[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin was surprised and terrified to find herself in New York. Luckily the others were there as well. Unfortunately so was a rampaging Hulk. Katherin had heard of the Hulk but she had no idea how big he got when raged. "I think we need a plan. Like yesterday!"

[twave]

Having no prior knowledge of the Hulk the entire scenario meant nothing to Esuterura. But the mixture of fearful and panicked thoughts of the people running away soon put that to rest. The Hulk, a seemingly endless powerhouse of strength and rage. Stories filled the young girls mind with tales of destruction. Doing her best to keep calm Esuterura could feel the Hulk's anger hanging in the air.

She was loosing focus before the others snapped her back into the moment. They needed to stop this thing? Taking a moment she tried to see what the others were planning.

Ben rubs his eyes as his senses return simultaneously, momentarily stunning him. The first thing he notices is that he and his classmates are standing in New York City, but he can't remember how they got there. The second thing he notices is that apparently, the Hulk is on a rampage, as usual. Finally, the straw that broke the camel's back is that the Incredibly terrifying Hulk is heading their way. He stumbles backward, leans against a building, and puts his head in his hands before asking, "If the Avengers are on the other side of the world, are we going to have to fight the Hulk?"

Anthony opens his eyes slowly once his senses come back, allowing himself to not be overwhelmed, then smiles and says, "Home, sweet home." He walks to the other students and asks, "Is this your first time in NYC? Let's go to my house, and have a little party. Then later tonight, we'll hit the town and I'll show you the sights."

As Anthony speaks, a thumping noise begins to ring out from behind him. As each second ticks by, the thunderous noise becomes a veritable symphony, joined by the sound of car alarms going off, metal being crushed, and the shattering of glass. One indescribably loud roars echoes throughout the city, then all goes silent. Suddenly, a mere 75 yards from the group of Academy students, the Hulk falls from the sky, his immense mass causing the street to collapse beneath his feet. He stands up as ruptured underground pipes shoot water high into the air, and pauses when he see's the young adults before him.



Anthony sighs, "He's right behind me, isn't he?"

The Hulk begins to move toward the Academy students, but is distracted by a force of police officers pointlessly shooting their firearms at him.

While the Hulk is distracted, Anthony asks, "This is most likely an idiotic question, but do any of you have a plan of attack?"

Sue

The transition was instant, and they were now in New York. News came of the Hulk rampaging through the heart of The Big Apple. The destruction, the chaos, the rest of the Avengers were not there to protect the innocents against the unstoppable force. Now was not the time for admiration of one of her favourite heroes, because she was scared for her life.

It was ruinous and calamitous , and they had to act fast.

[Dioxide]

((Do not start an attack. Knight, our GM, will start it.))

[twave]

The Hulk had Esuterura's full attention before he turned toward the officers. With a brief sigh of relief she contemplated Anthony's question. The others knew more about the Hulk, what he was capable of and what may have stopped him in the past. From what the young alien had gathered there wasn't likely much she could do with force. But perhaps if she could understand the creature.

That was it, or at the very least, a start. But it would take time to work past all the anger on the surface. She turned away and headed out of sight. Before getting too far though she sent a message back to the group, Keep him distracted. Taking refuge in a small building Esuterura began to focus. She was going to have to clear her own mind before anything else.

[KatherinWinter]

"We need to get him away from the center of the city." Katherina offered it wasn't exactly a plan so much as a start of an idea. She wished she was more familiar with everyone's abilities. But she had been so focused on her own that she really only had a vague idea of what everyone can do.

[shmurr... sorry.. ive been busy, and havent really had time to re-read shtuff.. :( ]]

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani had learned quite a bit over the past several days. She'd been picking up sign language and Mandarin, both languages fighting for purchase in her ever busy mind. More importantly, she was starting to come through with her fighting- after seeing Sue's awesome performance, she'd been inspired. Between books, videos, music and class, she was starting to blend the tai-chi she already knew with the Wushu she loved, and the capoeira that was growing on her. Oddly enough, she was gaining weight- muscle, in fact, as she replaced one night of reading with a workout. Her weightlifting (or lack thereof) had embarrassed her, and she hated being embarrassed. In her Espionage class, she was learning subtlety and strategy, and in her Ancient Weapons course, she'd found her weapon of choice. A lightweight, double-edged Chinese Jian. It was a one-handed blade and not meant to be slicing everywhere, but to be an extension of the body and used with grace and elegance.

She still hadn't decided on an alias yet, but that would come hopefully with time.

There were so many things she wanted to put in motion. She wanted to become better friends with Sue and some of the others. She was also planning a covert operation involving Anthony Luthor... (How did you ask a teacher about seduction techniques without becoming completely embarrassed?) But all in due time, she still had the rest of the year. All in all, she was learning quick.

Now they were in Martian Manhunter's class, and she was eager to show what she'd been learning. Some of that eagerness dropped off, however, when she found out they were facing the Hulk. Talk about a learning curve.

Kijani was ready, still, though, and so far unafraid. "I agree, we've got to get him out of the way of all these buildings. I've been working on evasion and dodging..." She'd also been experimenting with various forms of paper weaponry. Today's choice: paper blending sticks. Normally used for art and charcoal smudging, in her hands they became sharp and sturdy tools for stabbing. She'd figured out how to shoot them through the air. "I can get him after me. He's big, but clumsy... he won't touch me." Confidence was key, now was no time to be afraid.

[knight125]

Anthony steps up and says, "If there are no objections, this is where I step in. Sue is really the only one that has a chance at stunning the Hulk, which is the best we can hope for." He looks around then continues, "I suppose we better take the fight out of the city. Everyone here except for Sue and I are on distraction duty. Use whatever attacks or annoyances you can to lead him out of the city." He turns to Connor, then continues, "You're the only one that can fly, I think, so you're going to supervise the others, and lend a hand when needed. Sue and I will meet you outside the city, where she can unleash all of her power." He then asks everyone, "Any questions?"

[Dioxide]

Sue

Sue looked around, hoping for someone to make a plan. She wasn’t the strategist, but she knew she had to do something to get them away from the people.

She was happy her power was acknowledged. She was going to be a vital part of their team’s success, if indeed the execution went through. She ran back with Anthony, and had the others do their work. She hoped they'd be okay against the Incredible Hulk.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin wasn't certain what she could do. Her powers were still some what unpredictable, but getting Hulks attention shouldn't be too difficult. Katherin envisioned an ice ball in her hand. Instead she got a snowball. Close enough she thought, it might due to get the big guys attention.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Fine" Connor said. He still didn't like anthony very much. There was just something about him. Like the way he just steps up qnd creates a plwn without discussion. Arrogancr. Connor took out several small objects, "I need
Someway to communicate with everyone, and unlike Esuterura, nome of you can read minds. They go in your ear"

He had built them, small so they weren't noticable right away, yet able to pick up a response if it were whispered. He only had a few at the moment, and reluctantly gave one to Anthony. He bypassed Sue, because he thought it might be a distraction for her, amd Esuterura, since she could just talk in his mind, then after some th8ught, gave one of the remaining three to kijani, and Austin. The last one he actually needed himself, his suit not yet fitted with one. This would be their test drive. Hell of a time for it.

He turned to them all, "the hulk is powerful. Really, any attack we give will just be an annoyance to him. Bullets don't even slow him. Think powerful attacksl they may have a shot against him, and get him moving where we want" he said, "we want to get out of this with little life iost. What set him off this time? Might be a good question to answer. "

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike sat in manhunt class bored out of his mind. He was wondering what he should do next

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin took the ear price, slipping it into his was. He said," I would be good as a distraction. He is indeed clumsy as Kijani said. I'm fast, strong, and most importantly very agile." His eyes flashed in anger at Anthony. He disliked Anthony as well, and did not trust him at all. He then said," but Anthony, what could you possibly do to harm the Hulk? As you said, bullets couldn't harm him. What can you do? Out of the two of you, I trust Sue the most to be able to stop the Hulk. And don't count us all as distractions. If we can land a powerful it, we will take it."

[Klyix]

As seemed to be an increasingly common theme Aver'i had no great trust of Anthony, but that wasn't her greatest concern in the current moment. The big, angry green thing charging towards them was. It was for this fact that she saw no reason to correct Anthony by telling him she could fly or by debating who should be taking what roles. "Surely we can all agree that the priority is to lead him away from the city and soon, we can't put others at excessive risk. You can discuss who should be calling the shots later, for now we just focus on getting him out of here." She wanted to get moving and start the inevitable, for every moment they stood still now they had less options later.

[twave]

Safe for the moment, Esuterura calmed herself down and blocked out her senses. What Connor said was exactly the kind of information she was hoping to get to. Somewhere in that giant's head was the answers to why all this was happening. And with a little luck hopefully a way to end this fight peacefully. She could read their plans and she responded. Don't enrage him any more than you have to. You'll only make it harder for me to read his inner thoughts

Going silent again she attempted to break past the monster's anger. She would have to be careful though, she didn't want to alert the Hulk to her meddling.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani put in the earpiece and nodded. "I agree with Aver'i on this one. You boys can measure your dicks later." She figured that would shut up their little glaring contest. "Anthony's plan is better than no plan- let's go."

She'd been waiting for a chance to test out a trick she'd been developing, and now seemed to be the time. From the pack on her back, she summoned a thick ream of simple white paper, and started to twist and dance, her body in motion. The paper moved with her, shifting, solidifying... until it became something very recognizable.

"Yes, it's a paper airplane." Kijani muttered before anyone else could laugh. "If anyone else has their own flight vehicle, they're allowed to laugh." She sat down in the massive white plane, took a few deep breaths and set it to floating. "Well? Are we going?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor did laugh, because he looked down at himself in his suit. "Technically, i can fly in this" he said, grinning which of course no one could see. "That's pretty cool though"
