He can't reach her this round, but he can head in her direction,y eah. -
Whistler folded his arms and stared at Gabriel, not moving but not otherwise backing down. For a moment Gabriel thought he was going to have trouble with this one, before Whistler moved his lips in a slow, deliberate speech that the Irish-American hero could read without being able to hear. Whistler pointed to where Singularity was sitting down inside her cell, face white but no longer panicking. It was hard to tell whether his powers had actually worked through whatever automatic sonic baffles kept Whistler in place, but the other man wasn't moving from the spot even with the glass around his cell still fully retracted. Behind Gabriel, the guards were trying to get their blasted-open panel working, but with no results. "Can't call out, can't get out with the two shafts blocked...this is a nightmare." One of the guards, the woman who had been working with Miss A earlier, said to Gabriel seriously, "Listen, man, I heard your friend hit the bottom of the elevator. The only thing down there is the reactor, and if he gets to that and overloads it with his pike, he can collapse the mountain. That's our last line of defense here, in case of a full Omega-level event. It'll kill everyone in the prison." she added frankly.

I'll say the roof has the same Tou as six inches of stone, which happens to be Tou 7. It takes 10 on the save for a total of 17, failing the Tou save by 17. Which means it collapses. But not on anyone! Stupid die roll in chat getting in the way of Erin's murder spree. Why is the crazy person so un-Wrathful? :evil: -
A normal teenager would have been turned away in a hurry, but not Myrmidon, a respected young hero. This close, John could see the fear that the security guard was trying to suppress. "Star Knight went insane at the courthouse this morning," he said shortly, "she killed a defendant and his lawyer on the courthouse steps, and two inmates when she opened fire on the jail. We tried to call her back here, but she flew in the roof and said we were all against her, and then she began attacking everyone! We've already lost people and-" There was another tremendous crash from inside, knocking loose a shower of debris, that finally sent the guy running, sheparding his charges from inside the building but leaving this super-disaster to a superhero. - Inside at that moment, Fleur and company stepped out of a flower just as Star Knight came crashing down through the ceiling. The armored heroine had blood on her armor and was covered in dust, and was standing over the smashed-dead body of a guard that had fallen through the hole just ahead of her. "Hahaha-oh hey, Fleur and Gaian Knight," said the maddened space knight from inside her armor, sounding maniacally pleasant. "Are YOU going to give me a speech about how I should start pulling my punches when dealing with the criminal scum of the universe? Because let's not fool ourselves, I'm getting _really_ tired of hearing that, and I am not afraid to PULL YOU UP BY THE ROOTS! Ahaha!'

The trip west across the ruins of North America was eerie, especially since it was so deserted, albeit fast enough thanks to Bee-Keeper's speedy armor. There were no animals save the occasional distant bird or scuttling mouse, all looking to belong to no earthly species, and the heroes lived on wild plants and preserved food as they made their trip. From their ersatz flying bus, the heroes could see for hundreds of miles around them every day that Bee-Keeper scooped them up and began the slow, cautious flight across Ohio and Indiana, frequently dipping low beneath the skyline or pausing altogether in a deep forest to make sure no one was spying on them. There was no way to be sure the measures helped, but none of them wanted to take any chances. Along the way, Steve talked about what he knew of the spaceship in Chicago: it was owned by the Lor officer assigned to the military protectorate of Earth, one who had decided his responsibilities included living and working among superheroes. Steve had only met Captain Neutron once (as the blue-skinned Lor called himself), but he remembered the man's interstellar craft well enough. If it was there, and if it had been copied accurately, perhaps that was something they could try. Now that they knew the grim risk to all their friends, they knew they had to try anything. But then, not far outside Chicago itself, something remarkable happened. On the morning of the second day, in their campsite near the Indiana Dunes, the heroes opened their eyes to something they hadn't seen since their arrival. The _Sun_. Well, not _the_ Sun, but the perpetual cloud cover over their heads that had warped their sense of time and direction was gone. The star overhead was a little larger than the Sun, and perhaps the wrong shade of yellow, but there it was, its outline partially eclipsed by one of the gigantic black squares that marked the passage of day and night on the ringworld below, the square gradually fading into invisibility like the Moon after an eclipse. And from that just-off-blue sky, there came a streak of light, a tumbling, fast-moving object that disappeared into the Chicago skyline nearby with a faint boom, and then a sudden silence.

That looks fine, go ahead and go, TK

OK, this is a cool maneuver, so I'll allow it. if it works, BJ will lose whatever APs in her array she's not actively using. Rav, roll your Notice to oppose.

"I'm counting on you three to be the first line of defense for the rest of the school," said Summers gravely. "Along with whatever members of Young Freedom have not already been corrupted. If the worst does happen, you will delay Young Freedom long enough for the rest of the school to rally your defense. Your defense will defend our school _and_ the world from what could potentially be the gravest threats it has ever faced. There is some risk involved, but if you think it's too dangerous..." It was the sort of implied question no teenage hero could answer any other way, and so within a few minutes Summers was leading them all downstairs to the big security vault underneath the administration building. There was plenty to do down here, even once Summers had left them: detailed diagrams of the top floors of the building, non-lethal weapons like electrified net guns, glue bombs, and other devices designed to hold supervillains or rampaging seniors alike, and lots and lots of material about their enemies. Young Freedom, or, rather, the enemies passing for them, certainly sounded grim: Kinigosi were evidently a race of predatory carnivores with an appetite for the kinds of heavy metal found in human bones, where electronic intelligences like Sharl were notorious for being among the most brutal of killers of superheroes. Upstairs, eventually Summers gave the signal that Young Freedom was arriving and turned on the monitor inside his office. The black and white feed from behind the front door wasn't great quality, but he'd explained this way there was no way to jam it at this frequency. Young Freedom came in and took their seats, and Sharl, looking edgy and nervous, like a coke addict maybe, started explaining what had happened: how Young Freedom had crossed into another dimension and allied with the murderous cyber-intelligences there, had 'persuaded them' not to be evil anymore through some shaky-sounding mechanism, and then returned carrying their biological weapons back to Freedom City. And then the signal, despite Summers' promises of earlier, began to fuzz out...and then it all happened at once: Citizen shoved his hand through Summers' chest, causing sparks so bright they seemed to fry out the camera for a second. Just as everyone down in the Vault was on their feet, the signal cleared up again; Young Freedom was all standing over the burnt corpse of Duncan Summers while Wraith bent low over the body and began to tug and yank his flesh open...

Suddenly, Citizen re-appeared. Not from the deactivated emitter, but from the little rotating holographic display on Summers' desk that had once held a picture of the Lor homeworld. Six inches tall, Sharl's appearance might have been comical under any other circumstances. "-my god! You guys!" he yelled, waving his little hands frantically. "That shouldn't have hurt a human! That shouldn't have done anything to him! That kind of electromagnetic charge would only have hurt a machine, I don't..." He raised his head and yelled as if to thin air, "Miss A! Miss A! Miss A!" His eyes widened as he did so, and he said, "She's not...she's not answering, but...I'm tapped into the city's network. This whole city is going crazy! Heroes are fighting each other, they're...some of them are murdering people," he said, hand briefly over his mouth. "Papercut, turn my emitter back on!" he said urgently. "I have to get Tronik and we have to get out of here! We can't risk them _or_ the bioweapon getting cracked open in whatever this is! I don't even know if this is the right universe. We can come back and-" Suddenly, the lights in the room flickered and went out; only sunlight, the exit lights, and the illumination from Sharl's teeny projector illuminating the room. "We've got to get out of here and back to the Wonderbus, now!"

Available canon NPCs (not already being used in threads): Magni Thorsson Changeling [the Grue one] Foreshadow Bowman Maximus Atom Victoria Atom Dr. Stratos Orion I know that's not as many as some folks were looking for, but it's the other team who wants the Day of Wrath to be all about fighting. KD: That's fine. Assume that the Wrath Boxes are heavily guarded by Foundry bots (see the FC book for information about their capability) in secret underground installations in Freedom City. Destroying them will shut down the non-in-thread Wrathful in the general area.

"When my hands touched your naked flesh, did you never imagine where they had been before? What deeds I had committed with them?" Harrier laughed a bitter laugh, his voice as acrid and pungent as acid eating through steel. "You know nothing about me, about the man I am, because you were too wrapped up in your own pathetic little neuroses to ask. Stupid woman, I have..." He leaned close, and told her something he had done. "and you think the death of one betrayer, or twenty pawns, means anything to me? Feh, where is your brilliance now? Take whatever sordid trauma left you so broken and begone from my life. I have found a new and greater master. JUSTICE." And with that, he squeezed the trigger on the pike he was still clutching, still pointed down and away from anyone, and a brilliant flash of searing white light washed over Miss Americana's sensors. The mini-EMP pulse didn't attack Gina directly, or even the physical manifestation of the robot: after all, Steve knew both too well for that. All he did was briefly fry her servos, letting him shove her aside and simply step through the hole he'd carved in the base of the elevator car, disappearing into the darkness below.

Okay, escaping as a Move Action: 38 With her newly reduced grapple score, Miss A loses her grip And Harrier takes a five foot step through the hole in the floor of the car and falls through to the reactor level three stories down. His impervious is enough to soak the fall without having to roll. Gabriel is up.

Edge teleports them down to Redbird, then surges, spending an HP to cancel the fatigue, teleporting Redbird, Midnight, and Renard down to the entrance to the subway station. Then my Flying Brick flies in and makes an Intimidate check, but it doesn't matter because Wander is already demoralized! New round? Yeah. Sage is up. -

White-faced behind his mask, Edge appeared in darkness, gathering up Midnight and Renard by feel and dropping them down onto Redbird, knowing Trevor would need the extra mobility, not to mention that he couldn't just walk into the inside of a crowded subway station he'd never seen before. Mark was deeply frazzled, as one would expect for someone who had just overhead his friend brutally murder someone and take an innocent hostage, but say what you will for him he always came through in a crisis. I do, don't I? But I couldn't stop Erin... Suddenly, over their heads, he saw something come whooshing out of the darkened, shattered office and smash its way into the subway station just down the street. "Ohhh craaap..." And then Mark concentrated with all his might, pushing through the explosion of pain, and they were right there at the entrance to the subway station as terrified people streamed out past them on either side. Down below, Wander, Cannonade, and Cobalt Templar's tete-a-tete had just been interrupted by an angry young man in black slacks and a red shirt who seemed to be hovering in mid-air. "Hey, lady! I don't know what kind of psycho you are!" he shouted as he tossed aside a fleeing tourist, "but nobody kills the master of the Labyrinth and just runs away! I'm going to put your head on my wall!" Under other circumstances, the flying brick who had just powered his way through a subway station's security doors would surely have been at least a moderate problem. -
"I do," said Summers, his brow furrowing and storm clouds seeming to appear over his grey head. "As much as it pains me to admit it, I believe that agents of the Terminus, both from Nihilor and hired mercenaries from this dimension, have replaced some or all of the members of the current iteration of Young Freedom. I suspect that the machine intelligence known as Sharl Tulink was replaced with an Annihilist version of himself, whereas a member of a predatory alien race known as the Kinigosi is currently passing for Indira Singh." They were frightening words for any Claremont student; Sharl and Indira were both among the most powerful, well-connected students at the school, and the rest of Young Freedom was no better. "But I won't act against any of my students without proof, which is why I want you all to help me." He looked from one to the other, his usually grim face more serious than they'd ever seen it. "I want you to be down in the administration security vault, watching on the live feed in my office, when I confront their team in an hour. They're returning from a 'rescue' mission to another dimension, which I believe was a code for gathering supplies for an attack against the civilian population of the city. I know I'm taking a risk, but..." Summers looked away for a moment, his old man's voice tightening for a fraction. "They're my students, my children. Their fate is my responsibility, and if I can find out if any of them have been compromised...well, it's worth a little risk to this old man."
