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

[nixonbat]

Digger had spent a few days getting himself ready for his "mid-life crisis" vacation, as he had come to think of it. He had stored the majority of his ill-gotten gains in off-shore/high interest earning bank accounts. He had secured all of his hide-outs, to ensure his gadgetry would be waiting for him when decided to come back to using it...after proving himself not to be a "fluke," but a true man of skill.


Only one thing was missing....in what part of the world would he take this test? America? Colombia? Venezuela? Croatia? Thailand? Saudi Arabia? Nigeria?... oh, the limitless possibilities....Digger decided he needed a few Foster's to think it over......

[OOC]Um, I think I'll take Zoom down a bit, and set him a bit back as a FBI person dood. As in less killing, and more time spent tracking the Flash.[/OOC]

*Hunter enters a random motel called Motel Quick and rents out a room.*

*At the end of the day, the cashier counts his money, only to discover that he had the same amount before Hunter checked in. (For those of you who are slow, Hunter payed with the money he stole from the cashier).*

*After checking into his room, he walks outside and wanders around Keystone. After awhile he trips and falls.*

"Dammit."

*He looks down and sees an imprint of a face in the floor.*

"What the-wait"

*He looks up and sees he's in front of the Flash Museum where Wally face planted himself into the floor. He proceeds to reminisce about the whole pants thing and smiles to himself. Having just made his day, he decides he'll snoop around later, and decides he'll wander around the city some more, occasionally pickpocketing fools so the cashier at the motel woulnd't get too suspicious.*

*Hal went home and slept in his apartment. In the morning, he woke up to a banging at his door. He opened it up to see an angry landlord peering at him*

"Where is my rent?" asked Mr. Hyunh.

"Hey, Mr. Hyunh, I just got a job. I can get it to you when my paycheck comes across. Is that cool?"

"It hasn't been 'cool' since five months ago when you gave me half your rent for that month!"

"But I have a job now. It's at LexCorp..."

"How could a bum like you get a job at LexCorp? You came in waltzing here out of nowhere a couple months ago dressed in nothing but a few ripped pieces of clothing. You're a bum, Jordan, and always will be! Get out of my sight!"

*Hal shuts his door and here's some more knocking. He opens it back up to see Mr. Hyunh again.*

"I mean't get out of my building, Jordan!"

 

[Twitch]

"Dammit he's not showing up"

"Now if I was Zoom, where would I be?"

"The Flash muesuem(sp)!"
He speeds towards it

Occ: since he is the reverse Flash

[HuyLantern]

*He appears in front of the High lord of Qward in his throne room.*

High lord

"Sinestro, why haven't you given me your weekly reports?"

Sinestro
"Is that why is you summon me back here, just for your silly visits?"

High lord
"How dare you disrespect us? After what we done for you! We given you our technology, manpower, and let's not forget your ring. You haven't kept your part of the bargain!"

Sinestro
"I gave you your war with the Justice League and you failed! It's not my fault that your thunderers are incompetent!"

High lord
“I had enough of your foolishness.”

*The high lord presses a button, in the arm rest of his chair. The floor reveals vents around Sinestro’s feet. The vents release a toxin that causes Sinestro to be paralyzed. The Chief Weaponeer runs in and takes off Sinestro yellow ring and replaces his finger with a new yellow ring.*

High lord

“For your insubordination, I’m giving you a ring that stores much less energy than your previous ring. When you given us what we need, we will give you rings that can hold more. Now be gone, you make me sick!”

*Sinestro is transferred back to Vanity.*

*In Vanity, on top of an abandon factory, Sinestro stands motionless. With the effects of the gas wearing away, Sinestro is able to move. He walks downstairs to see the progress of the battle droids’ renovation of the factory. (He managed to savage some from the old “IS” sea lab.)*

“You are all doing a great job, if you don’t mind I shall be making a trip down south to make the higher ups happy.”

*He activates his smart portal and walks through.*

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

-The pilot begins to land in a field about a hundred yards or so from the abandoned gas station. Once it comes to a complete stop, I exit the plane with my case and exchange a few words with the pilot before he begins his trip back.....

(to pilot) Now that you've completed your task I have a few things to clear up with you. Lalo, the fellow that contracted you, will be at the strip waiting for you. You will receive the remainder of your payment once you arrive back. (taking a deep puff from my cigar..)This trip never happened, understood. You seem like an intelligent man so I'm sure you know that my...associates... will be keeping an eye on you...
(pilot) Oh, y-y-yes sir, I understand 100%. No n-need to worry sir.
(to pilot) Goood. Now that that's clear, you may go.
(pilot) Y-Yes sir, Mr. Montana . I greatly appreciate the opportunity to..
(to pilot) GO!
(pilot) Y-Yes Mr. Montana, sorry sir.. I-I-I'm on my way.


-While the pilot preps the plane I walk to the abandoned gas station. I walk to the front and take a glance to make sure nothing looks suspicious. Everything seems normal, so I walk around back. A small weathered wooden cross pokes out the ground behind the gas station, held up by a couple rocks and stones. I glance over to the plane and see that the pilot's already onboard. I look back down at the cross and kneel down. One by one I toss the rocks away from the cross. By this time the plane's engine is revving up. With the rocks moved aside I stand and grab the cross. I pull the cross up and out of the ground, exposing a chain attached to the bottom of it. As I backpeddle slowly while holding the cross it pulls the 'ground' along with it. It is actually a cover that conceals a hidden bunker. With the cover moved I stop and look into the hole. Below the ground hid a bunker with semi-automatic guns, rifles, grenades, explosives, but more importantly....a car. The plane begins to move slowly, but I notice the pilot looking back at me. I walk down the ramp into the bunker, heading to a desk in the back. Opening the desk drawer I find a set of keys. With a few guns in hand I open the trunk of the car and toss them in. The plane is gradually lifting off the ground. After pumping the gas pedal once or twice I turn the car on. I throw it in drive and roll up the ramp to the top. Getting out the car I pull the cross and put the 'ground' back to cover up the bunker's entrance. The plane is in the air now. Now that everything's back in place I light a cigar. I get in the car, take a deep drag off the cigar, and start driving down the road. I take another drag, then start adjusting my rearview mirror. Then I look at my watch and think......

Hmm....Any second now......

*BOOOOOOMMM*

I don't like loose ends.......

 

[SuperFerret]

Mount Everest

The man known the world over as "Superman" sat at the highest peak in the world, alone, now more than ever. He was the last survivor of an extinct planet, but throughout his life, he had friends, allies, family, people who were there so he would never feel alone. But now, with Lois gone, he truly felt alone. Yes, he did still have his adoptive parents, the Kents, but he began to feel that his presence put those nearest to him in danger. So he came here to think, to clear his mind, to reflect. I'm not Batman, he thought, I shouldn't be this good at brooding. And he sat alone. Alone with his thoughts. Alone with his memories.

Elsewhere

The field was filled with pretty yellow flowers. Superman sat amid them, or at least he thought that Superman was there. In actuality, he was Bizarro, a twisted mirror image of the Man of Steel, but he thought of himself as Superman. Always. He hated flowers. He picked one and smelled it. He hated the way flowers smelled. He bit the flower and chewed it for a while. He hated the way flowers tasted. A small rabbit came hopping by, the little creature sniffed Bizarro's leg "BuNNy." He pet the bunny, but he patted it's head too hard and squashed it. The remains of the rabbit's head stained his hand. He smelled his hand. He hated bunnies. He hated the way they smelled. But, on the other hand, he liked how they tasted. And he took a bite.

Lex began reviewing his notes from the board meeting. He was focusing in one man...Mr. Loomis. It was no secret Loomis had wanted control of Lexcorp when Lex was the President and when he was on trail tried more than once to take over from Mercy.

Loomis was out of control and needed to be dealt with. He called his secretary and told her to leave a voice mail message for Hal Jordan to see him the minute he arrived. Lex had a job for him, and to convey a meeting of the board members for later that afternoon.

 

[Spike_x1]

Miraculously, Rudy Jones had accumulated enough energy to heal his broken leg. The energy itself seemed to be lasting longer as well as time went on. he had even started to feel healthier. Rudy had regained hope. To an extent.

He was still not even close to being a match against Corben.

Sitting in a crappy motel room that he had taken momentary refuge in after killing the manager, Rudy took a deep breath. He had to get away from the area. Head north. Get away from the metallo-bodied killer.

Just then, a knock was heard at the door to the room. Rudy knew who it was, but before the Parasite could react in any way, the door was shattered to splinters. John Corben stepped into the room, eyes glowing green and a smile on his face.

"Here's Johnny!"

Mt. Everest

He tried. Kal-El tried to block out the world. He truly didn't want to be bothered. It didn't sound too heroic, but he didn't care. But, despite his efforts, the sounds of the world invaded his sensitive ears. He picked up voices and sounds of animals. His ultra-sensitive ears even picked up radio signals. Dammit, he thought, I knew I should have gone to the Fortress. He lifted off the peak, and began to fly northward.

Holland

Bizarro wandered throughout the countryside. His small mind taking in all of nature's beauty. Eventually, he'll stumble across a small town. But not yet. He still had a few miles to cover.

What a differance a couple of weeks makes.

After telling J'onn he was taking a couple of weeks off and giving him a means to contact him incase he's needed after spending a day or two resting up from the Injustice League fight John spent that the week re-establishing his ties to earth. Using his emeral powers to mine enough gold and rare minerals to set up a series of bank accounts in Dakota City to make him independely wealth enough (though not rich) monitariy wise to live confortablely on. Then buying a small brownstone in that same city. Spending rest of that week modifiying it too his takes.

And spent his second week in space getting back into the grove of being a GL patroling the space area around earth. Which save for a few minor space pirates at it's far edges turned out to be a peaceful one. Alot more than what he could say for his own homeplanet. As that first week at home gave in enough time to catch up on current events. Which distressed him to see how bad things have gotten. Upon entering earth's orbit he turns back to take a finial look at the stars.

"Damn I can never get use to looking a this." he thinks to himself.

Then taking a finial look, John enters earth's atmosphere and heads to the JL's Watchtower to check in on things before heading home.


OOC: If it's alright with everone here. I'm going to try to keep up with this posting format (i.e attaching a pick to my first post of the day) for as long as I can.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

Why? Why did I nearly kill a man?

This thought ran though my mind the whole time. I set the Batmobile on auto-piolet to the Cave, so I could spend more time with this thought in my head.

Why? Why did I nearly kill a man?

The answer is simple; you became angry. You saw that son of a ***** celebrating the fact that he nearly killed an entire city, a city filled with millions of men, women, children...parents.

Dear God. I nearly killed a man with my bare hands. I didn't need any of my tools, all I needed then was my fists, my adredeline, and my instints, because my mind was not working at all. I lost all of the human side inside of me and let the blood-thursty beast...the blood-thursty BAT...control my body and my soul.

The worst thing about it? This Bat, this Beast...loved every second of it. The Bat was giggling inside of me at the sight of Nygma's blood spewing from his mouth. It was pleased by the pain and torture and vengence I was laying upon him.

I hate that Bat, I hate that Beast, and most of all...I hate myself.

I'm back in the Cave. My home. Yes. Not the mansion fit for human beings above, but the dark and chilly cave is my true home. If I am a beast, then I cannot live like a man, I must live like a beast.

I walk to the computer console. I turn it off. After all, what kind of animal you know uses computers? I go to the high bar, hang off it from my feet, and I realize what I am now.

I am a Bat.

OOC: This is an arc I think I'm going to do myself. I have ideas to possibly use:
The Bat-Family (with the exeption of Robin and Barbra if she joins like she says in the OOC thread) and possibly Martian Manhunter (is someone still in that role?). If you want part of this, just PM me and let me know.

 

[RoseRedStrauss]

[OOC]That last part is kinda creepy[/OOC]

Robin cursed himself that again Zoom is not there.

"I'm getting freakin tired of this, this ends now."

Occ: Rose pm me if you have any battle concepts

OOC: That's what I was going for.

 

[nixonbat]

Digger Harkness had finally chosen where to conduct his "mid-life crisis" test/vacation.

He had brooded over it for more than a week. He had gone from thinking it over with a few beers to emptying the entire stock of Foster's lager in a 20 mile radius.

He had weighed many factors, but in the end it all came down to what it always does for Captain Boomerang: Money.

He had considered South America, knowing that while testing himself and his skills down there, that he could also make a hefty profit running cocaine. But, he weighed the options on that, and figured it wasn't worth the payoff to have to deal with drug-dealing scum with guns and possible CIA troubles.

He had also considered Croatia, figuring that when not honing his craft he could make a decent profit as a mercenary. He then reconsidered, after realizing that NATO bombs wouldn't care that it wasn't his dispute.

He greatly considered parts of Asia. However, Communist China and tsunami ravaged Thailand, combined with North Korea's totalitarian government quickly dissuaded him of that notion. The risks outweighed the profits.

He had briefly thought about Europe...but knew Interpol would be onto him like flies on sh**.

One place kept coming back to him....Africa.

It seemed perfect for a man of his talents. He could work through his personal issues and turn a profit at the same time.

Jungles: Plenty of profit in poaching rare and endangered animal hides and tusks. Also indigenous tribes to hunt...people no one would miss.

Mercenary work: He could lease out his skills to whatever government or rebel factions paid the highest bounties. With most of the continent having an uprising every few weeks, he figured the work could prove to be quite lucrative.

And the the clincher: South Africa has more Diamonds than anywhere else in the world. All waiting for for an enterprising thief of his skills to take!!!

Yes, Digger had made up his mind. Captain Boomerang would hone his skills and leave his mark on the African continent.

'The buggers will never know what hit 'em,' the thought smugly. And with that, he got his affairs in order...fake passports, spending money, transportation...and he was off.

TO BE CONTINUED........

Robin cursed himself that again Zoom is not there.

"I'm getting freakin tired of this, this ends now."

Occ: Rose pm me if you have any battle concepts

[OOC]Lol, well first off, I don't understand why Robin is so gung-ho about looking for Zoom only after he got in town. I'm not even sure how Robin knew Zoom was going to be in Keystone, but I have a good idea for starting a battle, I'll pm you about it.[/OOC]

*The next day, after many people discovered they've been pickpocketed.*

*Hunter Zolomon is in the Keystone Library looking up the latest tabloids on the Flash's whereabouts. He still smiled when he came up to the pants incident. Angered that nothing has popped up, he decides to go faster.*

*Seconds later.*

Hunter, "DAMMIT!"

The Librarian, startled at the outcry, goes, "SHH!" only to find seconds later she'd be lying dead on the floor.

Hunter, "Oops, and slipped." He quickly takes the body to the nearby river/lake/ocean/body of water, and dumps her in.

"Damn, too careless."

 

[MST3K 4ever]

Luthor readies his notes for the board meeting and a tape recorder when Dr. Lauren Hatcher comes storming into Lex's office screaming, "IT WORKS! IT WORKS! MR. LUTHOR I DID IT I DID IT!"

Candice Luthor's secretary comes in saying, "DR. Hatcher stop right now...you can't just barge in like that. I am calling security right away Mr. Luthor!"

She leaves and Lex grabs Hatcher by the arms and says, "Dr. Hatcher get control of yourself! What have you done?"

Hatcher catches her breathe and says, "I am sorry sir, but when you have to hear what I am about to tell you I am sure you'll be just as happy."

Luthor motions for Dr. Hatcher to sit down. Security and Candice enter the office and Luthor says, "It's all right Candice, thank you." They leave and Luthor motions for Dr. Hatcher to continue.

She says, "Well Mr. Luthor for the last eight years I have been developing systems and technology that would enable people suffering from paralysis to regain full range of motion. There were hints and signs that we were on the verge of something but it would alway slip away. A lab animal would gain motion and range for a day or two but then it would revert to it's previous state. Well this morning this I had a breakthrough sir." He takes out a lab rat that begins scurrying all over the office. Dr. Hatcher says, "We would paralyze the animal with an assortment of drugs that would simulate severe spinal inuries in humans. This morning we used a nanotechnolgy chip along with optic fibers within the bone and spinal column. We also used a serum which we have been testing for weeks that stimulates nerve impulses in the injured areas. Sir..." She pulls out a file and show Lex a series of papers "look everything is as though the injury never occured...we have had a breakthrough!"

Lex takes the folder and he is amazed at what he is reading, "Oh my,,,Dr. Hatcher this is extraordinary work my dear! You and your team are to be comended...what are the side-effects?"

Hatcher says, "None! Well except the time that I would take for someone to rehab...the muscles need to get used to working again...other than that...none of the kind. Sir I was wondering....and I was hoping you would agree to sign-off on something, I want to begin human trials as soon as we can."

Luthor replies, "Well I need the board of directors to approve it as well. However I am meeting with them today, and I will arrange it so you can present your findings and if they agree to it...then I say let's begin with human trials as soon as we can. This is most prmising indeed good work again Lauren...very well done."

She stands up and says, "Thank you sir. If you will excuse me I have 8 years of work to condense into an afternoon presentation."

Luthor says, "By all means my dear...be ready by no later than 2pm"

She nods and leaves Lex's office.

 

[Phantasm]

IC: Barbara Gordon

"Are you sure about this?" Dad asks yet again,his eyes look earnestly into mine from over the top of his rather large glasses.

"Yes!More than I have been about anything else!" I bite on my lower lip anxiously all the while keeping his gaze firmly locked with mine.

"What about the side effects then? I mean, this-"He shakes his head as if trying to make sense of something, "this has never been done before. If you sign up now you will be one of the first humans to have gone through with the procedure-"

"There is no risk involved!It says so here-" I point at the article in his grasp.

"Thats how these thing go Barb, they don't let the public in on potential risks until they have to!" The flat of his palm rests on my shoulder,"You are a smart woman Barbara,you know better than to-"

I heave a frsutrated sigh.There were many things dad and I didn't see eye to eye but this...he should understand it. "Dad...this may be my only chance to lead a normal life again."

My gaze drops to rest on the metal chair I sit on.It is times like this when I wonder how one can actually come to hate something can uplift you and still have you so painstakingly confined.

Dad's large age spekcled hand rests on mine, his thumb grazing my knuckles. "Look Barb...I just don't want you to get disapointed...It is LuthorCrop after all... you know what alright.If you want to go ahead and give this...this procedure a shot then I want you to know that I'm ...I'm all for it."

A grin spreads across my face. "You are not 'all for it'" I wrap my arms around him and bury my face into his neck. "But just the fact that you are willing to trust my desicions is all I need.Thanks Dad."
