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

[DarkKnightJRK]

I race out of the city like a bat out of hell, pardon the pun. As I drive out of Gotham and closer to the Cave, I see Robin speeding in the oppisate direction on his cycle.

"Robin! Head back to the cave!"

At that point I reach the tunnel and slow down slightly. Hitting the cave at 180 miles per hour probably wouldn't help matters much. By the time I reach the platform, I leap out of the Batmobile and head for the medicines. I can almost hear Kara saying something to me about the sedatives wearing off, but I can't really hear her, I'm too focused on the task at hand. I found what I was looking for: fear gas serum in a smeller form; no needle on this Earth (without Kryptonite, that is) could break through Clark's skin. I jump back to Kara and the twitching form of Superman.

"Kara, keep him still while I give him the antidote." She does so and I put the antidote to his nostril and press the button that releases the serum into his system. I relax for a second until I lift Clark up and put him on the medical table. He's stopped twitching and seems to be asleep.

"The antidote will work faster on him, so he'll be back on his feet in a couple of hours." I turn back to Kara. "Now that we have that under control, what are you doing here, Kara?"

 

[Supergirl]

"Well WGBS had a teaser lead in of Superman fighting the Scarecrow, so I decided to come see if he needed help. It's a good thing I did. Now that I'm here is there anything else you need me to do?"
She was always uncomfortable around Batman, for some reason he still doesn't trust her.The last time I was here, it was after he nailed me with Kryptonite so that he could run tests. I hate this place, its so dark and gloomy.

Luthor slipped on the battle-suit and he smirked. He couldn't explain it but it felt like a second skin. He began firing at targets. Lasers, freeze rays, heat rays, shrink rays. Engaging defensive modes. Camoflauge, invisio-armor, force fields. He felt like a kid in a candy store.

I wonder what I could do with this suit? I wonder indeed? I wonder how can help others...or even... He shakes his head and engages his flight mode.

I think about this for a moment: would she be ready to face some of the worst Gotham has to offer? Considering how bad the situation is here at the moment, I'm not sure if I have much choice.

"There has been a break out in Arkham Asylum. ALL of it's inhabitants have escaped. While the rest of us and the GCPD are going to get the dangerous one's, the rest of the city will be at risk. The police will be too spent with Arkham to handle any other happenings that could happen. I want you to basically do patrolling around the city, handeling the other things while we're handling Arkham. Think you can do it?"

 

[Supergirl]

"With all due respect Batman, don't you think I could be more help with the bigger enemies than with common street thugs?" He really doesn't trust me or my abilities. I thought he'd take solace in the fact that I'm not the dog. "But yes I can do the patrol." At least it gets me out of this cave...
Without waiting for an answer she lifts off to leave. He's smart enough to know that he can answer while I leave and I'll still hear him, I'd wait around but from the sound of it I'm needed. She heads off in the direction of the gunshot she heard a mile away.

Digger Harkness was a happy man again. He had just won 5 large on a rugby match and it felt good to him. In the final minutes his team had performed 2 crucial scores to get the win. Digger was so elated he bought a round of drinks for the entire bar. The atmosphere was warm and friendly...everyone seemed to enjoy the generosity of 'Mr. Franklin.' And Digger knew how to host a good party graciously. It was one of his charms. He was, after all, a man of action . Whether it was gambling, robbery, women, parties, or battles, Digger preferred to be in the thick of things. He liked the action. When he came up a winner, he celebrated, when he lost, he chalked it up to experience and moved on to find his next action. He lived an exciting life and he enjoyed it.

Harkness had found his calling life early and counted himself lucky. He had felled the original Flash with a boomerang at an exhibition and his course in this life was set. He was a mover and shaker in the fast track. A man of action and nobody's fool. Although he had encountered losses and setbacks, he had few regrets about how he had lived his life. He felt himself to be a fortunate individual that lived life on his own terms.

The news came on..."CNN Africa reporting...John Stewart has declared success in his righting of the affairs in the region of Nigeria... his efforts have had positive results throughout many troubled areas on the African continent even extending to long troubled Rwanda. There are, however, still certain factions that continue to resist the forced peace. Governmental peace keeping forces are attempting to quell recent protests by partisan factions that are opposed to outside interference...."

Digger took note of the broadcast. He would have to see if there was work available among the disgruntled parties involved. He'd be willing to work either side of the fence...they just needed to have cash.

He sipped his drink and pondered the possibilities...


TO BE CONTINUED.....


OOC: Ready anytime Twy...looking forward to actually interacting with another player....lol. I think we can have our arc done before you leave for your Grandparents anniversary. Cya.

"I can help you with the big ones Bruce." said Tim coming up behind them.

"I might not be at 100% but I can still fight."

 

[twylight]

"I'm not really in the mood for baby-sitting, but what the hell...."

*Green Lantern beams Robin to Wayne Manor*

"There. Now I have some plans to work on..."

Dinah turned to see the chair Tim had occupied as empty.

Smiling she said "Do you answer every girls request so fast? Anyway, thanks, I'll see if I can do anything for you, when I get back."

She walked to the Pilot's seat and prepped for take-off.

half an hour later as the plane took to the air from the small island, Dinah leaned back with a slight sigh of relief. Tim was taken care of, however the situation in Gotham had her worried, she was sure Bruce and Dick could handle it.

Standing up she retrieved a glass of water and picked up some papers on Digger Harkness.


Hours later Dinah set the plane down on a small dirt runway on the outskirts of a town. After taxiing it near what looked like what used to be a hanger, and now what looked like a building made of toothpick, she picked up her bags. Stepping out of the plane the heat seemed to roll over her.

Walking to the road she flagged down a beat up truck to get a ride into town on.


OOC: Not a great post, but hopefully it'll get this rolling..

 

[Supergirl]

Supergirl gets to where the gunshot went off, and finds a teenage girl, probably around her own age, bleeding from her stomach.
I have to get her to Gotham Metropolitan Hospital, and soon, or she'll die. Then I'll find out who shot her and why. Supergirl lifts the teen and flies fast, but not too fast to the hospital. The doctors start to prep the surgery to remove the bullet, but Kara interupts.
"I can see the bullet and remove it much quicker than you can, let me try please?"
They step aside, and using her X-ray vision, Kara pinpoints the bullet and uses forceps to quickly remove it. "There you go, sirs. Now, I'll just cauterize the wound so you can stitch it up easier" With that she uses her heat vision to lightly cauterize the gunshot and seal the wound for the moment. Before the doctors can thank her she's out the window, bullet in hand. Less than four minutes had passed since she had found the girl.
Hmmm, the caliber matches a .44.
She does a quick sweep of the area where she found the girl and only one person was hiding a concealed weapon.

 

[nixonbat]

OOC: Welcome to balmy Africa !!! I'm not into hitting females, but you'll be an exception. heh. Seriously though, looking forward to seeing what you do with Dinah...it's been awhile since either of us have dealt with other players in combat, so I'm looking forward to the chess aspects of our encounter. Cya round little birdie.

Somewhere in a dark alley a strange dark figure lurks in the shadows with a trench coat, suddenly a mugger came


“Give me ya money!”

“Why?” came the quiet reply

“Then I’ll slit your………” the man couldn’t finish because the figure already shot him


The figure came out of the shadows………..


Thomas Elliot was back HUSH was back and he had big plans for a giant BAT!

"I can help you with the big ones Bruce." said Tim coming up behind them.

"I might not be at 100% but I can still fight."

"I'm know you can, Tim, but perhaps you should have Alfred look over your injuries first."

 

[Twitch]

"I'm fine Bruce."I said firmly and a little annoyance in my voice. I stopped myself, I never take that kind of tone with Bruce. What happend to me? I brushed it aside and put on a mask of intent.

"Ready to go whenever you are."

 

[MST3K 4ever]

Luthor finished testing the new suit and he was more than satisfied with the results.

He told Dr. McCall to keep it in safe storage for now and for some reason he couldn't figure out why he told her not to tell anyone that it worked so well. That if anyone asked about it she was to say there were technical problems and that it would be months maybe even years before it was back up and running. Failure to follow these orders would result in her termination.

As Luthor went to his office all he kept feeling was the Power in that suit....unreal....I can feel that power in me now...calm down Lex this is not the way for a business man to act...it's the suit...or was it me the whole time?

(OOC: Cue a very slow version of "The Imperial March)

 

[PFunk2]

John returned to the JL's watchtower (old version) and walked thru it's halls to see and talk with Jo'nn on a few things.

"Seeing that the Martian hasn't returned any of my comms just doesn't suit him." he thinks to himself. "Meaning that he's either busy or is elsewhere. Ether way I'm about to find out." John adds as he knocks on the door to Martian's Manhunter's quarters.

"Hey. Jo'nn. You there?"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

There's something wrong with Tim. I can tell. He sounded almost...annoyed. I can kind-of get why if he feels he's not too injured to fight, but normally he would at least keep a tone of respect. Now he almost sounds like a kid mad at his parent or something to that effect.

I should talk to him, but I can't right now. The Arkham inmates are still out and we have to put them back in the Asylum before the whole city dies.

"If you think you're up for it, then come with me. I'm sure you've been informed of what's happened." I turn on my comm to Barbra, "Barbra, is there any word on any of the Arkham inmates?"

 

[SuperFerret]

Superman stirred, groaning as he awoke. He felt as if he had been hit by a truck, but then again he had been hit by a truck once, and it didn't feel this bad. He looked around, taking in his surroundings.

He was in the BatCave. Batman and Robin stood over to the side talking about something, they both looked worried. Clark sat up.

"What happened?"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I'm so absorbed with my worry over Tim that I didn't notice Clark stirring until he spoke. I turned to him and told him what happened.

"You were hit with Scarecrow's fear gas. Luckily Kara found you and took you here so I could give you the antidote. That pain you're expirencing is just the antidote getting itself out of your system. Don't look so shocked that I know the sensation, I've had to take that antidote more times than I care to admit."

"Feels like the cure is worse than the disease. Where's Kara?"

 

[Supergirl]

The person with the gun, was also a teenager; maybe 18 at the most.
Certainly, not old enough to be carrying that weapon. Kara thought. He had a look of fearful regret on his face. He sure looks like he just did something hes sorry for.
She lands about ten feet in front of him.
"What's wrong, man? You look like you just ran over a dog."
A look of shear terror jumps into the kid's eyes."Wuhwhuwhat do you want? I don't have anything to talk to you about! Leave me alone! You ain't no cop. You can't prove that I did anything!"
"You sure are defensive for not having done anything." With that the teen pulls out his gun and fires the remaining five rounds at Kara's chest. Rather than allow them to bounce off and hit innocent people she catches the shells in mid air. A quick microscopic look at the shells reveals them to be identical to the one she took out of the girl. She then quickly scoops up the boy and lifts him several hundred feet into the air.
"So, why'd you shoot her?"
The kid, now even more petrified with fear, loses control of his bladder and wets the front of his pants. "If I tell you, will you still kill me?"
Is this the effect that Batman has on the citizens of his town? Do they truly believe that he would kill them? I guess thats what being a "scary urban legend" is all about.
"We were dating... her parents didn't aprove of me anyway, but we didn't care. Last month we did it, and I didn't have any, you know, preperation... And she got well um pregnant. I'm not ready for it, and she's not ready for it. I wasn't thinking, it was emotions only running through my head. Anger and fear mostly. I grabbed my dad's gun and shot her on our way home from the movie tonight. I didn't think I'd get caught, I was going to blame it on a mugger, there are alot of them around Gotham. Oh god, I don't wanna die. Please don't kill me."
Wow. This kid was so scared of the future that he just ruined three lives to lose the very same thing. "I won't kill you, but I AM going to take you to the station, where you're going to confess, or I won't make the same promise for Batman"

[Twitch]

While Bruce was talking to Superman I quietly retreated to the wepons room to restock. My hands touched and got smoke genades, flying discs, and small bombs. When I finished I went to the costume room and donned a fresh suit.
Then I went back to stand by Bruce.

IC:Barbara Gordon

"Barbra, is there any word on any of the Arkham inmates?" Batman's voice buzzes in my ear.

"Hold on a sec will you?" I search up all them, "Okay, Joker and Twoface are not causing any trouble at the moment, apparently atleast.Killer Croc, is reportedly out on a man-killing spree. Posion Ivy is causing Havoc in Robison Park;she's enlarged the surrounding trees and has their branches hit pedestrains-wow.erm...yeah that's it for now. You guys better get out there quick."
