just in case. As the rest of you leave, Grandmother says, "I sent Michelle, John and the others to answer the emergency call from the police on the freeway, Raul."  He splutters. "Jeezes!  Who's leading?" "Michelle seems quite capable in that role," Grandmother says reassuringly.  Mendez relaxes a bit, and you wonder if she just used some sort of emotional control on him. Despite being calmer now, Mendez hustles you two and himself to the War Room and takes a quick stock of the situation.  When you both emerge in your outfits, he's watching an ACTION NEWS report on the monitor.  Michelle catches one, then another helicopter falling from the sky, helped by a pair of blue clothed flying men.  In a ring of destroyed vehicles, something is lining up three armored cars carefully, and two other mutants are battling police officers. "Sanjay, think you can push your powers to get you and Loki there?  I've seen Titan do it, and I know he's not a speedster normally.  Coms in the area seem to be down and I can't reach the others." You'd have to spend a hero point for super flight, but I'll let you and Loki get there if you carry him, in time for round 4 of combat (we haven't finished round 1 yet).  You'll reach the SWAT truck at the end of round 3 if you do that. Hospital... an hour later...Jun Po sits demurely in her bed, legs tucked under her and eyes closed.  Her damp hair hangs about her shoulders and she's garbed in a slightly damp hospital gown.  She just emerged from the bathroom and shower after the doctor healed her. Vincent, you are feeling much better.  The pain in your back down to a dull ache that really doesn't restrict your movement at all.  Your back muscles are really sore still, but you can move your wings.  Flight is a long way off though.  The mutant Doctor Johnson, who obviously is Thunder's brother, manages to heal your obvious wounds and ease your back pain, but your muscle aches remain.  He also provides you with some of his own jeans, though you have to go shirtless and shoeless.  He manages to cheer you up, despite your condition, with a few jokes and comments as he heals you. "Can't go a day without one of you in here, can I?  Best go get a shower yourself, son." he says with a smile as he finishes and moves to X12.  You realize you are still covered in your own dried blood. X12, you regain consciousness, the doctor's hand on your head keeping you from sitting bolt upright.  Even though he's touching you, you can't even sense a single bit of his health status.  In fact, all you feel is his hand touching your head.  It's warm, except the small band of metal; his wedding ring.  It's kind of odd really, especially when you notice he has a bandage over his right forearm.  He notices you wake up. "Hey, look who's awake," he says cheerfully.  "Am I going to have to start charging you daily rent?"  You feel remarkably refreshed and invigorated.  You notice your clothes, cleaned, sit folded on the chair next to the bed. FreewayKevin mimics Raisa's powers.  He suddenly shoots up in height to seven feet.  His hair grows long and turns a red-brown in color.  His eyes become a deeper brown and his muscles bulge.  He does not spot the original Johan and has no inkling that the one near him isn't the original.  So he speaks to the Johan next to him.  Spot check failed on DC30 (very difficult to see a belt on a guy behind cars and among a huge crowd of people over 200 feet away).  You gain raisa's powers after your extra effort, without backash.POWERS: Super-Strength [+8] [stunt: Lifting; extra: Protection [+8]; extra: Shockwave [+8] Michelle successfully lowers both helicopters to the ground safely.  The police clambor and stumble out, one of them giving a wave in thank you to her. Raisa sprints ahead beside John, Tara buzzing after her.  Anna blasts off, rockets firing, heading at the ring and Carl sprints after Raisa towards the battle site.  Rebound bounces along over every obstacle, landing with a boing.  Upon reaching the SWAT truck, you get a glimpse of the three mutants in the ring of wreckage, and see the flying wizards land within it as well.  You come up on a policeman. "Thank god!" he exclaims.  "We pulled our men out; Two are dead and eighteen wounded, but I think we got everyone out."  As if to refute that statement, a wounded officer suddenly appears, levitating over you, wrapped in a swirling and sparkling energy field.  He lowers down into John's arms.  Above the combat, you see the blue robed wizard open his hands to his sides and give a slight bow, before he vanishes into the ring again. "I don't know what they want, but you have to stop them.  At least they let the civilians get out of their vehicles before they started blowing things up," he adds as a car sails overhead to land with an explosion among other abandoned vehicles.  The gunfire is tapering off and the helicopters are either pulling back or being driven off by air elementals and energy blasts. 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 It is Round 2, so post your actions you want to take.  With the exception of the fact the bad guys go first, you guys can do whatever you like really.</blockquote>
