Well... given that nullify isn't Luke forte, he is gonna try to hit with his spectral dragon claws. Enhanced Strength 10 (Feats: Accurate 1, Affects Insubstantial 2, Improved Critical 2 [18-20], Variable Descriptor [blunt/piercing/slashing]) [16PP] 13... but apparently he isn't that great at hitting things either hehe... Hehe is it me or does it feel like in this thread everyone has been having terrible rolls recently ?

26 for Luke's save... Almost there, but given that he needed 19+ to ignore it I definitely don't mind (hehe I really need to update Nightscale btw PL 9 him would have succeeded)
-
So what's next?
-
"Yeah... not bad..." Luke nodded absentmindedly at his rommate. On any other day, the prospect of a generous amount of junk food would have definitely gathered his interest, but this time, well, there was a more pressing issue at hand. A date. Dinner and Movie out with Muirne. Next Saturday. Awesome on paper, but there was only a tiny bit of a problem. He was broke. Well, more broke than usual. Like, pocket change broke. The hard earned cash from his summer job had finally ran out and truth was, well, finding a new part-time gig to raise more had proven too be more of an hassle than he expected. I must be the only broke dragon in history. Not many were eager to hire a kid with a criminal record and who between school and superhero stuff didn't exactly have much of an accommodating schedule. Of course he knew of a way or two to raise some cash quickly. But neither were exactly moral and his new principles prevented him from using unsavory mean. Perhaps I can bum some from Leon. Wouldn't that be like... well... just outsourcing the crime? His friend did have a way more cavalier outlook after all. El maybe? Yeah interdimentional refugees were usually loaded weren't they? Plus he hated the idea of being in debt anyway. The young man was still immerse in his thought when he sensed the commotion. Whatever. It was time for some action. It was coming from a bank or some other businessy place down the road. Hey maybe if I help they will let me keep some cash... Not likely though...

Students: Nightscale: Friendly neighborhood dragon, born dragon, but spent most of his life as human, he is a former gangster turned superhero. Would Like to Meet: Anyone truly, some magic superhero would probably be nice for him.

"Touché." Luke chuckled as he admitted that it was a good comeback. "Somehow I don't think that's how you use it though." He remarked playfully. "Sorry, not gonna happen, too much of a night owl here." Annoyingly enough he didn't have a dragon pun for the situation. Lame. Whoa. Woah. Woah. Definitely not startled by the newcomer. Not at all. Obviously. Luke threw a puzzled glance toward Burt, but then bowed his head slightly to the newcomer Was he a local superhero? Must be right. "So magic hockey sticks. Cool. Cool... Got a few tricks on my own too, you know?" Luke grinned, before inhaling profusely, golden light surging from his chest and his eyes as he unleashed a wave of dragonfire to surround the crime scene. Or so it seemed at least, truth was, there is no way he was gonna risk using his flames in a crowded street, it was just an illusion, one that hopefully could be more convincing than words in defusing the situation.
-
Luke gently squeezed Muirne's hand. He was there for her, plus she was stronger of whatever darkness dwelt in her, that he was confident about. "Dunno, doesn't it make it sounds like we are kinda of noobs?" Luke shook his head, looking thoughtful. Admittedly though, they were scrubs at the superhero business, but it was not like he was ever gonna admit it. "I mean a battle name should be kinda scary, I mean put fear in the heart of our enemies, yadda, yadda, yadda." That was perhaps more of a 'gang' name idea though, admittedly. "Plus we are all badasses here." He grinned, turning to face his girl.
-
"Hey what the hell are you staring at mate?" He belligerently shouted at the guy as he noticed the furtive glances that he was throwing him. He clenched his fists, after checking his pockets if anything was missing. Bumping on someone was like, the oldest trick in the book, he would have really felt ashamed of himself if the guy had managed to get something. Not that there was much to steal in his pockets, admittedly, but that wasn't the point. Then the stranger begun pushing his way past the crowd. Yep, there definitely was something wrong going on. Luke couldn't tell what exactly, but he didn't like it. "I'm going after him." He darted away, barely registering Bernadette's words. A baseball supervillain?! Sick people. Great!
-
Luke will also check if the man had done something strange just in case, 19 I guess nothing. I think I should play his more impulsive side a bit more, so he is going after the guy that bumped on him. If he can't see him anymore he can try to track him by scent (although I imagine that in a crowded mall it isn't going to be easy).
-
"Deal!" Luke smiled, leaning closer to Muirne for a kiss to 'seal the deal', gently holding her in his arms. "Although, I'd be honored if you also join me in a game or two." He switched to a playfully formal tone as he grinned at his girlfriend. "Besides, it's gonna be f-" He was about to add something when a stranger pretty much crashed into him. "Hey watch your steps you-" He concluded the sentence with a couple of colorful words. Now, no more than a year before, he would have probably made a bigger deal even over such a minor slight, after all as a young gangster respect was pretty much everything, but today, he was with his friends (and more importantly with Muirne) at the mall and definitely didn't want to ruin the positive vibe.

Still up for it too myself
-
"Code-what?" Luke grinned at Charlie from his hiding spot as he surveyed the scene. Gangsters with supertech, no biggie, at least it wasn't demons this time. Still, this new guys were definitely in need of some ass kicking. You know... keep the streets clean and so on. His eyes peered into the darkness with ease, unfortunately there was little they could catch from so far. Well, better wait for the "reconnaissance team" to be back with the news of what was inside. In fact, the young man had waved a good luck to Simon not long before and for now was content to just observe. "I can make a bit of a distraction." He offered to Callie, when she asked for strategy, there was a grin on his lips, a devilish one at that. "I mean it will alert them that something is wrong, but we can get them to come out and play on our own terms." Yeah or keep their attention away from the place where they were actually going to attack. Although admittedly anything he made with his powers won't show on a camera or other surveillance gizmo they might have, so yeah there was that...
-
For a moment Luke wondered if those test subjects he was facing with dragonfire have themselves being innocent people one day, hopefully though, that was not the case and unfortunately there was little he could do about it, for now at least. What if they could deal with Creepshow though? Yeah, that might put an end to it. So the young man charged through the room, calling on his wings to propel him past the minions and on top of the masked maniac. It was a shame perhaps, but it was all for nothing as the dread doctor could easily move away from his path.
-
Luke shook his head trying to clear his thought after Holly's onslaught. He tried not to inhale more of the mist, with little luck, but at least this time it didn't seem like it was hurting. The same could not be said about the crowd however. So again, the young man did his best to try and disperse the venomous gas (or whatever that was), using his wings. It was not enough. Hopefully his companions would have better luck in containing the fiery redhead.
-
Sorry I posted this late. Anyway on Luke's turn the Secondary Effect of his Dragon Breath will trigger giving another 23/19 TOU save to those hit. Then if he can find a clear path Luke is going to charge Creepshow at hit him with his claws (and miss, because of course... 11 total)
-
Well Luke has his wind generating power out, so I think he might try to nullify Red Mist influence on the crowd With try being the key of that sentence... with a 13 meh...

Nightscale 10 = 2 PP Freedom Fallout 2 Old School Spirit 2 First and Ten 3 Team Talk 2 Stinger Tale 1

Luke lowered his eyes a little when Leon the time on the streets. For him it was different though, after all, while the Landers household was far from wealthy, they never really lacked a roof over their heads and time that he himself spent on his own was only due to choices he was definitely not proud about. "Yeah, I had powers already though, can't imagine how it would have been for you man." He shook his head. "But yeah if you need anything just ask ok?" "Anyway... how was being a cat for two hundred years? That must have been something..."
-
"Hey, tell me again when you have to feed 12 K lbs of pure muscles." Luke chuckled, flexing to show off his muscles. Now it wasn't exactly the truth, after all having the real appetite of his true form would have been kinda hard to satisfy, but still he would have to admit that he had always been a big eater... "Besides I have two perfectly sized snacks here..." He gave his friends a hungry kind of grin, before playfully nudging Leon. "... don't worry I'm not too hungry." He chuckled. "For now..." The young man ruffled the hair on the back of his neck. "Well... library could be nice." His voice though wasn't exactly enthusiastic though as he gave his girlfriend an imploring look. "What if we check if the arcade is still open..." He suggested.
-
Luke raised his head from the lunch that he was still enthusiastically devouring to give Muirne a bit of a worried look, as he saw the shadow dancing around her. It felt like... she was somewhat wrestling for control against it. A matter that perhaps they will need to discuss. Not at this moment though, there was no need to bring the argument in front of everyone else, especially if it was something that his girlfriend wasn't that willing to comment about. Quietly he offered her his hand if she wanted to squeeze it from under the table. He shrugged when Chaz mentioned their missing companions, after all he had already seen people come and go at the school and while he was surprised at first, he had realized by now that the life of a superhero in training was an unpredictable one and that anything can come up at any time. The young man chuckled at his roommate teasing. "I mean, too much learning stuff all in one place, it's unnatural." He joked back. "Yeah definitely, we are freackin' superheroes after all not Cas babysitters." He nodded at Chaz's words. "Plus, I mean, we can't let him define us, or how we are gonna go with our future." Yeah and indulging petty revenge by abusing his powers was definitely something he was proud about from his pre-Claremont life. "No way!" He playfully shoved Leon from the chair nearby. "I mean, Dragon's crew could be nice though." He grinned. "What about Defenders though? Or Guardians?"
-
Thanks god the flight went smoothly. Luke kept double checking the unconscious form of his friend the whole way, clutching him carefully in his claws, mindful not to hurt him more. We are going to fix you buddy, don't worry. There must be something that the people at the school could do right? After all the faculty was all made of freakin' superheroes. "Yeah." He nodded as he hurried to follow the headmistress toward the infirmary. "This his Matt, he is my friend..." He sort of introduced them. "He was... Well... Gangsters shot him and he got hurt bad..." Yeah and it was his fault. "but not like, turn into a cyborg kinda of bad, he was recovering." Or at least that's what he hoped. "Someone did this to him." He added, pointing at the robotic parts. "It's like, like they can control him through the implants, made him try to attack Judy at the demonstration before.... Ashley knocked him down... I hope he isn't-" The young man lowered his eyes. "Can you help him?"
-
"Nice." Luke replied dryly at the mention of the things they were going to wait for them. "They are like nostalgia demons." He chuckled. It was somewhat funny that he himself was a creature of the 'old world' after all, wasn't him? Well as far as he knew his species was common whenever he had been snatched from. "Whatever that is we are gonna kick their vengeful asses to where they come from." He added confidently. turning toward his girlfriend and smiling at her. Finally there they were, a part of town that, honestly speaking, the young man wasn't very familiar with, a bit too fancy to be honest, although he could appreciate the 'spooky' vibe a bit, given the whole, overlooking the graveyard thingie. Whatever. It was time to slip back into superhero mode which meant keeping his eyes open...
-
"Yeah... plus it's nhot jhust that..." Luke added as he chewed through the last bite of his burger. "I mean, I definitely want to stick it to Cas..." Although admittedly it was annoying to think that Cas got that idea before they did. "But it's also cool to kick ass when you are with friends." He grinned. Not long after his eyes shifted toward his girl. *Or with something more than that.* He smiled softly. "And the way I see it, we are stronger together anyway... " Yeah compensating each other's weaknesses. "I'd have probably burned down the whole museum if it wasn't for you people..." He shrugged, yeah, luckily his friends and a now free from Cas's influence Muirne had managed to make him reason. "It'd be like bein' in a gang." Yeah not exactly. "I mean to do good though."
