<Snipped quote by Pacifista>
Noooooo, I've gotta write Static out?!? Was there a problem with the game? Did you just lose interest? Is it not moving fast enough?

My apologies, but I don't think I'm going to be continuing this game. Thank you though!
Catching flashes of the others argument, Virgil thought it was wiser to keep out of it. Not that he had nothing to say, but...
Focusing back on Bluebird, he began, "Well...I think I get it. I mean, sure my power could be dangerous, but I've never really used it at levels that could kill someone. But it's not like Batman's code or anything, I just... Most of my rogues are street punks. Superpowered, sure, but I don't that means I should kill them."
Scratching his head, Static said, "Okay, maybe I don't get it. I ended up in the middle of those drones, so I can figure what would have happened if I'd stayed. It might not be 'hate' but it didn't feel too far off." But then again, Virgil wasn't quite sure: was it possible to save those drones? He didn't want to think about it.

Taking a breather, Static couldn't help but overhear Superbeast and Marvel celebrating. Static would have joined them normally, but something was eating at him.
Sure, on their end of things, the mission went well, but that wasn't right. They'd been the distraction, hadn't they? Yet it was Flash's team that had the most casualties and resistance. But maybe that was just how things were with the League? This was Virgil's first mission afte-
"Hey hotshot. That was some good teamwork back there."
"Huh? Oh, hey," Static responded. A smile coming to his face at her compliments, Virgil was reaffirmed that he didn't do too bad.
"Oh, you mean that little thing?" Snapping his fingers, discharging a bit of electricity, Static recalled, "Well, the name is 'Static'. Heck, when I first got my powers I woke up with a bunch of metal junk stickin' to me. There were a lot of those zombies, so my normal go-to might have been to chuck a car at them or something else heavy, but there wasn't one on hand and I had backup, so it just came to me. I still need to figure out how much juice it takes to zap one of them though: normally I keep it about taser level..."
Slowing down, Static asked, "Hey, was it me, or did you stop firing for a minute back there? You run out of ammo?"

Electrical charge pinning both Static and Bluebird to his saucer, he wasted no time in getting up and off the ground, avoiding the debris. A few magnetic deflections here or there didn't hurt anything either.
Following the charge after Wonder Woman, he kept altitude low enough and his flight steady enough for Bluebird to keep pressure on.
After some minutes, the chaos quieted down ,the team arriving in the safe zone. Moving towards the ground, Static landed his saucer, releasing the charge. Wiping his forehead, he let out a sigh of relief before cheering, "Hey, we did it!"
Turning back to look at the technofied Metropolis, he was briefly overwhelmed: he couldn't even spot where the tower they'd just taken out had been, and it was no doubt one of many.
Recalling the original goal, he called, "Hey, what about the others?"

Just letting everyone know, the next few days I'm not going to be home, so my posting will be intermittent until Sunday.
Taking a moment to admire Marvel's handiwork, Virgil was quite glad he wasn't land bound.
However, among his group, he did start to wonder about those who were. Batman was probably fine, of course. It was Batman.
Bluebird on the other hand...
Glancing over, the horde he'd pinned had been mostly thinned between her and Wonder Woman, but there were still more than a few dozen.
Taking advantage of the gap in her fire, Static flew back down, hands flaring with lightning, striking the two closest with two bolts, stunning them momentarily. As the continued to move, however, Virgil blinked. Guess it would take more than a taser to take them down.
Not really in possession of the time to experiment a bit with the power of his attacks, instead he shot a few small bolts, electrically charging the ones closest, before giving himself a matching charge, though it only slowed their walk slightly. He'd have to expunge more charge to full on repel them. Instead, he shifted to one side of his saucer before extending a hand to Bluebird, asking, "Join me? I promise, no thirty year old movie referen-" The drone generator gave another groan, Virgil wincing at the echoing noise.

Feeling the electricity about in the air as he flew from yet another disabled turret, Virgil took a breath, electricity flowing from his fingers down to his feet. "Keep it up, Cap!" Static called, before heading to an area in even more need.
While the swarm of drones below began to swell, Static glided down, where the turrets would be less likely to target them. Spotting a clustered group, he noted, "Good thing I played a bunch of zombie games as a kid." Flipping over, he fell from his saucer, landing in the middle before releasing a burst of energy across the ground...to little apparent effect. Well, that wasn't quite true, as the techno-zombies began to encroach on his personal space. Hopping up, as his saucer turned back around, his hand clung firmly to the underside as he made to get away, but a grabby hand or two found their marks, gripping him on his coat and leg.
"Hey! You're invading my personal spaaaaaace!" Static whined as only a younger brother could as he kicked one leg free. Starting to float up, he felt his coat get caught, slipping one arm out before floating up, swapping his grip and getting his other arm free, coat falling into the group unceremoniously. Flipping his saucer, he hurtled up, landing on the upward side, before aiming his fingers like pistols. Saucer circling the group he'd attracted, he floated up a bit as he fired a series of small electrical bolts, which once again seemed to impact with little to no effect. However, the opposite charges combined with the larger one he done moments ago effectively halted the drones for a bit, as the now charged zombies clung to the electrified surface, unable to move.
Of course, compared to Wonder Woman and Bluebird's trails of beaten drones...shaking his head Static called, "I'll line 'em up..."

@Pacifista Static without his coat, cause it's hot in the machine city...
~KL~
That coat has got a hole in it anyway.
(Thank you though!)
Charging into battle, Static glided over the congregation of techno-zombies, hands flashing with lightning. As they shambled underneath him, some stretching their arms out at him, Static lowered his own hands, laughing, "Aw, look they're trying so hard! Shame zombies can't jump."
At Bluebird's query, Static shot back, "They're fish in a barrel: I'm gonna see what I can do about that tower!"
Keeping out of harms way, Static flew over, pressing a hand against the solid surface, not needing more than a moment to tell he'd need a way to break it a bit before he could have a chance to fry the innards. But at the same time... "Kind of hard to justify smashing it open with Captain freakin' Marvel right behind ya."
Before he could get in another thought, a mechanical whirring was heard, followed by a blitz of energy. Virgil swerved out of the way as a bolt of energy pierced through his coat. Looking up, he saw an automated turret was in the mood to get friendly. Flying higher in hopes of taking some evasive action, he called, "Hey, I just-" Virgil didn't have time to finish, as a few more turrets used him for target practice. Worse yet, their aim was just good enough to avoid hitting the tower, but their coverage was too good for Static to get out of the way. "Man, I'm not liking ya, Brainiac. How am I gonna hit my banter quota like this!?"
Gliding out of the way, he spotted a tech-infested car, or what might have been one, not to far away. Knowing he couldn't stop, he sped over, lightning arcing from his hands as he grabbed the car. Rotating himself, the lightning hurled the vehicle up and over towards one of the turrets. Charging, Virgil raised his hands as the car approached, going a bit high, before Virgil brought it down, dunking it right on his target. The vehicle bent in the barrel right as it was about to fire, the energy going off right in front, the explosion ripping its front apart, rendering it useless as the vehicle crashed back into the ground.
"Whoo! That was totally outside the three point lin-" Static began, before the other turrets continued to hail him. Flipping around, clinging to his saucer as he briefly did a somersault, Static grumbled, "Okay, that's just foul..."
