Velocity Megan gave Ghost a grin as he realized she was not joking about getting him trained and cleared to fly a Pegasus plane. "It is not as hard as you might think, Deadalus has put together a very extensive training module. I mean, I am far, far faster than one of them, but I am cleared to pilot them, which comes in handy times where I have needed to travel with others somewhere. I can also say from experience, they are handy as space minivan, such as the time I had to pick up my then ten-year-old son and his two babysitters when they got hijacked 25,000 light years away." The speedster then led Ghost and Artificer into the flight operations room, giving them a chance to meet with the technicians and get more explanation of the systems used in connection with the hanger and its related operations. This also included an explanation of some of the related systems that were housed on the floor. On the second floor, the tour was rather brief, mainly consisting of meeting rooms, some administrative offices and a few sub-systems connected to operations in the command center, which Velocity indicated would be more fully explained there. Soon enough the trio arrived at the upper most level of the Lighthouse, which was entirely taken up by the station’s command center, a larger circular room with viewports looking out in all directions and filled with various workstations and other equipment. About a dozen technicians were present, operating the various equipment and other mundane day-to-day tasks for operating the massive space station. Also present was Gaian Knight, talking with one of the technicians about some minor power issues when Velocity, Ghost and Artificer arrived.

GM Kinarr Khan gave the Praetorians a small smile at their condolences. "I do appreciate your condolences Praetorians, I am also fully aware that there are many who will rejoice at my father's passing." The Kahn focused his gaze on Moon-moth, giving the Lanturian a small nod. "Any hardship faced by my house is entirely a result of my father's choices and policies. But I am honored by your kindness." The young Khan then focused back on Traveller, as she suggested escorting him and his entourage first to the Praetorian's headquarters on CoVic Station, before any appearance before the Coalition Council. "Of course, Praetor Shashikala. I have full faith in you and your fellow Praetorians." In short order, the Praetorians and Science Officer Rex-01 were back aboard their shuttle craft, while the new Star Khan, Ambassador Malor and Justicar Vor'an (whose weapon was still in Traveller's custody) boarded one of the Khanate shuttle craft. The flight to the hangers in the Praetorian headquarters was short, but even so, by the time the shuttles landed, the Praetorians had received communication from Paradigm that Imperator Th'emme wanted the Khanate ruler and his delegation brought immediately to the Coalition Council chambers. Seresk and Magnatar were waiting in the hanger, to join the group as they made their way out to the Main Plaza of the station, passing by the various embassies and other buildings associated with the various worlds of the Coalition. While news of the Khanate cruiser's arrival had been spreading among the inhabitants of the station, thankfully any news of a Khanate delegation's arrival had not (let alone that it included the new ruler of the Khanate). So, the trip was rather uneventful as the Praetorians and Khanate delegation arrived at the Council chambers.

Multi-Girl Even as Bernadette, Ghule and Shadowborne worked to clear the area around them of the Conqueror Worm’s hoard of puppets, more pressed in, crowding in again to try to get to their master. The redhead somehow managed to avoid being grabbed and dragged down by the press of the mob, though of few of her duplicates were not so lucky. But even as they were pulled down, Bernadette dismissed them, leaving the hoard with nothing to grab, so they rose back up to go after others. As she ended up back to back with Ghule amidst the chaos, the Irish teen gave Ghule a small grin as she asked her name. "I go by Multi-Girl, an' yes, I am very much ready ta kick the arse o' these bleedin' bastards!" She stated as Ghule cut loose with her bone staff, clearing a bit of space around them. Once again having some breathing room, Bernadette once again summoned more duplicates as she rushed forward. Soon, there were nearly two dozen redheads smashing through the hoard of puppets, kicking and punching and quickly whittling down the opponents, at least for now.

Timeout As the teens reached their boat, Lawrence gave Mizuki a grin. "Well, seeing as I am the one that suggested expanding the options, only fair that I pay." He then glanced over to his roommate, grin still in place. "Don't worry, I've got you covered." "So, totally up to the two of you to choose." The blond teen stated as they pulled away from the dock to head back to the marina where they had rented the boat from.

Velocity Megan's expression became much more serious as Carmen explained what favor she was hoping for. "That is a favor I would be more than happy to give." The speedster replied. "The League does have a number of resources, additionally, I am involved with a number of charities, many of which have extensive international connections that could possibly help as well. I cannot make any promises, but I will certainly leverage every resource I can." She pulled a small card out from one of the pouches on her belt, holding it out to Carmen. "You can reach me at this number, the school also knows how to get ahold of me. When you are back in Freedom City in a couple days, let's meet up for coffee and you can give me as much information as you have about your family and parents. In the meantime, I will start talking to people to figure out the best places to start."

Well, Multi-GIrl manages to miss the first save, lol, with a 15, but she passes the second with a 18 (horrible rolls) Her duplicate passes the first roll with a 24, and passes the second with a 17. She will once again make an area attack on the horde (again -2 atk/+2 dam), getting a 29 on the attack roll for a DC 29 toughness save. Her main duplicate will attack and continue to miss with a 16

Timeout Quirk regarded Consuelo and her comments with a look of amusement, then he considered both the green-haired girl and Mizuki as they asked Lawrence about the warning. "Say…have you been keeping secrets from your friends Lawrence?" Quirk said with a bit of a grin. "Oooooo." Exclaimed the little girl in the princess dress in his arms, who suddenly had a bag of popcorn in hand that she began eating as she watched the scene before here. Lawrence let out a small sigh as he looked over at Consuelo and Mizuki. "Yes, but it is rather complicated to fully explain, and…would require me telling secrets that are not mine to revel. But, Quirk is talking about an entity that tried to kidnap me when I was ten." The blond teen then looked back at Quirk. "But he of course he just gives me vague warnings, the first of which was four years ago. If the entity is coming for me again, he is taking his time in doing so." Quirk chuckled. "Oh, you of all people should understand that time is a fluid concept to beings like me and your mysterious friend. He will act when he is ready to act." Quirk then turned to regard Consuelo again, giving her a little smile. "Admire your spunk kid, you are much more fun than a lot of the super serious stiffs I seem to encounter among the superhero crowd. There are more than a few cosmic beings that have an eye on Lawrence here. Some are content to just watch, others, see power they want. Me? I see the perfect person to play games with." With that, he looked back to Lawrence. "Well, fun times over, need to put the little one to bed." He jostled the little girl in his arm. "Next time I won't wait so long to look you up again Lawrence." And then Quirk snapped his fingers. The teens were then back in the Main Quad at Claremont Academy, Vicki back with them and seeming a bit confused and upset. They had their book bags once more and even the lingering soreness Consuelo had been feeling from the Omegadrone’s pike and Mindfire’s mental attack were completely gone. Several other students were in the area, several seemingly confused and looking around as if they had been somewhere else as well. "Mr. Harrow." Came the voice of Headmistress Summers, who appeared behind the group. "I take it Quirk had another warning?" Lawrence turned to regard the headmistress. "Yes mum."

Timeout Lawrence looked over at Johnny Speed at the villian's comment about his mother’s encounter with him. "That is not what I heard happened." The teenager said, pausing for a moment before adding. "I heard you just go beat." With that, Lawrence pushed his racer even faster, the temporal distortion that marked his path seeming to accelerate even further as he vanished in a ripple of time. Johnny Speed reacted by accelerating as well, another sonic boom echoing in his wake as he sped along with Lawrence. But as fast as Speed was, he began to lose ground, and the began to fall well behind the teenager. Both of them raced past Quirk and the little girl riding alongside him, but Speed quickly became a distant second as Lawrence pulled into a commanding lead. Thanks to Rot’s shot, Aries slowed down just enough that Mizuki was able to stay ahead of him and pretty much catch up with Quirk and the little girl. When Lawrence crossed the finish line, confetti shot into the air and there was thunderous roar of crowds cheering from…somewhere. Johnny Speed crossed the line sometime after, but even as he pulled up to a stop not far from Lawrence, Quirk snapped his fingers and the villain vanished, as did Aries. Quirk, Mizuki and the little girl all crossed the line next, pulling into the winner's circle where Lawrence had stopped and climbed out of his racer. Consuelo followed along a few moments later. As the teens entered the winner's circle, their racers powered down and stopped operating. Quirk climbed out of his and started over towards Lawrence and the others, holding the little girl who had been racing alongside him in his arms. "Wow, great job everyone!" The impish multi-dimensional being said as he looked over the teens a grin on his face. "Love all the hustle, teamwork and ingenuity. Believe me, you are going to need it." The grin faded from Quirk's face as he stepped up to Lawrence, focusing on the blond teen. "Lawrence, you and your friends need to be ready. Your robed friend has his power source, and his traps are almost complete." Lawrence had a calm, almost annoyed expression as he regarded Quirk. "The only reason I put any real stock into anything you have to say about this Quirk is because the Praetorians confirmed what happened with the singularity. Unless you are willing to give more specifics, your warning is appreciated, but I could do without the games."

Timeout Lawrence smiled as Mizuki seemed to recover from her moment of self-doubt and started towards the exit with her and Baz. As she mentioned going out to get something for dinner, the blond teen gave a small nod. "Sure, but why settle for something near campus?" He stated. "As you said, we have to take the boat back to the dock we got it from in Bayview and where I parked the SUV, we can easily get across into downtown to go to any of the restaurants along the Waterfront, or over in Riverside." He suggested. As Mizuki mentioned the shed she had found and gotten permission from the school to fix up, Lawrence chuckled slightly. "I imagine Michael will flip when he hears about this. Sounds good."

Coming in clutch at the end, certainly hits. Aries has a DC 22 Fort Save vs. the Drain, gets a 19, so -3 Toughness. Toughness save is DC 27, he gets a 26, so a bruise. But, I will say it disrupts him enough that Mizuki stays ahead of him. @The Sailor @Huckleberry Okay, final results, Consuelo hits Aries and hurts him enough to slow him down and allow Mizuki to stay ahead, unfortunately, Consuelo is still behind them all, but got her licks in on two of the final opponents. Obviously, Johnny Speed is way ahead, and Lawrence futher still. So, lets have final IC posts and the race will be over! (thanks for bearing with me in this experiment, in the unlikely event that I ever try anything like this again, might rethink things some and work to have clearer rules to start!)

Multi-Girl "Yeah, it can be handy." One of the duplicates replied to Iris' comments about Bernadette's powers. As Ryan approached the group, the original Bernadette stopped so Iris and Daniel could get a chance to meet their classmate. Her two duplicates carrying the twins’ luggage continued towards the dorms, with Bernadette tossing them a pair of keys she had been provided in the office for the twins’ dorm rooms. She then focused on Ryan, giving him a smile. "Hey Ryan." The redhead then regarded Daniel as he asked the questions about any recent attacks on the school. "Aye, that can happen from time ta time, but the school is pretty well set up ta deal with most situations. Not shoor you would call it an' 'attack,' but back at the start o' December, an extra-dimensional bein' known as Qurik dropped by an' wisked a bunch o’ us inta some other dimension ta have us compete in video games. Me an' some others ended up what was basically Assassin’s Creed, set in a completely inaccurate representation o' feudal Japan." She then turned as Owain arrived, giving her fellow Senior a warm smile. "Mornin' Owain, this is Iris an' Daniel." The redhead stated, indicating the twins.

Okay, going to see if Sailor is going to post for the last stage IC, but will go ahead with getting rolls for this last stage! @Huckleberry Reminder of HPs (accounting for the one Sailor just had TL spend): Timeout 2 HP Rot 1 HP (bruised x2) Torpedo Lass 2 0 HP @The Sailor Lawrence's speed gave you a total of +10 to your +5 reflex save (so +7 more than you rolled with, so you got a 28 on the roll). No power ups in sight, this is just going fast. Aries is going to try to speed ahead (unless Consuelo tries to blast him from afar), he gets a 37 on his roll. Johnny Speed is also just pouring it on, getting a 38! Lawrence is doing the same, getting a horrible roll, will spend a HP to reroll for a 45! Will post results after Huck's roll/actions

Multi-Girl The three Bernadettes quietly watched as Iris used her telekinesis to remove the twins’ jackets from one of their bags, smiling slightly at the display of power. "Very good control." The original Bernadette commented when Iris was finished. Her duplicates picked up the twins’ bags, lifting them with ease as the Irish teen began leading them down the short hall and out of the building and onto the campus. Outside, the air was cold and crisp, as one might expect for a New Jersey’s winter day. The side door put the group onto a path that led from the parking lot in front of the administrative building (where the twins had arrived earlier that morning) and toward the heart of the campus. As they went, Bernadette responded to Daniel's thanking her for giving them the tour. "One o' the things that might be expected o' ya when yer a senior. Though, you might be competin' with a couple o' overachievers from yer class when you all are seniors." She replied with a small grin. "I think the headmistress likes ta ask me ta do tour because I don' have ta miss class. Have another duplicate sittin' in one right now." Claremont's grounds were pretty much what one might expect of an East Coast boarding school or an Ivy League college, spacious green spaces and large, Victorian style brick and stone buildings. As they went, Bernadette pointed to one such building which was north of the path they were walking on, across a large open space and partially behind the administrative building. "So, over there is the residential building fer staff that live on campus. Out past it to the north are athletic fields an' a pool." She began, before pointing over to the northest where there were two similar buildings next to each other. "Those are the student dorms, we will finish up the tour there later."

Multi-Girl Bernadette stood just under five foot ten and an athletic build. She gave the twins a warm smile as she shook Daniel’s hand (with a very firm grip) and returned Iris’ wave. Glancing back at Daniel she grinned slightly. "Well, unfortunately I'm graduatin' in about four months, but I am shoor we will run inta a number o' students you will be spendin' the next two an' a half years with here." "We should get started, not goin' ta see much if we just stand here in the admin buildin' chattin’'." The redhead said as she indicated off towards a short hallway that led to a side door. "But, let us help you with yer bags." She said, as two exact duplicates of the Irish girl appeared on either side of her, each stepping towards one of the twins. "We can take those." One of the duplicates stated, indicating the bags the twins were carrying. "We'll drop 'em off in yer dorm rooms fer you." Added the other. "Do you two have jackets?" Asked the original Bernadette. "It's rather cold out today, don' want you freezin' as we make our way around the campus."

Claremont Academy, Jasmin Summer Administrative Building Freedom City, New Jersey February 1, 2024, 9:00 AM Callie Summers, the headmistress of Claremont Academy led Iris and Daniel Evans into the main entryway of the administrative building after her meeting with the twins for their first day at the institution. The headmistress had surprised the twins by reveling that she was fully aware of their criminal background, while making it clear that she was more than willing to allow them to make a fresh start at the school. The headmistress promised they would be treated no different than any of the other students, noting nothing they were hardly the first metahuman teens to come to the school with a questionable or even criminal past. The twins found another individual waiting for them when they arrived in the building’s main entrance, a tall, attractive teenage girl who appeared to be about eighteen. She had long red hair, bright green eyes and was dressed in a pair of jeans, a light grey sweater and a winter jacket. "Mr. Evans, Ms. Evans, this is one of our Seniors, Bernadette O'Connell." Headmistress Summers said in greeting as she indicated the tall redhead. "I will leave you in her care to ensure everything is in order for your first day." She gave the twins a small smile, then a nod to Bernadette and made her way back toward her office. "Hi, Iris an' Daniel right?" The redhead said with a smile, an Irish accent very evident as she spoke. "As the headmistress said, I'm here ta give you a tour o’ campus an' help you get settled in."

APPROVED

Sri Kath'lana Kath'lana smiled slightly at J'onn's comment about not letting her and Cavalier have all the fun as he prepared himself to go out to investigate the asteroid. Then the feline Star Knight activated her own helmet, which hid her expression behind it. She then glanced over towards Kyle as he explained what they would be doing, giving a small nod. "Understood Cavalier." She replied, her voice now having a slight metallic tone to it due to the armor's filter. In sort order, the three had all exited the Star Lance's airlock and were flying through the void towards the massive form of the asteroid that was slowly tumbling through space further into the Korus System.

Much better. I see a few places where you are still spending points that you don't need to, so here is how to correct: Combat: Not sure how you are spending all the points you list, I see 6 PP on +3 BAB and 10 PP on +5 BDB, so you are only spending 16 PP here, not 22. So this is 6PP saved that you were over budget. I also have an idea for the Telekinesis to save you more points (discussed more below): Combat: 6 + 10= 16PP Initiative: +1 Attack: +3 (Telekinesis +8) Defense: +8 (+5 BDB, +3 Dodge Focus) +2 flat footed Grapple: +4 Knockback: -1/-4 w/ Forcefield Saves: Again, still seems like you are spending 2PP on Toughness, which you cannot do. Also, don't need to spend so much on Will, given your Mind Shield, here is what I would do (this saves you another 2 PP Saving Throws: 6 + 6 + 2 = 14PP Toughness: +1 / +8 w/Forcefield Fortitude: +7 (6 +1 Con) Reflex: +7 (6 + 1 Dex) Will: +6 (2+4 Wis), +11 w/ Mental Shield Skills: As Ari mentioned in chat, just need to clean up formatting. Feats: Looks fine, though would be helpful if you were to put them alphabetically. Also, I would drop the Attack Focus: Range (going to change things around some for Telekinesis and take care of the attack bonus for it in the power). This saves another 3 PP: Powers: I just realized I overpriced your array, this will save you 4PP! Here is what it should be and how I would make some other changes: Psychic Powers Array 16 (32 PP Array; Feats: Alternate Power 2) [34 PP] BP: Mental Blast 8 {32/32} AP: Telepathy 8 (Feats: Subtle) {17/32} AP: Telekinesis 8 (STR 40 [Hvy Load: 3 tons]; Extra: Damaging; Feats: Accurate 2; Affects Insubstantial 2; Precise; Attack Focus: Range) {30/32} So, based on the above, you will actually have 6 PP to spend on some other things. You could get Flight 3 for a TK flight with that.

Veronica Danger Veronica gave Davyd a slight smirk at his comments. "When did you become so brutally sarcastic." She replied, though her tone was light. The brunette stepped forward, raising up both hands, palms out towards the group of monks. The young Danger then moving her hands, golden arcane energy trailing behind her fingers as she traced several runes which hung in the air until she finished her movements and brought her hands together and the runes glowed brightly for a moment before vanishing. "I am Veronica Danger, thank you for your hospitality to my brother. These are my companions, Davyd Palahniuk and Louise Beaumont." Veronica said, giving the monks a small bow. The monks seemed slightly surprised, but apparently able to understand her, as they bowed in return, the monk that had been sparring with Rex responding, with everyone present able to understand him. "We are honored to meet each of you, we trust that your journey has been without incident. Welcome, to Shambala Vale."

Multi-Girl Bernadette had finished her coffee by the time Michael had reemerged from the house with Neko’s book and a number of other things. "Thank you Michael." The redhead stated as he handed her a replacement towel after delivering Neko’s book. Bernadette could not help but smile at the teenage boy's easy manner at making the deliveries, something she assumed came from his work at the soda shop in Riverside. The Irish teen had gone to visit it once when he was working there after he had begun at Claremont and had seen firsthand how hard a worker he was, something she could appreciate given her working class/blue collar background. Until this year, she had also worked part-time jobs while at Claremont for some extra money. The only reason she was not this year was she was pouring so much spare time into her band, which was actually providing some money (as much of what the band made was currently going back into trying to do things to increase visibility, revenue and other marketing ideas). This had Bernadette look about for a moment, considering finding Lawrence to ask him about what sort of sound system the house had. Given his mother’s fondness for dancing and the varied selection of songs she had played during the holiday party, Bernadette would have been very surprised to find out there was not a very nice sound system that not only worked inside the house but out on the patio area as well. But as she glanced around, the redhead noted Neko reading poetry to Michael, who also had a book of his own. Figuring that they did not really need any music at the moment, Bernadette just spread out the replacement blanket and lay back down in the sun, the faint splashing of water still occurring from time to time from the pool.

A very good start (please do not feel discouraged by the length of the comments, very natural when new to the system) First off, some minor stuff regarding the fluff/backstory. For the twins' residence, should probably just change to Claremont Academy (it is a boarding school where students live in the dorms, as will be explained more below, they would likely have been provided a scholarship to attend (lots of sources for that) and required to move into the dorms). Similarly, might as well included Claremont Academy as an affiliation. So for the backstory, it is all fine. Just one point regarding Claremont Academy, if you want them to have gotten on the school's radar as written, that is fine, but as indicated above, they would be provide scholarships and moved onto campus. One thing to consider about their criminal past and keeping that secret, the current Headmistress of the school is the retired Raven II (basically, she was the setting's Batman for decades until she retired, taking the mantle from her father, who was the first Headmaster at Claremont). So, it is very likely Headmistress Summers would become very much aware of the twins' background. However, they would not be the first reforming super criminals to be at the school, so she would be more than willing to not hold that against them. If they want to keep it from the fellow students that is their choice. Okay, now the crunch: Combat: Looks fine, but you appear to be spending 6 PP on +3 to attack with Telekinesis, that is not how you would buy that. You bought the +4 BAB correctly, but to add +3 for the TK attack, you likely want a Feat: Attack Focus: Ranged 3 ranks, which will only cost you 3 PP and would be listed under feats. (you would list +7 Telekinesis in the attack line like you have it here though). For your Defense, you want to list it: Defense: +6 (+3 BDB, +3 Dodge Focus) +2 flat footed (it would be lower than you have). You are going to want to increase this, you need at least a +8 defense (unless you are going to make your toughness higher than +8, which would be what we call a tradeoff) Saves: Overall is good, I would list in parenthesis how the final save is calculated, Like Fortitude: +3 (2 +1 Con). For Will, you would want to add in the Mental Sheild for it, something like Will +6 (2 +4 WIs), +11 w/ Mental Shield There are a couple problems here, first, Toughness, you cannot buy it like the other saves (the 2PP you spent to raise it to +3). One option to increase it (like I did with Synapse) would be the Forcefield power (a telekinetic forcefield most likely, like Synapse). It would be listed under powers and costs 1 PP per +1. You would list the total Toughness here. The other issue, other than Will, the Fort and Reflex saves are a bit low, you probably want to get them to +5 or +6 if you can. You certainly need to get your Toughness much higher (if you get your defense up to +8 as discussed above, you will want Toughness at +8 as well). Skills: these are all fine, you should include the stat bonus for each, like: Concentration +8 (4 ranks +4 Wis) Feats: Fine (though dodge focus should be 3 ranks you listed in defense above, but likely more as discussed above). Sidekick 10 is only going to give you 50PP for the other twin, not anywhere near enough. To make him PL 8 as well, you want at least 24 points here (but you have some to spare). Powers: This can be much more efficient (and is also falling short of PL caps, which you need to hit to be a PL 8 ) Here is what I would do: Comprehend 1 and Mind Shield 5 are fine listed on their own. (together these only cost 7 PP, 2 for Comprehend, 5 for Mind Sheild). The should be listed as such: Comprehend 1 (Speak 1 Language/Understand All) [2 PP] Mind Shield 5 [5 PP] As I mentioned above, you will want to get a Forcefield to boost your Toughness. If your Con stays at 12, you will need at least 7 ranks: Forcefield 7 [7 PP] Mind Reading and Telepathy are redundant (Telepathy includes Mind Reading) Also, Telepathy, Mind Blast and Telekinesis are not really things you will ever use together, so it is better to structure them into what is called an array (like I have with Synapse). This is a way to save points on them, and you have to switch between the alternate slots in an array to use a new power (something that can be done as a free action once per round). I would set is up something like this: Psychic Powers Array 18 (36 PP Array; Feats: Alternate Power 2) [38 PP] BP: Mental Blast 8 {36/36} AP: Telepathy 8 {16/36} AP: Telekinesis 8 (STR 40 [Hvy Load: 3 tons]; Extra: Targeted Area (Burst); Selective) {36/36} That array costs 38 PP totally. The Telepathy has a lot of unused points in it, so we could get some extras or other things to spend some of that, or add some other powers (you could put the comprehend in there, making it connected with using telepathy to spend a few points and save them outside the array.

Okay, going to have Veronica use her Cantrips variable pool to get Comprehend 1 (speak one language/understand all) (Area, Affects Others). Heri, Lulu does not pick up anything threatening in the area, pretty much the same stuff she was picking up before.

Multi-Girl Bernadette gave Aoife a nod at her thanks for explaining how to handle the laser gun and the basic rules. But when Vik began talking about what they might do in terms of topics and playfully teasing the redhead about her boyfriend, Bernadette's expression became more serious. "Aye, without bein' able ta use powers, this little excursion heavily favors him." She acknowledged before looking at the other two. "But, you are about as sneaky." She said, indicating Aoife. "Leon is pretty sneak as well, Luke a little less so. All three o' them are also pretty elusive, Charlie especially so. Not sure about Pol. I think if we want ta have a chance, Murine, we need you to follow either Vik or I as stealthily as you can. If Charlie or Leon tag us an' revel themselves, you take a shot an' try ta deal with them. If it is just Pol or Luke, don' engage just let us try ta deal with them, even if we lose. The moment you reveal yourself, if you haven' eliminated Charlie or Leon, they will likely tag you." "Sound good?"

@Huckleberry @The Sailor Made my IC post for Lawrence, as it made sense to kick off the stage with him providing Consuelo and Mizuki the speed boost stunt he did. Let's get some IC posts, then we can move on the final stage!

Timeout Normally Baz's antics where harmless and generally entertaining, able to lighten the mood of a situation. However, in this instance, it appeared Mizuki was particularly bothered by the encounter and snapped at the go-lucky teen. As Mizuki continued, a dark look came to Lawrence’s face as he listened to her talk about putting them in danger and not being ready. It was only there a few moments, but the blond teen still had a serious expression as he glanced over to his roommate. "Not right now Baz." He said evenly. He then walked over toward Mizuki. "You are putting too much on yourself Mizuki." He began. "Don't forget, I was fully prepared to walk down here alone to distract them while both you and Baz moved in. Perhaps a bit overconfident, but I also feel I have a good sense of what I can do, and when I should retreat to get help. You did not put us in danger, we voluntarily went into danger. You did what you had to, getting the injured security guards to safety." Lawrence then reached out to take one of Mizuki's hands. "As for you not being good enough, that is rubbish. You have had your powers a year, less? I have lived with mine all my life, and had the benefit of a host of teachers, including my mother, to help me with them. My mom was not joking in her speech during the holiday party about muddling her way through things when she got her powers as a teen. You remember Johnny Speed from our encounter with Quirk at the start of last month? My mom was just seventeen when she stumbled into a plot by the Tyranny Syndicate that led to her facing Johnny Speed, alone. And she beat him. She has said she did not feel up to it at the time, but she found a way to rise to the challenge. I am certain you can as well." "Michael has been fairly clear he has some of the same concerns as you, that is the whole reason he wanted to put together this group of us to start doing all we can to train to be ready for whatever might come our way. So, none of us have to just muddle our way through things."
