A single lashing tentacle of slick, inky dots whipped out at Chris Kenzie, as if ready to pull him inside and make him disappear forever. But Wander's shout, and Chris' own nimble agility, seemed to interrupt something, and instead of grabbing him, it simply slapped against the back of his head, a thick, wet feeling as a faint afterglow of the slick black fluid of the universe itself seeped through his hair. But then the great shape in the shadows faded, leaving the two heroes alone in a quiet, empty house with an unconscious supervillain. A few moments later, Hell-Ion's teleporter reached them both, and they vanished in twin bursts of bright red ion fire.

Wander's witty quip seemed to make her blow fly straight and true. She clobbered Spellbound with a single backhand swipe, sending the teen science witch tumbling to the ground with a loud thump. Just as Wander made her landing to take stock of herself, Chris, and the fallen villain, she saw the shadows behind Chris rise up into a single mass, a shambling, terrible form of inky blots reaching out for him!

"I know the feeling," said Avenger quietly. He was quiet for a moment, studying her, before he spoke. "Because something like that happened to me a few years ago. Anya. The woman who attacked you was a vampire. I'm familiar with what kind of thing she was; what she did to you is how vampires like her make more of each other. She made you into a vampire." He was quiet at that, waiting for her response.

Feel free to Notice and see what's going on, Ecal.

Erin arrived in the middle of a battle; the flying, cackling witch above hurling fireballs at the 'Raven' as Chris whirled and jumped to avoid her attacks. He was keeping up his usual string of insults, but as Erin watched, the shadows in the deserted house were beginning to lengthen ever-so-slightly, a faint rim of inky black dots around their edges as they ever-so-slowly made their way towards the trash-talking hero.

Fisticuffs 2: Avenger vs Lukos (IC)
Avenger Assembled replied to Geez3r's topic in Sewers and Subways
Still a cloud of drifting mist, Avenger rose high, just below where he thought Lukos was likely to be able to leap. He didn't know that for sure, of course, but he ad dealt with angry werewolves before. "Go on! Show them a werewolf's rage! Show them his hate!" He laughed, though he didn't really mean it. "Show them the ravening beast inside, the monster that forever tears you away from the heart and soul of man! Let every superhero in Freedom City know what you _really_ are!" -
Avenger does the most obnoxious thing possible under the circumstances. He flies to the ceiling and waits. He'll wait there till Lukos becomes exhausted, quote, if you want to skip ahead to that.

Jack of all Blades' briefly neglected orange juice came up and poured itself all over the swordsman's face, too fast for the energy-wielding swashbuckler to react. As the juice dripped down Erik's face, Avenger appeared by the Underground door. "Gave you fair warning. See you all in a week." And with that, and perhaps a low chuckle, he was gone, this time with just a faint whisper in the air to mark his passage as he left the brownstone.
-
Standard Action+Move-By Action+Speed 7 linked with Concealment. And yes, you all obviously get an additional HP (on top of the one for protecting your home) for when Avenger shows up again next week. ;)
-
"You don't need to repay me," said Jack, shaking his head. She was in better shape than most, but her injuries and her change were both written obviously on her face and body."I want to help you, but you're going to have to help me first." He studied her, remembering those early, feral nights. "How did this happen to you?" he asked her.
-
Sorus, if you want to go ahead and sing, you can just assume that Chris has (once again) been replaced with an evil duplicate from another dimension/the Grue/etc. ;)

You should make a dynamic AP of Flight and Super-Strength. Buy Teleport 9 (flaw: only where light could go)? as an AP of your big array? Also, a 1 PP Immunity: The Sun?
-
"I'll be back here in exactly a week," said Avenger evenly. "And I'll make my own way out," he added politely, wrapping the mask around his face again. "Seems fitting. Lock your doors. Can't stress that enough." He looked around at all of them, his face hard to read behind his mask. See how it goes from here. And with that, and with all of them looking, he was simply gone.

The One Where They Fight The Nazis (IC)
Avenger Assembled replied to Avenger Assembled's topic in Kingston
"Ah'll give you both what you've got coming!" spat the Klansman, who drew a K-shaped bomb from his belt and hurled it at the ground. Between the rush of air from outside and the noise of the erupting smoke bomb, soon he'd disappeared into the depths of the airship behind them. Outside the kids could see White Knight and Fulcrum grappling with each other, the noise of super-powered punches audible even this far away. -
The One Where They Fight The Nazis (OOC)
Avenger Assembled replied to Avenger Assembled's topic in Archives
OK, I need a DC 25 Notice check from Sage and Rift. And then Sage will be up. -
"I know what you want." This was never an easy experience, Jack knew, and it was better to get it over with fast. Reaching into his shirt, he came out with an open medical bag full of blood, straight of his own stock, and tossed it to her so fast she caught it automatically. "Drink." It wasn't much of a command: he doubted she'd actually need one.
-
The darkness around Anya slowly parted, revealing a tall, muscular man in an open-collared shirt and tight jeans, his dark hair cascading down to his shoulders. Kneeling down in front of her, he looked her in the eye. "Hello. My name is Jack." He gave her a steady look, piercing her with his eyes. "I'm here to help. But you need to calm down."

A shimmer and flash of light got the suitably-disguised Trevor into a corner of Claremont High, an obvious reflection of his current high school. It wasn't that hard to find Sage, either, not with a vaguely-familiar Ms. Harcourt announcing to the auditorium full of admiring parents, teachers, and students, "Ladies and gentlemen, in honor of our brave soldiers, we're proud to present to you the Parisian Pixie, the Eiffel Idol: Eve Martel, here to sing our National Anthem!" And with that, everyone rose to clap, Sage bustling out in a hugely patriotic dress, an odd look on her face, as if her mind was elsewhere. Meanwhile, Hell-Ion's advanced sci-sensors had easily picked out Chris Kenzie, wearing a bizarre reflection of the Raven's costume as he battled a maniacally laughing witch-woman. All around him, though, at the very edges of the shadows, Hell-Ion could see the universe beginning to waver ever-so-slightly. - "Gecko-Man is reality," said Spellbound, still holding her jaw. "It's you who's fake! You who's a big bully who hits girls and acts like a big jerk! You're not what you're supposed to be at all. But when Geckoman and I destroy you," she said, her voice getting harder, "things will be right again, and he and I can be together forever and ever and ever and ever and..." She cackled and waggled her fingers, and Raven's boomerang turned into a hissing, venomous snake! "Destroy him, my pretty!""

"As thrilling as it is to watch grown men bedevil children, I think I have other business here." Avenger rose to his feet and rolled his shoulders, looking down at Lukos. "Your pack leader wants you to suffer tonight? Let's go get this over with. I'm going to change." He prowled his way down and out of the crowd, using one of the surviving restrooms to change into his costume, before disappearing completely. -
Just remember, Gizmo, it's awesome to be Spiderman. Just don't be the Spiderman who sold his soul to the devil. ;)
-
Wow. I have to say, I think Jack of Blades owes Dynamo an apology.
-
Do people a favor and see what you get. "Okay," said Avenger, all easily affable, if slightly baffled, cordiality. He really didn't understand these people at all, but it seemed like the incomprehension was mutual. That, and everything else, made it all right. Would they be this paranoid if they weren't hiding something? He reminded himself, again thinking about human behavior, that that was probably not the case. The Interceptors were not plotting to murder him and his family in their sleep. Probably. Superheroes in Freedom City didn't do that sort of thing. Anymore. Much. "I'll write something up this week and mail it to you, then, in case your friend is slow to get back to you on fixing the place?" He looked around, evidently waiting for a response.
-
That will find him easy, Sorus.
-
A voice spoke from the darkness, its owner invisible. "Thank you, Mongrel Angel. I'll take it from here." He was very, very leery around Mongrel Angel, even though she wasn't nearly as terrifying as the real one that lived on Lantern Hill. "Your business here is done, I think?" Discussing business, family business, that wasn't for the ears of someone like her.

"I think you've offended your alpha," replied Avenger, his eyes still flat like a shark's. "I think he thinks I'm going to beat you to death and send your head back as a display of my power, the way Melinda used to do when the werewolves challenged her authority in the city. You're in a more common position than you think. It's how the head dogs stay in charge. Take the strongest, the bravest of your young males, and have someone kill them for you. I imagine it's how most werewolf leaders stay in power once they start getting old. But I'm not Melinda. I'm not going to kill anyone, even a werewolf."
