EPIC M&M: Issue 6 (IC)

"You do realise that a person is not something one owns, do you not? Besides, depending on which qualities of the original whole she found atractive, her affection could be to either half once she finds out about the separation," Johan says to the two duplicates, keeping his annoyedness away from his voice. "Now, if you excuse me, I am getting slightly bored of these hallways," he adds and disappears to the nearest outlet to appear in the room where Sanchez currently is, moving on the double for now.

Sanjay's eyes go wide and a genuine smile appears on his face for the first time in a long time (especially for him). He jumps out of the hall and flies down to the foyer, flipping a quick switchback towards the recovery area. Landing in front of the doors, he pushes through excitedly. "Monica?"
 

"I would like to be there when you talk to Monica's mom, I was the team leader and I think its the right thing to do." She tells Thunder quietly.

Johan
You end up travelling through the wiring of the hospital, which to you just looks like a tunnel with various branches off of it. After a few minutes of travelling, you pop out into the lab, slamming into the back of a rather expensive machine. It's sudden relocation causes it to tip over, slamming to the ground with a rather unpleasant sounding smashing sound. You are left standing next to the plug you exited from, directly behind the now toppled machine.

"My DNA sequencer!" shouts the startled doctor.

"Ow. My pacheque," Sanchez groans. "Just how exactly did you manage that?" she asks.

Michelle
"Noooo, I think we'll leave that particular conversation to me. You'll have to just trust me that she is not the most level headed on the best of days. Like mother, like daughter. Letting Monica go on missions was already against our agreement, so I expect to get chewed out pretty good. Better me than you."

Thunder stretches and heads for the door. "My brother is here, so I better go see how he fares with healing her. Anyway, don't sweat it too much; you didn't do anything wrong to get her hurt."

Neutron
You are just about to push into recovery when an iron grasp locks on your shoulder b riefly and halts you.

"Probably not the best of plans, Amigo," Titan says.

"A hundred bucks on Monica," Doctor Johnson says, watching through the windowed door. "And I'll be back to healing her right after she gets loose."

"Sorry, but no betting on this particular fight," Titan says.

Through the door you can see Thunder and Monica, and hear mainly Monica, having words. Monica's language leaves little to the imagination and her descriptiveness is rather impressive. She cuts short one particularly colourful tirade when she sees you with the other two in the window.

"Sanjay, get me out of here!" she shouts, her claws tearing large rents in the table in frustration. A short second later, she shouts at Thunder, "I'll change back when you blood well let me go!"

Thunder says something you don't hear and Monica again has a quick response.

"I know exactly what you are! A waste. Of. Skin!" she exclaims, to which Thunder's irritation starts to show, a few sparks dancing off him. "And try your intimidation tactics on someone who isn't immune to you!" she snarls at him.

"Sanjay!" she shouts for you again.

X12 rushes at Titan and cuts at him with his tiny scalpel, a move that must seem comical at best. He catches Titan in the back of the shoulder as he is facing away, slicing through his uniform. The result is rather unexpected. Blood seeps from the relatively minor wound and Titan staggers to his knees. Empath staggers as well.

Attack roll 23 hits! Titan receives no damage save bonus....
Damage save (DC16): 9 fails (1L, stunned) -- Empath takes the same damage but uses a hero point to unstun.

From the door, Jeremy York grasps his firearm like a rifle, flips a switch and a rapid series of light beams flash out of the barrel, spraying at the staggering Empath.

Attack rolls vs Flatfooted Empath: 14 miss, 10 miss, natural 20 (not a crit), natural 20 (not a crit) -- Dang!
Fortitude saves (DC18): 23 (success), 14 fails (fatigued)

I don't have JAY with me, so I think I have it right... I do know that at -8, you have no chance to crit her, so that part is right :)

Kodiak gets to all fours and shakes his head, letting out a bellow of anger. (He unstuns)

Empath turns with an angry look to Jeremy York. "Another of the York family? Interesting toy," she says in Prophet's voice. "I'll take that." With those words she forms her hand into a claw then pulls it sharply back into a fist and towards her. Your gun is torn from your hand and flies to float before her.

Attack roll: 37 (hits)
Opposed strength: 20 (Jay), 35 (Prophet/Empath)

You feel your mind being assaulted at the same time. "Interesting. Multple settings. This one sounds fun," Empath says in Prophet's voice. The gun emits a faint click, then blasts back at you, angry red light this time!

Yes, that'd be Villainous surge... from the archvillain no less!
Attack rolls (at -8): 28, 22, 29, 34
Damage saves (DC23): 18, 22, 21, 7 (HP -- 18) [4L]

Jeremy is suddenly riddled by scorch marks and blood wells up very briefly. As he staggers back, a band on his arm suddenly tightens and the wounds immediately stop bleeding. He recovers from the wounds immediately!

Stimpjack injector triggered... nice (4L healed).

"Back to your feet, Titan. I'm not through with you." Though the order is given, and Titan tries to obey, he fails to get to his feet. "Hmm.... interesting..."

Michael wastest little time, pouncing at Empath. He slams into a force field emetted from her belt and bounces off, changing forms as he prepares to attack her again. Raisa is far more effective. She rushes from behind Empath, spinning as she does so to deliver a backhand to the side of Empath's face. The force field doesn't have enough strength to absorb the whole blow, and Empath flies through the air and crashes through a nearby bench. Somehow, she regains her feet immediately, rolling to her feet effortlessly with a laugh!

"Keep it up, children," Prophet laughs through Empath. "You're bound to kill at least one of them before long."

Initiatives: Prophet/Empath -- 40 (2L, fatigued, 2VP), Titan 24 (1L, 1S), Michael 22, Raisa 14, JAY 13, X12 12, Kodiak 8 (4L, 2HP), Dara 6 (1L, KO)
 


Sanjay listens to the exchange and frowns a bit. Looking to Titan, he says, "Hey, maybe I can calm her down...if not, well at least I'm scratch-resistant." Looking at Dr. Johnson he smiles, giving him the thumbs up. "You rock, doc. I knew you'd fix her up, you da man."

Goiing through the door, he smiles. "Hey, babe. Good to see you all patched up, you had us worried." Looking over at Thunder and back at Monica, he says, "Look, the boss guy is just looking out for you. The doctor said if you don't rest and lick your wounds, you're just going to hurt yourself again." He grins and shrugs, adding, "Besides, I'm here now, no need to go anywhere."
 

"I bumped into it, giving it some momentum, which caused it to topple over since it wasn't attached to the floor."


"I'm not exactly sure. I think I can somehow transform my body and gear into electricity and travel through wiring. My best guess would be that it is another side-effect I have acquired. It is somewhat disorienting, to say the least.
And sorry about the machine, it seems I need to practice my exit."
 

Should be more cautious... those looks like lucky shots... toughtJeremy before his mind is assaulted.

Come on! Don't let her control you...

Jay try to regain control of himself. If he is successfull, he use his power to boost himself. He switch back the mode to fatigue and single shot and shot at Empath.

"My sequencer," the doctor groans again.

"Well, that would explain the electromagnetics he gives off," Sanchez says, tapping her lips thoughtfully. "I wonder how you sense where you want to go," she ponders. "And I thought you'd be off to see Anna, sweetie," she adds, turning to a pack she has on the counter and pulling out a piece of tubing. She quickly snaps it together with a few others and in a few moments has an automated lever that pushes the machine back up to vertical.

"My poor poor sequencer," the doctor laments at the dented and inoperable machine.

"Hmmm, doesn't look too bad. Johan can fix that," she says to the doctor. "And you can explain your nanobots to me again."

Neutron
"He's sixteen years too late to give a damn!" she says dangerously. "And if Sanjay doesn't help me change back, I may lose control," she adds in a voice thick with innuendo, jerking at her restraints, tail twitching violently.

"Too late for that," Thunder says tensely. "I think it's high time you learned to change back on your own."

"Screw you!" Monica shouts at him. "Sanjay, let me out of these things!" she shouts at you, jerking on the restraints.

X12 stabs at Titan again. The scalpel slides into Titan's shoulder easily, with zero resistance, much like a hot knife into butter. It grinds against bone the wound seeps blood and blackness starts spread out through his veins as if he's been badly poisoned.

Attack roll of 18 hits. No damage save allowed vs DC 18. Titan is dying.

Empath staggers as if struck in the same location, spinning nearly ninety degrees. Jeremy York suddenly seems to swell in size slightly, his comfortable pants and shirt now tight as his muscles expand. He rushes forward and delvers a hard punch at Empath's side.

Attack roll: 24 hits
Damage save (DC25): 19 fails (1S, stunned)

Empath lets out a gasp of air as Jeremy blasts through her force field to send her staggering across the floor. A moment later, the blast of an energy weapon is heard from nearby as Carl appears from the rubble of the coffee shop, gun in hand. The blast takes Empath in the middle of the chest. She is thrown back into a pillar, looks down at her chest and collapses.

Initiatives: Prophet/Empath -- 40 (3L, 1S, fatigued, dying, 3VP), Titan 24 (2L, 1S, dying), Michael 22, Raisa 14, JAY 13, X12 12, Carl 10 (2L, 1HP), Kodiak 8 (4L, 2HP), Dara 6 (1L, KO)

Elsewhere
Prophet picks himself up from the floor with a chuckle, dark flames dancing about his chest and shoulder. Soon, they vanish, leaving him unhurt.

"Clever boy," he says with a chuckle to Ghost and Xavier. "I think Titan's weakness to silver has been greatly underexagerated."
 

"Get crash carts in here NOW," X12 barks towards the doctors. "Sedate Empath - Prophet might still be in there, but be careful - her injuries will be as severe as Titan's," X12 orders, dropping the silver implement as he kneels down to start triaging Titan.
