Skylark's eyes widen at the arrival of Hope. She swears profusely, and instead of lifting Apollo and Star out of the water, will use extra effort to extend her force field to cover Hope and whoever she pulls out of the water.

Hope assesses the situation, considering her decision to lift them out. It would be a huge waste of effort. "Change of plans, Skylark, I thought I could lift them out, but it looks like you'll have a better chance of getting them both out then me, I'll cover you if you could lift them out."

Amazing. I think this is the first time that Hope didn't think she was the best person for a job. I wonder what sort of mystical intervention caused the change of heart?
(OOC: If Jemal isn't around to post an action, I say that Optic should duck behind cover and scan the area with his [Distracting] X-Ray Vision), looking for signs of, say, Murder Mouse or other supervillains)
ooc:
Chalk it up to counciling and stragetic use of theraputic drugs. I figure that alot of her problems before were due to trauma and PTSD. She's getting better. I think she'll slowly become the person she was before that incident with Faust and his lil coven or maybe even better.

"Roger that, Hope. Two vicious blighters in the water, and there may be a sniper, so visual cover would be ducky. I can see through fog and dust and such using gravity waves." (And Skylark will go with her original plan, lifting Apollo and Star out of the water with Gravity Control. Assuming she can do that with a standard action, she will use her move action to drag their weightless selves to safe cover.)
"I wonder how well they can swim in a box of air?" Hope cracks. "Alright, get Star and Apollo out and I'll trap the fins and or take a crack at the sniper, whichever one I can find first. Oh, I can see through that mess using the air currents, fun huh?" she said, making sure that Skylark was appropriatly covered.
ooc:
Foresight to determin what might happen.

Optic sends this information. This will come in handy quite soon. Meanwhile, he analyzes the spores while waiting for Wren to teleport him. He tells the group "These spores are from a Animus Serpent, a Queen. Aminus Serpents are small parasites that live in the human brain and feed off certain chemicals and brain matter that lead people to unreasoned hostility and violence, and telepathically suggest they act on these things. The queens reproduce by producing spores that enter people's minds and grow...this is just the first step. Eventually these things will take over their victims...and they can spread the infection through bodily fluids...and if two of them produce a child, that child will be a queen. The bad guys could have harvested spores for this, and may have a queen on their side. She'll be humanoid, but appearance and powers vary widely since they are all hybridized with their hosts' DNA. By the way, Devil Ray is Crime League...where there is one, there may be more..."
Hope tries to cover Skylark as best she can, blowing water and dirt around, but she cannot fire her lightning while Star and Apollo are in the water, and she also can't suck the bad guys into the air...there is too much water in the way.
Meanwhile, Wren teleports Optic and Nitro to the boardwalk.
Suddenly, a blue, humanoid creature of pure energy phases through the the floor right behind Nitro. It's Hiroshima Shadow. "YOU THINK YOU COULD KILL ME!!!," he roars, and strikes Nitro, sending him flying into the status of Adam and shattering it at its center point. Water spurts in all directions (injury, bruise, stunned, energy damage)
.
Optic's suit catches a high-caliber bullet, knocking him back a step. Even he can't figure out where it came from. (injury/buise). He gets charged by a few Skinheads, but their bats do nothing to him He hopes the one spraying spores hasn't infected him. One of them sprays him with a MAC-10, and a bullet gets through his suit (injury/bruise).
It looks like some guys from the Paradise hotel are fighting back. A number of armed men, a mix of security guards with tasers and pistols and some better-armed mobsters (including a few with energy weapons), take up defensive positions using pillars and other scenery, and take down a few of the skinheads.
Devil Ray shoots at Skylark, but misses without Hope needing to deflect it with her winds.
Skylark does manage to lift Star and Apollo, as well as enough water to to display a whale. The altered gravity allows Star and Apollo to float to the top. Apollo manages to shake off the effects of the electricity. (Ya know, Hope can heal Star...)
The shark does another jump, this time at Hope, but misses.
Next to Wren, a car suddenly explodes. He manages to react rapidly, summoning an energy bubble to entirely contain the blast and save many civilians (rolled a 20 on his save)
From one of the villain vans, a bearded man, wearing silver gauntlets and a black suit with a purple star in the center, and glowing with purplish-black light, floats over to Wren. "hard light constructs. Interesting. I thought I had the monopoly on that power now that Star knight is out of the way. I guess I'll have to rectify that." He fires a blast of black light, but it misses Wren.
Hope and Skylark are also approached by a new villain. He floats in the air and wears a red and yellow robe. Lightning crackles from his fingertips. He fires a blast at Skylark, and is not made to miss by Hope's windy smoke screen. Skylark is hurt (bruised), but not that badly.
Optic shouts "I'm not so sure this IS Barrington...this is just about the whole damn Crime League, though...Devil Ray, Dr. Stratos, Black Star, Hiroshima Shadow...and maybe others...!
"Skylark, my powers are pretty worthless against this guy. If one of you could take him on, I'll deal with devil ray."
ooc:
I'm not sure, unless she power stunts it. I took out the healing and put in foresight instead. I don't see a problem though with Hope making that effort.
I was thinking of her taking out the shark and devil ray, because Stratos' is fairly immune to Hope's powers and attacks.

Wren - 2HP left Toughness +14, Fort +11< Refl +9, Will +14
"Everyone keep each other covered and don't work alone! Let's work together this time...Trust me..."
Thinking quickly, and knowing that they each had their hands full, Wren decides to give his allies a little bit of help.
"...and through all things, there is the power of life... power of light... and the power to live...take these as gifts... do not take them for granted..."
With but the quick thought and few words, Wren bestows the power of his own innate powers onto each of his allies that would make need of it.
[sblock=Inspire]Ok, Wren will use his full round action to grant 4 of you with the +4 bonus to all attack rolls, saving throws, and checks for the NEXT round. Make sure they count, as this allows those 4 to bring these rolls ABOVE the PL limit. Only 1 round, so make them count, please.
The power will go to the ones that would best make use of it. With only being able to choose 4 people, so OOC thread has the offer. Once I get an idea of who would use it, then I will add those names here... [/sblock]
