Gemini
Gemini hardly hesitates. He'll take any deal to survive, at least until he can squirm, connive, blackmail, bribe, sabotage, sneak, kill, or power-steal his way out of it. Dr. Destruction may be a difficult one to break ties with, but he doesn't really have a choice right now.
"Aye, mate, save Mindjack. Will do."
As soon as the nullification devices are removed or ruined, Gemini looks about at the others falling....... Not enough time to 'jack Dr. Destruction's own power-armor before he's tumbling through the air. But hey, that lady just sprouted wings...... That'll do nicely.
Spreading arms and legs out to stabilize his descent for a moment, he focuses his eyes and mind on the winged beauty....... Subconsciously analyzing wing structure, muscle configuration, physiological anomalies, cellular composition, atomic elements, brainwave patterns, multidimensional aura wavelengths......
And finally, a pair of feathery wings burst out through the back of his shirt, spreading out to catch the wind and arrest his descent into a gentler glide.......right after the first, jarring lurch of the sudden decceleration, and the brief pain of his sudden body-reconfiguration. He almost pukes, but fortunately he hasn't eaten much today and manages to hold it down.
Flying isn't particularly new to him, but he's had few opportunities to duplicate it before, and not so often from winged capes. Still, he gets the hang of it again soon enough to at least try diving to catch Helis the Destroyer. Whether or not he has the strength or speed to catch the fellow and descend safely, however, wasn't clear yet.
Guy looks like he might be useful in a fight, moreso if he's indebted to me for saving his life, Gemini thinks.
"Thanks for the wings, by the way," he remarks to the winged woman before diving.
At least he felt tougher now and could fly. And some power-ring-doohickey had materialized on his finger in the process. Odd. He needed more practice copying magic artifacts and high-tech gizmos. The material duplication process seemed almost perfect in his mind's eye, but he felt something 'off' about the aura emulation. Not important right now, anyway.
[sblock=ooc]Gemini mimics Octavia's powers for now, duplicating all of them except for the Aging Immunity, the Ring's Penetrating extra, and 3 ranks of the Ring's Accurate PF; since he only mimics 4 ranks of the Device power right now, his copy of the Mental Blast AP is only 4 ranks due to its high cost. He uses the wings to start flying and slow his fall, then tries to catch Helis before it's too late. If he can't support Helis' weight and remain flying, then he'll release Helis.[/sblock]
