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

[Supergirl]

OCC: I don't care what Geoff says, Power Girl is just Kara from the future.

OOC: Umm, even if you went with her pre-crisis origin she was never from the future. She may well be Kara, yes, but from Earth 2.

 

[Tropico]

OOC: She was Supe's cousin in Earth 2 where there was no Supergirl. She was a separate character no matter how much ret-conning they do.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Nice post, Trop, but you called Beast Boy "Garth" a bunch of times.

IC: As Black Adam dragged Cyborg's heavy form through the Tower, he felt a shiver down his spine. Turning, he saw Deathstroke and the Slade emerge from the receding shadows. "Ah, there you are," Black Adam said to his companions. "I thought I was about to go insane trying to figure out up from down in this god-forsaken place. I see you've dispensed with your respective targets." He tossed Cyborg's form down beside those of Raven and Beast Boy. "I suppose all there is left to do now is wait. We should return to the surveillance room. In the event that the boy does not return alone, we must be prepared."

 

[Supergirl]

OOC: I was going to point out the addition of the "th" to Gar's name but you beat me too it Corp

IC: Bart and Kara walked down the street towards the tower. Kara just couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong though.

Aww I'm just being pessimistic. So far this has been the best day of my life on Earth.

They got to the entrance of the tower and stopped. Kara leaned over and kissed Bart goodnight.

"Yeah, well I better be getting back to Keystone City. Jay will be getting worried..."

"You can come in if you want, I want you to see my new room. Plus it takes you like two minutes to get home" She winks at Bart, and he thinks for a second.

"Aw what the hell? Why not? They know me well enough to know that I'm never on time" Bart grins back at Kara.

The teens enter the building, unaware of the dangers within.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Man, if it weren't for the major villians inside the tower, we might have seen something VERY interesting...

 

[Nightwing]

J'onn scanned the area with his mind for someone he could contact. Then he picked up The Flash. He was confused as to why he could only reach Flash but he quickly came to the assumption he was stuck within the speed force. "Flash this is J'onn. I require your help in a certain matter. I seem to be stuck within your speed force. no one can see or hear me and my body must be going too fast for my telepathy to reach any other living being. Please come to the tower. or send me through thought the way that i can get out."

OOC: Over to you flash.

 

[Dwarf lord]

Raven was sorting through her books when she felt Cyborg's flash of pain. There was a feeling of intense rage behind it and she wondered why she didn't feel it before. She focused her empathic abilities and prepared to teleport to them...

She suddenly caught something at the edge of her senses and 'ported out just in time as Slade's fist almost connected with her. The disruption to her concentration made her jaunt a short one and she appeared just outside her door. Before she could recoup Slade was through the door. It still sent chills through her spine how undetectable this man was, he made no noise at all even while charging at her and she could barely feel any emotions from him. She 'ported again, this time to the end of the hall where she pressed some buttons in the terminal: "Titans, Deathstroke has infiltrated the tower! I'm at..."-Slade's sword went through the intercom, Raven barely dodged it.

Gar stood up as he heard the intercome blare. He stepped out of his room and skidded to a halt as he saw the shade standing there in a composed manner. "Hello!"- said Shade cheerfully. "Who the...?"- Beast Boy's exclamation got cut short as Shade raised his arm and a spray of shadow bolts traveled towards the green hued youngster. He turned into a billy goat and charged Shade. Shade stood his ground and moved at the last moment. He raised his hands and said OLé as Gar crashed into the wall. Gar roared heartily as he turned into a lion and pounced at Shade. Shade threw a shadow bolt that hit Beast Boy mid air and Shade stepped aside to completely avoid the falling body. Gar landed on all fours and turned into a cheetah and scrambled towards Shade. The reaction was too fast and Shade fell to the floor with the green feline on top of him. Shade had his cane in the cheetah's mouth and was pushing it trying to keep the youngster away.

At the same time, Raven was being kept too busy to summon her soul self and was scrambling to keep away from Deathstroke. She knew she was being toyed with and hoped that it would lead to Slade's downfall. Just as the thought had crossed her mind she had rounded a corner in a mad dash and had enough time to summon her soulself. It flew forward as Deathstroke rounded the corner. The assassin didn't lose his stride as he tucked, rolled and kept going. He threw some darts at the young girl and Raven slumped to the floor, unconscious.

Shade grimaced with the excertion of keeping the boy away. He could feel the claws digging in to him, he wouldn't hemorrage to death...but the pain was still annoying. He had wanted to summon demonic shadow wolves to help him, but that would render his plan useless. A large black bird started to come from out of the floor and when it neared them, Beast Boy jumped back. To Gar's surprise the bird by-passed the Shade and continued on to him. "What is it? Do we have to get out of here?"- Beast Boy said nervously. The "raven" suddenly displayed vicious eyes and a gaping beak lined with ferocious teeth. Instead of getting the satisfaction of a horrified face, what Shade got was a young man whose heart seemed to break as he said softly: "Oh, no! Raven...not again." The bird of prey knocked the boy out with a mighty swing from it's beak. "Mission accomplished."- Shade said. He approached Beast Boy and saw the nasty gash on his forehead. A tear ran down Beast Boy's cheek and there was no laughter in the Shade's. He let the shadows embrace them both as he teleported where Black Adam was.

OCC: Did we explain how Raven came back? Early last season I (as Green Arrow) killed her.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The Joker woke up, feeling energetic and refreshed. Yawning, he switched off the explosive charge on the doorway. He showered and got dressed, then walked into the main living area of his secret lair. What was he going to do now?

Then it hit him. The Joker realised that Gotham was in a state of terror. Everyone was insane, chaos was spreading through the streets. While in Arkham, he'd thought about how lovely it would be if the world got a taste of what it was like inside his head. Well, now it was happening. And what was he doing? Sleeping! He should be in the heart of Gotham, making the most of the panic, making it worse!

It was time to take action. The Joker exited the secret room, bounding down the stairway and out of the mansion. He walked round behind the house, to what had ocne been farmland. Now, it was an unkempt feild, full of long grass turned brown with neglect. In the field, something was covered with a canvas drape. The Joker pulled off the drape, revealing a small crop duster.

He hopped inside, pulling on a flight cap and goggles. He had a bag of grenades in the cockpit with him, and he had the tanks full of his trusty Joker Venom. He'd be fertilising some Gothamites tonight. HA HA!

The plane sputtered to life, as The Joker took to the skies, heading for Gotham City.

"Up, up and away! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

 

[TheCorpulent1]

OCC: Did we explain how Raven came back? Early last season I (as Green Arrow) killed her.

OOC: Uh... same way she came back in the comic?

 

[Savage]

*Hmm. Weeelll everyone seems to be doing their own thing and since I'm no longer needed here, I'll just be on my--GAH!*

"Flash this is J'onn. I require your help in a certain matter. I seem to be stuck within your speed force. no one can see or hear me and my body must be going too fast for my telepathy to reach any other living being. Please come to the tower. or send me through thought the way that i can get out."

*...Oookaaayyy. Way too many questions to know where to start. Damn it, how the hell did he get in there? Gonna have to head over to the watchtower to investigate first. This is one thing I don't want to be brash about. The speed force wants me and once I'm in, it doesn't let go. The only reason that I've ever been able to come back is...was...Linda...I am really going to need some help on this.*

Flash-"Watchtower: Flash. Transport 1."

*As soon as I'm at the watchtower I look for it's biggest science whiz.*

Flash-"Ray."
The Atom-:Looking up from microscope:"Walter. What can I do you for?"
Flash-"I need your help."
Atom-"Well I'd think so. No-one exactly asks me out for coffee or a beer anymore."
Flash-"Yeah well everyone's kinda been keeping on their toes as of late."
Atom-"Yeah, yeah...So what's the prob?"
Flash-"It's J'onn."
Atom-"Yeah, I know. Coma. Mind blast thing."
Flash-"It's not that. He's gone. He's lost."
Atom-"..."
Flash-"...He said he's in the speed force."
Atom-"...Wow...Why'd you come to me?"
Flash-"Well seeing as you're the resident mad scientist around here--
Atom-"...:raises an eyebrow:"
Flash-"...Sorry."
Atom-"Continue."
Flash-"I figured you'd help me find some way of coming back like--I dunno--tie me to something."
Atom-"Tie you to somethg. Tie you to something.You know, that just might work."
Flash-"...Really?"
Atom-"Nope."
Flash-"-_-"

Atom-"You've encountered the speed force before right?"
Flash-"Yeah."
Atom-"And needless to say, going in is easier than coming out."
Flash-"Oh yeah."
Atom-"So how were you able to get out?"
Flash-"...It's hard to explain...Linda and I--We had...like this psychic link or something...I just thought of her and it made it easier to get out...Like she was reaching her hand out to me or something..."
Atom-:deep in thought:"Hmm...Yes...Yes, I just may have what you're looking for..."

*He searches through his mountains of junk and inventions he's either only used once or just never used.*

Atom-"...rrriiiiight...HERE!"
*He pulls out this big ass helmet with cords and wires hanging off of it.*
Flash-"...I'm sorry. Am I supposed to wear that?"
Atom-"Well it's not exactly making a fashion statement but it gets the job done. You see what it does is it gives the wearer a psychic connection back to it's base of...wherever really. In this case my home computer here."
Flash-"Wait, is that the one with Windows XP?"
Atom-"No."
Flash-"Okay continue."
Atom-"Do you still have that treadmill of yours? The space, time...thing?"
Flash-"The Cosmic Treadmill."
Atom-"Yes! That!"
Flash-"Yeah, I have it around here somewhere. Didn't want another Zoom on my hands."
Atom-"Okay so you put this on right? You use the treadmill to enter the speed force, you find J'onn and you're out of there like that!"

Flash-"Sounds like a plan."
Atom-""
Flash-"One problem."
Atom-"Yes?"
Flash-"To get in contact with the speed force I'll have to go as fast as I can and this here :holding up the helmet: isn't exactly the most aero-dynamic."
Atom-"Oh...Yes. I can see how that would be a problem. I'll get on it right away."
Flash-"I'll help."
Atom-"..."
Flash-"What?"
Atom-"This is more like the kind of thing I'd do with Barry. The man was a genius. And you Wally, are no Barry.
Flash-"Hey, hey, hey, now I'm not the biggest science whiz in the world...But hanging out with Barry I've picked up a thing or two."
Atom-"...:sighs:Alright if you insist...Pass me the hemostatic forceps."
Flash-"...:searches around:...:Hands Atom a hammer:"
Atom-":Looks at Hammer:...:Looks at Flash:"
Flash-"..."
Atom-"...We may be here a while."

 

[Savage]

He hopped inside, pulling on a flight cap and goggles. He had a bag of grenades in the cickpit with him, and he had the tanks full of his trusty Joker Venom. He'd be fertilising some Gothamites tonight. HA HA!

The plane sputtered to life, as The Joker took to the skies, heading for Gotham City.

OOC: God...Damn!

 

[Supergirl]

OOC: Man, if it weren't for the major villians inside the tower, we might have seen something VERY interesting...

OOC: What? Maybe a "quickie"? ((sorry bad pun...)) I assure you my intentions are nothing but innocent

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The three Dark Allies returned to the surveillance room and watched the monitors. Finally, two figures walked up to the Tower's main entrance. "There," Black Adam said pointing to one of the monitors. "It seems our errant speedster has brought company, however. Neither is in costume, however, so I can't be sure of who the girl is or what--"

"It's Supergirl," Slade assured his companions, who returned inquisitive looks at his confidence. "I've been hearing rumors that Supergirl's been sighted alongside the Titans a lot lately. Pretty young blond about Supergirl's age shows up with Kid Flash now. You think that's just a coincidence, it's probably time for me to throw my lot in with a smarter crowd."

"Very well, then. I will hold Supergirl off while you two go about your business. Agreed?"

 

[Keyser Soze]

The Joker flew back into Gotham City. He saw chaos beneath him. There was rioting, fighting in the streets. People were running around like headless chickens, in blind terror. And boy, did he love it! Scarecrow had done a fine job, before he stabbed him in the back that is. And now The Clown Prince Of Crime was here to take things one step further. Yes, the carnage on the streets of Gotham was wonderful, but one thing was missing. Smiles. Lot and lots of nice...big...smiles.

With a twisted laugh, he released the Joker Venom, flying the crop duster over the crowds. Quickly, the rioting stopped. The fighting stopped. The screaming stopped. Everything was replaced with a brief bout of insane laughter. And then, an eerie silence. The streets were now full of dead bodies, full of those awful grins. And the only sound that could be heard came from the monster who killed them.

"When you're smiling, when you're smiiiiiling, the whole world smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles, with you! Sing with me now! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

He switched off the laughing gas for now. No use in wasting it. With his laughter rising, The Joker flew off in search of more victims.

 

[Supergirl]

The three Dark Allies returned to the surveillance team and watched the monitors. Finally, two figures walked up to the Tower's main entrance. "There," Black Adam said pointing to one of the monitors. "It seems our errant speedster has brought company, however. Neither is in costume, however, so I can't be sure of who the girl is or what--"

"It's Supergirl," Slade assured his companions, who returned inquisitive looks at his confidence. "I've been hearing rumors that Supergirl's been sighted alongside the Titans a lot lately.

"Very well, then. I will hold Supergirl off while you two go about your business. Agreed?"

OOC: Damn you, I forgot I'm in a dress... oh well, as Lois once said, "Let's see Dirty Harry do that! IN A DRESS!"

IC: They entered the building and something didn't feel right. It was quiet, a word never used when Gar is involved. Even if he was in his own room doing something he was loud. The empty pizza boxes in the front room said that someone had already done the standard daily pizza run. "Wonder where Gar is? Not like he has any other friends that he could be hanging with..."

"C'mon, you'd rather he were here to give you crap about going out with me? Because you know he would."

They got to her room, now looking like a college girls dorm room. The walls were decorated with posters of stars and heroes that Kara adored, from Viggo Mortenson to Kyle Rayner. Her desk was empty except for three pictures. The first was the team photo of the Titans, taken moments after she joined. The second was a picture of Bart and the third was a picture of Wonder Woman and Superman, with Kara in between. Bart saw the one of him and turned beet red.

 

[Dwarf lord]

After his conversation with Hal, Alan Scott flies to Keystone to meet his friend, Jay Garrick. Little did he know, Ted Grant, Rex Tyler, and Carter Hall were waiting for him too.

"Alan? Where the hell have you been? We've been trying to contact you since the madness began," Jay said with worry. He was trying to contact him since the big Raven incedent monthes ago.

"I was in space. I had to clear my head. After my wife, Molly, was killed by Duela Dent, I couldn't work. I needed some time to think," Alan put his head in his hands and Jay, Ted, Rex and Carter walked over to comfort their friend.

"It's okay, Alan. I understand what it's like to lose a wife," Carter reflected.

"I'm fine now. You say there's trouble. Point me the right direction."

 

[Tropico]

The three Dark Allies returned to the surveillance team and watched the monitors.

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.

 

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite's cab arrived at a dilapidated warehouse at Hob's Bay. Still in his flight attendant guise, Rudy got out of the taxi and reached into the driver's window, presumably to pay the man. However, to the driver's surprise, the Parasite grabbed onto the cabbie's outstretched hand and drained the lifeforce from the man. Rudy belched loudly and gave the vehicle a hard kick, sending it over the edge of the docks and into the water.

Bemused, Rudy strolled to the entrance of the warehouse and entered the code that Deadshot had given him into the keypad by the door. Rudy then entered the doorway that led to a small chamber. Knowing the procedure, Parasite shape-shifted back into his "normal" form in order for the DNA scanners to properly identify him.

A red beam of light scanned him up and down until satisfied with his identity. As the beam shut off, the second doorway to the room opened, allowing Rudy to go into the Taskforce X's temporary station Alpha. Waiting for the Parasite was Deadshot, seated at a table in the center of the warehouse.

Rudy walked towards Lawton with a smartass smile on his face. "I take it you've heard the good news about my fight with Henshaw?" He sat down at the other side of the table across from Deadshot.

"Yeah, Jones. we heard. Now, would you care to share with us what you drained from his brain?"

The Parasite pondered for a moment before answering. "How's about you let me go free and I'll consider telling you guys what I know?"

Deadshot brought his wrist-magnum up, aiming squarely at the Parasite's head.

"Alright, alright! I admit that was a stupid question." Rudy sighed and continued, "It was kinda weird with Henshaw. I actually didn't get anything useful from his mind. No real decernable information that I could put into a rational thought. All I got were small flashes of something coming from across the stars. The rest of it was just a mess in his head."

Deadshot stared blankly at Rudy through his silver mask. "Hmm. Perhaps we can help to clean up that mess..."

The Parasite heard footsteps coming up from his rear. He turned around to see two large men covered in gleaming protective armor. They grabbed onto Rudy and dragged him into the back of the warehouse where many torturous experiments surely awaited the Parasite in order to fish those thoughts out of his brain.

"Aw, crap."

 

[TheCorpulent1]

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.

OOC: SHENANIGANS! I fixed it.

IC: Black Adam stood outside the door and balled his fists, waiting, watching for shadows in the otherwise well-lit corridor. Supergirl's power approached Superman's, Adam knew. He had magic on his side, but still... this would not be easy. He'd have to strike hard and fast to put her down quickly, just like he had with Cyborg.

 

[PFunk2]

"So what happens now." John thinks to himself as he watches both Hal and Alan fly off and Flash T-port back to the Watchtower. Leaving him (with a few other heros) in the center of a Gotham city with a out of control population.

"First I have to know who''s actually here." And putting a hand to his temple he makes contact with the Watchtower.

"Jo'nn, John Stewart here." he says thru the list. "I have a plan on calming down Gotham's population but I need to know an exact list on what hero's are operating in Gotham right now. Please reply." he asks, attentively waiting for a response.

 

[Dwarf lord]

*Alan flies up behind Hal*

"You wanted to talk?"

 

[twylight]

Alan Scott is flying over his old stomping ground, Gotham City. A lot has changed since he left 50 years ago. Where it was once a prospering metropolis, it's now a safe haven for crime and injustice. He swoops down to the streets and sees Black Canary, The Flash, and GL.

"Wally, John, Dinah. Just tell me one thing. Who do I hit?"

OOC: Wait...maybe you should backlog abit..Dinah is alone in an alley...waiting for Batman to release the antidote and/or someone to find her *Hint Hal Hint* ...BTW she's kind of in a sleepy/coma type thing.

OOC:I'm not a frequent Nightwing or Birds of Prey reader, so tell me if I got the facts surrounding the Dick/Babs relationship messed up and I'll amend accordingly. Twy...I hope you don't mind Babs trying to interact with Dinah...

OOC: Dick and Babs broke up...but hey! We have a Clocktower in the RPG that was destroyed in the comics..so.. Use you're imagination.
Also, You can Try to interact with Dinah but like I said to D.L. She's not useing all of her facultys right now. Also you should find Batman's message on the computer. So you'll know what's going on. JKR posted it just a few pages back. Nice to have you back.

 

[Batman]

OOC: Dick and Babs broke up...but hey! We have a Clocktower in the RPG that was destroyed in the comics..so.. Use you're imagination.

OOC:...They did?

Oh s**t......I referenced their relationship during my Ra's arc.....


Meh......Maybe we can get back together.....or just say we did a few months ago......that can save Phantasm and myself some editing time.....

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Ok, you have to admit, I really waiting for our Scarecrow to come back, but my itch is too strong for me not to scratch now.

IC:

Scarecrow looked at the dead body. “You bastard!” yelled Crane. He walked over to the van and held the Joker in place, “I brought a little present for you just incase you turned on me,” Crane took out a jar from his sack. It was a glowing green liquid. “It will burn your skin right off,” The Scarecrow got out of the car. Taking a little silver ball out of his pocket, he filled it with the green acid. Then with out second though, he threw the ball right at the van. A loud explosion rumbled the block, and the car was slowly breaking into liquid metal. No sign of the Joker, this will not be good. He turned around to see Batman.

Taking off the burlap mask, Dr, Jonathan Crane said, “I can help you cure these people,”

"You do realize that after this is all over, I'm taking you back to Arkham."

"I understand, I just don't want these people to be afraid now."

He seems to truely believe this. Maybe he has started to rehabilitate? There's little chance, but, like Barbara said to me a few days ago, even the most pessimistic individual has his optimistic moments. I press a button in my ultility belt and seconds later the Batmobile speeds next to us. Crane sits in the passanger seat and I quickly snap a pair of cuffs on.

"Safety precaution. Don't blame me for being paranoid." I reply.

It's then when I hear a groaning sound from behind me. I look and I see a woman on the floor, wrapping her legs in a fetal position. I reconize her. Dinah Lance. The Black Canary.

"Dinah!" I run towards her. She's passing in and out of conchince, mumbling about "Ollie" and "Mom." The gas in the air must be affecting her, attracting her worst fears and all the painful demons. I pick her up and take her with me inside the Batmobile, still wrapped in my arms. I press a few buttons and in seconds the Batmobile speeds away on an auto-piolet towards Wayne Pharmicudicals.

She's not in good shape. Her eyes are dilated and she's sweating like crazy. I take my glove off and try to wipe the sweat off her face. It won't do anything, but it's something.

A few minutes, a dash through an empty lobby, and a two minute ride on an elevator later, we arrive at one of the R&D floors of WP. It's the only place I can think of where we can mass produce the cure.

"I will need an extra pair of hands to speed the process," Crane says, setting up chemicals and beakers. I lay Dinah on one of the tables, trying to calm her. Sundenly, I remember: The antidote. I still have the vial of it from the Theatre. Maybe...

"Crane, do you need some of the antidote to make more?"

"No, I believe I have the ingredients nessesary."

Relieved, I take out the vial from my ultility belt and open Dinah's mouth, slowly letting the serum in. She coughs for a moment, probably from the taste and her lying down. I keep her down and try to rub her throat, so it can go into her system faster. She eventually sighs and her hurtfull groans are silenced.

"How long does it take for the serum to completely work?"

"Less than a half-hour. Now will you please assist me? Four hands are quicker than two." I brush some loose hair around Dinah's face and leave her to help Crane.

I'm not sure how I noticed with all the mayhem--it must have been a small glance--but I still noticed in a window a small plane flying across Gotham, with a similar pasty white face pioleting it...

"Attention all units in Gotham," I call out in my comm, "The Joker is currently flying an airplane just beside Wayne Pharmacudicals. Stop him and detain him. I am still working on the cure for this virus. Batman out."

With that, I turn back to Crane and start with preparing incrediants. Hopefully we can stop this plague before Gotham turns into a permenant madhouse.

 

[Phantasm]

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...
