Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

"There's a mag-lev terminal not a half mile from here. We could just go over the fence and run through the trees to the road and hike from there. C'mon!" she says, running across the field towards the fence, dragging Dara along with her.

Michelle watches the two girls run across the field an odd look is on her face, whether it's a look of 'man-this-is-dumb' or 'why-didn't-I-think-of-that' is uncertain.

Regardless she shrugs slightly and sprints to catch up.

Sighing to herself, Raisa looks around the empty gym before walking back to the mat. Pissing off your friends so you're alone... suppose it's one way to keep out of trouble.

It reminds her of the first few times she had to go for counseling at the Teen Center. She had wanted to quit, but her mother would not hear of it. "Your choices, your consequences. Deal with it." In the end, it worked out for the best and Raisa could only hope that this would too.

She shakes her head, ridding herself of the depressing mood that was creeping up on her, and begins to work on combining a ballet Port De Bras and a jazz Cuban Motion into a cohesive dance move.
 

"OK Dad, I'll take care of this gasbag" Replies John as he tries the same stretch punch on the guy who passes gas (sorry, had to say it).
You reach out and punch the mutant, hitting him solidly in the stomach. He lets out an oof and a black cloud spews from him, filling the clearing with a smokey haze. You think you see him turn to flee. You also are breathing easier suddenly and feel you can move a bit better.

Hit with a 25. Goon fails his damage save with a 12, getting stunned. He spends a VP to unstun and lets out an obscuring cloud. Everyone has partial concealment.

"What, you want to sound like a comic book character or something?" Titan says as he watches the tv.

"You're right. His ass is so kicked. 'This just in. Cool, stylin', the-ladies-can't-get-enough-of-him Neutron has just kicked butt-ugly, moronic, bad-guy-that-had-it-coming Neutron's ass. Film at eleven.' Pulitzer Prize material, right there...aw, c'mon, that kick was a mile offside."
 

"Yeesh, I must still be asleep. Be right back." Moments later Vince is back in his seat with a non-destroyed plate of food.

Agamon said:
"Neutron radiation? And I thought I was a freak. Great, I can see it now: 'Neutron kills 40 people in mall massacre'." Sanjay says and sighs. "So what do you guys think of Captain Particle?" he says with a smirk.

"I think you should go with Quark. It will confuse folks something awful. And I've got ten bucks right here that says Spain is going down. I've another 10 if you want in on this Titan."
 

"A very good point", Johan says, nodding his approval.

When Sanchez points out the battle outside, Johan smiles a little. "I wonder if they are giving each other some payback from what happened yesterday as they spar."

First, grow to full size. If he's still within reach, envelop him in a grappled. If not, chase him and when in range get him in a grapple. "You aren't getting away that easy punk!"

"Please inform Empath of my location when she receives the message, ARIS, and inform her she can contact wherever I am," X12 says after completing the message.

"ARIS, prepare a training checklist for me with the following goals. Save this as a personal file so that I can track my progress. First goal -- elicit adaptation to electricity. Second goal -- train for blind-fighting conditions. Third goal -- enhance olfaction spatial mapping abilities. Fourth goal -- master restorative power. Fifth goal -- enhance and master resuscitation power. End list.

"ARIS, does the EPIC training facility have stimulation rooms? If so, are those rooms fitted to deliver electrical stimulation in the form of continuous and pulse bursts? I intend to begin my personal training regimen today, starting with electrical adapation."

"Yeah, the referee is looking blind," Titan agrees. "Just keep the hell away from him if you meet up with the other Neutron and that might happen. He's hard to beat in hand to hand, but he never seemed able to use his powers ranged. He has created explosive bursts centered on himself though.

"I think you should go with Quark. It will confuse folks something awful. And I've got ten bucks right here that says Spain is going down. I've another 10 if you want in on this Titan."
"No thanks, Amigo. No betting with students. It sets a bad example when I take their money," Titan says with a grin.

"The Russia, South Africa game is on too!" Tara says, checking the listings. "Home team going to kick Russia's butt!"

"Dream on, comrade," Anna says with a grin.

Workshop
When Sanchez points out the battle outside, Johan smiles a little. "I wonder if they are giving each other some payback from what happened yesterday as they spar."
"I heard about that. It was only a matter of time before someone did it. He's been a real bastard lately," she says matter-of-factly. "Just looks like their normal training though. Nova's got solid control over that dragon of hers. If Thunder can learn that too, it'll be a big surprise next time we come up against Anarchy or Zero." She turns back to the work at hand.

"Ok, you get how to do the melting process. We'll have to do it in batches, so lets get to work on the design and see what sort of molding we'll need to do. Punch up a new design template in the computer," she says, letting you at the terminal. "Just save it as Johan1," she says, also giving you a complex and long password. "I'll trust you with your own designs, but you check with me before you make any major design additions to your armor."

Yard
Kevin sees Carl wandering around kind of aimlessly, kicking at a rock as he goes. Carl ends up sitting in the bleachers watching Thunder and Nova train.

Raisa
You finish your first attempt at your dance combination, and you hear the sound of clapping. You turn to see Mendez sitting on the bleachers watching you.

"That's pretty good. My daughter used to do ballet, but left off it when she got older." He takes a drink from an overly large cup of coffee. "So, you wanted to see me?"

Loki
You play some games and head out to meet Monica. Your blending gets you past the gaggle of reporters and cameras at the gate and you catch the Mag Lev to the right part of town, and meet her in the coffee shop.

"Hey, hero!" she says as you come in. Most people turn to look at you, and you hear whispered conversation about you being in EPIC.

X12
"Memo recorded, X12. I am afraid the facility has no such rooms available. Undoubtedly, training sessions will include how to avoid such attacks as electricity," ARIS replies to you.

It's about 11:00 and you are about to go for food when your moniter activates.

"X12, there is an incoming message from Empath. Standby, please." Empath's face comes up on the screen.

"Hello, X12," she says. It appears she is in the EPIC jet. "Please remember to address me properly as Ms. Desrochers in the future. I despise the name given me by the press, in case you have forgotten," she says to remind you. "I won't be back for at least four hours, and Zobari is resting, so what is it you needed to discuss?"

Michelle
You make it over the fence and to the Mag-Lev terminal without a problem. Dara is talking as much in mental broadcasts as verbally, drawing the attention of a good many people. Many young men and teenaged boys are eyeing the three of you openly. But you make it to the shopping center without a problem.

Walking from the terminal to the center, you are followed by a small group of teenaged boys. They make cat-calls and wolf-whistles and lewd comments as you walk.

Just let me fry a few of their brain cells. I can be subtle! Dara exclaims loudly in your minds. It doesn't seem to give the jerks any pause, and the comments continue.

You notice one boy trailing a bit behind the others and not participating say, "Guys, leave 'em alone. This isn't very nice."

"Slag off, Benjamin," one of the other boys says snidely. "Besides, they want us bad."

"Yeah, boy scout. They're just some high class ho's," calls another. "How much for a good time, baby!" one calls out. The others laugh.

John
You grow quickly, and stretch for the thug, but the haze makes you fall short on your grasp and he sprints out of the clearing. You feel your way along to the edge of the haze to see him dashing well ahead of you along the trail. He's put serious distance between you and him. As he passes a tree, an arm whips out and catches him in the throat. The goon flips ass over tea kettle, landing stunned on the ground. Your dad walks out from behind the large oak tree, the other thug over his shoulder.

"Looks like we got 'em all, boy. Good job," your dad says. "Now pick that gasball up and lets go make sure those ladies are alright, and deliver all of the thugs to the cops."

You miss with a 19 due to concealment. Gasball is stunned and you're able to wrap him up effectively.

Kevin walk to Carl.

"I've heard you'll be with me on that special treatment Thunder have chosen for us... That's what Titan said. It may be a bane, but maybe we can make it less painfull if we doesn't work against each other. I dunno yet what they have plan, but it may be a good thing we set a guideline before we start... what do you think of that?"

Kevin continue to take a look at Nova's leasson.
