Euro-Avengers #1 Fanfic
"Assemble!"
Guillotine is in an alleyway in Paris, she is in the shadows watching..
We see a man pressuring a woman for money.
Guillotine steps out of the shadows
The man turns in terror..
at that moment Guillotines sword is snatched from her hand, and thrust through her shoulder and we hear laughing. Guillotine hits the floor and turns to a Doctor Doom standing over her.. he says < I was meaning to get round to this sword.. to add to my mystic artifact collection.. you did a good job of evading me, but now: death.>
At that moment Ares attacks Doom his chain on fire around Doom's neck
and Ares says: 'Not so fast! That's my friend!'
Ares looks down and offers his hand to Guillotine..
Ares: 'Are you okay?'
Guillotine replies < I hope so.. >
Back at the mobile base Guillotine with a sad face is being patched up by Excalibur. she is quiet.
Cap is pacing, raging.. 'how could Doom do this, how could we be in this position?!?'..
Peri: 'Cap, If we rush in we will die, if we plan we will overcome, you need to relax.'
Cap: 'I don't *feel* very relaxed.'
Two days later..
Braddock is in London chasing down a lead, he is meeting an Latverian art dealer, they are having coffee and tea in a London bistro.
Dealer: what can I help you with?
Braddock: I believe you handled some rare artifacts in the last 6 months for a Latverian client, I would like that client's name..
Dealer: well I just can't do that.. for one it would destroy my business and secondly I don't know the full details.
Braddock leans in to the dealer and firmly grabs his arm..
Braddock: I need to know the name, address and specific artifact..
Braddock begins to squeeze the dealer's arm..
Dealer: 'aghghh..don't do this..' Braddock squeezes tighter. Dealer: 'aghgh okay okay.. it was a Scottish artifact the Celtic 'Talisman of Ruin'.. I met with the seller just outside of Stirling, he had a old black car and wore all black..'
Braddock: ' and your client?'
Dealer: silence.
Braddock squeezes his arm again.
Dealer: ' My King and great Protector of our People, King Victor Von Doom! he resides at the Royal Palace in my beloved Latveria!'
Braddock: 'I suspected as much.'
Braddock cleans himself up a little as he was disheveled.
Braddock: 'you have a good day.. knowing you are condemning innocent people to death.'
Braddock walks down the street thinking:
{Well.. I know WHERE to locate him. I can't do it alone.. maybe I should go get the team?.. is there anything I should do first?.. maybe I should go to Stirling and see if there any additional clues there.. anything, anyone who can help us?}
Meanwhile back at the mobile base Guillotine is still recovering from her wound:
Guillotine is angry and shouting at Ares..
< I'm FINE.. I can do it myself, you don't need to carry me around like I'm a helpless baby chicken>
Ares:'OKAY'
Guillotine puts her coffee in the microwave..
Excalibur:'You are lucky to still have your arm'
Guillotine:'Can you NOT say that for the 100th time!!'
Back with Braddock we see he is now at a train station in London, wearing an expensive suit..
{better keep this low key.}
three and half hours later
Braddock had fallen asleep and suddenly wakes up on the train.
Glasgow Central. The conductor looks at him and says.. 'we made good time!'
Braddock smiles politely at him and says 'yes.. thank you!'
Conductor..'wasn't me! hehe'
Braddock gets off the train and goes to Glasgow Queen Street Station.. while walking he looks around and the mood is different than he normally feels.
He buys a ticket to Stirling at the kiosk and at that he hears the conductor whistle 'ALL ABOARD FOR STIRLING! LAST CALL'
Braddock *just* catches the train sits down.
{I must be nuts coming all the way up here.. but that's why this happened, no preparation, gungho style, like always, like amateurs}
Meanwhile Ares is doing some recon of his own on a rooftop in Latveria, over his shoulder we see the Castle Von Doom upon a hillface.
{hey *they* maybe nervous of Doom.. but I kicked his ass.. I'll just walk in there and show him what's what and whos boss!}
Braddock is alighting at Stirling Station.. it's around 5pm.
{now.. he said just outside Stirling..}
After walking around the outskirts of Stirling for 30 minutes Braddock see's the tracks left by the old black car {looks 1940s.. very strange.} He looks up and see's a croft with a smoking chimney nearby {perhaps that person knows something.. perhaps they can help?}
A man is outside chopping wood as Braddock approaches..
Braddock:' Hello there..I was wondering if you could help me.. it's a matter of great importance involving one of my friends.'
Man: 'naw. go awæy.'
Braddock: 'come on.. you can't be *this* unfriendly surely?'
Man: 'excuse me? Ah telt ye go. noo go!'
Braddock: 'Hi I'm Brian Braddock.. I am awfully sorry to interrupt but I *must* find out everything I can to help my friend.'
Man: '*Hullo Ma Name's Alan.* Ah said go, n' ye didnæ listen. noo Ah'm goiny knock ye oan yur ass.'
Braddock: ' I REALLY DON'T think you will knock me on my ass. I can fight.. you have been warned.'
Alan walks up to Braddock and punches him into the air in an arc that lands Braddock two fields away. Then Alan says:
Alan: 'shut iyt! ..done.'
Meanwhile back in Latveria..
Doctor Doom has Ares tied to a large mystical looking statue of Surtur and the Talisman of Ruin around Ares neck while Ares screams in agony..
Doom: 'you think you could walk in my house.. MY HOUSE and teach me a lesson in pain? I invent new pains everyday!'
Ares: 'AAHGHGG'
Doom: '.. you're Ares.. I have heard about you, you can make weapons of great power.'
Ares: 'I won't do it!'
Doom: '.. hmmm.'
Doom intensifies the pain.
Ares: 'AAGHAGH!'
Back at the mobile base Excalibur is trying to heal Guillotine.
Excalibur: 'I can't heal it any further, it must be because it was caused by your sword'
Guillotine: ' where is everyone? I just noticed.. Braddock is gone and so is Ares.'
Excalibur: ' Braddock said he had a meeting in London to get information on Dooms artifacts..but I don't know where Ares is.'
Guillotine: 'I am pretty unwell..but you could ask Peri to try to track Ares down.. we may need him, if Braddock comes back with good intel.'
Back in Stirlingshire Alan sits by his door waiting for 'that English guy' to come back..
Alan: {if he can still walk.. he seemed determined..}
Braddock comes round 20 mins after Alan knocking him out, gets up and proceeds to go back..
Braddock: 'WAIT WAIT WAIT.. don't hit me! you're obviously a powerful guy,
/Alan under breath: ye huv næ idea!'/
But I haven't shared something with you.. I'm Captain Britain.'
Alan: 'oh thyt hInglish guy.. fighting yon Nazi lookin guys.. aye Ah saw thyt oan the news.. '
Braddock: '..well British.'
Alan: 'If yur including mæ, thyt is a matter o' opinion.'
Braddock: 'Right. .. .. have I gained enough respect from you, for ONE answer to ONE question.'
Alan: 'naw.. bit go oan amuse mæ!'
Braddock: 'did you see a man dressed all in black with an old black 1940s car driving near here?'
Alan: 'The weirdo?'
Braddock: 'Weirdo?'
Alan: ' Aye there wis this guy awe in black, lang black o'wercoat wæ a black bowler hat.. Ah looked ayt him n' he gee mæ a bit o' a heidache.. didnæ like him, that's how come Ah remember yon.'
Braddock: looks in silence at Alan.
Alan: 'SO?.. Ah dinnæ ken anyhin' mær aboot him. looked hInglish, no Scottish. he hud black eyes a'naw.. ah dunno if thats o' any importance.'
Braddock: looks in silence at Alan.
Alan: ' hmph..riȝht Ah'll git ye a towel.'
Back at the mobile base..
Peri: I'm tracking his last location via satellite.. he was last seen.. in Latveria
Guillotine: < we MUST GO.. he has no idea how powerful Doom is!!>
Excalibur: < you can't go!! you are too injured!>
Guillotine is humiliated
Guillotine: 'bien.' (okay)
Peri: < We will go and try our best to retrieve him, if we cannot, we will return and wait for Cap, then all three of us will attempt a rescue.>
Guillotine: < WHERE IS BRADDOCK?>
Stirlingshire at Alan's door on a bench and chair..
Braddock wrapped in a large towel..{I wanna recruit this guy!.. also he seems vaguely familiar.. where do I know him from?}
Braddock: 'I'm kinda cold.. can we go inside?'
Alan: 'Ah'm fine.'
silence.
20 mins later and Alan has dozed off
Braddock needs the toilet and goes inside.
He is shocked to see the blue spiderman costume drying next to the open fire.
Alan walks in behind him 'nosey git!!'
Braddock: 'That answers a LOT of questions!'
Meanwhile Peri and Excalibur are in Latveria..
They are assessing the Castle..
Peri: on comms 'We need access to the Castle, perhaps there is a sewer on the blueprint that you can guide us?'
Guillotine: silence.
Peri: 'Guillotine please respond! please respond Guillotine.'
Excalibur : 'Guillotine come in!'
Guillotine: 'I'm here..but I can't.'
Peri: 'The blueprints should be on your monitor, if you have closed them by accident, click on the folder on the desktop it should have all the files we need in there.'
Guillotine: < it's not that.. I was making myself a coffee and.. I fell over, then I accidentally trapped my arm in this metal support for the bunk reaching for my coffee mug.. I can't stand up. everytime I try to move, my shoulder is an agony.. this happened 30 mins ago, but I was too embarrassed to say.>
Peri: 'wow..I could come back.'
Guillotine: < NO! I'm fine for now>
Peri: < I *just* don't feel right leaving you there.. helpless. Excalibur please wait here, I will return as soon as I can.>
Guillotine 'NO!'
Peri leaves Excalibur on a rooftop.
Soon after Excalibur climbs one of the castle towers and through a window she sees Doom in a castle studyroom.. he seems sad, and removes his mask..
Excalibur: {I can help heal him and return him to truth.}
Stirlingshire..
Braddock: 'YOU HAVE TO JOIN US! I'm not saying that like a demand or anything just.. we need you!'
Alan : 'Ye jist met mæ. Ye huv næ idea wit Ah'm lit.'
Braddock: ' You're a Scottish romantic right??.. my friend that I was helping is.. French!'
Alan: ' ohw!.. look Ah'm no wa'nt tæ help anywan. jist wa'nt lee in peace.'
Braddock: ' I know Peter Parker! He is one of the most noble and inspiring people I ever met..IF you want the world to know that 'Scotland' is good.. you have to get out there and show people!'
Alan: 'Ah think they ken fine.. naw wit you wa'nt is a wee dancin puppet wæ muscles ye kin point at folk ye dinnæ like and sæy 'sick 'em!' Braddock.. that's no me bi ony measure oar long shot!'
Braddock: 'You seem angry..how would you like endless 'bad guys' to beat up?'
Alan: 'Iyt's no the beatin up that piques ma interest!
Alan grabs Braddock and stares him straight in the eyes
Iyt's thit AH WA'NT TÆ KILL THEM!"
Braddock: Y'know.. we aren't squeaky clean either, we've been through some messed up stuff..'
Alan interrupts
Alan: 'BUT AH LIKE IT! makes me feel.. somhin! it's lit 90% o' ma emotions ur rage.. rest ur vagrants hinging aboot efter clæsin time!'
Braddock: 'ONE job. I'll pay you. At least meet the team.. two of them are French.'
Alan: 'Ah'm no needin' ony hInglish money.'
Braddock looks around at the old stone house from 200 years ago and sees the moldy bread on the sideboard..
Braddock: 'yes. yes you do.'
Alan: silence.
Peri is back at the mobile base helping Guillotine..
Guillotine: < AAGH! if I wanted to pull my arm off I would have done it already!>
Peri: < just relax.>
Guillotine: Do you think I am TRYING to be tense?
Excalibur over comms: < I am going to try to reach Doom.. he seems like he needs someone to heal him.>
Guillotine:NO!
Peri:NO!
Excalibur goes along the castle walls and enters a side door, she is two rooms away from the studyroom we saw Doom in earlier.
She quietly walks along the adjoining hallway.
Excalibur: {odd. there are no guards..}
She hears groaning from one of the other rooms and peaks inside,
there she sees Ares tied, exhausted.
Excalibur : 'be quiet and I will untie you.'
Ares: 'noo he's here'
Excalibur looks around and Doom is standing there, he had been out of her line of sight when she came in.
Doom lifts his hand.. and Excalibur the sword comes to him.. for a moment he experiences great pain, but taking a druid artifact from his pocket he wraps it around Excalibur the sword and the pain stops.
Doom: 'Well this IS a fine weapon! I am fast beginning to have a great armory!'
Doom pulls out an Ares chain and whips it around Excalibur's throat.. he then plunges the sword into her cutting her in two, as she is in two the chain begins to burn hotter until she is turned to ash.
Ares: 'NOOOOOOOOooo!'
Doom: 'I like it.. it has 'style'.. I think you will be my weapons making factory for some years to come!'
Braddock and Alan are at Pancras International Train Station in London..
Braddock: 'did you bring it?'
Alan: 'shut it.'
Braddock stares at Alan in silence.
Alan: 'aye. bæth the suit an' the passport.'
Braddock: 'it'll be quick then we can group with the others and get centered.'
Alan: 'Ah hear France iys a bit o' a nazi clown circus riȝht noo..'
Braddock: 'We'll just keep our heads down and we should be fine.'
Back at the mobile base.
Guillotine over comms: Excalibur come in. come in Excalibur.
Peri:Excalibur respond please... perhaps she is out of range?
Guillotine: < We both know these are satellite comms.. they don't go 'out of range'.>
both look at each other worried.
Guillotine says sadly and slowly: where is Braddock?
Braddock and Alan are close by.. walking up to a checkpoint.
Hydra Guard: < identification papers please!>
Braddock hands him some papers.
He hands them back.
Hydra Guard: Identification papers please!
Alan hands him some papers.
Hydra Guard: < some of these papers have expired.>
Alan speaking French < I am very sorry about that, I'm Scottish and don't travel much.>
Hydra Guard: It's okay for now.. just make sure you update those papers as soon as possible.
Alan: I will.
They walk away and Braddock says:
'You speak French??.. that'll be handy here.'
Alan: 'Romantic mind?'
We see from inside the mobile base.. and hear a 'thunk' of the door being opened..
Braddock closes the door behind them.
Guillotine: < WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?>
Peri:'Good to see you Cap.'
Guillotine looking at Alan:< who is this?>
Alan:< Hullo, I am Alan Mackay, Braddock says I can help you with a.. job?>
Guillotine: This isn't a workplacement for normal people.. you will get yourself killed..
Alan: 'please continue..'
Guillotine: '.. this will be handy! good find Braddock.'
20 mins later and everyone is up to speed on the current situation.
Alan and Braddock are suited and booted.
Guillotine:< What should we called you in the field?>
Alan:'The Widow-Spider'
Guillotine: 'It's a bit long, but you have to earn your nickname.'
Alan:< normal for everywhere.>
Alan smiles.
Alan: 'Let's hit the toon!'
Two hours later and Cap, Peri,Widow-Spider are at Castle Von Doom sneaking in the same door Excalibur did.. and down the same hallway.
Widow-Spider hits the floor in agony..
Alan: 'Ma spider sense iys goin aff the chart!..
Oh Ah'm so goiny kill who did this tæ mæ!!'
The doors fly off the room Ares is being held..
Doom floats out..
Doom: 'There's more of you? well isn't this just my day for benchmarking on target practice dummies!HAHA'
Doom makes both swords fly out and they hit Captain Britain pinning him to the wall, but The Widow-Spider doesn't miss a beat..
His acrobatics give Doom a hard target to hit..
Doom: 'so it's more than just a costume.. your 'like' him.'
Widow-Spider : Ye huv NÆ idea pal!'
Alan grabs Doom and knocks him to the floor, webs him and grabs the web, then leaps on top of him repeatedly smashes his face, then Alan *snaps* and starts shouting
YE STOLE MA LIFE, YE STOLE MA LIFE
Doom's mask begins to break. the whole time this has been happening he has been channeling pain toward and using mystical weapons against Widow-Spider..but no reaction.
YE STOLE MA LIFE, YE STOLE MA LIFE
Dooms mask is almost shattered.. he begins to worry.
Peri releases Ares..
Ares: 'NOW WE GOT A FIGHT!'
whipping his hand out a chain appears from it.
Doom struggles to get free and manages to as Ares begins to make a lavaportal below him
Alan sitting in a daze on the floor whispers: 'Doc Connors ye stole ma life..'
As Doom escapes by ramming and
Guillotine on comms: Sounds like we got Ares back.. don't wait! Doom won't be afraid for long..
Alan whispers now standing, stunned.. : 'doc connors.... doc connors..'
Peri free's Cap of the swords.
Peri: < Well at least these can be returned> he says smiling at Cap.
Cap smiles back. just then.. a sharp whistling sound they grab their ears and the swords are gone.
Alan: why did ye'z let the swords go? Ah saw thum fly oot the windæ.. man this hus bin a weird bit also therapeutic dæy fur mæ.. Ah'm knacker'yt. Wer's the pizza ayt?'
