The "World of Heroes" DC RPG Season IV

[wiegeabo]

Dick immediatley grew something he hadn't in quite some time: Angry.

"Yeah, criticising us for a job already done is going to do alot of good, Sinestro.", Nightwing responded, his anger apparent in his voice. "Not all of us have your goddamned resources. Some of us have a hard time doing some of your 'simple' tasks. So back the hell off.", He finished.

I ponder his words for a moment. In some respects, he is right. I do not banter during crisis. I do not banter outside of crisis. And this is one of the reasons. Why spend time jesting when one's concentration is needed for the task at hand.

But doing so with Jordan and Rayner felt...right? No, it felt good. Perhaps the humans are right about one thing afterall.

"I...", He blurted out, before sighing to himself. The situation with Bludhaven was pounding at him more and more by the moments. "I... Sorry. That was uncalled for.", He said, looking away from his teammates in shame.

He was already taking this way too seriously.

"Do not apologize. The task at hand was immense, and tensions were high. I was only trying to alleviate it, as you and your friends do. Perhaps I did it wrong."

~ 0, Chatter folk ain't they?~

"They're the best Saff." Dinah tilted her head as she heard Roy's voice singing the more than familier Disney song. She shook her head, remembering rainy days watching it.

"If only the Teen Titans back then knew.." she said a smile playing on her face.

~ Knew what?~

"Nothing..just a memory." Dinah said alighting down on the Water Plant and walking through the side door, she spied the Boys on the main platform and called across to them.

"I have to agree with Dick on the earplugs and remind me not to invite you to Karaoke night."

"...you used to sing 'Ooh de lay' too... why do you think I still remember it? We'd watch Robin Hood whenever it was on Disney, heck I still do. It's Lian's favorite. I'm her Robin Hood now."

Roy smiled slightly thinking of his daughter.

"Nothing..just a memory." Dinah said alighting down on the Water Plant and walking through the side door, she spied the boys on the main platform and was silent as Dick snapped back at Sinestro.

~Intense~

Dinah shook her head, normally she'd rake in to him but what right did she have? Everyone was entitled to a breakdown, some more wrongly than others. The memory of Harley Quinns blood on her hands coiled in her mind ready to spring. No, Dick was understandably stressed and to have a powered ex-villain belittle him like that was even more than a man like Dick could handle to some point.
She took a breathe and called across to them in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"I have to agree with Dick on the earplugs Roy, and remind me not to invite you to Karaoke night."

For the first time since she had saved him from The Trickster, Dick was glad to see Dinah again. He gave a gentle smile... a grateful one, as he responded.

"See! Even she knows you're not winning any American Idol tournaments anytime soon."

Nightwing sighed, turning to Roy. He felt bad. Particularly since... Sinestro had saved his life, less than an hour earlier.

"We've gotta teach this guy wisecracking 101, when all of this is over."

"See! Even she knows you're not winning any American Idol tournaments anytime soon."

"Pfft. Like I'd wanna. On the other hand with talent like this, I can put Justin Timberlake to shame... that and I'm hotter too.

Oh the world will sing of an English King
A thousand years from now
And not because he passed some laws
Or had that lofty brow
While bonny good King Richard leads
The great crusade he's on
We'll all have to slave away
For that good-for-nothin' John

Incredible as he is inept
Whenever the history books are kept
They'll call him the phony king of England
A pox on the phony king of England!

He sits alone on a giant throne
Pretendin' he's the king
A little tyke who's rather like
A puppet on a string
And he throws an angry tantrum
if he cannot have his way
And then he calls for Mum while he's suckin' his thumb
You see, he doesn't want to play

Too late to be known as John the First
He's sure to be known as John the worst
A pox on that phony king of England!

While he taxes us to pieces
And he robs us of our bread
King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down
Around that pointed head
Ah! But while there is a merry man
in Robin's wily pack
We'll find a way to make him pay
And steal our money back

The minute before he knows we're there
Ol' Rob'll snatch his underwear
The breezy and uneasy king of England
The snivellin' grovellin'
Measly weasely
Blabberin' jabberin'
Gibberin' jabberin'
Blunderin' plunderin'
Wheelin' dealin'
Prince John, that phony king of England
Yeah"

 

[twylight]

"...you used to sing 'Ooh de lay' too... why do you think I still remember it? We'd watch Robin Hood whenever it was on Disney, heck I still do. It's Lian's favorite. I'm her Robin Hood now."

Roy smiled slightly thinking of his daughter.

Dinah gave Roy a warm smile.

"Now you have an excuse to watch it."

"See! Even she knows you're not winning any American Idol tournaments anytime soon."

"He'd have to sink to Ollies level and depend on looks alone." She said winking at the three.

"Pfft. Like I'd wanna. On the other hand with talent like this, I can put Justin Timberlake to shame... that and I'm hotter too.

~ Faye...~

Dinah nodded and a stream of blue energy shot from the slender ring and across the platforms and pipes to settle tightly over Roy's mouth.

"I think that's all the evidence we need to convict you of crimes against music.
I came to see if you needed a lift back to our regrouping point. We can shoot spit balls at the GL's"

 

[Green Lantern]

Nightwing sighed, turning to Roy. He felt bad. Particularly since... Sinestro had saved his life, less than an hour earlier.

"We've gotta teach this guy wisecracking 101, when all of this is over."

"WE? You haven't even passed that class buddy. Batman could probably out wisecrack you."

Roy grinned at Dick.

 

[Franklin Richards]

"Pfft. Like I'd wanna. On the other hand with talent like this, I can put Justin Timberlake to shame... that and I'm hotter too.

Oh the world will sing of an English King

The great crusade ---

CLICK


That's is quite enough of that.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Nice work, Rook. Nice work, Sinestro. Looks like I'm buyin' the first round."

I know he doesn't like it when I call him that. But it sure is fun.

"ARRRGH! I SWEAR TO GOD, I'M GONNA KILL THOSE MIDGETS! THEN, I'M KICKING YOUR @$$!"

Kyle was joking, of course, but deep down he felt a small pain. He had carried on the legacy of the Corps, had brought the power back to Oa, and viewed Hal Jordan as a good friend now. To have the man he took over for know nothing of what had happened, to forget all that. Frankly, it sucked.

Yeah"

Dick stared at Roy, for a long moment, blankly. Slowly, he turned to Dinah, a disgusted look on his face from Roy's little show.

"Can we please get out of here before he attempts Broadway?"

 

[Green Lantern]

Dinah gave Roy a warm smile.

"Now you have an excuse to watch it."

"See! Even she knows you're not winning any American Idol tournaments anytime soon."

"He'd have to sink to Ollies level and depend on looks alone." She said winking at the three.

"I came to see if you needed a lift back to our regrouping point. We can shoot spit balls at the GL's"

Roy peeled off the blue energy and spit the bad taste out of his mouth. "Like you need a reason to watch Robin Hood... Its goddamn Robin Hood. No hero is cooler than Robin Hood.
And sure we could use a lift, and would the spitballs be yellow?"

 

[Batman]

"WE? You haven't even passed that class buddy. Batman could probably out wisecrack you."

Roy grinned at Dick.

Dick grinned back.

"You seem to forget a certain Donna slam, from earlier."

 

[Franklin Richards]

A certain tone entered Hal Jordan's voice. The same tone he had when a MiG would start to sputter.

"Ok crew. Let's get our game faces on. If everyone is through with the antidote, we need to rendezvous at Superman's last known location. I am sending this message out on all frequencies. League. Titans. Even local radio band. Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter if you can hear us we need you to acknowledge too. All heroes rally to New Mount Swan. The Man of Steel may need us. Green Lantern 2814.1 out."

 

[wiegeabo]

Nightwing sighed, turning to Roy. He felt bad. Particularly since... Sinestro had saved his life, less than an hour earlier.

"We've gotta teach this guy wisecracking 101, when all of this is over."

I begin flying back to the rendezvous point.

"I would appreciate that. Do you know anyone who may be qualified to teach it?"

That should be satisfactory.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

Nightwing sighed, turning to Roy. He felt bad. Particularly since... Sinestro had saved his life, less than an hour earlier.

"We've gotta teach this guy wisecracking 101, when all of this is over."

"You do that, and I'll test the first ever power ring catheter on you."

Kyle powered up and began towards Supes coordinates.

 

[Green Lantern]

I begin flying back to the rendezvous point.

"I would appreciate that. Do you know anyone who may be qualified to teach it?"

That should be satisfactory.

"Ollie and I could show you a thing or two, Pinky, but you're getting the right track with that jab. And judging from everyone's reactions, I guess theres a reason I'm just a drummer huh?"

 

[twylight]

Roy peeled off the blue energy and spit the bad taste out of his mouth. "Like you need a reason to watch Robin Hood... Its goddamn Robin Hood. No hero is cooler than Robin Hood.
And sure we could use a lift, and would the spitballs be yellow?"

"I should just dye my hair blonde again." She said lightly scooping them up on a platform and leaving the building taking to the air.

She turned as she flew so she was facing them, allowing Saff to guide her flight path.

"I think those arrows Sinestro gave you might work a bit better than simple spit balls." she said joining with the glowing Green Lanterns.

 

[Speedball]

Dick stared at Roy, for a long moment, blankly. Slowly, he turned to Dinah, a disgusted look on his face from Roy's little show.

"Can we please get out of here before he attempts Broadway?"

"Thank goodness he hasn't started to rap, or else I would have to use my patented "Shut-Roy-Up" Mouth Sealent. So where are we he-

-Ok crew. Let's get our game faces on. If everyone is through with the antidote, we need to rendezvous at Superman's last known location. I am sending this message out on all frequencies. League.

"New Mount Swan? What happened to the old one?"

Green Lantern 2814.1 out.-

"New Mount Swan? What happened to the old one?"

"It is the old one. Supes just kinda....relocated. He has some issues."

 

[wiegeabo]

"It is the old one. Supes just kinda....relocated. He has some issues."

"Unfortunately, to no effect. While I applaud his effort to kill the Parasite, but it appears we still have more work to do to stop him."

 

[twylight]

"It is the old one. Supes just kinda....relocated. He has some issues."

"It's all about loaction, location, location. A Realtors dream."

"Unfortunately, to no effect. While I applaud his effort to kill the Parasite, but it appears we still have more work to do to stop him."

Dinah squinted her eyes.
"I wish I could agree, but I think this is a battle Superman needs to win on his own. "

 

[Green Lantern]

"New Mount Swan? What happened to the old one?"

"No force of man, can shut me up! Just ask Ollie! And Supes kinda dropped the old one on Parasite, at least from what I could tell..."

 

[Franklin Richards]

"It's all about loaction, location, location. A Realtors dream."

"Unfortunately, to no effect. While I applaud his effort to kill the Parasite, but it appears we still have more work to do to stop him."

Dinah squinted her eyes.
"I wish I could agree, but I think this is a battle he needs to win on his own."

"I have no problem with that. However we will need to contain a battle of that magnitude. If push comes to shove we might even have to relocate them to space. All in all we protect the civillians and make sure Parasite doesn't escape. At any cost."

 

[twylight]

"I have no problem with that. However we will need to contain a battle of that magnitude. If push comes to shove we might even have to relocate them to space. All in all we protect the civillians and make sure Parasite doesn't escape. At any cost."

Dinah gave a smug smile.

"Damage control. Welcome to the life of a non-powered hero." she said a little bitterly.

~ Tha' was harsh.~

Dinah bit her lip.
"He deserved it." she said speeding up.

"We need to relieve Zatanna, and alert the military. However at this juncture I almos feel it would be better to not allow the military in. Who knows what they'll want to do if they gain a firm foothold. But coordination of evacuation and safety is the prime concern right now. Hal, you're a military man."

 

[Speedball]

"No force of man, can shut me up! Just ask Ollie! And Supes kinda dropped the old one on Parasite, at least from what I could tell..."

"Brings new meaning to 'Dropping the house on the Wicked Witch', doesn't it?"
