EPIC M&M: Issue 7 (IC)

[Velmont]

Jay stays silent a moment, looking at the screen. He seems disturb by the sight of New York. Jay is struggling between sadness and anger. He calms himself as the images switch to Nova. After hearing both Johan and Michelle asking to go to South America, Jay asks to Thunder.

"Sir! Is that mean we delay the mission to capture Split? I would like to go to South America too if you allow it."

 

[Gideon]

Michael, 5/5, hunky-dory

A startingly calm center in the middle of the storm that is the EPIC command center, Michael waits for Cosmo and the others to reach a verdict, a plan, a something. Michael knows that he should be angry and sad and a hundread other things but he just can't right now. He just knows that Cosmo will figure it out. He always has before.

 

[Deva]

Lynn: 4/4; Peachy Keen

Face burning with embarassment, Lynn steps back from the young man. "Everything is fine," She answers. "There was just a little misunderstanding that has since been sorted out. Nothing that should be of concern to a member of Epic."

She inwardly cringes when she notices he won't look at her, but allows a bashful smile to creep onto her lips. "However, there is another matter I could use your assistance with. My name is Lynn and I was on my way to the Epic Compound when I found myself a little lost. I came inside to call a taxi but, as providence would have it, I found you. If I wouldn't be keeping you from your business, might I impose on you for an escort back to your facility?"

 

[Agamon]

Neutron; HP 5/5; Flabergasted

Sanjay stares at the screen, silent and slack-jawed through the whole thing. When it's over, his jaw is clenched, as are his fists, which begin to burn with raw energy. "Sonuva...un-frickin-believable!"

"Michelle is right. They'll be ancient history by the time the jet is primed and we get there in it," he says to Thunder. "At least some of us need get to those bastards, ASAP!"

 

[Mordane76]

ESCORT! X12 flutters mentally. Uh... break my head open at the psychic, escort hot girl, break my head... escort hot girl... maybe hot girl wouldn't mind going with to break my head open first?


"I was on my way to a meeting, but of course I'd escort you back to the facility afterwards. Hopefully shouldn't take very long," X12 says.

 

[Deva]

Lynn; 4/4; Just Ducky

"I wouldn't want to intrude on anything," Lynn says, "But if you're certain you wouldn't mind me tagging along it will give me a chance to see the city a little better."

 

[Velmont]

"I would add one other thing, with that many fallen, wouldn't X12 skills be needed? It might be a good idea to call him over if he is near."

 

[Mordane76]

"I wouldn't want to intrude on anything," Lynn says, "But if you're certain you wouldn't mind me tagging along it will give me a chance to see the city a little better."

YES! X12 exclaims mentally.

"Not a trouble at all, I assure you," X12 says. "Your company would be welcome."

 

[Dalamar]

"Unless over half of the non-speedsters have gained the ability to travel extra fast, I don't think we could make too much of a difference against them. Remember how much trouble we had dealing with them the last time? Now imagine missing half of the group, including Cosmo's ability to negate powers. I, at least, am not willing to see anybody sacrifice themselves to delay them mere moments."
Though he says 'anybody', Johan glances worriedly at Anna. Then an idea crosses his mind.
"I might be able to transport some of us there through the digital world. However, I've never tried to take somebody along, or make such a long transportation voluntarily, so something could go wrong. It is an open option, however."

 

[Velmont]

"Digital travelling? Interesting option. How fast you can travel with that? And how fast is the jet? That could make Traiblazer, SpeedDemon, Metal Mistress and Johan as a quick team, plus anyone he can carry, which should be some Senior. Thunder have already fought Tank with some success, Empath powers would be of some help too, she might have Nova coming back to us. Having Cosmo there to neutralize some power would be good too. That would mean Johan would have to carry 3 persons. The others would have to take the jet..." Jays stop a moment, seeing his habit to be in charge has overridden the chain of command of EPIC, he quickly adds "But it'll be Thunder's call."
