EPIC M&M: Issue 2 (IC)

Vincent
Vince is practicing on the field, keeping the ball in the air as he runs along the field. On about the ninth hop, he prepares to knee the ball and it's simply not there. A huge gust of wind spins him around and he sees something fly by him even faster than he can move.

"Howdy, partner," Trailblazer says, standing suddenly behind Vincent, but within his all around vision. "Bus'll be leavin' soon 'nuff. You aughta be gettin' into somethin' a mite bit less casual, don'tcha think?" He balances the ball on his cowboy booted foot, obviously good at this too. "Angel's been workin' for a week on how ta get you a bit less noticed on the trip, what with that monster bull-pucky, an' the boss... well hoss, you aint seen any reporters around lately, have you?"

He puts his foot on top of the ball as he waits for Vince to do respond and pulls stubby cigar from his shirt pocket, putting it in his mouth. "Now get outa here, kid," he says, striking a match on his jeans and bringing it to his cigar. "Before I light up? This stuff'll kill ya, ya know. Kill me too if Angel finds out, so keep your trap shut," he adds as he lights up anyway.

"Gettin' so a guy can't have a smoke in peace around here."

"You are definately right about the reporters not acting like vultures anymore but I didnt want to break my promise to Thunder about leaving the grounds either. If I am cleared to leave though, then I am out of here! I think the bus is long gone but I can catch it no problem." As he kicks in his superspeed and turns to leave, Vince smiles back, "But you might want to lay off the smokes or I'll be able to catch you one of these days."

Vince runs as fast as he can (without breaking the sound barrier or tearing anything from the walls) back to his room, does a superspeed change into more appropriate clothes, grabs his wallet and zips towards the direction the bus would have headed.

During the last two weeks, Kevin have been distant. He didn't talk much to the other students. In the course, he is pretty silent, listening to his teacher. During dinner, he eat and go away as soon as he has finished. All his free times goes into training and studies.

His name can be seen on the sport team list for martial arts, swimming, track and field and fencing.

3:00 PM

It takes a while for everyone to get together and start loading onto the bus. About thirty of your fellow classmates are gathered. Cosmo, Jackal, Dara, Tara, and Carl, along with many of the less powerful students, are already waiting by the time the rest of you arrive. As you arrive, you are each given a credit card by Ms. Desrochers. She tells you it has a $1,000 prepaid balance on it.

"I'll be coming with you, in case there is any trouble," Empath says to the group. "Let us try to not have any of that though. Since this is your first time out of the institute, make sure you are always in pairs or more."

As Raisa, X12, Neutron, Loki and Straightjacket are preparing to board the bus, Vincent finally arives, tearing around the side of the school. "You two are to stay together at all times," she says as she hands Vincent his credit card. "Randall, I want you to keep Vincent covered in an illusion; something simple. Just changes his features to a little less elongated, bring his eyes a bit together, and lose the wings. Better to keep out of the limelight," she finishes.

As she finishes, you hear the sound of a pair of electric engines. You turn and see a MK182 robot tearing across the field, well ahead of a jeep being driven by what looks to be Rebound. You can see Sanchez in the passenger seat and Anna in the back. The jeep doesn't appear to be able to keep up, and the robot bears straight down on your group, some sort of lancelike weapon in is right hand pointed at you as it speeds onward.

"Well I guess a couple of weeks of peace may be a long time around here" quips John as he grows to his enlarged size in case the robot is hostile.

Johan eyes the robot warily, but a suspicion keeps him from acting and activating his now more in-control duplication.

Kevin who was in doorway of the bus to get up, get down and slowly close to Raisa and touch her.

OOC: Use my mimic power on Raisa.

OOC: Use my mimic power on Raisa.

Raisa feels Kevin touch her arm and has an itching feeling like she just walked through spiderwebs. She realizes Kevin is attempting to mimic her powers.

OOC: Just a fair warning, due to an error when I created Amazon with Deva, we made a rather costly mistake regarding power stacking. As a result, her powers will change slightly. Raisa, you may attempt to resist if you like.

ooc: yes, I will attempt to resist if only to spare the poor boy the headache he'll have if he tries.

Michelle will levitate 20 feet up in the air, to get a better look at what is happening. If it looks like the robot is out of control she will attempt to lift it from the ground or divert its course.

"What are the odds that it's just something Sanchez was monkeying with that got off its leash?" X12 poses rhetorically, a sort of nervous resignation in his voice at the thought of having to face down another one of these robots. "I thought stuff like that didn't make it through the school's perimeter," he says to Ms. Desrochers with a puzzled look.
