Thevshi

Seemingly out of the blue, Daedalus contacted Velocity, Emissary and Raindance regarding the dangerous, teleporting robots they had fought on Halloween. After the three heroes arrived at Freedom Hall, Daedalus informed them that he had managed to track down two possible sources for the robots and needed them to go investigate both locations. The trio was joined by Valkyrie, the heroine Velocity had worked with a couple of times in the past. Emissary flew one of the Freedom League's Pegasus jets out to Arizona to drop off Raindance and Velocity so they could investigate an abandoned military airfield, while he and Valkyrie headed into space to investigate a space station that was the second possible source for the teleportation signal of the robots. While looking through the hangers on the base, Velocity and Raindance encountered a pair of killer jack-in-the-boxes. When one of the toys managed to stun Velocity for a moment, Raindance interceded and managed to keep the two busy while she recovered. Once back in the fight, she speedster helped finish off the pair of killer toys with a well timed sonic boom. Meanwhile, in space, Emissary and Valkyrie were attacked by what appeared to be wind-up robots defending the space station. While the robots initially had the upper hand, the two heroes eventually managed to turn the tide and cleared a path to the space station. Back in Arizona, Velocity and Raindance found a automated factory producing all manner of dangerous robotic toys, that were being teleported off to an unknown location (or locations) once they were completed. The two heroes quickly destroyed the factory and then finished their search of the abandoned base to ensure there were no more facilities there. After managing to breach the space station, Emissary and Valkyrie were able to capture the individual behind the deadly robot toys, ToyBoy. While waiting to be picked back up in Arizona, Raindance asked Velocity out to coffee (the pair had been flirting a fair bit during the mission) and the speedster had agreed, the two swapping phone numbers so they could arrange the date later. A few days after returning from the mission in Arizona, Raindance and Velocity arranged to meet up for coffee in Riverplace in civilian clothes instead of costumes. The two spent some time talking and getting to know one another.

Following the new year, Megan attended a fundraising dinner for prostate cancer research that was hosted by Jonathan Grant of Grant Conglomerates. During the dinner, Megan had a chance to catch up some with Grant's oldest daughter, Sarah, who had been in the same year at North Bay Academy as Megan's older brother Jason. Also among those present was the Emissary, whom Megan had worked with a couple of times as Velocity. Wanting a little break from heroing, and tired of always going to the underage Midnight Hour, Megan decided to use her money (and looks) to take a little trip to the Millennium for a night of dancing. It was after all one of the poshest dance clubs in the city. While there, the teenager ran into Duncan Maguire, the famous NASCAR driver, who had spotted her out on the dance floor. Though Duncan was a bit worried when Megan admitted her actual age, the pair spent the evening talking and dancing together.

Could I get the following added to Velocity’s sheet please: In-costume Description: As Velocity, Megan wears a skin tight yellow bodysuit with checkered racing strips up the sides of her leg and torso and continuing down the sides of her arm. She also wears yellow gloves and boots and a small utility belt in which she carries a few things, such as marbles which she throws at supersonic speeds. In addition, she covers most of her head in a matching colored mask that has her face exposed. To further conceal her identity, a brunette wig extends out the back of the mask in a ponytail. Hi-tech, mirrored goggles over her eyes and the upper half of her face. Updated by Barnum

Yeah, that picture was more done to show what the main part of her costume looked like that what she completely looked like in costume. I have worked a bit on an full version, but never finished it. I’ll get a in-costume description added to her sheet to prevent future confusion.

Velocity had fully expected the duplicate Johnny to move first, but as she realized she had the drop on him, she decided not to waste the opportunity. Streaking forward, her fist shot forward at his jaw in an attempt to carry through with her last comment.

Wow, actually amazed I won thye initiative :)

Heritage, I would point out a big error in your posts about Velocity. In costume, she wears a brunette wig.

"Actually, I do." Megan replied with a smile when Mark asked if she was able to think super-fast. "I really would have to in order to compensate for moving so quickly, otherwise I likely would smash into stuff. It also makes studying a breeze, though I can't go full speed, or I'd tear out half the pages in my textbooks." She then shrugged slightly. "Things can seem kinda slow at times, but luckily I can pretty much 'turn off'my speed, otherwise I likely would have gone crazy by this point with things moving so slow." She then focused back on Mark. "So what's it like being able to control the weather?"

Finals sminals. Seeing as Velocity can get five hours of studying done in less than a minute, she tends to have lots of free time I'll try to think of some ideas on how/why they could meet up.

"I certainly enjoy it" Megan replied. When they reached the front of the line, she ordered a lowfat peppermint mocha. After they had taken a seat, she shook her head at Mark's question. "No, it has mainly been trial and error for me." "I have been invited to attend Claremont. But," this time she looked slightly embarrassed, "my parents don't know about my powers, so wanting to transfer from they private school they have me at to Claremont would raise too many questions. Sides, my powers are not exactly that difficult to get a hang of."

"It wasn't all that bad." Megan replied with a shrug at the reference to her injury on their last mission. "I'm a cheerleader in school, and despite what people think, bumps and bruises are not uncommon." They made their way inside and to the line to order coffee. Megan let go of Mark's arm, but still stood next to him as they talked.

"Hi." Megan replied, her voicing sounding a bit different than it did as Velocity (as she was not talking quite as fast as she did in costume), as she gave a reassuring smile. "It wasn't too bad. Hope you haven't been waiting too long." She kept the smile in place as he blushed at his statement that could easily be taken the wrong way. "Sure, coffee sounds great." She said, taking his arm in the hopes that might calm him a bit. As she stood next to him, she said, in a bit quieter voice. "My name's Megan by the way."

JoT, I would be up for something that could have your character meet up with Velocity, which could be a bit of fun (seeing as they are both teenage girls ). Not sure right now what that could be though. Will try to give it some thought (though I am kinda in the middle of finals right now).

One would think one of the fastest people alive would never be late for anything. But today Megan was not Velocity, at least not in her costume. So she was left to the mercy of traffic as she sat in the back of the town car she had called to take her from North Bay to Riverside to meet Raindance for coffee. Megan was still slightly unsure about meeting him outside of costume. While he did not wear a mask, she did, in order to better maintain a secret identity. But she did know she could trust him, after all, they had worked together a few times and relied upon each other to watch the other's back. In fact, he had protected her when one of the giant jack-in-the-box toys they had fought a few days ago had dazed her for a few moments. So today she was not wearing the skin tight yellow costume (with checkered racing stripes) and the mirrored goggles that helped serve as part of a mask. Though, the expensive dark blue designer jeans she was wearing were about as tight as her costume, and her red cashmere sweater was hardly loose fitting either. Only the white down jacket she was wearing was in any way bulky, and even that was cut to be form fitting. She rather doubted Raindance would easily recognize her, particularly given the fact in costume she wore a brunette wig, that stuck through the back of the part of the mask that covered the back of her head in a ponytail. Today her naturally blonde hair was held back by a few carefully placed barrettes in order to keep it out of her face, but still be somewhat casual. The town car finally pulled up at the block where the coffee shop they were meeting at was located. Telling the driver she would call when she needed the car again, Megan climbed out of the back and started looking down the street for the coffee shop. It was a bit warmer than had been predicted, making her wonder slightly if Raindance might have something to do with that. At that thought, she spotted him standing out in front of the coffee shop. Smiling slightly, she started down the street in his direction, looking out the corner of her eye to see if he might take note of her or stay focused on trying to spot a brunette.

Given that the last Heroes for the Holidays thread was around Christmas time, it is likely still Winter during this thread, so Velocity will dress accordingly Her jacket:

That's good to know. I think its probably about time for initiative rolls. Velocity has a url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1580322]49.

“I think that’s what Lady Liberty calls you.†Velocity replied, keeping her composure cool despite the fact that she seemed to be in some trouble. “And if she was here, I’m sure she’d smack that grin right off your face. Since she isn’t, I guess I’ll have to do that.â€Â

Velocity looked up at the massive construct of gymnastics equipment as Envoy mentioned what their work out would involve. She smiled slightly as she looked back at the silver man. “Okay, that looks like it could be fun. Though, I would mention I had a good amount of gymnastics training before I gained my speed, and have only gotten better.â€Â

Velocity looked at the jet that touched down for them. “Yep, that seems to be it.†She said in agreement, though she knew she could get back about as fast, though she might make a few wrongs turns and end up in Dayton Beach. Though, that might not turn out so bad. She then heard him mention getting together for coffee and looked back over him, regarding him for a brief moment (which would have been very brief to him). She smiled. “Sure, that sounds nice. We’ll have to do that sometime.â€Â

Velocity looked at this man dressed as Johnny Rocket, and who seemed to move as quickly as he did and tensed slightly. She did not know where he was looking at her certainly was out of character for the other speedster hero. “Thanks.†She said flatly at his lewd comment about her costume. “If I were you, I would clear out of here, for Robert and I were just on our way to meet up with some members of the Freedom League that are upstairs and bring this operation down.â€Â

“Alrighty then.†Velocity replied at Daedalus’ response. She then looked over at Raindance as she said. “There seems to be lots of waiting on this one.â€Â

Confidence was not something Velocity was lacking in (either in or out of costume), and she quickly spoke up after Captain Wonder finished translating for Legionnaire and gave some details about himself. “Velocity at your services.†The young woman said with a wide smile. “I’m probably among the fastest people on the planet, and I have tough more than a few villains not to underestimate me.â€Â

Velocity pulled her arm free from Legionnaires grasp as she gave him a slight glare. “Hands off please.†She said, then adding, “Don’t know what help I can give with translation, Captain Wonder speaks Latin, not me. But sure, I can try to help some. Now try to keep up, I’ll go slow.†With that she was off down the hallway in a flash, stopping a short distance down and waiting for the others to catch up before continuing on until they reached the hallway where Emissary was waiting.

Velocity looked up at the banner that was hanging from the ceiling and grinned. “If I did not know better, I would ask if you were on the Homecoming committee in high School.†She then focused back on the silver man. “Okay, I’ll try to get them moving then.†With that, she was gone again. A few seconds later she was back to the rest of the group. “I found Emissary, he is waiting for us by the Wreck Room.†Velocity said.

“The factory is destroyed, but we have no idea where the toys were being sent.†Velocity replied to Daedalus’ communication.
