Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread III

[Hammerhead]

"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, the man in the suit says, holding up his hands apologetically. "My name is Errant, and it's a pleasure to meet you all." With a smile, he walks over to shake hands with each member in introduction.

"I work for the Trust in Chi Directorate. Intelligence," he adds in explanation. "I don't think you guys will have to worry about Ares, at least for tonight. Thank God. Although hell, you did take down half the damn Crime League."

 

[Victim]

Star makes no move to rise, and keeps her hands on the bed. "Chi is intelligence?" she asks, her head whipping back between Skylark and the new guy. I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention when she was introduced, but I thought she was chi division too. She's a spy?

"What happened to Ares?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, the man in the suit says, holding up his hands apologetically. "My name is Errant, and it's a pleasure to meet you all." With a smile, he walks over to shake hands with each member in introduction.

"My pleasure, Errant" Nitro shakes his hand warmly. "I always like working with people who specialize in intelligence."

"I don't think you guys will have to worry about Ares, at least for tonight. Thank God. Although hell, you did take down half the damn Crime League."

Nitro agrees, "Wasn't that something? You probably haven't heard the story of how I 'Nitropedoed' Devil Ray back there. Now that's a story worth telling..."

 

[kirinke]

"Nice to meet you Errant. Name's Hope Winters, codename is Saint." she smiled a little.

 

[Hammerhead]

"There was a self-destruct at Freedom Hall that activated when Ares was poking around in there," Errant explains. He holds up his hand, then tightly compresses it as he makes a small sound effect for an explosion."Some kind of singularity bomb."

"No, I just heard about the overall result. Just what is a Nitropedo?" he asks with a smile. "One of your signature moves, or something you came up with just for the occasion? I hope you taunted him as you delivered it."

"Saint? Some kind of Catholic thing? Or did you just pick your name semi-randomly, like I did? So you're THE Hope Winters, huh? Formerly of the FBI? I heard that you just might be the best investigator there," Errant compliments her.

"Thanks and no, the codename is actually a misnomer. After my partner was murdered by Faust and his cronies, I went off the deep end, assumed an alternate identity and hunted the SOBs down." there was deep regret there in her voice. "I got the nickname by tracking one of his playments right to the gates of hell." she smiled a little, but there was no warmth or humour in it. "And impaling him on the spikes. The full code name is the Hellborn Saint. I shortened it to Saint."

"It wasn't right, I nearly went over to pure villiany. A good friend dragged me back from that brink. I kept the name to remind me of what nearly happened and what could happen, if I let my rage get out of control again." she said baldly.

"It took nearly skewering Wren to realize how out of control I had gotten. I'm in therapy now and am getting better, but. It's going to be a long road before I'm back to my old self." she said honestly.

"You'll have to get used to the occasionally crazy stuff Hope says. I'm pretty sure the Gates of Hell don't have spikes" Nitro announces. "Wasn't Hell an extradimensional prison, meaning that the gates are the dimensional boundary. Who ever heard of an extradimensional boundary that's a spiked gate?"

"It took nearly skewering Wren to realize how out of control I had gotten. I'm in therapy now and am getting better, but. It's going to be a long road before I'm back to my old self." she said honestly.

The craziness dodge! Where have I heard this before? Oh wait...

"No, I just heard about the overall result. Just what is a Nitropedo?" he asks with a smile. "One of your signature moves, or something you came up with just for the occasion? I hope you taunted him as you delivered it."

Nitro describes how he had to rescue Nereid from Devil Ray and swam through the water like a superpowered Michael Phelps before delivering a mighty kick that knocked the villain out. "I couldn't really taunt him, though. That's hard to do while you're swimming at full speed. I guess I can work on that for next time."

Hope grins at Nitro. "Hell depends greatly on your point of view. To me, the barrier looked like a gate. To someone else, it could be an energy field or a wall of darkness or a maze. It's mostly an illusion or self-deception though." she chuckled darkly. "I guess that's one of the reasons why there are so many different descriptions of the place." she shrugged. "You'd have to see it to understand." she smiled at the wrestler. "Been thinking about it alot recently."

"And trust me, you definatly don't want to go there. It makes Buckner's look like a vacation paradise by comparison. And that's just the outside facade," she quipped.

 

[G. Skylark]

"Skylark. It's a pleasure." She shakes Errant's hand. She hopes that they hadn't actually met before; she is rather bad with names, and might be embarrassing herself now.

"Singularity bomb, eh? I 'ave me doubts about the efficacy of those. Well, I 'ope yer right that Ares and 'is mates got flattened."

"The first rule I ever learned when dealing with supervillians is they aren't dead until you see the body and cremate the remains yourself. Even then, it isn't a sure bet." Hope said. shaking her head doubtfully. "At least, we won't have to worry about him for awhile at any rate."
