Jurisdiction(OPEN)

[Wyld Katt]

It was 10 o'clock at night and hundreds of people were all gathered around an apartment building. Surrounding the building was police, SWAT and even a few vehicles Danny quickly recognized as SHIELD. Standing on a rooftop near by was Danny and his team, watching the building intently. Every now and then something, or some ignorant cop would be thrown out a window.

"Stupid."

Danny made a quick motion with his hand and his team made their way down to the street and over to where command central was. There were chiefs and some SHIELD agent arguing over jurisdiction.

"That's enough."

Danny said loud enough, causing, except the SHIELD agent, to jump. A few injured cops and agents looked up as more ambulances also arrived.

"I'm agent Daniel Foley with the BPRD. This is our investigation now and we're running things. You don't like it, go away."

Danny flashed a badge before pocketing it again. Danny's men gripped their strange rifles tightly, expecting something to happen. Danny just stood under the tent which was now being pelted with a light rain with his arms crossed. Suddenly a table flew from some floor, smashing through the tent and at Danny's feet. Danny didn't flinch and just looked at everyone.

'Why should we listen to you? I'm SHIELD and this is clearly some act of terrorism, this is my show.'

"Oh you should listen to me if you enjoy not being a minion."

Danny opened his mouth and revealed his fangs.

"I haven't even eaten yet. Now shut up and order your men out and to stand away. And get those people back!"

Just then he felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around and sighed.

"You want to try and dick with me too?"

[Superboy]

He raised a brow when the B.R.P.D. officer asked him if he was going to be giving him trouble as well. He knew that during this time that different branches of various governments fought in turf wars, where as in the future each government had one branch that handled everything so that turf wars didn’t happen. It was certainly going to take some getting used to on his part.

“Can’t say that I was. I was just heading back to Metropolis from Gotham when I noticed all the sirens and figured that I’d lend you guys a hand,”[/b][/I] he said as he crossed his arms over his chest. “However if you don’t need the help then I’ll be on my way and leave you guys to do whatever it is you’re doing.”[/b][/I]

Looking over the different men and women, he caught a couple whispering among each other about him. It was obvious that they had recognized the shield on his chest and knew he was a Kryptonian. He could only imagine what they would think if they knew that his mother was the very Supergirl who was once Earth’s greatest hero.

[Liezel "Nightprowler" Wagner]

Liezel sighed as she had been on another mission with a few of her team members. She had gotten a call from one of the other teammates that had been left back at home. She shook her head when the call came in and looked around before ordering the rest of her teammates to head on home. Thankfully, Liezel was in New Jersey at the time of the call so it wouldn't take too long for her to get there. Liezel closed her eyes and poofed to a location in New Jersey that she knew before making her way towards the scene. She paused carefully and looked around before seeing a lot of commotion under a tent nearby. A heavy sigh escaped her lips once more before she closed her eyes and poofed into one of the many S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles. After a moment she stepped out, making sure her image inducer was working and walked up to the small tent, not minding the rain. She knew her image inducer was water proof. A light sigh escaped her lips as she noticed police officers, her team members, and another group. Liezel tilted her head to the side when he showed his B.P.R.D. badge.

Liezel heard the ambulances and looked around at the wounded before she heard her teammate smart off to the B.P.R.D. agent. A glare formed on her face as both agents seemed to insult one another. It wasn't until the B.P.R.D. agent, known as Daniel if she caught the name correctly, turned around, mouthing off to Superboy. Liezel grinned, shaking her head a moment before she walked up. "Why don't we all just calm down for a minute, okay? There's obviously a misunderstanding," she said as she walked past the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. They all quieted and backed away. "I'm Liezel Wagner, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. What seemed to be the problem here?" Her voice soft, but her stance showing both authority and annoyance. She couldn't believe that her team brought her in for this. It was ridiculous. Couldn't they handle this situation? She supposed not since they called her in.

[Wyld Katt]

"Sorry, sorry."

He said with a sigh before realizing he had just been yelling at Superboy. Not a great thing to do, but luckily Superboy wasn't quick to anger, as far as he knew. He'd accept his help, provided he did things his way. He and his men were possibly the only ones who actually knew what they were dealing with in there. And the longer they waited the less building would be left. Even worse he knew this was just a first wave demon. Then he turned and heard a familiar voice from his past. She didn't seem to recognize him but he knew her. They'd gone to Xavier's together, naturally. Of course he preferred the real her, but that was a different matter all together.

"You guys called in your boss?"

He asked with a raised eyebrow before shaking his head. He approached her so just her, him and Superboy were together and grabbed his badge.

"Daniel Foley, Agent of the BPRD. There's a telekinetic demon running around in there so this falls under our jurisdiction."

He didn't like being all professional and everything with an old, not so close friend but it was necessary in times like this. He looked around, smiling a bit as his men seemed to have an air of dominance about them, smirking over at the SHIELD men and women.

"We'll accept your help Liezel but know we're running things here as we're the only ones equipped to handle this. As your men and the police force has proven."

Daniel said, motioning to the ambulance and the injured soldiers and cops.

[Superboy]

“Hey whoa,”[/b][/I] he said as he stepped between the two department heads. “Have you guys forgotten that we are all on the same side here? Now look, if we are going to save the day then we need to stop fighting over who is in charge. The more you two stand out here and argue over who’s in charge the more damage that is going to be caused by this demon.”[/b][/I]

Danny wasn’t too fond of running in there and facing down a demon, especially since it was a supernatural creature that could injure him or even kill him. One of his family’s best kept secrets was the fact that Kryptonians could be hurt by magic and demons fell into that category. But it was a hero’s duty to save people, not matter the cost and that is what he was going to do.

“So what’s the deal with this demon Foley?”[/b][/I] He asked as he put his hands on his hips. “What are it’s weaknesses?”[/b][/i]

[Liezel "Nightprowler" Wagner]

Liezel shook her head a bit when the B.P.R.D. agent asked her agents if they had seriously called in their boss. She nodded her head and sighed before she spoke. "Sadly, they did. Apparently they can't handle the situation by themselves," she growled, looking at her men, who looked stony on the outside, but they couldn't hide the fear in her eyes. Usually, Liezel was perky and fun loving, but the moment you failed her, all hell was going to break loose on your group. Not that she'd abuse them, but training would feel like hell. Liezel looked back at the man approached her and Superboy. She tilted her head to the side before hearing him speak. His name was somewhat familiar to her. "Daniel Foley? ...you went to Xavier's didn't you?" She asked before thinking better of asking. When he spoke to her again, she nodded her head and opened her mouth to say something when Superboy stepped in between them.

Liezel chuckled and gently put her hand on Superboy's chest, pushing him out of the way from between the two of them. "Calm down, Superboy. I'm not picking any fights around here. My men are the ones who can't seem to handle the fact that this isn't our jurisdiction anymore. If Agent Foley is correct, and this thing is a telekinetic demon, then it's technically B.P.R.D. who is in charge, not us." A sigh escaped Liezel's lips before she looked over towards the injured men around her. She shook her head. Her men were idiots sometimes. She looked up at Daniel. "Alright. What do you want us to do?" She asked, already having a plan for the idiot who called her here for this.

[Wyld Katt]

"Not arguing, just poking fun at her SHIELD agents."

He said with a slight laugh before turning back towards Liezel and smiling. Apparently he was the only one who'd instantly recognized the other.

"Yes, we went there together. I mean how many cat vampires do you meet?"

He asked with a laugh before leaning in closer to her.

"And personally I've always felt you were more beautiful in your REAL form."

He said with a wink before turning back to the matter at hand.

"Alright, here's the deal with this demon. He's tiny, 2 feet tall, with skinny arms and short stubby legs. WHat he lacks in size he makes up for in power. His telekinesis is on a magical level making general combat against it far more complicated. He's immensely powerful. The fact the building hasn't been thrown down the block means he's not bored yet and the portal needs to be protected."

He said nodding his head. He grabbed his revolver and began checking the rounds as well as the extra rounds. He grabbed his silver staff and tossed it to Liezel.

"That's pure silver and blessed, it's a good weapon. My men will go in and locate the portal since this demon is only the first wave. My men will locate the portal and the followers and take care of them by any means neccesary. Superboy, Liezel and what's left of SHIELD will come with me and we'll take out the demon....hopefully. I want the local cops to get these people back further."

A whirling sound could be heard as a silver platter went through the tent and hit Wyld Katt in the head. He fell and a sizzling could be heard. His men instantly rushed forward and removed it along with some of his scalp.

"Ok...now I'm pissed! Let's move out!"

He said before walking towards the building, his scalp beginning to grow back.

[Superboy]

He raised a brow at the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. when she pushed him out of the way. Even though she was able to admit that she and her men were out of their jurisdiction, she was quick go on the defensive about not starting a fight. He could only surmise that as the Director of a major organization that she had to really be careful about what was said or done by her and her men.

He was about to say something when the two started going on about how they knew each other from Xavier’s school and how Foley preferred Wagner in her true form. To Dan-El that meant that she was either a shape shifter or had some technology that allowed her to alter her appearance. Then they finally got down to business and Daniel soaked everything in. He didn’t like the idea of there being a portal that could allow more demons to cross over or that something so tiny packed such a punch. Made him hope that nothing bigger had crossed over or ever would.

“So what exactly is our...”[/b][/I]

He didn’t get a chance to finish as the silver platter whizzed by him and into Foley’s head. Wincing at the sight, he was about to help the man when his Bureau agents showed up, and removed the platter from his head. Luckily the injury didn’t kill the man and he was able to get back up quickly.

“I should have just kept flying,”[/b][/i] he said to himself as he followed after Foley.

[Liezel "Nightprowler" Wagner]

Liezel chuckled when Daniel said that he was only poking fun at her agents. She shook her head a moment and opened her mouth to respond when he answered her question. She chuckled and nodded. "Very true," she said before he said that he always found her more beautiful in her real form. A light blush formed on Liezel's cheeks and she shook her head. She punched him on the arm playfully. "You always were the flirt," she said to him before looking over at Superboy for a moment before she looked back at Daniel and listened to his words. She raised an eyebrow when he started to describe the demon and then shook her head. Great. I'm dealing with a two foot demon that looks like a deformed walking stick. Perfect, she thought to herself before she heard what he could do. "Great," she said sarcastically when he finished before he grabbed his revolver.

When Daniel threw her the staff, she caught it with ease and twirled it before nodded to him. "Got it." She turned to her men, her eyes flashing for a moment. Her men approached her, almost skeptically before Superboy spoke. As he did, a large silver platter whizzed back and smacked Daniel in the back of the head. Her face distorted in empathy as she heard the sizzling and looked down at the fallen Wyld Katt. Liezel sighed and shook her head. Oh boy, she thought before he said that they were going to move out. Liezel nodded and motioned for her men to follow her before hearing Superboy's mutter. She giggled a little and nudged him playfully, as if they were friends. "Tell me about it," she said.[/blockquote]

[Wyld Katt]

"It's what I do, you know that. Although I only flirt with the attractive ones."

He said smirking a bit. But now the time for laughter was over, this was a time for seriousness. No doubt Daniel's men were a little confused seeing him laughing so close to mission time. Usually by now he was all business. And that platter to the head changed that. No more humor for him, not yet at least. As they walked his men began to position themselves at various windows as Daniel walked up to the door. He nodded his head and the men burst into the windows. Daniel kicked the front door open and slowly walked in to the building. He noticed several of his men going down a flight of stairs now. Daniel nodded his head to some of Liezel's men and told them to begin checking this floor before going up the stairs, gun drawn. Crashing could be heard all around them from the flights above.

"Be ready, he won't try to kill you....right away."

[Superboy]

“Well that’s reassuring at least,”[/b] he said sarcastically as they walked into the door.

Dan-El was still unsure of how deal with the situation. He had never dealt with a demon before or any real magical creature. Daniel knew about magic from the Zatara family, but never had to fight against it. It seemed that this would be his first trial, a trial that he hoped he passed.

Using his x-ray vision, he looked around the area in which they were standing, and spotted the small demon several floors above them. It seemed like the ugly looking cretin was having fun throwing expensive items all over place. Near the small creature was something he had never seen before, something that he guessed was the portal.

“He’s four floors up. He’s trashing the place like a trouble child on crack. How much longer that entertains him I don’t know. And I think that the portal is in the room with him...at least I think it’s the portal that I saw,”[/b] he said as he turned to Foley and Wagner.

[Liezel "Nightprowler" Wagner]

Liezel sighed and looked around. How in the hell did she get herself into these situations? She should have just kept flying but nooo, her men had to call her down here because they couldn't handle it themselves. It was a simple misunderstanding and none of her men had the balls to man up and say," Yeah, sorry, man, I messed up. This is your jurisdiction, not mine. How can I help?" No, of course not. Liezel wanted to fire someone, but she knew she didn't have the heart to actually do it. These men were loyal to her and as such had always treated her with the up most respect. Of course Liezel treated them well, even though every once in a while these things happened, reminding her that her men weren't always able to handle everything. It was okay though, she didn't expect them to handle everything all the time, though that would be rather nice...

Liezel heard Superboy's words and sighed. "Just great," she muttered bitterly before shaking her head. She looked at Daniel. "Any kind of plan here, Daniel or are we just rushing in blindly?" She asked, wondering if the mutant halfbreed in front of her had any plan at all. Even back in the Institute, that Liezel remembered, Daniel hardly ever had a plan. He went in blindly, succeeded, but still, it was blindly. Liezel always had to cover some idiots tracks though so they wouldn't get caught. Then again, those were the old days. Perhaps Daniel had grown up a little and now thought about what he was going to do before he just ran in and did it, forcing Liezel to cover him and make sure he didn't die.

[Wyld Katt]

"We need to lure him away from the portal so my men can seal it."

He said stopping and facing them. He knew this would be risky but it had to be done. He quickly radioed his men with an update and a plan was hatched. They'd lure him a few floors up so the portal could be sealed and hopefully nothing else came through.

"Just so you guys know, if we fail there is a plan B."

Was all he said before looking up to where the Demon was.

"Follow me and be ready to avoid flying stuff."

He said with a nod of the head before he began to jump from railing to railing before eventually stopping on the floor where the demon was. He listened, knowing he was inside the hallway. He looked around knowing they would be right behind him. He slowly opened the door before slamming it shut as various sharp objects impaled himself in the door.

"I think he knows we're here...."

[Superboy]

He didn’t know just how reassuring it was that they had a Plan B when they really didn’t have much for a Plan A, but this wasn’t his show. It was Foley’s and he had to trust that the man knew just what he was doing. The guys was in charge of the BRPD after all.

So when Daniel started running up the stairs, he was right behind him. When Foley opened the door, the young Kryptonian was ready to act. He didn’t have to do anything though as the government agent slammed the door shut again.

“You don’t say,”[/b][/I] he said with a grin. “So how do you suggest we lure him out? Or do you want me to just go in and let him throw things at me for a bit? Or I could probably just knock him the hell out. Can you even knock demons out?”[/b][/i]

Man am I ever in over my head, but it’s too late to back out now. Gotta see this through to the end.[/i]

[Liezel "Nightprowler" Wagner]

Liezel looked at Daniel, waiting for his response before he said that they needed to lure it away. She nodded, thinking that was the easy part before following him and Superboy up the stairs with ease. She had heard Daniel radio his men and shook her head at him before she continued to make her way down the hallway. She sighed gently and looked around the building. This looked like an old apartment building of hers, not that it really mattered anymore seeing as she practically lived on the S.H.I.E.L.D. base. She shook her head as Daniel spoke once more, saying to look out for flying stuff. It was then that he opened the door...and then quickly slammed it shut.

Liezel blinked upon seeing the points to knives sticking out through the wood of the door. She blinked. "Do you want me to go in there? I'm faster than the two of you and with my teleporting ability, I can keep it distracted enough for your men to seal the portal," she said seriously, looking at Daniel. She looked at Superboy sheepishly after she realized that she had said that she was faster than the two of them. She was sure Superboy was faster, but she meant teleporting wise. "Plus, if I can get a hold of him, I can poof him into the portal and back out while your men seal it shut," she said, her attention turning back to Daniel. "Or we could do as Superboy suggested and send his invincible butt inside to knock the little bastard out," she said with a grin as her eyes flashed gold, showing her other wordly nature.
