Mutants and Masterminds: Freedom City

Velocity

Using your super-speed you move by, and sometimes through obstacles, reaching the woman you see the fear in her eyes and she is quite hysterical. Seeing a masked man appear out of nowhere some of the patrons move away from you. But you notice another person approach, the large man with animalistic features. When the woman sees him she faints from the stress, using your speed you easily catch her before she hits the floor.

____________________________

Tauro

Using your size and strength you move through the crowd towards the woman. Before you can reach her a man with a mask moving so fast he seems to appear out of nowhere reaches her first. As you approach the woman sees you and faints, the masked man catches her with ease before she hits the floor.

Hell

Before you can reach the woman you see a man in a mask moving so fast he seems to appear out of nowhere. As the patrons move away from the masked man another larger man with animalistic features approaches. When the woman sees him she faints, the masked man moving so fast easily catches her before she hits the floor. Looking past this group you see a man in a costume slip into the hallway heading towards the restrooms.

Cosmo

As you make your way towards the hall leading to the restrooms you see a masked man moving so fast that he seems to appear from out of nowhere stop by the hysterical woman. You move past them and look around the corner towards the restrooms but you see no one in the hall. You look back for a moment and see a large man with animalistic features approach the woman, when she sees him she faints. The masked man moving quickly catches her before she hits the floor. Seeing these two strange men makes you hesitate for a moment, as you decide what to do nest another costumed man slips by you almost unnoticed and heads down the hall towards the restroom.

Leech

Moving towards the hall leading to the restrooms you stop under the stairs leading to the balcony long enough to release your host. You then notice Velocity arrive by the woman and then the large man with animalistic features arrives. When the woman sees the large man see faints, Velocity moves to catch her before she hits the floor. When he is distracted you move by a few patrons by the entrance to the hallway and head for the restrooms. When you arrive at the ladies restroom you open the door and see a woman dressed in a revealing black dress lying on the floor and another woman standing next to the window. The woman at the window appears transparent with wisps coming from her like smoke.

Warlock

Moving to your crystal ball you concentrate, the woman then appears in the ball. You see the fear in her eyes and she appears to be quite hysterical. A man with a mask appears at her side followed shortly by Tauro. When she sees Tauro the woman faints, the masked man moving with inhuman speed easily catches her before she hits the floor. Moving your sight to the ladies restroom you see a woman wearing a revealing black dress laying on the floor, her long black wig skewed revealing her natural blond hair underneath. Another woman kneeling next to her stands and moves towards the window. She then becomes transparent with wisps coming off her like smoke. A shiver goes up your spine as you realize she just turn into a gaseous form, an ability of vampires. Just then the door to the ladies room opens, a man in a costume stand in the doorway.

Making his way past Velocity and the fallen woman, he sees the beast man. 'Well, no wonder she screamed. Geez, I hope Jack can take care of this. I have a funny feeling that the real culprit is still in that bathroom.' Continuing on towards the bathroom, he recounts what he saw when he was outside looking into the women's bathroom, trying to remember faces. Upon opening the ladies restroom door, he looks at the woman on the ground and then his gaze falls on the ghostly figure near the window. Trying to remember if he saw her in the restroom when he was outside, he speaks up. "So, lemme me guess. You're a vampire, or at least you THINK you're a vampire. Tell me something, why don't you all like drink your blood from a cow or something? I mean, why do you have to prey on humans? It's really not quite fair." That being said, Leech will prepare himself for her reaction.
 

Odd, the apparel in this establishment just gets stranger by the moment, thought Cosmo as he witnessed the various costumed people go whizzing by. Seeing others enter the bathroom, Cosmo figured out that this is acceptable behavior in this type of place and enters the women's bathroom.

"Cathy?" he calls out, a great deal of concern in his voice.

OOC: If Cosmos spies the body on the floor, he will first invoke his forcefield, then see to her, healing her if necessary.

Tauro looks around, startled somewhat by the quick movement of the masked man. Somewhat chagrined at the woman's fainting at the sight of him, he sighs and pushes on to the restroom just in time to see several other people enter in front of him. "Alright people, clear out. Clear out! Mr. Masters don't want no trouble in his club," he says as he pushes past them into the ladies' room. Noticing the unconscious woman on the floor and the translucent one by the window, he blinks and shouts, "Hey!! What's going on in here?"

Hell!

Seeing his intended course of action get trumped by this odd group of strangers, James heads down the hall after the beistial looking fella, disguising his face as he goes.
 

Merrick lets out a quiet groan "More Vampires! One incident was good for business Two can only mean trouble." Merrick dismisses the image from the crystal ball and turns the leave his office. The door opens with out a touch. "And now I got more would-be-heroes sticking their nose in as well." Merrick continues down onto the dance floor calming his customers as he goes. "Tauro, keep those people out of the bathroom." Merrick appoaches the bar to whisper instruction to the Bartender. "William call 911 get some officers here and some paramedics we have an injured women in the restroom.". Merrick then moves towards the stage stopping the band and taking the microphone. ""Ladies and Gentlemen I must ask you to stay calm, the police will be here in a moment, You are in no danger. If you wish to leave please do so in an orderly manner, However we will remain open and resolve this situation quickly. Enjoy your evening. Thank you." Merrick get the band started back up before approaching the restrooms.
 

"You've got a way with the ladies," Jack says wryly as Tauro passes him and enters the restroom. "Now what am I going to do with her?" Jack wonders to himself.

Jack picks up the woman and carries her to the bartender that served him the beer earlier. "Seems she has fainted," he says to the man. "Keep an eye on her."

After speaking with the bartender, Jack again uses his superspeed and moves back to the restrooms, passing through the wall to enter.
 

In the restroom

Leech enters the ladies restroom first.

"So, lemme guess. You're a vampire, or at least you THINK you're a vampire. Tell me something, why don't you all like drinking your blood from a cow or something? I mean, why do you have to prey on humans? It's really not quite fair."

Seeing the costumed youth the transparent woman smiles and Leech sees blood on her lips and teeth. For a moment she looks as if she would approach Leech but the voices of others coming down the hall stops her.


Says Cosmo as he enters the room, seeing the woman on the floor he moves to her side.

"Alright people, clear out. Clear out! Mr. Masters don't want no trouble in his club. Hey!! What's going on in here?"

Says Tauro as he follows the first person in. And he is followed quickly by Hell who is also wearing a mask.

Seeing the others enter the room the transparent woman drifts though the window like smoke out into the alley.

Cosmo kneels down by the woman on the floor and sees that it is indeed Cathy. Quickly checking her over he sees puncture wounds on her neck but surprisingly there is very little blood at the wound. She feels cold to the touch and is very pale. Checking for a pulse he finds none, she appears to be dead.

Dance floor

After telling the bartender to call 911 Warlock moves to the stage to calm the patrons. Some of the patrons leave but most stay curious to know what happen. A few are talking loudly that this is just part of a show.

Velocity moves over to the bar and leaves the woman with the bartender then quickly moves to the restroom, a crowd is blocking the entrance to the hall so Velocity moves through the wall to reach the restroom. Upon entering the restroom Velocity sees Leech is one of the men standing in the room. Another man is kneeling down next to a woman lying on the floor looking very pale. They all have surprised looks on their faces (the other woman has already left through the window).

Warlock gets the band to start playing and moves towards the restroom, he is delayed slightly because of the crowd at the entrance to the hallway. Warlock clears the way and moves down the hall to the restroom.

___________________________

OOC: I didn’t go to combat rounds since each of you hesitated as you entered the restroom, the transparent woman was standing next to the window and it was easy for her to go through it. The restroom itself is about 20’ by 20’, the door has a wall in front of it so people in the hall cannot see in. As you move around the wall you enter the lounge area, there are mirrors on the wall above a counter and a couch in front of the back wall near the window. Around the corner is the opening leading to the stalls. The window is 2’ wide and 3’ tall and is open about 4”. It has brackets to prevent it from being open completely so no one can climb in from the alley. Everyone that came down the hallway knows there is an exit that leads out the back of the building. Those of you that went around the back of the building (Leech and Velocity and of course Warlock) know that from the exit door you just move around the corner into the alley.
 

Cosmo knelt next to the woman he barely knew, feeling emotions swell within him. This does not make sense, why do I feel this loss so strongly after such a brief time period, Cosmo thought then finished aloud, "Something must be done."

A deepening of Cosmo's voice occurred as he began to manifest his power. Pinpoints of light glowed in his eyes and his hands trembled slightly as they moved to Cathy's body. Cosmo felt the power flow through his body as he channeled healing energy into Cathy in hopes that she yet lived.

OOC: Cosmo activated his force field in the earlier post. He will use Healing (PL 10) with cosmic power on Cathy, attempting, possibly in vain, to revive the poor woman.
 

"Leech," Jack says upon spotting the youngster in the restroom, "I thought I told you to stay outside. What happened here?"

Assuming that Leech tells Jack what he saw, Jack will phase through the back wall to the outside of the building. He will look around the area for anyone or anything out of the ordinary.
