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

Bishop Cori said:
Kara stood in the room with tapes in hand. She hadn't seen this many heroes in one place since her christening as Supergirl. The Shade... that must have been the other person who killed Bart. He would have to pay for it. "Then noone is safe. None of us. If they can take out people like Jade and Bart, then they can take out any of us. Even Kal. We need to get rolling on this, we can't sit and wait for them to attack us again!"
The teleporter in the corner fired up, and more heroes walked into the room: Cyborg, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Wonder Woman, Starfire, Raven, Speedy, Green Arrow, and Superboy.
"Kara, I got your note and gathered who I could. I couldn't reach Dick or Roy, but I brought everyone I could on short notice."

batnkevlar said:
*Hal turned to see Dinah behind him*

"Roy and Lian are dead. I don't know how or why, but they are. Pieter here says the Dark Alliance killed them. I say we pay them a little visit. What do you think?"

She turned to face the wall, her mind a complete blank. She tried hard to grasp a dicernable thought. It was like drowning with nothing to hold on too. There was no way she could answer Hal, but he already knew her answer anyway.
"Roy...Lian.."
Putting her hand against the wall she sqeezed her eyes shut. Everyone had lost someone and there really wasn't any need for her to make a scene. She curled her hand against the wall into a fist and leaned closer to it. Tuning out the rest of the League's discussion.
She'd seen the Teen Titans along with Wonder Woman and Ollie walk in seconds before Hal confirmed her question. Whiping her tears she turned and walked over to Mia, who's first thing she heard when she walked into the room was about Roy and Lian.
"Mia.."

OOC: O-kay Cori..:o Some help? Also I miss you..:( *sniff* No AIM...
 
"WHAT?!? What happened to Roy? Who's ass am I going to kick for it?"
"Who else has to die? First Bart? Now Roy... and LIAN? She was just a kid! Who would be heartless enough to kill a child? Dinah, who?"Mia has tears running down her face as she hugged her other mentor. Ollie turned away from Dinah in shame, not wanting to face her. In times of pain, his 'kids' went to her, not to him. Roy went to her when he had his addiction problem, that Ollie couldn't, no wouldn't understand and help him through. God, Roy... he had been like a son to me and now he's gone... Amidst the angry scowl on Ollie's face, a single tear ran down his cheek.

Connor and Cassie aproached Kara. "Kara, I'm so sorry... I know what its like to lose someone close to you, it's something that should never happen, but it does. It'll make you stronger, I promise." "He's right Kara, it hurts, but it'll get better, and it gives you even more purpose to do what we do." Connor thought about Tana Moon, and how much he had cared about her, while Cassie thought about her predecessor; Donna Troy.
 
OOC: I really want to get into the action, so if someone can get me up to the Watchtower, that would be gravy.
 
"I don't know what you guys are gonna do, but I'm going after them. Dinah? You coming with me?"
 
Bishop Cori said:
OOC: It depends how it is done, and how well the person playing the NPC's know the characters. If you're having them fight just to fight then its out of hand, but as Trop and I showed, if you handle it as seperate characters (our Kid Flash v. Slade and Shade fight with me as Bart and him as Bart and 2 villains) it can work extremely well. I know the Titan's inside and out, like the back of my hand. I could right great fights with any of the characters and not miss a beat.

OOC:I think it might just be a question of numbers (you'd murdelize us) and there are too many PC's to make it really cohesive by adding NPC's too. Batnkevlar already made it celar to the Alliance that we're not to use NPC's, at least not in battles against the League.
 
OOC: Yeah, you can use NPC's as ways to move the plot forward, but not in battle. If you guys may or may not have noticed, RPing a battle is fun. I remember when I beat Sinestro fair and square, just using my wits and without strecthing any rules... it was fun...

Amidst the angry scowl on Ollie's face, a single tear ran down his cheek.

Dinah put her arms around Mia and let her tears run freely, unable to answer Mia's question. Dinah glanced at Ollie, he'd turned away from them, never one who could handle problems or grief. But she still saw a tear go down his cheek. Roy had in so many way's been Ollie's first son.
Dinah put her face on the top of Mia's head, their blonde hairs intermingling along with their tears.
Mia was so new to the world, to all of this and so was Kara. Dinah tilted her head towards Kara, the new Supergirl, neither one of them should have to go through this so early.

Straightening her neck Dinah tossed her hair back and looked around the room. The hero community was often divided up in families for easy 'cataloging' The Bat Family, Team Arrow, Supes family, and the Wonder girls, and by Teams, Teen Titans, Justice League. Everyone of them had lost someone. Wally's eyes looked as red as his costume, Alan, Kara, Starfire, Dinah stopped mentally naming off names.

Dinah rubbed Mia's back as her tears subsided, placing her hands on Mia's shoulder Dinahsaid "We're going to be okay. We're all going to be okay."
She placed her arm around Mia and glanced at Ollie, before turning her attention towards the center of the room.
 
batnkevlar said:
"I don't know what you guys are gonna do, but I'm going after them. Dinah? You coming with me?"

"Wait, Hal. We need to call Batman, he should be here, and we should form a plan. We've already seen first hand what the Alliance can do." She motioned at the red eyes andtears around the room.
"There is no way we can do it unless we do it as a group."


OOC: First, like the color? Second, we need to wait for the other RPGers to catch up, why do you think I keep stalling with the waterworks? Third, the NPC's are there to add depth. I doubt if we'll be using Speedy or Wonder Woman in battle. Or Green Arrow for that matter....
 
batnkevlar said:
OOC: Ollie's not around, is he?

OOC: He is, read Cori's post. But he's NPC right? Still we have to add certain characters, it's like them special appearing in our characters comics. You can't kill off characters like Roy and Lian without seeing Mia's and GA's response. Same with Jade.
 
OOC: How can I hit on Black Canary with Ollie around? Not to mention he's Hal's best friend... I really want an Ollie in this RPG... but not as an NPC...
 
OOC: I doubt he'll be around long. Oh, and JKR I left an opening for you, AND Dinah still has her comm on which can connect to Batman's.

*The things I do...fixing that camera thing, which smooth move Co-RI! :p ;), leaving openings for people* ;)
 
John was about to speak when I heard Dinah's voice from the comm.

"Batman? It's Dinah."

Oh crap. I'm STILL trying to figure out the last time I was with her.

"What is it, Dinah?"

"You should get to the Watchtower. Something big's happening... Just--just get here."

She sounds distraut. Something bad must have happened.

"Don't worry, I'll be there as quick as I can." I end the transmission and turn to John.

"I'm heading for the Watchtower. Something's going on. You coming?"

"Alright," he replies.

Less than a minute later, both myself and John are in the center of the Watchtower. I'm the first to answer.

"What's going on?"
 
"It turns out all the guys we've spent our lives defeating are teaming up. And their winning. People are dying out there, Bruce, and we need to stop them. I don't care what you're going to do. I'm going after the bastards."
 
Scarecrow exited the burning clinic. His fragile and broken mind lost in a world of bullies and hurt. He could feel power growing in him. It was time to hurt the bullies. It was time to kill Gotham’s dark knight. But they would wait…for what was coming to him was much better than the dark knight. “More power…less bullies…more power…less bullies….”

"Calm down, Hal. We have to plan this, or else there will be even more deaths. Now tell me, who's teaming up? Who's died?"
 
"Dammit, I don't have time for this. I'm outta here. I gotta do something."

*Hal streaks out of the Watchtower.*
 
Jesus, Hal. If things are as bad as Dinah said they were, he's going to get himself killed.

"Well someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?"
 
NOW:
Shadow imps look into the small window that leads to the basement workshop of one Rex Tyler. Rex looks up suddenly but sees nothing there, the imps whisper what they saw to the Shade who is hidden in the porch's shadow. His smile is suddenly visible, like that of the Cheshire cat, in the inky blackness; and then disappears.

15 MINUTES BACK:
Rick Tyler is taking a nap after a heavy meal. His brow furrows and he starts to stir when he suddenly sits up with a shuddering gasp and finally says "DAD!" breathlessly. He stumbles out of bed and puts on a shirt as he runs for the front door and puts on his gauntlet and injects himself with Miraclo. This way gives him a straighter line to get to his dad's house instead of a car. He curses himself for not putting a call out first. "Calm down, Rick, you've still got an hour. OR LESS!"- he said as he jumped over a house.

NOW:
The shadows beneath the workbench deepen and Rex notices it. He tries to act non-chalant but as soon as he sees them move he bolts for one of the walls. His hands move quickly and surely as eh opens the small safe and reaches for a small case marked with an hourglass symbol. Through the corner of his eye he sees the Shade standing there and extending an arm. As he starts to drop his case is snatched from his hand. A laughing imp sits inside the safe waving him bye-bye with the case and fades from existence.

10 MINUTES BACK:
Rick had snatched a cell phone from a dumbfounded bystander and tried to phone his father but there was no answer. There wasn't a JSA to call and he wasn't close enough to any of the others to know their phones by memory. "AAAAARRGH!!"- he screamed in frustration as he slammed the cell phone to the floor and broke it in a million pieces.

NOW:
Rex thightens his fist and feels the small pill inside it. He dodges the blows of a trollish shadow creature intent on hitting him. He lets the creature slam him against the wall and he reaches up and activates the emergency blackout lights. The troll backs down as it rises an arm to seemingly cover its eyes. Rex smiles and catches Shade's furious face. He also notices that the Shade is apparently searching the counters. "The tachyon imbued hourglass!!"- Rex thinks as he loses the smile and pops in the Miraclo pill in his mouth. The Shade smiles at him and Rex feels...

5 MINUTES AGO:
Rick knows that he's very close now. He wonders if his visions can be prevented, they have all come to pass exactly as he saw them. "There's still time. It hasn't been an hour yet. This one won't happen."- he's all grimy and sweaty. The property damage he has done by wantonly jumping at enhanced strength is not his concern at the moment. Screaming people and car alarms are all that is left in his wake but the only thing he can hear is the beating of his own heart.

Hal Jordan streaks out of the JLA Watchtower. His frustration is cut short as one of the visions he saw in the Source Wall hits him again like a cement truck. He sees Rex Tyler's mangled body lying crumpled on the floor and a shadowy figure standing victorious over it. It's the same vision that hit Rick Tyler.


NOW:
...small hands grab his throat and choke him. The trollish creature ducks under the lights and punches him in the stomach. An explosion of air flies out his mouth and the pill with it. "Ah, ah, ah!"- Shade says as he motions 'no' with his finger. Rex still fights like a wildcat against the shadow creatures. In a desperate move, Rex grabs a screw driver and throws it dagger-like at the Shade. The Shade steps aside and the screw driver hits a black light generator. Rex struggles free and jumps into the black beam's path only to find that it's bathing him like tar. "What did you think I was doing on the counter? Looking for something? No, dear Rex, I was making sure your little contraption was out of comission and housed a shadow demon of its own."- Shade said with a slight smile. "Damn you, Shade! What do you want?"- replied Rex furiously.

"ME? Oh, I already have what I wanted. It's one of the first things I got shortly after this little battle started. You're my second objective, Rex. Our little club is looking to be rid of you sappy heroes. Me? I agree that there are far too many of you. I aprecciate what some of you do, but frankly...who needs two Hourmen? You're lucky! You get to die and your son gets to live. He's been a worthy legacy to you, Rex. The other legacies I've killed have been of unworthy succesors." The Shade steps closer to Rex who is not only being held by the shadow goo but by the trollish thing. "What was that corny campaign they had years back? I know it had to strike a chord in you since the source of your powers are dependant on it...I remember! This is your brain..."- the Shade said as he motioned to the shadow troll and the creature ran it's paw over Rex's head-"...this is your brain on DRUGS!" The shadow troll attacked Rex viciously mangling his head and body.

SYNCHRONICITY? NOT QUITE!:

Rick dive bombs throught the roof of the house.

Shade hears the impact and prepares for the next attacker by making a shadow creature that looks like him, while he moves to an ambush location.

Rick runs down the stairs and sees his father mangled corpse.

Shade sees the second Hourman come down the stairs and flinch when he sees his father's bloodied body. "Nooo! It wasn't time it wasn't an hour..."

...yet!"-Rick screams as he rams through the "Shade" and crumbles the work bench. The tachyon hourglass spins through the air and Rick sees it as he turns around. He grabs for it, but a shadow bolt hits it. In that split second he realizes that this was what had tampered with the timing of his vision. It's his last conscious thought as he's bathed in black light and the hourglass vanishes. "Curious!"- is all that Shade says as he twiddles his fingers brushing the shadow matter from his blast away.

OOC:Okay, Batnkevlar, there's your cue.

"Leave him alone!"

*Hal socks Shade and knocks him backward*

"No more!"
 
Catwoman was standing right outside of the burning clinic. The Scarecrow was walking down the corner of Main and West. “That dirty bastard,” Selina said under her breath. With that she ran after him and flipped in front of him. “You’re in the Eas..” he punched her in the stomach and released fear gas into her face. “Oh my god! Get away from me!” she said. In her eyes she was seeing an abusive father coming towards her. No.. she went into darkness.

Jesus, Hal. If things are as bad as Dinah said they were, he's going to get himself killed.

"Well someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?"

"An alliance has been formed between some of the deadliest men on the planet, and they're killing others in our ranks." Now that Bruce was here, I could get on with my plan.

I raised my voice speaking loudly and clearly so everyone can hear me.

"As of right now, we are at war. But, rushing in and blindly attacking is not an option. We need to split into teams, so that each can achieve a certain objective that will give us the advantage. I will lead one team, and Batman will head another. Hal seems to have left, but he too will lead a team. Each will choose two or three others to work with them in their task. My team will try and reason with Black Adam; he was once a hero, and I want to know his motivations here. Batman's team will locate this Alliance's base of operations, as well as finding ways to overcome it's defenses. Hal's team will keep a close watch on the villains the Alliance hasn't contacted, ensuring that they do not bolster their ranks. Kara, Wally, you're with me. Batman, you may choose your own team, but I'd suggest Mid-nite and J'onn be a part of it."
