Marvel Team Up (Noah)

[Miss Blonde]

Crime was still a very big problem on the republic world of Nar Shadda, where poverty existed the opportunity of illegal activities to gain wealth was always there. It was easy really, a kid could start selling spice to his friends and over the course of a few weeks he had enough to buy a speeder. It was easy, and most people did it here on Nar Shadda. However it was a dangerous game, a lot of the larger drug circles often killed or chased off smaller dealers that wouldn't join them or agree to pay taxes. This lead to a large gain in murders over the past year or so.

One of the larger drug circles known as Messiah 22, a large gang that operated in the most shady parts of the slums. It was a gang that was very hard to take down. There was no head of the snake and the organization consisted of multiple sets and shot callers that acted independent of each other. So if you cut one down another simply took it's place, what was worse was that the gang had begun smuggling operations to get spice into not only Republic worlds but Protectorate as well. Something needed to be done and fast, so a joint task force was set up. And by task force it meant two people, there was a war going on and there was not a lot of resources flowing.

So the Republic field agent Patricia Susan Garter sat in a booth of a dinner waiting on her new partner for this operation. She had read his file a man named [member="Noah Corek"]. Decorated war hero and protectorate officer, and rather cute to say the least. He had a dentist white smile a attractive jaw line. But more importantly he could handle himself in a fight. Patricia could trust the guy to watch her back.

The agent sat there in the booth wearing her tight red dress and denim mini jacket that went on top of it. She had intel and a target for the both of them and now all she had to do was wait.

Just like Patricia had read his file, Noah had read her file. Honestly there wasn't much there but her being a Republic Intelligence Field Agent, this didn't surprise Noah, but what was there was impressive. She had racked up quite a bodycount, she had pulled off operations from Bastion to Zonju V. Recently she had taken part in a number of operations aimed at free slaves in Wild Space, where slavery ran rampant due to Vong and Graug outposts and slave capturing areas dotting that entire section of space.

Physically Noah had to admit she was pretty appealing to the eyes. Blond and blue-eyed, she stood five feet and two inches, meaning Noah basically towered over her in height, she had a slender build which Noah didn't doubted that ninety-five percent of it was just muscle. Reading further Noah saw that she had a few problems with keeping her cool, moderation with alochol and not being distracted by the opposite sex, Noah chuckled because that sounded very much like him. The flaws were overlooked when Noah read her good qualities, she was strong-willed and a great gunslinger, perfect attributes for the task at hand.

Walking into the diner, Noah powered off the datapad he had been using to look at her file and scanned the diner quickly. Noah was dressed pretty casually, pair of cargo pants, a pair of works boots that looked more like combat boots, a plain grey t-shirt and a unzipped hoodie over it. Though under the hoodie Noah had two shoulder holsters, his left one carrying a Hekler'Kok P-2 and his right one carrying a Corek Custom Revolver. Slung over his shoulder in a duffel bag was his armor and weapons they would need, though Noah had no doubt Patricia had a safehouse with weapons in it, though it didn't hurt to be safe.

After scanning the bar Noah found his fellow task force member, if you could call a two person team that, and walked over to the booth she was sitting in. Plopping down in the seat opposite to her Noah sized her up. "I'm taking a guess and saying your Patricia."

Pressing a few holographic buttons on her Browncoat data logger the little agent was going over a few details on the job. A few gruesome images of bodies badly tortured and mutilated flicked across the screen and the woman read names of the deceased and times of death looking for any patterns she could. It wasn't terribly important to the job at hand but it was for the soul purpose to see where these people liked to dispose of bodies, if the first objective she had planned fell apart this was a good secondary. The woman heard a noise ahead of her, it was the man sent from the Protectorate, Noah.

Her gaze shifted up and her lips parted into a sweet smile, she looked him up and down before he plopped into the seat. He certainly was quite the stud muffin to say the least. Though ideas such as those would have to wait, there was work to be done. The woman flicked off the screen of bodies and let her forearm rest to the side. He spoke to her in a very firm voice of a soldier, a man with experience.

"The one and only, and you must be Noah. It's nice to meet you." She smiled again and spoke in a very casual and friendly voice.

Snapping her fingers she called out to a waitress. "Two Bloody Mary's and put some extra stank on those fuckers." She said not too loudly.

Shifting her gaze back to Noah she would give him a briefing of what was going on.

"So this is Messiah twenty two, a drug ring here on this jewel of a world. They call themselves this because they consist of twenty two individually operated sets each with their own governing commander and shot callers. Makes them almost impossible to track down and shut up, they've been peddling spice and glitterstim all over the outer rim and are starting to show up in not only republic space but OP as well. They are well equipped and know how to kill, but we have an opportunity to put them down for good." Patricia flicked on her data logger and it showed a man's mug shot and a wrap sheet as long as her arm.

"I got a rat that says there's going to be a meeting of all twenty two captains. Big movement we just don't know where it will be." Patricia looked to Noah and hoped he was following along with what she was saying. She really did not want to repeat herself

Noah returned her smile as he sat down and chuckled. "Oh I can assure you that the pleasure is all mine." Noah told her and the chuckled when she order two Blood Mary's. "Make that a mug of lum for me sweetheart." Noah informed the waitress and gave her a playful wink to which she giggled and nodded her hand and went to get their drinks they had ordered.

When Patricia started to speak, Noah listened intently guessing correctly that she was, like himself, a person that preferred not repeating herself. When she was done talking, Noah lightly slipped the data logger out of her hands, pulled his datapad out of the duffel bag and transferred all relevant files to his datapad so they both could review them at the same time.

"Oh trust me Patricia, I know the Messiah Twenty-Two drug ring all to well. From what MICO agents have been able to gather, MICO would be the Protectorates version of the GIA, they started out as a low level drug ring, it wasn't until the Republic kicked the Suns off of Nar Shadda that they were able to come into power. From what we've gathered the Suns saw them as a threat to their own operations and routinely cracked down on them but after the Suns were gone, they gained power." Noah informed her as he uploaded all the data gathered by MICO to her data logger.

Noah then took a look at the informant that she had acquired. "Are you sure we can trust this rat? I mean look at the rap sheet he has: Sexual Assault, Grand Theft Auto, Larceny, Arson, Vandalism and even Rape. This guy seems like he'd fit right in the the Twenty-Two, why would he help us?"

Letting Noah take her very expensive data logger she gave him a smile and allowed him to compare notes. A lot of the intel the protectorate exceeded that of the republic's. The protectorate had more intel more than likely due to the fact they weren't on the brink of extinction by the One Sith. Patricia was impressed and she gave a small cute giggle for it.

"You Protectorate types really have things figured out." She said keeping up her smile. The waitress soon came by and dropped their drinks off at their booth. Taking the Bloody Mary she sipped from a bendy straw and listened to him talk about if they could trust the man. To be fair no they could not trust him, he was a criminal like any other but Patricia was going to confirmation on this supposed meeting. That was step one in their plan.

"No we can't trust him, but he's got a power hungry complex about him. He thinks that if we knock out the competition he can rise to the top, you know the whole one ring to rule them all business." Patricia took back her data logger and slapped it back on her slender forearm. She smiled at him again and would go over the first objective they were to do together.

"However I do know of a way to confirm this. I recent tracked down a high ranking lieutenant in the eleventh set. He's staying at a safehouse not far from here." Lighting up her logger it displayed the street address and blueprints of the home. A few pictures of a blonde man in sun glasses walking inside with a couple of goons behind him.

"The way I see things we go to the safehouse find blondy and squeeze in for info. Anyone gets in our way we take them out." Patricia ran the plan past Noah and hopefully he could agree and the two could get some credible info on this meeting.

"Safe house has three entry ways. A balcony on the second floor, a back door and of course the front. I've staked it out the last few days and there can't be more then seven hitters inside."

Noah chuckled when she giggled, her giggle had a certain infatuation about it. 'Damn, I haven't felt that way in too long.' Noah thought to himself as he heard her comment about how the Protectorate had their stuff together. "Thank you, we pride ourselves on being accurate and doing what we can." Noah informed her and then sent all the rest of the files that he hadn't given her. Of course in his haste he had accidentally sent over a few personal things, a group photo from his old Commando days with his team, some contact info and a picture of Noah and his two daughter Melissa and @Sky.

Noah simply nodded when she mentioned that they couldn't trust the man. "So its a enemy of my enemy thing, I always found that that saying cuts both ways." Noah told her as he took a sip of his lum savoring the burn as it went down his throat. When she brought up a way to confirm if the meeting was really happening Noah listened intently, wanting to hear what she had to say. Nodding his head to her words, Noah looked when she showed him the address. Pulling up the address on his datapad, Noah used some skills to hack into the city archives and get the floor plans for the building. Pulling a small holo-projector to show a 3D model of the building.

"Alright we have three points of ingress. The front door, most likely the most guarded though, that could easily be fixed with automatic firepower, a large breaching charge and a flashbang. The back door is less guarded but could be booby trapped and the balcony would be least guarded not booby trap but we'd have to fight all seven of them to get out."

Looking at the three dimensional imagery of the house Patricia could see it had a bit more room to it than the average tightly packed slums of Nar Shadda. The house had a narrow alleyway running to the side of adjacent to the right wall where the bottom guest room was. More than likely their target was held up on the second floor and would have a few men with him. The bulk would be downstairs, however that alley could help them bipass both the boobey trapped back door and guarded front door. They could blow a hole in the wall and breach the side. Patricia formulated her thoughts and laid them out for Noah.

"There's a guest bedroom here, probably a place to stash spice. Along side it on the outside runs a small alley between houses. We can slip in there and breach the wall. Let's us take them by surprise and we can have the guy trapped upstairs." Forming a few holographic icons of themselves she used her data logger to place the formation of the plan. The two blue humanoid graphics blew open the wall and pushed inside to visually show the plan.

"Breach with shotguns and pistols, it will be tight in there." The woman said and looked up to Noah letting him retort. But before she could let him speak she got a few pictures of Noah with his contact info and a few pictures of him with his family. She giggled at the sight, not demeaning but more flattered at it. It made her think of her own daughter for a second but her thoughts went back to Noah. She giggled again and began to rub her bare foot against his shin.

"Oh I see your game Mister Corek. Maybe when this is over we can find a place to, compare mission notes." She said slightly drawing out the last few words to emphasize something else.

"It would be the professional thing to do." She gave him a cute little wink then took a sip from her Bloody Mary. She was eager to get this show on the road after all

 

[Noah Corek]

[member="Patricia Susan Garter"]

Noah looked down at her plan and decided to give her a alternate plan instead to see if she liked it. "I have a plan as well. Here let me see your data logger and show you." Noah informed her as he gently took the logger from her again and began to type in his plan. Suddenly the two humanoid figures shifted from being in the alley to being on the buildings roof. "Alright, you see this large office that connects to the balcony? Most likely the lieutenant will be in there. So what I'm thinking is that we place charges on the roof where the center of this room would be and we blow them, drop down into the room, kill his guards and then secure him. This cuts off his chance of escaping and since this room only has one point of entry and exit, we could easily just set up a field of fire and kill the rest of the enemy hitters once they open the door." Noah informed her as he gave her the logger back.

When giggled again Noah felt his heart flutter but was curious all the same and looked over to see what she was giggling about. Noah chuckled and saw what it was, he had mistakingly sent her a few personal items including some pictures and his contact info, though she didn't need to know it was a accident. Noah felt his heart flutter again when he felt her foot rub up against his shin. Noah grinned when she said what she said about comparing notes. "Oh really? I happen to have a nice little apartment I've rented here, very comfortable and very nice that we could compare notes in."

 

[Miss Blonde]

[member="Noah Corek"]

Talking about his rented apartment Patricia visually blushed and giggled again, the man certainly could pick up on a vibe. She liked that and she found it attractive about the man. He certainly was attractive, there wasn't an ounce of fat on him and he was all muscle. Certainly a perfect specimen.

"Well it's a date then." She said letting her words linger in a seductive manner. But there would be other times to think dirty thoughts and do nefarious deeds in dark places. Right now there was work to be done, and that work involved killing the crap out of the bad guys.

Taking her logger she smiled and had listened to his plan quite intently. Both certainly had their drawbacks and she was torn. So doing the only logical thing she grabbed a coin in her purse and set it I'm the table. It was a shiny and silver plated creation and had ornate drawings of politicians and monuments inscribed in it. Pushing the coin forward across the table she took another sip of her drink and spoke.

"Flip for it." She said in a perky and happy tone. She really couldn't decide so it was the next best option. Looking over outside to see the slums her speeder with her gear was parked and ready to roll. They just needed to pick a plan then they could boogey out of there.

"You flip." She said to him still perky and happy

 

[Noah Corek]

Noah chuckled when he saw Patricia blush, she seemed like one who didn't blush very often, so getting her to blush was probably either good or bad depending on the circumstances, which now it was probably good. Smiling Noah decided to tease her a bit and reached down and gave her foot a nice little tickle to try and see if she was ticklish.

"I guess it is a date then." Noah said off handedly and then looked at her as she contemplated both their plans. When she withdrew a coin from her purse he knew where it was going. He was surprised though when she slid it over to him and told him to flip. Personally Noah didn't really care which plan they used, both had the similar potential to fail and succeed, but he guessed it was all about who's plan was chosen and worked.

Grabbing the coin of the table Noah inspected it for a few seconds before deciding which side was heads was tails. "Heads we use your plan." Noah informed her as he showed her the heads side and then flipped it to show her the tails side. "Tails we use my plan." Noah informed her as he took the coin and set it in a good flipping position.

Flicking his thumb upwards, the coin went flying into the air and after going nearly a meter in the air, it came back down and Noah caught it. Flipping it and putting it on top of his hand, Noah showed it to Patricia to tell him what it was.

 

[Miss Blonde]

((Flipping a coin, tails))
[member="Noah Corek"]

Patricia giggled again softly when Noah tickled her foot. She made a sharp little "eep" and giggled again. She was indeed ticklish, she pulled her foot back and smiled at him.

"Now now Noah, you'll spoil your appetite." She giggled again then get focused shifted to that of the coin toss. This would be good, a plan based off a coin toss. It was something she had never done before, it was exciting to say the least.

Watching the coin spin in the air Patricia saw the light of the cheap dinner glint off the silver and sparkly coin. What would it be? The coin fell back earthbound into Noah's hand. He then went about the proper coin flipping manifest and was about to reveal the whose plan they were going to go with. Taking a short breath Patricia watched Noah reveal the coin to be.

"Tails." She said with a chuckle afterwards.

"well looks like it's death from above." Grabbing her Bloody Mary she drained the last of it and pushed it to the side. "Let's get to getting, we don't know how much longer he will be there." Patricia rose from the booth and stepped forward towards the door letting her fingers brush against Noah's shoulder on the way past him. It was time to lock and load

 

[Noah Corek]

[member="Patricia Susan Garter"]

Noah chuckled and shook his head a bit at the mention of spoiling his appetite. When the coins was revealed to be heads Noah smiled and nodded his head and handed the coin back to Patricia and stood with her, making sure to finish off his lum and put his datapad back into his duffel bag before slinging it over his shoulder and following behind her, his heart fluttered again when he felt her hands waft lightly on his shoulder as she passed.

Following her outside of the diner, Noah looked around for where to go. "So how are we going to get to the safehouse?" Noah asked as he stuck his hands inside of his pockets and waited for her answer.

[member="Noah Corek"]

The man caught up to her duffle bag in hand, he looked like someone going to the gym and not about to hit a safehouse of a powerful gang and abduct a wanted criminal. That was good, it was always nice to blend and what not. Exiting the dinner she flipped the cashier a hundo and walked down the steps to the streets. He then asked about how they were going to get to the safehouse, and that question warranted a answer.

"We'll take my car." Patricia kept walking down the street until she reached a very large and very pink speeder equivalent of a pink hummer. The massive speeder was built like a tank and had all the room for both her guns and extra "activities" with whoever she saw fit to indulge herself with in said activities. It may have been a little embarrassing for the officer to ride around in a pink hummer but the good thing about the car was that it could change colors so it wouldn't be pink very long. Popping open the trunk the floor was littered in guns of various shapes and sizes.

Grabbing a SXB Scrubber duel scatterblast and blaster rifle hybrid she loaded a few shells into it then primed it with a energy cell. Looking over to Noah she smiled and spoke.

"Feel free to take whatever." She said to the man. There certainly was a wide variety of weapons and they were all quite deadly, but the compact shotgun was hers for this engagement. The trunk held a Czerka Assault rifle, Czerka Sniper Rifle, Blast Tech Retaliator and two phrick fighting knives that he was welcome to take. Moving around to the driver side she jumped into the speeder hit the engine and the beast roared to life. Pressing a few buttons the hummer changed color to a dull grey to better blend.

 

[Noah Corek]

[member="Patricia Susan Garter"]

Noah raised an eyebrow when he noticed the vehicle in question. "That thing better change colors somehow." Noah said under his breath as he followed Patrica to the trunk and when it was opened, Noah whistled seeing just how many weapons Patrica had. "Oh I brought my own toys." Noah informed her as he sat his bag down in the trunk and unzipped it, pull out the weapons and equipment he had brought.

Reaching into his bag, Noah pulled out a blast vest for him and a extra one for Patrica. Pulling of his hoodie Noah put the vest on, snapping the buckles in place. Next Noah pulled out a facewrap and a pair of sunglasses, wrapping it around his face and putting the sunglasses on, Noah rooted around in the bag for his final piece of clothing, a tactical helmet which he set off to the side to put on later.

Rooting around in his bag once more, Noah pulled out a Corek Cutom PDW, a Corek Spec Ops Shotgun, two Hekler'Kok P-2's, his two trench knives, his Bodo Baas Gunbelt, two flashbangs, two frag grenades and a demo charge. Making sure everything was secure and he had some extra ammo, Noah grabbed his helmet and closed the trunk just as the car changed colors.

Walking to the passenger door, Noah hopped in and put his PDW and helmet up on the dashboard. "Alright lets start this party."

 

[Miss Blonde]

[member="Noah Corek"]

Patricia revved the engine on the now grey beast and set her Scrubber to the right in the middle console, safety on of course. The tiny woman waited for a moment and then Noah entered the passenger seat setting his rifle and helmet down on the dash. He had on a pair of sun glasses and a bandana or some sort of cloth on his face. Really gave him the whole desperado look, it was a nice look for him very gruff. Patricia let out a low happy scoff when Noah spoke, it was indeed time to start this party.

"Let's get turnt up!" Patricia let giggled again and the large speeder roared again and took off sky bound.

Hovering in the air hybrid speeder went up a few meters and merged into the fast lane. The safehouse was only a few miles from here and at the rate they were going they would be there in a few minutes. The speeder ducked and weaved it's way through traffic, the little agent girl moving the large speeder gracefully through the dimming light of the Nar Shadda sunset.

"So Noah, where are you from?" The woman said casually, she knew the planet on what the report said but she wanted to know where he was actually from, small town maybe. Noah seemed like a small town guy, but hey Patricia could be wrong.

The agent could see the safehouse coming up and so taking a hard left she pressed a few buttons on the terminal and the hummer changed colors to dim orange to match the background of the sunset. They would go on from the roof and take out whatever baddies were in the room and extract the target. Patricia smiled and let the hummer hover a few houses down from the safe house.

She then looked over to Noah and smiled putting a hand on his upper thigh grinning at him, she pulled herself closer to him and said in a very low tone of voice.

"Any last requests before we begin?" She began to gently pull down Noah's bandana, it always helped to give the man some motivation to live through this engagement.

 

[Noah Corek]

[member="Patricia Susan Garter"]

Noah chuckled a bit when she said for them to get turnt up, he found her kinda cute, for a spook anyway. The ride was nice, oh who was Noah kidding, riding through the slums of Nar Shadda was depressing. Seeing of the decrepit buildings and starving people made Noah sick. Not to mention the deals that stood on the corner of nearly every street, trying to get people to buy the goods.

When Patrica spoke up and asked Noah where he was from Noah could have lied and told her he was from somewhere else but Noah decided to tell the truth. "I grew up on Coruscant. Left at eighteen when I joined up as a Lieutenant and didn't see home for seven years after. I haven't been home since the Sith invaded and killed by parents. Too many bad memories there." Noah informed her.

When they finally got to the safehouse, Noah felt Patricias had on his thigh and pulled down his bandana asking if he had any last requests. "Only one." Noah said a bit slyly as he began to lean towards her.

Patricia moved closer to Noah slowly as she massaged his leg, she gently moved her handy up from his thigh up to his chest. Pushing closer she looked him in the eyes with her sharp blues before closing them and making kissing Noah. She let her tongue do a bit of exploring and was honestly having fun. Noah was pretty attractive and the woman couldn't help herself, being from Zeltros things were a bit different there. What with pheromones and parties, Patricia still had some of the party girl left in her. The sith had not taken from her just yet.

Patricia broke the kiss after a few seconds and her sweet lips parted to show a cute grin. She took a deep breath and gave Noah one last quick kiss on his lips. She wanted to tear his clothes off in the hummer and go to town on top of various weapons of death. But that would have to wait. Taking a deep breath she controlled her racing heart and put her hands back on the wheel.

"Oh when this is done." She said in a hushed tone of suppressed arousal. "The things I'm going to do to you." She put the speeder in gear and pressed a button to set it to a stealth mode then took it up over the roof of the safehouse. It was darker now and she had changed the color of the hummer to a darker grey to match the polluted sky. Grabbing her scrubber and a grappling device she looked to the stud muffin and spoke

"You ready?" She asked, they both knew the plan. Breach the roof and extract through the office. It would be an easy job hopefully

 

[Noah Corek]

[member="Patricia Susan Garter"]

Noah smiled as he closed his eyes and felt Patricia's lips on his, her soft lips and the fact that Noah could smell her hair which smelled faintly of both a floral shampoo, gunpowder and blaster bolts, this only turned Noah on, making him want to tear her clothes off as well and go to town on her, he doubted she'd have a problem with it either. When he felt her tongue inside of his mouth Noah decided to have some fun with her and began to twist and turn his tongue in sync with her.

"Down girl." Noah said jokingly when he heard what Patricia had mumbled under her breath that or said lowly, Noah was never really one that was able to distinguish between mumbling and saying things lowly, they both sounded the same to him.

Once they were parked on the roof and had gotten out, Noah pulled his bandana back on and slid his helmet on, making sure to buckle the chinstraps. Getting out, Noah remembered something in his bag her had forgot to grab. Opening the trunk and reaching into his duffle bag, Noah grabbed a particularly nasty looking sword and made sure that the sheaths strap was across his chest and the sheath was on his back.

When Patricia asked if he was ready Noah nodded and walked over to where the breach point was and planted the charge. After a few buttons were pressed Noah heard a satisfying beeping and held up six fingers, indicating they had six seconds.

[member="Noah Corek"]

Patricia stepped out onto the roof and held her SXB Scrubber, with her two Czerka machine pistols by her sides herself and Noah moved across the roof silently. Once Noah had set the charge it was go time, Patricia thought of her daughter for a moment and how much she loved her. Little memories and flashes of her past that one could not help but think about before diving into a hot situation. However she took those thoughts and memories and put them in a ball in the back of her head and refocused on what was happening right now. And right now they were about to kill a couple of bad dudes. The timer on the charge kept ticking and just like that they were on the final countdown.

Three
Two
One

Boom, part of the roof simply exploded inwards showering whoever was bellow it in shrapnel and wood. Patricia heard a pained cry coming from within. Taking a flash grenade she dropped it into the hole and whilst turning away the device went off and another loud grunt of discomfort and pain left the entry hole.

"Moving!" Patricia yelled and jumped down the hole. Hitting the rubble bellow her the blueprint of the house was not wrong, it was a large personal office slash bedroom. Bellow her a large man in a suit was pinned beneath a large piece of rubble, he was still disoriented and had no idea what was going on. Patricia saw him reaching for his gun and that was all the excuse she needed. Toggling the scattergun section of her scrubber she pulled the trigger and ventilated the mans chest for him in a shower of dirt and blood. In front of her there were two men flailing around suffering from the after effects of the flash bang.

The front man was another goon, but behind him was the lieutenant that they needed. Lifting up the scrubber she fired and blew the thug out of the window behind him with a deafening crack of thunder from the scattergun. There would be guards on her any moment now, Noah would need to take out the ones going up through the door while she secured the target. The lieutenant grabbed his pistol and started firing blindly around the room.

"Cover me!" Patricia ran forward and using some aikido technique disarmed the man and slammed his head against the wooden desk he stood next to. Hopefully Noah was keeping her covered.
