Curtains#2 - It Came From Below!

Professor Fate - HPs: 2

Professor Fate was trying to get an eye out for trouble when the woman asked her question. As Tarantula followed up with another question Fate wanted to see if the woman answered before going any further.

Lawrence looks at the Old woman. "Do you know why, Mrs?"

"Oh, I don't know, young man," she says with a nervous glance back down the block. "I heard some people saying that one of the subway trains got stuck. Probably part of the same thing that's happening all over town, I suppose."

"Fate, what do you think of starting our research by that subway station? We just need to find where it is, but if we can catch a policeman or even just a radio, we should be able to find it pretty fast."

"Fate, what do you think of starting our research by that subway station? We just need to find where it is, but if we can catch a policeman or even just a radio, we should be able to find it pretty fast."

"The pumping station is our goal, but we can check this out, Tarantula," Fate replied. "I think we just follow the cars that should get us there."

"Hold it right there!" one of the soldiers says as he hurries in front of the group. In spite of his authoritative voice, his body language clearly shows that he's not sure what to do with the unusual group standing before him.

"Take it easy, soldier," a police officer says as he jogs over. "I recognize these guys from last night. Diffused a nasty hostage situation with some bad super-powered guys. Guess they're Coast City's unofficial super hero team."

The soldier looks dubious, but he assumes a more relaxed posture and lets the officer take the lead.

"Really glad to see you guys," the officer says. "There's a subway train that reported a crash not far from this station. We're spread too thin across the city to do more than secure the location and keep people from going down there. The captain said that no one's to go anywhere underground unless there are at least six men and all have to wear gas masks. Guess we've already lost a number of good officers tonight.

"That leaves us a few men and four gas masks short. Before 9/11, we wouldn't have even had the gas masks. Not sure what all powers you guys have, but any help you can offer would be more than wonderful."

Professor Fate listened as the guard explained the situation, then thought for a moment or two.

"Gas masks?" Professor Fate asked, "Officer, are those simply as a precaution, or has something been learned about what's in the sewers?"

Glancing at the others, Fate looked for some input. His need to help others was being torn in ten different directions . . . and the subway train seemed the most immediate to him.

"Gas masks?" Professor Fate asked, "Officer, are those simply as a precaution, or has something been learned about what's in the sewers?"

"Well, I'm not entirely sure," he says. "I haven't personally seen what's down there. The word going out to the force is that something is growing and spreading through the sewers. We've had reports that it can spew out clouds of something nasty. Guess it's been fatal to a few officers who breathed it in."

Granite shrugs and places the container on the ground. Gas masks might be a good idea, although I don't need one, he says tapping his stone skin, don't need to breath in this form. The subway station might be a good place to make a stand. Lots of room to manuever.

 

[Velmont]

"I will take a gaz mask, if I go in that... and I know it is a bit unusual, but can I have a gun too. Those fungus infested creature seems pretty much immune to the venom of my spider form, and I want to be able to defend myself with something else..."

Jorgi

"Don't know about you guys but for me the plan to play nice and capture the thing alive just went overboard. I don't even want to know how many people it killed by now."
With blazing eyes he walks towards the subway station
...
before coming back to his senses. A very normal and scared looking Jorgi suddenly turns back.
"Aeh, what was that about gas masks?"
