Beyond Freedom (M&M PbP) Issue #1 - Loves Lost?!

[bkmanis]

Harbinger joins Jimmy and Security. “Well what do we do now?” He asks speaking softly so the police don’t hear. “I don’t see any connection between the missing people and this group. That Thumper guy says he doesn’t know anything and I think it was a mistake for Apollo to take off by himself. If that lady decide to put up a fight he could be in trouble.” Harbinger turns to Security. “You seem like the technical type, did you see the PDA that Winter found? It might have information on it we could use.”

Victim: oops

Jimmy falls on his butt from his reaction to the vision he saw. "Whoa, that was freaky," he commented.

When the soldiers starting asking questions, Jimmy interrupted Security's discussion and called him over for a few seconds. He'll explain the best he can the vision he just had.

"You know anything about 'Blackstone', Security?" Jimmy asked quietly. Jimmy also gives the building he thinks Apollo lives in.

"Umm, I don't know much about Blackstone. It's the special prison where criminals with powres are imprisoned. How did you see that? I'll have to warn the police."

Turning up the volume, Security addresses the officer: "The stony guy is usually dangerous. There's some indication that he'll be able to awaken and escape on his own." It's funny how everyone loved the Freedom League until the incident.

"I plan on heading back, then calling Apollo. Hopefully he learned something from Marguess, and didn't get killed. I agree; his going off by himself was very risky. If she did attack him and defeat him, then there might be an ambush at his place. I saw it, but I can't manipulate fine devices easily in this armor. I wouldn't mind checking it out later, though."

“Well it seems we’re finished here, I think I’ll go and check on Athena.” Harbinger tells Security and Jimmy. “If you need to contact me you can use this radio frequency to reach me.” Harbinger says, handing a card with the frequency written on it to Security. “After you check on Apollo or if you need help give me a call.” If there are no questions Harbinger will teleports to the hospital to check on Athena.

The police officer looks back at Security. While you can't see his face behind the mirrored visor, you get the feeling he is annoyed with you all. He shakes his head and looks back at Brimstone and says something into this headset radio that you can't hear. He looks back after a second or so "We don't need any advise from civilians, bub, just be thankful that I can't arrest you right now."

Harbinger teleports back to the hospital easily. About then he sees a man with a cane getting out of a LAV sports car and walking into the main lobby, asking about a young woman who fits Athena's description. The doctors and nurses are a bit nervous of the man until he flashes a money card to them. Harbinger overhears one of the doctors say "Yea she just got here and we took her into operation room 11. The doctor is in there now looking her over, but we did not have any insurance info on her. With this we can start treating her.." The old man says "Never mind that, release her into my care and I will treat her better then you fools could. Dear god, without a money stick you don't even treat a critically injured person? I will have a private ambulance here in 5 minutes. Stabilize her and move her to the roof please... now!" The doctor disappears and the other staff start to 'look busy'. About then the old guy notices you and nods his head "Sir, good eve" he doesn't seem bothered by the fact that you are in a costume or anything. A security guard who just noticed you and was walking this way, turns and heads back to his station. He glances your direction now and again but otherwise does not look like he is going to bother you.

Jimmy told Security, "About the PDA, I'll hold onto it and have you look at it at a better location than here, perhaps Apollos."

"We don't need any advise from civilians, bub, just be thankful that I can't arrest you right now."

Jimmy feels torn. He understands that this is one possible future, especially when he can alter some things to change the future, but he is uncomfortable that a policeman's arrogance could get them all killed. He also doesn't want to be hauled away to the loony bin.

Trying to help where he can, Jimmy looked around the area for the restraints that formerly held the woman who talked too much. If he finds then he will apply them to Brimstone's ankles (using superspeed in the search and attachment), hoping the double neutralization will last long enough to let the stupid guards live. If not, he tried his best.

After he is finished, he turns to Security, "You want a lift to the address?"

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Jimmy does a quit search but can't find the extra restraints OCC Apollo removed that at his apartment, not here so no luck.

 

[Keia]

OOC: He made the only effort I could think of without assaulting the guards to be taken with them so he could help. Hopefully the warning will be enough.

 

[Victim]

After a holding the card near his armor for a moment, Security hands it back to Harbringer. "Thanks."

Nothing he would say to police officer would change his mind. As if the Freedom City Police Department Incorporated was doing such a perfect job that they didn't need help. Police Inc. That still sounded wrong.

"No thanks, I think I can find it myself now."

Controlled by autopilot, the armored bulk of Security lifts off. Then he blasts away from the Wellingford Complex at high speed. RTB.

Now standing alone next to the police and the bond villians, Jimmy started to feel a little uncomfortable. Alone with police and bad guys, when the ones that escaped couple return. Here I am - just a college student, looking for clues on my parents. In sweats and sneakers. I gotta get out of here, Jimmy thought.

Jimmy slowed time around himself and took off out of the complex, heading for his hotel room. Then he remembered that he forgot his keys and instead headed for where he thought Apollo was supposed to live.
