Shalendra had the front part of her mask pulled up while she watched the seconds tick by on her wristwatch. It was still late at night here. The starts were like diamonds against a black velvet blanket. It was absolutely freezing, though. There were multiple fires let around the area to keep herself and her troops warm. Soon, however, the sun would start to poke through the darkness of the night. The colors of the sky would be a masterpiece. The perfect backdrop for what was about to happen. By now, the Avengers would have gotten her little surprise. One of her grunts nodded to her, it was time. By now, the Avengers would have had a bit of a rude awakening in the form of several explosions right near the manor, and the surrounding area. Her agents were informed to clear away civilians without killing them. Shale wasn’t interested in innocent blood… right now.
The Avengers would have a single, small ipod like device delivered to them via a parachute. On it would be Shalendra, as she was now, in the desert. She glared at the little camera as she spoke, “This is a message for the Avengers. Now that I have your undivided attention… Consider this a greeting and an invitation. I’m sure it will only take you moments to start tracing my location. You may continue, but in a moment, I will give you the coordinates. You will join me here. If you fail to show within a reasonable among of time, my mend and I will simply have to continue with such acts until you feel we’re worth the time. Keep in mind. This time civilians were kept from the fray. Where we are, it will be the same. Fail to show, and their blood will be on your hands as well as mine.”
The camera would scan over the area, showing the Black Guard fighters that Red Skull had given to her for this mission. 14 assassins and 80 troopers and 6 maulers.
“The choice is yours. I hope you make the right one.”
Shale made a chopping motion across her neck. The broadcast would end, but the screen that the avengers would see would now have the exact location of where Shale and her troops were.
