Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

"Is Grant Industries involved in any of this? That you know of, at least?"



Just because you're a witch and I'm a wrestler. And a famous and good-looking wrestler at that. Oh well, maybe she won't snap at you quite so quickly next time.

"Maybe. I know Asad works for him sometimes."

"Are we just portaling straight there? It might be nice to set things up on the periphery of the battleground before rushing in," Megan tries to plan for the rescue.



Then she talks with Sarah and Ben. "If you're interested in using your abilities to work against supervillains, we might be able to help set you up. If your information about your dad checks out. I wouldn't believe what she said either. The people after you probably want you alive so you can make stuff for them. That might not be much of an improvement though."

"They might want me to, but they have no reason to keep Sarah alive very long. They'll probably torture her to make me work faster. Meanwhile, he helps Sarah to sit up and lean against him. She remains cuffed, though he is not since he was already bound. That's the kind of people my dad sells my inventions to. As for your offer, we'll think about it...But I feel that I've inherited the obligation to personally end my father's evil. The teens look simultaneously resolute and scared.

Hope walks over and looks at them. "You said it yourself. You can't protect her, she can't protect you against these people. Wake up and smell the roses kids. You are in over your heads right now. We can help. Right now, a team is on its way to pick you up. Go with them, they will protect you." her expression softened a little at his resolution.

"Vengeance doesn't make things better Ben. I know. It's hollow and empty." she said, her voice tinged with grim knowledge. She had followed that path for a time, it gave her nothing back. Her friend and partner was still dead and Faust still breathed. Or whatever passed for breathing anyway in his soul dead body. The irony was biting.

"Good to hear that you aren't on his side then. As for your role in helping bring down your dad, I think there is an alternative. One that has you taking your dad down, and also to help you in your role to help others. Go with the team to our headquarters. You can speak with them there, tell them what you know, and they can build a case against your father; one that will stick. If you don't believe me, take a look at the last newscast. There are two supervillians that are now apprehended, and a mountain of evidence against them to bring them to justice."

"If you DO decide to help, and want to be more involved, then speaking with our 'higher-ups' might prove to get you started in the right direction. They have contacts, places, labs, everything to aid in those trying to make a difference. They can also protect and provide for protection, as you are surely going to need it. All I ask is that you go there, check it out. If it fits, then try it out. If not, then we can't restrain you. It's simply to protect you, and make sure that Sarah is protected as well."

Wren then moves towards Sarah, healing her as well, in good faith.

Turning back to the others, Wren agrees. "Taking the time to get a feel for the outer perimeter might not be a bad decision. In case we need to make a quick exit, as not all of us are privy to such mind boggling speeds of flight. Whatever we decide, I think it best that I stick by those that would be easier targets for the enemy. I have a knack for 'being in the right place at the right time' when it comes to protecting allies. (Deflect, Interpose - Reaction) Nitro can take the lead, as he's one tough powerhouse."

Wren then snaps his attention back to Sarah, as he looks at her perplexed. "Asad works for your father? You know, Asad blew up a compound recently, and kidnapped two scientists, one of which is Ben's father? How do we get to Asad? If you know, tell them at the base. It'll help out"

A large black van arrives with your usual group of soldiers (Jacboson, Dantoni, Carter, Reyes, and Harriman), dressed in street clothes: "What are your orders," Jacobson asks

 

[Victim]

"Hello," Shooting Star says to the arriving soldiers. You would take orders from me? That's really scary, considering how much I've screwed up my own life. "Thanks for the other day." They must be really brave to fight powered opponents without advanced armor or the like. Or crazy, but then it'd be hard to survive that without super armor or defensive powers.

"Could you take these two kids back to headquarters?" Hope asked. "They're in some pretty deep stuff and we think that the Labyrinth or Barrington might make a go at them." she grinned at the soldier. "They should probably also talk with Mr. Black or Ms. White, I think they have a story to tell."

"No problem. Any Time."

(They have better than power armor...they have names and are recurring characters, meaning heroic rules not minion rules...plus they are a full PL8)

"We've been ordered to use the hanger instead of the main base for more temporary interrogation and detention to limit exposure to those who we'd like the option to release back into the world. May we take them there instead?"

"Alright, that'll do until we can sort it out later. This one is empowered somehow and that one, is a bit of a genius, so don't let them manipulate you." she said pointing to Sam and Ben in turn. "I think they're relatively innocent in all this and are certainly in a deal of trouble." she turned to the kids.

"These guys are with us, they won't hurt you." She introduced the soldiers to the kids. "Tell them your story once they get you to the hanger."

ooc
I hope I'm playing 'the soft spot for kids' thing she has well enough.

"Fine. We'll go." Ben helps Sarah up and the soldiers load them into the van.
