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

[rigel7soldiers]

OOc: But where are you? Could I just stick with Batman?

 

[twylight]

OOC: Can someone guve me a rundown of what's happened? I had to go to summer school, so forgive me if I couldn't post

OOC: Lot's, for the full story go to page 125.

 

[twylight]

OOc: But where are you? Could I just stick with Batman?

OOC: JRK has been playing Batman as alone. In a previous post he expressed concern that Dr. Mid-Nite was blind and alone *still on the roof somewhere*

 

[rigel7soldiers]

"Hmm. What the Hell just happened? Ah, luckily, I have my eyeglasses with me."

Once I could see again, I was immediately concerned with Batman, and began to follow his trail. Why leave? He shouldn't be able to walk...

 

[twylight]

Dinah's words hit Kara deep. Tears rolled down her cheeks again, as she hugged the older hero.

"I've lost so much today, I was having the best day of my life and it crashed down, I should have been able to stop them. If not from killing Bart, then from killing Rachael, but I was being to reactive and not proactive, waiting for my cousin's permission. It hurts so much, how do you deal with it? Does it get easier?"

Mia has said so much in praise of Dinah, I now understand why. Mia, oh god both her and Dinah lost people close to them as well, how is Dinah coping with Roy? Damn me for being so selfish.

A tear slid down Dinah's face. Possibly the single most powerful being on the earth was asking her if it got easier.
"Being proactive can lead to other things, such as presuming too much. It's a fine balance and by no means is Raven's and Bart's death your fault."
She paused before answering the other questions.
"Everyone has their own way for dealing with it. Look at Batman, he dresses up like a bat. Other's just move on, living life as their friend would have wanted. When Ollie died, I tried my best to move on.
But it never get's easier and it shouldn't, because the moment it does, it means that a humans life has been cheapened and you become no better than the person who killed them"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

IC:

I've been driving alone, looking for the rest of the members. I'm not sure who else is here, things are still extremely hectic.

I'm trying to keep a cool head, but I'm worried. Who am I kidding? I'm scared half-s**tless.

Who knows who else has been taken as casulities? They already took out so many of us. And judging from how Mordu just took out Raven like that, it's safe to say some disturbed individual with a now screwed-up knee wouldn't hold a fight for two seconds.

So many of us are missing. Dinah's lost somewhere, Mid-Nite's blind somewhere. Tim's still with Ducard, who knows if he hasn't been taken by them already? Dick...he's been gone for so long...

I'm scared and clueless and I HATE IT.

I find one of the dots on the Batmobile's radar is just above me. I find Dinah standing with Kara, holding Raven's body.

"Dinah! Kara!" I yell out, getting their attention. I press on my comm., "Watchtower, I've found Kara and Dinah, we'll need transport."

 

[Supergirl]

"But I was there! I could have stopped them! I SHOULD have stopped them... I will stop them..." Kara started sobbing again, but quickly snapped herself out of it. "Mia is right to look up to you, she said you can make the hardest situations easier, and she's right. But now we should probably get back to the Watch Tower, I'd give you a lift but you wouldn't survive in space unprotected. Is there a javelin that we could use anywhere near here?"

"Mia is right to look up to you, she said you can make the hardest situations easier, and she's right. But now we should probably get back to the Watch Tower, I'd give you a lift but you wouldn't survive in space unprotected. Is there a javelin that we could use anywhere near here?"

Dinah smiled at the praise quickly adding "We'll all Stop them."
She'd never seen a burning look like that in Clark's eyes, and she was a little worried to see it in Kara's.
First things first however.

"Flash said the Javelin was parked at a park. We can take that, unless they changed the controls too much in the new version."

"Dinah! Kara!"

Turning Dinah saw Bruce on the ground.
"Bruce! Have you seen Pieter?

"Watchtower, I've found Kara and Dinah, we'll need transport."
Hearing Bruces call to the Watchtower over her comm, and assuming he meant the teleporter she said.
"Cancel that Watchtower, we have the Javelin still in Gotham."

 

[Supergirl]

OOC: I head off to work again, if anyone needs her feel free to bunny Kara.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Bruce! Have you seen Pieter?

"No, I haven't."

"Cancel that Watchtower, we have the Javelin still in Gotham."

"Alright, if you would jump down with me and direct me to the Javelin. We will probably be able to find Mid-Nite better with that."

 

[Phantasm]

OOC:I thought I transported them long ago...ahh.. well, I'll just edit then.

 

[twylight]

Kara flew Dinah down first and then flew back for Raven's corpse.

Turning to Batman Dinah looked at him worried.
"Are you okay?"

Kara returned and floated a distance off the ground holding Ravens remains.
Dinah could still see the pain in her eyes.

Making their way they soon found themselves at the park, and found the javelin.
Kara placed Ravens body on one if the medical beds in the back while Dinah slipped into the co-pilots seat.

OOC: I left it vague for you to move Bats as you would like. Also feel free to bunny Dinah..but nothing too serious, or you'll hear from me.

 

[twylight]

OOC:I thought I transported them long ago...ahh.. well, I'll just edit then.

OOC: You did, but we umm..ignored it. Because Cori and I had that little interlude planned.

 

[Spike_x1]

A blond, handsome man in sunglasses and dressed in an expensive looking suit watched as the heroes and villains fought and dispersed from the now demolished Gotham City Clocktower. He was a couple blocks away, leaning against a street light pole, smoking a cigarette.

The man blew smoke and put the cigarette out in the palm of his hand. He had completed his surveillance and observed the major players in action, and surprisingly noted that the heroes had been virtually crippled by their opponents, despite outnumbering them greatly.

'Heh. This is gonna be interesting.'

The Parasite tossed his cigarette butt into a garbage can and casually strolled into a nearby dark alley, where he transformed into his purple form and flew back to Metropolis, using the flight he had gained from Black Adam.

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Anyone wanna visit J'onn in infirmary?im feeling abit burnt and low so come chat to me.

OOC: I'll be right there...

 

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: Mordru blew Cyborg apart, but he can always be put back together again.
Just make sure you get someone other than a Wookie to do it, otherwise it'll never get finished.

 

[rigel7soldiers]

"Bruce! Have you seen Pieter?

"No, I haven't."

"Cancel that Watchtower, we have the Javelin still in Gotham."

"Alright, if you would jump down with me and direct me to the Javelin. We will probably be able to find Mid-Nite better with that."

I was confused. They just left me there, blind and more or less helpless against any attack? It feels weird questioning other people's motives, I'm the theif and robber... Still though. Very rude of them. I saw it fly past me, then come back a few seconds later. "What the Hell was that? You deserted me!"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

EDIT

 

[batnkevlar]

J'onn opens his eyes to an empty infirmary. His skin is blistered and sore. He, however is able to rise to his feet thanks to his alien DNA. He makes his way to the main control room. He is in his original alien form. "Anything I can help with?"

*Hal walks into the control center, exhausted.*

"You could try getting me a glass of water. I'm parched."

*Hal pulls up a seat and sits down, with his face burried in his hands*

"An innocent died today because of me, J'onn. All because I couldn't control my anger and my hatred."

*Hal chuckles a nervous laugh*

"Where's Liam Neeson when you need him?"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I watched as the two fly down towards me. Kara leaves for a moment to go back to the roof. Dinah slips inside the Batmobile and looks at the damn knee.

"Are you okay?" She looks worried. I think I'm oddly touched by that. I'm not sure why...I think.

"I've went through worse," I reply, "...but...thanks...for your concern."

Kara flew by again, holding Raven's body in her arms. I've heard Clark say before that flying helped him to think and be alone. Like cousin, like...cousin, I guess.

I follow Kara's flight pattern to the park with the Javilen.

That means I have to step out of the Batmobile and walk to it. With a shattered kneecap.

Oh, hell.

Dinah must have noticed, for she was about to walk over and help me. I look at her she understands. I need to do this myself. It still doesn't stop her from following just behind me though. I'll give her that much.

Minutes later, we're in the Javilen and I'm in the piolets seat, thanking every God I can think of that this thing doesn't require much footwork.

We fly off and circle around Gotham, looking for Mid-Nite. We find him a few minutes later we find him strangely enough looking at us. We fly low so that he could pick him up. Dinah slips from her co-piolet seat and reaches out to Mid-Nite.

Then, we're off to the Watchtower, with all our passangers in place.

"What the Hell was that? You deserted me!" Mid-Nite screamed out.

"No, we were searching for you." I reply. "There's is a subtle difference, you might be shocked to believe."

 

[Johnny Blaze]

The shadows receded. Shade just wanted to add to the bedlam, which he managed to do. He felt exhausted from controlling so many specific shadows instead of kust letting the creatures roam free. He went back to the tower and finished pouring himself a drink and sank into a chair. He could hear Mordru's laughter echoeing in the halls and thought that the sound didn't comfort him. Not one bit.

Back at the Tower of Fate, Mordru finds Shade sitting down and having a drink.
“So, Shade…I trust you were successful in your personal mission?”

 

[Phantasm]

OOC: You did, but we umm..ignored it. Because Cori and I had that little interlude planned.

OOC: Right. You could have could me so that instant.I would have edited right then.

J'onn had apparently gone back to rest so that left me to sit alone staring at the gigantic screen in front of me.From what I can see, Bruce, Dinah and Kara are heading finally towards the Tower. Which gives me quite a bit of time to go take a quick coffee break.

I wheel myself out of the room and towards the kitchen. The Clock Tower has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times now that I should be used to it. But I can't help but miss the way it was cozy...and the almost instantly available supply of coffee that was just so perfect for times like these...Watch Tower was just too...big...and everything was generalized to fit every superhero on Earth...And pretty intimidating with its sheer size and equipment...and these...'able bodied' heroes walking past didn't help the feeling of inadequacy either-

I start at whom I think I catch a glimpse of up ahead...No...it can'tbe...Shaking my head I continue forward...It can't be and besides...Dick does not have a beard...Coffee...I need coffee to clear up my thoughts...

But its the unmistakable blue and black of his suit that has my eyes widened. The costume was in tatters and his black hair more unkempt than ever...He was having difficulty walking...

Heart racing, almost at the impossibilty of the sight before me I wheel forward, as fast as I can until I can see him close enough...see the dark circles beneath his weary blue eyes, see the beard that has claimed the better part of his face...see the the way in which he looks so completely worn and exhausted...

My hands grasp the cool metal of the wheels of my chair as I come to an abrupt stop in front of him. I take his gloved hands in mine as my eyes notice the terrible shape he's in. What's happened to him?Why hasn't anyone here helped him yet? WHERE was he?

I look up at his weary face trying to find my voice...

OOC: Figured it was about time SOMEONE took notice of poor Nightwing's presence in the tower.

 

[Tropico]

Back at the Tower of Fate, Mordru finds Shade sitting down and having a drink.
“So, Shade…I trust you were successful in your personal mission?”

Shade looked up from his goblet at Mordru. "Oh, yes! It was quite succesful. It wasn't totally personal since I asked Teth Adam for some back-up. We had an impromptu visit from Hal Jordan." Shade sighed as he contained making any more scathing remarks regarding the GL. "I have a case that was Hourman's posession. I also have this curious little trinket..."- he said holding up the small hourglass-"...I thought it was destroyed when I attacked young Tyler; the elder is dead, by the way. It was curious...I fired a shadow bolt and it hit the hourglass instead of young Mr. Tyler, there seemed to be a hiccup...a...pause, and then the bolt was spread open while the hourglass disappeared. A shadow imp gave this to me after I came back here and it gave me the case."

Shade held up the object to Mordru in case he wanted to examine it himself.

 

[Harlekin]

When Slade re-appeared in the Tower, his first order of business was sleep. As such, he returned to the quarters of his daughter, and fell down into the bed beside her, immediately falling asleep as he did so. His wounds slowly started their healing process, and it would be a matter of time, before the Terminator would be back in shape.

 

[Supergirl]

I watched as the two fly down towards me. Kara leaves for a moment to go back to the roof. Dinah slips inside the Batmobile and looks at the damn knee.

"Are you okay?" She looks worried. I think I'm oddly touched by that. I'm not sure why...I think.

"I've went through worse," I reply, "...but...thanks...for your concern."

Kara flew by again, holding Raven's body in her arms. I've heard Clark say before that flying helped him to think and be alone. Like cousin, like...cousin, I guess.

Kara doesn’t stop to talk to Bruce, she just wants to move, rage, fear and grief all reaching boiling points within her mind.

Kara landed in front of the Javelin with the Batmobile pulling up to the edge of the park at about the same time.

I follow Kara's flight pattern to the park with the Javelin.

That means I have to step out of the Batmobile and walk to it. With a shattered kneecap.

Oh, hell.

Dinah must have noticed, for she was about to walk over and help me. I look at her she understands. I need to do this myself. It still doesn't stop her from following just behind me though. I'll give her that much.

Minutes later, we're in the Javelin and I'm in the pilots seat, thanking every God I can think of that this thing doesn't require much footwork.

We fly off and circle around Gotham, looking for Mid-Nite. We find him a few minutes later we find him strangely enough looking at us. We fly low so that he could pick him up. Dinah slips from her co-pilot seat and reaches out to Mid-Nite.

Batman appeared to be waiting for Kara to sit in the Javelin, she just shook her head. “I have my own ride and I need to clear my thoughts. I’ll meet you up there.”

A thorn in my side, a chip on my shoulder
A lump in my throat, the size of a boulder
The chill up my spine, can't get any colder
And you wonder why I can't smile
A knot in my gut, an ape on my back
In the heat of the moment
I'm knocked off the track
You drop the ball, I pick up the slack

Kara flew out of the atmosphere and drifted slowly through space, slowly heading towards the moon.

"While if a speedster dies in action, usually it's from pushing their body too fast and they're absorbed into the Speed Force.”

Bart’s words earlier that night, still haunted her. Is he helping Wally now?


Twisting, turning
Losing all sense of yearning
Living and learning
The pressure keeps on burning my soul
Burning my soul
Burning my soul

"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"

My fault. No matter what Dinah said, if not for me he would have gone safely back to Keystone. It was my fault Bart died. His death is my burden, my responsibility.

Responsible thinkers
Throw caution to the wind
But I find myself
Speaking from within
I can't live my life
Walking on eggshells
To stay on your good side
Using your words
Controlling my life
Can't you see it's my words
That gives you your life
So I hurt your feelings
Well I'm really sorry

I don’t care what Clark says, monsters like Slade and Adam don’t deserve to breathe the same air as rats and snakes, let alone humans. When a beast gets too dangerous to cage you put it down, why not the same for villains who take pleasure from robbing innocent people of their lives? The thought of Bart's empty uniform crumpling on the ground rushed back to her, along with the sight of another good friend hitting a roof top nothing more than blackened flesh and charred bone.

Twisting, turning
Losing all sense of yearning
Living and learning

The pressure keeps on burning my soul
Burning my soul
Burning my soul

Maybe Diana is rubbing off too much on me, but her logic makes more sense than the revolving door of Arkham or ‘President’ Luthor.

Kara saw the Javelin finally leave the planet, and she flew at its side escorting it to the Watchtower. Either they found Mid-Nite or there is more blood for the monsters to answer for.
