There was a lot to take in for the young super...person? And a lot of it resolved around his 'mentor' speaking very, very rapidly and he titled his head at the introduction clearly mouthing the one name 'Sekhmet' and then she turned into a lion, if anything that got his attention more, but the red head spoke and he tore his eyes away from the lioness sniffing the turkey he still had a large claim on and focused on her and then flickered back to the lioness just to have it turn back into a rather delightfully clad human. There was a number of feelings flashing through Chromium's head but in a very short amount of time, for a slightly smitten 18 year old, his cerebral functions started back up again and parts started to flow together as he mumbled to himself,"Lady Horus...Set....Sekhmet....." He moved back to his seat, his silver body causing it to strain a little under his mass, reaching up he scratched his chin thoughtfully before looking at Sekhmet with much more focus and clarity,"So are you super....people too?" He remembered in time that Anna never refered to herself as a super hero if she could avoid it, and something about the way the red head and the lion girl interacted made him think they didn't either,"And did I miss the Egyptian theme party or what? We got Horus, Set, Sekhmet and Wadjet...is it compulsory for us to pick a myth to name ourselves after?"

Delta growled, frustrated, kept his position in cover, looked over at Zip and frowned. That did not look healthy, if only he could heal him! The telekinetic powers of Delta were just starting to grow, and his instincts pulled inside of him, focusing his mind he reached out a golden beam - the utter reverse of Nihilus Energy flowed from his hand towards Zip intent on healing him and setting things back to the way they should be...but they were still new powers and he wasn't used to them! The tree next to Zip was caressed by the beam and sprung several new leaves, looking healthier than ever!

Going to spend one of those HP on changing his tele-kinetic array into the following: Healing 10 (Extras: Range, Restoration Flaw: Others only) It is a full round action, requiring an attack to hit....And Hits AC 11...which I suspect is a miss...fortunatly I can use it again next round if I don't get attacked too badly!

Chromium opened his mouth to retort, being at that age where arguing was more important than facts and actual thought when a knock sounded at the door. He shoved one last mouthful in, before looking at everyone realizing that being the 'newest' recruit did have a few disadvantages...door duty was one of them. Sighing he swallowed his food without the need for further chewing and slid his chair back rather noisily. Another exasperated sigh left his lips before he made his way to the door, grabbing the handle he made sure to turn it very slowly, Nicci would be horrified if he tore the door handle off and so he watched his hand very carefully till the door was half way open and then lifted his eyes up only too see something that literally blew his mind, not one but two ladies of more than average attractiveness one of which at least was dressed in a way that left little for his young mind to imagination. His eyes were fixated on the pentacle and the flesh beneath, his only saving grace was the fact that his eyes were solid silver and had no iris, but his solid silver mouth hung open gaping for just a moment till the shorter woman spoke and he literally tore his eyes away from the taller woman and forced a smile,"Ahhh, ummm.....hi...I suppose. Can I help you?" At least say your name idiot! Well at least his mind was kind of working,"I'm Chromium......"

Chromium's silver eyebrow rose slowly at her name for him and he chuckled,"Warboy? Well, that's a new one...." His words trailed off as she let her hair loose and he spent a little time studying her features, it wasn't that she was unattractive on the contrary, it was just something was off about her. Reaching up he scratched his silver chin, looking over his shoulder at the 'dark paladin' he turned back to find her perched on the car hood, a 100 pounds? He'd eaten things that weighed more than she did, smirking at that thought he tilted his head slightly,"You like being cryptic, so I'm not even sure if asking questions will help. What's making you hunt these people? Are you being paid or are you being forced?" Yeah, subtlety was not the silver man's strong point.
-
His face brightened as she mentioned an ability to teleport and then he chuckled,"That's fantastic, let's do something different then! On the count of three we'll teleport into the room with the artifact and the two 'bozo's with any luck we can take them down before they make a noise and simply grab the artifact and get it to safety. Sound good?"
-
Delta shook his head, shaking free the last of the images of what Ether had done to himself, without the mental distraction it simply allowed him to figure out what Ether could do to others! His fingers folded away, and his arm opened up into the massive cannon, he refocused it again the same way he had when he fought Zip's robot, with a shimmer he teleported behind some cover reaching around to fire at Ether, a focused blast of red Nihilus energy slashing through the sky towards Ether. "Fight fire with fire, I believe the humans say...let's see how that works out for us."

Stun Save, DC 15, +1 for second round: 20...pass Assuming I can act immediately going to shoot at Ether...Power attack 3. Hits DC 26 for DC28 toughness roll And toughness drain...that's not good.

"We were meant to be replacements, it's not so much conflict as sycophantic fawning, my maker was trying to make the next big thing after Omegadrones to win his way into Lord Omega's good graces....my escape hopefully stopped that.", he didn't reply to Steve's comment on his English, he had nothing but time and a high speed computer in his head and masses, and masses of you tube video's to run through, he could name more 'cat stars' than he cared to remember, but his databanks did that for him. He ignored the domestic chatter between the two of them till she asked a direct question, his large mechanical eyes irising open and shut a few times to focus on her,"I've had free will for about 3 years....but there isn't a lot of places to go when you are doing all your work along the Terminus frontlines. It was only in the chaos of the Invasion being turned back that I escaped and then they were shut out, sent back to Terminus, at least for now." Her last question made a small smile curl his lips before he focused the large bulbous, almost chameleon like eyes on her and chuckled,"I don't need them, and I doubt they would fit. My eyes can see in many spectrums, and can adjust quiet nicely to normal light changes, thank you."

Delta held up a hand receiving the drone and leaning forward whispered the locations of the six men, and where the artifact was before looking at Ms. Bright,"You want to give me to the count of thirty to get inside and then take out the guys on the perimeter? Soon as I'm done with the two inside I can come out and assist you, sound like a plan?" He paused realized he had made an assumption, one he shouldn't be making,"The glowing hand was perhaps not all your powers, you can handle being shot at by Automatic rifles?"
-
Black Mamba was surprised at the strange smell and sound, not sure whether it was the inside of the suit or something else, to be safe he scanned the area with his radar and wondered where the young lady was who was supposed to be going to the toilet. He hoped she was okay. Akhona on the other hand froze at the radio call, frowning she radioed to the others ++Following a signal, we've disrupted one attempt, but there is a second enroute. Will touch base as needed.++ With that she guided the Rat Copter into the air, following the van at a height it would have trouble spotting them in the night to see where it went and what she could listen to with the Rat copter's scanner...this could prove dangerous but she knew Mamba was a short flight away.

I already did....or I thought I did.

The psychic power he was using was a last resort, something he used hesitantly, carefully and there was a reason for it. His damaged brain was sensitive, all the metal parts stuck into it did not mesh as well with psychic power as they could and when he was forced out of Ether's mind the backlash slammed into Delta like being hit in the head by a heavy weight boxer. Delta reeled, staggering back a step and swaying slightly as he tried to reorient himself, memories and thoughts that were not his swarming his mind as it tried to get everything seperated between what was Delta and what he had seen in Ether. His force field flickered around him, and he tried to throw himself into cover but he was clearly not able to do much else at this juncture as the experiments that Ether had performed on himself flashed repeatedly through his mind, over and over and over again.

Crap, I do want to react, mostly because I also have to roll for the side effect of my failed mind reading.. Which I failed, rolled an 8....so by 7, dazed sounds fun! I'll roll again when it's my turn to try and shake it off, but first a post!
-
Initiative: 6 so feel free to have Ether start the roasting process!

Delta lay there, looking directly at the ceiling, totally ignoring the cameras but listening to Miss Americana's voice as he nodded,"Not my first rodeo, I'm going to be just fine, promise." Her question caused a small curl of his lip, and it was not a smile, a deep breath and then he spoke,"First thing I remember, something pretty similar to this, my body was adult, I don't remember anything before but it was clear that there was life before being Delta, I don't remember any of it though." "The first few years were a blur, I was under some kind of mind control, I fought for Lord Omega. I killed, I had a squad, my brothers. All named similar to me, and we took out the opponents of the Terminus....." He stopped, looking up at the lights and sighed,"Then I was hurt...bad, out in a far away place and I got some modifications. My arms, my head were repaired...but using a new metal. That's when I started to work my way loose from their control...slowly, but surely."
-
A large silver eyebrow rose slowly, between bites through the bone of the drumstick as she let loose with a mini-rant swallowing rather loudly he snorted,"Oh, and you think you doing better?" Grunting he gestured to the sky, for some reason,"And you think stopping the Terminus invasion, twice, was dancing for the stupids? You be saying that if the Omega drones were pushing you into some kind of processing plant or something? Yeah, real stupid...saving us." Picking up his fork he started shoveling sweet potato casserole into his mouth, mumbling around the food,"What have you done to help more than that? All the soup kitchen's in the world ain't going to help if we're slaves of the Terminus?"
-
Delta shuddered, he had felt the power in his fist and Ether just shrugged it off, he watched as the Professor flew off stuck in a monologue. A thought occurred and he felt almost sick to his stomach, not just from the evil that oozed from Ether's words but the very thought of what he planned to do to stop the evil that was Professor Ether. "There is no place in the Universe for one as evil as you...you have to be stopped.", he dropped his hands to his side and focused his mind, his diodes stopped flickering as he drew power from the computer and there in the weak, flesh part of his body was the psychic power that scared him and gave him powers that concerned him. None more than the one he was using at this moment, his mind reached out to Ether's and tried to steal control of it. There was no option, he had to stop Ether, and he had to stop him now.

There was a blink and death and destruction visited this plane courtesy of Nihilus energy, the Terminus left nothing untouched. There was no time for philosophy, no time for thought about whether his Nihilus energy would lead him to a similar fall? No it was time for action, he gave Lulu and the scientest a shove to get them out of the way then flickered, right next to Ether and his flickering blue flame and struck out his massive fist smashing into the temple of the Professor intent on subduing the man driven crazy by Terminus energy. Pulling back his fist he prepared to continue to pummel the professor, expecting this to be a tough, tough fight. Nothing powered by Terminus Energy would go down easy.

Jason, who almost exclusively went by Chromium now a massive frown creasing his face if anyone called him by his real name even if he had let it slip a few times, was eating...or more like EATING. It was the one thing that Anna, Nicci and Esperanza had seen on more than one occasion is that he ate with immunity and without discretion as was evidenced as he took an entire turkey drumstick and was very methodically devouring it meat, bone and gristle in it's entirity even as his other hand ladled another helping of sweet potato casserole onto his already full plate. There would be no left overs if he wasn't almost forcibly stopped, and they had learned this the hard way. He was a literal bottomless pit as his body simply converted whatever matter went into his mouth into more, and more of the strange liquid metal he was made of and he got more and more dense. He and Esperanza were perfect companions, when not glaring at each other, at the dinner table as neither of them had any interest in talking...at least until Chromium had finished off all the food, that was when the questions would start. He was very inquisitive about...well...everything to do with super powers, getting them, learning more and finding bad guys. He was not so big on normal conversation...which meant that Nicci and Anna could speak as much as they wanted while the food lasted.

The HUD in Delta's field of view lite up, scanning Ether as he gloated and sighed,"The question is into what? And how much control do you have?" Delta watched in dismay as Ether backed off the spearmen and frowned,"Let's hope they don't have a Shaman who wants to banish the 'Demon'. You may not be the only one with powers in this realm." It was becoming clear that Ether was a problem, a large rapidly growing problem, but for now Delta needed to study him and figure out what the solution to that problem was.... Looking at Zip he shrugged and then back at Ether,"Can you contain your 'energy' we need to get answers out of these people, and I'm not sure if you are very good at languages, or are you?"

ic SOPHie's Choice : Between a Rock and the Deep Blue Sea
Tarrakhash replied to Tiffany Korta's topic in The Realms Beyond
The problem with the modern day was the easy availability of information, any body who spotted something could film or photograph it, and moments later share it on the internet. And someone with Delta's capabilities certainly kept track of things that would be termed odd, say a spaceship hovering over Liberty Park. The longest part was getting here without attracting attention, now he moved through the park. His cloaking device allowed him to move unseen, even if it did mean he had to walk and walk he did. Stalking silently through the park he closed on the ship. He paused though as a gentlemen, for that was the only word that could fit someone clothed like Lord Steam, strode towards the ship. Frowning, his own rather recent incursion into the Victorian Earth dimension left him a little weary of such smartly dressed men, he slid forward interested to at least see what this 'Gentlemen' was up to. There would be no more uncontrolled dimension hopping if he had anything to do with it, but hero-ing wasn't always about what you wanted, that was for sure.
