GM A wonder land, a beast, and the dreamer that made it all... a rogue heroine with the power to defeat even some of the more powerful users... it seemed that on this day, the brave men and women in the Ultio Suits had met their match. Of course, that wasn't how it would be spun. MarsTech had connections to everything. When the incident was reported by various news channels, the incident was quite different. The brave Ultio Suit Users had fought against a powerful monster, while a rogue super human had intervened. Eventually, the leader of this group of Ultio Suit Users had opted for a more peaceful approach, defusing the situation, letting everyone leave in peace. A truly heroic choice, and Max Mars praised the man in the blue Ultio suit for it, even giving him and his group free extra points! What a guy, that Max Mars!

They were in one place, then another, once more gone and there and not quite yet back again. Urmakare would see the glitter of the pixie dust on his shoulder for a short time after they left, but that didn't really matter to Pan now that they stood in the middle of whatever the Ecogrid Project was supposed to be and had soldiers and helicopter staring them down. Pan raised his empty hands, to let the pilot see them, and spoke with the sweetest voice one might imagine. His words were Danish, his movements non-threatening, and there was just something about the way he talked that just made it so difficult to do anything but just love him! "Come, now. There is no need for that, is there? We are all friends here! We are, after all, here to help, yes?"

Pan will use his Powerful Emotions to instill some Love in these fine soldiers! DC20 Will Save vs. the Love effect from the soldiers. The Subtle 2 power feat is active, of course.

GM "Felix!" Alice called out, her form flickering. Parts of her appeared as the young woman that Felix had met not long ago. Other parts would shift to the woman that Micah had seen. And in between it all, shifting and turning, she was a woman of light and power, bright and blinding to the young heroes. "Felix! He is hurting me! Look what he is doing to me!" She seemed like she was losing control, before all the shapes and forms merged into just one form: A woman that was somewhere between what Felix and Micah had seen, and yet glowing with a powerful inner light. "You turned me away, Micah! I just wanted to make you happy! Felix, he hurt me! I want you to hurt him back!" Her voice was rising to a fury. Felix felt the push, the push to fight. But it was weaker, now. Maybe he could resist it, if he wanted to.

OOC for this. @Cubismo @KnightDisciple

GM An abandoned warehouse in Kingston 11:30PM, August 18th, 2020 The Raven and Bowman families had been in Freedom City for generations. Beyond working together in the Freedom League or chance meetings, there had been little coordinated effort between what might perhaps be the city's two most well known sources of unpowered heroes. Both families had recently expanded. New, young heroes in training. Both the newest Arrow and Nevermore would attend Claremont Academy soon. At headmistress' Summers suggestion, the fourth Bowman and the third Raven had arranged a playdate for the fourth Arrow and the second Nevermore. It was a simple job. One where the experienced heroes would be able to keep their sidekicks safe with little issue. It would serve as a simple training exercise. Nothing serious, a weapons deal going down in an abandoned warehouse in Kingston, far away from the Doomforge. It would all be very simple and easy. Maybe a few stray bullets at worst. No civilians to keep safe, just the other heroes. What could go wrong? The group of heroes were positioned on the roof of a nearby building with a clear vantage point of the supposedly abandoned warehouse. It was all concrete and glass, several ways inside. It was supposed to be empty, but of course it wasn't. The four heroes could see lights moving around inside. The Bowman kneeled by the edge of the roof, holding a pair of binoculars to his eyes. "I count at least 12 people in there. There's probably more, staying away from the windows." He lowered the binoculars, then looked back over his shoulders at the rest of the heroes. "How do you want to do this?"

GM "Anything?" Billy still hadn't denied that he had access to the drugs. "You really need the drugs that bad, huh?" He looked around. Even Billy wasn't about to get caught outright selling in the middle of the school like this. He wasn't stupid. He made pretty sure that nobody thought he was stupid. "Listen, I'm not about to let you just go around me. You need something, I can get you what you need. Max, Zoom, or Amazo? I got it." He looked her over, a sly grin playing over his lips. "So how about we get you fixed up a bit, then we'll talk about the fee, yeah?" He reached into his coat pocket, pulling out a small plastic bag with a bright blue powder in it, holding it up for Alice to see.

GM Billy was sitting by a desk, a fancy laptop in front of him. Much fancier than the one he had been using before the summer, much more expensive than something anyone would expect some kid from the Fens to get his hands on. Or for a weak little nerd like Billy to keep his hands on if he brought it to school. And yet, here was Billy, typing on the computer, with no worries for who might try to take it from him. He looked up at Alice, a sly smile playing over his lips. "Alice? You're looking to score?" He didn't really sound like he believed her, but he didn't sound like he didn't want to give in either. "... Wait, is that how you started walking?" It wasn't a denial, at least.

You'll see if that's high enough or not in the IC.

Mette stood back a bit, idly rubbing her arm. "Yeah, I saw that. Kicked Otaku's ass. It didn't even seem like he remembered between being punished." She didn't like this. Not at all. Rurland had been suspect from the start, that was why they were there, right? This wasn't really what she had been expecting. World domination plans, crazy robot masters, all that? She had been ready for that. Not something like a single man being punished over and over, no matter what kind of asshole he was. Still, she focused on something else. While Klara was ready to fight Rurland all on her own if necessary, Eira had said something else that Mette focused on. "Eira? What is the great work?"

GM The web of lightning crashed down around Alice. She screamed, throwing her hands up around her head, crouching and doing her best to get out of the way! Just an innocent girl, caught in a cascade of lightning. Someone that had never done anything to hurt anyone, at least as far as Felix was concerned. The aim was thrown off, ever so slightly. Where Micah's aim might have been careful, the lightning now struck all around Alice in chaotic patterns, until, finally, the lightning rained down over her and... she burst. A brilliant glowing light shone from within, obscuring her features. To Micah, at least, Alice looked eerily familiar as she took a step back from the two struggling heroes. She seemed speechless, silent, unable to form the words she wanted to say.

Sure, Charlie might feel stupid about the things he wore right now one day, but right now? Right now he was filing away having to find some pics of that. There were bound to be something in the computers back in Freedom, and... His thoughts didn't get much further when Alek announced his presence. Charlie suppressed a small curse, and instead opted for a "Hey boss," before quickly turning away. They were busted. So, so busted, but... Alek seemed to take it all rather well? Alright, the surprise party was still on then. "Y-yeah," he agreed with Alek's statement about him becoming the next Raven. "Maybe some day, but Alek's not that old yet. But I'm good with just being Nevermore for now. I mean, I'm awesome and everything, but I still got a lot to learn." Back to Callie. "Alright, its your party. So, what do you want us to do? Knowing Ms. Summers, she's gonna show up soon. Standard decorations, hack her sound system to play a birthday song when she walks in?"

On his upper body he wears a primarily white jacket, with small red bracers on his wrists.

He wears red pants, and a black utility belt with grey pockets. He wears red boots with white soles and front, and a thick white trim at the top, in a sort of T pattern. He completes the uniform with a dark red bandana with long clothes pieces hanging from the back of his head.

GM The cave rumbled and shook with Ms. Bright's mightly blow. Dust fell from above while Jonathan and the Preacher fell. A small plastic bag with a bright blue powder and an inhaler fell from the Preacher's robes as he hit the ground, He quickly scrambled after both, momentarily losing all interest in the fight that was happening around him. While Jonathan groaned on the ground, struggling to rise, Crimson Cross lifted off, flapping her wings, seemingly forgetting that she didn't have enough space ot actually fly. "See how you like it!" A dazzling burst of light from her hands failed to reach her target, while the Preacher reached his bag. "Would you just kill her already!?"

The entire cave system seems to shake from the blow you made. It doesn't seem nearly as stable as it seemed at first glance. Jonathan gets rid of his daze. Crimson Cross Fort save vs. blind: 14, no longer blinded. She tries to dazzle Ms. Bright: 9, and misses The Preacher drops a vial with a light blue liquid when he falls, he gets to his feet and tries to reach for it, but it rolls towards Ms. Bright. You're up after my IC. 23 - Ms. Bright - 1HP - Unharmed 20 - Jonathan - Bruise (x1), Prone 19 - Crimson Cross - Staggered 14 - Preacher - Unharmed

OOC for this. @Kaede Kimura

GM The Fens, Freedom City August 24th, 2020 9:30 AM The day had started normal enough for Alice. Go to school, don't quite save the world just yet, but maybe learn a bit about how to do it eventually. Like much of the Fens, Alice's school was not a particularly nice place to spend your time. Apathetic teachers that had given up on trying to make a difference, students fighting. It was not the safe place that most of Freedom City had become. Few seemed to care about the Fens, after all. So few heroes stuck around. Alice was not one of those heroes. Since returning to the school after the summer, she had noticed something new. Drugs had always been a problem at the school, but these new drugs were different, and since those new dealers had appeared at the school, rumors of students getting into trouble had only grown, and they were suddenly showing signs of different super powers. Someone had to find out what was going on. By this point, Alice had found two dealers: Teddy Kaplan, a normally quiet and slightly twitchy type that tended to stay in the school yard, and Billy Altman, a nerd that was usually hanging out near what passed for a computer lab. She honestly didn't know either of them well, but she would have to make a choice on who to pursue.

I'll allow it, I'm guessing you aim for all of them?

Nevermore II Yes! It worked, thanks to Judy's little assist, but Charlie's mind was at something else right this moment. "Wait... Ms. Summers made you wear shorts for your costume?" He was wide-eyed, looking back at Callie for some confirmation about how hilarious this was, then quickly stepped back out of Ashley's reach, just to be on the safe side, before he quickly accepted Judy's hand and shook it. Slightly hot to the touch? Odd. So, some powers probably. And Ashley's ward? That probably meant Judy was the reason for Ashley being at Claremont, her top secret mission. "Hey, I'm Charlie. Ashley's been telling us exactly nothing about ya." He said the last bit with a wink and a smile, of course.

"Eh, I dunno if things are that great. Maybe the it'd be good with some monkey business." Charlie leaned back against a wall. "The new ones with the rise and all that are pretty good." He looked over to the adults. Ms. Summers, Alek, Ashley... they were speaking in whispered tones, doing their very best to keep him and Callie out of the conversation. The adults were talking. He turned back to Callie, rolling his eyes. "So, New York's Raven, huh? You're gonna watch out now, the Ravens here are big on adult supervision." He motioned with his head towards the older group.

Jonathan's dazed, so he can't maintain a free action to sustatain the grapple (if I remember grapple rules right), so she's free.

Pan moved in close to Urmakare, placing a hand on his shoulder, leaving just a tiny bit of Pixie Dust, but enough that the villain would notice. "You should do as she says. I will find you if you try to run." His tone was sharper than what his friends were used to hearing. "I tend to take it personally when tries to hurt my friends." With the threat hanging in the air, the rapier disappeared from Pan's hand as he turned back to his friends, a wide smile once more on his lips. "Well then, shall we go to this Bornholm place? Time is wasting, yes?"

Nevermore II "Sure. For some reason." Charlie shrugged. He knew that something had happened, but it wasn't something that either Alek or the older Callie had told him about, and there parts of the computers that he didn't have access to yet. That was probably part of it. He was just about to tell Callie, when someone burst in. Charlie whirled around, reaching into his coat for a ravenrang and then froze. It was just Ashley, and some girl. A few years older than Charlie and Callie, maybe? He let go of the ravenrang without having revealed it. He was about to say something to the girl, then realized what Ashley was saying. "Hey, hey, no need to call the Boss, right?" He quickly moved towards her, hands held out. "Callie just wanted to throw herself a surprise party, there's not gonna be a lot of surprise party, and you know he's gonna spoil the surprise, right? C'mon, we'll just have a bit of fun, right?"

Justice The Beyond? Really? Secrets lying underneath? Robin couldn't keep the grin from her lips. "Y'know, you sound kinda like a Saturday morning cartoon wizard when you go on like that, right?" Then quickly backtracked a little bit. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Its kinda cool." She reached out to accept the amulet, then slowly retracted her hand when Salvo asked if she could hold on to it. "Er, I guess... Its kind of a personal thing. Feels weird to not have it near me all the time... but yeah, I'll try asking my grandmother. Maybe she'll know something." Robin sighed and leaned back, turning towards the kitchen. "You want coffee or something? I feel like I could need something like that now." While she started rummaging through some shelves to look for the beans for the coffee machine, she continued, "So, uh, I guess you kind of know my deal now, but what about you? You got a big magic armor, you're from Freedom, and you obviously know magic, what else? Why'd you leave Freedom for Emerald?"
