GM It didn't take Prudence long to arrange transportation to Germany. A Danger plane was ready at the nearest airport a few hours later, with a direct flight path to Hamburg airport. A couple of bikes would be ready to get them to their next destination. In the horizon, a plane took off, heading North.

GHOST "Eh. Happens to all of us at some point," Casper shouted after Grimalkin as she disappeared into the crowds. This wasn't his first rodeo, so they just had to figure out how this was happening. Grimalkin being within the crowds just meant he had to focus a bit, making sure that he didn't make the ground under her feet swallow her along with everyone else... but at least his X-Ray goggles helped track her. With Shadowborne asking him his name, he raised an eyebrow behind his mask, not that she could really show it. Really? He'd even joined the Freedom League, and people still didn't recognize him half the time. Alright, he'd deal. "Just the friendly neighborhood Ghost." Aaand somebody called out necromancy. Great. It was magic. Casper really didn't have the best track record with magic in the first place, so of course he'd end up in the middle of something like that, and then somebody dressed like some kind of Dracula's wife showed up. Casper stared at her for a long moment, then threw up his hands. "Aaand of course it's a ghost. Any of you magic types got any idea what her deal is?"

Pan got to the dining car first, of course. Gliding past Eira, he had dismissed any errant golden dust before they made their way inside, where he was of course absolutely perfectly behaved and did not in any way make faces at any kids they passed along the way, before they found the seats by the windows. For his part, Pan let his finger glide across the menu at random, until he finally settled on the haggis. With a comment about never having tried that before, he made his order. With the waiter gone, he raised an eyebrow in response to Eira's wink and drawn out words. "Oh, do you now? And what do you suppose I must do to learn your secret this time?" he leaned forward on the table, resting his head on his hands while he spoke.
-
GHOST Casper held a finger up to silence the man. "Hush now, let her work. Gotta give the new kids a chance to learn the ropes. And you guys are perfect for that." Turning back to Chimera, he continued. "So, if you find anything, you better make sure you got the thing that you need, y'know. Can't just hope for it without checking it, right?"
-
GM "You, you can't do that!" the man shouted, struggling to move away from where he was being held. "You've already assaulted her, now you're trying to steal from her? What kind of heroes are you supposed to be?" It didn't exactly take long to search Freestyle. She didn't exactly have a lot of pockets, but she did have a hidden compartment in a bracelet on her left wrist, which just happened to hold a small USB key. "That's ours! Company secrets! Propitary technology! You can't touch that!"
-
Normally, you might need a Search roll for what you're doing, but we'll count is as an auto success since Freestyle can't resist.

"I was, uh, kinda chosen for this, and uh, where I'm from, all the borers and such kind of... blurs together, I guess? It's more a kind of global thing?" James objected to Tori's statement about them being wrapped in stars and stripes, before visibly cringing. "... Sorry, it's just... kind of different where I'm from. Heroic legacies like that are a big thing. There's been a bunch of Patriots, Freedom Eagles and... and a lot of legacy heroes like that. It" He leaned back in his seat, like he was almost trying to disappear, before perking up a bit, raising his hand. "Umm, do you... do you expect us to be suited up for this?"
-
Yeah. She can't fail those rolls, so... no dice. Give me an IC anyway.

Space Ranger III "... I could just freeze him..." J'onn offered to no one in particular while Corsair ranted and raved about his whole little thing, before the Star Knight explained. "Would a pincer attack work? Some of us go for their ships, some of us go for the bad guys and meet in the middle when they come running? I got a ship if anyone manages to get out."
-
"Ah, yes, food! And exploration!" Pan called out, pumping an arm into the sky. Where his girlfriend barelled through, he let his feet simply let go of the ground, denying gravity's hold on him for the moment, a glittering trail falling behind his feet as he slid across the floor at blinding speed, holding his arms out to the side to balance. "Cheating? Whatsoever do you mean?" he quipped as he moved besides her, turning around and putting his hands in his pockets, keeping pace with her while grinning mischievously.

GM The woman was barely moving. She seemed absolutely out of it, her eyes closed, sweating heavily. As Bernadette moved closer, it became clear the woman wasn't alone. Others were lying in the bushes in similar states, all barely conscious. Before the 911 responder picked up the phone, Bernadette heard a whistling sound, followed by a baseball hitting her hand, knocking the phone out of her hand. "Sorry, darling. That whole split team is a neat trick, but no calling for help just yet." A man in his 60'es had moved from around a corner. He was wearing a white sports jersey with blue stripes, and white shorts, ontop of a blue full body costume, with runner's shoes on his feet. He was wearing a blue mask that left his mouth and nose free, with holes for his ears and eyes, with a blue base ball cap with a stylized yellow S on the center. He had a big sportsbag slung over his shoulder, while he was throwing a baseball up and down with his right hand. He sounded almost friendly. "Run along now, no need to get caught up in all this." The other Bernadette had an incredibly hard time actually finding any security. It was like they had all just disappeared. She did, however, see someone else she recognized: A group of students from Claremont.

Leon didn't notice the man planting anything on Luke or stealing anything from him.

GM As well as Veronica could make out, it seemed like the next gem was in another country entirely. Europe, to be exact. Everything pointed towards a site in Northern Germany, near the Elbe river to the West of Hamburg. Cross referencing the area didn't reveal anything that stood out in particular.
-
Space Ranger III J'onn stared at the amulet for a few brief moments, like he had trouble taking his eyes off it, before turning to look at the tablet again, while Veronica explained. "Treasure hunt, then?" There was a certain gleam in his eyes. "So, what's the odds of you meeting those guys again?"

"Right, let's stick to recon first. We don't want them ready, if we can help it," Charlie replied to Luke's offer for Callie. "We got some kind of monitoring device on one of the third floor windows, but everything else seems clear. I can see a group moving around behind another window on the third floor, but I'm not gonna send the RVD in through the window, it'll just tip them off." Moving the drone inside, he instead moved it towards Simon. Charlie honestly wasn't sure if he could hear them while a cat, but he couldn't talk, at least. Moving the drone back to Simon, he did his best to share his plan. So... he tried to make the drone make some movements towards the building, and if Simon found a way in, it would guide him through the floors, to try to get him to head in the direction of the room with the people and weapons. Cat moving inside probably wouldn't cause too much attention, and he could, hopefully, move the drone up near the ceiling and slip inside while they had eyes on Simon. "We should get ready to strike that room. Anybody got eyes on the roof? Anything up there?"

GM The young boy looked up at Bernadetta and shook his head, barely being able to slow the crying. "M-my mum... she's... she's over there..." He pointed to some planted bushes over to the side, where Bernadetta could see a woman lying, her legs sticking out from between the bushes. She couldn't quite see the woman from her position by the boy. "Please! I think she's sick!" The boy started wailing again, while moving in to hug and press his face against Bernadetta. As the guy made his way away from Luke, it was clear that he kept stealing glances back at him, at least whenever he thought that any members of the little group weren't looking. Noticing that some of the members of the group were actively looking at him, he grinned back at them, then moved into the crowds, pushing his way through with little care for who got in the way. He moved down the hallway and turned to the right around a corner, right next to a sporting goods store.
-
Nevermore II "Sure, sure. Bookstore, then arcade. Just fine by -" Charlie was cut off by the guy that bumped into Luke. He instinctively followed him with his eyes, but didn't say anything. "Something's off about that guy." Raven's training kicked in. Looking at the guy, the way he moved, the way he had probably deliberately bumped into Luke... Yeah. Something was off.

"It does seem so," Pan agreed, while he floated up to stand, while still holding Eira's hand. "I suppose I must be doing something wrong." He made an exaggerated sigh and shook his head, as if to signal that he was giving up. His feet touching the ground, he led Eira out of their shared cabin and into the hallway. "Oooh, magic tricks!" Pan was already by the couch, poking at it gently, before looking up and around in the somewhat cramped cabin. "What else do we need? Do we need hammocks? I think we could use some hammocks." While he was speaking, hammocks in a multitude of colors began to appear around them, gradually fading into being with golden dust falling from their edges. "Yes, yes, some hammocks would be good. A bit more floor space." "So, where will our first stop be? Somewhere exciting?"

GM "Remember, no big powers!" Alexandra tried to shout above the howling wind, holding her hands up to the sides of her mouth to try to make herself heard. "Nice job fighting the wind, Wilona! Good idea with the masks, Leon! Somebody help out Hero, keep everyone together Chelone! Good spot, Naomi!" she shouted words of encouragement to all of them, making sure not to leave anyone out. She could see how Hero in particular was struggling, but at least the others were backing them up. She had accepted Leon's mask, holding it up over her face to protect herself from the storm. Professor Macedon waited by the cave's mouth, waiting for all of them to enter. The mesa itself stretched far above them, into the sky above them, a shelter in the storm. Once everyone was inside, the professor followed, directing the students to move further inside. "Alright, nice work everyone! That storm sure came out of nowhere, huh? We want to move a bit further in so we stay away from the entrance and don't get caught up in any sand that blows in if the wind changes, alright? It's gonna get darker in here, so if anybody got any flashlights or anything, now's the time!" Illuminating the cave would reveal a barren place. There was plenty of space to move around, with about double the height of the tallest member of their little group to the ceiling. Nothing in particular stood out about the cave, though it seemed to stretch onwards, further into the mesa. Anyone able to see or sense magic could see it only grew more intense the further into the cave they looked.

GHOST Fast, attacking everyone. Dragon kid had the right idea, at least. They needed to do something that could stop the girl's powers from working, something that would stop her from attacking everyone. Casper looked down at his hand. Maybe he could disrupt her, somehow? Force her to turn solid and stop being made of mist? At least it would mean the others could hurt her, too... "Watch my back a sec." He flew up, straight for Scarlet Mist and... she moved out of the way at the last second. Because of course she did.

Scarlet Mist's DC25 TOU on Init 7: 15 I'm gonna auto pass veto that with my GM powers, and give Ghost a HP instead, so Holly's still staggered, but standing. Gonna stunt Nullify Insubstantial 10 (Extras: Effortless, Duration 2 [Sustained]; Flaws: Range [Touch]) {30/31} from Ghost with the Most Array and attack with that. Spending HP to get rid of fatigue immediately. Attack: 15 That's a miss, spending HP to reroll: 23, which is unfortunately still a miss. @Spacefurry is up 25 - Purple Haze - KO 20 - Paper - 1HP - Unharmed 15 - Scarlet Mist - Staggered 10 - Nightscale - 3HP - Unharmed 7 - Ghost - 3HP - Unharmed

GHOST Ghost winced at the hit, then slowly took a step back, turning towards the man. He let his hands fall to the side for a moment, before he started to move through the room, looking at nothing in particular, it seemed. "Guy's got a point, y'know. Gonna need some evidence if you wanna call the cops. Sure, Freestyle's in here, but we did just kinda break in here. They'll be walking in a second if you just leave them with a note, y'know." He reached up to adjust his goggles slightly, though making no motion to tell Chimera what he was seeing. "So, what ya got? Lay the cards on the table. What kinda evidence, what kinda hunches?"
-
GM "No, wait! Do-!" Freestyle begged and tried to hold up her hands to defend herself before crumpling over, falling against the wall, her feet still stuck in the ground. The man looked between them with wild eyes. "This-this is assault! Breaking into a legitimate business, assaulting me and my guests! I got everything on camera! Do-do you understand this? Do you!?" He didn't sound quite as confident as he tried to.

GHOST "Bippity?" Casper replied with just a little bit of hesitation before he realized what Grimalkin was up to, his lips twisting into a slight grin as he bandages appeared all around him. "Yeah. Alright, this does look good." He decided to let the Grimalkin and the Claremont kid reconnect, while sipping his glass. Davyd? He couldn't place him at all. He really should look into any Freedom League files on the recent Claremont kids at some point, but then again, that might be frowned on? Or not? Be prepared and all that. Casper opened his mouth to offer his sympathies to Grimalkin for family health crisis. The pain of losing his mother a few years ago still lingered, he hoped it wasn't anything that bad, but... Then everything changed. Everything was black and white, angry mobs, everything. It was... "Somebody put us into one of the movies, didn't they?" Black and white didn't really do a lot of difference to his usual costume, but everything else... Casper quickly pulled his mask down to cover his mouth with one hand, then pulled his goggles up and turned them on. If this was just some illusion, then maybe... "Uh, right, so, those guys? Looks like they're really there, bones and all, not some kind of illusion." Angry mob, then, coming for them, and the kids that Davyd mentioned. He leaned down, touched the ground, making it intangible under as much of the mob as he could reach and letting them sink in into their knees. Should give them a moment, at least. "First we keep the kids safe, then we figure out what's going on, yeah?" He motioned to Davyd. "Sorry, kid, but I got no idea who you are. What do you want me to call you? Figure you'd rather we use our made up names when we go around saving people."
-
Gonna use Ghost's Snare with his Selective Area extra to try and snare as much of the mob as I can into the ground, let's say sinking to their knees or something like that.
