6/12/13: DIABOLICAL DEATHTRAP FOILED - BANE RESCUED

PARTICIPANTS: Zephyr, James Star, Loup Garou, Green Lantern (apologies to Jurgen, who wanted to join at one point, but skype would not permit the extra person)

Zephyr responded to Loup Garou's distress signal by summoning Green Lantern for a quick hyper-flight to New York.

Meanwhile Loup was fighting Sabretooth atop a 10 story building. The two traded blows for a round or two, until Sabretooth started attacking the building beneath Loup's feet instead of Loup himself, forcing Loup first over the edge of the roof, then down to the street below in a rain of debris which injured (or killed) a number of bystanders. While Loup was below, Sabretooth disappeared from the rooftop (leaping in the other direction) just as Green Lantern and Zephyr arrived via a green-hued hyperflight portal.

The two of them followed Loup, who was zeroing in on the building he had originally identified as likely holding Bane. They found a wall and burst through it, entering into a hallway. Loup and GL burst through an inner wall to find the vat of acid and Bane dangling above it in a glass tube, while Zephyr followed the outer hallway around to one side, to find Sabretooth there confronting her. He leapt at her, missing, and began to shimmer as some device on his wrist activated. She got in a good blast of air, knocking him back into and partially through a wall, before he shimmered more, and vanished into thin air.

Inside the Vat Room, GL grabbed Bane's tube with a green energy field, and pulled it towards the exit, and although he almost dunked it into the acid, managed to pull it to safety. However, the movement of the vat triggered targeting of the 10 lasers around the room, and Loup leapt over the vat to draw their motion sensitive firing mechanisms away from Bane, saving her tube from severe damage (but getting blasted through the far wall himself). With Bane finally freed (although unconscious), Green Lantern suggested vacating the premises in case Joker had booby trapped the whole building. Zephyr, Loup and GL quickly left the scene.

At this moment, James Star (who had been monitoring the whole battle, invisibly) check the building for traps, and found that the entire vat of acid was in fact lined with explosives, with enough force to blast the entire building to pieces, and in the process shower concentrated hydrochloric acid for blocks around. Star quickly activated his communicator, calling Zephyr and GL back into the building.

While Loup took Bane to safety at a hospital nearby, GL put a force field around the building and Zephyr used her military science expertise to defuse the explosives before they had a chance to go off.

Although no sign of the Joker or NOMAD was found, and Sabretooth appears to have escaped, Bane was rescued and the day was saved by AlertForce, yet again.
