With one mighty blow, Wander set the gamma-powered goon to his knees, smashing the Atom-Smasher over the head and sending him collapsing into an unconscious, still-faintly glowing heap. He wasn't hot to the touch anymore, but he was still pretty darn radioactive, and it was a good thing Wander was so very tough to be standing this close to him. Over across the way, Tesla Atom and her date looked unhurt. "We're fine," she said, shaking her head, and she reached out to take her boyfriend's hand. "I've got to get back to the Nucleus. There's something really big brewing, and I was trying to get Tim out of the way." She shot a look at Midnight, a curious look on her face. "Do you know anything about Grue?"

Considerably more subdued than everyone else, Mark followed along as they headed for lunch. He stopped leaning on Faith as they went, but did absently hold her hand as he walked along after everyone else. He knew he wasn't that badly hurt; his small injuries stung, but they'd heal fast enough. It was just...well, no one had really understood. Maybe he was the one in the wrong, then. And that was scarier than falling down fifty flights of stairs.

"Pfft." Thunder was on firmer ground now. "Once _I_ tell them how Anarchy and Speed went down faster than a drunk Donna Mason, I won't be the one in trouble. We've gone to a lot of trouble to take this dimension, and I'll be damned if I'll let a pack of no-account do-gooders like you do anything about it." He focused his attention on Freedom Angel suddenly and gave a truly malevolent laugh. "Well, waddya know? I'm surprised you haven't cut Johnny Speed's head off yet, Angel." Freedom Angel gave Captain Thunder a truly stern look. "Whatever sinful reflection of myself you know, I pay him no mind. The justice of Heaven is the same even in a world corrupted by sin." "As I recall, that's exactly what you said when you stabbed Star Vixen to death," sneered Thunder in reply. "I dare you to try it in Star Island. I know Red Siren's looking for a rematch."

"Mummies are evil," said Edge with perfect assurance. "Sometimes they're sympathetic, and all, like if they're trying to resurrect a lost lover or something, but even that always goes bad." He started ticking things off on his fingers. "Like when the Freedom League fought Sutekh-Ra, the Forever Pharoah, or when the Liberty League fought Herr Set and Der Mummy, or when the..." He shrugged. "You get the idea."
-
"Uh, okay," said Mark, sounding honestly confused. "Sorry if I made you worry," he added apologetically. He pecked her on the cheek and said, "Really, I think it's healthy to eat in the cafeteria. It keeps you grounded, keeps you from just eating refined food all the time. You guys should get the burger more often."

Dead Men Do Tell Tales (IC)
Avenger Assembled replied to Avenger Assembled's topic in The Theatre District
Avenger eyed Dead Head at that. "More common than you might think." Disappearing from the top of the mausoleum, he reappeared alongside the zombie, a tombstone obscuring the lower half of his body. "Never could stand the aristocracy of the dead. Don't need a catacomb." As a wind picked up, he said, "Broke up a cult called the Necro-Kings about a year ago. Some kids found their toys and are thinking of staging a comeback. We're going to make sure they find something better to do than necromancy." -
Okay, the Avengers are in your hands: I've got nothing till we find Fulcrum. :awesome:

Avenger and Dead Head rock out.

Date: April ??, 2010. After The Dragon Wakes and This Woman's Work. The cemetery was a Gothic place of the old school, full of massive marble funerary monuments to the long-dead grandees of Freedom City's past. Heedless of respecting the dead, Avenger perched like a black falcon atop the mausoleum of the Wading family as the cold winds of an April night blew in off the Atlantic, waiting for his contact to arrive. This cemetery was about to be the center of a very nasty occult ritual, if his sources were right, but he and Dead Head were going to put a stop to that. Or so he hoped.
-
"No, I mean, I fell down before..." Mark carefully, gingerly stood up, leaning on Faith as he did so. He looked a little beaten up, but not particularly worse for wear. "And I've been hurt worse than this in super-battles. But that was...that was just so scary. I mean, it wasn't for a reason, or anything, I just...I just fell down!" He shook his head, looking at the others, not seeing much understanding there. "I'll be okay. Let's go play ball, all right?"
-
The door snapped open, just as Trevor hoped, disgorging a hard-eyed Tess Atom and a frightened civilian, a young man with short dreads and a Comets jersey on. "We were on our way to a game when Gamma jumped us," said the simulated Atom sibling. "What's the situation?" she asked brusquely.
-
Mark gave Alex an easy-going wave. "Hey, Alex! We were just showing Trevor around. He's new to the school." Grinning, he added, "I think he's going to be hanging out with us, amirite? He's a guy who knows how to appreciate the quality, and if there's anything we need, it's quality."
-
"Then go in peace, my friend, and do the work of justice and redemption tonight." He fixed his eyes on Arrowhawk and said simply, "Whatever doubts men have had of your nature, you are a man committed to justice for the wicked. Make sure you remember that justice comes from more than arrow and staff, even in the hands of a righteous man." And with that, in a flare of divine light, he was gone.
-
"Hah," said Avenger, without laughing. He walked over to Stesha's broken, fragile body, and gently scooped it up against his chest, the roots on her skin immediately sticking to his in a way that hopefully wouldn't last long. "Well, how about that? We're going to the mushroom garden in the basement," he said. "I'll be right back." And with that, he vanished.

That'll leave him with Immunity 6 (aging, disease, poison, starvation and thirst, suffocation) I'd like to spend the other six points as follows: Light Control 2 (10 feet) (Flaw Touch Range) for 2 pts The following APs should be added to his Angelic Array for 4 points: Create Object 3 (Extra: Continuous) (PFs: Innate) "The Power of Creation" Enhanced Feats: Fearsome Presence 10 "Divine Fury" Mind Control 10 (Flaw: Sense-Dependent: [Hearing]) "The Voice of Heaven" Teleport 9 (Flaw: Long Range Only) (PF: Progression 1 (250 lbs) "Divine Speed" DONE BY SHAENTHEBRAIN

The Grue Invasion - NOW RECRUITING FOR PART 2
Avenger Assembled replied to Geez3r's topic in Archives
Hmm, I'd rather not be Someplace Else with both my characters. Especially given Avenger and Freedom Angel's feelings for each other! Maybe if FA is in the West End, since he lives in Lantern Hill? -
"Hey, the food here isn't that bad," said Mark, chewing on the poutine and hamburger mix that was one of his favorite ethnic foods. "I mean, it's a little weird sometimes, but we've got students from many lands. Aw man, last year, we had International Food Day, that was freaking sweet. Until Ultiteen made her souffle. It turns out her people, wherever she's from, they don't normally eat much, so her souffle was...I don't know. It was some sort of thing." He made an inarticulate gesture with his hands, then shrugged. "Have you guys seen Faith lately?"
-
Mark felt very good, but he was also very tired and not a little sore. It had been quite an evening. "Maybe help me get back to the top?" he asked her with a little smile. "That was a lot of fun, but it was a little exhausting too. I'm sure I'll be better tomorrow after I get a chance to sleep." Sleep sounded really good right now. And maybe a shower.

Wander didn't just knock Gamma down, she knocked him off his feet and away from the plane! Smashing face first into a nearby building, Gamma staggered back, hand on the back of his neck. "Owww! That hurt!" Obviously hurt, he turned and faced the two teens as he declared, "I'm going to punish all of you for that! You too, no-face!" He fired a blast of radiation at the teens who'd hurt him so badly, the shrieking green beam seeming to scorch the very air as it rocketed towards Midnight.
-
He is bruised! That's a crit, Wander. His Aura only does 4 damage by Ultimate Power rules, so your impervious will block that even with the Crit. DC 34 Tou. Midnight is up
-
"Ow!" Gamma staggered beneath the blow, the tip of Wander's bat briefly glowing red as she pulled it back. If she left it in there too long, the radiation coming off Gamma just might melt it! "You big bully!" the hulking radioactive monstrosity spat at her. "This is all your fault! All you stupid heroes! But I'll get you!" He drew back his green glowing fist and hurled a massive punch at Wander, one that connected solidly with her mid-section.
-
A disconsolate Mark looked up at the stairs, his eyes wide and his head bloody. "I fell down," he said again, looking a little frightened. "It was really scary, and it hurt. That's never happened before. I mean, I just...I just tripped, and I went down! Ouch!"
-
"We'll be there right away. Soon as we're dressed," Jack amended. "I'll talk to you then." He hung up the phone and stared at Taylor for a moment, then hugged her, putting his arms around her and resting his hand on her stomach. "Dr. Archeville says he's okay." Jack fought back tears. "He's...he's fine. He's really fine. He's got a little magic in him or something that he wants to talk to you about, but nothing vampire. Oh God, Taylor, I didn't kill our baby!"

Within just a couple of days after Mr. Summers' departure arrived at Blake's house, the paperwork and the representative from the school arrived. Everything had been worked out, said Janice, the smiling young lawyer, to Blake and his uncle. "Now that the financial aid has been put in place, you can start at Claremont first thing Monday." It soon became clear that Blake's uncle was heartily glad to see the back of him, the man was eager to help him pack. "Just think of all the fun you'll have on campus!" he said the night before Blake's departure.
