Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

Amanda looks at Viridian, "At least your broke his choking spell on me...I owe for that one.

[...]It gives him a kind of vampiric ability to absorb the fortune and life force out of his enemy."[...] "The more powerful the person, the greater the life force. His victims were typically the young for their vitality and meta humans and supers for their strength of spirit."

"I'm not sure on the specifics, but at a guess, that's the reason why you're still feeling um tired and run down. He stole a bit of you[...]

. o O {Stole a bit of me? He stole what makes me, me!} She looks at Hope as the Aegis agent speaks "So how do we get it back? Force him to reverse what he did, kill him?" . o O {Not like I could do that...}

"Killing him might be a bit more difficult than you think. I took an assault rifle and nearly cut him in half with it and then brought an entire building down on him. He survived that," she said flatly, coldly. You can well believe that she earned her reputation as the Hellborn Saint and you have no doubt she is telling the absolute truth.

She shook her head, expression clearing as she pushed the memories of that terrible case back into a mental box with a tight lid. She could never forget, but she could bury it for a time.

"As to the other, I'm no expert as I said. The Trust might have more answers than I. On the bright side, since you survived what he did to you, you'll eventually recover from it." she said as if she too had been on the recieving end of his spells at some point or another.

Which was true.

Both Optic and Nightweaver looked like hell and Shooting Star wasn't too far behind.

Nitro, though, looked great as usual. But according to reports, so did Faust. Nitro might have to come up with a different taunt this time. Thinking about another taunt to use was hard work... at least it was for Nitro.
 

Ms. White says "Actually, he took some of your soul ENERGY. Not your soul's "substance," I guess you'd call it. That energy can be replenished. Red is working on some injections right now. Similarly, he took some of Nightweaver's powers' energy, not the powers themselves. They should be back to normal in a few hours."
 

"Good to know," Hope nodded in understanding. "I might be able to let some of you come with me to question them, since you helped in the capture." she smiled lightly. "I never really studied charm based magicks, my talents have always run more to weather and nature related spells." she said offhandedly, although some of her abilities were innate rather than spell driven.

Ms White says "I'm sure that can be arranged. Perhaps at a minimum, Viridian and Nitro, to provide a (pauses) diverse set or interrogation skills?"

Mr Black says "You guys should get going on whatever aspect of the Barrington etc situation. I will accompany Theta Team and take care of the Tiger myself"

Mr Black gets a text and says "Alright, they're ready for me. I'll see ya when I see ya. Good luck." He walks away, half-singing, half-humming Beatles lyrics under his breath "He goes out tiger hunting with his elephant guuuun..heeey, Bungalo Bill, what did ya kill..."
 

Vi nods at Ms. White's assessment. "That spell I used to make Blitz hide can pretty much command anyone to do anything. It's kind of souped-up hypnosis. It can be resisted, but it's not easy. I just have to try to phrase it so it gets past their mental defenses. Still, it's great for interrogating. I can also do pretty convincing glamours..."

"Why do metas have more spirit or whatever?" Shooting Star asks. Apparently, I don't have that ability either.

"You said you hit Blitz with a mind spell? While you can't track him down normally since we don't have something of his, maybe there's some psychic residue from your power that you could find. Even if it wore off quickly, it might at least give us the direction he went off in."

"I know investigation is important, but it seems weird that most of us should be involved. Not many of us are trained investigators and often powers don't help much. I'm probably less competent in that area than a normal police officer. Is there a need for superheroes to duplicate conventional investigation resources instead of just working with them?"

"Under normal circumstances, you would be right Shooting Star. But these are far from normal circumstances. We have a meglomaniac supervillian bent on world domination in control of some potentially very dangerous weapons up in the Lighthouse, not to mention the Foundry building god knows what for him, if my hunch is correct. The we have Wolfson, Shepard and Doe in the mix, which is never good. And that's just the tip of the ice berg. I'm going to take whatever help I can get in order to stop him, even if it is unconvential help." she said quietly, firmly. "Do you want to come?" she asked Viridian and Nitro.
