I've had a string of colds, plus school's been kicking me around a bit, made worse by the first bit. Also, I need some time to work on my social skills, so I'm going to stay off the site for a bit, until I feel I'm ready. Whether that be a few days, weeks, months, or even years, I don't know. And could someone archive Guardian while I'm gone, please?

I'm assuming this is the epilogue bit, so the amount of time I take doesn't really matter. If I'm wrong at this, let me know and I'll edit it.

"...'You have my number?' Ah well, whatever, I don't need to pry." Nodding as Sparksmith left, and managed to get out of earshot before Guardian could speak up, he flew back to the firemen, and offered his assistance. Once he got the injured fireman back up, he flew through the university to make sure everything was ok, and that the infection had in fact disappeared, before flying the three men that he knocked out to the hospital, just in case. "All in all, this could have ended up worse. Hopefully there aren't any lingering side effects, but that was a doozy of an event. It seems like everyone will be fine, though."

Craig was with his mom and dad, Diana and Fred Carter, who had gotten tickets almost as soon as they were being sold. While his parents were fascinated by most kinds of art, Craig liked large metal or stone sculptures, appreciating the work that was put into it, and not much else. "I guess art appreciation skips a generation in the Carter family. Geez, I don't even know where anything is located. Ah well." Turning towards his parents, who were admiring a painting, he lightly sighed, put on a nice face, and decided to just stick around hoping that something would catch his eye.

This is mildly embarrassing, but I forgot to give Craig's dad a name. I thought I did. Anyways, the second paragraph in the History section on Guardian's sheet should be changed from: to: Doktor'd

Ok, I've updated the sheet. I think everything should be kosher.

Guardian: 26 posts Recruiting: 11 posts Red Hot Science: 13 posts Terror of MegaOtaku!: 2 posts

"Yeah, funny thing, Sparks. I don't like hitting civilians either, so some help to contain them would have been nice." Putting his hands behind his head in a relaxed fashion, Guardian continued. "Still, it seems that your help was useful, wherever you were, so I'm not upset." Turning his attention back towards Supercape, he said "Hello there, nice to meet you, Supercape. Although, I do have to wonder, where does that name come from? It's certainly one of the more unique hero names I've heard in my life. Also, would that blast have taken care of all those infected people, or just him?", pointing to Liebniz.

Hopefully this should be my last one, unless something really unexpected comes up. As a note, I realize that I have only 3 ranks of Probability Control proper, but the general idea is ranged fighter/support, and my attack is so low, that unless I got too close, I wouldn't be able to actually "hit" with the power to help people out. Feel free to correct me on this if I'm wrong. The array is where I plan on putting most of my PP rewards after my saves get bulked up a bit.

Sparksmith already mentioned Haley.

"Oh, that reminds me!" exclaimed Guardian. "I never did thank you properly for leaving me to deal with all four of those red infected men. Thankfully, nothing too bad happened. A fireman got hit, but luckily he wasn't infected. We should probably go check them and make sure they're clean before they wake up, though." Moving towards Supercape, Guardian extended his hand to him, as well. "So, you two seem to know each other fairly well. Am I going to be introduced, or am I going to have to settle for not knowing?"

Guardian got back as Sparksmith requested, and got ready for a mild explosion... and got a humongous one instead. "Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Good sweet mercy that hurts." Getting knocked over his feet, he picked himself back up, and flew over to Sparksmith, outstretching a hand for him to grab onto, in order to help pull himself up. ""Hey, you guys ok? That explosion was MASSIVE. I hope there aren't any lingering effects.

Reflex save: (8+6=14) Toughness save: (11+13=24) I HATE when a Bruise is the cause of another Bruise.

The brute turned his attention towards Guardian, punching... and missing completely. That being said, Guardian could feel the strength behind that punch even though he wasn't hit by it, and so decided to try and knock him out to make Sparksmith's job easier. Unfortunately, Guardian did the same thing that the pulsating man did, and completely missed his target. Only then did he notice Sparksmith by the door, with the positive counterpart in hand, looking at the third superhero in the room, presumably to wait for an "OK" to get the two into contact.

Guardian: Free Action: All-Out Attack (+5 Attack, -5 Defense) Free Action: Power Attack (+5 Damage, -5 Attack) Standard Action: Attack Anti-Leibniz (4+6=10) Swing and a miss. Can I post in IC?

So for clarification, where would my action be taking place? Before or after Sparksmith does his thing?

Um, sorry about the slow reply, it's been a long week. Anyways, for tearing up the stage to make a shelter, what exactly would I roll for that?

Toughness save: 20+13=33 Also, I should be around more, but it was a busy week, and I'm sorry for holding this up.

Slowly standing back up, looking around one more time and watching fights and such continuing to break out, spotting the occasional weapon, and blood spilling out of mouths and noses, Guardian turned towards Powerhouse. Looking him square in the eye, heart laden with sorrow and eyes beginning to tear up, Guardian began to stutter out "W... w-w-w... what..." before finally managing to spit out, in what would generously be considered a whisper, "What have we done?"

Edited post.

Supercape, since I misunderstood what OP was saying, can I edit my post? Or should I assume that he's started moving towards the exit and leave it as is?

A little annoyed that the hulking man had broken free of the cage, and slightly unnerved at the roar himself, Guardian noticed Sparksmith shaken up, moving to get in-between him and the monstrous man. Continuing the fight, Guardian asked Supercape "Wait, did you say it would be like matter and anti-matter? When those two things connect, doesn't that usually result in either a huge explosion or both the original and the anti version blinking out of existence? He may be infected, but he's still an innocent civilian, and I won't let him be killed or erased." Landing another solid blow on the anti-matter man, Guardian noticed how this time, it felt more like putting his hand next to an open flame than it did putting his hand into one. "I guess knowing about it helps me prepare for it, mentally. I'm not being damaged by him anymore, and it seems that that last hit did some actual damage this time, although I bet he's going to recover from it."

Guardian's going to move back 10 feet.

Guardian Free Action: All-Out Attack (+5 attack, -5 defense) Free Action: Power Attack (+3 Damage, -3 Attack) Standard Action: Attack Anti-Leibniz (15+8=23) Save vs. Radiation Aura: (17+13=30)

While continuing to pummel away at this negative tower of meat, Guardian called out to Supercape, yelling "Hey, mister? Whatever you're doing, could you speed it up? He seems to be recovering damage about as fast as we can deal it.", while delivering a solid blow. To Guardian's annoyance, however, the bloody-looking brute seemed to shrug off the attack, with the only damage being Guardian's sense of calm. "GAH! This is so annoying. It's like I'm trying to run a marathon on a treadmill!"
