Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

[Calinon]

War Room

I fear I wasn't a very nice person before.

"Who you were before has no bearing on the person you are, or the man you will become," Merlin says.

"Having someone root about your brain is about as good an idea as shoving a weed whacker up your nose at full throttle," Mendez says.

"I have to agree with Mendez there," Thunder replies. "Psychic surgery is about as developed as medicine was in the 19th century. It's probably better for you to let your memories return naturally, or use something less dangerous like hypnosis."

"I too believe you should re-evaluate your desire to have a stranger delve through your thoughts, instead of Empath or Grandmother. At least here, you can trust the people involved. While neither are true telepaths, it would be safer for you," Merlin says. "And you don't have to worry about someone hiring the outside telepath for a nefarious purpose, like seems to be happening so often to you with the blood sampling."

"He's right, kid," Mendez says, putting his feet up on the table and leaning back in his chair, watching the screen. He hits a button and it shows the system tracking Kevin. "Looks like your boy is stuck in trafic on the Johnson Turnpike."

"At any rate," Thunder says, ignoring Mendez. "What you told me now tells me that whoever is behind this may have something to do with you and your powers. And now you say Majors may have some shared history with you." He punches up a database, filtering through M-Tac records to find Captain Alexis Majors. "Pretty highly decorated lady," Thunder says. "A mutant too, but it doesn't go into detail. Her history files are sealed."

Merlin sighs, "Oh here we go. Enter the great hacker, to whom the whole internet is a stage."

"Hey, I live for this."

"Login is 0RM3I\ID3Z98. Password is n01havI\Itga1I\I3D\/\/31ght."

Merlin starts laughing. "You seem to be a bit wider around the middle. Are you sure?"

"Bah, ruin my fun," Thunder grumbles, typing in the login and password. "There you go, X. Anything look familiar? Whoah... lots of blanks."

The record goes on to list a pile of decorations. No mention is made of her cybornetic eye implant.
​

"Jeeze, she's been with M-Tac for just 3 years. That's a bit longer than you've been in the news X."

Mess Hall

"Sure thing boss." Randall will light up the room as best he can.

Randall casts globes of light about and the room pretty much is lit as well as before, though it's kind of eerie with no power to anything. Dara has succeeded in wrapping John's stretched arms up and is now pressed up against him.

"Hullo," she says into his chest with a giggle. "I didn't know your dad was here. Hi dad!" she says, but isn't looking the right way.

"You can let her go now, John, she won't go after him again. Will you Dara?" It is more of a statement than a question, and Raisa still holds onto Dara's arm just incase.

"Darn right I will!" After what I did for him in that meat shop and in the alley. Should'a just let him go off alone. Then he pulls a gun on me? I'll bust him up good! She is struggling to get away from John again. Damnit! É mais forte que olha! (Translation: Damnit! He's stronger than he looks!). "You're pretty good at this huggy thing, John, but maybe just let me... no, that's not working... how about... nope. Dang, just loosen over here and I can get him... You know I don't usually let guys get this grabby on a first date. Jeeze, leggo of my arm Dara," she complains.

John is easily able to hold onto her.

"Jeeze, hope she doesn't remember she can womp people with a mental blast," Cosmo says with a wry grin. He's got the cooing attention of a pair of young girls.

Dara's eyes open up. "Hey, I can do that," she says, looking up at John with a devilish grin. "Better let me go, buster."

"That's quite enough!" Titan shouts. "Someone better start explaining things. NOW!" The entire room goes quite quiet. Just quiet enough to hear a loud ROOOOAR! from somewhere in the halls, followed by a small explosive sound.

"Jackal?" Cosmo says, head turning towards the sound. "Crap! Where did goat-boy go?!"

The Pool
Jackal makes sure there's no way for Vince to get by him. It's not hard; he seems... bigger than you've seen him before. His head is very close to the twelve foot high ceiling, and the five foot wide entryway is filled by his shaggy form.

"I'm sick of your mockery," he rumbles in a low growl. "Let's teach you some manners."

He steps closer swing his left hand at you. It's super slow, so slow and ponderous its like it was just designed to toy with you. PAIN! You realize it was, as his right comes in so fast and hard, you didn't catch the move with your all around vision. It slams you against the tiled wall, and you leave a small imprint, bouncing off to stand in front of him again. He growls and his jowels twist into a feral grin.

"Just a taste."

He hits, even with your super-speed (yes it's active, yes it counts to defense and saves). You take a stun hit but otherwise are fine. You also get lucky on your listen check and are successful in your sense motive against his weak taunt

You also see Jun Po through the window in the door. She isn't slowing down, and is shouting something that faintly sounds like "Get down!"

Johan nods at Sanchez and then turns to his new teachers.
"Where do you think we will have enough space to work on my suit? And I should propably get the actual uniform, over which it'll be built, here."
With that, Johan creates another duplicate which goes to get the uniform (Johan's should be just fine).

"Darn right I will!" After what I did for him in that meat shop and in the alley. Should'a just let him go off alone. Then he pulls a gun on me? I'll bust him up good! She is struggling to get away from John again. Damnit! É mais forte que olha! (Translation: Damnit! He's stronger than he looks!). "You're pretty good at this huggy thing, John, but maybe just let me... no, that's not working... how about... nope. Dang, just loosen over here and I can get him... You know I don't usually let guys get this grabby on a first date. Jeeze, leggo of my arm Dara," she complains.

"Meu Deus!!" Raisa's eyes widen in surprise and she does let go of Dara's arm. "Uh... Titan... We've got a problem here!"

She looks over at the man, a worried expresion on her face. "She, uh, well... she's sorta stuck in my head after last night. I'm just guessing here, but I think Dara's confusing my thoughts for her own!"

 

[Calinon]

"Where do you think we will have enough space to work on my suit? And I should propably get the actual uniform, over which it'll be built, here."

"Hold on there," Jackson says, calling your double back. "That leather stuff we wear won't be much good for this. It's going to have to be a body sock like a spandex thing, with plates attached or you won't be able to move. This way, we can give enough space for easy movement between the plates and it'll still give you nearly complete protection."

He starts drawing a design and you see what he means, as the armor they are proposing seems a tad bulky for use over a thick leather outfit.

"But protection too. And don't forget to plan for other gear additions," Dara says. "We gotta measure you up too. Lets go scrounge up metal," she says, leading you off to a huge scrap pile of parts and metal.

"She, uh, well... she's sorta stuck in my head after last night. I'm just guessing here, but I think Dara's confusing my thoughts for her own!"

I am not! retorts Dara. I know exactly what I did last night. "I do know," she says quietly. That's such nice stitching on his outfit. I wonder who did it. Wonder if he dances much. Wish I had more than just his cape in my room. He should take me dancing. Wish I was wearing my stilletto's now boy. Soon as John lets go, I could treat Carl like I did that thug last night. Crrrrunch! John's breath smells like bacon! Wonder if his dad's an invisible mutant or something. She's giggling and squirming, trying to wriggle out of John's grasp.

"I see what you mean," Titan says. A few of you notice Cosmo slip out the back door, heading towards the school and where the roar and explosion came from. Just then, Titan's communicator breeps.

"Jun Po to Trailblazer! I need you in the pool, now! Vincent get down! NOW!"

CRASH! Breep.

Breep. "On it ma'am!" A small whoosh sounds from nearby and you see a streak blast through the mess hall. A moment later it's back, and Trailblazer grabs a muffin from the broken buffet table, then with a woosh, he's gone.

"Well, don't just stand there," Titan says. "Go after him! But not you two," he says warningly to Raisa and Dara. "You two are coming with me. We're taking Carl to the infirmary and then we're seeing Empath."

 

[Mimic]

I think would be of more help here Titan, my forcefield gives me added protection against mental attacks.

 

[Agamon]

"Well, don't just stand there," Titan says. "Go after him! But not you two," he says warningly to Raisa and Dara. "You two are coming with me. We're taking Carl to the infirmary and then we're seeing Empath."

"You got it," Sanjay replies as turns to head for the pool. "So," he says to no one in particular, "someone cut the power and attacked the swimming pool? It ain't boring around here."

 

[Deva]

"Well, don't just stand there," Titan says. "Go after him! But not you two," he says warningly to Raisa and Dara. "You two are coming with me. We're taking Carl to the infirmary and then we're seeing Empath."

"Don't have to tell me twice! You can let her go now, John, I'll take care of Mini Me."

Once John releases Dara, she'll hold on to her to make sure she doesn't go after Carl again and will follow Titan to the infirmary.

 

[Elementor]

"Jun Po to Trailblazer! I need you in the pool, now! Vincent get down! NOW!"

"Not before I get at least on lick in!!!" Vince jumps up and hits Jackal as hard as he can then dives for cover from whatever Jun Po is about to do.

"I could take the garden implement -- it'll just grow back," X12 says with slight grin.

"Do we have anyone trained in hypnosis here?


Looking over the record...

OOC: Anything strike up any painful memories?

"Well, don't just stand there," Titan says. "Go after him! But not you two," he says warningly to Raisa and Dara. "You two are coming with me. We're taking Carl to the infirmary and then we're seeing Empath."

John turns Dara loose and moves down towards the ruckus.
"but don't you get cramps when fighting on a full stomach? I know, I know, shut up and move"
