It was not that the Emissary was especially prone to rage. He'd fought various costumed villains and felt nothing more than a sad sort of.. vexation, yes, that was the word, at their wasting potential and talent. But whether it was traces of his father's memories of the battlefields of Europe, or Utopia Isle's lessons on reason, nothing aggrieved so much as rampages. It was the unfortunate drawback of a seeking mind, constantly trying to understand. For there was no understanding of pointless carnage for the sake of carnage, no someday hope to puzzle out the motivations behind such things and counsel them away. It was every arguement the Utopians made about humanity's darker nature made manifest, and it was always painful to see.

And all of that was now personified in this strange man before him, setting southside ablaze with seeming glee. He sped up further, reaching out his arms, straining as force and speed left an almost gleaming wake in his flight path, given the light of the fires shining off his metallic body.

"Why!"

His tone was demanding, even as he moved to try and stop the man from further assaults, seeking to pull him into a crushing bear hug.

"Why!"

Somehow, he still sounded as if he entirely meant the question.

(OOC: got a 22 on my attack roll http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1353111 which should be enough to grab Vengeance. Need an opposed grapple check from Vengeance to determine if the grab takes and the damage ensues.)

(OOC: basically, this is how it goes down, on my action, I attempted a grapple, which involves making a melee attack roll to grab someone, if it hits, both people then roll opposed grapple checks to see if the grapple succeeds, if it does, the person grappling has a bunch of options to pick from, including inflicting direct damage. Anyway, your toughness save bonus is +9 or +10, no? That just means you failed, not failed abysmally, you've got a bruised result, it just means you're at -1 to further toughness saves in this fight. You can certainly now try to hit Emissary with the mind juju as your action, you're just grappled while you do)

The Emissary felt his very soul assailed by what seemed to be an attempt to draw out his rage and anguish, and thereby crush him with it, his senses assailed by what seemed to be resounding echoes of condemnation of the nature of the outside world, of the sheer futility of having any hope for it..

"No! They are a fine people, and they are worth fighting for!"

More than just drawing on the memories and personalities of the Utopian heroes he had been crafted from, the Emissary drew on his own experiences with the people of Freedom City so far, with his sense of wonder at even the smallest part of their lives, his contentment at walking among them. And whatever despair he might have felt was replaced only by a steely resolve to let no further harm come to them. A resolve not to let men such as Vengeance freely victimize them. His grapple held, and constricted still.

(OOC: made my save, got a 25 total. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1353279 everyone else now gets to do their thing before it cycles to a new round)

Once she saw her friends were making their way away from the scene and towards the safer areas in the Boardwalk, Sabrina ducked into an alleyway and began to change into her costume. With powers like hers, normal clothing would not last, so she thankfully had costumes made from the Atom’s morphic molecules that she had been given while at Claremont Academy. Soon, she was at her maximum height of ten feet and making her way out of the alley to see what she could do to help.

Though the sounds of destruction had tapered off, Renichi could still hear something going on up ahead. Maybe the people responsible had already been put out? No, probably not. Most battles involving posthuman combatants created a much bigger uproar in his experience. This one had probably just hit a lull before the inevitable "Michael Bayesque hyperkinetic hormonal posturing".

Ass-kicking, for the uninitiated in the art of excessively opaque verbalization.

Renichi picked up his gait. He didn't want to miss this.
