Epic M&M: Issue 4 (IC)

[Deva]

Xi thows the staff towards Raisa. "She can do it. I will not fix her mistake."

Master Wen strokes his wispy beard contemplating Xi's words.

With a little yelp, Raisa catches the staff as it sails toward her. She stares at the blood at the end, and shakes her head. "No. Oh no no no..." She sees Master Wen considering it. "No way!! He'll tear me apart! I saw what he did to Vince! He tore his wing off! I don't have wings! Just arms and legs and a head that I'm rather attatched to! No way! NO WAY!!"

"Huh?" Randall will wait to try again later. He goes to help with the clean up and repairs.

"I didn't just spent more than a half an hour calming her down after God knows what Vince did to her just so you could waltz in and scare her half to death. Does she look like a dangerous criminal to you? For all we know Split could have been forcing her to work with him. Plus the fact that she is the only real solid lead we have on Split and now getting any information out of her is now going to be three times as hard thanks to you."[/COLOR] Michelle glares at Cosmo, anger clearly written on her face.

"Hey! What do you mean 'After what Vince did to her'!!" Vince exclaims as he catches back up to them in the hall. All I did was stomp bad guys, and rescue dogs and nurses. I probably kept this little chicklet from going back to her endentured service to Split too. Holy lack of gratitude Batman!"

"Well we went on down to the wave park as you know. We found that Mrs. Raynes was there and were hanging out with her and generally having fun. Then somebody made another hit attempt on here. Lucky thing we were there really. It was a bunch of gunmen and a shapeshifter. Pretty ruthless dude really. Offfed one of Mrs. Raynes' bodyguards right in front of her. We managed to take out or capture all the gunment, and we though he'd gotten the shifter, but he managed to get away somehow. Is there anything else I need to mention... I think civilian casualties were low, and the press was OK about it. Can you think of anything else I might have missed?" John explains to Trailblazer.

"Quick, Robin! To the Batcave!" Cosmo yells, using Vince's distraction to escape with his passenger towards the main doors and EPIC HQ.

I just couldn't resist.

With a little yelp, Raisa catches the staff as it sails toward her. She stares at the blood at the end, and shakes her head. "No. Oh no no no..." She sees Master Wen considering it. "No way!! He'll tear me apart! I saw what he did to Vince! He tore his wing off! I don't have wings! Just arms and legs and a head that I'm rather attatched to! No way! NO WAY!!"

Master Wen seems to make up his mind upon your outburst. "This make good lesson for nosey girl. Not know what Raisa worried about. Jackal all chained up." He takes his tea from the stove as the water in the kettle boils. "You go with Xi now. He show you what do. You want look in dojo, now you get look in dojo." He checks the rice, dishing some into a bowl for himself as Xi turns and walks out, heading towards the dojo that Jackal is in.

"I have thread ready to reattach arm later," he says as he sits down to eat.

I think civilian casualties were low, and the press was OK about it. Can you think of anything else I might have missed?" John explains to Trailblazer.

"Sounds like you did a heck of a job, partner. The press sure is in love with you too, not an easy thing to get going for yourself. Sanchez was saying you guys stopped a lot of damage, and every civilian casualty was the assassins faults, not yours. Darn fine job, tex."

"Natural born leader, boy! And a mug the camera loves," your dad says, clapping you on the shoulder. "I'm gonna go get some grub."

Loki
You get to the girls dorm where all the damage is. Believe me, there is no lack of people willing to take you up on your offer of cleaning assistance.

"Oh hey, and Monica is looking for you. What was it she wanted," he says, striking a phony pensive pose. "Oh yeah. Something about you blowing up her room. Boss job on that, boss-babe. Heh, boss-babe," he laughs. "Gonna have to tell Sanjay that one."

"Considering what your brother did, you should be the last person commenting on a lack of control Cosmo. And I mean what ever you said or did that caused her to believe that you were going to eat her if she came out from under the desk." She says to Vince.

You want to take her to a holding cell, fine go ahead. God, both of you need to grow up.

Michelle turns heads towards the infirmary muttering how stupid boys can be.

She watches you very carefully for a long moment, reading your eyes. "Please, only look at my face," she says intensely. Finally, after what seems like several minutes, she gets off you, and steps away, crossing her arms before her modestly. "I would have your shirt, please?" she asks, no blame in her voice, nor anger. "Would you tell me of your vision, yes?"

Rolling to his side, X12 rises to his knees. He turns his head, undoes his shirt quickly, and hands it to her. "Your wounds need attention," he says, still looking away.

"It was a strike team... I was the leader. I killed a girl... no more than twelve... because she was in the way of the actual target. She was performing for a businessman and his clients, a dance like yours," X12 says, looking down. "I don't know his name -- just that we were ordered to kill him. I don't even know who gave the order... except that I gave orders to others. One of them fouled up his assignment -- to neutralize a guard. They raised an alert... so we took the whole place down."

Sanchez has you creating metal beams and welding joints together as she uses the Jet in Mech form to lift the tower back in place. It's a long process, and after your earlier excitement, you are getting both really hungry and tired.

Sanjay stretches after restrengthening a weld. He looks up at Sanchez in her jet-bot and flies up to the cockpit. "We almost done here? Neutron needs food badly."

You want to take her to a holding cell, fine go ahead. God, both of you need to grow up.

"Yeah, that'd be my brother. But not me. I'm in total control. Handsome, strong, witty, quick thinking. Hey, you threatened to eat her too?" he says with a laugh to Vince as he heads for the door.

Sanjay

Sanjay stretches after restrengthening a weld. He looks up at Sanchez in her jet-bot and flies up to the cockpit. "We almost done here? Neutron needs food badly."

"Sure, kiddo," Sanchez says. "Go get some food. I'll get some of the other kids to help me with the glass after supper."

Once you arrive at the mess hall, it's pretty full of kids eating and watching Straighjacket dominate the news. Monica is nowhere to be seen, however.

X12

Rolling to his side, X12 rises to his knees. He turns his head, undoes his shirt quickly, and hands it to her. "Your wounds need attention," he says, still looking away.

"They are very minor," she assures you, putting your shirt on. It does dwarf her. Once done, you note she has used the shreds of her prior top as a bandage. "You need not trouble yourself with them."

She listens to your recounting of the story. "A frightening tale," she says calmly. "But it seems to me that you are not the same person as you were, yes? Perhaps you will remember more if we continue," she says, gesturing to the patio you had been dancing on. "And if not, perhaps you will learn to dance," she adds with a faint smile.
