PERIL FROM THE PAST! That can't be who Power Man thinks it is, can it? Christmas--it is them! Shades and Comanche! Don't these two turkeys ever get tired 'a this? Every time they show up--Luke's gotta waste his time pounding their heads! Power Man's Health: 6/6
Power Man's Energy: 18/18Meanwhile, we find the other half of our heroic duo at the new suburban plant built by Rand-Meachum, Incorporated. Just after Iron Fist decided to try and pick up the pieces of his life after being disowned by K'un-Lun, a mysterious mystic gem, which may or may not come from there, is stolen! Danny Rand needs something down-to-earth after all that. And since he is majority stockholder in this corporation, he may as well stop in and see his money at work! "Danny!" Joy Meachum emerges from her office to greet him. "What a surprise! Long time no see! Not since you made me proxy holder for your stock."Iron Fist's Health: 3/3
Iron Fist's Energy: 9/9 |

Badly in need of a nice dose of normal, Danny smiled genuinely. Sorry to catch you off guard, I was just hoping to take a look around, get a feel for the operation.

Power Man looked at the pathetic couple of fools in front of him for a couple of seconds before responding. "You know what, I will do you two a favor and let you take a couple of swings at me before I pound you both into nothing. How that sounds?"

H:6/6

Action 1:6 into Durability all shifted to defense (Because I just saw a picture of these two that suggests that I am about to get a pounding. The picture was of them hitting Luke Cage with enough force (VIA arrows and laser blasts) to send Power Man flying through a brick wall.)
Defense:11 (6 from actions, 5 from toughness)

Power Man"Uh-uh, Lucas," Shades protests. "This time it's gonna be different! 'Cause this time we are the new and improved Shades and Comanche!"WHAMM!So Shades got himself a super-power. That really ticks Cage off! Now it's gonna take him longer to whip their tails--and he has already made plans for the day!* "Shoot, Shades," Comanche jive talks, "Ol' Lucas ain't got the picture yet! You goin' down, boy!"Power Man's Health: 6/6
Power Man's Energy: 18/18
[*Luke told Harmony he'd meet her for lunch.]Iron Fist"It's still here, safe for whenever you want to take up the reins again."That may be awhile. Danny still hasn't gotten totally used to being back on Earth. He'd probably ruin the company in a week! "I'll give you a tour of the new facility." Nearby, after Joy Meachum shows Danny around the office... "And this is our shipping area, where the goods manufactured at this plant are sent out to the purchasers."Hunh? What are those doing here? In an opened crate, Iron Fist spots what look like the guns that private army was carrying when they stole Nastalthia's gem! "Something wrong, Danny?"Iron Fist's Health: 3/3

Christmas, Luke was definetly not expecting that. So the obvious thing to do will be to knock these blockheads down in the next minute or so. Especially if he doesn't want to be late. So Power Man simply takes a swing at Shade. "Not unless I take you down first, you jive turkies."

Danny wondered when they'd started selling weapons to crooks. He looked over the crate for a shipping label or anything else that would give him a clue where these ones were going.
Nothing wrong, just give me a moment...

Power ManBefore Power Man can reach Shades, Comanche takes him out with an arrow! "Just like flypaper, hunh, Shades?""Ain't it the truth?"Power Man's Health: 6/6
Power Man's Energy: 18/18
[Stuck to a wall]Iron FistDanny doesn't find a shipping label or anything else that would indicate that this crate is going anywhere. "It's a new weapon we manufacture for various security forces," Joy offers helpfully. "Here," she says, handing Danny a gun. "Why don't you keep this one as a sample? Maybe Heroes for Hire could place an order someday."Iron Fist's Health: 3/3

Sure, I'll have Luke take a look, Danny smiled back, knowing that HfH was not going to be buying any weapons any time soon, private security eh? Any big accounts I should be aware of?

Power Man"Now let's show our old Seagate buddy--" This time the arrow has an explosive tip. It combines with Shades' power blast, to produce devastating results! When Luke wakes up, some kids tell him, 'a couple of friends stopped by to settle an old score.'Iron Fist"I don't know," Joy says checking to make sure she and Danny are alone, "but Uncle Ward's up to something...and I want to know what it is." Ward Meachum is the Executive Vice President of the Rand-Meachum Corporation. Power Man and Iron FistAn hour later, at the Park Avenue offices of Heroes for Hire, both Power Man and Iron Fist are tense. Danny wants to investigate what's happening at Rand-Meachum, but Power Man wants to go after Shades and Comanche! Power Man's Health: 6/6

Come on, Luke, this could be big. Putting weapons like these into the hands of street criminals is dangerous. It could cause an all-out war, with civilians getting caught in the crossfire. This is what Heroes for Hire is all about.
Danny didn't want to admit it but he felt like he could be partially responsible if anyone got hurt, and Luke's old friends would still be there when they got done with the weapons problem.

"And I still say no way!" Power Man argues. "I'm goin' after Shades and Comanche--and if you ain't comin' with me--then I'll go it alone!""As I see it, your problems can be solved by putting a modicum of practical thought into the situation," Jeryn advises, "as well as a little deviousness!""Too many people at Rand-Meachum know Danny's double identity--Joy does, and possibly Ward--for Iron Fist to be seen nosing around there...but that shouldn't stymie us...all we need to do is hire the lovely ladies at Nightwing Restorations to do our snooping for us!"

Danny paused in his exercises (  ??), frowning, but he had to admit that the man had a point. Alright, so they take look into the guns, I help Luke with his old buddies. I'd rather handle it myself, but I can't leave Luke in the lurch anyway.
Let's do it. |

Misty Knight and Colleen Wing are Danny's friends. They can't just have Jennie call them up--and hire them. It would be so--impersonal! So Iron Fist talks to them. Iron Fist's Health: 3/3

It's hardly charity work. If something my company is making is getting into the hands of the wrong people, I need to know about it, and stop it right away. This is a real job. I'd do it myself, but Luke and I are on to something else right now...

Nightwing Restorations is in! They'll take the case. "Well done, m'boy, well done!" Jeryn applauds. "Let's cut out this talkin', hunh?" Luke exhorts. "Shades and Comanche are out there somewhere--and I got me some bruises that keep remindin' me a' the fact. I'm itchin' to get even!""C'mon, D.W. You want to get that documentary on us shot, you better tag along. You're gonna get to see us stomp some real turkeys!"But, out on the street-- Iron Fist's Health: 3/3
