[QUOTE="Macbeth, post: 2374764, member: 11259"] Bob stopped by the river. Even when moving at a few hundred miles per hour, it was still fairly calm, with the downtown area visible on the other bank. It wal almost enough to make him want to slow down, but Bob never really slowed down. He grabbed a huge handful of mud from the bank and ran back to the hanger. Inside the battle raged. As bob weaved his way through the gorilla-like robots and super heros trading blows, he took stock of the people he might call friends as they battled. Templar had actually jumped onto the shoulder of one of the combat models, and he was trying his best to punch through the armor shell with his destrcutive touch. "God Almighty this thing is tough" Bob heard him say like a slow record as he ran by. Mr. Black was at the other end of the room, pulling a mini-rocket launcher out of the box of toys he took with him when he left the government. With a boom and a puff of smoke a rocket shot through the air, taking out one of the gorilla-droids. Bob got to the area where the invisible creatuyre might be, and tossed all of his mud in one direction. Some of it caught and stuck, revealing the legs of something... and that something was making off with the device it had pulled off of the wall. It was moving towards the hole in the cieling of the hanger. [i]E.T.One'smovingTowardsTheHoleGetOverHereAndSlowItDownBeforeItGetsAway ItsGotWhatItWantsAndIt'sLeaving[/i] [b][i]My name's not E.T.
