"Understood. I look forward to working with the new CHAMP team." Brenner said with a polite bow of the head and was about to leave the two to their own devices he remembers something. "Oh yeah. The Gadgeteer specified that if there were any media coverage of your jobs, we'd keep the details about you heroes at a bare minimum." The man shrugged. "Guess he learned that hero work and a public identity doesn't go hand in hand. Back entrance is clear if you want to leave before the media annoys you." He pauses again. "One last thing. If you're wondering about the pay, don't worry about it. Once Rent-A-Hero confirms that the job is complete and the client is satisfied, the funds will be delivered incognito to your HQ a couple days later." With his piece finished he excuses himself and heads out of the club to deal with the growing crowd of confused party goers, pedestrians, nosy neighbors, and of course the media.

The police Lieutenant nodded sagely to both of them. "Rest assured, Mr. Jersey Devil, that The Grey Gadgeteer will be under the care of the Downtown General Hospital." Just as he explains to the two of the heroes that Manny would be in good hands, they hear a voice calling to Lt. Brenner from the VIP area. "Lieutenant, We've hit the motherlode! Ten inhalers of Diamond Dust and a whole metric fuckton of other contraband drugs AND a little league villain!" Brenner's expression changed from a semi-lukewarm deadpan to a look of surprise and awe. "Huh. So Man...The Gadgeteer wasn't over exaggerating when he told me you guys were legit. Here I thought that we'd be saving your asses like his old team before they quit, got too injured to continue hero duty, or went rogue." He takes a drag of his cigarette. "Guess being the CHAMP's police contact does pay out once in a while."

He looks to the side as Bucur and Façade are being taken away from the scene for treatment and arrest. "You've made a big mistake, chumps! My friends will find out and you'd wish you hadn't made me an enemy! All four of you will be dead by the end of the MONTH, you hear me!? DEAD!" The Romanian man yelled at Bob and Talia as he made his way past them, bound on a stretcher. Brenner only sneered at the death threats of the soon to be incarcerated club owner. "Yeah yeah and I'm a king of Mars. Save your stories for the judge, scumbag." Brenner takes one final drag of his smoke before tossing it down and stamping out the embers. "So, what you two planning to do now?"

The Curtain Falls

Bob and Talia's coordination went off without any issue and the false super sluggishly chased after the dancer and her ribbons. The finale was coming to a close, the monstrous man had been positioned underneath the chandelier Bob was on. Link and Manny were in a relatively safe distance away from the danger. And, of course, Talia had danced herself away from the danger zone to let gravity take this pesky thorn on their side away once and for all.

With one swift motion of Bob's free hand, the thick rope holding up the canopy is cut and the large hefty light fixture freefalls 20 feet down and towards the brute. The impact causes a significant tremor to shake the entirety of the nightclub and a cacophonous crash echoes throughout the building. As the dust settles, there lies the unconscious form of the false super. Underneath 400 pounds of bent steel, shattered crystal, and broken light bulbs. Bucur had not seen the entirety of the event but he was horrified none-the-less. "YOU SONS OF BITCHES! THAT CHANDELIER WAS AN ANTIQUE!" Gone was his concern for his severely injured leg, all he was focused on now was cussing out the remaining CHAMPs in his native Romanian.

It was a hard battle, with Link blowing a fuse and Manny unconscious, but it was all worth it in the end. The CHAMP proved themselves to be legitimate heroes.

But as celebrations go, they had to be cut short by the sound of the front door being kicked in and the sudden presence of the Hero City Police Department. "HPD! Freeze!" The group of the boys in blue warned everyone while drawing their pistols. "Woah, woah, woah! Boys calm down. Situation has been handled by the heroes." Said a man who parted the sea of blue uniforms, badges, and drawn guns. He looks to Talia and then to Bob hanging on the celling with a confused look on his face, before he sees the unconscious form of the Latino man. "Oh my God, Manny! Someone wheel him out and into the ambulance!" He yells at the number of police officers present. "NOW GODDAMNIT!" The police then scramble out to do what the man told them to. Soon an EMT team arrives and places Manny on a stretcher to be taken to the hospital for medical treatment. Other EMT teams escorted by pairs of police officers arrive to capture and treat the other injured criminals and to get Link some psychiatric help.

Once this was happening, the man approaches Talia but stops at a safe 10 feet away before introducing himself to the two remaining heroes. "I'm Lieutenant George Brenner. I assume you're the 'new team' Manny talked about?"

The Town That Takes All

Been a few days.
Is this still alive?

One Last Push

Bob easily launched himself to the chandelier above to get a better vantage of the dance floor as well as the VIP area. His body ached like crazy but his sheer determination pushed him onward. Thankfully, Bucur was still incapacitated by his vicious strike earlier that fight and Façade was out cold. The thugs were either out cold from the electric shocks dealt by Manny or writhing on the ground from the injuries caused by Bob. The case containing the Diamond Dust inhalers was, miraculously, still where Manny had dropped it when he got stabbed. If the Jersey Devil were forced to do in the false super, a pistol could still be acquired in the VIP area.

But he had a plan right to take the brute down non-lethally, right? Bob didn't need to resort to using guns to gun down this beast like those heartless men and women who gunned his friends and family down like animals. Bob was better than that...right?

Down in the dance floor, the Brute slowly lumbered forward towards Talia. Even after getting hit with what would have been tantamount to a lightning bolt, it still managed to stand back up. Its roaring bravado reduced to an ember of defiance against the rookie heroes. Just as the brutish monster reached down to use the unconscious Manny as a projectile, the big meaty hand grasped at nothing but the polished hardwood floor. Confused he looks at the Performer and sees her ribbon wrapped around the unconscious man that was a safe distance away from either of them. But rather than go for the vulnerable man, the brute was easily distracted by the graceful movements of both woman and ribbon; its clumsy swings, made more sluggish by its weakened state, automatically failed to snatch even a strand of hair from the woman.

If she played her cards right, she could set up the over-dusted up brute to the center of the dance floor and give Bob an opportunity to drop the chandelier on it and end the fight then and there without resorting to lethal means.

...but of course it will be up to them on how they finish this fight.

Ah ok.

I was hoping that Leo would come back soon but I suppose that time has passed.
I'll update the IC as soon as I can after you two have posted.
That sound okay with you both?

Franklin's face scrunched slightly with confusion as he observes the clear evening sky gradually disappear and soon replaced by near blinding fog. "Fog?" He asked nobody in particular. Fog was not an uncommon thing in Maine but fog this thick was. "Forecast this morning didn't mention anything about fog today..." But regardless of the man's complaints about the weather phenomenon, the fog did settle and soon hindered even his ability to look across the street. The fog restricting his vision heightened his uneasiness. Only God knew what hid in the fog now that the man could just barely see ten feet in front of him. He needed something to make him feel safe even in the blinding fog. He needed a weapon.

But where? Most, if not all, of the abandoned buildings were potential death traps just lying in wait for their next victim that unwittingly assumed that the buildings were safe. Looking around the immediate area gave him nothing but rubbish. "God, c'mon give me something to work with here." He semi-prayed while he explored the area for something usable as an improvised self-defense weapon.

He could only hope that nothing hostile would interrupt him before he found something.
