[Mutants & Masterminds / DC Adventures] Freedomverse Issue #1 "Black & White"
Hex fished through the pages of the Grimoire, scribbling notes for herself on Post-Its and sticking them on here and there to keep track of the modifications. After a moment she looked up at everyone and nodded.
"Ready as I'll ever be. Let me know when they're ready, Astral."

Astral nodded and closed her eyes, calming her mind and opening it. She filtered out the nearby ‘voices’ and reached into the museum, finding the hostages.
Stay calm, don’t move, and just listen, Astral spoke quietly into their minds. We are the Freedom League. Help is on the way. We will get you out safely. You will feel a touch of power. Do not resist it. Let it happen and you will be free of here, she promised.
Astral opened her eyes. “Okay, Hex. We’re ready,” she told the mage.

"Right then."
Hex took a breath, then started reading from the Grimoire. Almost immediately the air was heavy with the smell of ozone and an oppressive heaviness. A dark grey cloud erupted from thin air over the museum and roiled with pink and violet lightning within it. Similar colored sparks of energy gathered around Hex's hands and arms, arcing over her as the spell gained momentum.
At the height of the spell, a shimmering lavender energy filmed over her eyes as she sent her perceptions into the museum to spot the hostages. Thunder boomed overhead...and the cloud spat a lance of brilliant lightning downward!
The lightning sluiced through the roof of the building as if it wasn't even there, causing no damage in the process. It branched, splitting into countless dozens of arms that spread into the hostages, each one finding a single target out.
(They may make a Dodge resistance check if they wish)
Those who allow, or fail to move quickly enough to avoid, the lightning are consumed in flashes of light, and ripples of thunder reverberate through the museum!
An instant later, another bolt of lightning descends behind the police line. Those who vanished within the museum reappear there, in exactly the formation they'd been before. Only now, safe.
Hex gasps and puts a hand to her temple as the strain of the spell hits. She swallows nervously then looks up and nods.
(Going to save my HP, so 1 level of fatigue taken!)

At Hex's cue, Hawk uses his mastery over the fundamental forces gravity to bend space/time and the heroes quickly replace the excavated innocents.
"My oh my! I told yew we'd have company, White Knight! Seems like we have ourselves some Junior Leaguers here!" The saber-wielding clansman called from the Diamond display.
"Damn! I was hopin' to roast me up some 'dark meat' Johnny Reb. But I guess I will hafta settle for these wannabes! BURN HEROES!"
