Who: You! If you wanna be there!
What: Their Vegas trip turns into an Alien Attack!
Where: Las Vegas, Alternate dimension of some sort.
When: The next day


Peter had one hell of a hang over, and the details of the night before were more than a little bit foggy. The details of which would no doubt start filtering back to him slowly over time. But as he looked out on the early morning sunrise over the strip he frowned looking out over the horizon.

There were lights, and not just the Vegas lights, not the neon of casinos and spot lights encouraging people to come out and spend their nights and days throwing away their money, but hovering lights, that were rapidly approaching. But even that wasn't enough to really clue him in - not until the first laser beam shot out of one of the ships (they were ships!) and blasted the replica Eiffel Tower did Peter get it.

They were under attack, here of all places. Hung over and not at all dressed for the occasion. This was his punishment he thought, for what he and Carol had gotten up to since their arrival.

"Come on! Move move move!" Peter was already moving, he might not have the suit and well he might not be from here but he wasn't about to let people get hurt.

Carol was pretty sure she regretted last night. Her head was pounding from whatever the hell she'd consumed, and she ached from sleeping on the floor of a jail cell. Not to mention somehow she was in a dress- how the hell did that happen?

But none of that mattered now. Because before she could stagger back to the doors, she heard Peter shout something and looked up. Seriously? While those around her were looking panicked and running away, pointing and staring in disbelief, Captain Marvel was just wishing she'd brought her suit along. Flying in this get up was going to be a pain in the ass.

"Of course this is happening now."

It'd been a pretty exciting adventure out into Vegas, that was sure. Air conditioning was a wonderful thing, and there were a lot of activities that a young buck like himself could participate in. It wasn't all booze and gambling, even though a lot of it was.

And then the proverbial shit hit the proverbial fan. Well, maybe there was actual shit and actual fans, but the more important things to worry about at the moment. Like aliens.

Thankfully, Peter thought to bring his Suit with him when he came through the Doors into this Vegas. And he was able to change into it super fast, to get out there and start... helping. But where to start??

And then Peter saw Carol. He headed straight for her. "Hey! What--? What...?" What what, right?

Valkyrie | Not so Old Ben
[info]findsherway
2019-08-18 11:37 pm UTC (link)
How she had managed to walk around all night was anyone's guess. Actually, it wasn't hard to guess. She'd met a few more people from town, and she found herself wondering. Or wandering.

Thankfully the shoes they'd purchased with their winnings, and she had no idea how they won like they had, were good for walking around. The dress wasn't bad, showed a little more skin than she was used to, especially in the leg area. And the back of her neck felt very bare; she'd given in to temptation. Klaus had been very supportive through the whole experience.

She didn't feel like a new woman, and when things started going off, she felt like a damn fool. Fighting in a dress? Without a sword? Where was Shuri? Klaus? Nyx? Her lips pursed a little. She'd find them, and she'd make with the saving.

"Get out of the street!" She started ushering people out of the way. "Stop staring and go!" She yelled at one couple who started filming with their phones. She couldn't believe that anyone would just stand there like that. "Move!" She demanded, and that seemed to work, even if she was just called 'bitch.'

Ben hadn't planned on going through the doors that day. He had no idea what Vegas was and he wasn't sure he wanted to know But, it appeared that most of the town had disappeared through the doors, and eventually he simply grew bored. And maybe a bit curious.

He'd arrived an hour or so before, exploring the town for a time, though he was a bit disappointed to realize that it was mostly just casinos. Ben knew well enough how corrupt these places were- but what he didn't expect was a panic. Looking around in confusion, his eyes traveled upward to the ships. An attack.

There was shouting and someone screaming at people to get out of the streets, and his eyes turned and caught someone pushing people out of the way. He knew her from Starklanida and he quickly hurried over to help her.

"I'd do as she said if I were you," he warned the angry man, meeting the woman's eyes and nodding.

"Do you know what they are?"

Aliens. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Just what Peter needed with a throbbing headache and the events of the night before still foggy in his mind. But he didn't have time to deal with any of that, or the quite frankly obscene amount of polyester he was currently wearing or the fake mustache and instead he was going to do what he did best, regardless of his lack of suit.

Thankfully he didn't go anywhere without the webshooters these days, the suit had been hanging since he arrived, but the webshooters? Those were a constant.

So he was able to practically lasso a couple of tourists and pull them out of the way of falling debris. "Get out of the way you guys come on!" He shouted. "Find some cover! This isn't a drill." Sure he got a couple of looks, no doubt because of his get up, but the reality of the situation seemed to be settling in on a lot of them and Peter could focus on dealing with the matter at hand.

Miles had been following Peter and the others back toward the door when all hell broke loose. At first, he wasn't sure what Peter was going on about and then it was way, way too clear. Because of course, they were under attack. His Spidy-senses were tingling and he actually ran toward a family of three, grabbing a piece of falling debris and tossing it out fo the way before it could hit them. "Go- get inside somewhere!"

To think, just a few minutes ago he was cracking up at Peter and Carol and terrified of Tony and now this? Was anything ever gonna just be normal for him ever again???

"Okay, uh....what do we do??" He looked at Peter, hoping Sonny Bono over here had a plan to stop the big ships above them. Or at least find out what the heck was going on.

Vegas was a really fucking weird city, man. And it smelled like a combination of weed and ass. That was really the only way to describe the scent that just every so often wafted right into your nose and settled there for a good thirty seconds filled with cringing.

What was even weird? Aliens. Alien invasion/attacks in a city like Vegas was just so -- well, it was kind of predictable so why would they want to go there where they'd be expected? Maybe the lights were like a beacon, kind of like moths being drawn to flames?

"Shit," she uttered under her breath, and took off running. Her Spidey-sense was kicking into high gear as she turned around. "Heads up!" She called out to some guy in a costume that she thought was probably supposed to be some kind of Greek god. He also had a cigar in his mouth. She aimed her wrist and tried to release her webbing but nothing happened. Just kind of an anti-climactic puff of air. "Ah, man. I never thought I'd want the humidity from town but dry heat is not cool right now." She ran for the smoking Zeus and managed to knock him out of the way before a street lamp fell over where he'd been standing. "Hey, go in there," she said, and motioned to Caesar's Palace. "You look the part."

She ran back out into the street where there was some strung out guy in a Spider-Man costume. "Oh geez, are you this world's Spider-Man? Please say no." The guy was high as a kite and said something about the rapture coming so she just shoved him toward Caesar's too and kept running.

"Oh my god, Sonny Bono are you this world's Spider-Man?!"

Well someone had had a good night.

Clint wasn't sure about Peter, but he sure as hell had.

Mind, this wasn't the best next-day situation for him, but -- well. That was life, and Clint wasn't even all that surprised by it. One day was all about Elvis proclaiming your hunka hunka burning love to be combined in matrimony or whatever and the next was alien invasions.

Clint only went without a bow until he maybe sort of raided one of those places that boasted gun and crossbow target practice. Either way, he was armed now, so that was cool.

"Pete!" He called out, cheerful despite the not-drill and explosions. "Lookit you!"

Aliens! Cool. Cool cool cool cool -- oh. Not all that abnormal, honestly.

Well, the invasion thing was kinda crappy, but Quill had to admit he'd seen it all before. Good for him and everyone else, he was hella armed already -- his two usual blasters in his hands and his brand new one on his belt, too. Because why not have three?

Oh, and rocket boots. But he always had those too. It made it easy, so easy, to zoom past who he assumed was the half bar owner of Pancho's who also might be Sonny Bono now, but like, also spiderman?

"Eye on the sky, buddy," he said, blasting at some of that debris to break it up into smaller and less lethal bits. "There'll be no turnin' back time if you get clobbered by rocks!"

So, there was an alien invasion going on. That was different. Hel, it was practically exciting, considering how dull everything else seemed to be lately and Loki thought, well, it might be sort of fun to just fight for the sake of it. He had no stakes in this battle, didn't care much about what happened or didn't to this Alternate Door version of Las Vegas but --

The Eiffel Tower exploded in a bang of bright lights and he Loki simply watched from a nearby roof where he'd decided to take a seat and see how things were going to go down for a bit before joining in. He was cleaning underneath his fingernails with a dagger and wondering where, exactly, his brother had gone off to.

Maybe some good could come of this. With a little bit of scheming, of course.

Loki / Nyx
[info]insomniashero
2019-08-19 03:40 am UTC (link)
Loki didn't care for this world or it's people, but Nyx cared for all people and all worlds. Oddly. Now Nyx was tired. The thing he was able to learn about Vegas was that it was easy to spend the entire night away. So, that was what he ended up doing. He was awake for far too many hours. Though during the swallowing of cheap casino coffee while standing on the strip, he became painfully aware of the now sudden invasion. People were running past him in a panic and his eyes went to the sky.

An airship? That was odd. With a casual tip in his head he held his coffee watching the airship move about. Then a flash later and a brilliant explosion, Nyx's eyes shot wide as he watched the structure known as the Eiffel Tower explode.

It was an attack. Instinct took over as the coffee was dropped and he went reaching for one of his blades. Gone. Not with him, because why would he bring his weapons on a vacation. Looking around he spotted an officer trying to help people get away. Nyx ran up. "Weapon." He ordered. The officer looked at the gun in his hand then to Nyx. "Not that, THAT." He pointed at the baton on his belt, which the officer reluctantly handed over. Now with something to throw, Nyx started pumping the club with magic and threw it far allowing him to start his warping about. One warp chained with another as he caught the weapon till he was high in the air near the flying attack vessel. Feeling himself float for that brief second before he started to fall, Nyx willed as much power from the ancient magic that pumped through his body, and fire balled the hell out of the ship.

Watching his magic tear the floating vehicle like paper, Nyx started his fall aimed at a building, which he came in quite hot. Landing hard he rolled to his feet with a grunt. Then his eyes looked to the smoldering club. Well, that was short lived. Tossing it aside he glanced up seeing Loki just relaxing. Blinking some he pointed. "Loki." Yup, Nyx was puzzled you could say. "Not fighting?"

2019-08-19 10:56 pm UTC (link)
Finally.

Thor wouldn't ever wish anything terrible on anyone, especially a whole populated city but this was something where he could possibly help people and that was something he'd been wanting to do very much. He needed it, in fact.

He'd wandered into a building that resembled a castle and was called the Excalibur. It was where that show was that boasted the Thunder from Down Under name. Thor thought it clever and possibly devoted to him because they were all of muscular build and the whole 'thunder' name. It was a stretch, but Thor wasn't always known for his sound logic.

After obtaining several drinks, he heard the explosion outside and immediately ran out. Yes, there was an alien invasion going down and they'd just blown up some sort of wiry looking structure. "Brother!" He called out to Loki, who just happened to be there. He knew Loki hadn't summoned this alien army. Much as his brother loved tricks, he'd been without resources to do anything of this scale. Unless it was all a trick.

"Is this an illusion, or are these people truly in peril?"

Carol had been fighting against the aliens for a little while now, having managed to fly up and take one of the ships out pretty easily, though the resulting debris had been something else. She'd spent time catching it and then guiding the remains of the ship away from the city, realizing that simply punching THROUGH the goddamn thing over a crowded metropolis wasn't going to work.

But the ordeal and the hangover were taking it out of her and she landed to catch her breath, the dress she woke up wearing was definitely worse for wear.

"Wotcher?" John hadn't actively been looking for Carol, mind, because he was minding his own business all while throwing fireballs at some of the smaller, low flying ships. And making shields. So many shields. Someone had to stop all these idiot citizens from being crushed by stuff, after all.

But, well. There she was -- Carol. Dressed up like she'd had a great night all without him and looking a little weary for it. He'd seen hungover enough to know what it looked like, and that was definitely where Carol was at. "Wouldn't have taken you for a Cher fan," he said, even as he drew a spell out in fire in front of him, gearing up for a bigger move.

The night prior was incredible. The absolute greatest. Fuck the actual whole day was incredible. It was a day of fun in the sun at the pool. Dining, gambling, and incredibly adult activities in their room that they got. The whole day was good. Hell they had even gotten some items for their home, to make things much more comfortable. Like the small little window air conditioner. Vegas being a hot desert of it's own, it was expensive and they were pretty far and few between, but they got one to put in their room. Which John went back to install immediately, so their pets could get out of the heat. Which he was thanked by them as they all rushed into the bedroom as it cooled.

But that lead to the next set of events at hand. Waking up to explosions.

It rocked John to the core, as he rolled and covered Kitty immediately confused what had been happening. Looking around as he heard more fighting and explosions. His eyes went to Kitty as he mouthed What the fuck? and rolled from the bed they were sharing. Being naked he focused on pants first as he pulled them on rushing to the window. Looking out, his eyes landed on the attack on Vegas. "Um.." John said as he looked to Kitty who was now getting dressed too. "Invasion." He said with a weird look. "As in alien, not government."

John ran from the window a she started pulling the rest of his clothes on. "What's our play?" She was the hero here, so he knew she wasn't running.

Their day in Vegas had been most needed and between the swimming and the fun they'd had they were still able to take care of a couple of necessities before they'd retired for the night. Only to have a very rude awakening.

Kitty knew those sounds, the sound of attack, and a fight happening - it was not the nice sort of vacation morning she'd hoped they would have, her hair was a wreck and her clothes were strewn about the room leaving her rolling out of bed to find them as quickly as she could so they could do something about the apparent invasion outside. "Aliens? Come on." She grumbled pushing her hair back from her face as she looked out the window at what they were facing.

"Okay, first priority is the civilians, getting them out of the line of fire. Next would be any low flying ships." She said taking stock, trying to make sure she saw enough of what they were dealing with to come up with a plan that would actually help and not hinder.

"There's gonna be a lot of fire down there, use it." She told him. One of the few time she wanted him to bring those abilities out in full force. "I need to find a way to get up there." She said of the ships, trying to decide what to do. If Piotr was here, she'd have him throw her, but that wasn't an option at the moment. She'd have to come up with something else. But for now priority one.

"You ready for this?" She asked him. Knowing this was a bit of a different situation for him. She regularly ran into the middle of things not exactly like this, but near enough. As for John - well his was a different side.

She was out on the street as quickly as she could get there, by then the damage was already clear, smoke rising from the sides of buildings, gaping holes and piles of burning rubble left behind. The blasts continued again and again, setting landmarks alight and throwing debris crashing to the ground, once lit signs sparking and shorting as they were destroyed. There were residents of the city all around, in panic and Leia didn’t immediately spot anyone she recognised - or ..felt, as such, though she wasn’t entirely trained to use her abilities in this situation, not yet.

But that was fine, she’d never needed the Force in battle before.

She couldn’t help but wish she’d tucked either of her weapons away somewhere - she’d been too relaxed, thoughtless it seemed now. Added to the fact she was still dressed in the clothing she’d worn the evening before to dinner, hardly practical at all in this situation, but she couldn't care about her finery being ruined, even if it was of an Alderaanian vintage. A battle and she was in a kriffing dress, see this is why she preferred near anything else. Without a weapon, she wasn’t equipped to fight, but she could help, she could do something - getting civilians off the streets would be it. Panic was human nature, especially if combat wasn’t something they were more accustomed to - and it could drive people to freeze as equally as it could drive them to flee. As she hurried down the street, encouraging anyone she saw to keep moving away from the street and toward cover.

“Come on- you’ve got to get out of here.” She’d found a group of three, huddled. With some coercion they half-stood, hunched as Leia moved in beside them, careful to punctuate her instructions by gesturing where to go, looking to be sure they understood. “We’re going to head this way- away from this area and take cover as we go.” The attack seemed centralised, but there was no way of telling yet - regardless, huddled behind a still vehicle in the road was not a safe place to be. “This way first.” she indicated, again pointing and moving them on with her.

When the blast hit the car, they were fortunate to have made enough distance to only be thrown by the shock-wave. Leia didn’t remember so much about hitting the ground, or how long she was there for, just that her ears were ringing, loudly and her head was pounding as she lifted it to try and see any of the civilians around her. As Leia tried to lift herself on her arms, a searing pain ripped through her left shoulder and she crumpled again, a red laser bolt sailing right by her head - a foreign, barking sort of ‘Ack ack’ sound, a language she’d never heard before some distance behind her. With gritted teeth, Leia made to scramble to her feet, still concerned about the people she'd been with.

Leia Organa // Galen Marek

Galen had been on his way back to town from his entire night out on the town. In fact, Galen was almost back to the door with a large backpack full of stuff he decided was coming back with him. Some food, some items for the house, nothing crazy. His plan was going to be simple - go home, eat something with Lucario, and sleep the entire day away in the ridiculous heat that was pounding the town.

Though even the best laid out plans were often ruined by some sort of unseen circumstance. Well, not his plans. He was already almost home, and had no reason to stay.

Then he felt it. Leia. Starkiller dropped the bag and spun around. His eyes watched as the attack rolled out. Weird space crafts blowing up structures and weird alien races coming out of landed spacecrafts. "Leia." Spoke, while he pushed out hard with the Force. Letting it span across touching and feeling for her. Eyes wide while watching the destruction happen. People getting vaporized and some humans fighting back the best they can.

Then he had her. Narrowing his eyes, Galen took off at a full sprint run. Red lightsaber in hand. Using the Force, he pushed himself to the edge of his abilities. Staying hyper focused on the woman's location through the Force, he only cut down who was in his way. Human or alien alike. Starkiller had no interest in saving people, just one person. Seeing the explosion in a distance and feeling the pain from Leia - sent poor Starkiller into a rage.

Seeing masses of troops moving about, the Sith flew into action. The first few close to him were cut down by the red lightsaber with ease. Then he lunged forward cutting one clear in half. There that cured the immediate response to Leia's life, but he wasn't done. There was so many more of these weird aliens here. Pushing his hand out he grabbed on another suited creature and Force threw it at a building, painting part of that wall in it's blood. In a short amount of time, Galen would make very efficient work of most of the aliens, and even one of the ships - using the Force to pull it down and crash it into one of the buildings causing a large explosion.

Turning his attention to Leia, he helped her. "Leia." He could sense her pain. "Tell me. What is hurt." Turning his head from her still listening he held his hand out and crushed the helmet in on the poor aliens skull.

Well, this was shitty. After a very lovely afternoon and possibly too many drinks (okay, almost too many drinks. Possibly almost too many drinks.) Kate was very much looking forward to going home. She wanted to sleep in her own bed, even if Starklandia was too freaking hot. But was she going to go home and get some rest? Not if fate had anything to say about it.

It felt like it came on suddenly, but maybe that was just Kate's perception. She was in one of the casinos cashing in, thinking the money would probably be a good thing to bring along with her whenever she went through the Doors--just in case--when people started shrieking and running around the casino, talking about the end of the world and aliens and all kinds of crap.

Kate rushed as best she could through the traffic, feeling very much like a fish swimming upstream as she tried to get outside. Once there she looked up and saw the space ships, along with people battling them, and little green men landing to terrorize people. Jesus.

"Get inside! Sir, open that door!" Using her most authoritative voice, she started ushering the people on the street into the casino. "Get in, keep moving! Go all the way back!"

Well this was new. Aliens in Vegas. Could things be any more cliche? Tony doubted it, but here they were dealing with aliens and ruining his very nice holiday thank you very much. He just hoped he could grab what he'd picked up before they ended up back home again - he'd gotten some really great shirts that he really wanted to come back with him. So you know priorities.

At least he had the armor with him, so that was helpful and he was able to deal with some of the smaller ships in the air with a few well aimed missiles, sending them falling into the desert.

Turning his attention to the street below Tony saw some of the others from town jumping into gear helping to get the civilians off the street and back inside where they could be out of the worst of it. And then he saw a sign fall, tumbling off the face of a hotel and down to the street, right where someone was standing looking like she was urging people to move.

Swerving quickly Tony changed course headed right for the falling debris, and catching before it could do any real harm, though he was fairly certain that he'd end up feeling that particular impact later on. Still, better than a squished hero. After he dropped the sign onto the street he flew back to her just to make sure she was actually okay and he wasn't congratulating himself too early. "You okay?" He asked her.

Las Vegas had not been as interesting as she hoped it might be. Nebula had to fend off so many requests for pictures since she had stepped through the door and into this world - still too hot, but not quite as suffocating as the town had been. And for all that Las Vegas had to offer she found that it was far too small for what she had thought it might be. She had seen any number of hedonistic dens of pleasure in her time across the galaxy, this was no different, and far tamer than many had been.

But when the attack came?

Nebula was glad they had come. This was what she had been missing, what she had been ready for ever since the illness had found a way to weaken her. She needed a fight like this, and with Gamora by her side, these fools would forever rue this day they decided to attack this place.

She had her pistols of course, but her batons were always preferred when she could fight close like this. And these creatures did not seem to shy away from this kind of combat. Nebula brought her batons down on either side of the helmet worn by one of them shattering the glass and watching as it struggled to breathe and then fell. "That was not what I had hoped." She said with a sigh turning toward her sister.

Gamora was tired of the pictures, she was tired of threatening to break arms and she was tired of Las Vegas. Although she had liked the air conditioning and had taken a shine to Blackjack which she'd played happily with Quill the night before. Drinks and cards, Gamora liked that, almost as much as she liked resting her hand on his knee under the table. But that had been yesterday, this was now.

Now was the knife in her hand plunging through the neck of the thing that lunged toward her sister. "What is wrong with them that they can't breathe?" Gamora huffed as she kicked one hard in the chest and sent it falling back away from the people gathered to one side, shielded behind a large car.

It wasn't much of a challenge, but it felt good to flex her muscles and fight without holding back to avoid any hurt.

"I need to find Quill," Gamora said as she glanced around. Of course he could take care of himself, he was a Guardian and all. But he was her Guardian and really she did prefer when he was where she could see him, not getting into any trouble without her.

Klaus and OTA (probably just one on this one though)
[info]quietthedead
2019-08-22 06:35 am UTC (link)
Vegas had proved to be an exciting kind of place, Klaus had a great time gambling and drinking and eating and basking in all of it, gathering together some interesting pieces to add to his wardrobe and he even managed to make himself a new friend - who he made sure got the full Vegas experience including a makeover. It had turned into a pretty great day and night.

The next morning though was another situation entirely.

There was some sort of attack, he heard someone mention aliens, but he hadn't seen any other than the ones that he knew lived in town. And he was fairly certain they weren't attacking anything. But then he heard the sound of lasers and then explosions and the world narrowed down suddenly and sharply, to the point that he couldn't hear anything other than the roaring beat of his heart and his own gasping breaths. He hadn't even gotten involved and yet he was right back in it, tramping through rice fields and jungles, covered in mud and sweat and blood watching Dave bleed out in front of him all over again.

He wasn't going to make it, he couldn't do this, he needed to get out. But he didn't know where out was anymore than he knew where the threat was coming from. Klaus found cover though, a corner he could press himself into and clutched at his own knees and waited, waited for the end of it or the end to come, whichever found him first.

Klaus and Bill

At the sound of the first explosion Bill had rolled out of bed wand in hand and gone to the window. A little lie in was what the doctor had ordered after the night before. Not that he was complaining, it had been wonderful. But it looked like they'd overstayed their welcome, if the lasers shooting through the sky were anything to go by. Bill was still tugging on his shirt when he apparated into the street, aiming a spell at the alien terrorizing a few people not far away.

That was well and good, but not what he was looking for. What he was looking for had gone off in search of coffee and Bill wasn't leaving without him. Lucky he didn't have to search for too long, Klaus hair was recognizable enough from over the top of his arms.

There were enough big damn heroes and Bill was relieved to see Klaus out of the way. But out of the way was only going to stay that way for a few moments longer and Bill sprinted forward sending a barrage of hexes toward the creatures coming their way and finally making it to his side. Bill threw up a shield around them as he ducked down beside him.

"There you are, gorgeous," Bill said breathlessly. "I've been looking for you everywhere."

He didn't know what exactly he had been expecting but this hadn't been it. At first, he'd enjoyed the lights and the music and all the activity, it had reminded him of Couruscant and his first thought was that Lando would love it here. Then after a day, it had gotten boring but he didn't want to leave as long as Leia was still here. Especially with Starkiller around.

Then they'd been attacked. Not anything new for Luke and it amused him that everyone was calling them aliens. They kind of were for this place but they didn't look all that different from some of the races he'd seen at home and technically he was an alien to people from Earth. Pushing his h air out of his eyes, he found a bench and sat down to catch his breath. Things seemed to have settled for the moment and maybe he could concentrate on finding Leia.
