EPIC M&M: Issue 2 (IC)

"That's sound advice, sir," X12 says flatly.

"Detective Mendez is much better at gaining entrance to locations, I'm sure." Turning the bracelet over, X12 asks the manager, "Are these things detrimental? I'm a regenerative mutant, and I'm not exactly sure what the consequences of negating those powers might be."

The G-Spot
Titan bursts flies into the club, cape flashing and turns, flying to the top of the stairs. He grabs two chairs, reducing them to kindling, sound masked by the gunfire he is dodging, and advances on the group of bad guys. Two of the goons lose their nerve in the presence of the Spaniard, fleeing into the shadows behind the table as the oriental woman shouts curses at them for being cowards. A door slams a moment later.

Loki runs forward, unseen, and makes it nearly up the stairs. He can see the shadowy figure, and thanks to his darkvision, his sight penetrates the inky darkness surrounding him. Inside is a thin and waifish looking man, held somewhat aloft by the darkness surrounding him, as if it were some sort of semi-solid. He takes no note of Loki or the illusion of Titan as he flows near the wall and hurls jet black tendrils at Raisa.

The tendrils snake out and wrap around her face and eyes. She pulls the stuff free of her mouth and nose, but a field of blackness stays around her eyes, blinding her!

Raisa is hit by a dazzle attack, failing her save with an 8. She is blinded by the darkness. Quick! Someone cast magic missle!

Detective Mendez uses plastic straps to cuff the goons at the base of the stairs. Dara runs up, nearly running into Loki as she makes it halfway up the stairs. "Holy cow, you are hard to see!" she exclaims mentally, and the shadowy man immediately swings his head around towards both of you. "Oops," she says.

The goons along the railing take a bead on Titan and fire. Two of them hit, and the bullets pass through the illusion, striking the wall behind him. One goes wide, and he continues to squeeze off shots in a panic!

"Holy crap, it's Titan! We gotta get outa here!"

"Shut up, you fool. It's a fake like the spiders!"

"Get it together man! Shoot the girl!"

With some respect being shown him, the manager takes a moment to emphasize they are safe.

"They are harmless. I have a degree of regenerative powers myself, and I assure you, I have never suffered from wearing one, nor have any of the guests to the Crystal Palace. This Kevin York fellow who went up to Miss Toan's penthouse certainly seemed none the worse for wear for having one on. Miss Toan even allowed him to remove it once he was at the penthouse," he explains.

"Odd," he says, looking at a monitor. "The elevator from the penthouse is already on its way down. Mr. Murphy must be coming down to take you upstairs himself. At least this will get to the bottom of all this nonsense." He looks up again. "Hey, where did your friend go?"

You look about and realize he means Cosmo. There is a rattling and an air duct cover drops from the ceiling, Cosmo dropping in with it. He lands on his feet, by the elevators. "Hah, knew there'd be a way around!" Seeing the force field down again, he growls, "Dangit!"

The desk manager signs and rolls his eyes.

"Good," X12 says, snapping the bracelet on.

As the air duct drops and Cosmo lands, X12 sighs, shakes his head, and then starts to clap lightly in his direction. "For someone with such great levels of intellect, Cosmo, didn't it occur to you that maybe you should just talk to the manager, tell him what we're investigating, and go from there? We're deputized mutants, not James Bond."

"You're just jealous you don't have the cool shades," Cosmo says, adjusting his sunglasses. "Besides, at the rate you guys were going, I expected Straightjacket to start climbing up the side of the building in frustration. And I notice I'm at the elevator, and you're still at the front desk."

X12 grabs another one of the bracelets. Walking up to Cosmo, he hands it to him. "Still, despite your albeit impressive acrobatics, you're at the elevator about 45 seconds ahead of us," X12 says with a smile.
 

Kevin try again to hit Mia with his power attack at maximum.

Kevin will try after that try to feint (with his bluff), so he can continue to have his opponent flat-footed.

"It wouldn't be said Kevin York will not fight to the end, my dear."

"Hey, I resemble that remark" says Straightjacket as he wonders if he'd be able to get the bracelet off if necessary. He still hasn't put it on yet, and is just thinking about it.

"Hey guys! What's up?" He seems to have picked up a New York accent. "Saw you flying up here through the window. Nice threads!"

Monetarily forgetting the mechanic, Michelle turns her attention to "Kevin". Kevin? You seemed to have picked up some new clothes as well and when did you get that accent?

It's obvious by the look on her face that she isn't buying this in the least, she will make a 5 foot step as to get out of anyones crossfire.

OOC: forcefield (free action) movement (1/2 action) readied attack (1/2 action)

"So what you are saying is that you are slow?" Cosmo says with a grin. "Damn, I do look good," he mutters, looking at himself in the reflective elevator doors.

Straightjacket, there's no locking mechanism on the bracelet. It's not exactly super sturdy. You could break it without any powers.

There is a "bing" sound as the elevator reaches your floor. The doors don't open.

On the Roof
"Yeah man," Rebound says. "What's with sounding like a yank?"

Kevin grins in response. He looks a little... nuts. You see a slight warping of your vision around him and realize he has some sort of force field on as well.

"Not gonna buy it huh?" he says, his look becoming somehow darker. "Good. It's going to be more fun this way."

He drops four disks, two red and two blue. They hover near his waist attached by a tether, humming, his force field spreading to encompass them. Michelle feels an intense magnetic field coming from two, and two are made of extremely ferous and magnetically attractive metal. As Sanjay and Anna move, the blue disks seem to try to move towards them. The red ones seem very attracted to Michelle.

Kevin had that action readied too ;) No surprise round. Michelle is up.

"Whoa, we're being attacked by freakin' Tron now...I've never met a more confusing person than you, Kevin." Sanjay says, doing his best to deal with the new threat.

OOC: Dated reference, especially for a futuristic game, I know, but Sanjay's a movie buff. Anyhoo, Attempt to dissipate the disk if possible (Transmutation +7: Desruction - half action) or, failing that, attempt to deflect it, winging my own iron "disk" at it (Deflection +7 - free action).
