=====
Solo teleported to his hidden bunker in the desert mountains of Utah. A clock on the wall reads 5:30 pm, two hours behind New York local time.
He realizes that he left his MP5K machine pistol on the scene, likely in the possession of the police now. They'll likely match slugs to the pistol when they dig them out of that punk's brainpan.
His head hurts. Though thankful his protective mask deflected the bullet, he can already feel a knot swelling up on his forehead. An inch or two higher or lower and the cop's bullet would have given him a new mouth or taken off the top of his skull. He'd have been dead. Too close.
His whole body was sore, from the tumbling off of the speeding driveby vehicle and the gunshots to the chest. He definitely needed to take some extra-strength pain meds and rest up some. He'd be alright.
On his computer, an encrypted e-mail message awaited. Retrieving a stashed USB flash drive containing a decryption key from behind the clock on the wall, Solo plugs it into his computer and the email changes from a spam message hawking a hair restoration cream to a message from his contacts in the Symkarian intelligence services. Silver Sable.
The Symkarians take the War on Terrorism seriously, perhaps even more seriously than the United States. For them, World War 2 never ended. Symkaria is second only to Israel in Nazi war criminal hunting, doing whatever it takes to bring them down. And with so many Nazi programs geared towards producing immortal super-soldiers falling into the hands of various sympathetic groups - the Red Skull, AIM, HYDRA, JIHAD, al Qaeda -the entrenched residue of World War 2 was now fought in the shadows.
The decrypted message reads:
Face-to-face meeting required. Bring firepower.
And gives a date, time, and map coordinates:
Tomorrow, 1400 hours local time, warehouse district of New York City.
A quick check of navigation software pinpoints the exact location the meeting will take place.

Silver Sable, hugh? Seems like something big is going down. But it was always something big with her. The pain was bad. The Adrenalin of the fight was gone. He got some of his painkillers, from his med-storage and started to patch himself up.
He then checked his computer again, to check the NYPD radio and computer data for any info on the Gang that he fought. Also who was that guy that teleported there. He was one of those guys at the Met.
After that Solo restocks Ammo and replaced his missing gun (Really stupid of him to loose it, oh well), and a new suit for tomorrow. He also added a retractable Sniper Rifle, Bazooka and two nunchucks, for tomorrow. Oh he will bring firepower alright.
Today went okay. Could have gone better, almost got killed. Didn't want to hurt the cop, but had no choice. Hope that wounded girl was okay. He undressed to his short, had a meal, watched "What about Bob" on his TV. Set his watch 4 hours before the meeting to prepare for it, set his alarm system and went to sleep.

Solo's internet searches turn up nothing on the teleporter with the power mullet called "Flashdance" other than news footage of his showboating appearance at the museum earlier with two other virtual unknowns called "Oldschool" and "Shockwave."
There is a bit more information on the one called "Oldschool." His real name is Mike Sherman, a military veteran and weapons designer who's powers of superstrength and invulnerability were revealed when he survived an explosion. Sherman had built a company called "Sherman Industries" that served as a sub-contractor for Stark Industries before that company re-organized as Stark International under CEO James Rhodes. Stark International got almost out of the military munitions business altogether after the US Department of Defense awarded contracts to Lexcorp and Wayne Enterprises. The loss of contracts with Stark International wiped Sherman out financially, resulting in Sherman's company going bankrupt. He now serves soup in a homeless shelter in Manhattan's Lower East Side.
Nothing has hit the national news about the driveby shooting in New York City, but after a few hours NYC local media report that the shootings began at the south end of Central Park and ended in the middle of the park near the Metropolitan Museum. Unsubstantiated witness reports claim that one of the driveby shooters blew up his own vehicle before gunning down more people and 'teleporting' away. Police suspect the mutant power amplifying drug known as 'Kick' is involved.
Around an hour later, Solo finds a 'Broad Daylight Killaz' gang MySpace page with a recently updated posting lamenting the death of some schmuck named Terrence "BassDrop" Jenkins, who apparently was an unsigned amateur rap recording artist in addition to his gang life. A photo of him smoking a massive blunt reveals that he is the one Solo executed in the middle of 86th Street. The post goes on to say...
"Ain't nobody safe. Y'all gone pay. Hammerhead gone be HammerDead. BDK Thuglife 4evah!"

"Hmph, well the world can live with one murdering wannabe rapper less", he thinks to himself and going to sleep (doing the things before, which are documented in last post.).

ooc: Technically, the mission Solo will receive from Silver Sable "tomorrow afternoon" in New York will come after what the other heroes will be doing "later tonight" after they have a pizza dinner (so there's a time gap). As I work to get everyone back in the same time frame, hopefully crossing paths "tomorrow night." While Solo is doing this "solo mission" he will NOT lose Karma for killing, and in fact, might even earn some ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Before retiring to bed as "What About Bob?" runs on his DVD player, Solo restocks his bandolier strap to replace the used M67 fragmentation grenade and the used M84 flashbang grenade, and slaps a 30 round box magazine clip into a replacement H&K MP5K machine pistol before placing in his holster. He then selects a Polish Army Bor rifle, a compact bolt-action combat sniper rifle with a bullpup configuration (magazine in the stock behind the trigger, reduces size without reducing barrel length) that fires 7.62x51mm NATO rounds with a 10 round box magazine clip, complete with nightvision sights. [Sniper Rifle, Good (15) shooting damage, maximum range 15 areas, scope eliminates range penalties, Typical (6) nightvision, 1 shot per round, 10 round clip] He then uncrates a brand spanking new Swedish AT4-CS, a single shot disposable LAW (light anti-tank weapon) designed for urban warfare / confined spaces. The AT4-CS is the premier portable anti-armor weapon carried by NATO forces, launching an 84mm HP (heavy penetration) round rated to pierce rolled homogenous armor steel up to 2 feet in thickness. Though not strong enough to take out an US military Abrams Main Battle Tank or an Israeli Merkava IV, it can easily shred its way into a Soviet T72 tank's crew compartment, and isn't very friendly to reinforced concrete either. [Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher, Incredible (40) shooting damage, armor-piercing reduces protection by -2CS, maximum range 7 areas, scope eliminates range penalties, single shot disposable weapon]As an afterthought, Solo also adds two pairs of nunchaku fighting sticks to his webgear. [Nunchaku (x2), Good material strength, Strength +1CS or material strength Blunt damage (whichever is less)]Solo is ready to bring the pain.

Disorientation. Teleporting into unknown environments sometimes gave the team a brief sense of vertigo and confusion as their bodies adjusted to the spatial displacement.
The bullet-riddled bodies of the terrorists, the airliner's crew, and the passengers lay strewn in the seats and aisles of the jet.
Gabriel Grant, leader of the Omega Strike counter-terrorist first assault team was at the front of the plane with James Bourne's new girlfriend and fellow teammate, Rowena Maclean. Bourne watched helplessly as globules of plasma erupted in thin air as the rest of the Omega Strike team teleported into the hijacked plane. As they emerged, Grant and Rowena shot them in the head, killing them! The team had been betrayed!
And then they approached Bourne. He couldn't move, paralyzed by the disorienting teleportation. Rowena hung a pendant necklace around his neck and said "I'm sorry, James. I will always love you."
And then excruciating pain, as Grant shot him in the stomach. Rowena and Grant teleport away, leaving Bourne to die, alone. Solo....
Solo bolts up from his bunk drenched in sweat, as his alarm clock buzzed. Damn, another nightmare. It is 8:00am Mountain time, four hours before his scheduled meeting in New York at 2:00pm Eastern time.
On the screen of his TV is the main menu of the "What About Bob?" DVD. His combat gear is packed and ready to go.
[ooc: after this period of rest, Solo is restored to full Health]

Dammit!
This Day will always hunt him. The Day his life changed forever. They told him his team was a new kind of Captain America, the legendary WW2 Hero, people with a sense of justice, Honor and pride.
But it was all a lie, Gabriel betrayed him, but worse yet Rowena betrayed, "ROWENA!!!", he roared in his (absolutely soundproof) bunker, and smashed his alarm clock to the wall, smashing it into tiny bits.
How could she have done this, betray him. She died that day, in a sense, to him, just like Melinda died for real.
But he had no time for this. He had a mission soon. He couldn't sleep anymore, but felt anyway awake and ready. He had breakfast then a training-session, then checked his gear, getting ready to gear up, then typing in coordinates into his Teleportation device, and meet Silver Sable.

ooc technical note: Solo's teleportation is based on cybernetic micro-circuitry implanted in his brain. He is one of twelve elite soldiers that survived the top secret surgical implantation to become members of the Omega Strike counter-terrorist team that was betrayed. As far as he knows, Gabriel Grant and Rowena Maclean died in a plane crash for which James Bourne was also blamed as well as being blamed for the killing of the rest of the Omega Strike team during the Italy mission last year. ("Official" top secret government reports state that Bourne killed his teammates, then hunted down and killed Grant and Maclean as well - actually Solo was framed for it all by Grant, who "faked" his death in that plane crash... but all of that is unknown history to this game's version of Solo so far.) Anyway, Solo doesn't "type" anything into a device. He commands the teleportation circuitry wired into his brain by thinking about his destination...]

11:59am MST / 1:59pm EST - After suiting up and strapping on all of his gear, Solo concentrates on the coordinates and disappears from his bunker in Utah... ...and reappears in a dimly lit warehouse. A few wooden packing crates are stacked here and there, but the warehouse is basically empty, save for a large plasma screen television two chairs. and seated in one chair is figure in a blood red and black bodysuit, wearing military web-gear strapped with guns, knives, swords, grenades and explosives. ![](http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg340/deadsidekick/deadpool.jpg) He quick draws his silenced pistol and obliterates a moth spinning around a light fixture, then reholsters the weapon. The floor is strewn with shell casings, and dead bugs. "Waited to the last minute to get here?," the man says in an annoying sarcastic wisecrack. "Three paragraphs back," he says nonsensically. "Have a seat and let's start this show! Didja bring popcorn? Why is there never popcorn for these things? C'mon sit down." the man in red points to the television set. "Lets see what we're here for." The screen flickers to life and on it is the image of Silver Sable, in a form fitting metallic silver bodysuit that matches her silver white hair. "Please, Mr. S, take a seat next to Mr. D and lets begin." The man in red quips in a mock Beavis and Butthead voice "Dude, she called you Mr. Ass huhuhuhuhuh..." then to the television screen a wolf whistle. "I'd kill for a body like that! I mean if she paid me enough." He then quickdraws his silenced pistol again and nails another moth. He insanely says "Deadpool 24, Moths zero. I wonder if I'm losing Karma for this."

The figure in red shrugs at Solo and oddly says, "I'm a plot device. Just here to move the story along. You know how it goes - boy meets bad guys, bad guys die. Lots of shouting, mayhem, destruction, I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream."
From the television set, Silver Sable says, "Gentlemen, please pay attention. Our sources have determined that the HYDRA terrorist organization has moved some powerful weapons into New York City from the Far East, possibly North Korea, on a container ship that arrived in port last night. We do not know what these weapons are, only that they were offloaded from a ship owned by a Yakuza front company. You will act as a two-man fire team and infiltrate the warehouse these weapons have been stored in. Mr. D will then wire these weapons with explosives and destroy them. Mr. S will provide cover, and infiltration / exfiltration with his teleportation abilities. Opposition is expected to be light, but consider them targets of opportunity."
Mr. D pipes in, "That means we can kill them if we see them. We should go look for them. It'll be like a video game, except with dice, and paper, and pretzels."
Silver Sable rolls her eyes at the crimson-masked babbling, seemingly non-serious mercenary. "Extreme discretion is required. Destroy the weapons and get out fast," she says in a thick Balkan accent. "Our sources and methods for striking HYDRA assets must not be revealed. As usual, 24 hours after your mission is completed, you will be compensated via electronic funds transfer to your Swiss bank accounts."
Mr D. says "Mister S and Mister D, S and D, Seek and Destroy!"
He then nonsensically says "Goldfish?" and scratches his head.
Silver Sable gives the location of the warehouse as "Pier 41, Warehouse B."

"Understood we will do as you ordered", Solo said in a proffesional voice and looked slightly annoyed at Mr.D and said,"Youre ready for this Funnyman, this doesn't sound like a rookie job."

"A sphincter says what?" the man in red replies to Solo.
Silver Sable says "Good luck" and the screen goes blank. Suddenly, sparks and smoke fly out of the television, and the entire unit rapidly melts into a puddle of molten plastic on the floor of the warehouse.
Mr. D stands up and says to Solo, "My friends call me Wade. My enemies call me Deadpool. You can call me Deadpool."

ooc: Solo accidently posted in the wrong thread, so I deleted it and quoted it here...Solo replies with a slight Smile,"Call me Solo", and shook Wades hand. Altough this guy looks like an Amateur he might do that to throw of his enemies. Solo knew not to underestimate anyone anymore. "So are you ready? Can we start?", Solo asked Wade.

As Deadpool shakes Solo's offered hand, with his other hand he quickly sticks a finger in the hoop of the pull pin on one of the fragmentation grenades hanging on Solo's bandolier strap and jokes "Nice nipple rings" and laughs.
"Aw c'mon, lighten up, Solo. Jabba wants you fed to the Sarlaac Monster on Tatooine, which is in a galaxy far, far away."
This "Deadpool" seems to be rather insane, or at least annoyingly incapable of shutting his mouth.
After leaping atop some crates and striking rather menacing but purposeless poses with his guns and swords, Deadpool does a springing backflip and lands on his feet in front of Solo.
"Okay Freddy I'm ready. Um, what were we supposed to do again?"
Solo is not sure if Deadpool is kidding.
