The 'World of Heroes: DC Style" RPG Season II

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC:
Wait, I'm lost. Why is Crane helping Batman?And what's the Joker up to?
And anything else I'll need to know?

About the Dick/Babs thing...I guess we'll just have to go with the whole 'made up a few months a go thing' then...

OOC: Basically, Crane saw a skinny, nerdy kid like he was tripping out on the gas in the air. Crane grew a conchinece and gave the kid an antidote. Joker (who was working with Crane at the time) killed the kid and Crane snapped on him. Joker escaped, cooled off at some hide-out, and decided to add more mayhem by spraying Joker Venom onto Gotham.

 

[Supergirl]

OCC: Nyahahaha! Now it's my turn! Returned to the surveillance team? TEAM? I'll second the motion that this Raven was brought back by Brother Blood.

IC:Deathstroke held off the Alliance's attack as they followed the couple's actions. If there was an intimate moment that they could exploit, all the better. As the couple reached Supergirl's room he gave the signal for the attack. They would perform a pincer attack and the confined quarters would work to their advantage. "Place Black Adam outside the door, Shade. I'll put Supergirl in place while I engage our target. Shade, hold back in the shadows until I give you the signal. If anyone needs help, just call out. Procceed, Shade."

The shadows consumed them again and they crossed through the Shadow Lands. Teth Adam was the first to be dropped off just outside Kara's room. Deathstroke was the next one as he appeared behind Bart, his staff was already drawn and pointed and the muzzle was aglow with the blast starting to leave it. Bart was directly in between Kara and And Slade.

OOC: The first part of this post is right before you get there

IC: Kara told Bart to turn around as she changed into Wonder Woman pajamas with loose sweat pants and a cotton tank top. I may be doing this at superspeed but I am willing to bet that his eyes would see it at normal speed, and I'm not that easy, Mr. Allen.

Before she could tell Bart to turn back around, Kara felt the air around her grow cold as the villains materialized in the room. She saw the glare on the muzzle of Deathstroke's staff, and her emotions already running wild from the romantic evening, she let out a blast of heat vision, nailing the staff right where Deathstroke was holding it. "BART! Lets show these guys that you don't mess with Titans on their turf!"

 

[Phantasm]

OOC:Thanks JRK. Got it now...
IC:Barb Gordon

Relief sweeps over me as I see that Dinah was with Batman now.Though it doesn't help that I didn't have any idea what was wrong with her or what condition sh ewas in at the moment. I connect the link to Batman and am about to speak when I see a message blinking on the side of my screen. Curious I turn on the audio and play it.

"Attention, this is Batman. Anyone in the area of Gotham needs to start sweeping through the city. There is a mass spreading of a virus here. It messes with your brain and distorts reality from fantasy. You need to keep your head together and save as much people as you can while I'm getting the antidote mass produced. Batman out."


Hhhmm...Now I think I now what got to Dinah... I wheel myself to the winodw and make sure they are tightly closed...Couldn't risk getting engulfed with the gas... The A.C is on...so I should be safe as far as I know....

I head back to the Console and connect to Batman, "Good that you got to Dinah.Is she alright? I recieved your message. Sorry I was out for so long...had some work out sessions...anything with which I can prove myself useful?"

Deathstroke was the next one as he appeared behind Bart, his staff was already drawn and pointed and the muzzle was aglow with the blast starting to leave it. Bart was directly in between Kara and And Slade.

Before she could tell Bart to turn back around, Kara felt the air around her grow cold as the villains materialized in the room. She saw the glare on the muzzle of Deathstroke's staff, and her emotions already running wild from the romantic evening, she let out a blast of heat vision, nailing the staff right where Deathstroke was holding it.

Bart's eyes grew wide as Kara fired off her heat vision, but realized that it wasn't directed at him. At the same time that the heat beam was making it's way towards Deathstroke, HIS blast was still moving towards them.

By this time, Deathstroke felt the heat on his staff even through his thick gloves and started to drop it. Bart had turned around and it was too late for him to do anything but hope that vibrating would be enough.

"BART! Lets show these guys that you don't mess with Titans on their turf!"

Kara didn't have time to say anything else as Bart had cut off her field of vision and the blast went through her and hit her, sending her back against the wall that connected to the corridor with a noticeable thud. Deathstroke touched one of the pouches on his belt and the bottom fell out spreading ball bearings on the floor. The Shade continued to look forth throught the shadows while still safely in the Shadow Lands.

*To make things go faster we decided to switch places. It would take way too long at the rate I was going. Me. Slow. Who'd a thunk? Anyway with the good use of both our powers, we managed to make it into this nifty headband.*

Flash-"Miniaturized communication technology. Anywhere, any time, any dimension...You know we could make zillions off of this."
Atom-"Always money with you Flash isn't it?"
Flash-"No!...Well...Not always."
Atom-"If you're done fooling around with that thing, we have a little green friend who needs our help."

*I take him to one of our many fancy, high tech, high security storage rooms and towards the cosmic treadmill itself.*

Atom-"Big room for a treadmill."
Flash-"Hey, you can never be too sure what'll happen. It could go nuclear."
Atom-"That thing has nuclear technology?"
Flash-"No...To tell you the truth we don't know what it's made of or how it works. It's just is what it is and it does what it does."
Atom-"Ah. I might take the time to study this later. Put on the band, I'll go set it up on the monitor."
Flash-"Right-O. :whistles:"
Atom-"Done."
Flash-"That was fast."
Atom-"Hey, I'm a genius remember? You do your thing, I'll do mine."
Flash-"Gotcha. See ya in 5 seconds."

*And with that I run through the treadmill so fast it creates a portal with a loud BOOM which closes as quickly as I enter.*

*Hmm. Home sweet home...Could use a change of scenery though. The bright reds and yellows get old quick. Now, I've got a martian to find.*

Deathstroke touched one of the pouches on his belt and the bottom fell out spreading ball bearings on the floor. The Shade continued to look forth throught the shadows while still safely in the Shadow Lands.

OOC: So can we see Shade or not?

IC: As Kara hit the wall, she was stunned but not hurt. Okay... was NOT expecting that... way to use your head Bart While standing back up, she lanced another blast of heat vision at Deathstroke's feet, melting his boots into some of the ball bearings. Then she flew fast at him to avoid the other balls.

Meanwhile, Bart was vibrating so fast that everything was a blur. He could see the blurred shape of Deathstroke, with the red blur hurtling towards him.. I don't think I've ever been moving this fast, I better slow down so I don't burn my body out...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Black Adam heard the thud against the wall and decided he was done waiting. Whatever plans Shade might have had for him in the corridor, it seemed obvious from the sounds coming from that room that they needed him in there. He slammed his fingers into the door so fast they punched straight through and then he tore the door out of the wall.

Tossing the door aside, Black Adam assessed the scene: Kid Flash was vibrating at super-speed while Supergirl's heat vision was concentrated on the metal balls around Deathstroke's feet. The Shade was nowhere to be seen. The very moment after the balls melted and fused Deathstroke's boots to the ground, Supergirl became a reddish blur traveling straight towards Slade.

Black Adam raced into action. Using every bit of speed he could muster, he shoulder-checked Supergirl through the far wall of her room and into the open air before she could reach Slade. Adam flew out after her in the hopes of keeping their battle outside so that his companions could finish the boy.

 

[Tropico]

OOC: Shade can't be seen at the moment.

IC: A black raven shaped wraith sprang up from the shadows at Deathstroke's feet and enveloped him in its wings.

The Shade played his deceptive card again, but he wasn't smiling through all of this. The way the battle was starting out meant he would soon have to step into the room and join the battle. One of his favorite enemies to fight when the urge sprang up on him was the Flash, but there was something different about this younger one that unsettled him.

The raven melted into the floor again, Slade's boots were all that were left behind. The shadows writhed at the far end of the room and Deathstroke stepped out. He threw a smallish canister at the floor near the hazy figure and it burst open creating a small cloud of gas that was starting to rise towards what would be the haze's head. "You still have to breathe."- said Slade under his breath.

As she flew towards Deathstroke, she felt a freight train plow into her. All of a sudden she was outside. That actually hurt! What in Rao's name hit me?!? Dazed she looked around for what had hit her. Out of the hole in her wall, she saw what looked like Captain Marvel. It must be Black Adam... I remember Kal telling me about him. Bart can probably handle Deathstroke, or at least hold his own until I can get back, but theres no way he could take Adam. I have to draw him away from the fight. She flew upwards, and then back down at near light speed, smashing Adam into San Fransisco Bay.

Bart starts coughing as he slows down to a slightly more manageable speed. Got To Think. Calm Down. I Have An Idea. Bart spun his finger into the rising gas at superspeed, sucking it up in a mini tornado, then directed it out the hole in the wall made by Supergirl. He then threw a fist, superspeed, at Slade's face. "That's for my knee you ass-hole!"

Adam raised his arms to block Supergirl's blow as well as he could. The impact put him underwater but the pain was muted, at least--though his arms still ached as if he'd been punching granite for three days. An instant after he hit the water, he was back out and bearing straight towards Supergirl. Judging from the blow she'd just landed on him, the rumors of her strength rivaling Superman's were true. Though it would seem that that fact should worry Black Adam, he was actually quite happy; it meant he didn't have to pull his punches.

Black Adam reached Supergirl again in another instant and packed as much of his mystical strength as he could behind a left hook, which sent Supergirl flying well away from Titans Tower and over the mainland. Good, Black Adam thought as he rushed after Supergirl with sonic booms trailing behind him, determined to press his advantage. At least Deathstroke and Slade will be free to complete their task uninterrupted. Before Supergirl could get even get her bearings again, Black Adam was already on top of her--literally. His fist slammed down on her head from above and she created a crater around the spot she landed on. Black Adam could see her already struggling to get up again, though. This could take a while...

 

[Tropico]

Slade bent back, the fist missed him but the air pressure that went with it struck the assassin. He used the force of the blow to continue his backwards travel and brought his feet up behind in as if in a backwards sommersault intending to hit the young speedster.

He had expected to use fear against Bart, but apparently their traumatic encounter had the opposite effect. He kept a crouched position after the sommersault and drew out his sword. "That was just my son in my body. Imagine wat will happen when the real driver is in control."- Slade said in a menacing tone.

OOC: Dammit, I wanna see this fight in a real comic

IC: After she had knocked him into the water, Supergirl had expected to have a moment to regroup. While trying to catch her breath, the water in the bay boiled over as Adam flew back out and hit her with his left hook. She hit the ground in the middle of a street about a quarter mile away. She was just about to pick herself back up, when a black blur dropped on her, driving her further into the ground, and breaking a water main. He's fast, I can't take the time to think about how to act, just have to act. As she was getting up, purposely slowly to make Adam think she was starting to wear down, she used her super breath to shower Adam with water from the broken main, freezing him in a sheet of ice. Without even thinking she blasted him with a full force shot of heat vision sublimating the ice into boiling hot steam around Adam.

"That was just my son in my body. Imagine wat will happen when the real driver is in control."- Slade said in a menacing tone.

Bart leaned back just in time to barely catch Slade's foot on his chin. As he fell backwards, he kicked at Slade's just landed knee, and then went back into a continuous vibration. "Why do you insist on fighting children Slade? Not man enough to take on the big boys?" Attack his huge ego, maybe it'll knock him off his game. That or it will just leave me in worse shape...
Bart throws another punch at Slade's face, intentionally taking into account that Slade will dodge, but moving behind Slade and punching him in the back of the head as he does.

I was sweating bullets, putting all I can into making this antidote as fast as I can when my comm beeped and Barbara's voice rung out.

"Good that you got to Dinah. Is she alright? I recieved your message. Sorry I was out for so long...had some work out sessions...anything with which I can prove myself useful?"

I press on the comm and answer, "Dinah was out, with the gasses getting to her. But I gave her the antidote, and she should be fine now. And if you could tell me who's here in Gotham right now, that would prove useful.

 

[Spike_x1]

Rudy Jones was spent. His employers had literally dug into his skull and gathered the information they were looking for. Not knowing what they had specifically retrieved from his brain, Rudy merely rejoiced in the fact that he could now rest.

Just as he was about to doze off into a forgiving sleep, Lawton again approached the Parasite with cold determination blazing in his eyes. "We've got a situation in San Francisco that requires your immediate attention."

*Sigh* "Can't ya gimme five mintues?"

"No. We've got a major player in the coming events at risk near the headquarters of the Teen Titans. We need you to break up a fight between Supergirl and Black Adam."

"Come on Floyd! Just five min--" Rudy whined through his pain.

"NOW! Take the teleporter in the first door on your left."

With that, Rudy was forced onto his feet and to his surprise, another man in gleaming armor stepped infront of Rudy, aiming a strange looking weapon at him. Suddenly a steady beam of electricity came out of the weapon and gave Rudy a charge strong enough to get him past his recent pain.

Feeling as good as new, the Parasite cracked his knuckles and headed to the teleporters. As he was leaving, Deadshot called out to him, "We don't want the target injured. All we need is for you to break up the fight."

OOC: Is that okay with you guys? I do have an agenda (it won't be revealed for a long time to come, but it's still an agenda).

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Freezing cold followed immediately by scalding steam played havoc with Black Adam's senses and left burn holes in his costume. Steam rose in thin, whispy curls off of his skin and he was ashamed to admit that that little display actually hurt him. Supergirl apparently wasn't pulling her punches either, and unfortunately she had the distinct advantage of ranged attacks on her side. Untold years of combat experience told Black Adam that the quickest and most effective means of dealing with Supergirl was to keep the fight in close quarters and pour the pressure on 'til she dropped. He knew of Captain Marvel's fights with Superman; Marvel's magically powered punches taxed the Kryptonian greatly. He hoped that the same held true for Superman's female counterpart.

All of those thoughts flashed through Black Adam's tactical mind in less than a second. He dove down to hover just 2 feet in front of Supergirl as she got back to her feet. He crossed his arms over his chest. Tactics, Black Adam knew, meant more than just how you threw your punches. Seizing mental control of a battle to inspire doubt in an opponent could be more effective than the most powerful physical blow. Supergirl would be expecting him to continue the fight at the breakneck pace he had established already, so instead he simply floated there waiting for her. "Come on then, girl," was all he said defiantly.

"You want a war, you'll get one. I don't know why you guys are targeting us, but I'm not one to be bullied around." With that she brought her knee swiftly into Adam's groin and then punched him in the stomach to put distance between her and him. He was going for intimidation, but I've stared down Batman. Kal also told me to watch out for magic, so I'm going to have to keep him as far away as I can.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Question about the Titans Tower situation: Shade's latest post had a raven shaped being doing his bidding, yes? So did Shade combine his powers with Raven's soul-self or something? I'm confudeled.

 

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite teleported onto the scene to the roof of the Titan's Tower. The transportation left him a tad queezy, but he shook it off quickly enough. He then heard the familiar thunder claps of a superpowered fight going on nearby. Following the noise, Rudy jumped down from the roof, landing on the ground with his feet imbedded slightly in the dirt. Rudy smiled slyly and ran towards the sound of the fighting.

 

[batnkevlar]

*Alan flies up behind Hal*

"You wanted to talk?"

*Hal and Alan fly above the city but below the emerald shield John had put up.*

"How're you doin Alan?"

*Hal looks at him*

"Ok, I'll cut to the chase. Really, I will. You've been like a teacher to me. A father, almost. You've taught me things about the ring that I woulod never have learned other wise. You've taught me life lessons that's didn't make sense at the time, but do now. I remember when you and I, and Jay and... and... and Barry... we went to an uncharted planet where you taught me to be more versatile. I hated you for that once. Now I realize you were only there to help me out. We have a legacy to keep. A Green Lantern Legacy. Now I know you were never part of the Corps and that might be the key to your power: magic and all that stuff. But the point is, there's something I gotta tell you..."

*Hal looks down at the ground*

"Jade's dead, Alan. I'm sorry."

 

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Shade's able to create shadow-forms, so he's basically just using that to mimic Raven's soul self. It's not actually her power manifesting, he's just imitating it.

IC: As his feet hit the ground and he skidded to a halt, Black Adam grunted through gritted teeth after Supergirl's underhanded blows. Fortunately, he was resistant to injury all over, but still, certain areas were always more sensitive than others. Supergirl probably believed she'd bought herself time with that dirty little maneuver, but all she'd succeeded in doing was pissing Adam off, and Adam had forgotten more dirty tricks than Supergirl would ever learn.

He streaked back towards her in a flash, but instead of doing the obvious thing and punching her, Black Adam stopped just shy of her and let his foot lightly graze the ground. At his speed, however, that transferred into a massive cluster of loose dirt and dust, all of which splayed across Supergirl's face, disorienting her. Black Adam snatched her neck with lightning speed and angled her face upwards so her heat vision couldn't hit him, then proceeded to belt her young, fragile-seeming head over and over again. The girl was tough, but so was Black Adam and purple blotches started appearing on her once-unblemished face before long.

 

[Spike_x1]

As Adam was hitting Supergirl, his hand was suddenly caught in mid air by a monstrously large purple hand. Adam looked up into the Parasite's shining yellow eyes. Then he began to feel energy being drained from him.

"That's enough, Adam."

 

[Supergirl]

While the bruises formed on her face, Kara's perseverance grew. This hurts, but I have to put him down... and I have to get back to Bart... It's times like these that I wish I had a JL communicator... I could use Kal about now. She followed Adam to the sky when he took to the sky after Parasite's interference.

Up in the air she quickly headbutted Adam to get him at arms reach again, grabbed him by the shoulders and spun violently fast launching him back to the bay again. As she followed she tried to clear her thoughts. Is this what Clark felt like when he fought Doomsday? I can't even see out of my right eye now, and every muscle in my body is sore.

EDIT OOC: I figure my post works even more so now, since Adam would have been weaker, and now Parasite can keep up with us in the air too.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"I will determine what is 'enough,' monster," Black Adam snarled, punching Parasite away from him before he could absorb anymore of his power. Acutely aware that he was now standing squarely between two opponents, Black Adam took to the air. Black Adam was also aware that he had no idea why Parasite had popped up seemingly out of thin air for no discernible reason. "Why do you trouble me? This is no concern of yours! Besides, when did you begin caring about fools like the Titans?" he called to Parasite.
