Party Crasher

[cosmicarus]

The scene stretched out below Heavy, a scene he'd caught many times before on news reports and entertainment specials - paparazzi lined a red carpet (this one embossed with stylised snowflakes), as movie stars, producers, directors, writers and anyone deemed worthy to be there made their way into the glitzy Watergardens Hall where this years Christmas Gala was taking place. Those now still outside are the last to arrive, and it looks like the exterior festivities are winding down with news camera crews winding up their coverage and some of the less enamoured (or possibly those with less resistance to the chill night air) making their way away from the spectacle. Despite their departure, there is still no shortage of people on the main street. There is even a small police presence - whether they were going to be attending the event anyway, or have been called because of the disturbance at Kirk's home cannot be seen. There are security guards, mostly serving as crowd control stationed around the front of the building, which is surrounded on all three non-street sides by alley ways cordoned off by said guards. As far as Heavy knows, he hasn't yet been spotted.

Heavy hovers over the scene. If he doesn't have police choppers in pursuit, he'd be very surprised. After all, there wasn't a way to tell the guard that he wasn't the one who killed those people, not in a way that'd get him believed, and he was fleeing a crime scene. He'll have to work fast.

He looks over to a transformer on a nearby rooftop and takes a deep breath. He sends out a blast of gravitic force, smashing it to pieces and (hopefully) causing a local blackout. He doesn't need long, and cover of dark won't affect his ability to see. If it works like he hopes, he can do a quick sweep of the area and see if he can see Kirk.

The transformer explodes in a flash of light and sparks, in direct contrast to the darkness that follows it. If you were to be floating above Freedom City at that moment, as Heavy was, it would look as if darkness had swallowed a portion of the glittering lights in Hanover. While this did give Heavy some cover, it also provided a beacon to those who may also see things from the same perspective. It's now that Heavy can make out the lights from the helicopters following him - they're far off for the moment, but they;re coming. There are sounds down on the street, and the lights of the police cars now flash like blue and white bouys in a sea of night time darkness.

Heavy grins to himself as his plan comes together. While a sudden power failure is going to draw a lot of attention - especially with the very real threat that he just called in - it's going to be less than what would have happened if he had tried to fly down there without any cover. He steps over the side of the ledge and zooms down through the hall. He goes as fast as he can while still being able to look for Kirk. With a maximum speed of nearly 200 miles per hour, it's his eyes that slow him up.

Of course, if he should spot any of the other villains seeking to capture Kirk, they may grab his attention as well, depending on the threat they pose to Heavy or to his ability to capture Kirk first.

Unfortunately, Heavy's fear seems to have been made manifest. He causes quite a commotion, travelling fairly quickly over the heads the confused socialites, but as he looks around, Kirk is nowhere to be seen. With normal vision, all Heavy would see was a sea of lights - the party goers using their mobile phones to try and feel their way around. Using his suits senses, however, in the back of the room, just in front of the open kitchen doors, a group of police officers are talking to some patrons. They've ceased their discussion and now, like most in the room, they're trying to pinpoint where all the 'whoosing' is coming from. It's not hard to make out from body language and mess inside the kitchen, however, that something has made it's way back through that kitchen door. With Kirk gone, it's possible that whatever it was took them man with him, or perhaps it decided to continue it's own search elsewhere.

Heavy grins to himself once again inside the suit. He could smash through the walls - they're paper-thin to someone of his strength. Still, there are advantages to being more subtle, not least of all keeping the other villains in the dark as to who had made his way there. If possible, he will fly through the upper portion of the doorway and through the kitchen to see who has gone out that way. Otherwise, he'll exit the way that he entered and fly around to the back of the building.

"I haven't felt this alive in years," Sean thinks to himself. "Getting out was a good idea."

Sean breezes through the kitchen, the cooks and wait staff all looking ahead until they hear Heavy roar up behind them - it seems whatever ran through here with the mark has just left. Heavy moves fast, following the trail of shocked faces, strewn pots, pans and kitchen accessories and then side tables and wall hangings when he reaches a hall. Finally he makes it outside to the sound of crashing metal and he sees two things immediately - a trash can wobbling before toppling over and a thin, rat-like tail disappearing down a nearby open sewer drain.

Sean grits his teeth inside his helmet and thinks to himself, "Times like these, I wish I had asked Talos to put X-ray vision on that thing. I don't even know if he's got him. But if he does, I can't hurt him, so no busting through the ground."

The thought passes in an instant; Heavy's already accelerating to catch the grate before it recloses. He knows he'll be going down into someone else's home territory, and that's always more dangerous.

Heavy's armour barely makes in through the large hole, scraping the sides as it does so. Using his suits sensors, the darkness before him is as daytime, and Sean can clearly see the vernimous rat man he first saw at the meeting earlier that night - a meeting that seemed to take place years ago, now. It's not a time for reminiscing, however, as now held in the villanous vermin's strong tail is none other that actor Adam Kirk - unconcious and looking only a little worse for wear, despite his adventure. Hearing Heavy's entrance, the rat man turns as he runs - he grows angry when he sees he's being followed, "No! He'ss mine! I foundsst him! Gets your own!" He races off, expertly navigating the sewerage tunnels as Heavy gives chase. Sean's suit makes him much faster than the rodent, but he's in enemy territory, and this enemy knows every nook and cranny of that dark, dank place...

...that is, until he makes a wrong turn. Deep in the sewer, the rat man darts to one side and Sean loses him. For a few frantic moments it seems that the mark may, indeed, be lost - that is until Sean hears the howl. A high pitched screech coming from a passageway to Sean's left. Turning, he sees the rat man again, only this time the giant rodent is running at him, and it seems he's left Adam behind. The rat runs frantically past Heavy, bumping him on the way, "Nooooo! It bitessss - all over it bitesss..." It keeps screaming as it makes it's way down the sewer.
