BR 1.5 Action Scene - Tombstone

Tombstone (BR47) is leading a gang of escapees from the Raft, including Razor-Fist (BR45), Jigsaw (BR41), Constrictor (BR36), and Hydro-Man (BR41). Hydro-Man was able to get the group to shore, where Tombstone offered them safety and work as enforcers. They've each accepted for their own reasons, most of which involve money and power over others.

Maria Hill calls the Avengers during a transition scene. The local FBI office got an anonymous tip that Tombstone and several other escapees were meeting in a warehouse along the docks in NYC. If necessary, she also provides the heroes with a SHIELD-class transport helicopter and an agent to fly it.

When the heroes get to the warehouse, the see a Large Black Limo out front. The warehouse itself is huge, and the walls are made of sheet metal. Nearby a gigantic Boom Crane lifts assorted Freight Containers onto nearby Cargo Ships.

Inside the warehouse, there are stacks of Wooden Crates. The building is lit by a Wide Skylight and fluorescent lights that hang from the Metal Scaffolding along the ceiling.

If they sneak about or listen in, they see Tombstone dealing heatedly with the Kingpin! Tombstone wants to split off a portion of NYC for himself, a tactic that's worked well for the two before. Tombstone and Kingpin are rivals for rulership of the new york underworld, but together they can achieve so much! Especially with the extra muscle that Tombstone brought with him from the Raft.

Kingpin refuses, after letting Tombstone explain his plan and introduce his associates. Tombstone threatens him but Kingpin still keeps his cool.

"I'll kill you right here, Fisk."

"You'll do no such thing."

"Oh, yeah? Who's gonna stop me?"

"Why, the Avengers, of course. I imagine they've had enough time to get into position. Are you ready to return to your island resort, Lincoln?"

If the heroes bust in without listening, they come in on Tombstone threatening Kingpin, with his cronies behind him.

Kingpin is alone, except for his personal assistant and driver, Carol Danvers (Ms. Marvel, BR82). Carol is working undercover to take him down, but being played since the Kingpin knows about it. Kingpin called the anonymous tip in to the FBI, knowing that it would get escalated to SHIELD and the Avengers. He played Tombstone for a fool in order to remove him from the underworld game. Long ago, the two had compatible motives, but Tombstone is still a thug. Wilson Fisk aspires to greatness, and controlling crime is merely one method. Tombstones return could ruin Kingpins legitimate businessman front.

After the heroes defeat Tombstone and his minions, the Kingpin thanks them and then gets in his limo and drives away.
