TG Barighm Administrator ***** *** It's not the Children of Time HQ, but it sure as hell ain't that grimy apartment in the ghetto. After a week or two of hiding, the team find themselves aboard the luxury casino ship the "Shameless Fortune". This ship sits in the harbour and attracts guests from all over the state, and sometimes it runs a circle or two around the harbour. It never really goes anywhere and it rarely attracts the attention of the authorities. For some odd reason, the major players in most criminal organizations never visit the Fortune. The captain of the Shameless Fortune, one Jego Martinez, a former caribbean mob boss turned successful casino operator, is yet another one of Frank Kessler's friends. Again, Frank doesn't explain how he maintains such strong contacts with the underworld without being a criminal himself, but the team doesn't mind. Captain Martinez owed Frank a favour, and that favour got the team a nice place to hide aboard the ship. Fortunately, Captain Martinez, while completely legal, still owns a fair bit of equipment geared towards the illegal, and he even hides the less important, and somewhat uninteresting, criminals who are being sought by cops and gangs. None of these goons ever do anything serious, nor are they rarely aboard, so the team has nothing to worry about. In a way, the team's criminal allegations are the worst the Fortune has ever harboured. The team doesn't sleep in one of the more enjoyable cabins. They're forced to sleep on uncomfortable cots in tiny rooms next to the cargohold. It's noisy, damp, and generally miserable, but at least they're cared for by the ship's attendants. This is because all of the team, except Frank, has been forced into taking jobs on the ship. They don't get paid, but they're free to eat whatever they want and they may enjoy all of the ship's luxeries whenever they want...except the cabins, of course. At the end of another busy day on the Shameless Fortune, the team find themselves gathered around a table in the only room large enough to fit them all at once. Unfortunately, this doesn't include Rad. He disappeared after the police raid and no one has heard from him since. The team simply assumed he was forced to lie low for awhile and were awaiting some kind of clever computer hack that would identify his status, but that "message" never came. Now the team is worried, and Pam spends more days lying in her cot than she does above decks waiting for Rad. She assumes he was caught. Frank, after another day of "figuring out what to do next", whatever that means, enters the tiny room with his bag. He tosses the bag on the ground and pulls out an energy bar to munch on. Apparently he chows down on energy bars when he's too busy working on a case. His coffee intake has doubled as well. For the 100th time, Borus, wearing a sweaty apron, glances into the bag in search of anything that could change the team's fortune as well. As usual, the bag containing every trick of the trade a private eye needs still contains the most trivial of items. Mostly notebooks. Borus sighs. "Have you found a way to get us out of this yet?" Frank shrugs. "Nope. By the looks of things, everything will sort itself out. This may sound odd, but I think the police have given up searching for you. The CIA have been assigned to deal with you, and from what I've learned, that means nothing will happen. They have completely lost interest in you." Borus raises an eyebrow. "What the hell? Since when did this country give up on chasing known terrorists? On their own soil?" Frank tosses the empty energy bar packaging over his should. Somehow, some way, he manages to get it to land in the trash can behind him. Again. "Hey, you should know the bucket of shit we're in by now. None of this makes sense, yet it still seems the point of this is NOT TO make sense...if that makes any sense." Borus groans. "God, I hate this conspiracy theory crap. I liked it better when it was quite clear the CIA betrayed us. At that time I knew what was going on and what I was up against. Now I have no idea where any of this is going." "What's worse, I still have absolutely no idea what this Lance character is up to," Frank says as he pulls out another energy bar. He begins dipping it in a cup of coffee he abandoned much earlier in the day. Borus cringes at the motion. "Looks like this is about to get more interesting," says Andrew, the surgeon from the HQ. Average sized and average looking, Andrew Cottington, a trauma surgeon, has an incredible gift of healing...sort of. His true gift is something akin to regeneration and immortality. He has fought in WW2 and yet still doesn't look a day over 30. Unfortunately, he's a somewhat cocky doctor with a heavy ego streak, but he can heal the most critical of wounds better than any doctor alive, and Tsang found that to be a most useful ability. As the team learned later, Andrew's healing ability depends on him having all of the usual medical tools. For some reason it doesn't work unless he takes the time to perform the usual medical procedures. Andrew joined Frank because Tsang ordered him to. Frank didn't actually tell anyone where he was going when he left HQ, buy somehow Tsang now. Nice of Tsang to send Andrew along. Too bad he isn't the greatest company. Andrew pokes at a powdered doughnut someone grabbed earlier from the kitchens. "You guys have no idea what you're doing, do you?" Borus growls. "How the hell do you expect us to know what to do? I didn't know what I was doing when I was chased by the police. I sure as hell have no idea what to do when I'm chased by people who DON'T want to chase me. How the hell do I know they're not watching us? We know Lance is. How many other people are? How do we know A.S.H doesn't have someone watching us? God, this is getting too complicated." Frank shakes his head. "Hey, I can only report the facts and hide you, I can't ask the CIA what's up. They're probably after me now too since I left the HQ. As far as we know, the CIA still wants The Children to fight street crime, and as far as we know, that's what has been happening. We also know this Rad guy, which you guys seem to be concerned about, is still missing. Honestly I say we forget him and worry about ourselves, but I guess you guys believe otherwise." "You just don't abandon someone who risks so much to give you a hand," Borus quietly replies. Andrew laughs. "Damned moral codes. They make life so difficult." Borus only shakes his head. "All right, we know it's safe to travel around the city now. The police aren't specifically looking for us, the FBI isn't involved anymore, and the CIA doesn't care; regardless of those things, it's still fairly safe to assume we're being watched and closely monitored by...someone. I dunno. Anybody. This Rad guy is still missing, this Lance character is still planning something, and now we have a new enemy to worry about: one ASH, led by former annoyance Damian Ashbury. Options?" Borus sighs again. "Ah, hell, I don't know anymore. I don't want to sit and watch what happens next, and yet I feel if we do anything, some shit will go down. We're practically stuck in a vice." * * * * * Max begins his book, but between the team running around the city looking for places to hide and good ol' fashioned writer's block, he finds it difficult to work up a good groove. He barely gets half way into his first chapter. Enrique scans the TV and newspapers for any news regarding superhumans. He finds a fair bit about superhumans being arrested for causing travel, people harassing other superhumans, and even normal people pretending to start superhero teams (just like the comic books), but he doesn't find anything he interprets as suspicious, let alone indicative of any future action the team needs to watch out for.

Jen sits quietly at the dinner table sipping at her afternoon tea while Ron spends another weekend day at the office. Jen quietly wishes for the thousandth time for Ron to realize he's married to her, not his job. Laughter is heard in the hallway. Little Pam is engaged in another round of child's play. The TV continues to blare cartoons in the living room, but Pam was never one to sit and watch cartoons for long. Jen can only smile. Ron may be at work, but everything is okay. The family finances are safe, there aren't any pressing concerns to worry about, and the extended family generally keeps to themselves. Jen is free to think about her home and nothing else, and Pam is such a good girl even that's not much of an issue. "Mommy...." Jen is startled by her daughter's sudden appearance in the kitchen, but she quickly calms down. Pam is short for a 6 year old, so she has an odd habit of scaring her parents. She can be very quiet. "What is it sweety?" "I got a booboo..." Pam begins to rub the side of her leg. Jen sighs, but a mother's job is never finished. She rises from her seat and checks Pam's leg, but she doesn't see anything of note. "What is it honey? Is it...here?" Jen pokes Pam's leg. Pam shakes her head. "How about...here?" Now Jen pokes her daughter's stomach. Pam giggles. "Here? Here? How about here?" More pokes to the side and chest, and soon the young girl is rolling on the ground laughing. When the fit is complete, Pam rises to her feet and smiles. "Doesn't hurt anymore does it? Now go play while I finish my tea," Jen gives her daughter a light push before returning to her tea. Pam giggles again and runs off. It isn't long before Pam is calling for her mother again. Jen sighs, but she goes into the hall to check on her daughter. She is surprised to find Pam crying. "Mommy...it hurts..." Jen, now greatly alarmed, quickly checks her daughter's leg again, but she still doesn't see anything of note. "What is it honey? I don't see anything. What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" "It hurts...it hurts everywhere..." Jen, reminding herself not to panic, carefully looks her daughter in the eye. "I don't understand. Can you breath? Are you sick? Did you fall? Come on honey, tell me where it hurts." The child only bawls even louder. Jen checks Pam's forehead for any sign of illness and is startled to discover she's burning up. "Oh lord! Come on honey, let's get you to the doctor." Pam doesn't seem to be able to rise to her feet, so Jen is forced to carry her. She races Pam to the van, and soon the pair are off. Pam continues to cry in the car and Jen continues to question her daughter, but she can't figure out what's wrong, and Pam isn't helping. "It hurts...mommy, it hurts...everywhere..." Despite her best efforts, Jen can't avoid panicking. "It's all right sweety, we're almost there. The doctor is just a few blocks away. Don't worry, you'll be fine." Pam begins rocking in her seat. The pain must be overwhelming, whatever it is. "Pam, let me teach you something mommy learned once a long time ago. I want you to do everything I say, all right? It will help." Pam nods. At least the mysterious pain isn't stopping her from listening clearly. "Okay Pam, this is what I want you to do. I want you to think of something else. Think of rolling hills, swaying grasses, the sound of the wind blowing...think of nice things. Happy things. Think of cherries and pies and ice cream." Pam sniffs. "Uh huh..." "Is it working?" Pam nods. "That's great! Okay, now think of the pain...think about where it's coming from. You got it? Okay, now imagine a bottle. A great big bottle. Imagine your pain as a black goo. Put the goo in the bottle honey. Imagine the goo flowing into the bottle." Pam is now smiling. "I am! I can see the goo going into a bottle! The pain is going away!" "That's great Pam! Now, cap the bottle. Screw the lid on REAL tight! And throw the bottle away. Right out the window! ... ... ...honey? You cap the bottle?" Pam shakes her head. "No, there is so much black goo. I don't know where it's coming from. It keeps coming and coming..." Jen, perplexed, now gives her daughter a very level stare, the road be damned. "What are you talking about? Do you still hurt?" "No, but there is still so much black goo...I can't cap the bottle. It just keeps coming. Now it's going somewhere else..." Jen blinks. This never happened in her training. It's just a simple mental exercise, but she assumes a young child's imaginative mind would do something like... An explosive pain suddenly fills Jen's hand. She screams and pulls her hands away from the wheel as if she was burned, but the pain doesn't subside. Her hands, now seemingly on fire, yet not, continue to be wracked with pain as the van begins to loose control. Jen tries to take control of the van in some way, but she suddenly feels a massive blow to her stomach. She doubles over and strikes her head hard on the steering wheel as Pam begins to cry again. The van veers into incoming traffic, and soon everything is dark. * * * * * Pam lazily turns over in her cot. "Oh mommy, it hurts..." Borus turns around in his chair.

A young aisan woman, her jet black hair cropped short, and a guitar across her lap tries to ignore the complaints and simply relax as her mentor once taught her. She glances to the side, and catches her reflection in the glass of the window. She raises her hand, almost idly and strokes the barely noticiable puffiness around her left eye. "Another day and no one will be able to notice." "What was that?" the elderly lady across the aisle asks. "Oh, nothing," Koto responds. "I was just thinking to myself." The woman takes one last long look at Koto, sniffs disapprovingly at Koto's short skirt, and returns to her Sudoku book. Koto looks down at her clothes. A black sports bra covered by a short, open front white vest, and black leather short skirt. A pair of crosstrainers cover her sockless feet. A small giggle escapes Koto's throat, earning another disapproving stare from her closest traveling companion. "I look like some video game tramp," she thinks. "I should change before the bus arrives." Still, she makes no move from her seat, and soon drifts off to sleep. ********************** Her return to Japan hadn't went exactly as she had planned, but it wasn't a failure either. Koto arrived at her parents old house to learn they didn't live there anymore. She despaired, but then was able to get some help from some of Martinez's Japanese contact, in return for certain "favors". A week later she found herself standing before the doorway of an apartment in downtown Tokyo.... *********************** Lunch is over, I'll have to post more later.

There we go. Yes, you sexy devil, she'll be all over you. Not long before the events at the superhuman prison, Andrew Cottington found himself preparing for yet another fling with yet another drop-dead gorgeous woman. The blonde-haired, scandalously dressed vixen is currently blessing Andrew's bleach-white furniture with the curvature of her voluptuous behind. Such are the thoughts of the shallowest trauma surgeon in the city. With a final check in the mirror, Andrew spins around and begins to approach the young woman. Andrew is stopped in his tracks when the young woman suddenly rises from his couch in a very provocative way. Andrew smiles to himself. Is she can make getting off a couch look sexy, then this will definitely be a night to remember. The young woman-Andrew forgets her name at the moment, but who cares?-drapes her arms around Andrew's neck. "Well, doctor, you finally got me in your apartment. So what do you want me to do?" Andrew keeps his cool and looks her directly in the eye. He'd rather look at other things. "You're a good patient ma'am. Maybe you'd like a check-up?" The woman laughs. "Oh, come on! No cheesy doctor-patient game for me! But a game might be a good idea. Do you like games, Andrew?" Andrew chastises himself in his head. Crap. He should know better than to use that dumb check-up line. "I love games...when I can win them." The woman laughs again. "I'm sorry, Andrew, you can't win this game. But I can win. And I'll oh so enjoy winning." The young woman leans in closer. The upper curves of her breasts are fully exposed below Andrew's chin. It's everything he can do keep himself from looking down. "I don't mind losing, so long as I can have some fun too." She shrugs. "I don't know if you like this sort of thing, but we'll give it a try anyway. Now, there's a specific toy we need to play this game. It's safely tucked away in my bra. Would you like to fish it out?" Without breaking eye-contact, Andrew drops his hand into the dress of the young woman. He fishes and pokes around for this toy for as long as he can, but he eventually must admit that he found this so-called "toy" and regretfully removes his hand from the soft, silky interior. The "toy" turns out to be a scalpel. Andrew blinks, but he doesn't break eye-contact. "I thought you didn't like doctor-patient games?" The woman giggles. "Oh, this is a special kind of doctor-patient game. Now, let me see that knife." Andrew calmly passes the knife to the young vixen. He maintains his smile the whole time. He continues to maintain it even when a small, sharp prick is suddenly felt in his left side. The prick quickly turns into an icy throb of pain. The young woman raises the scalpel again. It's now adorned with a small drop of blood. "Oh, doctor, it would appear your kidney has been pierced. I suggest you sit down. I don't want you to die too soon." The young woman pulls away. Hips gently swinging, she calmly walks over to her bulging purse. As Andrew slowly slumps to the ground, the young woman produces a folded clump of papers. They appear to be medical records of some kind. "It's time for the second round of our game doctor Cottington. Do you know who this woman is?" The picture shoved in Andrew's face is of an older woman with remarkably similar features to the fox standing above him. Andrew bravely produces a mocking smile. "Your sister? I must admit, you had me fooled. I figured you had to be at least...oh, 35. Maybe 40. Looks like I have to adjust that figure." The young woman's playful look quickly disintegrates. She clearly didn't expect any resistence at this point. "That's my mother! Or was my mother. That's how she looked when she was alive. WAS alive. She's dead now. Do you know why?" "She let you play with sharp objects when you were a kid?" Andrew is surprised he hasn't been stabbed again yet. He wonders why she's holding back. She begins grinding her teeth. "NO. She died because you wouldn't help her. Because it "wasn't worth your time". I'm sorry, did my family not have enough money for you? Oh, right, just some lowly career waitress. Nothing worth saving there." Andrew frowns. If there is one thing that annoys the hell out of him, it's people criticizing his work. "We couldn't do anything else for your mother. We couldn't use more of the hospital's resources for a lost cause." And there it is. Took her long enough. In nearly a split second the young woman responds by sprinting over and stabbing him again, this time in the shoulder. "Shut up! My mother isn't a lost cause! She was never a lost cause! YOU'RE a lost cause!" Andrew grins again. "Did you follow in your mother's footsteps? Did it take you a month to save for that dress? Maybe you would have been better off saving that money for your mother's medical bills." Anger begins to fill the young woman's eyes, but that only drives Andrew on. "Heh. You think I didn't know who you are? Of course I remembered you. I remembered how sexy you were. When I figured out you'd been stalking me these last few months, I decided to give you the edge in seeking me out. Figured I could get one last fling out of you. About time for me to move on anyway." Anger becomes rage, and soon the sounded of repeated stabbings is drowned out by her wordless howl of rage. Again and again, one stab after another...but Andrew never yelps or cries for help. He simply watches, that same mocking smile etched into his face. The smile only drives her on. Andrew eventually begins to drift away. Something happens...he's not sure what. His door flings open and men with night sticks appear...building security? How slow they're moving...about time they heard the screaming. The bitch is dragged off somewhere...why are they laying a finger on his neck? Ah, darkness...time for a nap... * * * An old oriental man finds himself waiting at the bus stop. The bus, as usual, is late. He parks himself on a nearby bench and watches the traffic pass him by. The scene is suddenly broken by the high pitched sound of sirens wailing. An ambulance appears, but it is swerving uncontrollably. It eventually smacks into another car and goes still. The ambulance crew jump out of the car and run away screaming something about zombies. A few moments later, a stately man in his 30's steps out of the back of the ambulance. He seems to be covered in wounds, but he shows no evidence of being fazed in any way. He walks over to the oriental man. "Good evening, mind if I wait for the bus with you?" * * * * * Andrew pulls out a cigarette. "Best thing about being immortal is, you can smoke and drink all you want and you will have nothing to worry about." Borus frowns. "Don't get cocky. Just because nobody found a way to kill you in World War 2 doesn't mean you're a god." "Well you big ox, let me know when you have another explanation for it," Andrew laughs.

"I won't go to the casino, but I think I'll just go back to work in the kitchen. Nothing else to do around here."

Almost overcome by nerves, she nearly bolted when the door opened, revealing a middle aged japanese woman. "Uh, hi. I'm not sure if you remember me, mother" Koto blurts out. "Of course I remember you, Koto," the woman says coldly. "May I come in?" Koto asks, nervously looking about the hall. After several moments, Koto's mother finally stands aside to let her daughter into the apartment. Koto quickly removes her shoes and sets them near several other pairs of shoes near the entrance. "At least you haven't forgotten that custom," her mother says sternly. "Mother, I'm sorry I ran away, I was scared, I didn't know what to do." "You could have came to your father and I, you know. We knew all about your powers, after all. We could have helped you. Instead you ran off to the United States, where you killed even more innocent people." "You... You know about that?" Koto asked, fighting back the tears. "Of course we know! All of Japan knows about you! You have disgraced our family!" "Mother!" Koto bursts into tears and collaspes against her mother.

"I think I've figured out a way to get out of this predicament." Borus sighs. "A ticket to Greenland?" Frank blinks. "Um...no. No, I don't think any of us want to hide out there. Okay, we've got a lot of problems on our plate at the moment, but the biggest one is our wanted status. Thankfully a few of us aren't on their list, but the lot of you are. Unfortunately, there's no we we're going to appeal to the authorities, and we certainly can't join Lance's crew. So, we have to look for some other channel. We've got to start appealing to the general populace. In other words, we've got to make ourselves look good." "How will we do that? Most of the city hates superhumans at the moment. I think those of us with the least obvious powers should just move to another country and hide," Borus hangs his head. "I don't want to run away, but if we can't even help ourselves..." "Don't worry Borus. If there's one thing everyone loves, it's a hero. So, it's time to make like a sports team on a long losing streak and go right back to basics: we've got to become crime fighters again. But we can't just get any old mugger and rapist. We've got to capture the big fish, and I know exactly how to do that." Frank slaps some black and white pictures on the table. The photos show a very familiar face going about his daily business. "Is that Mr. Manelli? The mob boss? I thought he was killed in a hit. You said so yourself," Borus says as he pours over the photos. "I know. I thought he was dead too, but during my search for you guys I started coming across bits about him. I guess he faked his own death so that he can start something much bigger in another city. In this case, this city." Borus looks back at Frank. "He's here? In Portland?" Frank nods. "Yeah. And he's up to something." "So...you want us to go after him?" Frank shrugs. "It's just an idea. If we did, we wouldn't have to worry about the police this time. We could go in, do what we have to, then leave. Hopefully we'll find something on Manelli too." "Wouldn't we just be pinned as vigilantes?" Frank smiles. "That's the best part. You see, we were officially tasked by the CIA to capture criminals, so if anyone says anything, we could always say we're just doing our job. They would look just as bad as us." Borus scratches his head. "Um...I don't know...what's to stop them from coming after us? How do we know the CIA isn't waiting for us to make a move like this?" "To what purpose? Are they going to arrest us for trying to capture a well known criminal? What will that achieve? That will just martyr us. Will they capture us before we can even try to regain some respect? They have already shown us they won't. I think it's safe to say they're going to leave us alone as long as we leave them alone, or at least stay smart. The cops are still looking for us. We have to keep avoiding them for now. So, what do you think?" Borus collapses into a chair. "I don't think this will help us much, but catching criminals will help me feel better. We may be screwed, but I don't see why we should forget our purpose just because we've hit rough times. I'll go along with some good, old fashioned crime fighting for a bit.

After the lecture Janus takes a stroll around campus and ends up back on the street. He cant help but listen to the stray transmission that walks into earshot of him. News broadcast. ATM Pin numbers. Porn downloads. Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe he should have left that flyer on the ground where he found it. Ever since he joined this group he has had nothing but heartache. Everyone he knew wont acknowledge his existance. His entire family is missing. The professors gone. Maybe he should just give up. They have no regard for human life anyway. Why would he want to be with a group of murderers anyway? Janus looks up to see that he has returned to the Shameless Fortune. With a sigh he walks onto the boat and looks for Borus.

The bus is slowing. "Now what?" one of the passengers mutters. "Just a flat tire," the driver responds, "Nothing to worry about." "How far are we from the bus stop?" another passenger asks. "About a half mile," the driver replies. "I think." "I'll just walk," Koto says, as she climbs from her seat, grabs her bag and guitar and heads for the door. "Miss, you should just stay on the bus," the driver says, blocking the exit. "The repair truck will be here soon, and besides, this isn't exactly the best neighborhood." "I'll be fine," Koto says. "I've been in worse places than this." "But...," the driver stares at Koto's body. Koto rolls her eyes and shoves her way past. "I definitely should have worn different clothes," Koto mutters to herself and begins trudging towards the harbor in the distance. An hour later Koto reaches the harbor and begins searching for the Shameless Fortune. ************************************ (Lunch is about over, more later.) keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard ***** keno Avatar Fear!

Enrique is taking a night-time walk to clear his head. The cramped conditions on the boat have really been getting to him. The wind picks up slightly. Enrique adjusts his coat. Something catches his eye on the floor. A 20 dollar bill. Enrique smiles to himself. Life needs its little pleasures. --- The warmth of the bar, and the sudden rush of sound, hit Enrique as he steps in from the cool Portland evening. The clack of pool balls sinking, the buzz and hum of the pinball machine in the corner. The constant chink! of beer glasses being knocked together, and the slop of beer on mouth. This is it, this is a good time - 200 people slowly sinking into the depths of inebriation. A good mix of people as well. Bikers in one corner, chicks with tattoos in another, the guy and his girl who meant to go somewhere more classy but they just didn't have a free table, and not too many stupid frat boys. Enrique allows himself another smile. There hasn't been too much to smile about of late, and tonight seems just the night for sinking a few beers in total anonymity. Enrique grabs himself a seat at the bar, and orders two beers. The barmaid's kinda hot. Too tough though. There's a baseball game on the tv behind the bar. Enrique watches it for a while, barely interested. Suddenly, a hand claps him on the shoulder. Enrique turns around, startled. "Hey, stranger", the man says in a husky mexican accent. "Want to go shoot some pool? We'll put a beer on it." The man is pretty large, and has coupla guys and a girl behind him, so Enrique decides to take him up on it. "Sure, homie, you're on!" Waddling, slightly drunkenly, over to the table, Enrique sizes up his opponent. About 6'2". Head shaved close. Slight handlebar moustache. Wearing a do-rag. Black tank top. Grey jeans. Muscles. A tattoo of a flaming dagger on his right bicep. Enrique seen a million guys like him before. Guys who make their way in the world doing shitty jobs and turning to crime. Guys like Enrique was, before the explosion. "Hey, Pedro!" The latina chick with dyed red hair standing behind the guy yells. "Yeah, babe?" "Knock 'im down" she says with a smirk. "Pedro", as he seems to be called, takes the break. BAM! What a break! Enrique's eyes can't quite believe it. One moent the cue ball was sitting on the line, the next, all the balls were flying about like crazy! What's more, he potted two stripes and two spots. Open table. Pedro smiles, revelaing a chipped tooth. "Your move, hotshot". Enrique lines up... and sinks a stripe. Good work. Next move: Sinks another. Again: a miss. Damn. Pedro smiles. He doesn't even bother lining up his cue. Without even looking, he smacks the white as hard as he can again. The number 6 flies up and hits the lamp, before bouncing into the side pocket. "Well, look at that! Another go!" Again and again, pedro hits the cue ball so hard, until all the spots are potted. Going for the 8 ball, Pedro lines himself up. He takes his time... tenses.. and BANG! a cloud of dust rises from the table. Shouts arise from the onlookers caught by the power of the man's game. When it settles, Enrique sees that he hit the ball so hard into the black it exploded under the consant force. The commotion has ceased. Pedro smiles again. "Well, shit, guess it's a draw, huh? Wanna come sit with us?" Pedro gestures to the corner booth where the redhead is sitting with a skinny guy. The audience turn away, suddenly uninterested. Enrique is still slightly in shock. "Well, uh, I guess..." he sputters, and walks over to sit with them. Pedro squeezes in next to the redhead and the skinny guy. "So hi, I'm Pedro. This is Alejandra, and Raul. You should be able to tell which is which. Eheh." The man, evidently named Raul, shoots him a look. He's wearing a black shirt open to the the chest and tight leather trousers. "Well, uh. Hi. I'm Enrique. But what the hell was that back there?" Alejandra gives him a wink. She's wearing ablack strap top. Huh. They must be a gang or something. "I think you know what that was. Basically, Enrique, we know who you are. We know what you do, and we know all about the people you do it with, too." Enrique feigns ignorance. "Me? You, uh, trying to say I'm a... criminal of some sort?" Raul rolls his eyes. "Read the news. El Diablo? Some say he's a fuckin' international terrorist! Some say he's God's punsihment for our sins, some say he's just a kid with a book of matches. But to us, you're a symbol of the struggle we people have against White America. You're a source of inspiration to Hispanics everywhere! Especially to those such as... us..." Pedro laughs. "Yeah, we're just like you, hombre. In fact... come outside and we'll show you." Enrique, still dumfounded, agrees to this and walks outside to the street. It's started raining. Pedro walks over to a car and, without breaking a sweat, throws it into the air. Alejandra runs forward, eyes glowing red, and laser beams explode out of her eyes right into the car, igniting it in a ball of flame, before it falls to the ground. "Holy shit! That was awesome!" Enrique yells. "Now run, before anyone sees us" Raul says, calmly. Already, lights are switching on in upstairs windows. The group quickly run down an alleyway, away from the scene. Enrique, already losing the shock from the explosion, stops. "So, Raul, what do you do?" Raul grins an steps back. He breathes in slowly, arms towards the sky.. and then exhales suddenly, as metal spikes erupt out his wrists. They clatter to the ground soon after. "I can only do it so many times a day, but its helped us get away from the cops a few times now." "Cops?" Enrique enquires. "Yeah, you may have guessed - we're a vigilante 'super' group. You know that bank robbery a coupla days ago?" Enrique doesn't, but he doesn't let on. "Yeah, that was us. We gave the money to a women's refuge in Guadalajara" Raul carries on, evidently excited to be telling Enrique this stuff. "And it was all because of you, man! And you know when the mayor's car got jacked? Us too!" "Is there a point to me being here? Only I have to get back soon..." Enrique is already tired of this guy. Do something real for a change. Not this kids' stuff, bringing supers more of a bad name. "Uh, yeah guy, look. Um. Basically, we wanted you to-" "HE wanted you to." Alejandra butts in. "Er, yeah. We wanted you to.. kinda... join us? We know what you do and it's way bigger than this. Together, we could bring this whole city down, and promote freedom for all people! All the minorities!" Enrique ponders this for a minute, not sure what to say. "Look, um. I've gotta get back. How about I meet you guys sometime soon? I'll need to take... some time over this." Raul evidently looks slightly deflated. Pedro spits on the floor. "Okay dude. Um. Here's a card." He gets out a photocopied piece of card with LOS DESPERADOS and a phone number scrawled on it. Enrique takes it, and leaves. "I suppose I'll see you kids later" he says, giving them a flaming thumbs up before turning into the night. He can already hear the sirens. Those kids could get some serious shit started if they just got their act together. Maybe he'd call them... maybe. For now, he'll just go back to the boat and get some rest. Maybe tell the others in the morning. It's been a weird night... New and improved! Also click RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW to be totally enlightened.

He currently mans a small booth next to the ramp leading up to the Shameless Fortune. It's pretty small and uncomfortable looking. Someone like Borus or Max could easily knock it over. "Do you have a reservation? Or a casino pass? You can't board the fortune unless you have one or the other. Both can be purchased with your credit card over the phone; otherwise, good day, miss." "Hey! Twerp! Let her up!" someone shouts from the top of the ramp. It's Frank. The "twerp" gives Frank a frown before turning back to Koto. "All right, you can go in...at HIS behest." Frank marches down the ramp to meet Koto, but before they go the "twerp" gives Frank a parting shot. "More freeloaders, is it? The captain will hear of this." "I hope he does booth boy," Frank chuckles. Once they have set foot upon the deck of the Fortune, Frank turns to Koto and smiles. "Didn't we just send you away? Ah well, welcome back. We could use all the help we can get at this point." Frank looks her over. "What? Did you whore yourself to pay for a ticket back? Now that I think about it, how did you get out of the airport without being arrested? We're not exactly popular at the moment."

Lance normally likes to greet like-minded guests with the most courtesy possible, but Lance knows anyone who can infiltrate his lair so quietly and unnanounced is a person to be weary of. The stranger will not get the kindest glances today. Sitting in his chair in a white suit sipping tea, the middle-aged, blonde haired gentleman certainly doesn't appear to be a threat, but Lance knows better than that. He has dealt with mangy mercenaries, enraged soldiers, and conniving officers many times, but this strange man strikes Lance as royalty, or some other kind of leader. Whatever he is, he's not a man to be trifled with, and he's certainly someone who has been trifled with before. Such poor souls were most likely disposed of quickly and quietly. Finished with his tea, the stranger places the cup back on its saucer. "This tea is deplorable, but I appreciate your politeness." Lance struggles to hold back a frown. He's going to have to discard these hidden messages containing insults or else this meeting won't end peacefully. "Richard, is it? To what do I owe this...intrusion? You certainly didn't come here to drink my tea," being polite is all well and good, but sometimes you just have to acknowledge things for what they are, and this is an intrusion. It's not like this "Richard" knocked at the front door. Richard smiles. "Such impatience! A good introduction should never be rushed." Richard looks around the room for a minute. "My, what a mundane hide-out. I expected a villain such as yourself would be housed in more intimidating quarters." "It serves it's purpose. I assure you, when the time comes, it will become a prison of fear," Lance almost hisses back. He has to maintain his composure. Richard nods. "I'm sure it will make a very useful tool when things begin to go wrong." Lance nods, but in his mind he's howling in fury. How did this guy know about that? "Well now, I think it's safe to say we've gotten our introductions out of the way, so let's move on to business, shall we?" For no reason Lance can think of, Richard suddenly pulls a dead rose out of his pocket and places it on the coffee table separating the two. Lance stares at it like it's some kind of doomsday weapon, but he eventually discards it as nothing more than a shriveled up rose. It's probably some kind of perverted calling card. Richard doesn't seem to have any trouble taking his mind off the rose. "I've been around, good sir. Many years. If there's one thing I've learned, it's how to recognize, and take advantage of, a good thing. You, Mr. Collarti, are taking advantage of all this chaos you've created for this 'good thing'. Don't be surprised. I worked out your grand scheme many nights ago. It's not overly complex." Lance frowns. Overly complex? He spent months working on it! "I hope you didn't come here to gloat? So you've figured out my plan. What is it to you?" "Oh, good sir, it's nothing like that! I merely wish to offer my services! You see, during my wanderings, I've learned to avoid notice, stand out, or become the subject of attention, but during the Inquisition, my best efforts weren't enough to stifle the suspicions of my loving mate. Alas, fear and paranoia ruled that era, and I was soon turned over to the authorities. I allowed those cretins to incinerate me at the stake, but I lived and fled. I knew I would never be safe, so I did the only thing I could think of to avoid notice. I joined them." Richard interrupts this story with a sip of tea. "Of course, I'm sure you're not interested in my life's story-my what a tale that would be!-so I'll get to the point: if you want to succeed at this useless endeavor of yours, you're going to need my help." Lance laughs. "Useless? We're already well on our way to success! What makes you think you're capable of contributing something we don't have? We have money, we have powerful allies, AND we have many public organizations on our side! What can you possibly do?" Richard winks. "A great deal. Knowledge of the centuries will be at your command. The fundamental workings of society will be at your feet. And if you don't believe me, I'm sure we can work something out. After all, another ally is another ally, correct?" Lance nods. He's right about that, but he's also so arrogant and so sure of himself. Heh...there's a use for those kind of people. "I'm sure we can," Lance agrees. Lance happens to glance at the rose on the table. He is surprised to find it healthy and full of life. A red rose sits on his coffee table where a shriveled, dead rose once lay.

Because I have no clue where Lance is, and he has every idea of where you guys are. If you suddenly decide to look for him, he'll know about it. We have to find some way for us to get to him indirectly. Now, I remember Roger saying before that it's very hard for telepathics to read the minds of people they haven't met. Julia never met me or the good doctor here, nor has she met Pam. I'm free to look for Lance without tipping him off, but you guys might have to try something else." Pam suddenly shouts. "No! It's terrible!" The team would rush to her aid, but the area is so small they can clearly see her from the table. She's currently sitting up in her bed and drenched in sweat. "What is it, Pam? Is this the fortune telling thing you mentioned before?" Borus asks. Pam stares at the team for a moment before responding. She eventually nods. "I saw...fire. Panic. Chaos. Many people fighting their own kin. And in the middle of it...", Pam sobs before continuing, "...oh it was terrible. Something horrible is going to happen, and I won't be able to stop it this time."

"Considering our problems with Manelli, I highly doubt a spy would admit he was in the mafia. And we all know Lance has no problem monitoring us without the need for spies. He could be CIA."
Frank suddenly walks up. The team didn't notice him standing in the back. "He better not be for his sake. I can check my sources to find out exactly who he is. If he is a spy of any kind...well, the police fish bodies out of the harbour all the time."
Borus gasps. "Wow Frank, I never knew you had such a mean streak in you."
Frank lowers his head and frowns. "I hate spies. A person acting like they're you're friend only to betray you later...I just hate spies. Besides, our situation is too unstable to allow people like this to...stick around. If he's a problem, mind you."
"Uh...let's try to avoid that, shall we? Okay, pending an investigation from Frank, you're in, but we don't trust you yet. Got it?" Borus shoves a pointed finger in Lucas' face.

Jun 21, 2006 at 5:10pm Quote Edit like Post Options Post by TG Barighm on Jun 21, 2006 at 5:10pm Frank raises his hands almost in defense. "Woah, there, cowboy! You guys forget both Manelli, and apparently this Lucas fellow, for all accounts and intentions, are dead. They don't have connections anymore, and nobody cares about them. Certainly not in the underworld anyway. At least I've found absolutely no evidence to suggest a family currently gives a damn about Manelli anymore. So, as far as fear of reprisals is concerned, taking Manelli out would be the end of it. That's it. He's the head honcho and he has no support. He goes down, his whole operation goes down. You don't have to worry about anyone taking revenge on you. As far as spying is concerned, Janus is right. Manelli WILL do his homework, and he will discover Lucas' identity. I don't see how that will connect him to us though. Everybody thinks he's dead, so if he suddenly pops up asking for a job, yes, he will look suspicious, but I highly doubt Manelli will immediately link him to us. He'll more likely assume Lucas is connected to the FBI in some way. What I don't understand is why you guys want to beat around the bush. We know Manelli is dealing in illegal activities, and we know there's very little he can do against us now. All we have to do is capture him and figure out some way to turn him in while looking like the good guys."
Borus places his hands on his hips. "Oh yeah? How do we do that?"
Frank sighs. "Well, and I know you hate hearing this, we must first avoid being tagged as vigilantes. In other words, we have to avoid killing anybody ESPECIALLY Manelli."
Borus sighs. "You're right. I don't like hearing this. I don't have a problem with it, but I know our record in that sense is terrible."
"The second thing we need is evidence. And for that, all we need are these," Frank stops to pull a disposable camera out of his pocket. "We find something that looks illegal and take a picture of it. That will prove Manelli is involved in illegal activities. Then we capture Manelli and hold him until the pictures are developed. Finally, we send him and the pictures to the police. Now, here's what I know about him: he's operating out of a warehouse on the docks. It's actually a small outfit, but you don't need to be huge to do what he's doing. He's bringing in illegal artifacts from around the world and selling them for a huge profit. Not sure where he got the connections to pull that off, but all you need to do it is the connections, the money to bribe customs officials, men to load the artifacts, and someone to drive a truck. Of course, I'll bet he's actually hiding drugs in the artifacts. That's more his style. Hell, maybe even guns. A lot of this stuff just sits in the warehouse until he can secure a buyer so we don't have to wait for a shipment to nail him. I say we just visit the warehouse and kick ass. He can't have more than 20 men for the whole operation. We can handle it."

Jun 26, 2006 at 4:42pm Quote like Post Options Post by keno on Jun 26, 2006 at 4:42pm The sound of sobbing breaks into Koto's silent fuming.
She raises her head, and notices a young woman sitting on the floor just a few feet away. Lost in her own problems, the young woman seems oblivious to Koto's presence, just as Koto had been oblivious to hers just moments before.
Despite the temptation just to ignore the girl, something about her draws Koto's attention. It takes a moment, but then she notices the small wisps of smoke arising from the girl's clothing and the floor around her. Alarm, Koto steps closer, finally getting the girl's attention.
"Stay back," the girl screams, throwing up her arms. As she does, several tears fly through the air, a few of which strike Koto. Instantly the tears burn Koto's skin, causing her to instinctively activate her healing ability.
"How... how did you do that?" the girl asks, as she watches the acid burns heal before her very eyes.
"It's just one of the talents I have," Koto says with a smile. "My name is Koto, although you've probably heard of me as Sonic."
"You! You're one of those vigilantes the media has been talking about."
"Yeah, but there's much more to it than that. So, why's a pretty girl like you out here crying?"
"Oh, I, I lost my job. Again."
"Really? Well, my friends and I could use someone with your talents."
"Acidic tears? Doubtful. But I do have another ability too. I'll give you a demonstration, if you don't mind."
"Sure."
Suddenly Koto's arms are pinned to her sides by strong bands of force. Just as quickly, they are gone.
"Interesting. Can you hold those for very long?"
"Sure, well, I think I can. Oh, by the way, my name is Rachel. What was your name again? Sonic?"
"My friends call me Koto. Come, let me introduce you to them. And get you some new clothes."
*************************** Fifteen minutes later Koto returns to the group, her new friend in tow.
"Everyone, this is Rachel. Rachel, this is everyone. Rachel has an unique ability I think will come in very helpful."
"Hi." Rachel smiles, and wipes her eyes, splattering a few drops of her acidic tears on the furniture. A few wisps of smoke float up into the air. "Oh, sorry about that." Last Edit: Jun 27, 2006 at 12:25pm by keno TG Barighm Administrator *****

Borus shrugs. "I haven't seen him today. I guess he's very busy working on his book, or maybe Martinez has him working on the docks again."
Frank sighs. "Well, we can't wait for him. Now is our chance to get Manelli. A shipment of goods is coming in tonight and most of his crew will be busy unloading it to notice us. We'll sneak into his warehouse while they're busy, wait for them to unveil the goods, then we'll strike. It's pretty simple. Just beat up his goons and grab Manelli. Oh, and take pictures of course. I'll leave a note in case Max decides to show up."
Franks tosses disposable cameras to Borus and Janus. "That's all we'll need. I'll trust you two can handle the photography."
"Max is better at taking pictures than we are," Borus says as he reads the instructions on the packaging.
"When he gets here, I'll give him one. Now, let's go."
* * * * *
As usual, the team prefers to work at night for this mission since the criminal elements seems to enjoy the same thing. The team finds themselves sitting in Frank's car just behind the corner of another warehouse. Borus has stepped outside so the rest of the team can be comfortable since the car isn't very big. The ride over was hell because Rachel and Koto had to sit on Enrique's and Borus' laps respectively. Koto didn't have much of a problem with Borus, but Enrique couldn't help being himself with the young blonde on his lap. With Borus out of the car, the two put a lot of space between eachother.
Frank studies the targeted warehouse in the distance with his binoculars. "The ship is pulling in. I see Manelli's goons leaving the warehouse. Okay, let's go."
The team piles out of the car and heads to the warehouse. They stop when they reach the alley behind it.
"Okay, there's a number of entrances here: the front, the side, and the back. We'll need to cover as much of the warehouse as possible so that Manelli doesn't escape. There's also the fire escape, the windows, and a skylight. Before we do anything we should try to find Manelli. He's here somewhere so it shouldn't be too hard. Any volunteers?"
Borus shakes his head. "Not me. They'll have guns, so I'll look for a way in that brings me close to the goons. You know, so that when the shooting begins, I'm in their way."
Frank nods. "I guess I'll go up the fire escape and look for a good place to use this," Frank raises an air rifle. "I don't have many tranquilizers though. You'd think getting the rifle would be harder than the darts."
There are 3 teams here: Borus' team, which will be the team that goes face-to-face with Manelli's goons, Frank's team, which will look to support Borus' team, and the team that searches for Manelli so that they can get a bead on him. Manelli's team goes first and must avoid alerting any guards, so this group should consist of sneaks. Last Edit: Jun 28, 2006 at 3:53pm by TG Barighm keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

Yes, I know, I need to upload his sheet ) ============================================ Borus adjusts a pair of workman's gloves he bought a week or two ago. Something about keeping the blood off his hands. "So long as you hit the right people, you can cover what you want. Screw us, and we'll be 'covering' you." ASSAULT TEAM: Borus starts by quietly making his way to the front of the warehouse. Since Enrique and Janus will be heading in the side way, Borus decides it might be better to get right in the criminals' faces. He sneaks up to a few stacked crates, then closes in to the warehouse entrance. He then ducks down as Manelli's goons walk up to a cargo ship. A ramp has been lowered for them, but they're not unloading anything yet. They seem to be conversing with a couple of the ship's crewmen. "I guess they're waiting on Manelli," Borus speculates before turning to Lucas. "Okay, there's about...6 of them. At the moment. I can't see what they're packing, but I'll bet my last wad of cash they've got guns, and not pea-shooters either. Lucas, can you make an ice wall about...oh, a foot wide and say, 15 ft. long? Just over there, beyond these crates." *And before you ask, yes he can. I'm just looking at responses at the moment. SUPPORT TEAM: Frank, Koto, and Rachel climb to the top of the fire escape. They do not find a door. Instead, they find a window overlooking a catwalk. "Man, you guys must be sick of warehouses by now," Frank jokes as he examines the window. "It's not old. This one actually has a good locking mechanism on it. Great. Going to be hard to get in this way, unless..." Frank looks up to the roof. "You guys aren't afraid of heights, are you?" SEARCH TEAM: Standing at the side entrance to the warehouse, Enrique can't help but chuckle at their situation. A locked door, even a padlocked one, has long since been downgraded to a minor annoyance for this band of superheroes, but they still have trouble with the opening of that same door under stealth conditions. And so here Enrique and Janus stand, in front of a padlocked door, and no other way to get in short of smashing a window...or joining one of the other teams. How do they proceed?

Same distance from door. They're barred, fyi) ============================================ MAX: He can fly to the docks, which he does. Directions were left behind so he won't have too much trouble finding the team. We'll assume he left earlier so that he gets to the action quickly. Since there is only one ship preparing to unload cargo at this time of night, Max assumes the warehouse it parallels is Manelli's. He flies just off to the side and out of sight and ends up in the alley behind the warehouse. He spotted a few shapes on the catwalk, but he's not sure who that is. He also spotted a bulky shadow hiding behind some crates close to the entrance of the warehouse. That must be Borus. SEARCH TEAM: Janus listens for any electronics behind the door. There doesn't appear to be anything directly around the door, but there are a couple of very minor ones in the room around it. Nothing major. Possibly a radio or a phone. The strange thing is, Janus hears more electronic noise coming from under him. Sounds like a motor. Janus notes the door is safe so Enrique continues with melting the lock. He attempts to hide the act with his body, but the intense heat and flames surrounding his hand create a fair bit of light around the door. It takes some time, a few minutes or so, but Enrique eventually manages to melt the lock. It falls onto the ground as a gooey red lump and the door silently swings open. Janus-WIS: They probably shouldn't leave that gooey lump on the ground like that. Last Edit: Jun 29, 2006 at 2:20pm by TG Barighm keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard ***** keno Avatar Fear!

Both Rachel and Koto's eyes widen at the remark, but they don't have much time to think about it as Frank grabs Rachel and positions her under the roof. Koto aids him, and soon Rachel is pulling herself up, with the help of her grasping force power. They then grab Koto, and Frank follows shortly after. After a quick look around the roof, they find the sky light Frank was talking about and run over to it. Thankfully the weather has been good lately so it's not slippery, but the cold wind bites a little bit harder up here. Frank kneels down to check the sky light. "This one is opened by a crank on the catwalk below. We might be able to force this one open. Or we could just wait for Borus to start whatever he plans to do and smash it open. Hmm...I should have brought some walkie-talkies." Rachel and Koto stare at Frank. The private eye eventually notices them and chuckles. "No, I'm not gay. I just said that so I could boost you guys up without any fuss. You both have nice asses by the way." *Should be around late February, early March.

Janus thinks for a moment before nodding to Borus, "I've never really tried anything like this before, just so you know. I'm really quite new to this whole superpower thing. But I'll try." He looks to where Borus indicated, and concentrates. Lucas drops his clenched fists to his sides, and tenses up as the air in the indicated area begins to 'frost up', then suddenly snapping into a solid sheet of sparkling, clear ice.

Janus looks out the small window and spots a few men with guns gathered around a small table playing cards. Uzis, of course, and they appear to be looking in the direction of the front entrance. Something must be distracting them. Janus then looks left and right and spots a man standing in the far corner on the left. At his foot is a small hatch. Just to the left of the man Janus can see a control panel with a red and green button on it, but he can't see the device it's connected to. Considering how it's guarded, Janus figures it's worth noting. Janus then looks up and spots the catwalk and skylight. He doesn't see anyone on the catwalk, but he does see a shadow just outside the skylight. Probably Frank and Koto. There's also a bunch of crates, most unopened, scattered around the floor of the warehouse. One is just outside the office and blocks the view of the men at the table, but the left side is open to the guy guarding the hatch. The right side of the warehouse is obscured from Janus' view. Without any light in the office, Enrique finds it difficult to search through all the papers. He creates a bit of flame for light, but Janus quickly reminds him not to make it too bright. Despite this, Enrique quickly grows frustrated since he's not exactly sure what he's looking for (the information covers stuff for the whole dock, so there's lots of things to look over), and soon just throws stuff aside. He considers burning it, but Janus stops him. Janus, while trying to keep a lookout, isn't able to provide much insight on what is worth using and what's not.

"Hey! You! Behind the crates! Get out here and put up your hands!"
"No problem!" Borus yells as he lifts one of the seven crates above his head. Max follows, and soon the two Children, hands raised, albeit gripping crates, are armed with massive wooden crates. Four of the six men are standing on the exposed side of the ice wall, but despite pulling uzis, they're too shocked by the sight to fire. Lucas coats Borus' crate with a spikey layer of ice, simply because he's closer, and the two superheroes let rip. Max may be the stronger superhero, but Borus seems to have been practicing his tossing because his crate slams dead-on into one of the central goons. Max, unfortunately, hasn't been practicing his tossing because he overestimated the weight of the crate and tosses it into the bay. The crates are big enough to cause the other goons to attempt to dive out of the way as ice and wood splinters shower the goons.
"Another volley?" Borus asks with a grin. It sounds good to Max, so they pick up a couple more crates and toss them at the goons, but this time the crates slam harmlessly into the ground as the goons scatter. The two behind the wall of ice jump to their feet and begin to pepper the heroes with gunfire. Both Max and Borus, grasping for more crates, are caught flat-footed and find themselves riddled with small holes, but Borus' quickly close up.
Borus ducks down behind the crates. "Okay popsicle boy, NOW we can use a wall of ice. Maybe even some balls of ice I can toss at them."

The sounds of gunfire begin to fill the air. Frank looks up, then frowns.
"What the hell? Why are they fighting outside? We better go see what's up."
Running across the roof is kind of tricky, but Frank, Koto, and Rachel have little trouble crossing it. When they get to the end, they look down to see a group of men, armed with guns and surrounding a wall of ice, shooting on a stack of crates just around the corner of the warehouse.

They begin to ready their guns as popping noises begin to filter into the small room from outside. Looks like Borus has begun his distraction.
Suddenly a loud hum fills the warehouse as some kind of machinery is activated. Janus can hear the electricity from the machine to his left, so he knows it has to do with those red and green buttons keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

Janus opens the door and takes a peek at the warehouse. There doesn't seem to be much stuff on the right side of the warehouse. There is another goon sleeping on a chair (how he could sleep through this racket baffles Janus'), a small forklift, and a bunch of crowbears, hammers, and nails scattered around the floor. Janus gets a better look on his left and sees a ladder ascending to the catwalk above, a black Lincoln (car), and the machine, which turns out to be a lift. The platform of the lift operates by descending below the warehouse. It's currently lowered, so Janus can see the water of the bay, but the lift is rising.
A couple more goons open the hatch near the lift and climb into the warehouse. That brings the total number of goons in the warehouse to six. Since the lift no longer appears to be threat, Janus doesn't rush to shut it down.
SUPPORT TEAM:
Koto watches the action below while Frank and Rachel jog over to the skylight. Frank jumps down to the catwalk below without a second thought. He somehow manages to accomplish this without making any noise, so the goons below don't spot him. He helps Rachel down then moves to the back wall for cover.
"There's someone coming up that lift. Hard to tell who it is at this angle, but I can see it's two men. One's a blonde and the other has dark hair. It could be Manelli. If it is, be ready to bind him. I'll hit him with a dart," Frank explains to Rachel as the private eye loads a dart into the air gun's chamber.
As the lift rises, the two begin to talk rather loudly to be heard over the noise.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about? Before this frickin racket started?"
"You have done rather well, and your connections have proven to be most useful, but it's time to end our little arrangement."
"What the hell? What the fuck for? Everything is going so smoothly! I've never made so much money in my life, and all I'm getting is a cut of your profits. You can't just quit now!"
"Oh, don't worry, I'm not quitting, but this particular avenue of wealth gain is no longer necessary. It's time for me to upscale my operations, and this meager bit of wealth isn't enough to fund them."
"Damn it, Richard! You better not be leaving me high and dry or else you won't be leaving. Period."
"No need for the threats, my good friend. You'll still have your...other goods. I'm passing the rest of the operation on to you. Enjoy!"
Frank develops a puzzled look as the conversation continues on. "I think the blonde guy in the white suit is this 'Richard' character. Funny. I've never heard of him. The other guy must be Manelli."
"Manelli", or the dark haired guy, steps off the lift as soon as it stops, but "Richard" only hits the green button to send it back down.
"Hey, what are you doing? Aren't you going to help me out?" The dark haired man yells.
"I'm sorry, but since our arrangement has come to an end I'm no longer obligated to aid you. Good evening, gentlemen." The blonde haired man begins to descend as the dark haired man throws up his hands. He turns to one of the goons.
"Crap! We'll deal with him later. Where's my gun, and what the hell is going on here?"
"Someone was sneaking around outside."
"Cops?"
"I don't think so. They didn't identify themselves as cops when they arrived, they just began throwing stuff at us."
"One of the other families must have found me. Okay, kill them all, then we'll dump their bodies in the bay. Where's the keys to the car? I need them!"
Frank nods. "That's Manelli all right, but there's an awful lot of goons around at the moment. If we shoot now, and I miss, he'll only run and we'll have to play cat and mouse. This has already attracted more attention than I wanted it to. Let's wait and see if it clears up. God, I hope Enrique and Janus are inside."

SEARCH TEAM:
Janus begins to creep out of the office, but he's immediately spotted by Manelli, who has a clear view of the door and is on alert because of all the noise.
"Hey, wait...I recognize one of them! Damn, it's them! Kill them!"
Manelli takes the initiative and pops off a shot first. Thankfully his weapon is just a pistol, but it hurts just the same. Janus takes a shot to the shoulder, but thankfully it seems to be more of a graze (-4 HP). Enrique grabs Janus and pulls him back into the little office and slams the door shut.

(The lift goes from BELOW the warehouse floor to ground level, which allows someone to pilot a boat under the dock, under the warehouse, and to a wet loading area below the ground. Activating the dock lifts the load from sea level to the warehouse's floor. I'm quite sure I noted Janus could see under the dock when I described the lift and that it was rising up to the warehouse floor, which would suggest it's a sub level lift) *Checked again to make sure I didn't mess up the description. A couple extra words could have helped; otherwise, it was just fine. You know, slashing, piercing, blunt, pure cold Energy, etc., as long as it's ice, and I'm firing it from my person?

(You would think so, but for the purposes of balance I generally track all cold damage as energy damage. Since cold damage needs to deal a shitload to overcome object hardness, I figured crafting solid objects, albeit not very strong solid objects in a modern setting, would be a nice balancer. The idea here is you can create a solid object or fire off freezing energy, but you can't fire off and craft an ice chunk at the same time since both actions are standard actions in themselves. I guess the only way you could do both is to gain two standard actions in a round, but since you can just craft solid objects ahead of time I don't see why you'd want to) Last Edit: Jul 6, 2006 at 1:18am by TG Barighm crabs Kilrogg's Honor Guard ***** crabs Avatar Posts: 915 Jul 6, 2006 at 5:18am Quote like Post Options Post by crabs on Jul 6, 2006 at 5:18am (Whatever happened to the maps? ) New and improved!

Manelli is nowhere in sight, but all 5 of the standing goons are closing in on the office. SUPPORT TEAM: Frank watches as Manelli shoots at Janus. He quickly shoulders the rifle and fires on the mob boss. Unfortunately, he's not fast enough to prevent the injury to the team's leader, but he does nail Manelli square in the arm. Manelli looks up, but Frank just manages to duck out of the way. He plucks the dart out of his arm and tosses it aside before turning to his men. "Sniper on the catwalk!" Manelli yells, but his men seem preoccupied with Janus and Enrique. Manelli now gives up on searching for his keys and jumps down the lift well. "Crap! This is getting too complicated. Rachel, see if you can help Janus and Enrique out. I'll take care of Manelli." ASSAULT TEAM (and Koto): The goons are about 90 ft. away from Koto from her position on top of the warehouse, but that's just enough for her to nail the gunners with a degree of accuracy (good thing she took that extra ranged training). She decides to focus on the two gunners standing behind the wall of ice. She fires a half-strength bolt of sonic energy at one of the gunners and smacks him in the side. The gunner flinches then begins to wildly look around for the source of the attack. Seeing this, Max and Borus toss a couple more crates. This time both crates connect, and one of the gunners outside the ice wall fall. A couple gunners manage to fire back, but only Borus is struck. With his resistences, that is simply not a problem. Now Lucas creates an ice wall between the heroes and the remaining crates. It's not very high, so everyone has to get down very low to get any cover. Borus turns to Max.

Setting himself aflame, and he can do that now without worrying about hurting himself, Diablo immediately chars the door until it's hanging weakly from a half-melted hinge. Exactly as said: be will cone the door. Janus, who had to step outside to avoid the intense heat, returns to find Enrique staring down the goons. Most of them exchange glances upon sighting the walking nightmare, but two of them don't flinch. Instead, they fire another round of automatice gunfire Diablo's way. Maybe he was expecting the goons to run away, or maybe he was simply too angry to care, but Diablo barely flinches in his attempt to dodge the gunfire. He instead takes the full brunt of the attack. Thankfully, the goons have terrible aim since Diablo only gets struck by two bullets, but they still hurt (-15 HP). Janus tries to lean around Enrique to get a blast of his own in, but the flaming Mexican radiates too much heat. Janus is forced to stand back. Seeking to correct his earlier mistake, Diablo spews forth a wave of fire at the goons. All do their best to dive out of the way. The two on the right manage to get behind the card table for a bit of cover, but the rest are engulfed in flames (23 HP, 12 on save). Their clothes and hair continue to burn as they run around in circles screaming (Burn 5 rounds). Some of the crates near the office also catch on fire due to Enrique's attack. The goon sleeping on the chair mutters something about noise while the goons under the card table scramble for new magazines. STATUS LINE: Janus -11 HP, Enrique -15 HP ASSAULT TEAM (and Koto): Back outside, Borus grabs the only ball of ice Lucas created and whips it at one of the dock goons standing behind Lucas' first wall of ice. Borus nails the goon square in the face and knocks him on his ass, but the fallen goon quickly scrambles back to his feet. Max fires on the closest goons with his eye rays, which prove to be a lot easier to use, and drops a third. With only two goons left standing outside the ice wall, Borus leaps over the second ice wall and charges a goon trying to reload his uzi. Lucas' covers him, but just misses as the second goon fires on the big man. Koto adds some support fire, but she strikes the side of the first ice wall. Now all of the goons capable of doing so fire on Borus, but the bullets deflect off of his toughened skin. Borus uses his momentum to drop another goon, then he slams into Lucas' first ice wall. The wall easily slides under the superhero's strength, and the two goon find themselves doubled over the barrier. Max finishes off the last goon outside the barrier while Lucas scares more people with his wild tosses of freezing energy. Borus finishes off the fight by grabbing the two goons leaning over the ice wall and smacking them into eachother. "Okay, that takes care of this mess. Is there anything else we need to take care of?" Borus says as he spins around. A burst of light illuminates the cracks around the warehouse's main entrance. "Looks like Enrique has his game on," Borus jokes as he forces the smaller side door open and peeks inside. "Yep, Enrique is doing his thing.

If ice, say, had 20 hp per foot of hardness, and you roll 20 hp damage on average, then the strongest ice object you can create would equal the volume of a 1 ft. cube of ice. When you want to create bigger objects, I just stretch out the ice cube to match. Long story short, if you want to create stronger objects, increase your ice damage) *Officially, it's 36 hp per foot, or 3 hp per inch. ASSAULT TEAM: Lucas creates his slide of ice, but it looks awfully flimsy. Borus demonstrates this by poking it. It cracks, folds into itself, then crumbles to the ground. "Why risk jumping?" Borus shouts. "Max?' As instructed, Max flies up, grabs Koto, then brings her down to the ground. Koto heals everyone who needs it, then the team turns back to the matter at hand. "All right, let's go in and help Enrique," Borus says as he whips the side door open. Borus sizes up the situation before actually charging in.

Janus, unable to do anything this mission, curses. Borus looks around. "Is that all of them?" The lift activates in the back of the warehouse. The team watches as Franks ascends to the main floor with an unconscious Manelli supported by his main hand. "Don't worry. He's asleep," Frank assures before allowing the mob boss to collapse to the floor. Koto begins to heal the team as Lucas puts out the burning goons. Frank examines the destruction wrought by the team and sighs. "Okay, that's 3 down. How are the rest?" Borus cracks his knuckles. "They're a little worse for wear, but they'll be fine after a little medical attention. We were pretty easy on them. We should probably send Koto out to heal them though." Koto sighs, but she obliges without an argument. She heals the downed goons just enough to keep them from dying, but not enough to wake any of them. "Okay, we've got the mob boss, now let's see what's in these crates. Grab a crowbar and open them," Frank orders as he prepares his camera. Max and Borus happily oblige without crowbars, and soon a large number of crates are exposed. Frank examines them with a look of awe. "What...what's this? Knights Templar shields? Mayan temple cuttings? Miniature Olmec heads? A set of Roman centaurion armour?" Frank rummages around the artifacts for anything else of interest, but he slams the side of the crate when he doesn't find anything. "Smuggling artifiacts is illegal too, right?" Borus says with a shrug. "Yes, it is, but only from the country the artifacts were stolen from. You think the Costa Rican government is going to send police here to search for a mob boss just for this? Or any of the other governments?" Frank raises the chunk from the temple. "You think the FBI cares? There are ways around this sort of thing." Max yells something, so the team runs over. One of Max's crates contain a collection of M-16's. "Does this make you feel better, Frank?" Borus asks. Frank nods as he slaps Enrique's outstretched hand. "Much. No guns for you, El Diablo." After that, the team uses the cameras to take pictures of the crime scene, but then they decide to forego the picture development process and instead settle on having Lucas freeze all the goons, and Manelli, in place before calling the police. Enrique leaves his classic burning devil mark on the ground just to indicate that someone "super" was involved without indicating exactly who it is, then the team departs. "What are we going to do with the charred bodies?" Borus asks as the team heads for Frank's car. Frank sighs. "I'll take care of them. You guys just go. Here, take my keys." [glow=red,2,300]ALL CHARACTERS ADVANCE TO LV.9!![/glow] *But not cohorts * * * * * * Lance rubs his eyes for what felt like the hundredth time as he stares at the computer screen. Yet another anti-superhuman website has popped up in the last few days, and like all the others, it has a strong following. How all of these websites manage to gain over 10,000 members in a week is beyond Lance. He didn't think he was doing THAT great a job. Don't people have anything better to do than curse superhumans on the internet? Lance shakes his head as he takes a sip of his coffee. Monitoring the internet for any news regarding anti-superhuman groups isn't normally his job, but he sent Alex out on assignment and everyone else isn't very computer savvy, plus he's just plain bored. Watching and waiting for things to develop is a very dull way to advance one's plans, but it must be done. He can't afford any slip-ups now, especially while things are going so well. An ad for a porn site suddenly pops up, complete with touch-screen action. Lance rolls his eyes. Porno sites have sure come a long way in the last few years, but it doesn't interest him much. After all, Julia is just in the next room. What does he need porn for? Lance shakes his head. It's hard to not think about someone when they can read your thoughts. It's even worse when it's a woman. He can't get away with anything. Lance stops as he clicks on another anti-superhuman website. What's this? A nation-wide protest? Millions of people involved? Lance erupts in lung-splitting laughter. Oh, the gods are smiling on him this day! And why shouldn't they. After all, he's in the same boat.

Jul 17, 2006 at 9:01pm Quote Edit like Post Options Post by TG Barighm on Jul 17, 2006 at 9:01pm SHAMELESS FORTUNE: ===============
Jego Martinez isn't the tallest of men. He's very moderate looking. Average height, close-cropped hair, and a very forgettable face, Jego wouldn't stand out in a crowd even if you placed the black man among a group of KKK cultists. Even as he stands at the helm of the ship pretending to steer it, he still strikes one as a normal errand boy. That's why he was such a successful criminal for so many years. He was caught many times, but he was let go each and every time. Nobody ever thought the great Jego Martinez could be so normal looking.
Jego slowly spins the wheel to its right. The wheel doesn't actually do anything, it's purely for show. The ship's engines are controlled almost entirely by computers, but Jego just likes having the wheel there. He puffs on a cigar for a minute before turning to face Frank.
"I've had this ship for 5 years and she has been very good to me," Jego begins in his thick Caribbean accent, "I would hate to see something happen to her."
Frank tilts his head a bit. "Why? Are you worried my team will damage your ship? I can assure you that won't happen."
Jego trades his cigar for an envelope in his pocket. "I will not lie, my good friend, I'm not proud of everything I've done in my life, but make no mistake about it, my choices have proven to be prosperous. I have lived many years with the knowledge that one day somebody who knows what I have done will come along seeking justice. When that day comes, I will submit to the powers that be, but only if I must. For now, I will enjoy the life I have crafted for myself."
"Jego, I don't need to hear your life story. Just tell me what's up," Frank asks with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"I got this today. It was mailed to me; to this ship, and I've heard two others just like it were mailed to my...other adresses," Jego explains as he opens the envelope and begins to read aloud, "'Captain Martinez, we know all about you. We know where you hide your past, and we have liberated its contents. We know what you did at the cafe. Give up your guests or else we'll expose you.'"
Frank raises an eyebrow. "Maybe they're bluffing? Does it say who sent it?"
"It's simply signed 'ASH', and regardless, I must ask you to leave my ship. If I can avoid any trouble, I will."
Frank growls. "That damn Ashbury again."
Jego returns to the wheel and gives it a little spin. "I expect your team to be off my ship within the hour. I wish you good luck in your travels."
* * * * *
It was kind of unusual for the team to suddenly find themselves gathered in their little niche by noon. They were dismissed from their jobs and all of their gear was packed up. Frank was more surly then usual as he hustled them off the ship and into two different cars without saying where they were going.
"We were asked to leave, weren't we?" Borus asked. Frank didn't respond.
Borus shakes his head. "Great. What do we do now?"
"I don't know," the confusion in Frank's face is rather obvious. He clearly doesn't know what to do. TG Barighm Administrator *****

THE COFFEE AND DOUGHNUT HOUSE: ==========================
The old man pushes the coffee aside. Awful stuff. Terrible. How can anyone drink this? Or these "doughnuts"? The old man shakes his head. He knows why people put up with it, but he still doesn't understand it. Knowing everything can be as confusing as ignorance at times. But he has to be here. He has to be at this location at this time. Everything hinges on it, but there are no worries. He knows everything will be fine.
The door opens and a man in a white suit enters the shop. He completely ignores the odd stares he receives from the other patrons as he makes a beeline towards the old man. He takes a seat across from him, adjusts his cuffs, and carefully folds his hands in front of himself as he stares the old man in the eye.
"Ah, Achiel! This is such an incredible surprise! I never thought I'd see you again, or any of the others for that matter, but you probably already knew that."
The old man nods. "Most certainly, but I fear my memory has weakened these past few years. My powers aren't what they used to be."
The man in the white suit laughs. "Age? You're aging? How odd. Well, you never were as powerful as the rest of us, so I could only assume you wouldn't live as long either. Me, I'm as healthy and strong as I was during the barbarian raids. Funny how that all turned out."
The old man sighs. He doesn't like to dwell on his past years. "I see you're doing well for yourself. Tell me, what name do you go by in this life?"
The man rolls his eyes. "Either you really are losing it or you're trying to make a joke. You must know."
The old man nods. "Indeed, I do...Richard. I'm sorry, it slipped for a few moments. Yes, I know your name now."
"Either of you two like a cup of coffee?" A young waitress asks.
"Go away," Richard commands. The young lady immediately turns and leaves. She mumbles something about rudeness, but the old man doesn't tell Richard that.
Richard leans back into his seat and rests his head on his hands. "Tell me, Achiel, what is the meaning of this little meeting of ours? You can't be interested in reforming the group, are you? A third of us are dead, and you know the pact we made. I don't care about the others, but I never argued with common sense."
The old man shakes his head. "Oh, no. Nothing at all like that, but I am curious about your late actions. As you said, we made a pact, but you don't seem to be honouring a good bit of it. You know I know the 'what' about everything, but the 'why' will forever elude me. I can't read your mind."
Richard laughs. "Haven't you heard? Superhumans are now common knowledge, and the Inquisition ended centuries ago. Besides, what do you care? What I do has nothing to do with you, unless you know I'm going to kill you at some later date, maybe?"
The old man shakes his head. "Oh, no, nothing like that. Our end will have nothing to do with us, nor any of the others for that matter."
"But you have seen my end, and the others? Will you tell me what it is now?" Richard leans closer to the old man. The old man shakes his head. Richard leans back and sighs. "One day, Achiel. One day. You must tell me, and now that I know you are here, that day will come. At least it will when I'm finished with my current business. I'm not interested in dealing with you yet."
"And that is what I want to know. What are you hoping to accomplish from this?"
Richard smiles. "There is no need to hide anymore, is there? And since there are now many of us, there is no need to hide what we are, is there? Heh...look at your clothes! Clearly you agree with me."
The old man looks down at his vest and jeans. Yes, they are rather nice, aren't they? "I'm not a priest. After all these years of living in solitude, I deserve a little bit of comfort, but gaining a bit of wealth and living a nice, quiet life isn't anything like what you're doing."
Richard leans back in his chair again, but this time he gives the old man a cold stare. "Now you're annoying me. Let me make this clear to you: what I do is my own business, and if you don't like it, then tough. And you better not get in my way, old man. Your powers won't stop me from seeking you out and killing you. Not for one minute. Now, since you've succeeded at wasting my time, I'm going to attempt to preserve some of it."
Richard slips out of the booth and straightens his suit. "Don't you go anywhere. You're going to tell me how I die even if I have to force it out of you."
"Why did you burn the library?"
Richard stops and glances back at the old man. "Is that what this is about? That damned library? You're still thinking about that?"
The old man glares back. "It was a treasure trove of ancient knowledge, the one thing that could have healed this troubled world, and you destroyed it. If I could understand what you're doing now, maybe, just maybe..."
"You could understand why I burnt the library? Forget it, old man, I did what I did, and that's all. Besides, there should only be one of you, no need for others."
"So that's your reason?"
Richard shakes his head. "No, that's not it, nor do I care to share it with you. It's none of your business, really. Now, I must be off," Richard turns towards the door.
"Not that way. You should go for the side entrance."
Richard stops and gives the old man an odd glance. The old man responds by pointing outside and directly at a group of very familiar people. Richard groans, then turns back to the old man.
"A side entrance, you say? Oh, there it is. Yes, I don't want to make a scene just yet. This doesn't mean I'm not going to find you later," Richard warns as he hastens towards the side entrance. At the same time, the undercover ASH member finishes with his coffee and follows him.
The old man gathers up his coffee and doughnut then dumps it in the trash as he also makes for the side entrance. Oh yes, everything is necessary at one point or another. Richard's time will come, but it's not their time yet.
* * * * *
Frank rushes into the Coffee and Doughnut house while the rest of the team piles out of the cars.
"Why this place, Frank? You don't believe they will have good coffee, do you?" Borus asks as he shades the sun from his eyes.
"No, but it's the only place I saw with 'coffee' in their name, so we're going in. I need some time to think over a nice cup of coffee," Frank almost makes coffee sound divine as he rushes into the little shop to make an order. Borus shakes his head, then follows.
The team eventually find themselves gathered inside a booth. Frank doesn't take spend much time enjoying his coffee. Instead, he dumps some cash on the table and pulls out his keys.
"I gotta go arrange a place for us to stay. I need to call in some favours, but it will take awhile. A few hours or so. Just stay here and wait for me, or you can walk around a bit, just so long as you stay in this area. I'll leave the other car behind if you need it. On second thought, don't walk around. You don't want to be recognized."
"Like this place will be any better," Borus says between bites of doughnut. "It's fine Frank, we'll live. At this point I almost wouldn't mind going to prison. At least I'd be able to get away from all this uncertainty and running around."
Frank rolls his eyes. "Yeah, whatever, just wait for me, okay?"
Frank departs, and the rest of the team is left to their own devices.
Pam pokes at a doughnut she ordered, but she doesn't eat much these days.
"It's okay, Pam, we'll find Rad," Borus assures Pam with a light pat on the back. She doesn't seem very confident.
Borus turns back to the team. "Okay, ideas. Now. What do we do from here?" Last Edit: Jul 17, 2006 at 10:20pm by TG Barighm Sin Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

Jul 20, 2006 at 4:16pm Quote Edit like Post Options Post by TG Barighm on Jul 20, 2006 at 4:16pm THE COFFEE AND DOUGHNUT HOUSE: ==========================
Andrew leans back in his seat and rests his head on his heads. "You guys are just in a rut. All you need to do is get out, so stop crying over your problems and start doing something about them. I'm getting tired of hearing you guys bitch and moan all the time. Superheroes? Yeah, right. More like super whiners."
Borus rounds on Andrew with an angry look, but he manages to hold himself back. He composes himself, then calmly replies. "If you have such a big problem with how we do things, you're free to leave. Nobody said you had to stay, and you certainly don't sound like you want to stay. And if you believe you have some kind of magical solution to our problems, by all means, share it! Otherwise, shut the fuck up."
Andrew just shakes his head. "Nah, I'm not going to leave. This gig is just too cool to give up. I haven't had this much excitement in a long time."
Borus groans, then slumps into is seat. Pam flicks a piece of her doughnut across the table and hits Andrew in the chest, but he doesn't seem to notice.
"Charles is probably the smartest one," Borus mumbles.
The team sits in their booth and lingers over their problems in silence for awhile longer...
"Hey! Joe! Turn on the TV, will ya?" a patron shouts.
"Joe", a fairly tall, burly man with a dirty apron reaches up to the small TV bolted to the roof and flicks it on.
"This is Action Pulse with breaking news! Anti-superhuman protests have begun springing up all over the country! In most cases the protests number in the tens of thousands, but we have received numbers in the neighbourhood of hundreds of thousands, even MILLIONS in places like New York and Miami! Based on these numbers, we estimate as many as 10 million people all over the US protesting all at once. Apparently this protest has had weeks to be organized over the internet. That would explain how so many people were able to do so in so many places at once. Adrian Rivers was able to catch up to one of the protesters at a smaller protest outside Idaho for an interview."
The screen switches over to a shot of a red-faced man with a large sign resting on his shoulder. "We're not asking for much. All we want superhumans to do is accept their uniqueness among the population and recognize that they pose a unique threat to our country. We believe all superhumans should submit themselves to genetic testing to find some kind of solution to the problem, and those who submit should be catalogued in a national database."
Back to the news anchor. "At the moment, there are protests in every major city across the US. We currently don't have any information on protests taking place outside of these cities. More as the story develops."
Borus rolls his eyes. "Great. Now we're a national 'threat'. It's sure getting harder and harder to remain confident in our cause when everyone hates us like this."
Andrew just stares while Pam continues flicking doughnut pieces at him. She seems to be enjoying the little exercise now.
Borus pokes Andrew. He doesn't seem to respond. "Hey! What are you staring at?"
Andrew snaps back to reality, then shoves Borus' finger away. "There's this hot blonde at the counter. Older, but that just means she's more 'experienced'."
Borus rolls his eyes. "We have a crisis on our hand and that's all you can think about?"
"Hey, just because you guys have a problem doesn't mean I can't have a little fun. Trust me, she'd be worth it. Check her out," Andrew points at the counter.
"She better be a fox," Borus grumbles as he turns in his seat. He spots the blonde in question: long, flowing hair, white skirt and coat, probably some kind of professional, perfect curves that are generous in the most desireable places, and rings adorning every finger. Her face is currently facing away from the team.
Borus turns back. "I'm not seeing the mind-bendingly powerful fascination you seem to have with her."
Andew sighs. "Damn fag. Look again."
Borus grits his teeth, then turns around again, but this time he sees something he didn't notice before. He can't quite place his finger on it, but this woman seems to be incredibly familiar. His questions are answered when she abruptly turns in her seat and waves at him. She then picks up a cup of coffee, nonchalantly walks over to the team's booth, and squeezes her way onto the seat directly beside Enrique and across from Koto.
"Hello. It's a lovely day, isn't it?" Julia asks as she takes a sip of coffee.
The team stares at her with stunned expressions. She giggles.
"Oh, no. Don't worry. This isn't about business. I'm just waiting for someone," Julia giggles again. "You guys look like fish. You should stop staring like that."
Borus maintains his stunned expression. "The hell...?"
Andrew's smile evolves into a stupid looking, playful smile. "Holy cow! You didn't tell me you knew her! Damn rude of you to keep a secret like that!"

Julia suddenly looks up at seemingly nothing, smiles, then looks back at the team.
"Oh, it would appear my friend is here. It was nice catching up with you guys. See ya!" Julia gives one last little wave to the team before departing the coffee shop.
Borus takes his eye off Pam long enough to glance at Julia's departure. "The hell...?"
Andrew gasps. "Wha...wait, no! Give me your number! Hey! ...god damnit, you big ox! You couldn't even introduce me?"
Borus growls. "That was Julia! She works under Lance! She's our enemy! And you want her phone number? What the hell is wrong with you?"
Andrew shrugs. "Hey, you're the one with the personal vendetta. I wasn't the one imprisoned, remember?"
Borus rubs his face in exasperation. "Oh, good lord...well, I wonder who Julia's 'friend' is?"
A low, thunderous thud begins to fill the coffee house. Customers look around in consternation as a hum begins to fill the air. Soon the thuds and hum materialize in a massive crowd of people that fills the entire street. They wave signs with anti-superhuman slogans painted on them. They shout and scream all sorts of phrases and slogans as they raise their fists against superhumans. Some slogans make valid points, others are purely hateful, but one thing is clear...
"It's that damned superhuman protest," Borus announces with another groan. "Our luck is pure shit right now."
Andrew sighs. "Oh, calm down. They're just protesting. Give them time to walk by and keep quiet."
Pam suddenly lets out a squeek. The party turns to see her pointing at something in the street. The subject of her attention is one very familiar, average-looking guy with with a plain haircut and a jean jacket.
Borus slams the table. "Holy fucking shit!! That's Terry!"
Pam grabs Borus' arm. "The last time we saw him in a public place..."
"He tore it up, but why would he be out there? We're in here. He's almost 60 ft. away from us. There's no way he can hit us from..." Borus eyes widen. "Oh shit..."
Andrew stares at the protest with a thoughtful look on his face. "She said 'speed the process a bit'. The 'process' being...?" Last Edit: Jul 21, 2006 at 12:35am by TG Barighm Sin Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

Most cars are forced to stop as the protestors arrive, and a police car arrives on the scene with a loudspeaker. "This is an illegal protest. You are not authorized to block this street," the officer blares, but the protestors don't seem to care. They keep marching until they reach Terry, who immediately waves for them to stop. One of the protestors step away from the rest of the crowd. "Are you waiting for us? Are you protesting too?" Terry shakes his head. "Oh, no. Quite the opposite. You see, I'm a superhuman." The protestor growls. "One of you, huh? Listen to what we say, take a hint, then get the hell out of our way. We're not going to put up with your type." Terry's eyes widen. "Really? Gee, that's unfortunate. Well, I'm going to have to say the same thing: listen to what I say, take a hint, then get the hell out of here. Superhumans shouldn't have to listen to such inferior beings such as you." Now the protestor's eyes widen. The look eventually changes to rage, then the protestor pokes Terry. "Inferior? Listen to me, you son of a bitch, that attitude is the kind of thing we're protesting here. You're not better than us just because you're 'gifted'. You're just another insignificant piece of shit like everyone else on this planet who thinks he's something special." Terry glances at the finger pressed against his chest. He smirks. "Your finger...is pressed...against my chest. I don't like that, you cock-sucker." The protestor growls again. "Oh, that's it! Let's just get him, guys!" A bunch of protestors begin to move towards Terry as he begins making mocking gestures at them. "Oh gee, the scary crowd is going to get me. Oh, help me! Help me! Oh, Lady Luck, why have you forsaken me? ...NOT!" And then it happens. Terry throws his patented earth-shredding punch in the direction of the crowd. Many protestors are launched in multiple directions, some more violently than others, and some, upon hitting the ground, stop moving. The protestors immediately fallback from Terry as the police officer jumps into his car... But something happens. One protestor's frightened expression suddenly turns to anger, then another. And another. And another. Even the police officer exits his car with a shotgun. All of a sudden, a large amount of the crowd develops an insane look on their face. "You monster! We won't tolerate this! GET HIM!" someone yells Terry snaps his fingers and kicks a rock. "Oh, darn. I've made them angry! Looks like I need to run away. How unfortunate." Terry suddenly turns to the coffee shop. "Hey! If you guys are interested in Round 2, just keep up! I'll be waiting!" And then the villain runs down an alley. A large portion of the crowd, including the police officer, give chase. A person from a balcony overlooking a street suddenly yells down to the crowd below. "Hey! My neighbour is superhuman! And I know a few more at the university! Let's get them!" The crowd cheers and forces their way into the building as thousands more presumably head towards the university. Many people watching the violence join them, all with the same demented, insane look etched into their faces. Borus backs away from the window. "This looks VERY bad..." Andrew, now ducking down in his seat, tries to maintain his cool look. "Just keep down and don't attract any attention. They won't notice." "SUPERHUMANS! I heard you talking earlier!" an old lady suddenly yells inside the coffee shop. She is pointing at the group. Some of the protestors who entered to get some coffee immediately turn to face the team, about 7 in all. All of them are holding their signs in a rather threatening way as they carefully approach the team. The other patrons quickly make for the exits or hide under their tables. Borus begins to crack his knuckles. "VERY bad..."

"Now, that's not very polite, is it?" Borus chuckles as he lifts the man off the floor, shakes him a bit, then tosses him aside. He scrambles to his feet and runs away. The second protestor whacks Borus in the back with his sign, but Borus merely turns around, grabs his head, and smacks him against the ground. Upon returning to his feet, the protestor groans then limps out of the shop "That ought to wake them up," Borus says with another chuckle. He then turns to Koto.

COFFEE SHOP-->>MAIN STREET: ======================= It seems like a good idea, so the team follows Koto and Borus outside. Just as they do so, a younger woman bursts out of the front door the mob entered earlier to get that superhuman neighbour. The aforementioned mob, which turns out to be around 30 people follow. The young woman trips and falls, and the mob moves in on her and begins beating her fallen form with their signs. As the team watches, the young woman is seen carefully sneaking away around the side of the building. The skill required to do something like that must be incredible, so the team naturally assumes this is the superhuman in question. Someone in the mob spots her and points her out. She yelps, then helplessly cringes away from the mob. "Help! Help me! They're going to kill me!" she screams. Borus bangs his clenched fists together. "We can't allow that, can we? Let's help her!"

MAIN STREET: ==========
Lucas gets as close to the woman in distress as possible before creating his wall of ice between her and the crowd. The wall quickly builds up, but it's thin and flimsy. The crowd is still surprised enough by the sudden appearance of the wall to stare at it in awe. The superhuman too. This gives Lucas more time to build up some extra strength for the wall as he doubles its thickness. It could still be knocked over though.
The crowd looks in Lucas' direction. Upon spotting him, they let out a collective roar and begin to charge in his direction. Max and Borus respond by finding a couple cars (the cars in the street have been abandoned) and flipping them over. Max manages to make his car roll a couple times. This stops the crowd dead in its tracks as Koto creates a terrible shrieking noise over the crowd's head. They grab their ears as a large number of the crowd begins to break up and scatter.
Janus runs over to the superhuman and says his piece.
The woman smiles and gives Janus a hug. "Oh, thank you! Thanks a lot! I can't trick people forever. Wait, there's a meeting place down the street where all of my friends go. We're a superhuman support group, but we've kind of been flaunting it. Looks like it was a bad move. Just head down the street until you hit the intersection and turn left. You can't miss it. It's under a hardware store. Please go! That mob will definitely find them!"
Seven of the protestors remain. They decide to endure Koto's earsplitting shriek and begin to make their way towards the team.
"Look alive!" Borus shouts. Last Edit: Jul 25, 2006 at 2:53pm by TG Barighm keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

When Borus catches up he tells him whats up. "We have a situation on our hands. There is a superhero support group down the street and around the corner. They could be in trouble."

The woman nods to Janus, then runs off.
The remaining protestors prove to be very easy to take down. As they approach, Borus and Max roll their respective cars over again, this time so that they almost land on the protestors' toes. Koto then makes them dance by firing her rays near their feet. A few of the protestors jump away from the rays. The effect manages to scare off another 3 protestors, but the rest endure the repeated harassment and eventually charge the team. Borus and Max are the target of their rage, but the two superheroes don't so much as blink as the blows rain down on them. Max simply reaches out, grabs the two attacking him, and tosses them aside like a discarded candy bar wrappter. Upon recovering, the two protestors simply limp away.
Borus can't toss his gnats aside as easily as Max can, so he's forced to use his small repoirtoire of karate to knock out one protestor then disable the second. Soon the street is clear of all protestors.

Upon rejoining Janus, Borus looks around.
"That woman ran off already? Oh, and Frank left, remember? So, what do we do? Go after Terry or check up on this superhuman support group?"
Andrew laughs. "Isn't it obvious? Get the enemy. Beat them and everything else takes care of itself. This riot isn't really our fault anyway."

The scanner is firmly secured in place in the police car, but it still blares all sorts of reports.
"All units! The protest has become violent! Report to the university at once!"
"This is car 112. I'm no where near the university and there's looting going on here. I need back up."
"Car 66. A mob is beating up random strangers over here. I need back up."
"Does everyone need back up? Okay, call the fire department. Let's try to keep to take care of this without calling in the army."
"Car 89, I've got a few hundred people burning cars on the north side. I need back up."
"Shall we call this in as a city wide riot?"
"It sure looks that way. How did a protest turn into such a huge riot?"
"Don't know, don't care. Just try to help people in any way you can."
"Officer down on Central! I need an ambulance right away!"
Borus shakes his head. "Looks like the whole city is in an uproar. Curse that Julia! Next time we see her, I'm going to crush her throat!"
Andrew rolls his eyes. "Whatever. Are you going to grab the scanner or what?"
"I could pull it out, but I'll bet its powered by the car battery. It will just die when I do. Let's just get going. We'll have to depend on ourselves."
The team leaves the police car and heads for the superhuman support group. When they reach the indicated intersection, Borus stops.
"Drat. I should have searched the car for a bulletproof vest or something. Oh, well. Next car."
The team eventually reaches a section of the street full of abandoned cars. They spot the hardware store in question, and it is, indeed, being visited by about a hundred or so rioters. Rocks are thrown at the lower section's windows to the chant of "Come out! Come out!". Eventually a couple people oblige: a tall, fairly young black man that appears to be wearing boxing gear and a pair of jeans and a woman in a tank top. Both give the crowd a mocking smile, then approach them.
The rioters seem to be a little shocked by the bravery of the couple, but they eventually begin to approach in a threatening manner.
The woman laughs. "You know this is a superhuman haven, and yet you approach us? How dare you!"
The black man cracks his knuckles. "You don't know who you're dealing with, do you? Idiots. Well, they want to see what we can do, so let's show them."
That's enough to piss off the crowd. They charge the two superhumans, but the two immediately respond by using their superhuman skills. The woman charges into the front of the crowd at lightning speed and knocks a clump of the people into the air. As soon as they reach the apex of their pop up, she creates a pillar of ice and freezes them in place. The rioters squirm and wriggle as they sit helplessly atop their frozen thrones. The black man leaps high into the air and lands directly head first on the nearest rioter. He uses this falling momentum to deal a crushing headbutt that immediately fells his target, then he throws himself to the next rioter and delivers another headbutt. The man never touches the ground as he springs from rioter to rioter dealing headbutts over and over again.
By the time the team gets close enough to get a good idea what's going on, a third of the rioters are frozen in the air while the other third are lying around with black eyes and bloody scalps. The rest flee the scene.
As the team approaches, the couple turn to face them. The woman frowns.
"What's this? More rioters? You looking to take us down too?"
Borus waves his hands in defense. "Oh, no! We're superhumans. We were sent here by a young lady to rescue your group, but it appears you two didn't need any help. That was pretty impressive stuff."
The woman smiles. "Thanks. We try our best. Me and my boyfriend here strongly believe in using our powers to the fullest. Oh, and don't worry about the rest. They snuck out the back awhile ago. They should be safe."
"Is there anyone else you know who needs help?"
"Yes. Most of us live within walking distance. Michael didn't show up today. He's a very brawny guy who can lift up cars and bend steel. You get the idea. Everyone in his building knows what he can do, so if he didn't show up, there's a good chance those rioters got to him. You should check on him. Just keep going down the street until you see this big, ugly building. He lives in there."
"Where are you two headed?"
"We're getting out of here. These guys are wimps, but I'd hate to be around when the army gets here."
The conversation is interrupted by a snapping sound to the right of the team. They turn to find the black boxer dropping a limb rioter to the ground. He then walks over to the nearest fallen rioter, picks him up, then snaps his neck. The rioter shivers, then falls limply to the ground.
Borus' face lights up in shock. "What the hell are you doing!?"
"Finishing them off. What the fuck does it look like I'm doing?" the man replies as he snaps the neck of another rioter.
Borus stomps the ground. "You can't just go around murdering people!"
The black boxer frowns back. "Why the hell not? They didn't have any trouble attempting to murder us. Shit like this doesn't deserve to live." He snaps another person's neck.
"You're mad! I won't let you do this!" Borus takes a threatening step towards the boxer, but the woman grabs his shoulder.
"Careful, big fella. I support everything my boyfriend does, and I'm not going to let you stop him. You guys better move along. We've actually taken the time to learn how to use our powers. You wouldn't want to cross us."
"You think that's going to stop me?" Borus shouts back. Dremmy Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

But I learned killing them wouldn't solve anything, just like killing these people won't solve anything. You'll just make the rest of the "normals" want to kill you more. Besides, I have a feeling this protest wouldn't have turned violent if Julia and Terry hadn't interfered."
Koto rushes along before either of the two can interupt her. "Julia has the power to project thoughts into the minds of individuals. It's very likely she's enraged the crowd with her power. Terry attacked them to make them even madder. I don't know why they are so intent on riling the public up so, but we have to stop them, while sparing the normals."

Looks like the team's Diplomacy worked.
The boxer kicks a body aside. "Come on, these guys are losers. Let's just leave them to deal with these pieces of shit they love so much."
The girl nods and the two turn around and walk away. Or at least, they try to. Borus grabs the shoulder of the boxer.
"You can't just leave and expect everything to be okay, do you? You have to pay for these deaths! You deserve to be in jail!"
"I ain't going to prison for them! Let go of me!" the boxer struggles free of Borus' grip. The woman turns back and gives Borus a frown.
Borus begins to ease into a martial arts stance. "I'm not letting you leave here without facing justice!"
"And I'm not going to face 'their' justice. If you're looking for trouble, you got it!" the boxer yells as he leaps high into the air and attempts to slam into Borus' head.
Andrew sighs. "As usual, we're wasting precious time. I'll be over there if anyone needs a doctor. Come on, Pam. Let's get out of their way."

Borus puts his dukes down in response to Janus' shout, and the boxer allows himself to land on the ground without dealing any kind of attack.
Borus growls, but he doesn't put up anymore resistence. He just glares at the boxer, who glares back.
"Later, big man," the boxer adds with a chuckle. "Your boyfriend is calling for you."
The couple depart, and Borus rounds on Janus.
"What the hell are you doing!? You can't just let him go like that! I thought we're supposed to be superHEROES! There's nothing superheroic about ANYTHING we've ever done. Here's our one chance to do something right and you..."
Borus suddenly stops himself. He balls his fists, blinks, then kicks the ground. "Sorry. I know that's not true. Just...forget it."
"So, are you going to put an end to this by finding this Terry character, or shall we rescue another so-called 'helpless' victim in need?" Andrew asks in a sarcastic tone. Pam glares at his back. Last Edit: Jul 29, 2006 at 3:35am by TG Barighm Max Deltree Veteran Raider ***

Andrew rolls his eyes. "I'm just a good little slave, aren't I? Fine, I'll heal these rats."
Andrew and Koto go about healing people while Borus smashes the ice pillars supporting some of the rioters. The few he does rescue shout curses at him before running off, so Borus quickly gives up on freeing them and leaves the rest to wait for the ice to melt.
"Ungrateful...!" Borus mutters.
Max looks angry about something. He just stands in one spot.
The team can hear people yelling in the distance. Andrew finishes healing the last person downed by the boxer, then returns to the team.
"Okay, that's the last of the wounded healed. The rest are fine, they just need to regain their bearings. We better get out of here before more rioters arrive."
Borus nods. "Okay, so now we'll go after Terry. But where is he? We saw him run down that alley, but he could have gone anywhere by now."
Pam crosses her arms. "The way that twisted bitch Julia works, she'll probably tell Terry to come to us the moment we think about going after him."
Borus shakes his head. "I don't think so. I doubt she would send Terry to face us on our terms. She'll probably give us directions to him. I bet they're planning an ambush."

Andrew sighs. "Oh, for the love of...! Bah. What use is there for a surgeon that doesn't do his job when needed? I'm not about to be considered a bad doctor over this."
Koto catches up with Borus, and soon the rest of the team follows as they assume a new mission to rescue yet another civilian. They follow the given directions to the indicated ugly building. There they witness yet another superhuman assailed by a rioting mob, except the mob, some 300 people or so, seem a little hesitant to approach him. Michael is a rather large, buff man with huge muscles and a sporting hair-style. His strength matches his actions as he tears a lamp post free of the concrete side walk and threateningly swings it at the approaching mob. A couple of overturned cars stand near him and appear to be a part of his deterrence tactic.
A couple police cruisers stand on their sides just a bit off the road. Looks like the police tried their best to stop the riot here, but failed.
Some of the rioters begin tossing molotov cocktails at the superhuman as he backs up into a building. He tries his best knock the burning bottles away but some land near him and set his pants ablaze. He is forced to strip and battle the mob in his underwear and a white T-shirt.
He spots the team as they round the corner. "Oh, good God, please let that be your aid! I can't hold out any longer without striking them down, and I refuse to die a murderer. I'd rather be the one murdered."
"Looks like he's in some real trouble. We better help out," Borus quickly says as he begins to charge towards the mob.

The team begins to charge, but Max's flight allows him to get ahead of everyone. He swoops down on the superhuman, grabs him, then lifts him to safety on top of the ugly brown building. At this height, nobody can throw anything at them.
"Oh, thank you! My prayers were answered!" Michael grabs Max's hand and shakes vigorously. His grip hurts. A lot.
Max pulls his hand free and nods, then looks down to the mob below.
With the object of their rage removed, the mob turns to face the rest of the team who had just begun to charge them. The team now looks up at Max, but look down again just as someone points at them.
"Superhumans! Get them!"
"Oh, for the love of...! Now they're after us!" Borus groans.
Pam shrugs. "At least you don't have to worry about that guy anymore."

Michael shakes his head. "Forgive me, but I do not wish to risk injuring anyone. I'll cower up here like the coward I am, but please, save your friends."
Meanwhile, Koto slams the ground with an ear-splitting shriek. It's not damaging, but it does force a lot of the mob to cover their ears. Many of the rioters closest to Koto turn and flee, but those protected from the shriek only use her attack as a reason to charge the team. Janus responds by firing lancing bolts of lightning above their heads. Many in the crowd stop to look up at the display, but many more continue forward.
Borus, in the meantime, grabs a nearby trash can and tosses it at the mob. It slams just short of the rioters. He follows it up with a newspaper vendor, which also just slams short. This halts a majority of the crowd as they begin to hesitate to attack, but a number of people shout encouragements.
"Now! Drive them off before they regain their backbone!" Borus shouts. He charges into the main line of the crowd and begins to knock people out left and right. Max, who is never one to miss out on a good fight, swoops down, grabs people, then flings them around like ragdolls, but never far enough to seriously injure them. Just enough to jar them. Enrique creates a flamethrower-like charge from his hands and begins to approach the mob while Lucas blows cold air at them.
It's too much for the rioters. They eventually break apart and scatter, but none towards the rest of the team. They go in the opposite direction.
EXP: 300 (400 for the Lv.7's. For the last exp. reward too).
Michael waves from atop the building. "Oh, thank you! I better get out of here."
Borus waves back. "No problem! Is there anyone else you know who could use some help?"
Michael nods. "Yes! Down the street! I know the guy is a superhuman, but he has...issues. Just be careful when approaching him. You may even need to knock him out."
"Oh? What kind of powers does he have?"
"He gives people headaches!"
Borus glances at the team with an amused look. "That doesn't sound so bad." He looks back up at Michael. "No sweat! We can handle him if we have to!"
"Thanks a lot!" Michael shouts one last time before disappearing from the edge of the building.
"Okay, let's go!" Borus doesn't give the team time to deliberate. He simply begins running up the street. The rest of the team has no choice but to follow, but it's Borus so they don't mind so much.
They eventually reach a series of apartments running along the road. There they spot a pile of bodies strewn about. All rioters. None of the abandoned cars have been touched, and there appears to have been no looting, nor are there any police cars present.
The team looks around the area for a minute, but they don't immediately spot the source of power that defeated this mob. They don't have to. A man in a brown, Charlie Brown-like wool shirt and brown jeans eventually limps onto the scene from within one of the houses. He's very unkept, his hair long and disheveled, and an empty chip bag hangs out of his pant pocket.
The unkept man slowly limps his way towards the team. "They...they attacked me. I had no choice. They wanted me...I...I had no choice. I had to. I couldn't let them get me."
Borus raises his hands in a calming motion. "It's okay. You're fine now. Just come with us. We'll protect you."
The unkept man suddenly raises his hands in defense and cringes away from Borus. "NO! You can't come near me! Nobody can! You will not take me away! Never! Don't even think about it!"
"Look, nobody wants to take you away..."
"Lier! That's what they all said! All liers! You're all so fake! You deserve to be punished!"
Borus takes a step away from the man. "This guy is off his rocker. Maybe someone else should try to calm him down, although it looks like we're in for a bit of hurt." Dremmy Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

Diplomacy doesn't work this time.
"Liers! HEADSPLITTER!" the unkept man shouts at the top of his lungs before lowering his head and charging Borus like a bull.
Borus is a little stunned to see the man act so aggressively, but he doesn't make much effort to avoid the attack. He simply holds his hands out like he's about to catch a football and calmly grabs the man when he slams into him.
But that proves to be a serious mistake. Upon striking Borus a massive gong suddenly goes off in everyone's head. Their skulls ringing from the shock, every team member stumbles around unbalanced in their attempt to shake off the effect. Not even the toughest members, like Max and Borus, can escape the head-splitting bells ringing in their heads. A few members even become stunned and fall helplessly to their knees.
The unkept man doesn't slow down. He lowers his head for another charge.
"I think I get the headsplitter thing now," Borus says while rubbing his head. "All right, we have to bring this guy down. No need to kill him though."
STATUS LINE: ============================================= Borus: -10 HP, Dizzy Max: -10 HP, Dazed Koto: -10 HP, Dizzy Janus: -10 HP, Dizzy Enrique: -10 HP, Dazed Lucas: -10 HP, Dazed Rachel: -10 HP, Dazed Last Edit: Aug 8, 2006 at 2:38pm by TG Barighm keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

WEST CENTRAL: ==============
Dizzy and somewhat off-balance, Koto attempts to fire a ray at the man's legs, but her ray is thrown off to far. She instead blasts a hole into the ground.
Lucas tries to move, but his body doesn't respond.
Max wonders why he feels like he's got a hangover.
The man charges Borus again, but this time Borus quickly steps out of the way. The man ends up bashing his skull into a nearby car, but it doesn't seem to bother him in any way.
Janus tries to use this time to fire off a solid lightning ray, but his shot is way off. He blows out a window instead.
Everyone who is dazed shakes off their headaches just as Borus runs over and delivers a crushing bear punch. It's a solid shot, and the man is sent reeling (-28 HP). He quickly recovers though and lower his head again.
"Don't give him another chance! Take him down!" Borus shouts.

Max notices Koto is preparing something, so he sticks with eye beams for dealing with the crazy man. Despite his dizziness, he manages to burn the back of the man's head (12 HP; 40). The man shrieks and angrily spins around to face Max. The superhero immediately response by lifting off the ground. Again Lucas tries to freeze the man in place, but his aim is way off. The unkept man shouts something unintelligible in Max's direction, then settles on banging his head against a nearby car. He then spins around and tries to headbutt him again. While his hit barely fazes Borus, the headsplitting effect does. Borus firmly grits his teeth, but him, and most of the team, manages to resist it for the most part. Only Janus finds himself reeling. Rachel contributes with a decent blast (4), Enrique charges in and karate chop's the guy, and Koto's carefully crafted cone just misses Enrique and sends the man clear off his feet. EXP: 1700, Lv.7's 2100, Cohorts 1270 Borus checks the pulse of the unkept man. Andrew, who had kept well out of the fight, bends down to take a look. "Is he alive?" Andrew asks. Borus nods. "Barely. You need to work quick doc." "He's a nut, but I like a challenge," Andrew replies with a nod. Koto heals the rest of the team while Andrew looks after the crazy man. While the team rests and recovers, an east Indian man approaches the team. Nobody thinks much of it until he starts clapping. "Bravo! I wouldn't exactly consider him a major challenge for this team, but he alone could fell many lesser ones," the east Indian man continues clapping. He has no accent. He adjusts his red baseball cap and thread-bare brown jacket and continues over to the team. He's quite scrawny looking, so Borus makes no move to intercept him. "What the hell do you want? Can't you see we're busy?" Borus grumbles. "Look, I'm not normally this rude, but we're just not in the mood right now. If you need help, seek out the police. We gotta get moving as soon as we're done here." "Oh, you're busy, are you? That's good, because I have business with you," the man says with a simple, but polite smile. Doesn't seem devious in the slightest. "My name is Alex. I serve as Lance's messenger." At the mention of the name "Lance", Borus immediately turns away from the crazy man and goes on the defensive. "What? What are you scheming?" Alex shakes his head. "Oh, sorry. I did not mean to imply THAT kind of business...well, unless we reach some kind of impasse, but I highly doubt that." "Spill it. We're not interested in dealing with you, unless you have information for us?" Alex shakes his head. "I know. You want Terry. I'm sorry to say this, but he has already departed. Left as soon as it became clear you weren't going to immediately follow him. He wasn't supposed to wait at all, but he was hoping you'd 'force' him to defend himself. He's not stupid enough to go against Lance's orders for too long though, so he stopped waiting." Borus growls. "You could be lying for all we know." Alex chuckles. "Oh, I'm not lying. If Terry really wanted you, and wasn't under orders, he'd come for you. You should already know that by now. But let's change the subject, shall we? I'm not here for Terry. I'm here for you guys." Borus raises his fists. "Are you looking for a piece of us too?" "Damned barbarians," Andrew grumbles. "Shut up," Pam says with a punch to Andrew's shoulder. Alex shakes his head. "Hardly. It's come to my attention that some of you aren't too happy with your present predicament, so I've discussed it with Lance and he's decided that now would be a good time for him to offer you a chance to join him again." Borus laughs. "You're just as crazy as this guy! Nobody here is interested in joining that terrorist! ...wait. How would you...? No, Julia...!" Borus spins around to face the rest of the team. "He's lying, right? Tell me he's lying! None of you are planning on leaving us, right? Right?" "Finally, some drama," Andrew says with a chuckle. keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard ***** keno Avatar Fear!

"Brace yourself!" As instructed, everyone prepares for whatever Alex plans to throw at them, but instead of a barrage of energy, super strength, or anything else the team has come to expect, Alex simply disappears. Everyone blinks at first, then scratch their heads. Janus' eyes suddenly widen as he spins around (WIS). As he suspected, Alex is now standing behind the team and is using an abandoned car as cover. He makes a strange gesture, and... If the team thought Headsplitter's attacks were bad, this is far, FAR worse. Forget a gong, this sounds more like a hurricane blowing millions of shrieking people around as they bounce off every corner fo the team's skulls all at once. The effect is staggering, and many team members are forced onto their knees. "You can see what I saw in this guy now," Alex chuckles as he glances at the unconscious Headsplitter. Borus doesn't find the situation funny at all. He charges the chuckling villain and rams into the car he's using as cover. While Borus' attempt was an admireable one, he doesn't succeed in flipping the car over, although it does manage to get it about halfway over. Alex jumps back in response, and his expression changes to a much more serious one. Enrique doesn't spin around to see what's going on. All he knows is his body won't respond anymore. He simply falls flat on his face. Rachel grits her teeth during the attack, but she manages to shake off any lingering effects. She watches Borus ram the car rather close to her, so she backs up as far as she's able to before firing off a ray of force. Alex, who must have assumed she was harmless after his attack, doesn't even bother to dodge the ray and gets nailed dead in the side of the head (-17 hp). He staggers off to his right and groans. As for Lucas...all he knows is the mafia has come for him, and he has to get out of here as quickly as possible. He sees the building ahead of him and runs through the doors at a deadrun. Koto joins Enrique on the ground. Janus is there wide run Alex somewhere is he right left moving where? I don't know things spinning jumbled mess brain hurting pain OH MY GOD! dying falling things crazy Lucas running cars riot LIGHTING BOLT!! Janus unleashes a cone of lighting onto the sidewalk where Alex was standing. Plants and trees lining the street are completely fried, and numerous char marks now decorate the building. Janus then begins to run as hard as he can, but ends up running face-first into a parked car. He slams into it rather hard, and then falls on the ground. "This looks bad," Andrew mutters. Pam punches Andrew's arm. "Then help them!" Andrew glares at Pam while rubbing his arm. "Why don't you?" "I just might," Pam grumbles as she crosses her arms and looks away from Andrew.

Borus leaps onto the car and runs across it. Once he's done that, he lunges for Alex with his arms stretched out, but the supervillain easily steps aside and avoids the attack. Lucas continues running like a panzy. Rachel, now frightened by this genuinely scary man, struggles to keep herself together as she keeps up the offence, but now Alex has cover against her, and Borus has moved into melee ranged. She fires off one random-seeming energy ray before ducking behind the car to her right for cover. That just leaves Janus, who rises to his feet again and immediately vomits. He then stares at his vomit and decides the best thing he can do right now is determine what each partially digested chunk of food is. The feeling in her limbs begins to return, and Koto clumsily returns to her feet.

And now for a change of pace. Alex continues to shock the minds of the team, but it doesn't affect everyone. This time it only affects Borus, Koto, and Enrique. Unfortunately, two of those people are incredibly important for ultimate victory, and now both have succumbed to the ravages of Alex's mind shock. Borus slumps to the ground, and Koto suddenly finds Alex to be undefeatable and immediately turns and runs for her life as quickly as she is able. Up the street, to be exact.
Lucas finds hiding to be a most reasonable option while Janus begins to look up and count clouds. One looks like a cat. He also scores a critical Spot check for finding a cloud that looks like a peanut. Good job, Janus.
This prevents the team from acting this turn, but at least Janus finds the cotten has disappeared from his mind and is no longer confused.
Alex begins to shake his head. "Is this it? Is this all you've got? I can't see why Lance cares so much about what you guys do if this is all you've got."

Alex begins to shake his head. "Is this it? Is this all you've got? I can't see why Lance cares so much about what you guys do if this is all you've got."
Janus looks up slightly and says, "Why dont you ask him yourself? Why would he send someone to fight a team of people who's very intent and purpose is to save others? He doesnt fear our power! He doesnt fear our numbers! We are a threat to him because we give a damn! He already knows what we are capable of! So why are we in the middle of the street fighting as if we are in a video game?" Janus takes a few more deep breaths and continues. "You testing us will get you nowhere. Lance has all the answers he needs. So why continue this fight? Unless you intend on killing all of us, I suggest we end this and walk away. We have people to save. They are not going to die while im here because some asshole is 'curious' about us."

Alex chuckles. "You have so many questions. You don't spend enough time looking for the answers on your own...fine. I got what I came here for. I know everything Lance needs to know. So, go ahead and save these useless insects so hell-bent on destroying you. When they finally capture you, I hope you realize the error you've made. Good bye, traitors."
And with that, Alex teleports out of sight. He is gone.
Koto, upon recovering from her panic, immediately heals the team of all physical wounds, but the mental scars remain.
Borus punches the ground. "Why did you let him go? We could have gotten some important information out of him. All you had to do was give me a little more time. We would have gotten him."
Andrew laughs as he mends a wound. "Stupidly optimistic, aren't you? I don't see how you would have gotten him. He clearly outclassed all of you. Now, if you guys are finished screwing around, how about we worry about our own hides, hm?"
Pam shakes her head, then sighs. "I don't agree with Andrew on anything, but...this is starting to become too much for us. We should help whoever we can, but we should start getting out of the city. The military will arrive soon, or worse...ASH."
"Oh yeah? And go where?" Borus asks as he watches his own wounds heal.
"What about the Shameless Fortune? We're not too far away. We could get there on foot," Andrew replies as he stows away his first aid kit. The team is glad he had the presence of mind to grab that from the car before they left the coffee shop.
"Martinez won't welcome us back."
Andrew scoffs. "Screw Martinez! We'll take the ship if we have to."

Terry never did like dealing with weirdos, but he always did like his chances when the weirdo in question made him feel uneasy. If it made him feel uneasy, imagine what other people will think!
The tall, cloaked figure, who always seems to be masked in shadow even in full sunlight, rubs his chin as he considers Terry's offer.
"Hmm...I don't see what this has to do with me, nor do I immediately care for your boss' offer. I do just fine on my own," the dark stranger responds in a deep voice. "I do like a good challenge, but not against worthless worms such as the ones you describe."
Terry just avoids sighing. He is rarely unsettled, but this guy really is something. He decides to keep it cool. "Look, we gotta get out of here. ASH is coming and we want them gone for good. Can you handle it, or can't you?"
The dark stranger growls. "Watch how you talk to me, boy. The abyss yearns for all." He begins to rub his chin again. "ASH, eh? I would like a piece of them. If I make myself known to these...worms, you think ASH will find me?"
Terry shrugs. "Whatever. If you're flashy enough maybe. I don't know. They have their own way of sniffing us superhumans out. Just make sure you take care of them, okay?"
The dark stranger laughs. "I care not for you or your boss, but a chance to deal with ASH once and for all is an opportunity I'd hate to pass up. ASH is also on the trail of these worms, eh? Well then, I better be there to intercept them. Tell me where they are and I'll go."
Terry lets a relieved sigh escape. Whoops. He didn't mean to do that. "Okay, get going then. ASH is close."

WEST CENTRAL: ============
Without any objection, the team decides to go along with Janus. They just came from the casino ship so it's not very difficult to retrace their steps, but doing so on foot, of course, is a much longer endeavour.
After running down the block for a few minutes they come across a portable radio lying on the ground. A bunch of lawn chairs lay all around it, and some cans of beer are strewn near a step leading into a house.
"Hey, a cooler!" Andrew excitedly shouts as he digs out a blue cooler out from under the step. As expected, there's still some beer in it. "Anyone want some?"
"Sure. It may help my nerves," Borus replies as he grabs a beer. Pam also accepts.
The radio is on and has begun blaring the news.
"This is traffic reporter Kelly reporting on the riot that has infected the downtown area. It has begun to spread to outlying areas of the city and shows no sign of slowing down. I think I see fires burning around the university now. There is also some looting going on in the downtown core. This is so terrible. The police and fire department have been dispatched to deal with the riot, but there are just too many affected areas. No word yet on the military option. Once again, we remind you to stay inside and out of sight of the rioters. If you're a superhuman, and especially one with a reputation, please do your best to hide, or find a police officer if you're on the street. The police remind all superhumans that lashing out at rioters is considered murder. Don't use your abilities unless you absolutely have to.
Looks like a group of rioters have met up with a police barrier in the downtown core. I see fighting...the fire engine seems to be abandoned. I don't know where the firefighters are. I see a lot of commotion on Market street, but I'm not sure if that's the riot. The pier still seems quiet.
...I've just received word that the military has, indeed, begun to mobilize, and they have already sent in a special taskforce to deal with any rowdy superhumans. Some have taken matters into their own hands so far and have been dealt with accordingly. They will arrive via Main street and the train station. More as the story develops."
Borus shakes his head. "Crap. Three different ways to the pier, and all have something wrong with them. Going downtown will keep us away from other troublemaking superhumans, but then we'll have to deal with the police. Market street is the fastest way to the pier, but unknown commotion sounds even worse to me. Then there is the military on Main street. Can probably avoid this whole fuss if we can follow the train tracks to the pier, but I'll bet a second beer that this special 'taskforce' is ASH. Any other direction risks a long, problematic detour."
Andrew laughs. "Isn't it obvious? Go downtown. A bunch of rioters and police can't stand against you guys. So what if there will be fighting? They'll go down easy."
Pam groans. "Oh, what the hell is wrong with you? Weren't you listening? 'Commotion' on Market street. Not military. Not riot. COMMOTION. And it's the fastest way to the pier. Fast and a bunch of upset patrons sounds great to me.
Borus shrugs. "I don't know, but to me, the best option may be Main street and the train station. I know, this may sound crazy, but if ASH is coming for us, the last thing they'll expect is for us to go right to them. And I highly doubt there will be anyone on those train tracks, except maybe trains. We might be able to get by everyone without them ever knowing we were there, and the tracks go right to the pier. Fast isn't fast if there's something in your way."
Which way?

Market street wins out. Soon the team is on the move again. They move down a block, take a left, then continue on. Market street isn't much further.
Along the way they see the aftermath of the rioters. They see overturned cars, burning garbage cans, piles of litter, and many smashed windows and kicked in doors. Every now and again they will see a person attempting to duck out of sight upon their arrival or just wandering around examining the destruction. Sometimes they will see a police officer trying to give first aid to a wounded victim or listening to a screaming woman shouting something about "those damned kids", but for the most part, the streets are quiet.
Evidence of where superhumans were forced to defend themselves is even fewer and far between, but it's very obvious when they do see it. In one place a bunch of cars had smashed through a building's wall and sat in the apartment...on the 3rd floor. In another area the team finds broken pieces of ice, then in another they find heaps of bodies. All of them are rioters, but they don't exhibit any gunshot wounds.
Borus shivers, then looks at the sky. "Damn it. Middle of frickin winter and it's as warm as a late spring day. Why couldn't it be colder? Maybe that would have stopped this shit. Sometimes I wonder about the true big man."
They eventually reach Market street, but they decide to pass through an alley. This would allow them to bypass half of Market street and whatever commotion it may have. As they reach a couple of dumpsters, the team suddenly stops.
Pam pokes Borus. "Why are we stopping?"
Borus motions at the rest of the alley in front of them. "Someone is here."
As if on cue, a great big blot of pure darkness suddenly fills the street ahead of the team. Out of the darkness steps a very tall man draped entirely in dark clothes, a hat, and an overcoat. Everything hides his face in shadow, and even light oddly bends its way around him to give the impression his entire form really is nothing more than a shadow. It's a strain just to keep him in focus.
The shadowy figure takes a couple steps towards the team. "Hello," is all he says. He raises the flat of his palm towards the team. "And...goodbye."
"What the hell...?" is all Borus gets out before raising his dukes for a fight. keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard *****

Enrique will Dodge any of the dark stranger's attacks, and create a flaming spike emanating from his hand.
"Yo, it's been a very long day, and I'm feeling kinda pissed. Don't push me."
With that, he will fight defensively at first, to see what the stranger will do. New and improved!

Andrew steps off to the side. "I'll just go stand over there, okay?"
The strange, shadowy man allows the blot of darkness behind him to dissipate, but he creates a new, much larger blot that enshrouds most of the alley. Everything is enveloped in darkness, and due to the sudden change in light nobody can see.
Rachel steps off to the side and fires a ray of force into the darkness, but if she hit the strange man she can't tell. Koto readies an explosive blast.
Enrique creates a spike of fire from his hand, then begins to wait for the impending attack.
Janus tries firing a cone of lightning into the darkness, but again, he's not sure if he even managed to strike the stranger.
Lucas ports to the side and into a pile of garbage before firing off a cone of frost. Again, he's not sure if he even hit the guy.
Borus, being one of the frontliners, is completely enveloped in the darkness. Nobody can see what he does.
Koto lets loose her explosive line of sonic energy. She hears a loud crunching sound.
MAP:
*Note the area of the shadow radiates much farther out than that, I just left it a little short so you can see the alley. The black squares are dumpsters, the collection of little dots a pile of garbage bags, and the bigger circles trash cans. The shadow actually took in the whole team and all of the area with the trash. If you're curious, the stranger started at the 12'o'clock position of the shadow.

Borus yelps, and the team turns to face the sound. Koto decides not to stick around, and her and her cohort backtrack out of the sphere of darkness. Enrique creats his little column of fire directly in front of him, but the light of the fire doesn't touch the darkness at all. Janus begins to defend.

Borus, Janus, and Enrique are on the receiving end this time around, and all three stumble in pain (-19 HP). "Damn it! We gotta find this bastard!" Borus shouts. Koto tries something with her powers, but sound is not enough to affect the sphere of darkness. Enrique curses and decides to bathe the alley ahead of him with fire. Unfortunately, the only person he hears scream is Janus (-13 HP). Lucas slowly follows the wall. He feels his way past the trash, the sharp jut of the wall, then follows it back the way the team came. He ends up near Koto, but not exactly out of the sphere of darkness. Janus groans.

If you can get out of the field, there is no telling how long it will last." Janus tries his best to get his bearings and move out of the field, using Plasma Ball (im assuming that is a personal area attack) after he is confident that Borus is out of the way.

Cylinders are width and height, but lines are also length and width. Cylinders also aren't really spread effects (they're a rising or falling effect), but then, widen area applies to all "spread" like area effects, and cylinders are area effects, if not necessarily a spread effect. It's more of a targeted blast that affects an area. For now, I'm just gonna allow Widen to apply to cylinders, but if anyone knows if there is some kind of discussion on this anywhere on the web I'd appreciate a link to it.

Lucas creates his rising tower of pure frost energy, but he underestimates the size of the effect and ends up filling the entire central portion of the alleyway, ie. the whole dark sphere, in this cold energy. Thankfully, it's not wide enough to hit the team, but if the stranger is still in the sphere, there is no way he could have avoided that.
After a bit of healing and random energy rays from Rachel, Janus takes the time to listen out any devices that may be within the sphere. The idea bears fruit as somebody wearing a digital watch, at least a watch as far as Janus is concerned, is hiding out on the north end of the sphere, roughly the 12'o'clock position on the map.
Koto and Rachel take Janus' hands.
Janus begins to walk into the sphere. He immediately launches a bolt of lightning that cuts through the frosted air and rips across the alley towards the digital watch. There is a yelp, and the digital watch is destroyed.

Janus gives his orders, the party organizes and then...
...all hell breaks loose. Line after line, cone after cone, and whatever of frost, lightning, fire, and sonic energy fill the alley at Janus' designated spot. It's a rather awesome sight as various energy forms enter the sphere of darkness and are completely enveloped, and soon a monstrous crushing sound fills the air. Dust is kicked up all over the place and numerous team members are forced to cough.
When the dust finally settles, the sphere of darkness, for whatever reason, has finally disappeared. Sunlight bathes an alley filled with rubble as the base of the building near the trash cans managed to receive its fair share of damage and has since collapsed. The team can clearly see into the building's offices and bathrooms for three floors, but thankfully the building appears to be devoid of its workforce.
The other building across the alley is covered in scorch marks, but appears relatively undamaged.
Borus rubs his hands. "If that didn't get him, I have no idea what will."
"That's good for me then, isn't it?" the same deep voice replies as the darkly dressed man steps out from behind one of the dumpsters. He waves his hand, and once again, the team is enveloped in pure darkness.
Borus groans. "Crap."

SUPERHERO CHALLENGE BATTLE: Regroup round 3
Janus suggests the team step out of the sphere. A few of them do so, Koto healing Janus before actually departing from the sphere. Rachel gladly leaves the sphere.
"No way. I'm not going to leave you in here alone. I'll stay by your side and protect you from this guy even if I can't see anything," Borus voice calls from the darkness. Looks like he moved deeper into the alley.
Lucas doesn't say anything. There is a sound of cold air rushing into the alley again as he lets loose another cone of cold. There is another yelp from the darkness.
Someone growls.
Janus suddenly feels another sharp pain in his back, but it's not as bad as the previous pains. Still, it's clear the stranger seems to be getting pissed off at the team.
"What? What was that? Where is he?" Borus yells.
Outside of the sphere of darkness, Enrique begins to search for a ladder of some sort. He does spot a fire escape on the left building, but the pull-down ladder for it is on the other side of the sphere.

There is another yelp and the sphere of darkness dissipates again. "Gah! I don't have any more time to waste on you!" the deep voice yells seemingly from nowhere. EXP: 1700 exp each Everyone stands around for a minute anticipating another attack, but no attack comes. The bright sunlight continues to shine down uninterrupted, and a cold wind begins to blow. Borus shivers. "Good. I hope it gets colder. That ought to help end this riot." Andrew begins to look over some of the team's wounds. "I hope not. The cold distracts me from my work. Let's just get the hell out of here before any more whackos decide to mess with us, and I'm not talking about ASH. They're definitely not your average whacko." The team decides Andrew's idea is a perfectly decent one, so they continue through the alley to Market Street, thus bypassing a lot of the market's busier areas as they originally intended. The team continues down Market Street without much interruption. There are definitely more people running around, some examining the abandoned market stalls, some stealing the odd fruit or trinket, but for the most part it's pretty quiet. They only see a handfull of people for every block they travel, and the street seems devoid of rioters. Halfway down the street, roughly within the harbour area where most of the market stalls begin to resemble a fish market as opposed to a flea market, the team begins to run into a lot more people, most of which seem to be fleeing something. None of them seem to be interested in the team anyway, so the team has little trouble bypassing the main flow and reaching the source of the commotion (which will be described in a bit). *Tell me what any team members may have done while traveling down market street STATUS LINE: ============================================= Borus: -21 HP Rachel: Enrique: -28 HP Janus: -4 HP Lucas: -8 HP Koto: -17 HP Dremmy Kilrogg's Honor Guard ***** Dremmy Avatar I demand REVENGE!!!!

As long as you continue to act like a leader, you'll be something to the team. It's when you stop trying to be a leader to people truly lose faith in you." Borus chuckles. "Hey, will you look at that? I never thought I'd know what to say in a situation like this." "A rare moment, to be sure," Andrew adds. He playfully pokes Borus in the ribs.

"Oh crap" he mutters under his breath.
A car sails over head, and more people start screaming.
"Oh holy shitting crap!" he murmurs.
A burst of laser fire sets a market stall alight.
"Shit!" Enrique shouts, and with good reason. He runs up to the three figures, one of whom is shouting through a megaphone.
"We are the next generation! We will take no more of this white man propaganda bullshit! You will come to fear us! The world is ours now, and we're not gonna give it away!"
It seems like the Desperados finally started playing hardball.
Approaching the SUV, Enrique calls out to them.
"Hey! Raul, Alejandra, Pedro! What the FUCK are you doing!"
Noticing Enrique amid the running masses of people, Pedro jumps down, causing the ground to shake slightly.
"We ain't called that no more, homes. It's Shrapnel, Chica and El Toro, now."
Enrique sighs. These guys still don't know what they're doing. Raul, or Shrapnel as he now seems to be known, puts the megaphone down and hops down to Join Pedro.
"Yo, we weren't too happy when you ignored us, amigo. You think your shit's too hot for Los Desperados?" Suddenly, Raul grabs a throwing knife seemingly from nowhere and hurls it at Enrique. He only just manages to dodge it.
"What the fuck are you on, man?" Enrique shouts. "You realise this is exactly the kind of shit that gives us a bad name!"
Having covered the surrounding buldings and vehicles with pockmarks, 'Chica' also jumps down off the SUV.
"Boys, boys, boys," she says, shaking her head. "We shouldn't fight. El Diablo here's one of us, right?"
At this Enrique shakes his head and spits at the ground.
"I'd never join a group of terrorists who go round killing innocent people. You guys make me sick. And for that..." Enrique turns round and sends up a pillar of flame. "Borus! Janus! Get over here!" New and improved!

Enrique's fireball explodes into Pedro with enormous force, but Raul just manages to roll out of the way, although he still ends up singed (-12 hp, 6 on save).
Pedro chuckles as he wipes some burning debris off his shoulders. "What's this? A little spice? I can take the heat, but do you like your fish spicy?"
Pedro grabs one of the fish stalls close to him and heaves it at Enrique. Enrique just barely manages to dive out of the way as the stall crashes into another one like it behind him. Rachel responds by firing a glowing ray of force at Pedro, but Pedro ducks it. Alejandra, seeing Rachel get into the thick of things, responds by firing a searing beam of light from her eyes at the former waitress. The beam nails Rachel dead on, and her jacket immediately erupts in flames. She screams and begins to run around in panic.
Pedro generates a series of jagged objects from his hands, but instead of attacking he shouts out "Hey, Garrote! Give us a hand."
Enrique gives Pedro a questionning look. The vigilante responds with a mocking smile. "New guy. He's not a kingshit like you."

SUPERHERO BATTLE: ================
Rachel begins rolling on the ground to put the fire out while Koto attempts to aid her. The two manage to pull the burning jacket off Rachel and toss it aside.
Enrique fires a fireball at the SUV. Neither Alejandra or Pedro manage to dive out of the way in time, but the car absorbs most of the burning damage (-12 HP). The two villains are still singed somewhat as they leap off the car.
"Bad move," Raul yells as he whips a handfull of the razor-edged shards in Enrique's direction. They spread out to cover a surprisingly large area, but Enrique manages to avoid all of the shards by diving for cover at the last second. Alejandra decides to support Raul and fires a ray at El Diablo. This time Enrique is nailed dead-on, but the burning eyebeam is of little consequence to the fiery menace that is Enrique (-1 HP).
While Lucas ponders how best to deal the most damage without hitting anyone, Janus fires a ray of lightning at the villains. Pedro sees the lightning bolt fly at him and just manages to twist away at the last second, but Alejandra, just finishing her eyebeam attack, is shocked in full (-16 HP full).
Pedro begins searching for another massive object to toss at the team, but Borus spots him rummaging around and charges. Borus tackles Pedro, but the muscular latino merely pushes Borus away.
Koto helps Rachel to her feet, but just as Koto finishes dusting her companion off, a cold, terrible pain erupts in her left side. Rachel screams again while Koto stumbles to the side. The wound, now bleeding profusely, is revealed to be the handywork of a scrawny man wearing a black baseball cap and a heavy leather jacket. He gives Koto a toothy smile as he points his blood-ladened dagger at her.
"Even the pretty ones die at some time," says the one who must be Garrote.

*The black square by Raul and Alejandra are the SUV, but the rest are market stalls. The one with the sprays is the shattered stall heaved at Enrique. The red marks indicates doors, and there are a couple small alleys. The black circles are trash cans.

Enrique continues to rain fireballs on the SUV (more specifically, a line of fire since he doesn't have the Ranged style). Smoke begins to rise out from under the hood, but the SUV still appears unharmed.
Raul suddenly charges Enrique. Enrique readies to dodge Raul's attack, which is a slash of the shards, but just as the attack comes around, the shards burst forth towards Enrique. Enrique back-flips away from the attack, then twists around to avoid all the shards. Alejandra follows with her eyebeams, but she doesn't fire directly at Enrique. Instead, she creates a small bed of fire directly behind El Diablo.
Pedro rushes at Borus and slams him in the chest, but the big man barely budges. Pedro growls then attempts to grab Borus. The latino gets a hand on Borus' arm then begins to twist. Borus yelps as the incredibly strong superhero uses his immense strength to overcome Borus' own. He attempts to fight back, but he's not strong enough.
Raul has moved, so only Alejandra is affected by Janus' cone of lightning. Electricity crackles and snaps as it arcs its way over to the SUV. Alejandra is caught off-guard by the attack and absorbs the full brunt of it. She coughs, then falls to one knee.
"Raul! I can't take much more of this."
Koto takes a step back and begins to prepare for an explosive line of sonic power, but Garrote catches on to her intentions. He points at her...
An invisible force, like fingers with a grip harder than steel, suddenly wraps around Koto's throat and begins to squeeze. Koto struggles for air as she tries to twist free of her invisible bond. Seeing her in trouble, Rachel steps back and unleashes a line of force on Garrote before scampering closer to Janus. Garrote somehow manages to side-step the attack, but it's enough to break his concentration on Koto. The steel grip loosens, and Koto unleashes a burst of sonic energy that's accompanied by a sonic boom. The blast rips right through a market stall and the wall of the building beyond, while Garrote himself is tossed through the hole and disappears into the rising dust.
Rachel's line of force manages to reach Pam and Andrew. Both dive out of the way without suffering any ill effects.
Pam glares at Rachel. "Hey! Watch where you're shooting that thing!"
Lucas skates north, and with skating that's way north, off the map in fact. By the time he gets there, Garrote has been blasted through the building's wall.

Koto finally gets some time to tend to the bleeding wound in her side. It heals as she heals herself, and soon the bloody hole is gone. Turning back to the hole she made in the building, she searches for Garrote's crumpled form, but she doesn't see him. He could have slipped away.
At the moment Garrote is no longer attacking, so she turns back to the fight. She witnesses Rachel twist in turn as she tries to find the best viewpoint to strike Raul with a ray. She eventually fires off a ray, but the melee between Enrique and Raul is simply to fierce. Her shot is off.
Lucas keeps an eye out for Garrote.
Enrique tries to slip around Raul. The latino reaches out to grab El Diablo, but Enrique just manages to slip out of his reach. Enrique lines up a tackle, then slams into Raul with everything El Diablo has. They both stumble around for a bit, but Raul doesn't fall into the bed of flames.
"Alejandra! Finish him!" Raul shouts. Alejandra nods before firing another off her eyebeams again at Enrique, but the shot is way off. It goes into the sky. Alejandra groans, and with a cry of "I'm sorry Raul!" turns her back and runs down the street.
"Alejandra? Alejandra!" Raul shouts again as he takes another swipe at Enrique. Enrique dips under the wild swing with graceful ease.
Janus, seeing Alejandra turn tail and run, decides to focus his attention on Raul. It's too risky for an area attack, so he tries a ray instead. No good. The two are too heatedly locked in melee. No pun.
Borus continues to struggle with Pedro's great strength. He tries to break free of Pedro's grasp, but fails.

Enrique delivers a quick uppercut to Raul's face, which he avoids by leaning back, but this only opens him up to Enrique's kick to the shins, followed by a push. Raul reaches to grab Enrique, but he fails and falls into the bed of flames. He yells as he jacket quickly catches on fire and begins to rapidly spread.
Meanwhile, Borus remains trapped in Pedro's vice like grip, but Koto is there to relieve him. She begins to help him try to break free of Pedro's grasp by pelting him a few sound waves. Unfortunately, Pedro's grasp remains strong. Rachel, seeing Raul hit the ground, has a much easier time nailing him with a solid blast of pure force. Raul eventually jumps to his feet, and while he screams and burns, runs down the street after Alejandra.
Pedro, now seemingly alone, allows Borus to slip free as he backs away from the approaching team members
"What should we do with him?" Borus begins rubbing the shoulder Pedro had gripped.

Enrique stumbles away from Pedro just as Janus begins to give his little speech. He listens for a moment, but then kicks a chunk of debris at Janus. Janus is cut off halfway through his speech as the debris smacks him in the stomach. It completely knocks the wind out of him.
Enrique creates his wall of fire, but Pedro doesn't care. He jumps through it regardless. He manages to move quickly enough to avoid the worst of the damage, but Borus is there to cut him off. He tackles Pedro to the ground and begins raining blows down on him, but the latino proves to be a difficult opponent to land a solid hit on.
Janus and Enrique ready some energy attacks upon recovering from their daze.
Meanwhile, Lucas turns to search for Garrote. He quickly finds him: in the middle of attempting to sneak up on Koto while they're watching the exchange between Enrique and Pedro. Lucas immediately fires an ice ray to slow him down and nails Garrote in the ray. He grunts, then turns his attention on Lucas.
Lucas suddenly finds himself fighting off a grip like steel wrapping around his neck. He struggles against it, but to no avail.

"Crap," Borus utters. He kicks a nearby post in anger. Andrew cross his arms. "Now what? More aimless running?" Borus growls at Andrew. "Shut up." "There!" someone in the distance shouts. The party looks down the docks to see what appears to be a mob of people very similar in style to the rioters they saw earlier. Standing at the forefront of the mob is the former booth boy of the Shameless Fortune. "There they are! Those are the superhumans the captain was hiding on the ship! He gave them free room and board and everything! They threatened the crew if he didn't! Looks like good 'ol Martinez got the best of them." There is a roar from the crowd as they step onto the dock and begin to approach the team. "Aw shit," Borus groans. *Sorry, no map at the moment, but the dock is well over 150 ft. long.

TRY HARDER NEXT TIME === "Got it, popsicle-boy." Erique will race ahead, keeping an eye out for anyone with guns, and build 3 walls of fire, crossing the dock, 10 ft. from each other.

It's not a plain wooden jetty, but a concrete and stone dock fixed up to look fairly pleasing to tourists preparing to board luxury liners. Each side is lined with guard rails, and the area where the party stands is filled with posts marking a path for people standing in line. There's a glass shelter at the beginning of this line. The team stands outside of this area and right by the spot where they would normally climb up to the ship) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOCKS: ====== Lucas begins working on his wall just as Enrique moves further down the dock to create a wall of fire. Unfortunately, it takes everything he has just to create a single wall that stretches across the entire dock, let alone multiple walls. He falls back 10 ft. and begins to build a second wall, but he finds it too hard to maintain the first wall and build a new wall at the same time. He admits to himself that his experience in this area is somewhat lacking. The mob begins to advance towards the team. They start with a determined, brisk pace at first, but they eventually begin to charge. They immediately come to a halt upon seeing Enrique create his wall of fire. This occurs 100 ft. from the team. "What power! Should we risk it?" "Put it out! There has to be a firehose or extinguisher here somewhere." "I think I saw one back there." Borus nudges Janus. "They're going to try and put the fire out. We better think of something quick. Jump into the ocean?" Andrew gasps. "Are you mad? Look, it's freakishly warm today, but that's still sub-zero water. All they have to do is keep us from getting back out of the water and we'll freeze to death. Wouldn't take that long either." Borus sighs. "Fine. What about a boat?" Pam shakes her head. "Not here, but I see a marina further down." Borus looks down the harbour for Pam's marina. He spots it and gasps. "All the way down there? We can't get that far without killing somebody! Or worse, getting killed ourselves." "I think killing people is the only way we're going to get anywhere at this rate," Andrew shades his eyes with his hands as he looks towards the marina. "A mile at least. You can barely see it from here. Hell of a run." Lucas just finishes creating the first foot of his ice wall spanning the width of the dock. Just as he begins working on the second, Enrique notes his wall of fire beginning to burn out. It started 8 ft. high, now it's down to 7. At the same time, the mob has found themselves a bunch of fire extinguishers. "We better do something quick. It's going to get real ugly in a minute," Borus yells as he picks up one of the posts and begins to wield it like a club. Pam nods, then looks to the mob. She suddenly shakes her head. "No...no, I can't. Not again." Borus gives Pam a puzzled look. "Can't what? Look, if you can give us a hand in any way, do so, but otherwise, stand back." Andrew blinks. "What? Hey, pipe down and stand back. Let these guys do their thing." keno Kilrogg's Honor Guard ***** keno Avatar Fear!

She'll join Enrique and Lucas in making walls, creating a sonic barrier between the crowd and the party (I don't think she can make one quite as big as the dock though. Rachel suddenly begins examining the crowd closely, then looks at the walls the party is making. "What if we channeled them to one side of the dock?" she asks. "Then maybe we could sprint past on the other side."

Can you get to something that you can bring back to us and get us out of here?" Last Edit: Oct 8, 2006 at 8:01pm by Dremmy "I thought I was going to come out first," she thinks.

I've never actually tried it, but I don't see why I couldn't." He'll continue building up his wall for the moment, though. (Say 9ft. high, 1ft. thick, straight across the dock. Nice and slippery, if he has control over that.)
