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

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Harbinger quickly makes his way over to the Silver Crest area. Teleporting into the walled off area, he sees the light display slowly fading around one of the larger building. Getting close he sees it is the Sky Towers Building... there is a doorman at the front, but he seems not to overly worried about the lights and will-of-the-wisps that slowly fad to the ground and disappear.

At Apollo apartment Ursus says "Yea I an't much of a hero myself. I just started 'changing' into whatever I am changing into. I don't think I would have come if it where not for my ex disappearing an all.... Ursus also helps himself to some roast beef and coda, which look somewhat funny in his big paw like hands.

Well I guess I have nothing to lose. Harbinger thinks as he approaches the doorman. “Excuse me, I lost the address but I believe this is where Apollo lives. If so could you buzz him, I believe he is expecting me. The name is Harbinger.” Harbinger tells the doorman.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

The doorman does not seem overly surprised by your looks or your comment, opens the front doors and says "Of course sir, master Apollo is in the penthouse suit. Please use the private elevator there..." he points to a door off to one side of the main elevator doors. "Enjoy your stay sir Harbinger"

Apollo stands, "Perhaps you are just a student, but you have a gift, something that sets you apart from the rest of humanity. And you have chosen to use that gift, this night for the side of good, to protect, and bring about a better tommorow. You may not think of yourself as a Hero, but in actions and deeds, I believe you will be, whether you believe it or not."

"Okay, I'll buy that for now - plus, I'm on a school break," Jimmy said between bites, "I also want to find out what happened to my detective. He never showed to meet up with me. What with everyone having someone go missing - I guess he's missing too."

Jimmy suppresses a giggle watching Ursus drink a cola, thinking back to the similarities between that and a Coke and the polar bears in the christmas commercials.

"Good then, both of you, at least for now we should pool our resources, we are better off together, then we are alone, especially with the number of super-criminals suddenyl banding together for some common, obviously villainous cause," Apollo pauses, and looks to the door as Harbinger arrives, "Harbinger, I am glad you could make it, Ursus and Jimmy are already here, I am not sure on the others."

Harbinger greets the others when he arrives. “So what’s up? I assume the light show was to get our attention?” He asks Apollo. “By the way I was checking on Athena and ran into the older gentleman, I believe his name is Daedelus. Anyway he took over her medical treatment and he said she would be fine in a day or so. He gave me a number to reach her in case we need her.” Harbinger informs the others. Moving to a chair he takes a seat. “Have you been watching the news? They’re sending a crew over to the Wellingford Complex, it would be interesting to hear what they say about what happened.”

Apollo nods, and walks over to the large wall moutned monitor, and turns it on, changing it to the news, "I hadn't actually been following with all the company I have had this evening," Apollo walking about in casual clothes, "And Athena is in good hands with Daedelus, I remember him well, when he first became immortal, he will take care of Athena."

Walking into the building was easier than expected. You'd think the guard would notice his injuries. Hopefully, the guard's inattention meant that he'd have time to protect himself before his ID was revealed. That probably wouldn't be too long; purchases of bandages, sterile wraps and other burn treatments, painkillers, and antibiotics after every battle would provide a significant clue. At least his sealed armor wouldn't leave much personal evidence behind.

[While medicine really doesn't do anything in this case, Evans uses it anyway.]

Man, I need to get some sleep. Set up a message to call in sick at a decent hour. Run a quick search. Activate a news scanning program so I can wake up to the rest of the night's atrocities. And now to deal with that mess.

After activating privacy mode on his phone - he'd only recieve video, not transmit it, Mike punched in a number found in his search. "Hello, is this the Apollo residence?"

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Apollo turns on the vid-monitor and catches the last bit of the gang fight down in the Pleasant Hills Apartment Complexes. It still has been contained within the boundaries of the complex, and the FCPD, Inc. has quadrant off the area. The lights over the Sky Tower Building get a quick mention and then it switches over to a story about that attack at the Wellingford Complex, showing the destruction from a new LAV overhead. The power is still off within the site, and the new crew are speculating about terrorist or high-tech robbers. It mentions that they are going to try and land outside the compound and get an interview with anyone there to find out what has happened.

Just then the Apollo's private vid-line rings...

When Harbinger arrived, Jimmy smiled, nodded and said, "Hey, how're you doing?"

Jimmy will sit on a nearby sofa when the news is turned on, alternately watching to see if he sees himself, munching down on food and pop, and messing with the weird PDA that he found in the lab.
