Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Victim]

"No, go ahead." Megan consents to be healed. I want it to stop hurting.

She gives a relaxed sigh as her injuries melt away under Wren's touch - and Reyes is helping too. That was amazing. "Thank you so much. Wren. And you too, but I don't think I caught your name." Even if your gadget make me itch. Feels like I'm forgeting something though - probably just names. Well, I'm still wiped out.

I'll bet you don't remember. Maybe next time I say something wrong I should pretend to forget it too.

Hope smiles a little at the prickly superheroine and leans back, still mostly exhausted, no amount of powered healing could cure that.

"Whoever got me out of there, thank you." she said, trying hard to figure out what happened, most of it's jumbled up with hallucinations and dreams. She had been arguing with her old partner Stephan. Robots and acid, fire. Molten metal pouring down like deadly rain she couldn't control.

But he's dead. she thought.

The echoes of the past don't stay silent because you want them too.

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian sits wearily down.

"We got in over our heads," she says quietly, "You guys...and whoever that other one was...you guys saved our lives. 'Thanks' feels pretty small right now, but you've got it."

She looks at Optic. "Did we get what we came for?"

She looks at Optic. "Did we get what we came for?"

Hope nodded in agreement. "We'd be dead now if it were't for you," she said quietly. "Thanks for my life, our lives I should say." she added, almost formally, acknowledging a life-debt from a mage was a serious thing, a serious thing indeed. Her gaze caught the others and it was clear, she included them all in that debt, one she was determined to pay in full.

"No thanks needed. You would have done the same."

Wren turns to agree with the pilot, as he says, "We should get out of here, before the explosion prevents us from doing so..."

Wren finishes up his healing, turning to grounds that were the recent battlefield. There was smoke, debris, and general chaos everywhere. If this was a sign of things to come, then they had better be prepared to adhere to drastic measures, if need be.

Looks like this could have gone either way. I don't know if I made it in time, or not, but either way, we're alive, for now. The new lady seems like a rogue agent, vengeance surely pushing her towards drastic measures as well. I'm sure I'll see her soon, if my guy feeling is right...

Wren will also expend another Hero point if anyone needs to overcome some other condition, like fatigue or exhaustion. Might as well make sure everyone is ready to go, should something new come up unexpectedly. (Need to know everyone's status, as in, is everyone ready to go again, or is anyone exhausted, fatigued, etc.. I am also assuming that with +10 Recovery Check mod, and 2 bruises, he should now be fine, or does he still have two bruises?)

 

[kirinke]

Hope grinned at the superhero as the particular cosmic energy he used washed away the fatigue and magical drain, she felt better than she had in a good long while....
Ever since....
She pushed that thought away.

"That's some healing power you have there. Thank you again doesn't even come close to what you've done for us," she said.

"Name's Hope Winters. I'm what you'd call a stratomancer, a mage that deals primarily with weather and weather related magicks." she nodded at the other masked and caped supers and people on the plane. "I work for AEGIS primarily, though right now I'm working with the Trust off the books as it were." she raked back her sweat soaked, blood-flecked hair, grimancing at the feel of it, but grateful to be alive and in one peice more or less.

"If we do more of this, I think I should probably consider investing in a mask and alternate identity other than the Saint." she said thoughtfully. "My employers sort of frown on trashing private property in other countries."

ooc
I know we were all disguised, but it probably is wise for Hope to consider adopting an alter ego as it were.....

Oh, if you want italics, use at the first of the block and [\i] at the end....

 

[Victim]

"Yeah, I thought we just about had things under control, and then all their people just unloaded on us. We were really in a lot of trouble; thanks. Maybe we should have done something to their people right away, but I didn't think they'd fight us instead of just leaving." If lashing out at whatever is hurting me counts as in control, anyway. And I shouldn't hurt normal people with my power. But dang, that went to hell in a hurry.

"I don't think that it will be like an A-bomb explosion. The coolant system might explode though. Not that we should take chances; let's go."

If Hope felt it too, then I guess it doesn't mean anything special. Too bad. And I really hope her superiors bust her ass for this. B!tch.


-------------------------------------

Shooting Star is Exhausted and has 1 HP remaining. I'm okay with her needing to rest after that fight however.

 

[DM_Matt]

The mystery super drops over the cliff. Once she is out of sight, Nightweaver is able to show the others the lock of hair she stole while the one hope seems to have dubbed Solaris was materializing. Everyone gets to the plane, and the hatch closes. The plane rises vertically, its downward-facing gravity drives activating before the horizontal ones on the back kick in. Out the window, you notice the mystery super flying away from the scene attached to the bottom of a wedge-shaped glider with some sort of exotic propulsion system, although she does not appear on radar.

"Buckle up and brace yourselves for acceleration!," Dantoni says. He pushes the horizontal gravity drives to maximum power, which they cannot sustain for long. The plane reaches the necessary speed, and the scramjets kick in with a jolt, bringing the aircraft past Mach 12, though it does not feel all that fast. "We've committed to going at this speed for several minutes until the gravity drives cool down."

Jacobson, after a few minutes in the air, says "I'm detecting a massive explosion underground at the Foundry facility. She may have placed a bomb as well to destroy the reactor's containment. It seems that the facility collapsed, and most of the radiation is trapped underground, but there are plenty of outlets especially in the steam and smoke. She was right about one thing. No one will be able to hide this. I'm also getting some information that a number of news outlets were sent a dossier detailing the contacts between a number of high-ranking Swiss officials and the Foundry and how this facility managed to operate without the official knowledge of the authorities. they've got pictures, taped phone conversations, everything..."

Meanwhile, the Gray Gunner wakes up.

 

[Elric]

Nitro goes and makes sure Gunner is safely restrained. "Well, if it isn't glass-ball Joe again. Too bad you only talk a good game."

 

[Victim]

Mach 12?! Stupid thing is faster than me. And with gravity drives, it's manueverability is probably pretty good too. The 'ordinary' soldiers didn't get badly wounded either. I was wrong about the explosion too.

"That used to be a beautiful place. After the radiation damage and the containment/cleanup effort..."

She turns to the stirring Grey Gunner, "Don't try anything."
