Hartley, Texas
The small town of Hartley, Texas was not much more than a wide spot in the road that was situated about an hour northwest of Amarillo. The town was small and the surrounding area consisted of mostly ranches and farms and nothing special ever happened in Hartely.

Until a meteorite burned across the west Texas night sky and landed just outside the town on property belonging to one Martin Reynolds. Martin promptly hauled the meteor into town in his pickup. The townspeople all gathered around to see the hunk of space debris that had crashed to Earth.

The strange space rock was put in the center of town and over the next few days it was the center of the talk of the town and the focus of their attention.

	The call is forwarded directly to the gym, per Buck's request when they get priority calls, and put on speaker. "Avengers HQ, James Rogers... go ahead." he calls, knowing its from SHIELD, but not that Fury himself is on the line. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Rogers," came Nick's rough voice. "I need the Avengers assistance with a lil' problem I got in in Texas. Some weird stuff happenin' an all the agents that were sent in haven't been heard from." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yessir, Colonel!" he responds promptly, hitting the intercom. "Avengers Assemble! First one geared with a pilot's license, scramble the Quinjet and lay in a heading for Texas. Details forthcoming." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Nick almost smiled. Almost. "I'll send over all that we got so far. Fury out."

The screen went blank, but the computer was receiving a file from SHIELD. Inside will be the location, facts about the town and names and pictures of FBI and SHIELD agents that went missing.

Some satellite photos were included, but all they showed were a few overturned cars and trucks in the streets and some damage to the buildings on Main St.

	Buck lets someone else scramble the jet, since he has a fair amount of gear to get set up with, and he wants to review the file closely, including the personnel files and specialties of the missing agents while they're in takeoff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal was on the roof soaking up some energy from the sun when the alert went out. "I'm on my way," she said into comms. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Did I hear Texas?" Frances chirps up and slings on her gear, double time. "I'm not suggesting we play hooky, but if there's some way to accidentally land in Driftwood, there's one hell of a smokehouse over there. Meat-falls-off-ribs good and the prime rib hangs off the plate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Orlen was playing with his playing cards when he got the alert, This was it game time. He closed his eyes and teleported into a jet. He realized it was the wrong one when there was no one there. "damn it" he got out and walked off the ramp to the other quinjet. "Sorry guys teleporting ain't what it cracked up to be!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think the Colonel would have my head if we took a side trip - but if we figure out what happened to their agents, and come out of this in the same number of pieces we went in with, dinner in Driftwood is on me, Frances." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Four days later.... jackmurdock 2012-04-22 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Jack swung into a seat and settled in. "I feel sorry for Fury if we don't come back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Four days later.... fleetfootmac 2012-04-22 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Mac shrugged. "Any teleportation you can walk away from, dude. And sounds like a good plan, Buck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"None that I would care to think to much about," Nicolai says. With his father it was hard to tell when he could show up or where he was. "That plan sound reasonable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mm, point. I'll check for any bovine in the rafters before we order, deal?" Frances settles in her seat and hums a little. "So, vanishing. Unless this town is some nexus of hoodoo, we're betting on science and/or aliens, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Four days later.... toni_rhodes 2012-04-22 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm betting aliens," Toni offered. "Space rocks usually mean aliens." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sarcastically claps his hands. "I call Brood! I bet its the Brood!" He smiled leaning back in te chair as the jet took off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm trying not to assume too much right off, but aliens are a definite possibility. No signs in the reports of past problems with the supernatural." (Reply to this)(Parent)
