"Hey nice to meet you man." Luke chuckled and smiled sincerely as he saw Simon transforming into a cat and back in front of his eyes. Now he was a shapeshifter himself in a way so perhaps he should have been accustomed to these kinds of things, yet he couldn't avoid to be somewhat amazed anyway. "And woah, three hundred years old? I mean aren't you a bit too old for school." He teased. "You must have a lot of stories." He grinned. Admittedly he did know someone else that came from ages past, even before the time when Simon was apparently born, in fact, he was actually dating her, yet as far as he had understood it, Muirne hadn't actually lived through all these centuries. "And like the other said... don't worry you'll see plenty of strange around here... Although no-one I know have been a cat for so much..." He frowned and gave Owain a puzzled look when it was his turn to talk. "Not seem what to be what ?" He shrugged. Whatever. The young man grinned again at his roomie's words. "Yeah I really am too big for this place." He chuckled, his eyes did flare of golden light though. He did offer James an "Nice to see you too mate." Even as he saw the young man shy away a little. Whatev- "One from the future two from the past. We got all bases covered." He grinned, at least himself and Leon were from the present (well, he wasn't exactly sure admittedly given that his egg could have been snatched from the past as far as he knew, but then again, good enough.) "'So are you guys enjoying the 21st century?" Then he turned to face Leon. "I guess we are gonna show them around a little..." The grin on his lips suggested that perhaps he did have some mischief in mind on the matter.

Luke was late, which of course wasn't exactly unusual. As for the reason why... Well saying goodbye to his family (that lived just a few miles away), after the summer spent back home, proved to be harder than he though. Now, obviously he wasn't going to share that information with anyone of his fellow students though, especially Leon that would probably tease him forever if that was the case. So instead, he strolled in with confidence as usual, in sweatpants, an athletic shirt, a red faded ballcap, carrying the large backpack with pretty much all of his possessions on a shoulder. "Hey, what's up noobs?" He gave the newcomers a playful smile once he noticed the small crowd of kids in the hall. "James, my man. How is it hangin'?" He grinned and gave a strong (but not too strong) pat on the back to the kid he had met during the orientation. "Luke here, for those that don't know me already." He introduced himself. "Your friendly neighborhood dragon. " "Hey roommie... Showing off already I see." He chuckled, giving Leon an high five as his eyes briefly followed the small origami swan that was now flying around the room.

That was... a weird question wasn't it? Now Luke wasn't particularly religious to be honest, but then again faith is not exactly an easy matter when you are a supernatural creature (and a teenager at that). "Nop, nothing wrong with that..." He tossed a quick reply. "How come? I mean, where are we going exactly?" Fighting zombie in a church maybe? That would have been pretty metal. Luke chuckled at the idea, picturing al album cover with a black dragon fighting hordes of rotting undead with a stained glass window as a background. Yeah definitely. "How far is this place by the way?" He added shortly thereafter. God I must sound like my little bro.
-
I was wondering, is there a way for the students to actually contact the school in case of troubles? Or at least alert someone that you are coming in a hurry and carrying someone who is hurt?
-
Luke nodded, giving his friend's unconscious form another worried look. "Sure thing. I'll get him there." Ms. Summers will know what to do for sure. She must. The only thing now was managing to bring his friend there safely (and hopefully before the angry cyborg could wake up again). "I owe you one too." He tossed hastily at the end, already darting out toward the school, gently holding his friend's unconscious form.

"Wait... We..." Too late, apparently Holly was also a villain, or at least pissed that they had taken down her brother which all in all was somewhat understandable, himself he would have been pretty pissed if someone had knocked down his own brother. That said, yeah, the guy had just managed to send a partying crowd into an insane frenzy so better stop empathizing and get to punching. When she exploded for the first time Luke wasn't fast enough to avoid breathing in the gas (which by the way was Holly? Ewwww?), but at least his enhanced stamina was enough to shrug off the poison. He wasn't so lucky when she did so again, momentarily blinded by the blood covering his eyes the young man could just stunble around the room confused and in pain.
-
Reflexes: 21 / 24 Fortitude to avoid the stun. Reflexes 2: 9 , 19 Tou... Nightscale is dazed so I guess he is gonna skip.

Of course Luke was furious with Cas and with the fact that despite everything that had transpired he was still around at school. I mean freakin' mind controlling Muirne. The thought was enough to make his blood boil. Then again, that was definitely no reason to waste a good meal. In fact, the young was going through his burger and fries at breakneck speed, as usual, after all the appetite of a teenage dragon were pretty hard to sate (not that it was much better before he discovered his true nature though). During the past few days, he had done his best to stay close to his girl, after all, as infuriating as it might have been for him, she definitely got the worst end of the deal being subjected to that creep influence. He was sitting close to Muirne and had planned to go on a date after their were done with what Charlie had to say. Speaking of which. Chaz had asked him to call Leon too. Sure why not. His roomie was a friend and he was sure that he could help with the Young Freedom situation (besides, it was not like Leon had any love for Cas and his gang himself). He wasn't sure about the reason of the meeting, but truth was, he wasn't totally oblivious to the possibility of it being to form a new team. "Yeah, let's to this." He had replied enthusiastically at Nevermore's suggestion. "Hey you are ok?" Luke turned to Muirne after her colorful response, although worried, he would have to admit that emphasis had made him chuckle a little.

Woah things escalated fast didn't they? Luke was about to turn toward the big guy, but was startled when both him and Shooting Star crashed through the floor. One down. For now at least. He wondered if even the other subjects were just victims of the mad scientist. But truth was, they didn't have the time for an heartfelt conversation. Not now at least, with their lives at stake. Besides the room was a perfect setup for his dragonfire wasn't it? The young man took a deep breath, as golden light begun to shine in his chest, raising quickly upward toward his neck. Finally, he exhaled a cone of golden flames, bathing the abominations in fire. Luke smirked, when he realized that only one of them managed to fully evade it.

Most of the times Nightscale didn't patrol at Downtown, after all, the least he could to for his community is to focus on Southside safe while he wasn't busy with school, but then again, knowing the whole of Freedom City was gonna serve him well in years to come and besides, the idea of jumping from roof to roof among the city tallest buildings sounded fun, all things considered. So far tough, his exploration had been kinda uneventful, not that he was craving to meet some criminal of course, but still, he could have used a distraction. So when he noticed a streak of energy in the air he quickly rushed to investigate. It didn't look like they were criminals though, in fact Luke had already met Shooting Star. "Hey!" He saluted the two, smirking playfully under the mask of his makeshift costume. "I did not expect the skies to be as busy this late at night, you know?" He chuckled. "Nightscale at your service." He introduced himself.

"I got a knack for finding my friends." Luke grinned, yeah it was a less creepy way to say it that something like 'I can track what's mine'. Wasn't it? "So yeah, you are screwed." He joked. "There is no way out of the tour with me around." The young man chuckled. "Freedom Eagle and Onyx. Cool. Cool." "I know the feeling." He grinned, when Angela mentioned growing wings and claws. "You did great in choosing to come here, by the way... Myself I didn't exactly use my powers in the smartest ways at first." He lowered his head a little and ruffled the hair on the back of his neck. "Yeah, it's kinda like that. Safer that way. Plus hero names are cool." Luke grinned. He was about to add something when the other joined with them. He smirked at Leon once he saw his roommate approaching. "Show-offs." He teased as he waved at the newomers. "Sup girls?" "Yeah, one and only. And you must be Naomi and Wilona... Nice to meet you two." "Now we are supposed to show you around. Dorms, cafeteria, library, all the boring stuff." He shook his head. "Although the latter kinda had demons summoned there once if you are in that kind of things." He casually tossed chuckling. "But you can look at them from above.... So that we can get faster to the fun stuff..." He added shortly thereafter as golden light begun to pour from his eyes, his body shifting and growing in size, as molten obsidian scales begun to cover his flesh as Luke transformed into his draconic form. "Now. Anyone needs a ride?" He stretched his wings and lowered his head to let anyone who wanted get on his back. Obviously there was no need to change to give them an aerial tour, but what was the point if he could not show-off a little himself. "Then I think we can show you the battle simulator?" He tossed, turning toward Leaon. "I mean so that you can all get a change to show off your powers, It's pretty cool, I'm sure you're gonna like it."

"Hey.... you didn't need to.... F-" Sure Matt was attacking them, but he still couldn't take seeing his friend being pounded like that. Still, perhaps there was no other way. "Stop! It's still... It's still Matt!" Yeah and he definitely didn't need a concussion, or worse. Unfortunately, busy as he was keeping hold on the cyborg "Nah... I'm ok..." He replied shortly thereafter as he leaned in to check Matt's conditions. Please be alright! Please be alright! "We need to do something for him. I can fly him to the school." Yeah, someone should be able to help. For sure. "Before anyone else arrives..." He tossed a glance toward the unconscious form of U.S.Archer on the floor.

I think that Nightscale is gonna use the occasion that his friends are not yet grappling with anyone to use his dragon breath somewhere where he can catch as many of the monsters as he can (and if he can include the master too he would love it) Damage 8 (Extras: Area [Type: General; Shape: Cone; Size: 80ft], Secondary Effect; Flaws: Action [Full]) [16PP] It's a DC 18 reflex save and then 23/19 TOU save for the damages. His illusion will drop since he can't use his action to maintain it anymore.
-
The young man nodded, at his girlfriend words, yeah, it would made sense that a mage would check if he had been treated like a fool. That said people with power... overconfidence wasn't exactly scarce among them. (the fact that it frequently applied to him as well of course, eluded Luke for now). "Got it. Can be worse than just zombies." Luke shrugged, still feeling confident however, after all, his hide was pretty tough against magic... "Anything else we should know?" He tossed shortly thereafter. The boy's gaze met with Muirne as he smiled reassuringly. Don't worry we can deal with this. He leaned a bit closer to her and offered to squeeze her hand.

RETURNING STUDENT Name: Luke Landers Codename: Nightscale Year: Junior Pronouns: He/Him/His Current Intramural Team: Grey Squad Current Roommate: Leon Moore aka Paper. Reflection: Luke likes this new person that he has become in Claremont, using his powers for the sake of others and not just himself, becoming more of a team player, finding that special someone. All in all he can say that his first year of school had been great and he plans to continue on that path. Independent Thinker: On the other side, he feels guilty that he can't always be around his family and friends from his previous life. He is feeling like he is leaving them behind and living this high, exciting life while they are still struggling with their own troubles, mundane or otherwise from his best friend being turned into a cyborg against his will, one of the local gangs unleashing demons on the streets, his little bro missing him... He wished he could have been there more for them.

Sure there were a ton of things he would have better spent his time with during the summer, but to be honest, Luke didn't mind as much meeting the new students. After all, there was always the chance of meeting someone fun, plus, it was an occasion to show off a bit and that was definitely something he wasn't going to miss. Now supposedly, it would have been more appropriate to welcome the new recruits while wearing the school uniform, but well that wasn't exactly his brand. So instead, he got there casually dressed, in a sleeveless t-shirt, gym shorts and battered sneakers. Sure maybe he was a bit disappointed not to find everyone there, but truth to be told, the game of rock-paper-scissors with Leon by itself was enough to set him on a good mood. Too easy. Luke chuckled after his rock earned him a more than deserved victory and smirked as he waved his friend goodbye. "Sooo... what's up scrubs?" Luke grinned playfully. "Luke here, probably better known as Nightscale." Well it was not like his super-hero identity was actually that well known, but whatever. He mentally shrugged. "And you two are?" "Cool to meet you." He smiled. Giving an intrigued look at the winged girl. "So why are you both in?" "Nahh..." He shook his head at James suggestion. "That would be boring, wouldn't it?" "Let's see..." Luke closed his eyes for a moment, trying to concentrate, a faint golden light radiating underneath his eyelids. After all, the two girls were supposed to be under his responsibility right? Should be enough of a link to find them with his powers and even if that didn't work, well he could definitely track Leon. "There..." He grinned, pointing toward the library.

10 great... well he tried...

Do I have to roll something for it?

14 for Luke!

"Nothing. I'm perfect just the way I am." Luke grinned, although it was mostly bravado used to conceal the horror he really felt for the scene unfolding in front of him. Now perhaps he wasn't exactly a saint himself, but this? How many people had the 'master' twisted? Like he had done with the big guy over there (One that ironically perhaps was named exactly like one of Luke's best friends, himself, turned into a cyborg against his will). "Mat." He turned toward the brute, as if to console him. "You haven't failed. You don't need his approval. You are a good guy. He is a freaking monster. Help us out ok?" Hopefully the big guy was still affected by enough of his magic that he would at least listen to Luke. Himself, he clenched his fists and braced for a fight. He did not however, let the illusion go. Maybe there was still something to be gained out of it.

Back off before I make you. That wasn't Muirne wasn't it? Cas. He was really doing it. Now, perhaps he should have thought about how to actually beat the Young Freedom, or that they were infiltrating a museum with priceless relics all around perhaps, but truth was, he couldn't. All he wanted was smack Sebastian hard enough. He could barely register Chaz presence nearby, but he definitely ignored him. He darted out of his hiding place. The plan was simple, he was gonna plant his fist into Cas' mouth until he relinquished his control. "Let! Her! Go!" He half shouted, half growled. His eyes burning bright into the darkness. Before he could get to his prey however, a massive figure stopped him in his tracks. Come on Chump. Now, truth was, Luke didn't really hate the guy, in fact, as far as things went, he knew that Sebastian had mislead him and anyway, he was only protecting a friend, in another situation he would have felt sympathy for him. At the time though. Muirne was his girl. Cas was hurting her. That was all that mattered. "Get the hell out of the way!" He aimed his claws at the big guy and he almost had a sense of satisfaction when he felt them strike true.
-
Well... While I was thinking that Nightscale could go for something a bit more creative (I dunno, make an illusion to try and confuse the Young Freedom into attacking each other) I don't imagine that Luke is gonna be able to think very tactically here, now that he is sure that is definitely Cas messing with his girl. His first instinct would be to try and somehow protect Muirne, but then again he has no way to fight Sebastian's mind control. Except by punching him unconscious.So he is gonna try that. Is Chump in the way? Otherwise Nightscale will charge Cas. To hit 23 (taking +2 to hit and -2 to defense due to charging). Save DC is 23.

This can't be happening! Come On! Unfortunately it was not a nightmare, they were fighting his friend. Luke hesitated for a second as he saw Watchdog going at Matt. It was enough though to let the blast of energy that came out of the cyborg hands to hit him in the chest. He struggled to keep stay on his feet, as his body was inundated with electricity. He couldn't even imagine what would have happened he was a normal human. Fortunately though, he was anything but. He gasped as he saw Ashley attack his friend. Maybe I should stop her. No way, that was nonsense, given the situation. First thing first they needed to subdue Matt. Still fighting to shake off the dizziness from the discharge, Luke went again after the cyborg. This time, he pretended to try and headbutt it and when whoever was controlling his friend tried to dodge, Luke swerved at the last second, instead, locking the cyborg in a grip as strong as he could muster.
