Hey guys, I'm going to be leaving a day early for my friend's memorial service. I won't have internet access, so I won't be around. I'll be back either Saturday or Sunday night, depending on the weather.

Quick post is up. It's not too long, but it's my attempt to get back to a sense of normalcy after everything that's happened in the last week and a half.

I know I've Been vague with some things, and aside from some people that frequent the chat, it may not be known what's been going on, so I guess I'll address it here.

A friend of mine was killed last week in the Oakland Warehouse Fire, and I've been having a very hard time dealing with it, and to be perfectly honest, I've barely been holding it together. That is why I've been largely MIA from here and the chat. I'm not out of the woods yet, and this weekend is her memorial service, which is going to be very difficult for me. So thank you for bearing with me while I try and deal with all of this, it is very much appreciated.

The Hybrid stood in the center lane of the Harrison Bridge, which connected the boroughs of Olympia and Royal Park. Traffic was stopped in both directions as drivers and passengers alike watched in an uneasy silence, waiting for the madman to make a move. Several vehicles, which had swerved to miss The Hybrid as he initially touched down on the bridge, teetered precariously on the edge of the bridge, waiting for the slightest movement to send their vehicle over the edge to a watery crave.

Icon touched down in front of The Hybrid, looking around the bridge surveying the situation as he raised his right hand, his palm facing the maniac.

“What is it that you want, Hybrid? There’s no need to hurt anyone else. Let’s talk about this.”

“Oh, that’s amusing.” The Hybrid said, his voice completely deadpan as his gaze met Icon’s.

“What’s that?” Icon asked, trying to keep the madman preoccupied.

“You.” Hybrid said flatly. “You work so hard to protect the people of this city…Hell, the world. And they love you for it.” He continued as he turned his back to Icon and began pacing along the center lane.

“But when things break down, when the niceties melt away…what is it that you’re left with?” He said with a hint of glee in his voice. “I’ll tell you exactly what you’re left with.” He continued as he leaned up against one of the vehicles that had found itself teetering on the edge of the bridge.

“You’re left with madness. You’re left with chaos.” He said as he rested his foot against the car’s bumper.

“You’re left with me.” He said as he pushed back with the bottom of his foot, sending the car tumbling off of the bridge, careening toward the dark blue water below.

“No!” Icon cried out as he watched in horror the car go over the side of the bridge.

Without thinking, he took off after the vehicle. He rocketed over the side of the bridge, and raced past the mid-sized sedan. He turned in mid-air and moved upward, and caught the front end of the vehicle in his hands. He began pushing back against the momentum of the car, and could feel the metal and plastic of the car’s frame straining under the stress, but slowly, the car began to rise. As Icon lifted the car back onto the bridge, he glanced into the vehicle and saw a middle aged couple and their daughter, who looked to be a freshman or sophomore in college. They were terrified, but he could see the relief in their faces as he placed the car back on the bridge. Once the family in the car was safe, Icon turned to face The Hybrid, who was nowhere to be found.

Hey guys, having some computer trouble, trying to get it resolved

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG Season 2- New Horizons (Closed)

Kyle had truly enjoyed his day out with Sam. It had been way too long since the two of them had been able to just go out for a day and be a normal couple, doing the things that normal couples did. Between the move back to Crown Ridge after school had let out for the summer and his nightly activities as Lyger, along with Sam’s summer job at the café, there just never seemed to be enough time. So their day out on the waterfront was a nice change of pace. In fact, it was so nice that Kyle didn’t want the day to end. However, just like every day, the sun began to set and darkness set in. Deep down, he wanted nothing more that to take the night off and spend a romantic night at home with the woman he loved. After all, Crown Ridge had gotten along fine without him before he came home from Lost Haven, surely it could survive one night without Lyger patrolling the city. However, against his deepest wishes, he changed into his alter ego’s suit, kissed Sam, and headed out the back window where no one would see him.

Lyger had moved from rooftop to rooftop until he had once again found himself near the Waterfront District, where he had spent the entire day with Sam. Under his mask he grinned as he wondered to himself if he found himself back here due to a subconscious desire to feel closer to Sam. However, before he was able to ponder this any further, Harry’s voice sounded from the com system built into his cowl.

“Kyle, there was a silent alarm at the Crown Ridge Museum of the Arts. Get over there and check it out.” The old man said curtly.

“I’m on it.” Lyger responded. The museum was located at the edge of the Waterfront District, just a couple of blocks away. It would only take him a few minutes to get there from the rooftops, but it was times like this that he missed having Kaiju at his disposal. However, the logistics of having the car in Crown Ridge proved problematic at best, however, Harry had assured him that he was working on the issue.

“According to the reports that are coming in, there’s some sort of disturbance on the roof. Get there and check it out.” Harry’s voice came back over the com.

“I’ll take care of it, I’m almost there.” Lyger replied as he leapt from the adjacent rooftop, firing a grapnel line from his gauntlet to the side of the museum. He silently climbed up to the rooftop. When he got up to the roof, he could not believe his eyes. He saw three all to familiar young heroes confronting a man on the rooftop.

“So why don’t you just put what you stole on the ground and hand it over to us.” One of the young women, Sammy Kadowski, otherwise known as Bast said as she stepped out in front of the thief. If her intention was to intimidate the man, Lyger’s guess is that she had failed, on account of the man charged directly toward her.

“You heard the lady.” Lyger said, his voice modulator making his voice much deeper than it normally was. Lyger, who had been standing on the ledge of the roof watching the others, jumped from his perch and landing between Bast and the assailant.

“Oh, I think I’ll hold on to this, thanks.” The thief said as he looked at the four heroes standing before him. “But I welcome you to try to take it from me.” He continued as he pressed a small red button on what looked to be a wrist watch, before he took a swing at Lyger.

Lyger easily blocked the attack and countered with a right hand of his own. However, the thief dodged the punch. Lyger blocked a kick with his knee, and landed an open hand palm thrust to the thief’s chin, which knocked the man backward.

“Nice shot.” The thief said as he lifted his mask up and spit out a mouthful of blood contemptuously before driving toward him with a leaping kick, which Lyger was again able to avoid.

“It’s over. You can’t run from us all.” Lyger said to the man, who was rebounding with another attack. The punch grazed the side of Lyger’s head, but the hero returned the favor, landing a stiff kick in the midsection which nearly doubled the thief over, followed by a straight right and to the jaw which spun him around. With the thief dazed, Lyger reached for the thief and grabbed the satchel which held whatever it was that he had stolen.

“Give it up, you’re done.” Lyger ordered the man, who looked up at him with a glazed look in his eyes.

Lyger was about to step toward the man, when suddenly the roof access door slammed open and a half a dozen Crown Ridge Police Officers emerged onto the roof with their guns drawn. Lyger tossed the satchel toward the officers, and then looked to the three young heroes.

“Move!” he said as he directed them to follow him toward the opposite edge of the roof. However, as they reached the edge of the roof, they saw several men standing before them on the next rooftop. The men were dressed in black and carrying what looked to be automatic rifles.

“This way!” Lyger said as he grabbed Bast by the arm and dragged her with him toward the other edge of the roof, just as the men in black opened fire. As Lyger and the others reached the edge of the roof, both the police and their assailants edged closer to them.

Let me know when you need me, and I'll have Midas' team swoop in. Though, they won't be much good against War-Pulse and Evergreen
