Thunder King

Voltage stood atop one of the containers inside the warehouse, gazing down at the workers assembling the machine. He had been watching them keenly, interested in exactly what it did. The young man that had come in with them was sitting nearby, looking bored. Voltage glanced over and noticed that the smoke was gone. Confident that King of Suits had dispatched with the thugs, he flew towards the entrance at a low height and greeted the man with a hushed voice. "I'm still not sure what they're building. I got in there and spotted a dangerous looking robot. The scientist is armed with some sort of device. I was just about to launch an attack when you walked in. What do you think we should do?"

Thug 3 three rolls save: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3351487/ He is now dazed and bruised

GM The man felt the bolas reach his legs and barely dodged out of them. He saw a hazy figure and took a shot, missing wildly. His partner, meanwhile, merely groaned, resolving that a beating just wasn't worth what he was paid. It was obvious he had no intention of getting back up and fighting.

GM One of the men heard the sound of his ally's grunt, and fired in that general direction, missing horribly. His eyes darted around the area, and he backed up towards what he hoped was the door, trying to get into a better position.

GM "He's over here!" One of the men shouted, barely glimpsing a fist beside his head. He raised his pistol and aimed in King of Suit's general direction. If he had known how close a shot it was, he may have been heartened. The other man, however, raised his pistol and failed to hit anywhere near either his partner, or his target.

Voltage nodded to King of Suits and took off towards the door, flying overhead and landing inside. He glanced around, trying to see where they could have gone. He spotted a large storage container that nearly reached the roof, and teleported to the top of it to get a better look. That is when he spotted the machine.

Okay, Voltage is going to teleport inside and start looking around

GM The two remaining men realize their ally fell, and back towards the door, pistols drawn. They stumble around a moment before touching each other and backing towards the door, pistols drawn.

The two remaining thugs have no idea where Voltage or KoS are, so they back towards the door and keep their guns drawn

Voltage gazed down at the three men and spotted one through the thick smoke, eyes darting around in a panic. Voltage concentrated for a moment as a charge built up near the man. A silver bolt of lightning coursed directly through his body. The man collapsed. Voltage, confident that his target was incapacitated, settled down on the roof nearby to see what they would do next.

GM Three men stood in front of a warehouse door for reasons none of them understood. Oh, well the money was good. All they were supposed to do is look intimidating and important. They didn't know that two superheroes were about to drop in on them and make their lives unpleasant. "Hey, Jim..." One of them said, tapping one of the others. "...is that what I think it is?" "Oh, this is gonna suck, guys, we have a cape!" He shouted, pulling his pistol.

"It's possible they already know someone's investigating, or they have good reason to suspect it." Voltage said. "Alright, I'm going up." Voltage said, flying higher into the air, towards the three hired thugs.

"Yeah, there's a kid with them, no more than seventeen, eighteen years old. He's there voluntarily, too. Have to keep that in mind. I have a feeling they're going to build something in there, and I doubt we want to let them." He slowly began to lift off of the ground. "There are three guards. If you go in directly and I try to come from above, we should be able to take them out without any trouble."

"Don't worry...I'm not a threat. Voltage said, raising his hands. I heard news of a series of thefts, technology and such. I was investigating a meeting I found out about when I spotted you. I assume you've been following this situation too?" He kept his hands raised. This was a tense situation, he did not want to provoke a potential ally. "My name is Voltage. I possess the power of electricity control, I'm a new superhero. My powers give me access to the internet. I already know about you, King of Suits."

Voltage floated ominously through the air over the warehouse. His information tracking had led him to this location, at this time. There would be a meeting shortly after dusk, with tons of electronics equipment, much of it stolen. He did not know what was going on, but he had to figure it out. As he looked around, he spotted a man below. He flew downwards, towards the man to get a look at him. His mind quickly scanned the internet. "King of Suits, superhero. No powers..." He mumbled to himself. "I can probably introduce myself. We're probably working the same case." With that, he flew towards the other man. He landed nearby and gave off a slight, harmless discharge, trying to signal the other hero. He would have to be cautious, he did not want it to look like he was attacking.

GM January 29th, 5:50 PM, 2012 The sun was setting on Greenbank. A large van pulled up to an empty warehouse. Three large, burly men hopped out the back and began carrying large, heavy looking machinery in. It was rather conspicuous looking, which is why it was in an isolated part of Greenbank. Two men talked in hushed tones beside the van. One of the men was Dr. Benjamin Green, ostracized in the scientific community for insisting that he discovered the source for all genetic super powers, a source he claimed could be manipulated. The Albright institute had thrown him out on the street and shut down all of his research. They were quite angry at the idea that he wanted to sell his research for profit. They were not interested in super soldiers. The younger man was Andrew Hill, heir to the Hill fortune. He had everything he wanted in the world; money, fame, women. He did not have the one thing he craved more than anything else; super powers. Dr. Green would help him with that. Andrew cast a nervous look up at the nearby warehouses, and walked hurredly inside. He was excited and nervous. Within less than an hour, he would have powers. He just hoped no superheroes would arrive to screw it up for him.
