"I've dealt with...things like that before." Wonder's handsome face is shadowed as he studies the fallen ground. "This was a foot-soldier, a spearman. They don't show their faces unless they've been summoned...or unless they have a lord planning on invading our world. They're kamikaze; the more of them we kill, the more power gains their god. Until..." His big hands clench into fists again. "The sky falls. We need to find their passageway on this end of things, the road they're using into our world. You have to stop these problems at the source." He shoots a glance at the Irishwoman, not even blanching as she cusses. He's met plenty of women who weren't ladies, and of course the Irish are usually just that way. "If you know something about arcane lore, I could use your help in dealing with this...and you, Star, light is a powerful weapon against this sort of fiend."

Arcane Lore check; do I know (who was) that demon-guy?

Wonder rubs his fist thoughtfully, looking down at the place where the demon once was. "I did what I could, Sergeant, just like those police officers did." He turns in the air, his cape fluttering behind him as he looks over the new arrivals. "I don't think I know the two of you." Ra's Champion doesn't bother to introduce himself.

"Thank you," says Wonder honestly, feeling a little bad for lying to this eager young man. It's not his fault that seedy characters have been doing unsavory things with his company and its intellectual property. With the papers under his arm, he thinks for just a moment. "I'll tell you what, Darren. When I finish with this, I'll come in and we can talk about re-establishing the authorized rights to the adventures of Captain Wonder." He smiles and shakes Gizotti's hand firmly.

"Don't worry," Wonder tells him comfortingly, "I'll do all I can to find how she died, and what this Valkyrie had to do with it. I swear this for you." He thinks hard, drumming his fingers against his table. "Can you give me everything you had on Rose? I know you have certain confidentality agreements, but I'm sure most of those are null and void with her death. Starting with what you have will give me a great advantage in getting to the bottom of this mystery."

All-Out Attacking for +5 to Attack, once again dropping my base defense down to 2. Toughness Save DC is 25.

Stupid, thinks Wonder irritably as he flies above the range of mystic blasts and gunfire. Watch and pay attention, he firmly reminds himself, you're not some punk kid. He watches as the demon bleeds and staggers back, and moves in for what he hopes to be the knockout blow. "Fall, you vile fiend!" Drawing his fist back, he hurls another earth-cracking punch at the demon.

Okay, well, let's add: Languages: Old Norse, Latin, and Greek Captain Wonder can converse with the Norse and Greco-Roman pantheons in their own language.

...you know, I can't really think of a good explanation. You're right, it should have a better explanation. Instead, I'm going to sink that point into the Language: Ancient Egyptian...because Captain Wonder should be able to speak the language and read and write hieroglyphics.

Using All-Out Attack and Power Attack to punch the demon really hard, then using Move-By Action to hopefully prevent any tagbacks.

This is not the first, nor the tenth time that Captain Wonder has overheard a gunshot over a major city. Still, his heart beats faster at the noise, his hands balling into fists as he dips lower over the rooftops of North Bay. Fred is up way past his bedtime, and like many an old man in that situation, he's feeling awfully cranky. When he peers through the darkness for the source of the danger, he's ready to do some damage. At the sight of the demon, though, Fred's irritation rapidly turns into the fire that burns the heat of Captain Wonder's anger. "MINION OF APEP!" he booms, his cape fluttering behind him against the night sky. "FACE THE POWER OF RA's CHAMPION!" He flies down, a golden blur flickering in the moonlight, and throws a steel-shattering punch at the demon's face! He's up again a moment later, flying just out of the demon's reach.
