Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

Jack nods and shakes Wren's hand "I've always been more of a hockey fan, but baseball works. I haven't been to a ball game in a long time. So whadaya say, everyone?" Jack grins at the rest of them. "OH, and Wren, when we're off the clock, please call me Jack."

Hope brightens as Optic comes in, she had missed the guy, one of the few in the group that gave her an even break, the other being Viridian and Wren, she thought with some guilt. I have to do better, I can't.... she shoved that away.

"Haven't caught a good game in a while either." Hope remarks. "Sounds fine to me," she says with a grin. "Glad you're back,"

Hope inwardly winces though, it had been some time since she had last communicated with her rather more then less supernatural 'guides', perhaps after the game and team-cohesion work, she could contact them. Those guides had been with her since childhood, teaching her what Alex and her own mentor could not, how to fine-tune her control over the weather. Perhaps she could ask them to help her with this new facet of her power, the rage that seemed to follow her when she used her more violent powers.

Though still smiling outwardly, a new realization came to her. If the greek-gods were simply aliens in disguise, what of her guides? Could they be aliens as well? She filed that suspicion away for a later time.

ooc:
Forgot her mentor's name... Eep!

Oh. Megan freezes momentarily as Apollo leans in - This is my first kiss, let's not screw it up. - then kisses back. By way of reply, she'll kiss him herself, pushing against him with a touch of flight vector.

Jack nods and shakes Wren's hand "I've always been more of a hockey fan, but baseball works. I haven't been to a ball game in a long time. So whadaya say, everyone?" Jack grins at the rest of them.

"Hey Jack. Good to see you, compadre." Seems he's still got the knack for dodging cars and the like. Glad he didn't hold the almost running him over part against me.


"Now that you mention it, I think the [Freedom City] Comets are playing their rival, the [formerly of Freedom City now out of state] Flags tonight. I should be able to score some tickets."

Nitro gets on the phone with his agent and tries to get some tickets through his management agency. Shortly thereafter, his agent calls him back. The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson) is scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Nitro quickly dials the man, the myth, the legendary Rock himself. "Hey Dwayne" he casually intones. A few minutes later, the heroes have an invitation to The Rock's box next to the Freedom City dugout and Nitro has been invited to do a 'tag-team first pitch' with The Rock. Nitro gets off the phone, beaming like no other, and explains their good fortune to the other heroes. Not only are they sitting with him, but The Rock is cooking!

Apollo cracks a smile when it is all said and done, "Well now that we got that out of the way, should I tell my chef to make breakfast for two in the morning?"

 

[Raylis]

"Good to see you're in one piece, Jack."

OOC: okay Elric fess up, how long have you been waiting to use that one?

Nitro requisitions a grav-bike, then orders up a comet-like platform from the baseball team to put on top of it. He’ll send out a text message to the not-present superheroes in case any of them want to reconsider their aversion to public events—this is The Rock, after all.

Flash forward to the baseball game

At the game, Nitro runs in through centerfield carrying the comet with the Rock on it, holds it over his head with one hand while mugging for the crowd with the other, then pitches the comet all the way to the mound. Right before it hits the Rock throws the ceremonial first pitch off the platform. Optic who is sitting in the stands controls the grav-bike so that the Rock slows down as he approaches the mound and doesn’t crash. Just in case, some truly terrible result occurs, Wren is supposed to create a softer object for The Rock to smash into than the ground.

Apollo cracks a smile when it is all said and done, "Well now that we got that out of the way, should I tell my chef to make breakfast for two in the morning?"

"Why?" she whispers. "It's not like we ate the last meal. Besides,." And it would be sort of weird to have some stranger in here.

"Gotta love team work." Optic grins as he remotes the grav bike. This was certainly one of the comet's cooler first pitches, and he was proud to be a part of it, even if only behind the scenes. When the Rock and Nitro finally make it up to where he and the others are, he extends a hand "Mr Jonhson, Jack Carson. We've never actually met, but we've done business.. or I suppose more accurately, my people have done business with your people, and I've always been a fan. When Johnny here told us we were watching the game with you, I knew I had to say hi." Jack grins and nods to Nitro.

As they move on to watching the game, he can't help but glance at Hope every once in a while.. there was something wrong with her, but in front of all these people was probably not the best time to get into whatever was bothering her.

[sblock=ooc]
Sense motive + 16, if yer wondering how he knew something was up.

Also, I pondered using my status, connected, and contacts traits as an excuse to know the Rock as well, simply b/c that'd be hella cool, but I figured this is Nitro's show, why steal the thunder, eh?

"Guys!" Thessaly exclaims, bursting into the common room. "I know where...guys?"

She looks around, then checks her watch. On sudden suspicion she looks at her cellphone and sees the message on it. She'd turned it off during the scry and forgotten to turn it back on. With a few keypresses, she's listening to it. Irrationally, she feels her heart sink.

"You did this to yourself you know..." the young witch sighs to herself. "You knew they were planning something, but you had to run off. ... I need a cat or something."

Finally she goes to jot down the important information from the scrying, then goes to check out what the Trust has in the way of written materials...especially magical or historical in nature. It actually makes her snort with laughter to think that here she was, a superhero, but still spending lonely nights reading.
