The Hospital
"Mendez got an Ambulance for you three. I was shocked to hear you were coming right from the institute," the doctor says. "I knew it had to be bad or my counterpart there," he says, nodding at X12, "would have handled it I'm sure."
Once Vince enters the bathroom, the doctor moves over to Jun Po's bed. He pulls the screen around the side of the bed, blocking any view from the hallway. "Still in pain?" he asks quietly, sitting behind her and opening the back of her gown.
"It is a small price to pay," she says.
"I'll take that as a yes," he replies. He pulls on some surgical gloves and removes the bandages covering her shoulders. Though X12 probably shouldn't be looking, he sees the wounds are stitched closed, not healed, and are red and inflamed. Some yellowish fluid is soaked into the bandages, and appears to be leaking from the cuts. The doctor says something very quietly to her and you can't pick it up, and she nods her head slightly. He runs a finger over one of the cuts and Jun Po flinches.
"It's infected, but I've never seen an infection progress this quickly before. We'll have to run some tests. I promise I'll figure it out," he says, applying new bandages to the wounds.
"I trust your abilities, Doctor Johnson," Jun Po replies.
"I'll get you something for the pain as well," he says.
"No." The word is said very adamantly.
"Look, you don't have anything to pr..."
"No."
"Fine, fine. Let's get that gown off so I can check your other injuries. Those I should be able to take care of," he says, getting up and pulling the screen around fully. "Show's over, son," he says to X12 as he closes the screen.
Freeway
Loki hops onto Sanjay's back and the two rocket out of HQ and towards the freeway. He pushes his power past its normal limits, and the scenery turns into a streaking blur.
Raisa bursts past the ring of car wrecks as Straightjacket puts one huge leg over a crushed Honda, stepping into the ring. She charges straight at the woman with the tentacles springing from her body. The tendrils appear to be made of some sort of force, not any flesh. She sees Raisa at the last instant, and backpedals one step as force tendrils slap at Raisa. Raisa plows through them, driving her body into the woman, slamming her to the ground, landing atop her.
Hit with a 30. Trip opposed roll: Raisa gets 22, Flick gets a 15. Flick is prone.
Tara streaks up towards the flying man who controls the wind. He sees her coming, and ready for her, unleashes a viscious blast of wind. It forces her wings back, swirling about them, making it impossible to beat, and Tara starts to plummet. The wizard appears just under her, catching her easily with that ready smile still on his face. Tara appears very flustered, blushing badly as he lowers her to the ground just inside the ring, still snared by the wind. He kisses her on the cheek, flying up and away a bit immediately after. Tara faints.
Readied attack by Aerin, snare on Tara. Readied action by Anithos used to catch her and lower her to safety. Tara fails her saving throw badly, and is overwhelmed by her experience with Anithos.
Johan continues guiding people, who are listening and responding well. Leaving a few of his doubles in charge, Johan sprints towards the combat.
It will take you one more round to get there; you should leave at least 2 duplicates in charge of the crowd, but the rest can come with you. You spot no useable weapons beyond pieces of useless metal and chunks of asphault.
Kevin touches Johan only to find out that it isn't the original. Without anything to show for his effort (aside from being freaking huge now), he runs into the ring of cars as Rebound bounces over his head and Anna streaks at the flying man.
Rebound slams into the giant mole. He's definitely a huge upright mole with hair and the snout and sightless eyes and tiny ears and a cute round fuzzy bottom punctuated by fifteen inch razor sharp claws on his hands and six or seven inch ones on his feet. Oh, and he stands a mind boggling 16 feet in height. Needless to say, the Mole doesn't move and Rebound bounces past.
Rebound hits, but the Mole makes his save.
Anna lets out a blast of ice as she flies towards the man. It hits the swirling energy field surrounding him, and disappates with a shower of snow.
John, at his full height, comes up about even with the Mole creature, but the Mole is much wider. John moves to wrap him up, and for a moment it seems to work. Then a swirling beam of sparkling energy comes from the wizard, previously unseen, sitting on the edge of the lead armored vehicle, and hits the Mole. He grows another sixteen feet, towering over John. Without much effort, the creature swats John, who stumbles back a few feet.
Second wizard uses readied spell to grow the Mole. John hits with a 18 score. Grapple check: John 25, Mole 32 (John gets a natural 1 (16) [hero point use assumed, gets a 7, becomes a 10, score result 25], Mole gets a 2 on the dice [was using villian point on roll less than 10, gets a 12 and ends up with a 38 grapple check].
The mole is now TWO size categories bigger than you.
Carl walks out from behind a car and opens his mouth, releasing a bolt of vibrating energy. From her back, a tendril of force bursts from Flick, knocking the missle into the air and away.
Readied deflection succeeds. Carl's attack is deflected away.
The perfectly lined up armored cars look so odd in the ring of cars, it's almost laughable.
Flick, despite the smacking tendril snaking out of her, seems completely focussed on Raisa. "Get the hell off!" she says angrily. You hear a click, then suddenly are airborn as something presses into your stomach, lifting you up and back. You land with a crunch against a truck, on your rear. You see the woman kip up without effort, a long staff grasped in her hands. She spins it, points it at you and an energy blast envelops you! It tears a small hole in your sleeve!
Flick uses her staff to throw you off (not really needed, just for effect since you didn't have a grapple or pin) and kips up, blasting you with a bolt of kinetic force from her staff. She hits with a 22. DC 15 damage save gets you a 7. Hero point used (if I recall you said to previously below a certain level), resulting in a 19. You take no damage.
"How goes it up there, Aerin?" she calls up.
The Mole's nose twitches and he stomps right at Straightjacket, kicking him! He goes flying through the air, smashing through an upturned bus, ripping it in half and sliding to a halt on his back over 40 feet away! The Mole turns and heads for the front of the caravan of armored vehicles, carefuly inspecting how it is lined up, ignoring you all.
Hit with a 17. Damage save is an 18, failing. You are stunned and knocked back 45 feet! For a warning... Knockback is the damage bonus of the attack, less the targets amazing save and immovability bonus, all x5 feet. Please, don't miss that warning.
Aerin, the man in the sky, calls back down, "Worry about that Amazon of yours; I can handle myself, Flick."
"Right," she calls back, and a faint green glow starts to surrond Flick.
Aerin waves his hands and suddenly twenty, foot tall oriental dragons, composed entirely of swirly, cloudlike air, appear, streaking at Anna. They grab her in their tiny claws and fangs, carrying her rapidly into the sky over one hundred feet in a manner of seconds. His force field bursts outwards as well, suddenly strengthened.
The blue garbed wizard flies over to Raisa, landing lightly on his feet before her. He smiles down to her, and extends his hand to her, standing between Flick and Raisa, helping Raisa to her feet. "You tore your uniform," he says lyrically, running his finger over a tear in your sleeve. "Anithos Repari."His magic surrounds your arm and the tear vanishes. "All better," he says, floating up and back from you, his hand lingering in yours until he's out of range.
You get a 12 on your will save. You are restricted to one HALF action next round.
Gazing over the armored cars, the Mole rumbles, "Anithos, get off your ass and make yourself useful."
"You are over thirty feet tall, the young ladies uniform is repaired and Flick and Aerin have things well in hand," he replies with a ready grin, smiling at the huge creature.
"I am glad you are enjoying yourself. But would you keep them away from my trucks, please."
"Of course, gentle patron. Your wish is my command," he replies, bowing gracefully. He turns and point his wand at Kevin, saying "Anithos Vindu!" and a swirling ray of sparkling energy lazily snakes its way towards him. It creeps along the ground, taking on the form of a giant silver serpent with blue flecks on its scales. It rears up before Kevin and slowly starts to undulate back and forth... back and forth... back and forth... Kevin's eyes glaze over and he starts to move his head with the undulations.
Anithos casts a spell. He hits with a 22. Kevin gets a 4 on his will save. I assume you want to use a hero point. End result is a 15 and he is paralyzed (barely). As a half action next round, you can attempt to free yourself. If you fail, you can do nothing. If you succeed, you get a normal HALF action. On the bright side, you can attack him freely now if you really want to, though deep down, you know you don't (you don't need to make a will save to attack the wizard).
Initiatives: Flick 24, Mole 19, Aerin 18, Anithos 16, Tara 16, Raisa 16, Kevin 16, Michelle 16, Anna 16, Rebound 16, Johan 14, Straighjacket 10, Carl 7
Conditions: Flick 1VP, Mole 1VP, Aerin 1VP, Tara 1HP (unconscious, snared), Raisa 1HP (half-action only) , Straightjacket 1HP (1S, stunned, prone), Kevin 2HP (paralyzed - next round save result 14; state if you want to re-roll and state a half action like you did)
Other Conditions: Vincent 3HP, Jun Po 6HP (2L, Disabled?), X12 2HP, Sanjay 1HP
All of you are up!
"I am much relieved to see you are whole as well, Vincent," she says without opening her eyes. "And I am sorry I so sorely underestimated Jackal's power. It is a mistake I shall never forget."
"Mendez got an Ambulance for you three. I was shocked to hear you were coming right from the institute," the doctor says. "I knew it had to be bad or my counterpart there," he says, nodding at X12, "would have handled it I'm sure."
"Well, it looks like you got off lucky, honestly. I'll be comparing those scans of your new wings to try to figure out how that happened," he says.
"And you get a darn alarm clock. All I get to do is wake you up. Your regeneration takes care of the rest. I have more important things to do than do wake up calls," he adds with a smile.
Once Vince enters the bathroom, the doctor moves over to Jun Po's bed. He pulls the screen around the side of the bed, blocking any view from the hallway. "Still in pain?" he asks quietly, sitting behind her and opening the back of her gown.

Michelle reaches the combat area and notices the armored cars that are lined up, "this is going to piss them off." She thinks to herself, with a slight smirk on her face.
Magnetic force ripples out as she attempts to encompass the armored cars, lift them off the ground and retreat backwards.
Powers: forcefield (free action) energy contol [pl10?] (half action) flight (half action)
(read the ooc will use a hp to up the pl to 12 and grab as many as I can)

Raisa stares dreamily after the waizard, a faint blush rising into her cheeks as a whistful sigh escapes her lips. Now there was a specimen of So Fine, even moreso than Cosmo and he's drop dead gorgeous even if he is an ass. But this guy in blue... She sighs again. He is so beyond hot and a gentleman to boot. He had the entire package, and Raisa definately wouldn't mind seeing his... package.
A heatbeat passes after the man of her dreams floats away, and she finds her gaze once against falling onto the woman with the stick. "Oh yeah, I forgot about you!" Raisa lunges at the woman, fist flying through the air toward her face.
ACTIONS: Attack: Punch (1/2 Action) - Since you didn't mention the distance between the two, I'm assuming she's within striking distance, if not I will edit.

After the doctor comes out from handling Jun Po's other injuries, X12 asks him to come over.
Quietly, X12 asks Doctor Johnson a question once he comes over. "It's probably just superstitious nonsense, but you said you don't know what the infection is, or how it's progressing so fast... I cringe even saying this, knowing what I do about biology, but... could Jackal have infected her with some kind of 'lycanthropic' agent, like werewolves in old movies?"

Four of Johans will stay to make sure that the civilians get out safely. Once they are all out, the duplicates left behind will dissolve.
The duplicate that is already with the others speaks. "So we are fighting a woman with some kind of force ability, a gigantic mole, and the epitome of maledom with wizardly abilities. Somebody want to devise a strategy beyond just straight out bashing them to the ground?"

Hospital
It's a long wait for the doctor to get done. Vince is just drying off in the bathroom
"While I appreciate your paranoia," the doctor says with a wry grin, "Jackal is not a movie werewolf. But he certainly could be the cause of the infection. I'll have to get a blood sample from him to do some tests."
Jun Po, dressed again in her hospital gown, and sitting in the same position as before, remains silent, eyes closed, regulating her breathing.
Freeway
Raisa shakes free of her wistfullness, steps forward and takes a huge cut at Flick with her fist. A tendril whips out from Flick, wrapping around her fist and reflecting it back at Raisa. Raisa ends up punching herself in the face! Luckily, she doesn't hurt herself.
Raisa hits with a 24. Flick's deflection score is 27. Flick reflects with a 23. Raisa makes her damage save with a 23 versus DC 15.
Michelle sweeps in, pushing her powers even further, wrapping the three huge armored cars in a magnetic field. The field shimmers about the cars, and they slowly start rising off the ground. The Mole growls out, "Get your own trucks," clamping his paws over the second one, and putting his huge form on the first. The added weight on the first sends it on a short drop back towards the ground, and he easily holds the other against Michelle's powers, while the third one floats out of order towards the edge of the ring of cars.
Weight limit would be three, but the mole is massive. You get one up, are in a tug of war with the second, and the third remains on the ground. Opposed check ends in a stand off; Michelle 28, Mole 28. But you have a feeling he really didn't have a good grip. Extra effort puts your base energy control to 12; HP counters fatigue.
Johan makes it to the battle area with his double, his comments striking a rather poinant chord with Raisa. Inside the ring, you actually see a number of police weapons; revolvers, rifles and shot-guns, laying about. You also see Tara slumped unconscious against a nearby wrecked car.
You can reach one of each from where you are.
You hear Anna scream somewhere overhead, and from far above she starts plumetting downward, her rockets puttering out, air elementals swirling around her intake valves, blocking the air flow.
"Aerin, you fool! Release her!" Anithos shouts, the first time you've heard him raise his voice, or seen his features hold anything but a smile. His voice holds equal anger and concern.
"Jeezes, Anithos," he replies, but the air creatures disappate. Anna's rockets fire moments before impact, and she skims along the ground, armor scraping asphault, sending up sparks. She pulls up before the car wreck ring, rising back into the air.
Anna is effectively snared by the air emlementals. Anna fails to get free of the air snare, but is released at the end of her round before she crash lands.
Rebound returns, slamming bodily into Aerin as he passes. The impact knocks Aerin tumbling downward, though he manages to right himself and touch down without injury.
Rebound hits with a 19, power attack at maximum. Aerin fails his save and takes 1S, and is driven down to the ground.
Kevin struggles to free himself from the paralyzing power of the mystical snake, but can't.
14 isn't good enough this round. You remain paralyzed.
Tara remains unconscious, a small smile on her face.
Carl turns and lets a blast of energy out at Aerin. The blast is absorbed by the swirling force of air surrounding the man.
Carl hits with a 21, but Aerin makes his save.
Initiatives: Flick 24, Mole 19, Aerin 18, Anithos 16, Tara 16, Raisa 16, Kevin 16, Michelle 16, Anna 16, Rebound 16, Johan 14, Neutron 13, Loki 13, Straighjacket 10, Carl 7
Conditions: Flick 1VP, Mole 1VP, Aerin 1VP (1S), Tara 1HP (unconscious, snared), Raisa 1HP, Straightjacket 1HP (1S, stunned, prone), Kevin 2HP (paralyzed - next round save result 14; state if you want to re-roll and state a half action like you did), Michelle 1HP (Energy Control 12)
Straightjacket is up.
Sanjay and Loki come into sight of the combat (and will be able to act NEXT turn, after the bad guys go). There is a lot of carnage, and a huge empty ring with three armored cars more or less lined up. Raisa is battling a woman on the ground with wierd force tendrils stringing from her, knocking Raisa's punches aside. Anna nearly crashes to the ground, barely recovering. Dara lies unconscious on the ground. Kevin is perfectly still, a mystical silvery serpent undulating before him. John is picking himself up some forty feet away, a ruined bus and knocked aside cars showing the path that he must have been knocked along. Rebound and Carl are attacking a man wrapped in a swirling field of air. Oh, and a giant, 35 foot tall mole is standing on one armored car, holding another while yet a third floats away, guided by Michelle. Johan is retreiving something from the ground. And a pair of dark blue garbed men with wands float about. Man... they look cool, even from here!

14 isn't good enough this round. You remain paralyzed.
Tara remains unconscious, a small smile on her face.
Carl turns and lets a blast of energy out at Aerin. The blast is absorbed by the swirling force of air surrounding the man.
Carl hits with a 21, but Aerin makes his save.
Initiatives: Flick 24, Mole 19, Aerin 18, Anithos 16, Tara 16, Raisa 16, Kevin 16, Michelle 16, Anna 16, Rebound 16, Johan 14, Neutron 13, Loki 13, Straighjacket 10, Carl 7
Conditions: Flick 1VP, Mole 1VP, Aerin 1VP (1S), Tara 1HP (unconscious, snared), Raisa 1HP, Straightjacket 1HP (1S, stunned, prone), Kevin 2HP (paralyzed - next round save result 14; state if you want to re-roll and state a half action like you did), Michelle 1HP (Energy Control 12)
Straightjacket is up.
Sanjay and Loki come into sight of the combat (and will be able to act NEXT turn, after the bad guys go). There is a lot of carnage, and a huge empty ring with three armored cars more or less lined up. Raisa is battling a woman on the ground with wierd force tendrils stringing from her, knocking Raisa's punches aside. Anna nearly crashes to the ground, barely recovering. Dara lies unconscious on the ground. Kevin is perfectly still, a mystical silvery serpent undulating before him. John is picking himself up some forty feet away, a ruined bus and knocked aside cars showing the path that he must have been knocked along. Rebound and Carl are attacking a man wrapped in a swirling field of air. Oh, and a giant, 35 foot tall mole is standing on one armored car, holding another while yet a third floats away, guided by Michelle. Johan is retreiving something from the ground. And a pair of dark blue garbed men with wands float about. Man... they look cool, even from here!

Coming out of the washroom after his shower, Vince is still drying his hair. He is now wearing the jeans that the doctor lent him but is obviously shirtless and barefoot. "Hey Doc, Thanks for the loaners," he says indicating the jeans, "I'll make sure they get back to you as soon as I get some of my own clothes again. So what kind of tests did you want to do on these wings? They feel strong but I feel way too sore to be trying them out anytime soon. I can't thank you enough X, for fixing me up after Jackal tore my one wing off."
"Where is my wing by the way?"
