Justice visibly deflated at the comment about Mars having stolen her tech and her being compromised... Yeah, yeah, Salvo was right, sure, but... but there was more to it, right? "Mars got some of my old tech." She crossed her arms. She wasn't angry. "Judging from what I've seen of the Ultio Suits, it was the stuff I worked on at the u... err, at the old place. I got a new place that's much more secure. But yeah, its a fair point. Good thing the old tech didn't have any communications tech in it, then." She should bring Salvo there, if she had all that tech she boasted about. Yeah, that would probably be a good idea, but so far, only Meta-Naut had seen the AnneX. "Only two ways to get hold of a suit as far as I know: Buy one, or grab one of a random guy. I don't really have the money for the first, and I dunno if anyone here is comfortable with grabbing a random guy that might just be trying to do good off the street. Still, solid plan." Her confidence was starting to build here, ever so slightly. "Woah, nice. Good to see you, welcome!" People were just flocking in. Really... so many more than she had expected. She paused, just staring at the woman in the skull mask. She... she really didn't know what to say to that. Space and time, right. Magic, psychopomps hanging around if they were near death and... "I'm really sorry, but that sounds incredibly creepy. I'll leave a message, sure, but that whole psychopomp thing sounds really scary. I... I really don't think I wanna know more about that, sorry! And... err... I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch what you call yourself?" Quick pause. She was right, though. Using the Paks' place as a meeting spot wouldn't be a good idea, even if they didn't mind. "I'm with you on not using this place for regular meet ups. I know you don't mind," She looked over at Mrs. Pak with an apologetic smile, "but what if someone finds out and well... I don't want you guys to get hurt." "Well... yeah. That actually sounds pretty good. I dunno if we could get city hall to make us anything official or anything like that, but we could at least work together, right?" She looked around at the rest. There was a lot of people in here. Some she knew a bit about, some she knew nothing, then there was the ones she actually knew and... well, there was a lot of people here. She looked over at Meta-Naut with a weak smile while she stayed in the corner. Meta-Naut, Emerald Spider, Kanunu, Waverider, Salvo, Protectotron, Skullface Woman, Red Guy and herself, that was... 9 people? A lot of people to get working together, they'd need to get some time to make it all work... if everyone was interested, at least. Which was actually a good point. "Uh, so... are all of you interested in forming a, well, a super team, I guess? Everyone working together? Don't wanna pressure anyone into doing something you don't want to. Just sharing info should be fine even if you don't join, right?" ES clearly had ideas here, which was good.

Pan rolled back to put in the space, his feet sliding across the floor leaving just the tiniest amount of golden dust behind where his feet had been but moments before. He held the scarf in his hand, playfully moving it around a bit, distracted by it for but a moment, before he tied it around his wrist. "Just one: We have to stay on the floor, yet? No flying?" He sounded almost disappointed, like he had already guessed the answer to the question, but of course, it was quite obvious. Making sure the scarf was tight against his right wrist, he then shifted his position slightly, holding out his open right hand towards Eira, a devilish smile on his lips, a challenge in his eyes. "Shall we, then? Try to keep up, yes?"
-
"In-te-res-ting." Pan lightly poked at one of the dogs, trailing a long finger across its shadowy form. He seemed deep in thought for a moment, simply observing the shadowy dogs, his eyes following them and their movements. "I suppose even a nightmare can be playful," he mused, moving his hand up to stroke the puppy behind the ears. He looked up at the half-smiling Eira, matching her with a wide smile of his own. "When have I ever said no to trying something new?"

OOC for this. @Grumblefloof

GM 11PM, April 1st, 2020 Bridgepoint, Emerald City A man had walked into Mictlan this morning. He had looked disheveled, scared. His hoodie was torn in a few places, he had some bruises. He was rubbing his right arm, looking around with a frantic look in his eyes. He'd heard rumours that some kind of witch was hanging around, someone that dealt with bad stuff. He had just met some bad stuff, the night before, at the port in Bridgepoint. Some kinda demon, he said. A shadow man. It seemed to be just shadows and glowing white eyes under clothes. It had attacked him, it had beaten him, then left him alone. He wasn't the only one. A lot of the night shift had visited by the same thing the last few weeks. He hoped that the people in the shop would pass word on to the witch, before he hurried out of there. The public port in Bridgepoint was not as silent as one would expect at night. A few men were walking around, sure. Guards, probably. The man that had rushed into Mictlan and asked about the witch was one of them, patrolling at the docks, making sure no one entered any of the ships in the port. Some people would pay good money to keep their ships safe, after all. There was a party at a larger yacht, with music playing and laughter filling the air. They could be heard from far away, attracting plenty of attention. Someone on the city council throwing a party. Maybe the shadow man would show, maybe he wouldn't. Perhaps Santa Muerte would find out.

Justice "HEY!" These guys really weren't playing around, were they? Shooting all over, not caring who they hit, and shooting straight at her? At least the armor held up, it wasn't anything more serious than that, which, really? That was good. Really good. Really nice to stay just a little bit safe from the bad guys, and to know the armor was working and... She had to get to work. Full power to the gauntlets, get through these guys and get to the guy barking orders, right? The motors in her gauntlets and boots whirred to life once more. Pulling back, she delivered a quick blow that connected with the chest of the nearest shooter. The blow sent him tumbling back, out cold. As the next raised his gun at her, Robin spun around, delivering a roundhouse kick to his face that sent him down for the count, continued the movement to spin around and jump, kicking the last one and bringing him down, before she landed on the roof right behind him. Then looked up to the rest of the people on the roof and their leader. "Hey! Stop that! Those people are already going away!" She set into a run, she had to get through them and stop this.

Since Durf made me remember that you can take 10 against minions, Justice will do just that with Takedown Attack against the 3 guys next to her. Rolling TOU for them, vs DC25, in order: 17 12 24 All three go down, and Justice moves into melee with the other group of 4 at the roof, with the leader left on his own for now. @Tiffany Korta, you're up 23 - Kanunu - 4HP - Unharmed 22 - Justice - 4HP - Unharmed - DEF+5/TOU+15 20 - Emerald Spider - 1HP - Unharmed 9 - Mafiya Soldiers x20 - 3 Snared, 6x KO 3x Transports: Protected by Water Dome, TOU 18 There's 8 men on the roof, including the one that barked out orders. There's a group of 4 and the one barking orders. Justice is engaging the group. The last 3 have been KO'ed. There's 12 men on the ground. 6 on the left side of the building, 3 of those are stuck together with webbing, the other 3 Kanunu just KO'ed. The others 6 on the ground are grouped in groups of two in front of the building, with ES in front of them.

Sense motive: 24

Yep, but in case there's other things you want to do, like attack and such.

Archer's snare will hold the cages some, but it can't hold all the cages up on its own for long. Unless you're willing to let cages drop, you need to use some arms to hold them up, or to get the cages or the people in the cages away from the pit. There's currently 6 cages with people in them. The cages won't drop immediately if you stop supporting them, but they won't last long, especially not if the Pinball Wizard interferes.
-
GM "If you guys don't wanna play by the rules, then I'm gonna break 'em too, muchachos!" The wasp-like robots flew around in their swarm, circling away from the group and grouping closer together for the moment. At the same time, a trio of shiny silver balls, each roughly 3 feet in diameter, rolled out from around a corner, coming to a stop a short distance away from the pit and the cages. "Maybe you're hidden in all that black goo you shot out, and that's pretty disgusting by the way, but hey, I'll take the shot anyway! Just remember, you put everyone here in danger when you didn't wanna play!" 1 foot long barrels extended from the silver balls, quickly firing yellow energy blasts into the cloud. At least none of them hit their mark.

Archer's Initiative: 21 Pinball Wizard's Initiative: 23 That's some rolls initiative for all involved! A group of three silvery ball shaped robots with cannons on top rolls in and fire at Octoman in the ink: 11 13 18 One hit, miss at 11+ from Obscure: 18 All miss! The Stun Bots are flying around in a big swarm, but doesn't attack this round @Darksider42 you're up with an IC for your dazed, then its me with Archer. @Grumblefloof: You'll need to divert at least some, if not all, of your attention on not dropping those cages. 23 - Pinball Wizard & His Toys - Unharmed - Swarm of Stun Bots - Group of Pinball Bots 21 - Spectre - 1HP - Bruise (x1), Dazed 21 - Archer - 4HP - Unharmed 20 - Octoman - 5HP - Unharmed Cages: Obscured for 4 rounds, held by Ben and Area Snare, dropping to the pit!

GM "WHAT!?" It was quite obvious that the Crimson Cross just couldn't believe what she was hearing, as Ms. Bright flew above them, shining brightly. "Cover your eyes you damn idiot!" Jonathan broke from the passivity of before, moving to cover the Preacher, while he covered his own eyes with an arm. "I knew she couldn't be trusted." Despite it all, the Preacher remained calm. He chuckled, as he held a hand up against the bright light. "Oh, if only you knew how wrong you are. This is not murder, child. This is justice!"
-
Saves! (messed up a bit on Jonathan's rolls if you see the history, so just rolling them all over from the start. Wrong bonuses and stuff) Jonathan: 22 -> 21, not blind Crimson Cross: 6 -> 12, blinded The Preacher: 19 -> 30, not blind Can you give me an Initiative roll?
-
That's a hit, TOU: 11 He's out. Give me an IC. 16 - Thug 1 - KO 16 - Thug 2 - Unharmed 16 - Thug 3 - Unharmed 16 - Thug 4 - Unharmed 8 - Knight of Earth - 4HP - Bruise (x1) - Wall TOU+10 - Unharmed 7 - Spectre - 0HP - Unharmed
-
They're minions, and can't make that save at all, so you take out the three near you. The guy giving the orders is on the roof, 23 - Kanunu - 4HP - Unharmed 22 - Justice - 4HP - Unharmed - DEF+5/TOU+15 20 - Emerald Spider - 1HP - Unharmed 9 - Mafiya Soldiers x20 - 3 Snared, 3x KO 3x Transports: Protected by Water Dome, TOU 18 There's about 8 men on the roof, including the one that barked out orders. They're in groups of 3, 4 and the one barking orders. Justice is engaging the group of 3. There's 12 men on the ground. 6 on the left side of the building, 3 of those are stuck together with webbing, the other 3 Kanunu just KO'ed. The others 6 on the ground are grouped in groups of two in front of the building, with ES in front of them.

1HP left! Can you give me the power rank, extras, descriptors, etc. for the stunt?
-
GM The group in front of the building all tumbled down, caught in the Emerald Spider's web, but quickly scrambled to their feet to take positions once more. A few cursed in Russian, one of them yelled something in Russian, and then they were all shooting once more, bullets flying all around the Emerald Spider, while the others fired at the trucks. The group near Kanunu was clearly intimidated by the large man, quickly changing targets to him and starting to fire. "You have no business here!" one of them shouted, in a rather heavy Russian accent. Almost cartoonishly so. On the roof, Justice found herself targeted as well, bullets flying all over her or bouncing off her armor. The man that had given the orders gave her a single look, then turned his attention back towards the cars. "Fire! Show them what happen when you forget debt!"

Alright, 6x Reflex to halve or not the effect: 2 21 15 13 8 4 Alright, one made that, rolling resisted Trip for him: 8 And the rest: 14 7 14 6 18 All fall down! And the Mafiya are up, so all rise, but they can't move, at least! 4 of the ones that ES tripped shoot at her: 8 12 16 14 All miss The three near Kanunu shoot at him: 25 14 19 Two hits, give me TOU saves vs. DC20... but your Impervious Toughness takes care of that. The three on the roof closest to Justice shoots at her: 9 12 18 One hit, since she's fully TOU shifted. DC20 save: 20, just makes it The remaining seven all shoot at the trucks, with the water blocking it. Durf, can I get 7 DC20 TOU saves from the water dome? And @angrydurf is up 23 - Kanunu - 4HP - Unharmed 22 - Justice - 4HP - Unharmed - DEF+5/TOU+15 20 - Emerald Spider - 1HP - Unharmed 9 - Mafiya Soldiers x20 - 3 Snared 3x Transports: Protected by Water Dome, TOU 18
-
@Tiffany Korta: Which of the groups are you targeting? For the ones on the roof, you'll target Justice too, if you attack. For the group of three on the ground, you'll get Kanunu too. You could probably get the three groups of two in front of the building, if you want.

Hoo, yeah... Going the legal way. That was an option, yeah, but honestly, going up against someone like Mars with all of his resources? No, that probably wouldn't work, right? While the others talked and Protectotron greeted everyone, Robin sat down at the counter, just listening while they discussed things and when the talk fell on organizing and leagues and whatever, she spoke up. "Ye-yes! Exactly! Team ups and everything here, its great. I love randomly teaming up, but look at what's happening, right? All those Ultio Suits running around, whatever those people like the Upstarts are doing and all that, I... I don't really think things are gonna stay as calm as they've usually been around here. We gotta get a way of staying in touch." She fiddled a bit with her belt. A Freedom League West? She hadn't quite thought that far, to be honest. "I, uh... I don't really know about bringing in the Freedom League and outside resources, though." She jumped down from the counter and walked up to Salvo, looking up at the huge armor. "This is the first big thing to happen in Emerald City for years. What's it gonna be if we go running for help without even trying, right?" She was slowly getting worked up, sounding just a bit more confident. "I don't know if we should try and make a team or anything, I don't know how everyone here feels about that, because honestly, most of us have just met, but I really think we gotta find a way to stay in touch. Call for help when needed, pool our resources. Anyone is in danger, they call for help. Anyone get a lead on anything, we share it. Could be something as simple as a chat group, I can set up something secure, or, I dunno, weekly meetings and sharing out phone numbers? I could probably build some communicators for all of us."

This was it, then. Parker had just happened to be close by... that sort of thing had kept happening to him, even when he had lost his powers. Parker hadn't been able to do much, then. It had been frustrating, but he had gotten used to only being able to help get people away, but... that wasn't all he could do anymore, was it now? It was risky, of course. His powers hadn't been back for long. He had no idea if they would even work right, but even with the woman he didn't recognize swooping down with her freezing breath. She was fast, but was she fast enough? He couldn't take the chance. In a flash of black and white, Spaceman flew towards the falling car. The rush of wind in his face, the pull of the cape behind him... He had missed this. Any doubts on what he should go disappeared in an instant as he grabbed on to the car and slowly lifted it away from the growing sinkhole. "Don't worry. I got you now."
