising her arms only up to her chest.

"No, keep it safe. No point in running risks like that." Val replied, because as much as she'd like to stride triumphantly onto where Stark was kept and hand him his suit herself, the smart thing to do was to keep it away from damage. "I'll carry him instead, perhaps. Shall we go deliver? I'll cover your rear."

Fighting was second nature to him, and these guys weren't HYDRA level soldiers. Their aim was crap and they fell for the simplest of ruses. He moved as fast as he could, without taking too many chances. He wished he could stay near Barnes but it wasn't like he needed his protection.

They made their way down the corridor. He could tell they were getting close by the sheer number of guards they had to dispatch.

Thor had no difficulty punching his way through. He was wary about using anything extra like bolts of electricity, because they were in a metal building in the ocean. He didn't want to inadvertently electrocute every human inside.

All corridors seemed to converge on a central location, because the sound was increasing as they progressed. He could see Barton and the Black Widow through the seemingly inexhaustible stream of guards. "Let us make our way towards them," he called out to the man called Rumlow.

Rumlow spared a glance at the huge blond man, and nodded his assent. Then he focused again, Fighting his way through, reminding himself why he was doing this. Hopefully if he got killed (again) Barnes would know he was serious about making amends.

He would really rather not die, though. He stayed close to Thor, because he didn't want to lose him, and he was excellent cover. Slowly they made their way to Barton and Romanoff.

Thor beat back the guards as they progressed, doing his best not to kill anyone in the process, though it wasn't easy. Subtlety was not his forte. He could see that they had Stark, and were heading towards them, trying to make it back to the exit.

He turned to Rumlow again. "Cover them. I shall try to hold off any more coming this way," he barked out. He was too used to giving orders to stop now. He and Rumlow parted to flank and then cover Widow and Barton as they started making their way out.

As everyone on the mission had been given the 'try not to kill anyone' memo, any number of guards that had been knocked out cold in the first wave were stumbling up to their feet again, and a surge of combatants made their way towards them.

Yeah, now that he was away from the big blond indestructible one he knew he was fucked. Oh well, nothing for it but to keep going. He was trying not to kill, which took longer--leg shot, then a blow to the head if they didn't stay down, kick the gun out of reach--but he was making progress.

Not fast enough, though. From his position, he could see down an adjacent corridor and another contingent was making its way fast up behind Romanoff and Barton.

"Fuck," he swore, moving faster than he wanted to. "Barton. Your seven o clock. Coming up fast." There was no response, and he remembered he had to switch channels if he wanted to address anyone but the tea leaders. No time for that. "Barton! Look out!" he yelled, running now, throwing himself into the junction of the corridors, sliding across on his side, firing at the oncoming troops.

Who started to fire back, of course, but the fact that he was basically on the floor meant most of their shots went high, but at least they weren't aimed at Romanoff, Barton or Stark. He felt a burning sensation in his shoulder that meant he'd been hit, but it wasn't that bad--a glancing blow--as the opponents went down.

Tony was concentrating on moving, and trying not to lean on anyone too much. That was even more embarrassing than not being able to strut out of there like he wished he could, with two middle fingers held high the entire time.

Since Clint was nearby, that shout certainly got his attention and Tony looked over just in time to see Brock Rumlow going Commando (the Schwarzenegger movie, not the whole without underwear thing because that would be far more awkward). And taking a bullet for it, too.

He tried to point - since the HYDRA zombie actually tried to save Barton - but his whole right arm was in a sling and moving swollen fingers was not happening. Instead, he blinked back at him with wide eyes as he was shuffled off to safety at a much faster pace than before.

"Um," Tony said as loud as he could, "we've got a zombie down! Someone help our zombie, please?"

Steve stepped out of the line of fire so he could talk on the comm.

"Roger that. Strange, we have Tony. Can you portal him out yet? We also have one other injury."

He changed to general comms. "Listen up, team. We have Tony. He's injured but he's going to be okay. Fall back as soon as safely possible and follow extraction protocol. we'll meet back at HQ for debriefing.

"Thank you all, you did a great job. See you back home."

He intended to be the last one off the raft. He wasn't leaving until everyone was safe.
