Thunder King

Immediately after Overclock moved away from him, Crimson Tiger jumped forward for a hit. She balled up her fist and moved to strike him. His slowed reflexes from Overclock's sudden nerve strikes must have dulled his reaction, because he barely reacted to the attack in time. Unfortunately, that was not the attack she was going for. Suddenly, her body twisted as she brought her foot up to his head, bringing the side of her foot directly in contact with his temple. WHAM! "Ow...what...what was....ugghhhhh" He mumbled as he stepped forward once, and then collapsed. He mumbled on about his head, and the odd sensations that were running through it. Crimson Tiger, meanwhile, just stared. She was pretty sure he was some sort of super strong, super tough guy. He had to have been. Maybe she just hit him that hard, or in just the right spot.

-4 to attack for +4 to damage, Natural 20! I think that's a confirmation at a DC29 TOU save

And a 25 TOU save! Going for a Feint, sacrificing -5 to make it a move action, got a 28

16 on an attack roll on the spider Voltage isn't going to let this spider hurt people, so I'm going to burn an HP to make sure he hits; Got a 21 second time around

"Well, it seems that the trap situation was resolved." Voltage said with a nod. "I'm curious as to where this all goes, I think we should investigate." He looked at the assembled heroes. "I don't know about you, but I don't want to have to stop another ninja robbery here, or have something even worse end up taking over the base back here."

Mali couldn't help but giggle a bit at his mock declarations of doom. It looked like the people at Claremont were friendly and nice overall. She was sure that someone, somewhere might bully or mock here, but it wouldn't be either of these people. John was serious, straight forward and a bit odd. Yet he was also helpful and friendly in his own odd way. She knew he had some sort of powers, namely when he suddenly had that staff, and when it disappeared. She wasn't going to ask about it, mostly because she was pretty sure she was one of the few people here without powers. Morgan seemed a bit goofy and silly, maybe a bit mischievous. She couldn't put her finger on it, but something about his jacket was odd. Maybe it was something to do with what he could do? Either way, she avoided making judgments about these new people in her life. She had always been taught by her father that while first impressions are important, you never know what sort of situation the other person is going through. Best reserve your opinion for when you see them at their best and worst. "So why do your homework in that tree if it's evil?" She asked with a wry grin.

Mali, not wanting to wait any longer, rushed him with aggression and fury in her eyes. She jumped up and swung as hard as she could. However, in her haste and desire to hit with power, she overshot her strike and missed him wildly. She dropped next to him and immediately backed up away from him, watching him carefully, sizing him up.

Got an 18 on a Power Attack DC22 TOU save

Thomas was, at that moment, sitting on a bench a few miles away from the bank, reading a book in the park. Two police officers were taking their break nearby, eating sandwiches purchased from a nearby food stand. "Got a robbery, we've been called..." One of them said, they both quickly hopped into the cruiser and took off. Thomas placed his book in his bag and slung it over his shoulder, a bank robbery could be problematic. He took off jogging inconspicuously and, once he was sure nobody could see him, changed into his costume and took off. He placed his bag on top of a nearby building, in a spot he was sure nobody would go. With a rush, Voltage took off towards the bank at top speed, knowing he would be there momentarily.

"Evil trees, super powers, guys hanging upside down in trees..." Mali shook her head. "None of this is weird to you guys, I take it?" She shrugged. "This place is huge. Much bigger than the High School I was going to. Glad to be out of there, too." Mali looked around the area. "So, is this where people hang out, or...where do people hang out here?" She asked. This was already a good day. Both of these guys seemed cool, and they didn't seem put off by her, intimidated, or anything else. Still, this was going to be an interesting day. She hoped to make friends.

Crimson Tiger glanced around at the three remaining thugs and grinned. "Consider this the notification." She said, darting forward with a vicious right cross, sending one of the three to the floor. Jerking backwards, she brought her right arm back into a brutal elbow to the side of the second man, sending him flying backwards. Flowing from that into a ducked stance, she brought her left knee up directly to the jaw of the last man, sending him to the floor. With that done, she brought her hands to the ready position and balanced herself on the ball of her foot...it was time.

Voltage's mind scanned the area around him for the wireless network of the bank, or any network that might lead to the electronic eye. With a few seconds of thought, he shut down all communication between the eye and the trap, he hoped. He dropped one of the swords on the ground and guided it towards the door, prodding around it, making absolutely sure the trap was disabled. He didn't want anyone to get hurt, after all.

Mali blinked, then blinked again. It was odd seeing a guy, just hanging upside down from a tree. She shook her head and smiled. "Hi! And thanks! Did you do this on purpose? Do you need help getting down?" She looked over at John quizzically. On the one hand, he seemed to think this was a regular thing, but his tone suggested disappointment or exasperation. Maybe he did this occasionally, albeit accidentally. Ah, well, she'd at least offer to help him down. She couldn't very well let him hang up there as she went on her tour. What kind of superhero would that make her? "My name is Mali, by the way..."

Attack of 19, DC of 20 on all the remaining minions she can hit

"Oh, I already ate earlier this morning, not hungry yet." To be truthful, her nerves weren't calm enough for her to sit down and eat. She was too nervous about the new school to eat just yet. Besides, she wanted to see more of the school. There was no reason to go eat just yet. "Besides, I want to see more of the school before I do anything else. What next?"

GM March 5th, 2012 It was a lovely afternoon, a bit chilly, perhaps, but that was to be expected on the east coast. Either way, people hustled about the streets, going to and fro on their daily business. The street was choked with early afternoon traffic, and the banks were only two hours from being shut down for the day. All in all, it was an ordinary day. None of the people on the streets saw the woman jump to the top of the bank, and no one saw the strange cloud of swirling dust drift around lazily about in the wind. At least, not until it was too late. The young woman behind the counter could hardly believe her day. She'd dealt with rude customers, a sick child, and now, a supervillain in her bank! Within seconds, the alarm was hit, the villain was cursing, and attention had been drawn to the bank at the wrong time, much to the two would-be-robbers dismay.

Voltage surveyed the area warily, curious as to the purpose of it all. He stepped into the room. "Sorry, I was making sure everything was in order back there." He gazed down the tunnel. "I will see about triggering any traps down there." He said, exiting the room for a moment. He returned carrying several discarded swords, carried by the ninjas. He concentrated on one and lifted it with his new magnetic powers. He twisted it this way and that, poking around in the door area, searching for a possible trap. "This should prevent anyone from risking life and limb." he said as the sword prodded the area.

"Oh, we can take care of that later." She said, admiring the gym as she walked, while keeping track of John's military time. She was used to needing a spotter, so she was sure to do that. She mentally worked through her home routine and tried to match it up with what the school had, adjusting it mentally to ensure her routine didn't have to end. Still, it was a big school, people seemed like they might be nice. She felt good about going to school there.

TOU check, 12, ouch Spending a hero point 15, not good, but better

With a shot, Crimson TIger was off. She jumped from the turnbuckle and rushed towards the goons. With a scream, she brought her right knee up and struck directly in the speaker's abdomen, causing searing pain to fill his body. Twisting around, she delivered a fierce elbow to the face of a second thug, sending him sprawling. Ducking down briefly, she backed into a fierce kick to a third man's midsection, causing him to tumble over. With one fluid motion, she brought her foot forward into the jaw of a fourth, before twisting completely around and kicking another man square in the temple, causing him to tumble to the floor. With the first five foes dealt with, Tiger looked around her, eyes gleaming with a fierce love of battle. She practically challenged them. She brought her knee and hands up, entering her Muay Thai stance and ready to go.

She's going to charge up and drop as many of them in one turn that she can at an attack of 19, with a DC of 20

At his notes regarding her build, she blushed slightly, but let it slide. He didn't mean anything by it, obviously. He was merely making an observation. Still, she unconsciously crossed her arms. "Oh, well, I was raised to always be polite to people, and, well, I don't have anything to hide." "The training area would be pretty cool to see. I'll probably spend a while in there." she said with a nod.

"Ow, I hope you'll be okay soon, that looks like it hurts." Suddenly, she realized something and she slapped her forehead at her own rudeness, "Gosh, I'm sorry! My name is Mali." She said. She had stupidly not noticed his subtle request for her name. Ah, well, she hoped he wasn't upset about it. "I...don't really have any specific place I want to go." She said with a shrug. "I'll leave that up to you. I'm just looking around."

She instantly noted that his speech was oddly stilted and off. She waved it off. All sorts of people could be here, why would she judge someone just because they talked odd. Besides, he looked friendly enough. "It would be great if you could show me around." She said, smiling politely. "I'm not sure where anything is, and, well, I wouldn't want to get lost." "But...if you'd rather not, I understand. I don't want to be a burden." She looked around a bit, letting her eyes soak in the details of the surrounding area.

Instantly, Mali stopped and looked at the young man. He looked like a friendly sort, so she smiled politely and shook his hand. "Yeah, just getting used to the place, you know? I've never been anywhere like this. I take it you've been here a little while?" She asked. Already she was meeting new people! She wondered who this guy was, what he could do, and what he was doing in this school. That would all wait, however. Would be a bad idea to be so rude as to outright ask. Might as well just be friendly.
