After talking with Emissary, Velocity sped back away, first heading to the West from the square, but then looping back around to the North after going several blocks and then making her way back to the roof she had left her bag on. In a few moments she was back in her normal clothes and the back down on the street level a few moments later. Walking out from an alleyway, Megan joined into the crowd of people that were cautiously moving about, looking over towards the smoke from Trafalgar Square as police sirens could be heard heading in that direction. The blonde teen started looking around the crowd for a sign of her friends. She did not have to go far before she managed to spot to the two other girls and headed towards them. A look of worry was clear on both the other girls' faces. Lisa was the first of the two to spot Megan, and a look of relief instantly replaced the look of concern. "Oh thank god." She said as Megan came over. "Where have you been? We have been so worried!" Janet added, giving Megan a hug before Lisa did the same. "I got pushed back in the crowd." Megan replied. "Are you two okay?" "Just jostled around as well really." Lisa replied. "Do you know what happened?" Janet asked. "No idea." Megan said, not liking having to lie to her friends, but she had grown accustom to having to do so in the years since she had gained her powers and taken on her identity as Velocity. The blonde teen looked back at in the direction of the square and the light amount of smoke still rising from the area. "But we might need to make other plans for this afternoon." "Yeah, probably." Janet said with a nod as Lisa took out her map once more. After a moment she said, "well, we are near the Embankment, we could head down and catch a water taxi back to Tate Modern." Janet and Megan both leaned in and looked at the map, and then Megan nodded in agreement. "Sure, that sounds good, give us a chance to see some of the sites from the river as well." "Yeah," Janet agreed as well, "just as long as we find something to eat by the museum once we get there." Megan and Lisa laughed as Lisa folded up her map and the three girls started back towards the bank of the Thames.

I think I need to get this going on my own again. While I know much of the slow down has been due to my inactivity, this is about the only place I do have to post I have a lot of things planned for down the road, and would like to start getting to them.

"Well, I am still totally up for the kissing booth." Velocity replied with a smile. "Beyond that, maybe just getting out and meeting kids and the like."

Yes, unfortunatly I was a bit too busy Thursday night to be able to take the chance for an entrance :(

Velocity smiled. "I am sure I can get away from the friends I am with for a little bit. Or, if you were up for it, you could accidently run into us somewhere later." As the two heroes were talking, Emissary noticed that some photographers seemed to be staritng to gather, but so far the police were keeping them away from the main part of the scene.

Hehe, that will be fun to see :)

I am up for keeping things going for a bit as well.

I am fine with heading along whatever path you would like. It was just a pretty standard attempted hit by Overthrow.

I am very sorry to hear that your leaving Heritage, I know Grim and Grossomer will both be very missed, as will you in general! Good luck with things! :)

“Actually, I am, as they say here, on holiday.†Velocity replied. “But I’d be happy to chat a bit if you like.†The police had swarmed around the car that had been stopped, and after awhile the occupant emerged with a pair of bodyguards. Emissary recognized him as a member of the House of Lords, but he could not quite remember which one.

Working quickly, Emissary was able to stabilize the injured cabbie, as others now ventured out of the relative protection of their vehicles to help. One of the bystanders was a doctor, and came to help Emissary as they waited for the paramedics. London police soon arrived, more filtering in as time passed, and started trying to divert traffic and took the unconscious terrorists into custody. It was not too long after the police arrived the Velocity returned. “I think I was able to get all of them.†She reported to Emissary as he finished treating the injured cabbie.

Yep that will do it.

Velocity looked over in the direction of some of the fleeing terrorists and gave a quick nod. “Okay, sounds like a plan.†With that, she was gone in a blur. Moving over to the overturned cab, Emissary easily lifted it back upright. Looking inside, he saw that the driver was bleeding heavily from gashes on the side of his head and upper body. The passenger seemed better off, if a bit bruised and bumped around.

I think I will just pass so we can keep moving forward.

I talked with Markk about that last night, but thanks Dr. A The insurance people aren't really that bothersome, just following their procedures. Anyway, I think I can have something up tonight Sorry for the wait. Edit: Actually, looking things over, I am not really sure what to do that hasn't already been done.

I misstyped when I was stating how Velocity's Con would now appear. It should be 14/24, not 14/25, as 14 +10 is 24 Sorry about that. Updated by V_M

The leader of the Overthrow assault team barely had time to react to the sudden gust of wind and disappearance of his hand grenade when Emissary’s fist slammed into his jaw. The blow snapped his head back as his body was propelled backward, hitting into car behind him. The momentum of the blow caused him to flip over the hood of the car and continue on to land on the pavement beyond. Emissary’s then clotheslined another of the terrorists that was near the leader. The man hit the pavement hard, clearly unconscious. As the silver hero continued to cut into their ranks, the other Overthrow operatives seemed to lose hart a bit. A few continued to fire at the black car that was their target, trying to pierce the car’s armor. Others chose to break off and try to use their escape paths. Megan sped back towards the square, noting that Emissary had dealt with some more of the terrorists. Seeing that several were still attacking a black car, the yellow clad speedster zipped towards them. As she reached the first man, Megan’s fist shot out at faster than the speed of sound, causing a slight CRACK to echo as it broke the sound barrier. The impact sent the many tumbling backward into unconsciousness. But the speedster had already moved on before the man ever hit the pavement, two more miniature sonic booms sounding as she punched out two more of the gunmen. As they all landed on the ground, the teenager had moved over to come to a halt near Emissary. "Hey, fancy meeting you here." She said with a small smile.

Whew, finally got the post up. Velocity will be using a hero point to power stunt Disarm off her speed pool.

Emissary’s silver form slammed into the first of the gunmen, completely bowling him over as the silver hero continued on to the next man, smashing into him as well. In just a few moments, all three of the men in the group were down and unconscious. The Overthrow operatives reacted quickly to the appearance of the hero. Several of the terrorists leveled their assault rifles at the silver figure, firing a burst. Most missed the mark, but the few shots that managed to hit, glanced harmlessly off his silver skin. Riley frowned at the appearance of the Freedom League member. The likelihood of a metahuman appearing was not unexpected, But Riley had hopped that there might be a bit of a delay before any did or that less powerful ones would appear. Reaching into his bag, the Irishman pulled out a hand grenade. Pulling the pin, he held the “spoon†tightly as he held out his hand and move next to a car that was stuck in the traffic jam the terrorists had created. Holding his hand out so it was over part of the windshield, he looked over at Emissary, who had just righted himself after his human bowling ball attack. “Just ‘old it right there ‘ero.†The Irishman called out. “Attack me an’ this grenade will go off, an’ who knows who it might ‘urt.†Having dropped of her things, Megan sped towards Trafalgar Square where the source of all the chaos seemed to be. Approaching from Strand, the hi-tech goggles built by Deadalus started feeding the speedster with information from the scene. One of the first things Megan saw was Emissary, standing over several unconscious men. There were several other men with guns, some aiming at Emissary, others aimed at a black car. The teen then spotted the man holding the grenade over the window of a car. Focusing on the man with the grenade, Megan shot forward in a blur of yellow. Reaching the man, she reached out towards the grenade, snatching it out of the man’s grasp before he even realized she was there. Try as she might, she was unable to keep the grenade’s spoon from flying free, which started the fuse inside the grenade. Pushing past the man, she weaved between cars, and turned down Whitehall, zipping away from the square. In a fraction of a second, she was rushing across Westminster Bridge, weaving between more traffic as she moved along the side of the bridge, tossing the grenade into the Thames below, well clear of any boats. Continuing across the bridge, the teen passed by Waterloo Station as she made her way to Waterloo Road, and crossed back over the Thames by the Waterloo Bridge. This brought her back to Strand and to the Northeast of the square once more.

Hmm, not sure we really need to. Both of us can take 10 and easily hit these guys, and they have almost zero chance of making their toughness saves. Even if they hit Emissary, they likely won't hurt him, even with a critical hit. About the only threat would be if they can hit Velocity, which can be handled by her just doing move by attacks and not being in sight when their turns are up again :)

I noticed there is an error on Velocity’s character sheet. Her unspent points should only be 2, not 3 (I don’t believe that was updated when the 3 rank of Attractive was added). Also, for the totals at the bottom, it should be Feats 20, for a total of 179 (as if you count up the ranks of her feats, it is 20). As for her 2 new pp’s, she will spend that on her Enhanced Con, making it 6) Enhanced Con 10 [10 pp] This makes her Con 14/25 (+2/+7), making her saves: Toughness +7 (+9), Fort 3 (+10) Updated by V_M. Also, thanks for pointing that out, Thevshi! :)

Hey, sorry, thought I replied to this. I don't think we need to have Initiative rolls, after all, we know who will act first Anyway, even as fast as she is, Megan had to wait till the oportune moment to ditch her friends, so Emissary will likely arrive just before her. I figure we can just handle this fight freestyle Thev

Focusing on the direction the explosion had echoed from, Emissary quickly spotted the smoke as he flew towards the commotion. His keen eyes were able to spot the blackened area where the explosion had gone off. The traffic around the square had halted, as Emissary could see a flipped over taxi. There was all sorts of commotion in the area, but the silver hero noted something else, several groups of men, all apparently armed, were moving towards the explosions, and seemed to be focused on a black car that was among the halted traffic. Two of the men in the nearest group aimed assault rifles at the car and opened fire, the bullets slamming into the car. But the car was apparently for someone important, as the bullets were halted by bulletproof windows and reinforced doors. But the impacts were chipping away at the protection. ---------------------------------------------------------- As the gunfire sounded ahead of them, more of the people on the sidewalk began to run away from the sound, causing a wave of people rushing into Megan and the others. The blonde teen took advantage of the sudden press of people as Janet and Lisa were pushed along with the crowd, allowing herself to be separated from her friends and be lost in the crowd. Once out of sight of her friends, the blonde was gone in an instant, moving away from the crowd far faster than most people could even notice. Megan sped down the street and moved away from the commotion. A few seconds later, she was on a rooftop and changed into her costume. Dropping off her backpack with her other clothes on the roof, the yellow clad speedster was ready to make her way towards the sounds of gunfire to see if she could be of assistance.

Yeah, I guess we should do that :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
