To be honest, Luke wasn't exactly enthusiastic at the idea of running away and letting the 'adults' take over. "Come on guys we can take them." He protested, as far as he was concerned they were good enough. Then again the innocent hostages were the priority right? "Ok fine." He relented, plus, well, there was the matter of Leon's friends not needing to be there when the police actually arrived. "Just this one time." He teased his friend, throwing him a playful nudge. Now of course, Luke could fly with his own power, but Owain's way was subtler. Plus he felt he had showed off enough for the night. (Yeah that definitely was a lie, but still...) So he joined the rest of the team and felt the weave of magic wash over him. "Sqawk..." He 'commented' once the spell had taken hold and his form had been reshaped into one of Raven. Neat. He bowed his head to the young knight and followed suit into the night sky. Now flying as a small bird wasn't exactly the same as when he did so as a very overgrown lizard, but then again, at least he didn't need to bend the laws of physics to be able to stay afloat right? It took him a while to get the gist of it, but ultimately, the young man enjoyed the flight.

That's was why... Luke mentally facepalmed for not having figured that out in time when Neko pretty much outed Owain in front of the whole team. "Yeah definitely count us in to be around for him." He smiled. "I guess it might be even harder for someone born in the actual middle ages..." Not that they lived in a perfect world now, quite the opposite perhaps, but then again, better than the age of witch burning and inquisitions was not exactly thought to beat. The young man laughed and played along as his friends kept going with their dares. Encouraging clapping and grinning from ear to ear during Carmen's performance. He gave a puzzled look to Neko when she started to sing as well, but still he did not interrupt, preferring to listen while scratching the hair on the back of his neck. Uh ok... When the bottle spun again it was his turn to pick up an 'unlucky' target and his choice fell to Bernadette. "Ahh sweet revenge." He grinned, looking thoughtful for a moment. So what is it truth or dare? Truth: Dare:

Luke grinned as he realized that it was his turn already. "Dare, of course." He replied confidently. "Let us look through yer phone fer a minute." "Sure." He fumbled to find his definitely obsolete (and barely working) phone in the pockets. Was there a tiny droplet of sweat durnning down his brow even if he still pretended to be calm about it? Perhaps.... Now one minute wasn't much, but it was still time aplenty to dig a bit into the dragon boy 'secrets'. ---- 54 seconds left on the clock --- "Hey Lulu!" Luke's little brother's voice saluted the boy using a nickname that the seventeen years old would have preferred was kept in the family and was quickly followed by a tirade of childish back and forth between the two (one that perhaps was expected by a kid barely in his teens, but definitely embarassing for a seventeen years old superhero). ---- 42 seconds left on the clock --- Then of course there was the endless stream of cheesy romantic messages with his girl... --- 33 seconds on the clock --- "I think that we can skip my search history right?" He tried to object the vast majority of it was just what one would expect from an hormonal teenager. Although a few tutorial about various slow dances were also there, perhaps a bit more surprisingly. --- 25 seconds on the clock --- "I mean I had to practice somehow. Ok?" And yet the sound files of Luke trying and failing to produce an intimidating dragon roar were definitely cringy enough... --- 18 seconds left on the clock --- ... Not that the unfinished videos for his tick-tock channel were much better... (Especially the unpublished fumbles and mishaps) --- 5 seconds to go --- Phey we are almost done. "That's not what it seems" There was definitely a reddish hue on the boy's cheecks as he tried to explain why he had a bunch of selfies, clearly shot in front of a mirror at the gym, where he posed for the camera while being very much under-dressed. --- "Uh ok..." Luke ruffled the hair on the back of his neck as he secured the phone back into his pocket.

Now very few people would define Luke as a theater kid, not that he minded the attention of course, yet his presence was perhaps more likely on the soccer field than on the stage and yet, there he was, planning to audition for a role on the school play. And failing that, well, maybe some of his magic tricks could help out setting the mood or something... After all, it was pretty much free credits right? Plus, the seventeen-years old wasn't really above trying something new anyway. Not knowing exactly what to expect, the young man hadn't picked anything more than his trademark sweatpants and t-shirt (with ripped sleeves of course) combo, completed with ballcap and sneakers. "Hey." He saluted Rosalind with a friendly smile.

This took me a bit more than I expected. Combat is over for now. No need to keep tracking initiative, go ahead in any order you like.

Fiery Fury struggled in Horrorshow's grip for a short while, but it didn't take much for her to realize that there was little she could do, outnumbered and with her partner already down. She bowed her head and surrendered. "I yied..." She snarled angrily. There was a chorus of cheers from the crowd, although, it wasn't hard to notice the protests due to the the shapeshifting hero betrayal to finish the fight. Still, it didn't look like the ringleader seemed to care, after all, it had been an impromptu fight and by its nature it had very few rules. "Looks like we have our winners!" The Mistress of Mayhem shouted from the stage. "But the night is still young boys and girls. Plenty of mayhem still ahead!" She continued playfully, as the ring of fire that surrounded the makeshift arena grew of intensity, erupting a barrier of smoke that concealed the heroes from the eyes of the crowd. Ms. Nagi quickly emerged from the barrier, unimpeded by the flames, together with a small squad of her gorillas. "This has been a interesting diversion for sure... And you do know how to fight..." She smiled from beneath her cobra mask. "But now, I am wondering, who do I owe the pleasure of this interruption?"

"Got it... I mean, it's not like I have to eat like an actual bus-sized lizard either..." It was pretty much supernatural stuff, magic or otherwise. "Well... almost..." He chuckled. "It's a pretty cool gift though." He smiled. The abadoned rail yard fence had never really been an obstacle for Luke even before getting superpowers and certainly it wasn't one now that he could easily jump over it without breaking a sweat. He snatched a bottle for himself, thanking Neko with a bow of the head and a mischivious smile. "Cheers people!" He clinked his drinl with whoever wanted to. "Now what to do... what to do..." He looked around. "I mean it's not like we can just drink out the night... and we do have an empty bottle or two... I mean... we are gonna to in a moment..." He added, not before chugging through his own bottle pretty much in one go (the perks of having the stamina of the aforementioned bus-sized lizards). "Spin the bottle?" He suggested. (OOC hehe I dunno if the game is called like that in English, or it's just something like "truth or dare")

No need to roll, I think they are beaten. Will post IC soon

"I can see you..." Luke whispered, his stare still vacant, his mind overwhelmed as internally he struggled to recover his bearings. Leon's words couldn't reach him, although he was barely aware of them, like if they echoed from worlds apart. He did however, feel the slap, or at least, the gesture was strong enough to divert his attention from the golden disk. "Hey..." He lamented, his smile however,s uggesting that he was grateful that his friend had managed to free him from the spell. Chewy clacked excitedly, and gave "What the hell..." He had little time to assess the situation however, as the ground stirred again underneath their feet. There was no doubt that the creature below was awakening now while Luke was no longer in sync with its tought, he could swear that it was pissed. "F..." The boy jumped backward, barely avoiding a pile of treasure from one of the collapsing structures. "Run!" They dashed away blindly for a few feet, but it was like trying to outrun the ocean, while standing on it. It was a struggle just to stand up. Luke's heart raced madly and with it, the rhytm of the cave did the same. His eyes had began to glow of a golden glow. Strangely enough, the young man found himself invigorated by the experience. "Maybe..." He stopped on his tracks. "There is no way we can make it on foot..." He added, as he dug as deep as he could for his power, the one that had eluded him for now. There! "Yeah!" He half shouted, half roared triumphantly as he managed to grasp enough of his essence to change. Molten obsidian seemed to melt on his skin as he grew into his draconic form. Tiny, perhaps, compared to the creature below, but with his bat-like wings unfolded.... Maybe, it would give them a chance. "Jump up, man..."
-
"Or by the end of the night..." Luke chuckled. "Chaz has a way of knowing things." Luke shrugged. "Maybe the alcohol will compound?" Luke chuckled at the thought, when Bernadette mentioned the risk of getting her duplicate some drink. "Do they need to drink or eat by the way?" He asked "Railyard it is then. Are we ready to get Wasted!" He continue enthusiastically, a big grin on his lips as he lead the way toward their destination. Now of course, getting a dragon properly wasted was no easy quest, but he was confident that by the end of the night they will succeed.

The bluff at 29 succeeds and the grapple as well, despite rolling a 27 Horrorshow succeeds. It's @Avenger Assembled Neko's and Owain time to capitalize on the attack 19 - The Gentleman (Ko) 18 - Fiery Fury (grappled) 14 - Neko (no damage) - 2 HP 13 - Owain (bruised) 11 - Horrorshow's (Bruised) - 1 HP 4 - Chimera (bruised) - 3 HP

This time Fiery Fury restists with a 23 against the stun. You can post IC if you like @Spacefurry
-
Btw for the sake of simplicity I think that you can all go in whatever order you like @Avenger Assembled @Spacefurry @Dr Archeville I'll run the surviving villain once you are done

"Neat." Luke grinned as he saw Neko and gave her a playful high-five, while wondering what Owain would think about their little 'victimless crime'. Whatever. It was late at night, in Jannuary, but that hadn't prevented Luke from keeping his regular, sleeveless white t-shirt and faded jeans combo, together with his battered sneakers and ballcap. Perks of being a supernatural creature in disguise, the risks of catching a cold were limited at best. "Did you get everything?" He snopped at the pack of goodies that Neko had managed to get from the liquor store. Himself, Luke was no smoker (well... not exactly), didn't fit with his pre-superhero ambition of making something of himself through sports, but certainly he did not disdain a drink or two. "Awesome." He smiled at Multi-Girl. "Besides, It's not like anyone seeing us is gonna be a problem." He added, with a cocky grin on his lips, yeah, with their combined powers, it was not like a stray cop was exactly hard to bamboozle anyway. "So where are we headed people?" He continued enthusiastically. Himself he had a few places in town that he knew were going to be free to hang out and if push comes to shove, he could whisker everyone to his own private pocket-realm, although, well, getting shit-faced while within his own mindspace, yeah, weird things could happen.

"You know, if Leon doesn't want them..." Luke grinned. "I know a few people who can use some..." That included himself of course, but truth was, if the a billionaire classmate had some cash to burn, there were definitely more than a few of his neighbors that could have definitely benefited from some extra dough. Cool. Luke chuckled at the icy boy choice of words. Then again, the rest of the conversation wasn't exactly as enjoyable. "You know man? We were newbs last year too, that's how life works..." He shrugged. He listened to Leon finishing the story. Yeah makes sense. He threw a glance at the door though, wondering how was Wilona's faring in Carmen's care. Unfortunately he had no way to know until either of them came back. "That depends is she hot? This invasion leader..." Luke joked after listening to Holly's scenario. Juvenile perhaps, but he was a teenage boy after all (and Muirne wasn't around to hear him). "Seriously though, if that person is trustworthy... I mean, like not gonna take me home and then invade anyway... I'd do it and figure out something from there." The young man added. "You know... turn on the charm." He grinned playfully. "And if that doesn't work... Unlikely, I know..." He paused for a moment for dramatic effect. "It'd still be saving lives and I bet I can make enough of a mess to stop the invasion from inside."

What the...? Well the wall seemed to be effective right? Not sure if it was gonna last forever, but at least it cut off the small army of supervillains. "Good job" He grinned. Now, it only left Bear-Knuckle who seemingly capable of shrugging off his claws like nothing. Perhaps, though, Neko had a good ide to try to trick his mind instead. So Luke focused his will and tried to project a sense of primordial fear into the villain, the terror of being stalked in the dark, by an unseen predator, a beast of legends from time immemorial, hungry... He threw a glance toward Artificer, but the other boy didn't seem to have anything specific planned for him, so whatever, his attention shifted to the conversation between Leon and the two strangers. Although, given what he knew of his rommate, those two weren't exactly strangers weren't they? "So you know these guys?" Luke smiled at Leon. "Let me guess... you guys must be Lon's sis and bro's right?" He nodded at them. "I wish we had more time to for introductions, but..." He chuckled as he pointed toward the crack in the wall.

Ok Nighstcale is gonna use his emotion control power to help Neko terrorize Bear-Knuckle as his claws aren't doing much hehe. Emotion Control 9 (Feats: Mind Blank, Subtle)

Both are hits, the first bruises the Gentleman again with a 21, however Owain managed to get him down with his sword and he collapses on the ground as his power no longer keep him afloat. You can post IC if you like @Avenger Assembled And you can all go again as the villains can't do much else for now. Fiery fury can only clear the daze. 19 - The Gentleman (Ko) 18 - Fiery Fury (bruised) 14 - Neko (no damage) - 2 HP 13 - Owain (bruised) 11 - Horrorshow's (Bruised) - 1 HP 4 - Chimera (bruised) - 3 HP

Luke kept staring blankly into the massive gold disk, the rhythm of his breath now fully synchronized with the wind howling among the underground vault. Oblivious apparently of what was transpiring around him, he didn't seem to mind Leon's finger snapping in front of his eyes, that now had shifted themselves to match the golden haze of the monster's giant pupils themselves. Even when the 'ground' under the boys feet began to shake, he didn't seem to notice. Chewy turned to face, Leon (although with no eyes, it wasn't exactly easy to figure where the creature's attention was focusing) and it gave the teenage supererò a curious, worried clack. Now, Leon couldn't be certain of it, but it felt like the creature beneath was stirring again, perhaps, a bit too much, what if it was about to awake? A powerful weave disturbed the 'ocean of gold', almost making the boy lose his balance, a tower of coins had collapsed just a few feet from them. Luke again, didn't register it, in fact, he seemed now capable of keeping himself perfectly steady on the golden surface, locked in place, not unlike his gaze.
-
Well... there was... that... Luke winced as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. "I guess we should go check on her?" He looked at the teacher expectantly. Was it an excuse to get out of class early, or was it genuine concern? The answer was yes... "Uh ok..." "I didn't know you had that kind of effect on girls man..." He teased his roomate. "As for your case... I dunno man, that poor orphaned fat wad of cash, who am leave it alone?" He grinned playfully. "Or bring it to the cops? No way... It's going straight to my neighbor." He added confidently. "Besides, we should do what we could to help right? We are freakin' heroes after all." Although to be honest, he was a bit less secure in his answer when Leon followed up with Neko's suggestion. " What if you were poor and needed that money to get by?" Well, that wasn't exactly an hypothetical for him, wasn't it? And in truth his family could always use a few more dollars, especially wish a little 'bro who had big dreams, but would he steal to get them? Again? "I don't think I'd keep them anyway." He lowered his eyes, wondering if he would have managed to follow through with his words if this was the real world.

Fiery Fury is dazed by the attack Well I imagine that winning the fight might give you the chance to get in contact with the masked and the rest of the group that runs the fight club. Fortunately you seem like you are doing ok. As for doing so, it seems that the gentleman might be the weak link at the moment.. That @Dr Archevilleif you also want to toss a suggestion, that considers Horrorshow plan, feel free to toss one. 19 - The Gentleman (bruisedx3.) 18 - Fiery Fury (bruised and dazed) 14 - Neko (no damage) - 2 HP 13 - Owain (bruised) 11 - Horrorshow's (Bruised) - 1 HP 4 - Chimera (bruised) - 3 HP

"Billions? Woah..." The boy found himself wondering how Naomi could be so casual about having so much money waiting for her. "Got it, no cats..." Luke chuckled at Neko's teasing. "Well I do have one as Luke, but it isn't gaining that many followers..." He looked thoughtful for a moment. "plus Nightscale can use his own channel..." Yep and one separate enough that connecting the two should not be easy. "Hey I can make one on overgrown lizards with attitude." He joked in turn. "A bit niche perhaps." He grinned. "Yeah I guess that things were rougher back then." Luke ruffled the hair on the back of his neck, as the conversation shifted to Owain's upbringing. For himself, well, he had always thought of not having things easy when growing up, but then again, there were definitely much rougher situations around the world, even among fellow supers. He found himself nodding though, when Natalie suggested that not much had changed however, since the time of lords and serfs.
