(Ok)

Beast boy morphs into a crow and silently flys back to the Tower, where Iron man is trying to regain his composure after his suit mishap.

[Flagmauth]

Meanwhile, Iron Man received an incoming message from Captain America. "Stark, we need you at the tower. Emergency meeting...we're gonna have to do something about these newcomers who attacked us."

[A Blind Guy]

"Um, yeah a bit of an issue with that.. I think a virus got in my suit and I had to shut everything down, I'll see what I can do." Iron man puts the helmet back on. 

"Jarvis, run system recovery."

"Yes sir, all systems are restored." 

"Bye guys my team needs me." 
Iron man blasts out the window and back to New York to his awaited team.

[Shinigami]

We see DeathStroke in he Caribbean surfing and enjoying life still waiting to see if Sarah needs his help.


BlindGuy left the K off of New York

[A Blind Guy]

Just to make you mad bro, jk I fixed it. 

Iron man makes it back to the rubble that was the Avengers tower.

[Flagmauth]

The Avengers Tower (formerly) is currently strewn across a good couple of blocks of NYC, along with several nearby buildings. As Iron Man descends at the site of the foundation, he sees Steve Rogers, known to most as Captain America, looking grimly up at him. Accompanying Cap are Thor, Wolverine, Ms. Marvel, Luke Cage and Spider-Woman.

"We've done some digging on the people responsible for this attack." Cap shows Iron Man photographs, three of which he recognizes: The Flash, Green Lantern, and Batman. The other two show some black-haired man in a blue suit, with a red S emblazoned on his chest, and a woman dressed in vaguely Greek-looking armor and bracelets, wielding a glowing lasso. "Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Flash. Apparently these people are connected to the new cities that popped up out of nowhere a couple days ago. They're regarded as heroes, at least in those areas." Captain America held out a hand to indicate the wreckage of the Tower. "I have a hard time believing that."

"Furthermore, these people are based out of this satellite. We intend to take the fight to them. They attacked us in our home...let's see how they like it. We're not going to be pushed around by some two-bit villains who dropped out of nowhere."

"We've also, thanks to Ms. Marvels efforts, been able to secure the aid of the Thunderbolts and the Fantastic Four in this raid. Suit up, Stark."

[A Blind Guy]

"Now hold on their cap, while I was over there, we ran into a guy called Deathstroke, he's got some pretty good tech, holograms and a virus that got into MY suit. Call me nuts but I think the recent hero attacks have something to do with this guy."

there is an earth shaking THUD as Red Hulk lands next to Iron man, and he nods in agreement with what Tony just said.

[Flagmauth]

"We've never heard of him before...this happened where? Bludhaven? That's another one of those cities that popped into existence. I think we can safely assume that yes, this guy is in league with the five who attacked us earlier and he probably came with them from...well, wherever."

[A Blind Guy]

"Maybe so, well we have to repair the base before we get anything done."

[Flagmauth]

"That job is probably best left to the authorities. The longer these maniacs are at large the more of a chance they have to do harm, and based on the results before you they don't need that chance. We intend to not give them one. The Thunderbolts are willing to give us passage on the Zeus, since the Quinjet was destroyed in this attack."

[A Blind Guy]

"Ok, are there any external defenses we are aware of, turrets, walls?"

[Flagmauth]

"Plenty of them. Fortunately we believe we can get in using S.H.I.E.L.D. retroreflection tech to bypass their sensors...It stands to reason that since we have no idea what we're dealing with for the most part they won't either. So we shouldn't have much of a problem getting in."

[A Blind Guy]

"ok, sounds good, when's the soonest we can leave?"

[Flagmauth]

"In about an hour."

[A Blind Guy]

"Ok great, do any of you have any ideas of what thees "hero's" powers are like? I mean I saw a guy and a girl using light." 

suddenly lightning strikes outside, a couple seconds later, a man with long blonde hair, a red cape, and a large hammer lands in the room with a shuddering THUD.

[Flagmauth]

[Thor was already there, FYI.]

"We have a general idea from fighting them, but Reed Richards of the FF has more information. He'll brief us in-flight on the people we can expect to be fighting."

Just then, an aircraft zooms into view, complete with  wing-mounted rotors which it used to touch down gently in the street next to Iron Man. The Thunderbolts had arrived.

"I guess my estimate was a bit off..."

[A Blind Guy]

"Nice plane." Iron man says as he steps away from the landing aircraft.

[Flagmauth]

Once onboard the Zeus, a video contact was received from the FF. Mister Fantastic appeared on the screen and began explaining who and what they could expect to find up there.

The flight took only a short time...the two ships were soon within visual distance of the Justice League Satellite. They moved in undetected...the League's defenses weren't capable of picking them up, so they were able to get in unopposed. Once there, they disembarked in the League Hangar.

[A Blind Guy]

Iron man gazes around in awe."Wow." 2 circular lights start to glow bright blue in his hands and he primes all of his weapons. "Lets lock and load."

[Shinigami]

We see DeathStroke on a plane back to the US and he is sleeping.

[Flagmauth]

Alarms suddenly sound throughout the satellite; the defense network has obviously detected them now. Short-barrelled laser turrets spring forth from behind retracting panels in the walls, their sights set on the incoming heroes. The sound of running footsteps comes from the nearby hallway, approaching fast.

[A Blind Guy]

"Well, there goes surprise." Iron man says under his breath and fires his repulsors at the laser turrets.

[Flagmauth]

The repulsor beams rip through the turrets quickly, but not before the rest of them start firing, concentrating mainly on Iron Man since he actually shot at them. Cap hurls his shield at one of them, destroying it, and they start targeting him as well. Before long everybody's being targeted.

[A Blind Guy]

Iron Man fires multiple flares out of his shoulder which fire at the turrets shooting Cap, and shoots the speakers that are carrying the sound of the alarms. "We've got company."

[Shinigami]

We see DeathStroke hidden in the main control room setting a trap for the Avengers
