Wow, this must be the quietest that this threat has been in weeks! Everyone ok?

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

It's all good :) I just have a job interview tomorrow so didn't wanna leave anyone waiting in case it takes me a little longer to get ready and I couldn't have made a post haha

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

A relatively short post I'm afraid but I hope it gets the message across, I've been wanting Thor to subdue someone like this for ages and, given the lack of internal organs, Metallo's in no real danger haha.

My ideal pic for the scene but no Superman and the arm looks a bit too much like Shazam haha

Or this

New Troy - Metropolis - United States - Midgard

Thor's flight had been brief this time, he felt himself be dragged through the air by Mjolnir's power before coming to a halt over the fray that was rapidly coming to an end. Thor hung in the air with his cape flowing behind him, he raised Mjolnir to the sky and immediately the skies themselves were covered by clouds. Thor began to descend slowly and, as he did so, he called upon the clouds to let loose a moderate rainfall.

Thor's feet touched down lightly on the ground with the first drops of rain and he surveyed the battleground with a warrior's keen eye.

Superman was standing, barely, to Thor's eyes the 'mighty' alien looked to be breaking out in a sweat and appeared under the influence of some illness even. Still, Thor nodded in appreciation, whatever was causing the alien's weakness the man was at least on his feet.

Wonder Woman was glorious, Thor had never met the hero but had made it his business to learn about her. Claiming relationships with a pantheon just as prevalent on Midgard as Thor's own, Wonder Woman was clearly a fighter and, from the looks of her, she respected her lineage to a much greater extent than even Thor did. She was clearly no exile bearing arms and equipment of the make that she carried. Thor yearned to test himself against her, first on the battlefield and then in the bedroom. The Greek Gods were pampered and played like children, it would do the Amazon good to see what a real God was like.

A moan from Corben brought Thor's attention to him, the mortal looked wrong. Thor knew the humans experimented with new forms of technology each day but to see such a merging of man and machine made his gut clench in revulsion. A possible instinctive response to the 'radiation' that Lex had mentioned was emerging from the pathetic looking figure on his knees by the school bus. Thor was not worried about himself but was aware that such elements could prove fatal if left unattended and mortals were such fragile things he knew he needed to hurry.

"Hold warrior!" He called to Wonder Woman who looked prepared to continue her assault on Corben even as he lay there. "Thy opponent is vanquished, render him unto my Godly care and the matter will be closed."

Pointedly ignoring Superman, Thor strode towards Corben and placed himself between the fallen man and his would-be attacker.
"Thy reputation is one of fairness and reason." Thor kept his voice calm but firm as the rain beat down upon them all. "Sully it not with the blood of this creature."

As he spoke, Thor placed Mjolnir upon Corben's back and let go. The weight of the hammer sent Corben's body to the floor and pressed his face into the rubble; try as he might Corben could not shift the hammer even a fraction. The situation, as far as Thor saw it, was contained and his message was clear.

"What say you?"

TMX: you know the battle is in a burrough of Metropolis and not the arctic, right?

@Gowi

Yeah I misread an earlier bit, have edited accordingly. :)

Balls in your court for the scene, Time. =)

@Gowi

Just so I'm clear on the rules of interaction in this sense, we're ok to quote lines other people have delivered and are able to control NPC's but cannot control or write dialogue for other player characters? That's my understanding of it. Any objections or anything?

Lexcorp Bulding - Metropolis - United States - Midgard

Thor listened passively as Lex talked, the man was a font of words, his keen mind reminded Thor of his brother Loki; the younger prince of the Realms always had some scheme in progress and could dream up more ways to sow confusion and mischief than Thor would ever know. But he loved his brother and the memory brought a sharp pang of hurt to the Thunder God's chest.

"-Jonathan Corben and he is very dangerous. Very dangerous, indeed."

Thor turned his attention to the screen that Lex was showing him, three figures were exchanging powerful blows and- no, two of the figures were attacking the other. Thor focused on the screen and recognised the garb of-

"-Superman and Wonder Woman want to keep him to themselves. If they do, innocent people will die."

Thor understood what was happening, Superman had engaged into battle with this 'Corben' and had been defeated, but rather than accept his death like a warrior he had summoned assistance from Wonder Woman and were dishonourably overpowering their foe by numbers alone.

Thor had no trouble imagining Wonder Woman was a formidable warrior in her own right and Lex had mentioned many times of how Superman's abilities were an inevitable threat to Midgard itself.

This would be a bout worthy of the Mighty Thor! Or it would be if Lex's words had not struck a chord with the Odinson.

Thor looked Lex directly in the face, "Thou dost say Corben must be brought back? Whence was this danger here before and why was it given leave to go?"
Shaking his head, Thor whirled Mjolnir, "Corben will be recovered, but we will have words upon my return."

With that Thor loosed the hammer and went flying through Lex's wall into the Metropolis skyline. He could feel the tug at his senses leading him towards the battle at hand and allowed himself to surrender to them, flying into the city of Metropolis itself.

Does the world know Superman's an alien at this point?

Thanks for being patient everyone, just a quick Thor post to get the ball rolling again :)

Lexcorp Bulding - Metropolis - United States - Midgard

Thor's large frame barely fit in the Lexcorp elevator, built for the exclusive use of Mr Luthor the elevator had been precisely measured to the dimensions of Lexcorp's CEO and had quite a disorientating effect on other occupants. Thor felt on display in the glass box and was not certain he enjoyed the sensation.

His journey from Khandaq had taken hours, long enough for him to have received a summons from Lex's thrall. Mercy Graves was a formidable woman and Thor liked formidable women. Upon hearing her in his earpiece Thor had barked a hearty laugh, anyone on the ground below might have heard it as a cry from the Heavens themselves.

"Thor, come in."

"Whence have I heard such sweet tones?" Thor had said with a grin, "Tis the voice of some siren come to tempt the son of Odin!"

"Focus please Thor," came the curt reply, "Mr Luthor wants to see you."

"Ah! Good fortune," Thor had laughed once more, "Where Lex goes, Mercy is not far behind! Have I ever told you of how I once-"

"I would imagine so." Mercy had listened to Thor's tales in the weeks after he had come to Midgard, upon realising that stories of his prowess were intended to entice her to bed, however, she had made it clear in no uncertain terms that she was no one's 'groupie'. Thor did not know the word but he took her meaning. He did enjoy the telling of tales though and regretted that there were fewer people to listen.
"Just go see Lex, he's in his office." Mercy's professional veneer had slipped in her frustration, such a familiarity would have gotten such a servant thrown from service in Asgard but Thor had let it go, she was not his servant after all and he had an inkling of what had occurred recently between the girl and her master and would not dishonour himself by calling attention to such impropriety.

Regardless, Thor had made his way to the Lexcorp building in Metropolis, just as the grand spires of Asgard were erected to celebrate the majesty and power of the Gods, mortals venerated themselves with great buildings and works of architecture. Lex took this further than most mortals by having his name etched onto the building itself, Thor found such self-exaltation somewhat gaudy but did not begrudge Lex his vanity, the man was only mortal after all.

The doors of the elevator now opened and Thor stepped into Lex's office.

Hi everyone, sorry I meant to check in and put up a Thor post today but have had a weirdly depressing day so I'm gonna get some sleep and come back to this with a better frame of mind to write, I don't wanna put a halfhearted post up because I'm not in the right mood.
