extra: energy field [flaw: permanent; extra: protection; extra: immunities], flight, energy shapes [extra: animate object [flaw: dragon only]]; stunt: drain energy) A thug bursts into the market, running right up to the leader.  "Boss!  There are mutants at the old man's place!  They attacked us!" he stops, seeing the carnage and his face splits into a grin.  As Raisa bursts in, he points at her.  "That's the witch that attacked us!" "Alright boys!" he shouts, climbing on his bike again.  "We've done enough today and the boss-lady will want to know about this!  Grab up anyone who needs help, mount up and lets ride!" he exclaims into his helmet.  You see a small radio tranceiver attached to it.  He turns to Raisa. "You messed with the Red Rose Syndicate, girl.  You and that old man will pay for that.  But not today.  Consider this," he says, gesturing at the carnage around you, "just a taste of what's to come."  With those words he fires up his bike and squeals out of the square. Carl quite literally burst through the flaming wall, grabbing Nova and pulling her away from Kevin.  He gets her about fifteen feet away and collapses, overcome by burns himself.  His jacket is flaming on his back.  Raisa runs over and rolls him over to put him out as the leader and other thugs start up their bikes and ride off. X12, DaraAs you and Dara run towards the center of town, you meet up with Xi who joins you.  As one, you all stagger as you hear Carl mentally scream in pain, an image of flames and a charred Nova flashing briefly into your head.  Raisa urges you to hurry to the square urgently.  You also hear the gang leader threatening Raisa, relayed mentally.  You see and hear motorcycles screaming about town and notice the gang members picking up the few wounded they have before the head for the main road out of town. It's only thirty seconds before you reach the marketplace, and you see a very bad scene.  Kevin is lying on the ground, encompassed by a flaming energy field.  A cart near him is engulfed in flames and the building by the cart has flames licking up the back wall.  With how close the buildings are, and the wood used in their construction, it won't be long before other buildings start on fire.  A firey wall is just disappating near the middle of the square.  Nearby, Nova and Carl lay.   Carl is smoking and has some serious burns on his face and hands.  Raisa is still patting a fire out on his clothes and his chest is rising and falling weakly as he coughs.  Nova is naked, her skin blistered and charred.  She's not moving at all. New York - Hospital"Hey, I didn't see you spending any time in the simulator," Cosmo shoots back.  "I've just started VTL training.  I think I'm doing pretty good," he says with a cocky grin. You are all taken into the emergency room to get patched up, though Cosmo and Anna stay in the jet.  Doctor Johnson works for a long time with each of the injured.  You come to the realization that while his powers are definitely more user friendly than X12, his powers are far inferior to X's.  However, they are just as effective in the long run. MichelleTara sits with Michelle while she's treated.  "I think you need to learn to dodge attacks," she says with a grin. "I'll second that," the doctor says as he presses his hand painfully to a serious electrical burn on her shoulder. OOC:  It will take 5 minutes per hit for him to heal, so you'll be here a fair while. NeutronMonica is cuddled up to Neutron pretty much the entire time in the hospital.  "Hope you still have some energy there, sport," she purrs, still in hybrid form.  Your stomach rumbles loudly.  "Maybe food first, hmmm?  Oh!" she suddenly exclaims.  "I better go check on thumper.  Be back shortly," she says with a feline grin, prancing towards Rebound's exam room. VincentYou are in a hospital and don't need to be treated!  Will wonders never cease! New York - MethesdaJohan, Loki, StraightjacketAfter fifteen minutes of signing forms, you have your information and are on your way.  Another thirty minutes later finds you with the rest of the team in the emergency of Bush Memorial Hospital.  Straightjacket is quickly ushered in to see the doctor.  The rest of you are left to your own devices.</blockquote>
