[IC] The Superhero RP

[Deathmaker]

"Hey there, Solar Eclipse." Zed smiled as he nodded to Niesha. "Well for secrecy purposes, let's just address ourselves as our aliases. Eclipse, this is Golden Thunder. I think I'll just go with what people used to call me... Predator." Zed chuckled, his wings resting at the moment. "Heading towards the same direction, Eclipse? I'm going to District 1 to search for more allies." Zed informed her as he turned to Golden Thunder. "Thunder. Our possible enemies include a woman who has the ability to make near-perfect illusions. As if that wasn't annoying enough, she can also release psychic waves which can cause tons of damage. Next is a male in a suit of armor. His weapons are S-class, and he has a deadly aim. In addition, he's also quite resilient to damage." Zed informed Jason about their foes in order to prepare the lad.

Zed flapped his wings as he hovered on the ground.

"District 1 will be filled with people. You two might blend in, but I am an exception. I might draw attention to myself." Zed spoke, his eyes fixed on the direction of the District 1. "Keep an eye out for any threats. I might have lost their scent now... but I think I can still track them down." Zed smiled as he pulled out from his bandages a sharp bullet, stained with blood.

"I can track that guy using the bullet he gave me... It's going to be a faint scent since my blood will have changed it. But it's better than nothing. Shall we?" Zed motioned for them to follow him as he took off towards District 1... an ominous feeling inside that something bad is about to happen.

"I reckon the woman will try very hard to kill me flr the simple fact she can't figured out how I know her illusions aren't real" Niesha said following, frowning slightly, "and that's simple in itself. I can see auras. Can change your appearance, but not your aura00"

She looked about them, as if she could see them, "I've been thinking what could ne im the breifcase. Amytjing from a bomb to a laser gun comes to mind"

She held her power at the ready, as if expecting any attack. Then, since she couldnt think of mjch else to say regarding tnat turned to Golden Thunder, "so, are you always humongous, or do you just bulk up when the lightening strikes?"

Niesha had a way about her that could put people at ease, she wasn't aware of this herself. It was just simply im the way she talked, and acted. She would always have an innocence about her, no matter what. "I mean, are doorways even big enough for you?" She continued.

Golden Thunder probably wasn't as big as she was making him out to be, but she herself was short and small of build. She smiled, "which would be pretty inconvient, really if they weren't"

[Barioth]

(Sorry for my absence, I'll just timeskip an hour ahead so Eddy is in the building, MindWarp can be there too.)

A security guard rounded the corner on his usual rounds near the top floor of the sky scraper. He was bored, bored as hell. Drowsily, he yawned as he walked down the quiet hallway. Passing by a dark hallway he heard someone whistling what sounded the tune of Camptown Ladies. Turning towards the hallway he nervously called out, "Hello is there any one over there?" Cautiously, he began stepping through the dimly-lit hallway. He remembered he was the only one who was supposed to be on this floor, the ventilation floor, he pulled out his taser and called out again, "Whoever you are, come out now, I'm armed," Carefully he walked further down the hallway straining his eyes to adjust to the end of the hallway. Swiftly, two arms came down from the dark of the hallway ceiling and grabbed the man. He struggled and grunted as he was pulled into an open tile in the ceiling, the sounds of struggling stopped with a crack. Instead of a security guard coming down, Deadend dropped down from the ceiling with the guard's key card in hand. He clicked on the headset in his helmet and spoke to Mind Warp over the transmission, if she heard him, "I've opened access to the ventilation systems, bring the weapons."

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin was surprised how tall some of the buildings in sector one where. She had never been to this part of town before. There had been no need. She was only here no out of curiosity and desire to know the city. If she was going to be a reporter and a hero then she needed to be able to get around the city easily. As Katherin drove she listened to the scanner she had installed in Ladybug. Nothing she had heard fight what she was looking for. Katherin wanted to cover the chaos of the day as well as the heroes and villains that responded to it.

After a combination of struggling to keep up with Lars' from the ground and surrounding structures and the lantern seemingly brushing off his earlier questions, Jacque's impatience finally gave way to anger, previous fear be damned, no one disregarded Jacque Ma'aka. The young man let out a snarl and lashed out with his aquatic limb, wrapping it around Lars' ankle before yanking it sharply down to forcefully ground the lantern in a surprising show of strength. "Hey, how about shining a bit of light on what the hell i'm supposed to prepare for before taking off like some big red kaihe!?" Jacque hissed,reverting to an old habit of mixing english with the language his father had taught him as his anger continued to build. Unbeknownst to Jacque however, the water that came into contact with Lars' evaporating at an alarming rate, as if the glowing red energy surrounding Lars had vaporized it near instantly.

Scorn bared his sharp teeth as he felt himself being yanked down and yelled at by the metahuman from earlier. He jerked away from what was pulling him down, successfully breaking away from the water due to his aura evaporating it quickly. Jacque now had Scorn's attention. Only problem, Scorn was mad, and you never want the attention of a mad... even madder Red Lantern.
If there was one thing that Scorn hated, it was people ordering him around. No one gave him orders but Atrocitus.

"You dare?!"

Scorn spat a stream of napalm in Jacque's direction.

[Absolute Grace]

“Aw~ Thanks hunny-bun! I’ll put the cakes in the oven when I get there. I am very excited to try them.” Came MindWarp’s coded reply. Since she was in public, she pretended to have answered a phone call. “I’ll see you soon. Love you… Love you most~” She ‘hung up’ the phone and put it onto her coat pocket just as she entered the skyscrapers lobby. She had illusioned herself in a disguise which would allow her to blend in. Without batting an eye she walked over to the elevator and pressed the ‘up’ button. Moments later the doors opened and she stepped in and pressed another button.

This elevator was good. The floor was carpeted, the walls had mirrors and wood panelling AND there was elevator music, which she bobbed her head to. The elevator took its sweet time, but finally she arrived at her destination and the doors opened up to the hallway of the ventilation level. She waited for the elevator doors to close before moving forward, allowing her illusion to fade away. “Never fear, MindWarp's here!”

[Krein]

ABADDON

Abaddon's senses had alerted him to Lass's presence, and more importantly, his surprise attack. Moving swiftly, Abaddon made the shadow hammer miss its mark completely. In seconds, Abaddon was behind Lass with one sharp claw held right over his jugular.

"First rule of thumb, never try to surprise me. It probably won't work first of all, and attacking me to show off is a pretty nice way of pissing me off and winding up in a hospital bed."

Removing his claw from over the crucial vein, Abaddon walked over in front of Lass.

[KradKazumi]

Lass

---

His hammer hit nothing then the next thing he knew, his life was in danger. As the hammer disappeared, Abaddon talked "I wasn't showing off. I just-" wanted to kill you. Because if Lass managed to, he would be far stronger than before. But he hasn't even started getting taught, nor had he started to improve his skills. He knew he couldn't just defeat him after a good rest "- wanted to see if I could land a hit on you." he said casually. This is still quite true. He also wanted to test if he could attack him successfully, but it seems he can't.

Abaddon walked in front of him "So. What are you going to make me do?" right away, Lass asked. He wasn't really in a hurry to become more powerful, there was no reason to. But he doesn't like doing nothing. It bores him. As he waited for an answer, he played with a hand that came out from his shadow.

[MonsieurShade]

Jacque cursed and lept out of the way of the crimson liquid spewed his way, the memory of how it scorched the earth still fresh in his mind, "You're damn right I dare!" he spat back before uncapping the large camel pack. The water sloshed around rapidly in the pack before splashing outward and joining the water he already controlled, "Just because I don't enjoy fighting doesn't mean I won't lay your ass flat. So how about answering my question?" the hydromancer growled, the liquid taking the form of a massive fist.

Golden Thunder probably wasn't as big as she was making him out to be, but she herself was short and small of build. She smiled, "which would be pretty inconvient, really if they weren't"

Golden Thunder gave her a half smile as they took off, his lightning trail leaving a yellow streak as he flew, "I'm actually only like 16..." he let that sink in for a moment and then continued, "My powers let me go back and forth from this form and my normal shape by saying a single word...I'm just a kid...But that doesn't mean I wouldn't wipe out an entire militia if I needed to." The smile that followed these words was so dark it could have been pure unfiltered evil.

Golden Thunder smiled genuinely this time, "My powers were given to me..." his voice sounded distant as if he wasn't really talking but remembering, "Back when things were still good...You see i was an orphan...never knew my parents...but i tried my hardest to be happy...and no matter what i tried to make bad situations not so bad...in that orphanage i had a girlfriend...Mary." His voice cracked as if the name alone brought pain into his body. "We went through allot together...she was even there for me when i first got my powers and nearly got killed by a monster from another dimension...I defeated it and then things went bad...i got cocky...some bad people figured out my identity...taped my mouth shut...and..." He stopped there, "In short a hero saw us being killed but was to busy with a building fire to help...Mary died...and when i finally got the tape off...i wiped out half of a city block in anger." He looked away, "That why i do things the way i do...in all honesty the reason i told you all this is to warn you...I don't want you having a panic attack if i kill someone...most heroes have a habit of trying to arrest me for that...But if these villains can't be stopped...I will slaughter them."

Scorn was getting even more pissed at the simple fact that this guy was trying get all up in his face. He'd answer his question, but not before putting Jacque back in his place. Growling, Scorn clenched his right fist and held it up. The power ring glowed an even brighter crimson as two large, clawed hands manifested from the red light.

[MonsieurShade]

'Aw hell, he's gonna be one of 'those' people. Can't say I didn't warn him.' Jacque mentally lamented as he cocked back the fist. While he may have been thoroughly pissed at being brushed off, Jacque wasn't nearly so ignorant as to forget that this man was clearly a tough bastard having survived a crash from the sky, so for now he'd test him, try and see just what Lars was capable of before he tried to attack up close. Jacque swung the fist forward, his eyes narrowing as the water surged forward towards Lars.

[MarshiestMallow]

Niesha was silent for a few momemts, she really should be thinking of nerself as her alias, but for her, at the oresent, the two were so similar, it was hard to distance herself,

"This city, all the districts, is my home, I will protect it. The illusionist is a powerful, and formidable enemy. Short of killing her, I don't see any otner option, she could easily illusion herself out of just about any cell. But...I have never killed before, nor do I wish to. Yet if its to save my home, the people in it.,, I would probaby do so" sbe said. 16? Such a young age to be so burdened. "I am 21, and the worst thing I can say that has happened to me is my mother was murdered. And she had powers, she just didn't use them, I dont want to die, without at least trying to fignt"

She fell silent, looking over the city, "yet there is a line, at what point do we go from protectors, to vengeful? At what point to do we go from killing evil villians, to killing innocents, or those who are simply evil but don't act on it? At what point in the killings do you, I fact, become the villian? It is a fine line to tread Mr Thunder, and I would tread it carefully"

[makarov]

A dark aura floated around Golden Thunder, "I crossed that line already Solar Eclipse...That's just the price of the cold world we live in...I acted as a hero and it cost me everything...justice means punishment...that's the cold truth...I am a villain...but if its the last thing i do...ill be the only villain walking." he breathed out slowly, "My friends...if i had any...call me Jason." he flew carefully looking for the enemies that had been described to him, "I know it sounds awful...But anger is all i have left...and when i give it up...I'll die."

[MarshiestMallow]

"No. You have good in you, you just refuse to see it, thinking the world has been so horrible to you, why ahould you do anything good? Well, the world is horrible to us all. But doing even a small thing of good can mean the whoke world to someone" Niesha said shifting

"Alkiances change. Choices aren't permanent, intil you make them so. We all have the potential for good or bad. No one is inherently evil or bad, you can still choose to be a powerdul source of good, I stead of a powerfil source of evil. Because if you end uo being the onky villian...then there will be a bunch of heros all aiming for you. Good and evil is a balnce, if fyou are the onky villian...well more villins will apear to balance it out."

She sighed, "a balance that does, occassionally, get tipped towards on side or another, but it never lasts. I havechosen to be a hero, for the simply ffact that I want to mke the world a better place"

[Krein]

As the watery construct came towards him, Scorn quickly altered his red light construct into a simple but strong shield and used it to block the attack.

"You do realize if all you can create are liquid constructs inferior to that of even the Green Lanterns, you could die right now!"

Scorn flew towards Jacque at a high speed, increasing the extreme heat of his red aura to add in extra passive damage.

ABADDON

Abaddon growled at Lass, something about the kid didn't exactly seem right, but then again, what could when you have a 14 year old who murders people for fun in his spare time? He mentally told the symbiote to keep track of his actions and behavior. When Lass asked Abaddon what he'd be having him do, he walked over to the ledge of the building.

"First, we'll just pose you some questions. Follow us."

He leaped off and began making his way to a part of sector three where a gang had claimed territory.

[MonsieurShade]

"This could get tricky."Jacque muttered as he watched the water evaporate after touching the shield. His mind raced, until he came at a conclusion that his best bet would be to strike fast or else the water wouldn't be able to get near Scorn without evaporating first. His thoughts were quickly interrupted by the lantern speeding towards him like the coal engine from hell. Instinctively Jacque leaned backwards, his spine bending at an almost impossible angle just as Lars was about to plow into him. He felt the searing heat on his skin threatening to roast him and brought the water over himself to shield his body. The villain quickly rose back up as Lars flew over head and lashed out with the water again, this time narrowing the end of it to use it more like a whip. "I'm afraid I don't know what a Green lantern is. So your threat is lost on me kuware." He hissed as the water struck the lantern vertically across the back, its speed actually allowing him to score a hit before it evaporated again. Jacque grit his teeth, he couldn't keep this up without a bigger source of water, without it he'd be left with only three limbs and a machete, not exactly favorable odds against whatever Lars was.

[Deathmaker]

Zed listened to the conversation between Eclipse and Thunder. Inside, he was thinking of a way to take on those two dangerous opponents. Truly, Zed was similar to Thunder in history. They had already crossed the line between villain and hero. In fact, many would already consider him a villain... perhaps even Niesha... he just didn't tell her yet. The lad looked to the sky as he brought the bullet near his nose and giving it a deep inhale.

A surge of different aromas filled his nose as he picked one out... that dark and bloody scent. The murderer.

"I got his scent. It's faint, but I got it." Zed smiled as his wings opened, sending him to the sky. "They're near. We're in luck, they're probably in district 1 as well." Zed informed them as he took off heading towards District 1 while following the scent. "Prepare yourselves... It won't be just a walk in the park. Although I wish it was." Zed said with a grim tone as his eyes stayed straight, expecting the inevitable battle to come.

[MarshiestMallow]

Niesha sighed, "it doesnt matter really, I guess" she said after a minute to Gooden Thunder

then, "I can point out any illusions the woman uses, if she is there. We shouod ne careful. We still don't know what was in that briefcase" she said, "and what about people?"

She looked about, realosimg just how densly populated district one was. "So much damage could easoly be done..."
