Let it Snow: Purple Start

[voidtreckermods]

"We are now approaching world#58291. Purple team to doors." As the last flurry of activity occurs the voice speaks again. "Warning: Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." the usual jerk, shudder lurch as the colours from the window turn from the void to a white haze of snow.

The doors open for purple team to alight. It is a scramble down from the train, there is no platform here and the ground below them is a sheet of ice.

They seem to be in a town, ice below them, snow drifts piled high. They can see the mountains in the distance and high above the down there is what seems to be a giant ice block floating in the sky.

But for their more immediate attention there are snow creatures. Snowmen, oddly formed snow animals. Eight foot tall creatures made of ice. Some seem intent on throwing snowballs at cars and the buildings of the town but it is not long before the team are spotted and the creatures make their way to them.

This is their battleground. They may find things they can use as weapons in the town itself and their job is to ensure there is still a town when all of this is over. It’s going to be a hard and very cold few days.

Oh, it catches him all right. Catches him right in the face. The look he gives Peter between strands of webbing is that of utter disbelief. How. How?! He's just lucky the webbing isn't restricting his breathing, and the next shot saves him from being buried in the ice, so he can't even be all that upset about it.

Mostly he's confused and mortified, as he hangs in the webbing, just a few inches above the now-settling ice-valanche. By a foot. "We really need to work on your aim, kid." He folds his arms, sighing heavily. "Tell me you can at least get me back down." Please. Preferably without giving him a head injury.

Yeah. Whoops was right. Well this isn't exactly how Peter planned for things to go? He got him right in the face, man that's embarrassing. Good thing he's wearing a mask and no one can see the look of shame on his face.

"Y-Yeah... well... sorta? I can pull you back up here?" He offers, intentionally leaving out the part about his webbing needing about two hours to dissolve. that's probably not a bit problem. Maybe.

He carefully goes about pulling the web strand up again to get Bucky to safety. They can worry about how to get the webbing off later. Like after Peter immediately swings away to avoid the awkward situation.

Bucky is more than a little relieved to be back on solid ground again... or rooftop. Wherever, what's important is that he can work on getting the webbing off now with Peter's hel-- except there Peter goes.

He sighs heavily, looks down at his boot, and gets to work.

It's only about five minutes before Bucky's running up the street beneath Peter, most of the webbing gone except the bit that was stuck in his hair, using his bat to bash at another ice golem's leg, this time trying to take it out from below.

Where he's less likely to get webbed in the face. He hopes.

Not too far off is another Ice gollum that thinks it has the element of surprise, except that Peter swings down again, smashing into the ice and watching as it shatters.

"Dude. You really gotta work on your sneak game-I mean that was just sad." He tells the shattered ice like it's normal to talk to the people and or things you're fighting.

Bucky fought alongside Steve, the chatter is more than he's used to, but certainly not unfamiliar. In fact, it helps him know where Peter is -- so he doesn't get his face webbed up again.

He makes sure he's not at risk of getting crushed by the golem -- again -- and glances up at Peter, for an indication of what direction the next big, bad, icy idiot might be. "What direction?" he yells, as his attention is diverted for a few seconds by some snow beasts. He makes quick work of them with his bat.
