Thing ------ As the Thing walks away from Reed Richards, he hears Mr. Fantastic say, "It's notyour fault Ben. It was my idea for the four of us to go into the Negative Zone. Just like it was my idea for us to take that flight into space, changing us into the Fantastic Four and you into..."
The sound of Reed's voice trails off as Ben continues to walk away. However he didn't have to hear Richards's last words to know that they were, "the Thing".
Ben Grimm arrives at Squid's bar on the waterfront without incedent. As he approachs the front door of the bar, a taxi pulls up behind him. Within he sees Captain America and a cab driver who looks a lot like Willy Lumpkin, the Fantastic Four's mailman. [Note: Stan Lee made a cameo appearance as Willy Lumpkin in the Fantastic Four movie.]
Thing's Health: 6/6 Thing's Energy: 18/18
Captain America ----------------- [Returning to the cab scene.] Captain America is in a rush to get to Squids bar before the Thing and/or Spider-man blow Captain Marvel's cover. However, he believes that this is no excuse to be rude to the cab driver, a nobel profession, and so he answers very politely. "I'm on my way to do what ever I can to stop Doctor Octopus's plans from taking root. Also, I do not mind getting advice from a fellow American."
"Now I recognize you. You're the Star Spangled Sentinel of Liberty, Captain America! I used to read about you're exploits during World War II in the Globe. The Globe was one fine paper, until that blasted Daily Bugle piece of garbage ran it into the ground." The taxi driver declares.
"I was going to tell you that no matter how tough these super-villians are on the outside, you can beat them if you can get into their head. Now that's funny, because I'm sure you already knwo that, having faced the Red Skull in the past. Also, based on your destination, it already seems clear to me that you know you have to start at the bottom and work your way up." The taxi then pulls over. Out the window, Captain America spots a large lumbering figure that can only be the Thing.
"Here we are, Captain. At the very bottom of the low-life food chain. The barnacle of the waterfront scene, Squid's bar." The driver pauses for just a second and then finishes with, "'Nuff said."
Captain America's Health: 2/4 Captain America's Energy: 5/12
Spider-Man ---------- “Pipe down Jameson. I thought this was the public restrooms. Sorry for what I did in your office.”
J.J. takes a second to absorb what Spider-Man just said. "You...what? You did WHAT in MY OFFICE!?!"
Spider-Man is gone before he can see J.J. Jameson's face turn a burning bright red, as if smoke might stream out of his ears at any moment. However, web-head does hear J.J. yell at the top of his lungs, "SPIDER-MAN!!!!"
When Spidey reaches Squid's bar he sees the Thing standing outside and Captain America exitting a taxi-cab.
Spider-Man's Health: 4/4 Spider-Man's Energy: 12/12 [Note: In case anyone wonders how Spider-Man regenerated 6 stones when he only has a 4 for his Health, the reason is Spider-Man's Healing Factor. He regenrates 3 red stones of Energy per 2 White stones of Health per panel. Thus 6 stones of Energy for 4 stones of Health. His max Energy is still 12 though.]

* Ben's head is still filled with Reed's last words. Ben had taken the worst of the blast during that flight into space. The other three at least could look normal, but Ben..... *
* As Ben approaches the bar, he sees a cab speed to the entrance and stop. With what appears to him to be Willy driving, and Capt freaking America. Now all that was left was for web head to arrive. *

"I remember the Globe... It was a dam good paper... They covered many aspects of the war... And the villain we are after, you're right, ive faced them many times. One more deranged and insane than the other... But none have really ever gotten to Red Skulls level..."
Once they arrived, Captain America gave the cab driver a good tip and thanked him for the talk. He then headed toward The Thing. "Thing, ive spoken with Captain Marvel... She's inside doing some undercover work and we are to wait outside the Squid's Bar, since we would take to much attention and blow her cover... She have been able to arrange a meeting with someone who might be able to help us out... To identify him, she will spile some vine on his shirt... Hopefully, that will be enough for us to reconice him."
He then turns to the web slinging hero. "So Spider-man, we will have to take that drink abit later." ======================

Captain Marvel -------------- Captain America agrees to Monica's plan and signs off. Now it is just after 7 PM. What is Monica going to do for the next hour? Certainly not stay in the bathroom, it smells in there!

Captain America, Spider-Man & Thing ---------------------------------------- It's 7:30 PM and Captain Marvel told Captain America that this Jim McGreed character is expected to arrive at Squids bar at around 8 PM.
Spider-Man realizes that after buying the gift for Ned, he doesn't have any money to buy a round of drinks. His thoughts of poverty are then distracted by a car driving up to the bar, and then suddenly speeding away.
The Thing notices another gentleman walking towards Squid's. The lone man then sees the collected heroes and quickly turns himself around to hustle the other way.
Captain America is this group's defacto leader. What should they all do for the next 30 to 45 minutes? Certainly standing in front of Squid's bar is not the best way to remain unnoticed.

Monica freshens up a little and makes her way back to slime that she decided to flirt with. She slides to the stool next to him and flashes him a smile." So, are you sure McGreed ain't here yet?" she asked," I want to get out of here." She turns to the bartender," Merlot, please."

Captain Marvel Only -------------------- One gut-wretching hour later, Monica finally hears what she's been waiting for.
"There he is." Her drinking partner says, pointing towards a man entering the bar. "That's McGreed."
Jim McGreed makes his way to a table in the back of the bar and seats himself.

Monica takes a deep swallow. Closes her eyes and plants a kiss on her new friend. She knows it will almost impossible to stop so she gives him a little tease of tongue, all the while trying to picture kissing Billy Dee Williams. Once she finished the lip-lock she looked her new friend in the eyes," Now...Scab, Jim Mcgreed is giving me a lot of trouble. He wants me to pay him cash or he will hurt my momma. I am going to walk over there and give him a piece of my mind. I need you to come up and throw him outside when I am done. Do you think you can do that for me?" The man sat there shaking his head in affirmative. Monica picks up her glass of untouched merlot( she didn't want to mix her alcohols)," When I throw this glass of merlot on his shirt I need you to throw him out front and then go meet me out back," she rubs her hand on his thigh," So we can get busy, you dig?" Monica gives Scab a quick kiss and walks over to McGreed. She walks slow, confident and smooth. She gives Scab a nice booty show. She walks over to the guy that Scab called McGreed," Are you Jim Mcgreed?" The slimy guy in his white woman beater looks up," Yeah, who wants ta know?" Monica looks over to Scab who was about a yard away ready to pounce smiles and throws the whole glass of merlot on Jim's shirt.
========== Health 2/3 Energy 6/9 Action 1: 3 Stones into Social Skills to get Scab to do his part Action 2: 2 Stones into Close Combat( all allocated to Defense) to slip away unharmed to the ladies bathroom. Health 2/3 Energy 0/9

[OOC: So during that 1 and a half hour, he dosent regenerate any stones? Not to mention the cab ride which atleast took 15 minuts... And each half minut during that drive was a panel, so Cap would have regenerated atleast.... A good deal of stones.... You are more time jumping than i expected...]
"Lets find a better spot to observe the bar from... We're abit to easy to spot when standing out here in the open" Cap looks around for something that could give them a good viewe of the bar but still keep them hidden. ======================

* Ben decides it would probably be best as well to hide. But where does something of his size hide in the slums? Not to mention the fact he is orange as well. Ben glances around for something to use, peeking down the alley way he looks for a dumpster he can hide behind *

Captain America, Spider-Man & Thing ---------------------------------------- Spider-Man crawls up the building into the shadows. The Thing hides behind a very stinky dumpster. Now Captain America must also decide whether to go up or down. He could climb a fire escape and watch from a nearby rooftop, or he can remove a grate from the gutter and stay hidden in the sewer.
[Neros, please indicate in your next post where Captain America was hiding.]
Captain Marvel ---------------- Jim McGreed is allocating what stones he can to Intelligence to figure out who this b*tch is, why she threw a glass of wine on him and if he's ever slept with her.
Scab is allocating stones to Close Combat to grab McGreed and throw him outside, so he can sleep with the b*tch already.
It was really no contest. Scab wins this Panel.
Captain America, Spider-Man & Thing ---------------------------------------- Just after 8 PM the front door to Squid's bar bursts open and a man wearing a wine drenched outfit is thrown outside by some thug. The 'bouncer' then goes back inside, leaving the guy in the wine soaked shirt with a bloody nose dripping on the sidewalk.

Captain Marvel ---------------- Monica races to the bathroom, finding it occupied by one other woman. Or at least she thinks it's a woman. What appears to be either a drag queen or a very ugly prostitute is fixing her makeup over the sink. The woman turns from the cracked mirror toward the in-rushing Monica and says, "Got the runs honey? Or is it your time of month, girlfriend?"
