Mike smiled to Alex and gave her hand a squeeze, "It was quite the shock yes." he agreed as his memories flickered over the events of Zoes arrival and the revelation of who she really was. "It has taken ... Alot of adjustment, She's very frightened still and just trying to avoid everything that happened ... Will have happened?" he shrugged ignoring the confusing tenses of time travel. "I think its more than public relations. Its a matter of who we all are and how we view all of our heroes." he explained, "We have responsibilities beyond just using our gifts to help directly. We are examples of what those with the will to do so can achieve." He shrugged slightly uncomfortably, "I don't know it seems like some of us only want to beat up the bad guys and forget about what an example we can be. You can't do that when you're lying about who and what you really are."

Mike was still recovering from the impact when the tangled mass of metal which had all but enveloped him vanished in a puff of brimstone. He looked on in shock concern still creasing his face as James knelt to heal Eddie and got a solid shot to the face for his trouble. Mike looked away to Mark, "You ok?" he asked as Zoe spouted off on her tirade against Eddie. When he was sure Mark hadn't been hurt he started to limp over toward Alex blood seeping down his leg from the gashes left by the car and came up short as she as always pulled herself back together first. As the wounds on his leg healed he nodded to her and turned to Zoe sternly, 'No more running Zoe. Follow me.' his thoughts sounded in her mind as he walked out and down the hall to an empty conference room and leaned easily against the table therein waiting for her.

JJ sighed this was precisely what he had been trying to avoid but there was little use now. The the group assembled before him he had little choice but to acquiesce. He replied first in Cantonese as well, <"Very well."> though he took a step back from Avenger as he spoke, <"I must take pre-cautions however."> Returning his attention to the rest of the gathered crowd he made a small nod as he excused himself with a simple, "Be seeing you." He made a quick gesture as he spoke a simple phrase of power to open the ways to himself, "eo occultus mores." Then a small slit of light formed slicing through the air to his right to open into a small portal which he stepped through and into Jack and Taylors Living Room the portal sealing immediately behind him.

Go ahead and roll connections that should do. though honestly its more a formality than anything. With your conection to ASTRO labs you don't have to if you don't want to but rolling Dice is FUN!

Mike had neither Erins situational awareness nor reflexes. He barely noticed the car squealing towards them by the time his faster teammate had already pushed James out of the way and rolled clear. He didn't have time to move, he hardly had time to turn and sweep Mark behind him before the impact. Throwing his free arm up to shield his face he planted his feet and braced for the impact just as the car hit. With titanic force and a deafening crash the sleek sports car slammed into him. It was almost like slow motion to his eyes the bumper wrapping around his legs as the panels crumpled and glass shattered outwards. Jagged shrapnel of the impact sliced through his tattered Tux and bit into his impervious skin. The vehicle flattened against him crushing around his steely form. As the dust cleared the car was mangled almost beyond recognition Eddies unconscious form trapped within the tangled wreckage.
-
The false Avenger looked over the group and couldn't help but smile at Stesha, always the soft touch. He gave a small shake of his head to Jack of All Blades, "Not bad cop." he said flatly eyes shifting to Phantom warily, it was clear who he was concerned with of the group and it certainly wasn't Avenger. "Matters have become ... Complicated." he explained evasively. His posture still arched challengingly as he gazed at the group through the holes in his mask.
-
As I said mike interposes for mark and thats below his impervious threshhold so no damage. If Quote wants to take me up on my offer to have mike face his full DC 39 sillyness from chat I'll blow ultimate toughness for a 38 and take a bruise and an Injury.
-
"Ho boy..." JJ murmured as the quintet of heroes arrived. His eyes flashed to Jack of all Blades for a moment then back to the group he had been trying thus far to evade. Did the swordsman send a message somehow? Taking a small step backwards almost involuntarily he looked over the group considering his options. With all of them there escape was almost impossible. 'Avenger' cocked his head warily, "Ask." he said simply dropping back into the avenger voice and persona. Hands hanging lightly at his sides in a lazy predatory manner.

Ok to use movement powers in a slam you must move the distance of one move action. As rank 22 speed is like lightspeed or higher obviously he doesn't have the room to do that. We're willing to say traffic is light and he gets a couple blocks of runway. I'd say he can manage speed 4 +1 for every 5 he gets over 10 on a drive check. (And no he can't rework his VP to get drive ranks that's been set for the round) 23 will miss Erin but only by one so she'll still be caught in the AOE of the "Large object" I'm going to say that anyone within 5' of James is effected as well so Mike, Mark and Erin. Erin is already taking the shot for James though so he's safe. Mike will interpose for his squishy buddy Mark Reflex DC = 10+damage bonus Damage bonus = 2(normal move) + 4(Speed) + 1 for every five Eddies drive check exceeds 10 So give us that Drive check quote.
-
Yea AA told quote we were out of rounds. This is effectively the start of a new combat, and a surprise round. Anyone with danger sense gets their check to have it go off. Anyone else is surprised. Surprise doesn't stop reactions however so interpose is still valid, though without uncanny dodge/danger sense anyone trying such will be flat footed for the attempt. Cars are generally AOEish effects so anyone near James is a potential target. This includes as of the end of hte last combat: Mike, Mark, James, and if she moved to there in the downtime Erin. Once We have quotes full details we'll see what exactly goes on.
-
Mike turned back towards James but already his mind was beginning to catch up with his reactions. As Mark stepped between him and James his raised fist dropped to his side. He shook his head slowly, "No Mark I'm not." he said eyes downcast with shame. He strained every moment of every day to hold back and he had slipped and almost hurt someone he once called a friend. His eyes slid to James with a small shake of his head, "I'm sorry James. I just lost it, I ..." he trailed off. He couldn't really explain what had driven him into that anger, he didn't even really know. He turned to Zoe and just shook his head in disappointment, 'We'll talk about this later.' he thought to her disappointment thick in his thoughts.
-
Mike's countenance hardened ever so slightly at the mention of Zoes traumas and existence, "As proof that the Terminus mutation carries on and with her particular powers ..." he trails off uncomfortably, "People could react more poorly than they do to Alex or would to others, She has enough to deal with without that." he finished mildly uncomfortably. "She may have told Mr. Summers, she spoke to him before we found out and he set her up at Claremont." he further explained.
-
Phalanx stoically held and soothed Zoe, an emotional rock in the storm of her flashback. He turned and flew them back to shore arriving a few moments later and set the mostly recovered Zoe back on her feet as he awkwardly straightened his costume. He looked to Mark with concern as Alex moved to hurry his bodies healing. "You ok?" he asked his friend with real concern, "What happened?"
-
Mike blushed a deep red at Elenas term for their relationship and opened his mouth to correct her when Alex laid a hand on his arm and he quieted though still mildly uncomfortable, 'Why does every one think we're ...' he asked silently of Alex though he wasn't really wanting or expecting an answer. He turned in surprise at her revelation of Zoes existence, but settled easily enough as Alex clearly trusted this women. When Alex spoke of her plans to have him reveal himself later his eyes went wide, 'You never told me that.' he said uncertain what she meant by ready but in many ways he knew, He had enough doubts still about his powers as it was. Mike looked back to Elena still mildly discomforted by the topic of conversation, "From some peoples response already I think the facilities we were tested in would be gentle by comparison, especially if the first of us to be revealed lost control or hurt someone." He added to Alex's explanation, he certainly didn't want that for Zoe but he also felt that Alex had done a service for all of them by doing what she did.
-
Mike was mildly surprised by the mental communique but unlike most minds she touched Elena didn't sense any of the discomfort most held for such examples of psychic power. He nodded to Alex, "Oh right of course then." he said and glanced to Elena then spun in a sudden blur as he switched back to his civilian clothes. The blue and gold of his costume replaced in the blink of an eye with a loose fitting T-shirt and faded jeans. As he came to a stop he pulled a pair of glasses from a case in one pocket and placed them over his eyes. He of course had no need of them but it was a recent nod to protecting his identity in the wake of Alex's revelation of her true nature. "Its a pleasure ma'am." he said with a smile to Elena, his posture somewhat more drawn in and his voice lacking some of the timber he adopted as Phalanx. He looked to Alex, "Well she asked so nicely." he said with a shrug, "It only took a second." he was still a little uncomfortable with his fame.
-
Phalanx didn't really know what Alexs plan was though her having him wait several hundred feet over her office while waiting for her signal meant she was up to something. He assumed it was some kind of photo op for either Young Freedom or perhaps AEON. At her silent signal he did an easy roll and dropped out of the sky swirling contrail marking his descent. He leveled out at the last moment to swoop in through the window, sunlight glinting off the bronzed bracers and boots of his blue and gold costume. He came to a stop in the middle of the room and dropped the last few feet to the ground with a smile as he walked the final few steps to Elena, he always felt odd hovering in front of those who couldn't fly almost like it was gloating. He held out one big hand her direction and introduced himself, "Hello I'm Phalanx." he said and glanced to Alex with a slightly softer smile, "You must be a friend of Alex's." he added in his low crisp tone.
-
No vaportrail. Well say its basically electromagnetic though this isn't a signature you have seen before. The trails head out and almost straight up before separating off in the cardinal directions.
-
Mike struggled with Erin for a moment as she tried to tackle him then raised her over his head and threw her in James direction with a growled, "Get off me." In his enraged state his aim was off and she slammed into the wall next to him. When he missed he grumbled as he closed the distance quickly between James and himself only to Have Erin thrust herself in the path of his attack. Frustration mounting Mike spun flinging her once again across the room and out of his way.
-
Alright I'll extra effort to surge and toss Erin away. Not that that is all that effective given her speed/leaping and place in initiative but none the less, he's not mad at her.
-
Ahh looks like he has uncanny dodge: Olfactory ... So he gets out the way and Erin hits something else. Lets say an adjacent wall so she can still interpose?
-
Spend an HP to clear the fatigue from the stunt. Ah grappling how I loathe the. So I Won the grapple. I choose throw and throw Erin at james. Or given my Ranged attack mod more likely in his general direction. Attack roll to hit James with improvised thrown Erin. (1d20+6=16) As James hasn't had his initiative come up yet I think he's flat footed? If so that hits if not that misses. Thrown damage is I think equal to no more than each of their toughness's? Or my strength damage. If my Strength damage that'll be a DC 31 toughness Move: Move to James. Standard: All out attack to initiate grapple. Attack roll to initiate Grapple followed by Grapple check. (1d20+15=31, 1d20+42=53) If that is successful I'll choose damage in the form of shakeing. DC 31 toughness.
-
Probably. Its a pretty small line in there and easy to miss.
-
Ok to put it simply we use half your base defense rounded down as your Flat footed defense. So even numbers are optimized. So a base defense of 7 is a 3 Flat footed defense same as a 6, an 8 will raise your Flat footed to 4
-
Grapple Check (1d20+37=56) Edge! Reroll cus edge is a meanie (1d20+37=56) Snerk LOL!
