Dozens of Man-Owls took to the skies of the city, terrorizing whatever got in their way. Some of them removed children from their parents with their feet and talons, others successfully ate the children they abducted. Many of the creatures were strong enough to lift small cars on their own. And then there was the Court of Owls' newest Talon. Vesta 'Ves' Petrakis, aka Argonaut, was a wonderful girl and once the powerhouse of the Titans team. Now garbed in the armor of the Courts' agents, she lead the charge towards Grant's Gym.

The team had readied themselves at the sound of 'Squatcho's YouTube playlist. With the two holo-droids sparring in a ring upstairs disguised as Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed, the stage was set. The large skylight in the middle of the tall gym ceiling was shattered and the Man-Owls poured in, at least a dozen in total. The droids not putting up much of a fight against the strength and speed of the winged adversaries, the team was on edge downstairs in the actual base and HQ.

Robert and Daniel fused to become Leviathan. The taller ceilings in the Gym and HQ giving Levi the chance to work indoors, he had several of the larger weights brought down by El Sasquatcho ready to toss live frisbees. The others were ready as well but oddly enough it got quiet save for the luchador's music. The calm before the real storm.

Argonaut, now just another Talon, punched through the floor exposing the base. As the Man-Owls entered so did the rats of the city. It was actually quite the distraction and gave the strongmen of the group time to take a few creatures out of the air with the free weights. One of the creatures however, managed to rip off Parasite's arm. Namely, the one attached to her insectoid symbiote. 

The arm itself fought back with the symbiote creating an insectoid construct armor to protect itself. The girl, Caitlyn, was in shock though and passed out from the pain. Already somewhat healing the stump that remained in place of her limb. 

The Amazonian Talon eyed the strongmen, who were making quick work of her creatures. With a flying uppercut the likes of which nobody could have prepared for, Ves sent Leviathan flying through the HQ and Gymnasium towards the Gotham harbor. Levi could be heard screaming in the distance...
