Let's Figure This Out

Matt Walker's office is in the upstairs portion of a two-story building near Chicago's South Side, which isn't in the best repair. Still, he calls this place his home away from home and the place where the work he does to finance his /real/ job is done.

He gets inside and takes off his duster, draping it over the back of the chair before sitting down heavily. Still no word on Austin Caine, still no leads, and Matt was reasonably sure that whatever those cultist had summoned was going to make its move soon. He considered calling Ian for advice, or Doctor Strange, but decided he wouldn't. He had to help put this together and then stop it.

He picked up the phone and called the rest of the team, asking them to come to his office.

Anselm is not accustomed to answering a summons. Certainly not since his youth. However, once he learned of things that roamed Chicago, he knew he couldn't just leave town. Joining forces with the good doctor and the wizard seemed to be the only recourse he had.

He arrived early and made his way to the office. He half hoped the hellhound would not be present. The other half thought he might need the occasional translation.

Shelly, on the other hand, was hoping for Whisper's presence. She'd been getting lunch for herself and Matt when she got the summons so she went ahead and picked up a few more cheeseburgers, three of which were for Whisper. She arrived with a couple of bags of food in tow.

Perhaps not the most secretive way, but Michelle had taken the gliding route here, landing on the windowsill. She rapped on the window to let them know she was here.

Karen arrived after getting off duty and finishing her work for the day she still had a ton of research to get through for her little pet project.

She parks her motorcycle out front and knocks on the door to be let in.

"Cheeseburgers? Excellent. I'm starving." Matt says, going over to kiss Shelly on the cheek before heading to the window to let Michelle in.

"I hope you didn't bring any for Whisper. He's at home lamenting the hard life of a dog through sleep." Matt says, opening the window and stepping back.

"As soon as Karen gets here, we'll start. There's a lot to cover." he says.

When Karen knocks on the office door, Matt goes to open that as well.

"Speak of the devil. Everyone is here and I think it's time we clue them in on what's going on." he says to Karen.

"I'll just have to swing by your place when we're done here and give him his, spend some quality time. I'm sure he'll have some mournful lamenting for me."

She handed Matt the bag of food and found a place to sit down.

"So what's going on?"

Anselm sank back into the corner out of the way. In a group of individuals that included a wizard, a voodoo practitioner and a near-vampire, he was wary of being exposed.

Matt looks at Michelle with a raised eyebrow.

"Did a demon go after Caine?" he asks her.

"Caine just... kinda vanished," Michelle explained, quickly outlining the attempted break in, the appearance of the vengeance demon, and her inability to find anything after.

Matt curses aloud as Michelle relays the story. This had just gone from bad to worse. How did he not put this together sooner?

"Here's the issue, everyone. Four days ago, we found the bodies of a group of cultists after a summoning ritual. The lone survivor said that there was another survivor, who turned out to be Austin Caine. Yes, that Austin Caine. The movie star. Over twenty people dead from summoning whatever they summoned.

Somehow, Caine walked away from it. Twelve hours later, his ex-girlfriend two members of the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club turn up dead on a road outside town. Both sites had sulfur and hellfire residue around them, but I didn't put it together right away.

We've been looking for Austin Caine ever since, but he's defeated my ability to track him down. I asked Michelle to keep a watch on his place and she found the Hell's Angels gearing up to attack him, but a creature showed up to deal with them.

Michelle, that wasn't a /demon/ you ran up againstand it's not a demon we've been looking for." Matt says, taking a deep breath and shaking his head.

"I think Austin Caine is possessed by a Spirit of Vengeance and that means Chicago is about to become a battlefield." Matt tells everyone.

"Does anyone here /not/ know what a Spirit of Vengeance is?"

"Fuck me," Shelly hisses and does, in fact, facepalm. "This is bad."

Across Town- Hell's Angel's Club House
[info]from_hell
2011-08-17 11:10 pm UTC (link)
Vengeance stood outside the Hell's Angels' club house staring at the building as he had since he arrived half-an-hour ago.

No one had come to face him, but he knew they were inside.

"I will not leave quietly, murderers. You will pay for the innocent blood you have spilled! Give me the one among your number who ordered the murder of Sarah Preston and he will be dealt with first!." Vengeance says, his voice booming up and down the street.

"Resist and I will come in there and tear him out! Thrice I ask and done." Vengeance says, ending request number three.

When there is no answer, he reaches down near the rear of the bike and draws forth a very cruel-looking shotgun, with numerous barbs and spikes.

Dismounting the bike, Vengeance begins to walk toward the entrance of the club.

Karen arrived first on her motorcycle and immediately went to find the officers there already so that she could tell them to back off. She didn't want any of them getting hurt during this by accident.

Her ability to glide got Michelle there fairly quickly, taking up a place on a rooftop across the street.

Matt appears next to Karen, his staff and blasting rod at the ready. He adjusts his hat and duster, looking over to Vengeance.

"Okay, I'm going in first. Back me up." Matt says.

Karen didn't like letting someone go into harms way for her but she could tell when she was in over her head.

Karen nodded. "OK," she says as she pulled out her gun. It wasn't her usual hand gun. This seemed like it needed something bigger, her p-90. She also had coated her bullet with holy water thinking maybe it might help here.

Anselm required a more normal mode of transportation. He didn't drive, and the bus system was out of the question. Taxi it was, using most of his cash to get to a place a few blocks away. He hurried from there to join the others.

Shelly had learned that traveling via Matt was a dicey adventure at best and since she didn't want to end up motion sick by the time of arrival, she chose to send herself there using an incantation Matt hat taught her but that she'd asked her father to help her perfect.

Jericho'd bitched about it until she pointed out she could use it to come visit him more often. That seemed to do the trick.

At any rate, Shelly popped up just a moment behind Matt, a few moments before Anselm arrived. They would have to work on a more unified mode of transport in the future.

"Looks like I'll follow."

"So what's the plan? Other than not dying."

Matt looks to Michelle.

"Well, I was going to go with not dying and figure out something else on my way over. All right, I have a very serious question for everyone here.

Has anyone here ever killed an innocent person? Like child or an elderly person or the like? If you have, it would be a good idea to stay out of this guy's way. He punishes people who spill innocent blood, but if you haven't, the worst he can do is beat you to a pulp." Matt says.

As Matt speaks, the door to the club house opens and twelve members of the motorcycle club emerge with various types of automatic weapons, shotguns and the like. They form a human barrier between Vengeance and the club house.

"Listen, Ghost Rider. We're sick of your shit. You got until the count of ten to clear out and leave Chicago. After that, we're gonna send you back to whatever Hell your crawled out of, asshole." says a rough-looking man with a gray-haired crew cut and an angry expression.

"We ain't gettin' hunted no more after tonight."

The men begin cocking their weapons.

Vengeance stares down each of the men in turn, looking for any sign of weakness or fear. These men aren't warriors; they're simply bullies and predators. A few of them are stone-cold killers, have spilled blood on behalf of their organization.

"I want only the man who gave the order to kill Austin Caine and Sarah Preston. I will have him." Vengeance says. cocking the wicked looking shotgun and aiming at the man who threatened him.

"There will be no mercy for those who stand between that man and I."

And suddenly, he pivots and fires his shot at another man in the line, who is bathed in hellfire and begins to scream a long and horrible wail, falling to the ground and trying to pat himself out.

"None."


"KILL THIS ASSHOLE!" the lead man says, firing at Vengeance, heedless of the cops and civilians standing nearby.

Anselm uttered a heartfelt "Dear God" and pulled the nearest person with him to cover. He wouldn't die, but it would hurt like hell.
