What In World War II

Earth's Mightiest Heroes: "What In World War II?!" is the fourth roleplay of the Avengers first arc set in Belgium on July 10th, 1983. Following the previous story where the assassin hunting Captain-America was his thought to be deceased best-friend Bucky Barnes, Rogers goes to an old town in Belgium that was temporarily operated by the German army in-hopes to learn of what happened to Bucky. The mission was meant to be solo-operated by Rogers, but when Falcon told the team of the mission, they ultimately joined him knowing it's value to him. We also meet Crossbones and see the debut of the Absorbing-Man! Held and written by IBI, logged by Rigby.

The Story
Logged by mainly Rigby (Doctor Strange)

The RP starts off with the Avengers, on the Quinjet awaiting their arrival on an remote Hydra outpost in the Arctic. Steve Rogers wishes to learn how Bucky survived his apparent “death” decades before. He learned of the site with the help of his friends Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne from the previous story, but initially rejected their help when he set up the mission. Falcon was the one who recruited the Avengers for the mission telling them the value of the mission to Steve after learning of it. Thinking of themselves as a family, the team agreed to join Rogers on his quest. Meanwhile Crossbones and hired mercenary Absorbing Man accompany a squadron of Hydra soldiers check in on crates that contain mysterious cargo. Before we can find out what the cargo contains, the outpost is raided by the Avengers. Falcon, War-Machine, and Thor are deployed first in typical mission fashion having the layout of the town scoped out. During their flight, War Machine is spotted and shot at. Due to the strength of the suit, it does little. But then he's caught off-guard and shot by a tank, taking him to the forest floor on the exterior of the town. Seeing this, soldiers quickly push to his position while he tries to recover. Falcon soon flies down and the two engage in a battle with the fleet. At this time, the Avengers raid the town. They wipe out most of the outposts’ soldiers, as Crossbones and Rogers duke it out. Absorbing Man puts up a fight with the rest of the Avengers, mainly Giant-Man and Natasha; but the group evens eachother out on power, dealing nearly fatal punches to eachother. After dealing with their fleet, Rhodes and Falcon meet up with Thor. With his suit's power rapidly decreasing, Rhodes tells Thor to strike him with a lightning bolt. In doing this, Rhodes suit nearly implodes with power. Instead it blasts into the sky and Rhodes begins a run around the town taking out roaming soldiers aiding the Avengers in their outpost. War-Machine suit lands in the main church where the soldiers took sanctuary and begins to investigate learning of a secret room underneath with Falcon. By accident, they hit a trip-wire. At this time, they learn that the entire town has bombs ready to explode underneath. It was an ambush! War-Machine quickly grabs onto Falcon and they fly out yelling into their comms trying to warn the team but it's too late. The town begins to crash and crumble. As Steve finishes his fight with Crossbones interrogating him, he finds himself having to dive off the building they were on to save himself. Meanwhile, Absorbing-Man is crushed by a building and Widow is wiped out by debris. Moments later the team soon meets up in the forest and plains in two different groups only to find Widow is missing, War-Machine rushes in from his group and Captain America from his. They meet-up in the fire saving Natasha from death retrieving her from the rubble and smoke. Meanwhile, Thor uses his weather manipulation to stop the fires and smoke. It was a trap all along..
