[center][h2]Jason[/h2][/center] Just as everything seemed ready to go, the plan then had an alteration and had Jason watching over the hostages. [i]For God's sake make up your mind already![/i] he thought angrily and was sure that this would make them get caught off guard by the opposing team. Oh well, now he had to get up and be replaced by a pyro-guy so that the speedster didn't get cold feet, never had he heard of such a ridiculous weakness for a speedster. Finishing his root beer Jason walked over to where the hostages were and turned to Casey. "That muffler charm better not deafen them so that they don't hear our intimidation when we threaten them should they try to escape or help our opponents, I've always wanted to try some villainous intimidation tactics" he said with a smile. Leaning on his spear he waited for this whole mess to start and Jason wasn't sure how this whole thing would blow over, but the odds could be in their favor since The All-Star Squadron had three team members who hated each other. He turned to face the hostages and gave them a wicked smile. "Alright you sorry sack of shits! If any of you try to run or aid the heroes in anyway then I will chop you up into little pieces and make you chum for sharks!" he said making his voice as threatening and intimidating as possible. Maybe this whole A.R.C. session wouldn't be so bad and he would be sure to get in some good hits on his opponents, he especially wanted to give S'tann a good punch in the face. [center][h2]Mars[/h2][/center] Mars was getting himself pumped up and making mock punches at the air, it also was a way of keeping himself warm by making blood go through his system quicker. He then made his body become surrounded in a crimson red aura as Mars felt the Alpha Zone's power flow through him and now that it was game time, his personality was now serious and he was ready to punch something and rescue some hostages. Mars may not have been very book smart, but he was street smart and in football especially when playing a defensive position it was important to read your opponents and understand what they were trying to do and stop it. Of course this more offensive than defensive so he would have to adapt a bit and go on the attack, but it would be too hard. "So who will go up and knock down the door? I'll do it if no one else wants to" he said to them and hoped that they would. His punches could definitely smash through the stone doors of the research lab and since it was not a student then he wouldn't have to worry about harming anyone, it was a rare occasion for him to cut loose and show some real power. Mars wasn't wearing his usual boxing gloves and instead went for fingerless black leather sports gloves. These would do him just fine and said the words of inspiration for him in his head over and over again to keep himself ready for action [i]It's not about how hard you can punch, but about hard you can take it[/i].
