NRG - Subway

NRG watched as a female and male were about to hit each other when an orange male hit the male with some type of beam. NRG lost sight of the male. Which caused the female to lose her balance because of her momentum and end up on her back. Then she proceeded to start yelling at the orange male. NRG kept his eyes moving around, searching around for who knows what. He spotted two more people, which made the total to six other people.

"That's the bad guy Jaw-Man, if ur about to do sumthin' he's ur target partner" said some guy dressed like he came out of an old western movie.

"aa-an?" said NRG but since his jaw was dislocated, it made him unable to speak. What he was trying to say was Jaw-Man?. NRG felt as pure destructive energy collected in the back mouth. Which as soon as the full amount of energy was collected and he could see his target; he would fire the blast.

"You told me I had to capture Boomstick! Why are all these guys here?!!" said someone, who NRG thinks is his target. "I ain't running away!

NRG felt that the energy needed had been collected in his mouth. The energy gave off a bright yellow light. NRG seen his target and aimed towards him. Then he fired the blast, which gave off bright yellow light, and was cylinder-shaped about eight inches in diameter and two feet in length. He was not sure how damage it was going to do, but he knew it was going to hurt.

Fairy - Subway Showdown

With the civilians out of the way there was no more delay, it was about time Momo joined the fight. She still wasn't sure what she could do next to people with super punches, energy blasts, and fancy guns but there was no turning back now. There was no forgiving herself if she didn't see this through to the end. Besides, telepathically sensing the furor and fury of the combatants (particularly Templar and Boomstick) had boiled her blood and gave her an appetite for action she had never felt before. Gripping Templar's sword tightly, she held it in front of like she has done so many times before in her dojo; except this time the sword wasn't made of wood. Indeed the weapon in her hands was unfamiliarly heavy. Seriously hurting someone wasn't her intention but she doubted the sword would do much against these super humans.

Keeping her front towards Templar, she took short and quick nervous steps closer to the others. By Breakdown's attack and Mr. Cowboy's commands, she just assumed it was everyone against Templar. She was relieved to be on the side with numbers, although she should make it clear. "Yo! I'm on your guys' side!" she said to Cowboy-Man and creepy Jaw-Man. Just looking at his agape mouth made hers hurt. "Umm, so... does anyone know why we're fighting this guy? I mean, has anyone tried talking to him?" Despite her intentions Momo wouldn't get the chance to play negotiator.

"I ain't running away" Templar finished, crushing the earpiece and rushing to the battle. He flew straight forward and aimed for Boomstick yet again, this time, he was done playing games.

At Templar's words, Momo didn't need telepathic powers to see what was coming. Jaw-Man was charging his mouth canon and the wild-child girl was ready to punch Templar's lights out. Everyone was throwing their cards down and Momo was no exception. Making a finger pistol in the same direction as the others, she focused and tensed the muscles in her hand. As Templar came into view and everyone unleashed their attacks, Momo shot a marvelous strand of silk at the foe. Maybe she'll get lucky and it'll land in his eyes.

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.

Breakdown-Central Park- Momo

In a flash, everything changed. Instead of the big boom of a large explosion, the aggressor was incapacitated by, no. It couldn't be... the Vitruvian Man? He hasn't been seen in years. Yet here he was, taking out the bad guy. In all honesty Jason was a little star struck. But shaking it off Jason took what he had heard from to heart. Reengaging his gloves, Jason tugged at Momo's arm and said, "Lets take his advice and go."

Jason wasn't looking forward to this fight, it would seem the only way to truly stop it would to be increasing his power to dangerous levels. Jason left the subway and hoped that Momo had taken his advice, there had been enough carnage today and she seemed to young to be at the hands of that fiend.

[Archmage MC]

Light was enjoying the play that was being acted out in front of her. It seemed that this, boy, that the angel lady had come down with was the target everyone was after. He showed that he was incredibly resilient though as he took blow after blow, only swapping to a new costume when his old one had been nearly torn away. "Now where is some bloody popcorn. That would go perfectly with this spectacle!" Light said as she began to search for some in vain. When she looked back at the fight, her seat being blown up by some orange crystal man, she noticed that the angel girl was no longer white, yet was still standing.

"Psh, temporary forms like that are so pointless." she said as she watched a couple more newcommers join the fight, a moth lady and some glasses looking guy who was charging a beam. The person they were all attacking seemed to have had enough, or so they said before a bunch of attacks had hit him. But instead of the exciting explosion Light was expecting, some costumed superhero that she didn't recognize dropped down from the sky and planted who Light assumes was the bad guy into the dirt and restrained him using a few various devices, while also using some other devices to block the multitude of attacks hitting his direction.

He seemed to yell something at the angel girl to get away from this boy as he ran past Light, giving her no mind since she looked like a normal civilian. Crystal guy followed suit, putting back on what she assumed was his protective clothing. "Hey, aren't you going to melt that guy or something? Its not like hes that big of a threat, I mean, what can he do but take a punch?" Light said, calling at him as he passed. She shrugged as the costumed hero and radiation boy went up the stairs to the park.

[QT]

Templar/Tiger - Subway System - 'Heroes'

"NO!!" Tiger called out to NRG as he was about to fire his laser or whatever it was. Without notice, Tiger fired at NRG's ear, causing the meta's head to tilt slight left. If he had successfully fired his cannon, it would had engulfed both the villain and Boomstick. Though it would have most likely damaged the clone, it would have also taken down Boomstick - or even kill her for that matter. "Aim before you shoot amigo!" Tiger called out to NRG. The beam ended up skidding Templar's right leg as he flew towards Boomstick. Not only did it damage Templar, but it nearly destroyed the tracks. The radius of the blast was too dangerous and caused the entire place to crumble.

But even the pain on his leg didn't stop his momentum. Templar continued towards Boomstick with his fist prepared to strike. Just as the two metahuman's fist came into contact, yet another figure appeared to prevent their fighting.

A hooded stranger fell from above crashing into Templar's back and forcing him to the dirt beneath him using some kind of gooey plaster. Suddenly, smoke also appeared from nowhere, encasing the surrounding area in darkness. Templar fought against the glue like adhesive and manage to not only stand, but rise with the glue still on his limbs, along with some of the ground itself. "Where'd they go?!" Templar called out, searching right and left for his target and her helping hands.

Tiger heard the hooded stranger's commands. He ordered them to scatter and leave the scene because other's would soon come apprehend them. Tiger then started to shoot randomly through the smoke in the general direction of the clone, hoping to get a few hits before he had to go. At that instance he noticed he had become a contradiction of what he told NRG - the 'aim before you shoot' thing. Anyway, Tiger then turned and started to run up the stairs back to the street, hoping to find his ride where he had last left it.

Within seconds of his exit, a helicopter flew overhead and dispersed all the smoke. Four armed men then grappled their way down to surround Templar. Three of the guards searched the premise for people, but at that time, it seemed everyone had left. The fourth guard helped get the plaster off the clone using some sort of cooling device. The plaster became solid and easy to break apart.

"I'm going after them" Templar told the guards. "No soldier. New orders. Return to base and regroup" the guard stated as they handed Templar a grapple rope. Extremely pissed off, Templar took hold of the rope and let the helicopter fly him back up. On his way to the sky, he was able to see a couple of the people he had just fought against, hoping that one day he'd get another chance at them. Within minutes of their exit, Templar and the four guards were seated within the chopper.

"When will I get to fight them again?!" asked Templar, yelling over the noise of the propellers.

"I don't know son, hopefully soon! Once we get to base they'll let you know what is next!"

"I want to see them again. I had a great time" Templar thought to himself as the helicopter continued home.

In the meantime: "VROOM!!VROOM!!" the motorcycle roared. The cowboy adjusted his hat and made sure it wouldn't fly off as he rode away. Fortunately, it seemed the threat was over for the time being as he watched the helicopter fly off. Then, like an action hero, he rode through the street against traffic, and fled the scene hoping to reunite with these heroes another day. "YEEEEEHHAAAAWWW!!!!!"

Fairy - Central Park - Breakdown

cough cough Vitruvian Man's entrance took Momo by surprise, it all happened so fast so almost couldn't process it. One second he was using gadgets and gizmos, the next everything was covered by black smoke. At first she tried to keep it away from her by flapping her wings but the smoke just kept coming. It was all so confusing until she heard a familiar voice.

"Lets take his advice and go."

Without hesitation she nodded and followed him through the smoke and out of the subway. Conveniently enough his glowing skin make it easy to follow him despite the smoke that had enchanted the subway. As soon as they exited the subway Momo was hit by the wind of Templar's escaping helicopter. That was when her wings started crumbling apart. They became fine delicate sparkling dust as the helicopter's breeze blew them away. Soon all was left were two holes torn into her pajamas where the wings used to be. In all the excitement she almost forgot she wasn't wearing any shoes. By now her feet were covered in dirt. Her hands were clutching onto Templar's sword which he seemed to have forgotten about. The handle had a few silk strands on them which Momo had accidentally spun. As exciting as it all was, she was glad it was finally over.

"You don't see that everyday! Well, I guess you do heheheh" she said to Templar now that they were in the clear. Her Japaneses accent showed but not as heavily as before. "My name is Momoko, pleased to meet you. Do you know what happened back there? That boy left his sword behind, it would be proper to return it to him. But he did attack us... We should give it back after he apologizes for causing so much trouble."

[Pathfinder]

Breakdown- Central Park- Fairy

Dave took a deep breath as he and Momo left the subway and out of sight of that helicopter. With a sigh he realized that Sarah was going to kill him once he got back. Dave barely heard what Momo had said before he realized she was actually talking.

"My name is Momoko, pleased to meet you. Do you know what happened back there? That boy left his sword behind, it would be proper to return it to him. But he did attack us... We should give it back after he apologizes for causing so much trouble."

At that Jason gave a small laugh, "I don't think that he will need it, from what I saw he could just get a new one. Plus, he has shown his colors. I don't think we need to make him any more dangerous." Stretching a kink out of his arm, Dave said, "Oh and by the way, thanks for helping me with those people. My names Dave." Seeing all the excitement around, news helicopters, reporters, cops, civilians. It wasn't a good place for supers.

With a little huff, Dave said "Hey Momo, you should come to my apartment. I'm sure Sarah has some clothes you can wear and you could just wait it out there until all this excitement died down." Dave had first hand knowledge of being swarmed by reporters and cops, it isn't a pleasant experience in his book and it was a miracle that they hadn't been spotted yet.

[Archmage MC]

Light was waiting outside of the entrance to the subway as the butterfly girl came out from the smoke hewn passage, and promptly had her wings 'shattered' by the wind of an escaping helicopter. Light scratched her head at how such a little thing could break the girls wings but shrugged and followed her as she caught up with the glowing guy. Light looked around but didn't see the costumed hero or the cowboy, though she did hear the sound of a motorcycle driving away.

"Well that was a fun looking fight, at least until that superman wannabe got owned by some... glue I'm going to guess?" Light said to the pair, popping out from behind a tree after the glowing boy named Dave had suggested that he and the butterfly girl, Momoko she called herself, should go to his apartment to get her 'new cloths.'. Of course her disguise was still on, so she still looked human. "Say, where did that costumed guy go anyway? That entrance was pretty flashy, I wanna give him a high five for it." .She looked at the two, and asked if they were ok, after all, they didn't really get hit, but momo did lose her wings from the wind of a helicopter.

[Konica]

Fairy - Central Park - Breakdown & Light

Momo could hear police sirens getting closer in the distance. Reporters and news people already started swarming in to get a piece of the action. Momo panicked a little as she didn't want to get caught up in all that. Good thing Breakdown was there to offer her a way out.

"Hey Momo, you should come to my apartment. I'm sure Sarah has some clothes you can wear and you could just wait it out there until all this excitement died down."

"Y-yeah, okay. That would be great" she said shyly. It was the first time she was invited to a guy's house like that. Normally she wouldn't just go along with some stranger, but this guy seems nice and since this Sarah person was also there she supposed it would be alright. Besides, Momo didn't really want to be alone after what just happened. Soon another girl entered the conversation, who apparently was at the fight. She wasn't one of the combatants so Momo didn't recognize her.

""Say, where did that costumed guy go anyway? That entrance was pretty flashy, I wanna give him a high five for it." .She looked at the two, and asked if they were ok, after all, they didn't really get hit, but momo did lose her wings from the wind of a helicopter."

"Oh umm, I'm not sure. I think he left already" Momo didn't know how to act in this situation, so she just answered the girl's questions as best she could. "I-I'm fine, its just a little breezy is all. I hope that punching girl is okay, it looked like she got hit pretty hard." Definitely an understatement.

Afterwards Momo followed Breakdown to his apartment. Even though she didn't really have a sense of direction she tried to keep track of the street signs so that she knew how to get back on her own. Seeing Breakdown in his suit made Momo think about making her own costume. Not that she was going to become a superhero or anything. She just thought it would come in handy in case something like this ever happened again. Its better than what she's wearing now.

Boomstick - Collapsed Subway

"Will you stop with the friendly fire! it is bad enough that he is already trying to hit me!" Boomstick yelled to who ever had just fired another beam of energy, this one leaving a streak in her vision when it nearly hit her aswell. Her punch missed flyboy by a hair and as a result she ended up doing nothing but watching him fly off as the beam knocked him away.
'This is why I work alone' she thought to herself, 'everyone else always comes in a mucks it all up!'
She turned to where flyboy had landed and started towards him to finish the job and she swore if one more person came in and screwed this up she was going to personally give them a beating with her left hand. But flyboy never got a chance to get up, a grenade of some sort struck him and foam flew everywhere, coating her opponent and holding him down she watched with a bit of surprise as a hooded figure jumped down into the 30 meter hole they made in the ground and explained to her that flyboy was here to capture her, well in the tl;dr version, before asking her to follow him and running up on of the subway exits. She looked over her shoulder with confusion and turned back to flyboy but a helicopter was already extracting him, he was gone and if she stuck around she would have to deal with the press. So the black haired girl turned and fled the scene, running into the same alley mister hoodie disappeared into, she wanted a word with him.

[World Traveler]

Vitruvian Man - Alley Way off Central Park - Boomstick

Devin didn’t need to look back to know that his advice was being followed. He could hear Boomstick behind him as they reached the park area and cut the corner into a nearby street. He had been inclined to take refuge in the park itself, but after he heard the familiar sounds of a helicopter he knew being in the open area could leave them vulnerable. When he cut into the alley way he pulled out his grapple gun and fired upwards. It instantly magnetized itself to the fire escape and pulled him up. He flipped over the railing and landed facing towards the alley entrance just as Boomstick turned the corner.

When she turned the corner her arm acted like a nightlight. “Any chance you can turn that off.” Devin said from his perch. He wasn’t in the mood for a friendly chat so he was going for a slightly in charge sort of tone. He knew it wouldn’t make him any friends, but that wasn’t the reason he was getting involved. “You shouldn’t have gotten pulled into that fight. You endangered everyone around you as well as played into the trap they were setting for you. Be more aware of your enemy’s goals in the future.”

Devin was about to continue his lecture when he was interrupted by L.I.S.A. she was letting him know that they seemed to be in the clear for the moment; moreover, the surprise attack had allowed everyone involved to make their own escape from the fighting. It was good news, but it came at a price. I have calculated that several of the people, if not all of them, are highly likely targets for the unknown meta and it would be advised to rally them.

Devin felt that they should at least make some sort of attempt to communicate with the group tonight, but didn’t see an immediate option outside of L.I.S.A. tracking them all down. It would be exhausting and would be a taboo move on his part tracking down costumed heroes and possibly revealing their hidden identity. He knew he was going to first have to calm down the firecracker below him so he jumped down and stood face to hood with the young woman. “Air your grievances.” Devin said with a firm tone.

[Jinxlynx]

Boomstick - Alley Way off Central Park - Vitruvian Man

Modya marched up to the guy in his hoodie or costume, whatever he was wearing with a few choice words, his request that she turn off the light on her arm caught her a little off guard and she promptly obliged, letting the aura fade away so all that was left was her bare tattooed arm. She then crossed her arms.
“You shouldn't have gotten pulled into that fight. You endangered everyone around you as well as played into the trap they were setting for you. Be more aware of your enemy’s goals in the future.”
She rolled her eyes as he was distracted for a second, she could tell hoodie was putting on a tough guy act that she was not buying.
“Air your grievances.”
He added soon after and Modya took a deep breath, "Now you listen here bud, I had that fight under control, in fact I could have ended it 10 minutes early if those other Metas had not come in and screwed everything up! Even you with your glue and gadgets , you let flyboy get away back there. Just stay out of my way next time."
She started down the alley to get to the opposite street away from the commotion.
"Thanks to that little brawl I am not going to be late for my dinner date, and I need to get changed before I go. If you ever see flyboy in your special 'mission' or whatever tell him he owes me new glasses."
with that she left hoodie standing on the fire escape, ignoring anything he might have added after her little speech.
Pulling her phone out of her pocket she checked the time, now instead of half an hour she was a full hour late and still needed to get back to her apartment and change her dirty cloths.

Boomstick - Modya's Central Apartment

She had done a pretty good job at avoiding everyone on her walk back to her place, she also got a few texts from her friends who had seen the news about the Meta fight near the park, she told them she was okay but was going to be even more late because the bus she had been waiting for got destroyed. Sighing she tossed her destroyed sweater in the garbage and dusted off her jeans, they had a few new tears but that didn't bother her too much as she threw on a red longsleeve and grabbed a fresh pair of glasses from her drawer. Donning her leather gloves it was time to head back out and get to the restaurant.

Breakdown-Dave's Family Apartment-Fairy/S.A.R.A

After walking the couple of blocks it took to get to the apartment and the fight from earlier Dave was definitely hungry. Walking up to the door, Dave pulled out his key, unlocked the first lock, said the password "Entry protocol 02", and finally after all that, put his glove in the scanner that popped out of the door were they able to enter. Meekly, Dave said "Sorry for the locks, Dad really loves his security. He says it appeals to his inner mad scientist." As the pair entered the door, Dave couldn't help but feel the daggers that were stared at him by by a certain roommate.

With no gentleness in her voice, Sarah said "And what do you think you were doing today? I was worried sick about you!" Flinching at her words a bit, Dave said "And you wouldn't believe who I bought over." As Dave stepped out of the door way and made Momo's presence known. When he did that Dave was sure he saw some steam fly out of her head.

"You know your fathers rules about visitors, you better have a good reason fo-" Dave cut her off, feeling her hysteria a little uncalled for, "I brought her over here because it she needs a place to wait out the excitement that happened today goes down, she's a Meta like me.... plush she needs some real clothes." As the new information was digested by Sarah, Dave made his way to the kitchen and began his preparations for lunch, or dinner. He wasn't too sure.

S.A.R.A- Dave's Family Apartment- Fairy

With new information came more variables, quickly sorting through them Sarah figured that the girl posed no threat. Giving a quick scan of the girl Sarah decided that what Dave said was true, she definitely needed some proper clothes. Seeing as the girl was only slightly shorter than herself Sarah knew that she would have something that would fit her, if at least a size big. Taking the girls hand Sarah lead her to her closet and said "This is what I got sweetie, take your pick." With her default cheer.

Tiger - Home

Riding into the slums of New York, the entire environment seemed to instantly change. He went from high-beaming-bright lights, into near darkness. The entire scent of the city changed as well, a terrible and gruesome aroma filled the air. One could even see the nasty aura coming out of trashcans and sewers. Graffiti roamed every wall of every little-piece-of-shit home.

Anthony had already came out of his Tiger persona, putting away his costume into the backpack strapped to his bike. He now wore a tag-less black shirt and regular torn up jeans with work boots. As he rode through the neighborhood, he could still see those dirt-bag gang members outside their home smoking that trash they always smoke. Fortunately for them, Anthony doesn't mess with the people of his neighborhood, all because he grew up with them. Soon enough, he found himself before his little one story dorm. Well, it was an apartment, but so small it was basically a dorm.

The complex was made of individual apartments. They each had their own storage or garage. It was basically big enough to fit a car - which seemed bigger than the apartment itself. Anthony took that liberty to open his garage and put his bike inside. He then locked it with the best locks money could buy - about five total. The bike itself wasn't exactly purchased, it was sort of borrowed. Borrowed for life. He had painted it all matte black with long custom forks and sixteen inch ape hangers. The engine was the most beautiful part though, it was loud and made the bike go at marvelous speeds for a chopper.

Anyhow, Anthony took his backpack and headed into his apartment. He unlocked the door and headed into his garbage of a home. He threw his bad onto the couch - also his bed - and followed it by instantaneously falling to his butt. He grabbed the remote and turned on the tv, which was placed above a nearly-broken-down desk he got from someones trash. His aunt Marisa sent him money every month to pay his house bill. The woman has no idea what he does, just knows Anthony's parents aren't around anymore - they're in jail. She doesn't know he's a vigilante codenamed Tiger and that he risks his life on a daily basis to keep civilians safe fighting crime.

But as his mind wondered, the television got his attention. "We are here at the scene of the 'battle' as many New Yorkers are calling it. The NYPD and Fire Department are both here along with members of S.T.A.R. Labs and the CDC. Basically everyone is here Jon, trying to figure out what happened. Since we were unable to get any footage of the actual battle, we at ABC7 will be giving a small reward for anyone who can send us any footage to the website below"

"A reward for a picture of me, hahaha that's awesome!" Tiger laughed, cleaning his boots with a damped towel. But suddenly, everything changed. "We have rumors that the United States Department of Defense have taken this little caucus as an act of war. It is claimed that these metahumans have become enemy number one for out forces, but have not confirmed this information. Back to you Jon"

"Dagnabbit! What are they thinkin'! We ain't the bad guys"

"Thank you Jenny. It says here there were six metahumans at the scene tod-" he was cut off as Anthony switched the channel. "Hahahaha. Yeah, they call themselves heroes, can you believe it! Hahahaha. Look at them. Look at these drawings!" the late night show host yelled as his audience laughed at the over excessive pictures people submitted to the show. "Look at this one ladies and gentleman" he said, pointing at a picture of a girl with two giant hairy-gorilla arms beating on her chest as her aviator glasses shone brightly. "We call that one, Bomb Kong! Hahahaha!!!! Because she's hot, but has those crazy King Kong arms. Hahahaha!!!"

At this, Anthony couldn't help but laugh. it was true, now that he looked at it. "Oh, that's rich!" the cowboy said, holding his abdomen as it amused in pain. Then they showed a picture of a naked guy, his entire body colored in red paint. Thankfully, the man's private parts were blurred out. "Oh man, that's nasty" Anthony laughed, covering his eyes with his forearm as the host proceeded to the next picture. It was of a hippopotamus with a cowboy hat with its mouth wide open and the slogan 'IMA FIRIN MAH LAZER' above it.

"Darn-sung, dang-busted, horse-thievin', ugly white host which can't nobody understand proper!" Anthony cursed as he turned the tv off out of rage. It wasn't even him who shot lasers out of his mouth, it was that darn robot-man-thing. "Todos locos" he exclaimed, saying they were all crazy - and it was true. The people didn't truly understand what had happened back there. They just accidentally got caught in the middle of a hunt. It was obvious to Anthony that that certain Meta was there to catch Aviator Girl.

He then closed his eyes and laid down on the sofa, relaxing a bit as he slowly feel asleep.

Momo - Dave's Family Apartment - Breakdown & SARA

Momo had to walk extra cautiously as not to hurt her bare feet on the unforgiving concrete. The delicacy of her steps helped prevent her from getting any cuts, but it didn't do anything against the dirt. When they finally reached his place Momo was amazed by all the hoops Breakdown had to jump through in order to unlock the door. The amount of security was simply impressive. Dave's comment about 'inner mad scientists' made her conjure up images of test tubes, Tesla coils, and arrays of buttons with blinking lights; but as soon as the door opened she saw the apartment was nothing like Frankenstein's laboratory.

"失礼します｡" she said softly as she entered (formal phrase for entering someone's home). Her first instinct was to remove her shoes but that wouldn't be necessary. She was greeted by a startling amount of scolding directed at Dave. This pretty blond girl must be the Sara he spoke of, she certainly made a strong impression on the somewhat terrified Momo.

"You know your fathers rules about visitors, you better have a good reason fo-" Dave cut her off, feeling her hysteria a little uncalled for, "I brought her over here because it she needs a place to wait out the excitement that happened today goes down, she's a Meta like me.... plus she needs some real clothes."

"I-I'm not really a meta... I mean I am, but I'm not" she spoke with almost inaudible shyness. Ever since she got her powers she wasn't really sure if she could be considered a metahuman. Unlike others she wasn't born with her powers, it was given to her. Sometimes she thought it was a curse for intruding on sacred lands. And if it could be given maybe it could be taken away, like it was clothes that could be worn rather than abilities written in her genes. That's what she hoped at least.

After Dave left for the kitchen Sara gave Momo a once over, examining her with her eyes. Was Sara sizing her up? Was Sara afraid Momo was gonna "take her man?" These thoughts only made Sara more intimidating and Momo more frightened. But as soon as Sara grabbed her hand she felt a bit more relieved. Sara's hand was a little cold, but gentle. Her fingers felt kindly delicate. That was when Momo was led to the closet.

"This is what I got sweetie, take your pick."

"Wow!" the selection was overwhelming to Momo, whose wardrobe was limited to kimonos, maid outfits, and school uniforms. Basically, nothing of her choice. Sometimes she got to raid Kimiko's massive closet, but even then all of Kimiko's clothes were very lady-like. Nothing casual or fun. As she looked around Sara's wardrobe she tried to choose something she didn't always have the chance to wear. She ended up with jeans, a tank top, and hoodie.

"Is this okay? It doesn't look strange?" she looked to Sara for approval. Fashion wasn't really her forte so she wanted to make sure she wasn't making a fool of herself.

Now that she thought of it, Sara's wardrobe being here meant that she lived here. Does that mean she and Dave were boyfriend and girlfriend? If they were living together it had to be pretty serious... were they engaged?! It reminded Momo of the times Kimiko's parents took her to 見合い to meet potential spouses. Kimiko was from a wealthy family so arranged marriages aren't that uncommon. Momo never liked it when Kimiko went to those, even though she never met any of the potential spouses she never liked any of them for some reason.

"So um, how do you know Dave" Momo asked Sara out of curiosity. Her love of romance novels meant she couldn't help but pry. Maybe she should work on her own romance for once.

"I guess the party is over." Light said as she noticed everyone was splitting up, butterfly girl apparently going with glowing boy and angel girl nowhere to be seen. Same with the cowboy and masked hero who's name she didn't know but apparently everyone else did. with nothing better to do, Light decided to continue to her walk through the city, taking in some more interesting sights. She had already seen the tourist attractions of New York like the statue of liberty and the like, and was looking more at the lesser known parts of the city in hopes of finding something to entertain her, much like the fight earlier had done.

Nothing nearly as interesting was happening as day turned to twilight, at least from what Light could see. besides the panic that the previous fight had caused, for the most part people seemed to be living their normal lives. When Light passed by a TV stand, she couldn't help but watch the news of the fight that had happened just a little while ago. Apparently there was no footage of the fight, but a reward was being offered for some, followed by the news caster labeling off a bunch of defense departments and ending with how the local army seems to have it out for the 'metahumans', which Light could only guess were people with superpowers. She couldn't help but laugh at this statement. "Thats so silly. Why not just offer those metahumans a steady reliable job as a super soldier or something? Besides, its not like the military can do anything to the evil metahumans anyway, otherwise they wouldn't be around would they?" Light said, a few bystanders looking at her oddly while a few nodded their heads in agreement. With the news changing to sports, Light walked off, looking for something else to do.

After a little while she found herself in the slums of New York, one of the areas she hadn't visited due to how it smelled like sewage most of the time. "Well I've been mostly everywhere else, might as well look around here..." Light said as she walked through the dank alleyways and poorly lit streets, noticing the poor rundown apartments and the homeless on the street. Things didn't get interesting until she walked beside an alley way, where a mugger jumped out brandishing a knife. "Well I suppose this is interesting. Wonder how cliche he'll be." she thought to herself as she matched the mugger word for word with the standard "give me your money" line, confusing and infuriating him. He was in for a surprise though when he went to stab her, as while the knife did go into Light's shoulder, he found himself being tossed into the air like a ragdoll, landing in a nearby dumpster and being knocked out by the landing. "Yep, shame when the most interesting thing to happen to you in the past hour is a knife in your shoulder". Light said as she pulled the knife out and tossed it into a nearby trashcan, her wound disappearing after a few moments. Of course this did cause quite a commotion, and people from the nearby apartments looked out their windows to see what was going on.

Tiger - City Slums

Similar screams began to arise from outside of Anthony's apartment. These noises interrupted his much needed sleep. The cowboy was not pleased by this abrupt interruption. Anthony grunted as he stood and stared out his blinds. He saw some of his neighbors running both ways across his apartment.

Suddenly, a teen - one of Anthony's friends - knocked on his apartment window. "Dude! Sum' guy just came fly in' into a trash can, it's rad bro!!" He said from outside the apartment. Anthony jumped back after closing his blinds and zipped open his backpack to pull out both his uniform and his weapon.

After putting on his bandana and most-trustworthy hat, he covered both hands with LexCorp gloves and holstered his fancy revolver. "Giddy-up, let's go!" He told himself as he exited through the back of his home, ending up in a dark one-exit alleyway. He started through run through the crowd, nobody really noticing his get up due to their fear of what they had just seen. "He just came flying an-"

"Yea, she told me one of em' metas threw hi-"

"I saw her over there, but I don't exactly rememb-"

Tiger heard this over and over from many different people as he followed the clues. He looked at the trajectory of the the flying body and followed its path. As an exceptional marksman and tracker, it wasn't too hard to find the initial contact point, and the criminal.

He was actually capable of coming up behind the girl and pointed his gun at her. She didn't seen too villainous, bit matched the numerous descriptions people echoed through the community. "Madam, I need you to put yur hands up for me and turn around. I heard you been a naughty girl today, throwin' people across buildings and stuff. That's no way to act now, now is it?"

"You meta humans always causin trouble ain't ya"

Light was ready to move to the next area, bored and a little weary of the commotion she caused, not expecting this much for a mugger attack, until she heard someone cock a gun behind her and a voice she heard before, though she couldn't place it. She turned around to see the cowboy from earlier, and gave him a friendly wave. "OH hi! I remember you from earlier today. You were the one who irritated that 'I can take a punch' guy with eye shots. That was pretty funny." Light said giving him a smile, unafraid of his gun.

Seeing him uneasy with her having tossed a mugger into a dumpster a block away, she said."Well what would you do? Shoot him in the kneecap? After all, he did stab me with a knife. a 6 inch switchblade if I remember right, I dunno, check that garbage can." Light said, pointing out the garbage can she threw the knife with one hand while scratching the area she was recently stabbed with the other, the wound having already been completely healed by now.. "But of course everyone here seems to think the noise of someone being thrown in a dumpster is worthy gossip. Must be very boring here for that to be the case." She continued, looking around at the people attempting to look down at her and the cowboy, but were unable to locate the pair very easily due to them being in an alley.

"What are you doing here anyway? I thought you'd live in a saloon or something. I dunno, I'm not that knowledgeable on cowboys yet." She said, still smiling.

S.A.R.A- Dave's Family Apartment- Fairy

"Is this okay? It doesn't look strange?" Sarah gave her a quick scan, the colors were complimentary and while not elegant clothes in and of themselves it fit what little data on her personality that she had the girl. Plus it brought out her eyes. With her usually pleasant voice and a smile Sarah said, "You look fine sweetie." As the two left a smell entered Sarah's "nose", tomato soup and grilled cheese, one of Dave's favorites. However her thoughts were interrupted by a question she didn't see coming,

"So um, how do you know Dave" Now that was a question she hadn't expected from such a girl, but a lack of solid data would do that to you. Searching her data bank for an appropriate reaction, an act that took but mere milliseconds, Sarah chose the most likely and gave a quick giggle. "A little nosy are we eh? Me and Davy here go way back, since he discovered his powers in fact. I was just a lab jockey then, running tests, cleaning beakers, organizing blue prints, that sort of thing. But when little 'ol Davis here started turning everything he touched into dust, including the floor which I might add is very difficult to replace, I was placed as his official nanny." With a mischievous little grin and a gentle elbow, Sarah said "I ain't gonna get in between you two lovebirds."
