"Now that you're in range of my psychic knife," Psylocke says to Salvatore Maroni, "I'm betting that even your goons can't help you." Her knife impacts his head and Maroni lays stunned; catatonic.

"What do you know, I'm right," she says.

"Good work, girl, now let me 'bug' them a bit," Ant-Man says moving in on them.

"Ant-Man, no, stay away! They'll swarm you," Betsy says.

"Swarm an ant. Ironic, isn't it?" Eric says with a plan.

Not sure what you're going for with Ant-Man. I guess I'll find out.

“He’s a bug! Squash ‘im!” Falcone ranted.

“I’m tryin’, boss,” Guido said.

“I got him!” the riot officer said, bringing his heavy boot down on Ant-Man.

“I may be small like an ant, but that doesn’t mean I’m as easy to crush as one,” Ant-Man said, forcing the man’s foot back up.

“Oh get out of the way,” Black Canary said, pushing Falcone aside so she could use her canary cry. At close range, that was more than enough to deal with Ant-Man.

“You know, I could use someone like you in my organization,” Falcone said.

“In your dreams, Falcone,” Canary said.

“Ha! Caught you at last, Captain,” Red Robin said, tagging Captain America with a bataranag. “Wait, I just hit you. Why are you smiling?”

“Let’s just say you remind me of someone and leave it at that,” Cap said.

"Looks like they need some help here, Misty," Colleen Wing says.

"Fair enough. I'm ready to go," Misty Knight says, "Let's do this." She moves ahead and tags the Falcone bodyguard with her blaster.

"Subtle, dear," says Yelena who lets off a charge that hits several of her foes one charge at a time.

"Next time," she says, "Don't be so passive."

"Passive?" Misty looks to Colleen.

"Tough crowd," Colleen replies.

Nice to see Misty and Colleen. They're a perfect fit for this sort of game.

"You look like a man who needs to learn how to loosen up and have some fun," Catwoman said to Captain America.

"I'm not interested in your kind of fun," Captain America told her.

"Party pooper," she pouted.

The HIVE Trooper fell at Psylocke's mental command.

"You're out in the open, darling," says Psylocke, "That's not your style."

"You hide behind mind tricks, I hide in a crowd. Seems a perfect trade off," Black Canary says.

"But your crowd is disappearing," Betsy adds.

"It only takes me seconds," Canary replies.

"Might as well be decades to a telepath," Psylocke says as she turns to the Skrull Saboteur filling his mind with her location, "Finish her."

"My pleasure," he says and with one blast takes her down.

Really good riot gear?

Carmine will MM his EE damage to the HIVE trooper, who's on his way out anyway.

"You think you're hidden from me?" Lady Shiva asked. "It's impossible to hide from me."

"You think you're such hot stuff?" Psylocke asked. "I can beat you any day of the week and twice on Sundays."

"That sounds like a challenge," Shiva said and she and Psylocke began testing each other's mettle.

"No challenge," Psylocke continues, "Merely a promise. I can read your thoughts. As effective as you may be, that won't save you against me." She plunges her psychic knife deep into Lady Shiva's head. It nearly leaves her catatonic but certainly takes her out of the battle.

Lady Shiva's going to be one of those pieces that looks really good on paper, and whom I will want to keep playing, but who's always going to fall flat for me. I can tell already from the two times I've run her.

Position check - you show the Skrull Assassin and the Checkmate Pawn both in F15. The Assassin should be in E15.

Mercenary's going to push to break. Gets 5. He moves back to K9

Someone tried this on me once before and it was a nasty combo. Harvey Dent (DKR version) enters and moves to M8

Red Robin attacks the Checkmate Pawn, AV10 on DV16. Gets 8. 2 to him after Toughness.

Nigma takes the token for that, Harvey giving him Willpower so he can take it.

Falcone will MM to the Riot Officer, but not to the Mercenary.

"Riddler."

"Two-Face." the two master criminals eyed each other suspiciously.

"Oh get over it boys," Catwoman said, coming back from where she had just finished off Captain America. "Play nice with each other. We've got bigger fish to fry. And you know how cats love fish."
