Guardians -Welcome to the Wild Wild West

[Synchronicity]

Lightspeed, 4/4, 0S/0L

Chris starts slightly as Kevin shifts into a copy of himself. "Well..that's...huh. Look, Kev, I know your power's kind of cool and all, but would you mind asking before you do that? It's just a bit...freaky. Though in the circumstances, also kind of handy." Chris grins as he makes the last comment.

Boy’s Locker Room:
”People accuse you of cheating just because you hide in a different country…the nerve. Let me finish up and then we’ll play your game. Lets go teams. You take…whomever is on your left (Kevin) and I’ll take the other one(Mason).

“Oh boy a race. Does a story about a turtle and hare come to mind for anybody else?” Mason says while maintaining his easy lean against Kevin.

A short minute or two later Steve is out and dry and dressed with a big smile on his face.

”Alright, ready?....go!

As Steve finishes speaking, Chris is gone, a glimmering trail of light marking his passage. Moving at his maxiumum possible speed he begins to criss-cross the base, while at the same time trying to remember if he's seen any plans or maps of the place which might help him on where not to search. He has a delighted smile on his face as he gets to really stretch his legs for the first time in a while, and he glances over at Kevin and grins. "Pretty cool, huh?"

OOC: Relevant powers, etcetera; Super-Speed +8, Photographic Memory.

Carbon, 4/4, 0S/0L, 0

Kevin gets red in the face when Chris mentions that what he did is creepy. (OOC: Probably the only time we'll ever Chris embarassed ) He recovers quickly though, since Chris follows it up with a joke.

...he glances over at Kevin and grins. "Pretty cool, huh?"

Kevin takes a split second longer than Chris to get started.

"Yeah, wow! This is great!"

Karma:
The leader of the pack gives a little shrug “Not much to do but hang out in the afternoon. There’s a place about 15 minutes from here we go to. A little hole in the wall pub.” Cute man #1’s explanation gets cut off by a second group of men walking up behind him. Most of them are wearing badly sweat stained brown tee shirts.

“Don’t believe a word Walker says. He’d lie through his teeth to bang his momma. Prolly got more STD’s than brains.” The speaker in this gang is a very muscular man of about 6’2” with a shaved head and at least three visable tattoos, one of a pouncing wildcat.

Walker gives the two of you a wink and a grin and obviously speaking as much to you as to the giant behind him. “Don’t mind him, just angry he’s a bastard that can’t play ball.”

Longhorn:
As Linda steps into the room she see’s the same large round table with equally spaced seats. Sitting in one of them is the handsome if rigid face of Lt. Col. Savage. In the chair next to him is a man dressed in fatigues with a shaved head and a matching pair of deep scars running from above his eye to his chin. Both of his eyes are missing and in their place is what looks to be some kind of metal orb. Their voices trail off as you enter and you can see a halographic image of the training session hovering in the middle of the table. Currently, Phoenix is launching a streak of flames toward the robots. A small tag hangs next to his head “Phoenix, Fire Control lvl Mu”

Savage stands up and waves you forward. “Take a seat Longhorn. This is Major Caldwell you had some problems with the scenario earlier and he is in charge of training.”

”Your file says your angry, but loyal. Killed a man when you were angry. You need to fix that temper.” The voice has an edge to it that reminds you of your drill seargent back in basic. There is just that tone that all of them have.
”Everything we do has a reason. Why do you think the Guardians were put into this scenario?”

Phoenix:
“You didn’t get to choose? I thought you supers got all the perks.” Ed says over his shoulder. “Do you know what the deal is with ridiculously good looking women and super-powers? Every chick I met on your squad is sweet!”

Ed continues to shower up quickly and efficiently.

Lightspeed + Carbon
Two blinding glowing lights quickly race through the building quickly dodging past several maintenance guys as they are playing with something in the ceiling, possibly a light. You speed by too fast too really notice. 6 seconds later you thunder in to what you presume is the cafeteria.
A serving table is laid out on one end with a salad bar next to it. Several long tables sit around the room and a large TV is set in the corner. A baseball game is on. Looks like the Dodgers are pounding the Giants.

No Steve and Mason.

Not two breaths later the losing side appears in the corner with a soft glowing blue aura around them that quickly fades.

”Damn.”

 

[Keia]

Brandon Laine (Phoenix) 4/4 0/S 0/L Armor +8

Phoenix:

“You didn’t get to choose? I thought you supers got all the perks.” Ed says over his shoulder. “Do you know what the deal is with ridiculously good looking women and super-powers? Every chick I met on your squad is sweet!”

"Not looking for perks, Sgt Brano," Brandon commented. "I've worked for everything I've had so far, and I plan on working to deserve all of this. As for the girls, yeah, I have to admit, there are some definite lookers. Is that true for the female villians as well? I wonder. Take care, sergeant, I'll catch you later."

Brandon small talked as he dried off as best he could and got out of the locker room. Once out he sat down for a few minutes in the central area, putting on shoes and the like, seeing if anyone was still around.

Chris walks over to Steve and Mason. "If you'll pardon the cliche, better luck next time, guys. Though I have to admit, I didn't actually think it'd be as close as it was. Guess you showed me a thing or two." He's got his usual grin as his face as he speaks. Chris's tone is sincere and friendly, though he's obviously pleased at having won and toning the resultant satisfaction down as best he can. Continuing the light-hearted banter, he leads the way over to the food, giving a friendly flick of the fingers as acknowledgment to any soldiers in the room who may have noticed their arrival. As the group reaches the serving table and begin looking around for food, he says with a studiously straight face; "Well, since we won, I guess me and Kevin get first crack at all the food, right?"

”Everything we do has a reason. Why do you think the Guardians were put into this scenario?”

Linda salutes with as much motivation as she can muster given her current emotional drain before taking a seat.

"Frankenstein," she says with a bit of a sigh. "You wanted to give everyone a little taste of what a good chunk of his little army is made up of. That way when you tell the rest of 'em about the psycho, they already know they can handle his little toys and might not quit on the spot when you show 'em the pics and holovids of his exploits," Linda says somewhat flatly.

"Or you just like blowin' folks up. Maybe you just like the outfits," she adds, trying to gain her humor again, but just ending up with another sigh. "Sure woulda liked a little session to get to know folks powers first though."

 

[Super Girl]

Lucy nods at Walker's explination, she hadn't thought that there was going to be much around the base to do. At least she wasn't like confined to base or anything, "My hover should help out getting around, so it shouldn't be too bad, but maybe I should just buy a house a little off the base to have parties at or something," the Starlet says, thinking out loud, before just shrugging. It wasn't like she was gonna put up with living in such a small place like the army assigned place.

"And here I thought you boys were all suppoused to be gentlemen with dazzling uniforms and perfect manners." Lucy says, pouting cutely.

Phoenix:
Walking out of the locker room you wander the building eventually ending up in the cafeteria. As you step in, you see Lightspeed, Carbon, Banjax, and Leprechaun intently kicking the crap out of each other in the newest addition to the ‘Soul Caliber’ series.

Lightspeed, Carbon:
“What food, speedy?”

As you look over at the buffet line you do notice the complete lack of food in both the salad bar and the serving line. There is also, 0 people to serve the non-existent food. Steve does manage to find a Playstation 10 attached to a fairly big TV with an assortment of games.

”Kick your butt, boy! Steve announces to the assembled group. You spend 20 minutes playing video games when Brandon strolls in the door looking all silvery in his armor. You begin to sweat.

Longhorn:
”Trempon was not a first concern. We have all of your statistics already, including the strength of your powers. I wanted to know if you all could react to danger or if you just stood there frozen in fear. We can’t test that with a scanner. I would have immediately thrown any one off who stood there helpless.

Major Caldwell gives you a look that sends a little bit of a shudder through you.

”You’re the only one with military training in the group 2nd Lt. You’re temporarily in charge. Dismissed.”

Karma:
Walker gives the girls a winning smile “Well, your mostly right, Bigfoot over there isn’t actually a boy.”

You see Bigfoot get very red in the face and take two lumbering steps forward about to put his fist straight through Walker when his cronies grab him and pull him back.

“He won’t be pretty much longer, good lookin, then you’ll find a real man.”

Walker just smirks and offers his arm to you Lucy. You defiantly seem Sandra pout that you could first dips but then she finds herself another guy to flirt outrageously with.

 

[Calinon]

”You’re the only one with military training in the group 2nd Lt. You’re temporarily in charge. Dismissed.”

Linda raises an eyebrow, not believing for a second her 'being in charge' would do anything with the non-military group.

"Your test may have a little flaw, sir," she says matter of factly, rising to her feet. "Everyone knew going in it was a simulation. There was nothing to lose; no reason really to get scared. Not that I suggest throwing grenades at them for real," she says with a hint of a grin pulling at her mouth. "Though that certainly would spice up a barbeque. Sir. Sir," she says, saluting both men and turning to head out.

OOC: If she doesn't get stopped, she'll head back to the locker room and hope she doesn't get blasted again.

Pic-i-nic Basket, Boo Boo!

Time Passes.

Slowly the group gathers in the open air quad in the middle of Guardian’s Headquarters. Two blazing grills are attended by civilians in tall chef hats and aprons. Picnic tables are set up in a oblong circle.

Steve and Mason seem to be engaging in some argument involving Fat Italian plumbers over their cheese burger and hot dogs. Lindsey sits by smiling about the argument.

Only the Guardians are there at the moment. Well, almost all of the guardians, Travis is no where to be seen.
