[Issue 1] Mutants and Masterminds: An Age of Transition

====================================================
Gwen tenses up as she quickly looks for something. She would glare at the man as she watched Dr. Carter be taken, "HEY MR. CLEAN!" She reached over for something from the crates grabbing the blanket as she tried to slap it under his feet to trip and slide him. "I HOPE YOU KNOW THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FALL AND YOUR THICK HEADED @#%$ IS CRASHING HARD!"

Trying to trip mr clean with a blanket.: 1d20 = 8
 
Lucius looked over the various pictures Lucy showed him and nodded,"I can figure something out...." with a nod he strolled off, turning down an ally and as soon as there was no observers he vanished from sight his psyskin sliding over him and a moment later he was in his monstrous form, a large pair of wings tore free from his back and with a leap he took to the air.

A couple of flaps later he was flying over the city towards the meeting place the idiot who gave speeches was going to be, ready to see what he could do track down this Gwen girl and at least help someone!
 
Doctor West quickly rode back to his laboratory making sure that no one could see him as he entered the secret entrance. Once he had quickly let the bike park itself he got off and quickly text his friends to tell them that he was safe and that the police handled it. Of course he ordered Elsa to quickly recharge a bit, she would still not be at full power when they had to leave, but the more power she was able to recover the longer and harder she would be able to fight. If they were to storm their headquarters there was bound to be a large fighting force guarding it after all. Hopefully any allies that shown up would be able to help with that. At the very least he knew one hero who would be joining it. And he would be a very useful addition.

Doctor West quickly headed to the main computer he had in the place. It was a complete beast compared to the relic of a computer he had to use in the library. Having heard which way the villains had left with Gwen he believed that he could use the CCTV of the city in order to track her where abouts. With how quickly they had escaped he assumed that they would have some sort of vehicle in order to escape. He purposefully sat down in his chair and extended the keyboard as he cracked his knuckles. With more time to do the hack and with a proper computer he felt confident enough in order to not go into super focus mode. Plus he was not sure that he could even do that so soon after the last. All he had to do was hack into the right servers and view the footage from the correct time and then jump from camera to camera to follow the escape vehicle until he found out where she was. He then began typing..........
 
Gwen Cross

The strongman clearly does not expect this from Gwen; his back is to her, and despite hearing her yelling, doesn't do so much as look over his shoulder - more occupied by pushing the naked girl up against one of the warehouse's support pillars. As such, he is entirely unprepared for her attack, and the towel slips into place at his feet perfectly. Capitalizing on that timing, however, is the hard part; the strongman is over a foot taller than Gwen and probably three times her weight. She's as likely to yank his feet out from under him as she is to uproot a tree.

And yet, somehow, everything falls into place. Gwen catches him at just the right moment in his stride, as his weight shifts from one foot to the other, and he wavers, off-balance. He stumbles forward another couple of steps, but fails to regain his equilibrium, pitching forward and slamming facefirst onto the ground. The girl, released, slides back into a sitting position, back against the support pillar, and simply watches the fallen Adonis with mild interest. Dr. Carter releases a held breath of shaky, noncommittal relief.

For a moment, all anyone does is stare in shock. The clown reacts first, laughing out loud and applauding in appreciation. The other thugs join in, though it's not sure how many are amused and how many are just going along with the boss. The lion tamer gives what sounds like a genuine chuckle, but he seems more amused by the strongman's comeuppance than the actual show. The strongman, however, is not amused. He pushes himself up on his arms, then looks over his shoulder at Gwen, his lips curled back in a snarl of pain, rage, and wounded pride. Standing, he storms towards her, his earlier prey forgotten.

"You bitch," he growls, the sound like a cougar in his deep voice. "You and your rude mouth. Proud little billionaire, afraid of nothing, because who's bigger than you? Out there in the world, you are untouchable. But not here. Here you are just a little girl. And no one will fall harder than you."

His muscular arm shoots out and grabs a fistful of Gwen's hair. He yanks her closer, painfully. "I will show your rude mouth some respect," he growls again, more quietly.

Tom Drake

It takes a while for the paramedics to give Drake the all clear, but eventually the hubbub starts to die down. Some of them recommend he come into the hospital for observation, but don't push the issue. The police, too, are interested in talking to him, but only ask him simple questions at the scene. They say they'll call him if they have more questions, but Tom can tell they're focusing more on other witnesses - ones who weren't unconscious for half of the event.

Before he leaves, however, the jersey girl comes up to him again. As before, she's wrapped in a blanket, sneakered feet sticking out from below the knee-length hem. Her eyes look simultaneously wounded but hopeful, and she's lost the nervous, sexual exuberance of before, but there's still a look of desire in her eyes.

"Tom Drake?" she asks. Her friend is beside her, though she looks less encouraging, more watchful - not of Drake in particular, but more like a bodyguard, though what she hoped to defend against is unclear. "Did you...bring anything to sell today? Like a jersey? I...lost mine."

Radiance

Irma squeezes Lucy tight when she hugs her again. Her arms linger a second longer than usual, as if Irma wants to reassure herself Lucy is alright. "Don't worry," she says, and her voice makes it obvious she's smiling even though Lucy can't see her face. "I'll clock you out. I don't think anyone's expecting you to come back today anyway."

Doctor West

Doctor West checks his phone to find texts from Greg, Jagruti, and Kenji wondering if he's okay, and one from Tandy asking why the police have blocked off the library. A few minutes after sending his own text, replies trickle in from each expressing their relief; Jagruti's is the longest, with Kenji, Greg, and Tandy's being shorter in turn, with Tandy's consisting of a single "(y)". It doesn't take long on the computer to get an idea how difficult tracking the escape vehicle will be. Though there is plenty of CCTV in the city, he'll have to hack through several, perhaps dozens, of systems in turn, especially if he runs into blind spots where the cameras are not hooked up to the internet. Such an effort will be more difficult than hacking an individual system (DC 25) and will definitely take more time.
 
Tom answers the questions honestly, but is too irritated to focus too much, even if his headache didn't add to the discomfort. So much time spent in development and testing of hist power suit, eager to go out and show how much he could do, and he gets taken out by a kick to the head, and by a woman. He half-chided himself for being more angry that it was a woman, but he was more angry about it. And he was sure someone filmed it. He was used to all of his appearances being filmed, even if that was the case less and less often these days.

He's sitting on the edge of the stage still collecting his thoughts, and hadn't heard the talk about Gwen missing. As far as he knew, everything was fine, and police were just questioning everyone by themselves. He was getting ready to stand up when "jersey girl" approached again. He nods as she confirms his identity and offers a weak wave. "Yeah, we have some merchandise over...here," he finishes after seeing it, and begins slowly walking over to the stand. "My treat."
 
Gwen tenses up as she feels for her phone fumbling. She backs up seeing the man on the ground as she listens to the others all laughing. The girl would scroll to her contacts as she hit dial on Tom's phone, "Tom please pick up please pick.." She screams in pain as she feels her hair grabbed dropping the phone, "LET GO!" The girl kicked and squirmed as she felt herself face to face to the man in pain. She squints her eyes as she feels his breath and hears the threat of teaching her respect.

Gwen opens her eyes looking back as she spits at his face, "The only one who gets my respect is Thomas..."
 
....... and just as he expected the actual hacking of the security systems was not particularly difficult. While not his best hacking, it was still better than his average attempt and thus better than a lot of skilled hackers as his bar was set pretty high. Luckily he did not live that far from the clocktower so he would only need about 5 minutes on his motorcycle and he would allocate 10 minutes in order to get there. He the arranger of the meeting could very well not be late after all. If this task still needed more time then he could simply continue it on the computer on his motorcycle. Even if he could not get an exact location, even finding a general location to search would be very helpful, escpecially as he did not know if any other potentional heroes have a special means of searching which might have a limited distance.

Of course Elsa had set her recharging to finish so that she could also join Doctor West in time for the meeting. She was certain that there would be many enemies in the way and that Doctor West will definitely need her on this mission. Of course she hoped that after this rescue that Doctor West would have inspiration and the time in order to upgrade her as she wanted to be able to help Doctor West even more.

 
Gwen Cross

"What?!" The muscular man's head turns to track the falling cell phone. It lands on the concrete floor and bounces, coming to a rest face-up. The screen is cracked, but still displays Tom's contact as it rings his phone.

"Destroy that!" the bodybuilder shouts. One of the thugs reacts first, stepping forward and bringing a sledgehammer down on the phone. The blow shatters the phone, bits of plastic flying, but just in case the thug brings the sledge's head down on the phone a second time, reducing the phone to twisted plastic, metal, and silicon.

"Did nobody search her?" the bodybuilder snarls, simultaneously incredulous and furious. "They can track those phones through GPS! I thought you were professionals!"

He looks back at Gwen, his eyes narrowing to slits. "This Thomas...you will not even remember his name when I am done with you."

He yanks down on her hair, hard, forcing Gwen to the floor. Once she was on her knees, the bodybuilder unbuttoned his pants with his free hand, then reached in and pulled his penis free. It was already stiff, popping out eagerly, and sized to match his enormous body. He put the head of his cock to Gwen's lips, looking down at her with a small, mirthless grin. "Now open wide, girl."

By now, everyone is watching the performance. Dr. Carter looks sick but, guiltily, relieved, while the naked girl watches with dull curiosity. The criminals look on hungrily, except for the lion tamer, who crosses his arms and grimaces in discomfort.

"Shouldn't we..." he starts, looking at the clown, clearly grasping. "We shouldn't do this. They're going to pick her up soon, right? We're damaging the...the product."

"They want her alive," the clown says. She looks more amused than lascivious, but wholly unsympathetic to Gwen. "As long as she's alive, it doesn't matter what condition she's in. They said so themselves."

Tom Drake

The girl follows after him as he moves to the merchandise stand. When they reach it, she moves around to the far side of the stand, putting it between her and the most of the crowd, though she's still visible to Drake. Her friend stays close, something nervous in her body language - like she can tell something is up with the girl in the blanket. "Thank you," she says when he hands her the new jersey, then takes it with both hands. In doing so, she releases the blanket, and it drops - revealing her, exposed from head to ankle, naked but for a pair of sneakers.

"Jesus Christ, Rachel!" her friend hisses, but the girl ignores her. She pulls the jersey on slowly, keeping her eyes on Drake's, letting him look. She is slim, her breasts modest but perky over a flat stomach and rounded hips, her body modestly toned by exercise, but Drake can't help but see other marks on her body - abrasions and marks on her skin, across not just her limps but her torso as well. They were fresh, not black and blue yet, but Drake had suffered enough of his own to know she was covered with bruises, the heaviest unmistakably centered between her legs. Even after the jersey dropped, hiding her body to her mid-thigh, this added context changed the way he saw her face and body language - she was wounded, her immodest behaviour not just bold but seeking comfort, seeking opportunities to demonstrate her own strength...or maybe even something more complicated in response to her trauma.

"Maybe I can get your autograph another time," the girl whispers, leaning close to Drake. Her lips smile softly, her expression confident but also desperate and maybe even fearful. But he only gets a glimpse before her friend gently takes her hand and guides her away.

Doctor West

Cracking the variable security systems protecting CCTV across the city was not difficult in itself, but it was time consuming - especially since the escape vehicle proved surprisingly evasive. He ascertained quickly that it was a small helicopter, but whoever was piloting had apparently anticipated someone tracking it the way West was doing and had taken steps to avoid it. It had flown low over buildings rather than higher, where it could be seen at greater distances and angles by various cameras, and had apparently changed course a few times, forcing West to double back more than once when its projected trajectory turned up empty camera feeds.

West does eventually track it to coastal section of the city primarily filled with warehouses, but the warehouses do not seem to have security cameras - or if they do, they are presumably not accessible via the internet. He's confident the helicopter set down somewhere in an area the size of a few city blocks and that the criminals did not leave that area on foot, but that's all he'll know until he gets closer.

Everyone (besides Gwen Cross)

Everyone meets up at the clock tower at the appointed time. Of course, most have never seen each other in their superheroic identities; they may find it useful to introduce themselves and get an idea of what they can all do.
 
Stalker flapped through the city, floating through the air on the currents getting a good feel for the city and it's surroundings before heading to the clock tower. Of course the world wasn't ready to see Stalker in his full glory, red ropy muscles bulging as he landed on the side of the clock tower, cloaked and invisible to all but watching, waiting for the other heros to arrive. He was sure he wasn't the only one to hear the arrogant man sprouting off about helping the girl, he already had his mind filled with things that had happened....the girl he had raped, the one he had to save and the odd form Lust had taken to abuse the woman.

Sighing he slipped up the side of the clock tower, long red and black tendrils squirming off of his body to anchor him to the building as he moved, unseen and unheard as he waited, and watched. Eager to help and make up for the wrong the seven sins had made him do. He wasn't a bad man, it was all something outside of his control. His ears strained, his mind focused on the arrival of all in the area at the appointed time.

1580295266172.png Radiance

The great lion hopped down from one of the surrounding buildings. Big as a young elephant, he moved with pride, head held high, mane dancing in the wind.

The gilr on his back was a vision of amazon fantasy. Svelte and hard bodied with all the right curves, she wore a tiny armored bikini beneath a leather dress and a fur skirt. The ocher tattoo of a rising sun around her belly button shimmer with golden glory where the light caressed it. her skin--smooth and flawless--showed a light tan quite alien to most gingers, barely freckled at all.

The great lion settled down in a pose of relaxed might in front of the cock tower. The girl swung one let over and waited there, sitting sideways astride his back. She offered each a little wave when they came into view. When it seemed they were all assembled, she slid down the lion's flank and moved up to each of them, offering her hand. "Doctor West," she began. "My name is Radiance. A friend of mine told me about what happened at the library, and that you were calling for aid against those who took the cheerleader.

"My friend is Aslan," she indicated the lion.

The lion looked on with knowing eyes and gave a relaxed yawn.
 
Both Selena and Suzy had their first taste of a combat situation, and had come out of it alive to tell the tale. Selena was supposed to simply show up, speak for a while, and call it a day. She did not plan on having to put her abilities to the test as a fight broke out during the gathering. The fight was more of a one sided affair than Selena or Suzy would have liked. Selena remembered little of the encounter aside from two things. The tennis racket that Suzy made works, and there was another red-headed female that had come to her aid after the melee had finished.

Suzy would let Selena know that there was a gathering proposed by someone named "Doctor West", and among other things that a woman was taken as a hostage from the altercation. This time, Selena was going to be prepared. Instead of keeping her augmented outfit in Suzy's care while she handled a public gathering, Selena was focused only on the task at hand this time. The meeting place was a clock tower, and there were already a few others there when the pair arrived.

Selena would approach Radiance and Doctor West, with Suzy walking along side her. Taking a moment to look about, Selena thought she had seen a familiar face. The hair was the same, but now she had a different look. At a base level, Selena could appreciate the desire to keep the heroic identity separated from her private life. Making a gesture toward Doctor West to affirm her arrival, Selena would then gravitate toward the woman that she was almost certain was responsible for aiding her at the library. It was a slightly awkward moment for Selena as she approached the other woman and the lion. "You.. I think I owe you a thank you for the other day at the library. Name's Selena, but I came up with one of those hero names so call me 'Ivory Ace', maybe just 'Ace'.." Selena would stammer a bit trying to take in her surroundings. "Anyway, thanks for what you did and I hope we can work together."

With the first meaningful introduction out of the way, Selena would simply try to mingle among the group. Suzy was likely to try to talk a little shop with Doctor West, but would not stray too far from Selena as the two agreed that they should stick together no matter what comes of this meeting at the clock tower.

The redhead met the the beautiful blond's eyes as she took the other girl's hand.

She quirked a grin. "I guess the glasses only work for Clark Kent because Superman is so tall." She grinned. "Ivory Ace if lovely. Call me Radiance."

Then she leaned into the other girl with a palm coming up to her ear. As she leaned in, silky ginger tresses covered the action of her lips over the other girl's ear. "But when I'm wearing the glasses, you can call me Lucy."

Then she straightened up and gave a nod. "The girl who was taken was Gwen Cross. I looked her up online. She was a Cheerleader, but now she's a respected philanthropist. It seems her family is quite wealthy."

===================================================
Meanwhile back at the unknown hideout.

Gwen tenses up as she is yanked forward towards the muscular man. As the shaft is shoved towards her lips, her blue eyes would widen in shock. She grits her teeth as she quickly snaps down fast onto the man's dick as tight as tight as she can. She quickly would spit as she knew her powers would have just healed him but knew it should hurt him just as much as it hurt her.


biting free willy: 1d20 = 15
Gwen let out a scream of pain as she glared at the man. She would shake her head as she snapped. "GO BACK TO YOUR GOD DAMN CLEANING ADS AND CLEAN YOUR $*@#NG ACT UP! I SWEAR TO $*@#NG GOD IF TOM DOES NOT BREAK YOUR LEGS I SURE AS $*@# WILL!

I'll MAKE SURE YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ANY OTHER GIRL!"

=======================================================
 
Doctor West and Elsa made it to the clock tower with around a minute to go and and waited for everybody to arrive and introduce themselves. After everyone had done so he looked at everybodyu gathered there and told them in a loud and excited voice, "Welcome to all those who managed to make it here on such short notice. To have such capable looking allies on this, Oporation Tsuchinoko I am truely honoured. I, the genius Doctoooooooor West! , have in the short hour since leaving the library that these vile evil doers attacked have managed to track down the location of their vile evil base. They are located in the coastal warehouse district, at least that is where their helicoiptor escape vehicle laded and so far those evil doers have not left that area on foot. Unfortunately the C.C.T.V. systems that may be in place in those actual werehouses are not connected to the internet and thus I am unable to provide the exact building that they are currently holed in. But narrowing down the location from the entire city to a mere few city blocks worth of space is certainly going to make the search go a lot more smoothly."

Doctor West gave a pause before continuing, "Now friends it is time that we discuss our strategy for combing the area for our missing person and the vile villians who would commit such a heinous act. It might also help if we discuss our abilities to eachother so that we know what each of us are cabale of. For me I am a genius who with a vast knowledge of science, robotics and technology and I fight purely with my inventions as I am a genius inventer. I have a rocket launcher guitar case, a fast self driving remote controled motorcycle and a repair beam that can repair any type of machine at a distance. My mask also lets me see in the dark. Finally I have my greatest invention, Elsa who shall explain what she can do." He then dramatically points to Elsa who performs a small courtsey.

Elsa then started to speak, "I am Elsa a fully combat ready robot, Robo. I am specialized in close combat fighting and attack using my arms as weapons, Robo. I am heavily armoured and have a number of different vision and hearing modes as well as being able to accurately judge distance and time, Robo. I am especially skilled at fighting against large groups of weak opponents being able to take a large amount down in a fairly short time, Robo. Also being a robot means that I do not need to breath, eat or sleep although I do require electricity to function, Robo."
 
Gwen Cross

The sadistic grin disappears off the bodybuilder's face as Gwen's jaws clamp down on his cock, replaced with an open mouth and eyes as large and circular as ping-pong balls. Gwen didn't see him fighting at the library, so it may not have been clear before, but she can tell upon clamping down that the man is superhumanly resilient in some way - but not that resilient. He screams aloud in pain and horror, instinctively trying to yank her head away from him but immediately letting go of her hair when the pain increases. Unfortunately for Gwen, she is intimately aware of his pain as a piercing, blinding white agony shoots up from between her legs and into her core.

As soon as she opens her mouth, he forces her away from him, yelling wordlessly in pain over his injured member. The clown and a few of the thugs laugh at his suffering, but most just wince sympathetically. Gwen just manages to get through her speech before the bodybuilder overcomes the pain enough to launch himself at her again. This time, there is no sadistic imagination or cruel playfulness in his actions; he simply, brutally, grabs her by the throat and slams her to the floor, kneeling on top of her.

"You brat, you bitch, you vicious, stuck-up termagent - !" he spits, barely getting the words out through his anger. Flecks of spittle rain down from his grit teeth onto Gwen's face. "Could have taken your licks and been done with it but you just didn't know what was good for you, going to snap your little arms and break your knees and shatter your jaw and take out every one of your teeth and then you'll know the meaning of goddamn discipline - "

Abruptly he pauses, panting furiously, but reaches up for his face with one hand. The other stays on Gwen's throat, but is loose enough for her to breathe - even talk. He feels at the bruises and abrasions from the fight at the library, but they're gone - healed after his skin-to-skin contact with Gwen. Looking down, he shifts to bring his penis into view. It is still injured from Gwen's bite, but it's healing - right before his, her, and everyone else's eyes.

"It's you," he says, looking back at Gwen. His face splits into a triumphant grin, the look of schoolboy who's learned someone's vulnerable secret. "I feel it! This is why they want you. And if this is what happens from touching you, then..."

Straddling her, the bodybuilder moves both hands to Gwen's chest. Fingers spreading, he slides his palms over her breasts, cupping them, then come together over her sternum and grab fistfuls of her top. With one yanking motion, he tears her top down the middle, throwing the two halves away with harsh, mocking laughter.
 
Gwen cried out in pain more as she felt blood between her legs from the biting down on the man. She felt the splash as she arched back in pain feeling herself tossed hard away from the man. She rolled curled up in pain as her blood slowly crawled back to her and up her skirt and out of her clothes. Gwen trembled struggling as she went to talk but felt herself grabbed quickly by the throat.

Gwen tensed up as she started shaking hearing the man. She froze as her wounds fully disappeared. She noticed his eyes noticing his own wounds gone as she took a deep gulp in panic. "Shit.....Thomas....please.....hurry..." She squirms as she lets out a cry feeling herself being grabbed and fondled.

"L....L...LET ...GO..." She screams out feeling her top ripped as her laced pink bra is revealed, "D...don't you dare..."

"Y...You're hurting me..." She tenses up in pain but her wounds clearly do not stay from the struggles she does against the strong armed man. "I...if my father or his branch hired you....he...he won't let you get away with this..."

Believe that bluff please....that dirtbag could care less bout anything than his experiments please believe that bluff

Selena looked at Radiance, and nod her head. "So, Radiance it is." As Radiance starts to explain who exactly it was that was taken during the gathering at the library, Selena would not recall that being anyone of importance to her directly. Suzy was also taken by the story. but in a different way. She whispered toward Selena, "This is the perfect testing ground for your gear. Embrace this, and the scandal that destroyed your career will mean nothing. Everyone will know Ivory Ace and forget about Selena."

The words Suzy spoke gave Selena a sense of direction. As Doctor West approached the group, his entrance was a bit over the top. When it came to Selena and Suzy, they both volunteered that they can attack from a range, though they were just regular people for the most part aside from the gadgets and inventions that Suzy created for them. Selena had her speed augmented through the outfit she was wearing. What looked like an ordinary tennis player's outfit was certainly something more. Suzy interjected after a short description of what Selena could do and took her glasses off. "There is just about nothing these glasses are capable of doing. Binoculars, microscope, lasers, and a few vision options for when I can not see what I need to."

Once the pair had made their intro and described their abilities. they attempted to remember as much as they could while the rest of the group took their turns.
 
1580866307662.png Radiance

Golden eyes danced in excitement. Then she spoke up, "I'm a sorceress," she explained, "Aslan is my familiar. I'm tougher than i look, especially with my armor,"--was she calling that armor? Could she even call that a bikini?--"But I'm hardly bullet proof. I never get sick, and I'm comfortable just about anywhere--so long as i can breath. I'm good with old fashioned weapons, and my dagger is enhanced by magic. Obviously, though,the biggest power of a sorceress is to cast spells, right? With time and study, i can do just about anything--if I'm strong enough. My main spells are a ray of blinding light, telekinesis, healing, teleportation, a sort of laser beam i call searing light, an explosion of the same, and turning someone into a newt."

She chuckled and shook her head, "I hope you're alll on the up and up, because I just gave away every trick in my book."

Except for the eternal youth thing. That secret wasn't hers to share.

"Aslan as you might imagine is very strong and fast. I've seen him rip open a car, and we've clocked him at 30 miles an hour, easy, with me on his back. He can roar as an attack, but it's tiring, and you can hear it for miles. He can also turn invisible."
 
Lucius had slid closer as the people started their introductions, listening with amusement as they listed their various powers and abilities and once the pretty sorceress revealed all her powers he dropped his cloaking affect the rippling muscles of his tendrils seemed to form around him, strange shapes sliding from his reddish black body as he looked over the group and grinned,"I'm Stalker, I smash things and run faster than the little kitty. I can also turn invisible and I think you will be surprised at what else I can do....." With a ripple his body changed and shifted and a replica of Radiance was standing before them, right down to the bikini as Stalker grabbed his 'own' breasts and smirked at her,"These are nice...."

The body shifted back and Lucius trembled, just a little, forcing Lust back down, just a moment and the fucking purple bastard was talking through him,"Sorry....I can take other peoples forms is what I meant." His big red hands stretching and shaping into a massive scythe blade,"And I can shape myself into weapons.....I crush things, I'm not subtle, magical or technological." He shrugged unashamed of the raw power he wielded,"I'm glad you found her, I was thinking it was going to be more complicated. Do we have anyone who needs to be carried or do we have a vehicle we can travel to the location in. We need to get her out of there, she's a pretty girl, famous and rich...who knows what they are doing to her."

We know what we'd do to her.....

Eat her....

No, you greedy fucking bastard, sex!

But food....hungry........


Lucius blinked, fighting back the voices without it seeming obvious glad for the red muscle mass that hid his real face,"Let's head out soon." Otherwise he was going to have to get something to eat, you can't have Gluttony getting out during a rescue attempt or he'd be eating the clowns...and that would leave him feeling funny.
 
Gwen Cross

The bodybuilder raises an eyebrow, smirking in disbelief, then laughs again. "If your father hired us? Ha! Rich girl, why would he pay us to take you? If he wanted you, all he'd have to do is cut off your money, and you'd be back for dinner on your knees!"

He looks up at the others, grinning, waiting for laughter. A couple of the thugs chuckle. When the bodybuilder looks back at Gwen, he belatedly notices her lacy pink bra. "Oh, what's this? Of course, of course - I remember now."

Grabbing Gwen by her hair again, he hauls her to her feet, wrapping one arm around under her chin in a headlock. "Look, everyone!" he shouts as the hand holding her hair releases it, then moves to her pencil skirt. With a tug and the sound of ribbing fabric, he tears it away, revealing her matching panties. "She's retired, but she still brings the cheer!"

This time, the thugs laugh in earnest. The lion tamer, looking increasingly disgruntled, finally grunts in disgust and turns away. With a hand on the lion's mane, he and the animal walk to a door and step outside the warehouse. The clown watches him go, then looks back at Gwen with an exaggeratedly distressed expression.

"Oh, no! We're losing the audience!" She turns to the acrobats. "Nobody likes a solo performance. Get in there and get some chemistry going!"

The blonde and redheaded acrobats glance at each other, unsure, but the raven-haired acrobat casts her long hair over her shoulder and strides forward, hips swaying sultrily. The bodybuilder releases Gwen's neck, allowing the acrobat to lean in, her breath on Gwen's cheek, before her lips brush over her neck and collarbone. Her hand glides up Gwen's midsection, a finger tracing the lower edge of her bra, before slipping down over her stomach and sliding the tips her index and middle fingers into the waistband of her panties. The bodybuilder, meanwhile, grabs Gwen's hips roughly with both hands, his erect penis pressing against her backside.

Okay, crossed Radiance's mind. He's creepy. I wish my arcane senses were better developed.

Young as she was, Radiance had only been allowed to witness the summoning of demons under the most controlled circumstances, but she knew it was something The Sons of Atlantis risked from time to time, as demons often had or could acquire intelligence on the gods, and weather or not they were preparing for a new strike against humanity.

Creepy or not, though, he's putting himself on the line to help a stranger, and he's trusting us at his bakc.

The revealingly clad ginger smiled a bit at the shape changing trick. It actually helped her relax, and her lips spread to a grin. "You're okay, Stalker." She offered her hand. "When you can do things most people can't, sometimes it's hard to keep a sense of humor about it."

Radiance took a run at Aslan and sprang up onto his back. "Okay, I think we should get started. Let me give you my number. This is my work phone." She shared out the number. "Doctor West, you said they were in a wearhouse district?" She called up the adress he'd given on google maps. "As nice as it would be to try and sneak up on them, it's a pretty big area to cover stealtihly. We should at least get to the edge and send sneaky people ahead. We might just move right in.

"Aslan is no faster than a typical street car, but when you need speed in a city, taking to the rooftops can make all the difference. Anyone need a ride?" She looked around curiously, particularly at the two tens players. "Ace, Suzi?"

Radiance held out her hand to help them up if they wanted a ride, or anyone else.
 
Not having anything to contribute aside from a pair of able bodies to help with this rescue attempt, both Selena and Suzy would defer to the woman now known as Radiance. Selena and Suzy with their augmented footwear could possibly have kept up with Aslan on their own, but why waste the energy? It would do no one any good to be tired out and unable to fight when the time came. The women both looked at each other, nodded in approval, and Suzy then spoke up toward Radiance.

"Sure, don't mind if we do. Thanks!" Suzy would reply back to Radiance as she reached out to take Radiance's hand to mount upon Aslan. Selena would soon follow once Suzy had gotten herself situated.
