@Avenger Assembled @Gizmo Going to be out of town from the 5th August till the 13th. I'll be up in the mountains so I doubt I'll have even my spotty access by phone. If I do I'll try and post but it's just as likely I'll be completely out of range till the evening of the 13th (EST) Apologies and we'll catch up then!

Chromium moved out of sight, shifted into his humanoid form and glanced around, frowning as he realized that he was going to be charging into the unknown. The symbols and the obvious manner of the gangsters gave him pause. He wasn't sure what he was getting himself into here, tucking his bag of clothing out of sight he surveyed the scene spotting an old rusting Pontiac Grand Am he smiled, that old car wouldn't be missed by anyone he was sure. Moving up to it, keeping low and as out of sight as he could, he squatted down by it's side his fingers sliding under the rocker panels as he searched for purchase on the undercarriage. Now Chromium had many different powers, but the one he revelled in the most was the sheer brute strength he could exert. His silver muscles flexed, the scientists had mumbled on about myomer fibres and quantum energy but he didn't understand that hogwash anyway. Growling he felt his body adapt to what he was asking it, ripples of silver energy crackling across the defined muscles of his frame as in a massive burst of energy he launched the car into the air, bits falling off of it as it careened towards the door. Arcing through the air not only would it provide a battering ram to open the way, and a distraction for the guards, but as he rumbled in behind it his heavy foot falls ringing clearly as he sped up to a run, it also covered him from sight should these mooks pull guns on him....not that those would do much to slow him either. A grin creased his lips, and he was sure they were going to be learning that the hard way today.

Grapple Check: 41

I'd love to play with Dara but I don't think I can post every single.day as I have a camp trip coming up and won't have access.

The strange marked superhero vanished in a puff of smoke, tilting his head the smoke curling off of the mirror finish on his metallic skin he frowned not sure what had triggered the change of plan. Shaking his head he stepped back and breathed out a little shakely, it always struck him after the adrenaline wore off how he'd risked his life again. Yes he was tough, yes he had powers but there was a good chance the masked stranger Wadjet had something special too....but only by assuming he could beat everyone could he keep on going. At least that's what the AEGIS psychologist had told him, apparently he blustered his way through life. Snorting at the thought of that particularly annoying individual he transformed back to a car and slid onto the driving relatively carefully as he followed her instructions. Pulling into an ally near by he transformed back into a silver man, watching for a moment from the shadows counting bad guys. No matter what he always took a moment to assess what he was getting himself into, as long as he didn't lose his temper he tended to be pretty collected.

Chromium blinked, tilting his head and listening to her talk, he nodded as she explained what she wanted to do once she got there and grinned at her request,"Well....it's more like you're sitting in my arms than on my back, and steering is fine, just know I'll take over if you try any funny business. If we get pulled over it's on you...my plates are legit." His eyebrow rose at her comment and he chuckled again,"A big hero? Ooo, do I get a festival too?" Smirking, his silver lips curled sarcastically he shook his head,"I'm just trying to help a little. Normally I do work over where the Mafia holds sway but it's been getting hot over there so I thought I'd try and work a little this side. Not very welcoming to Superheros here in Bedlam, you know?" His smirk faded as he processed her words,"What do you mean your neighbourhood, you a ganger too?"

Chromium looked the masked stranger up and down as he chewed up the one gun and took a bite on the second, his silver eyes starting at her for a moment,"I'm trying to figure out who is behind all of this crime that's going on locally, but I'm kind of sucking at it, maybe you can help me and I can help you." He paused and stamped on one of the other guns, crushing it under his weight and then held out his hand,"I'm Chromium, what's your name?" Once the introduction was over he smiled,"So where are we going and what are we doing exactly? Just smashing the place up or trying to catch some of them?"

Chromium flexed his silver arms, smirking as the car slid to a halt, walking casually up to the car he watched the masked person working although his eyes narrowed when the Uzi fell to the floor. Having watched enough movies to know how this worked he moved a little quicker grabbing up the gun and taking a bite out of the front of it, chewing on it as he ripped open the back door with the other hand hauling out occupants and taking their weapons from them as he did so, gathering up a pile of things he planned on disposing of but he didn't expect a question from the masked person. Frowning he chewed on the barrel a little longer and then swallowed, his eyebrow raising slowly,"Sorry, buddy, I have no idea what you are saying...I'm afraid I don't speak Spanish."

Sorry, a misunderstanding on my part I didn't realize I was up.

The Silver snakes slithered around the Omegadrone, wrapping it firmly as Black Mamba immobilized it and started hovering lower and lower till his feet touched the ground, he kept the Omegadrone up in the air preparing to start to beat it into unconsciousness even as he looked around to see the others. He had several advantages for this kind of combat, not least of all he only took one of his arms out of commission while he restrained the Omegadrone. His servos whined as the snakes tightened as he landed, power being redistributed to them as he no longer required the flight. ++Akhona, we're going to need a way out of here for the civilians, can you see anything?++

If you decide to open it up to more let me know!

I don't' have as wide a choice as the others but I'm open to using anyone of my three. Dara and Mamba are the ones in Freedom City but if it's low PL then Chromium is happy to come along

Black Mamba Freedom of Bureaucracy Crack the anvil Dara Tiagara Chromium Cultural Competence

Depending on how heavy the dumpster is I might need to use Extra Effort to get it over Wadjet's head...but I figured it would be pretty cinematic And very likely to stop a car.

Out the corner of his eye Chromium saw the car coming, guns ready, and realized that the woman in the mask was about to be run down, shot or both. Growling he grabbed hold of the dumpster next to him, silver fingers creasing the side of the dumpster as he lifted it and with a grunted,"Watch out!" he hurled the dumpster through the air trying to get it to land between Wadjet and the car hurtling towards her. He was positive the car would have to stop with a dumpster screaming along the tar towards it, and then he could deal with the thugs. He felt his metallic muscles ripple as he hoisted the dumpster, it was heavy but he was hoping his enhanced muscles were up to getting it over the extra distance. Even as it flew through the air he left his trench coat floating to the ground as he started towards Wadjet, he needed to make sure she was safe before he stomped this idiots. She was just a kid in a mask with a paintball gun!

How far is the car and how far is wadjet? And can I tell who the target is?

Notice Check 26 And there we go. At work so likely no post till tonight or tomorrow.

Chromium was reaching for the oldest of the Furies when something went whizzing past his head confirming he was not alone. His silver eyes flickered up to where the woman yelling at him was crouched and he shook his head...what was that? She was all dressed up in some kind of fancy costume, clenching silver fists he tilted his head and frowned,"What are you? You trying to be a hero with your...." He glanced at the weapon she was pointing at him, then back at the smoke and the acid sizzling away on the sidewalk and frowned,"Paintball gun? Really?" Cursing he turned away,"Now I have to start over...damn it. I was so close." Mostly ignoring the armored woman he walks over to a nearby ally and pulls a large duffle bag out of a garbage can and starts pulling clothing out, starting with a dark colored trench coat.

Even if it was a critical, thought that would do more damage? Opposed Grapple

Chromium cursed, coming out of his speakers of his radio as he did so, as soon as the last girl was out he started shifting. Letting the smoke cover his rapid transformation he reached for the oldest girl, attempting to at least capture one girl he could question as he did so he realized the smoke was not from some fluke but meant there was someone else causing trouble for these girls. Shaking his head, his body completly silver and sculpted like a statue of a man made from chrome he glistened as he emerged from the smoke ready to capture the oldest of the female gangsters.

The Porsche had been put there by a whiteboy, although perhaps a silver boy was more accurate, and technically he was the Porsche. Chromium was sitting watching the girls shaped as the Porsche 911 he was bonded to, he even had the keys sitting in the cupholder and the doors were left unlocked. He didn't want them to try and damage him, but he did want them to get in and drive him to their chop shop. He was 'investigating' one of the many crime rings set up by the Mara. That said AEGIS had refused to teach him anything about working a case, or hunting down criminals, no he was too young he had to go to Claremont and learn to control his powers. Well he hadn't, but he had learned to control his powers, and now he was out doing good in Bedlam...or at least trying. So here he was, sitting in the gray gloom that was Bedlam's weather, a set of Porsche keys in his cupholder, his doors unlocked and four juvenile criminals slowly building their confidence to try and break into him. He struggled with patience, and it was all he could do not to turn the radio on, but he sat and waited....very impatiently.

Sounds good! @Avenger Assembled

Always happy to play with others. It gives me connections for other games! @Ari

Well I still need something for Chromium to do if you have the time, @Avenger Assembled
