Vitruvian Man - Central Park Fight - The Whole Dang Party

The theater below him had rapidly increased its on stage characters. Devin watched as the fighting turned from puffing chests to what could only be described as a school yard rumble. Faces he was familiar from following the news made their entrance one after the other. The troubling fact was the unknown wasn’t just still standing against what was now an overwhelming number of metahumans, but that he was also pushing them back.

When he saw Boomstick activate her popularly called god mode Devin knew things were escalating to a point of endangering the entire city. He already saw bodies get thrown through a building and fire back by throwing part of the building in response. He was about to make his move when another player joined and then another. “If I were to make a suggestion Devin I would advise that this scene be suppressed as quickly as possible.”

“Couldn’t agree with you more L.I.S.A.” Devin said back. The problem was making a move that didn’t add to the chaos. Through L.I.S.A. and some logical thinking he had devised that the unknown was one of the new weapons this unknown group was employing to capture those with powers. They certainly found a tank judging from the damage it can take and give. That allowed for some liberties in his fighting methods, but also meant he was walking into a ring with an already pissed off bull. 

Devin stood up and watched as the unknown was thrown across the street again. He then seemed to deal with the gunman as well as somehow learn how to fly. Throw an S on him and I could write his origins… he thought with a furrow of his brow. His move would need to be fast and above all immobilizing. He had the tricks and tools to pull it off, but at the same time wasn’t sure how he would go about rallying those who were avoiding capture. 

He noticed how trusting they were and saw that as a good sign. The problem with it is they are all active heroes whereas the Vitruvian Man hadn’t been seen in years. Would they recognize him or assume he was another unknown and attack before he had a chance to explain. These thoughts might have halted the hero longer if it wasn’t for the fact that he saw what was soon going to be an experiment in the realm of unmovable meeting unstoppable. 

Leaping from the roof and activating his glider Vitruvian quickly fell into a dive that matched the unknowns speed. When the unknown was no more than five yards from Boomstick Devin made his presence known in a very deliberate way by introducing himself to the unknown to his heel landing directly on his back. 

Devin felt his kick land true and immediately after that he felt the unknown land face first into the asphalt of the street. Not wasting any time he leaned back to avoid what seemed to be a string or web and then threw his glue capsules onto the ground around the unknowns’ arms and legs. As soon as they hit they exploded into a white foam that quickly turned to a gum like adhesive latching itself to the unknowns body and the street. He then followed it up with a smoke bomb which went off on the unknown sword wielding bounty hunter and brought a thick cloud of black smoke to the scene. 

Vitruvian then ran towards Boomstick and then past her yelling. “He wins if you get caught. You win if you escape. Follow me now!” Devin was already running with the smoke cloud hot on his tail. Before fully losing sight of the unknown he aimed his gauntlet at him and fired a tracking chip onto his armor. “Scatter! He has backup on the way.” He said when running past the others who had joined the fight.

In a total of 10 seconds Devin had joined the fight and left the scene behind him for the cover of the park. His moves were still rusty, but he was confident he was getting back into fighting form. He could hear his dads’ voice in the back of his head talking about how it was good, but could always be better. I’ll try and aim for 8 seconds next time dad Devin thought.
