An Outsider

Batman: Gotham Knights

Man, I reckon when they meet up Galahad is gonna speak to Vulture for about twenty seconds, realise he can't stand him, then shoot him in the stomach.

Yeah, I think to the characters Micheal would be the least likely choice to lead. He's the only one they've never heard of before, has yet to prove himself able, and has moral standing that the rest would find laughable, except maybe Kali.

Mass Effect: Mercenaries

It wasn't too much of a surprise that they took heed of him this time, after all an angry Krogan is hard to ignore, but it was still pleasant all the same. The conversation went much the way he had imagined it would. Kali looked contrite, then slipped on the guise of a diplomat, all the while strenghthing her own position within the group. Kerr'Shal acted with glib superiority, as most air-heads with inflated opinions of themselves are want to do. Micheal got all defensive, refusing to own his mistake and instead trying to ingratiate himself with the group, spouting some shit about being a co-leader, like that had ever worked ever. Alexa bitched and bled. Arlius just stuttered, but mentioned something about having cars on the way to take them to the hospital.

Still, they mostly made valid points, especially Kali. Contrary to what the others might belive Raze had no desire to lead, to many bad experiences with that sorta thing in the past. Like he had said earlier, a warrior had to know their strengths and their weaknessess, and while his ability to lead wasn't exactly a weakness, it wasn't exactly a strength either, probably owing to how he preferred to work solo. No, his first choice had always been Kali, and by the way the cards were landing that seemed to be the case with most of them present. He would have grinned at how these fools rushed to do just as he wished, but that would have gave the game away.

He accepted Alexa from Kali, knowing that while the rest could probably carry her he would be the least burdened by her. He chuckled at the Fists continuly bad manners and abrasive attitude, even while injured. Still, she put Micheal in the frame, letting him know that he was in no way suited to leadership, at least not yet. Maybe he would be one day, if he stood close to Kali and learnt a thing or two, but until then he would be a grunt, just like the rest of them.

"Kalros's teeth woman, you sure you ain't part Krogan? You certainly got the temper for it!" He ambled towards the skycars with Alexa bundled in his arms.

I THINK you missed Light, but by god is it busy so I don't blame ya. I missed a few people myself in my post and so did Yog, so no worries. Going to have a round at my dartboard to see how MC replies to that threat methinks.BTW, I like how busy this RP is.

I did, but that was by design to be honest. Between Agnes and MC I think his attention is full. He can get freaked out by the fish lady later lol.

Apologies if I missed anyone in my post, I think I got a shout out to everyone in the common room scene, but I may have missed someone with how busy it's gotten lol

Volt hadn't really expected his offer to Cord to go down all that well, so to say he was surprised that the idea landed in fertile ground was an understatement. Sure, she said she was unlikely to take him up on the offer overly much, but that suited him down to the ground. Hell, if she never spoke to him again he would just shrug his shoulders and say 'at least I tried.' Still, he was quickly growing to like the lassie, especially after the barely concealed mischievous glint in her eye when she spoke to Hot-Rod. Call it a premonition, but ah reckon Ryker is gonnae find reason ta regret annoying oor newest recruit.

Aye, Tommy was just starting to congratulate himself on a job well done, just as it all went to Hell in a hand basket again. You'd think someone with such a terrible track record with optimism as he had would have learnt their lesson by now, but no, he kept letting his hopes get high, just to watch them get dashed against the pavement, over and over again. And Szymon wonders why I'm such a miserable git.

The first, and admittedly probably the least, of the problems came in the form of a slightly pear shaped lassie Volt had never met before. She had a shy, yet pretty smile, on her face but her eyes were all for the food stacked high on Cord's plate. She asked the group how the were with all the confidence he would have expected from a hermit that hadn't seen another human being in twenty years. Obviously another newbie, though lacking Cord's unique 'charm'. Ordinarily Volt would have welcomed the lass, introduced himself then asked her name, because after all his mother had raised him a gentleman. Of course that woulda have been two easy a fix, and the universe just couldn't be having that, oh no! It, the universe that is, decided that the Lightning-Slinger could probably handle a few more upsets, this one called 'Agnes'.

Agnes was confident were the last girl had been shy, too confident really, but then crazy people usually are. Ironically Volt's on self-assuredness plummeted upon Agnes's arrival, but to be fair to her that might have more to do with the detonator she was carrying than the girl herself. And of course, she's a Hot-Rod fan. First person ah've ever met who actually knows who he bloody is, an she's a bloody nutcase!

It would be fair to say the Lightning-Slinger froze for a while after that, if only for a heartbeat, a rictus of a grin still plastered across his face. It was true what he had said earlier, terror still gripped him now as easily as it had at the beginning of his career. At the start he'd always wondered if fearlessness came with time, but he'd slowly come to realise that fearlessness was an attribute of the stupid or the dead. No, he'd just have to live with being a coward that routinely found himself in terrifying situations. That heartbeat frozen was all he needed though, just a second of giving himself over to the fear and he was ready to act again, even if all he wanted to do was curl into a ball and bawl for his ma.

Cord was speaking to Agnes now, and he could hear the steel in her voice, cold and hard. Starting to think ah was wrong, this lass definitely is League material, probably more than ah ahm. Christ, Volt had been chumming around with all sorts of super humans for years now, but he was forced to concede that Cord might be the toughest people he'd ever met. Her whole speech stood out as one of the most badass things he'd heard in along time, not quite as good as the time Sonja sucked up the poisonous gas villain Sarin in a vaccum cleaner, but still pretty good. As the only senior member of the League present (not counting Hot-Rod, but then Volt rarely did.) and with Cord's example already set, the Lightning-Slinger knew he had to take charge of the situation. After all, Ryker had treated Agnes like she was some sorta over-zealous fan, not a dangerous potential bomber.

He pushed himself out his chair, calm and smooth like a new churned buttermilk, despite his heart beating like a snare drum in his chest. He spotted a dog licking the other new girl's hand in the corner of his eye, and wondered who it belonged to. Strange the things ye notice when ye think yer gonna die. He looked Agnes straight in the eyes, sure he could see the crazy there.

"Ah dunno who ye are Agnes, an am nae sure if ye ken who ah am, but let me catch ye up. Ma name is Hi-Voltage, like thon AC/DC song, an ah produce an manipulate electrical currents. All kinds. Like those anes that run through the human brain. So, an ah feel ah'm asking ye nicely, if'n ye dinnae hand me that there detonater then ah'm gonna go ahead and drain every single lil impulse in yer heid. Ah wanna say it wid be painful, but ah doubt it. Ah reckon it wid just kill ya." Volt was impressed by how steady his voice sounded, or at least as impressed as a man ca be while facing the very real possibility that he may soon be meeting his death by explosion. The real kicker was that he wasn't even sure he could do what he had threatened, in fact he didn't even know if it was possible. It was just something that Silvertongue had told him to say once if he ever had to threaten someone.

It was during this tense moment that a pink plushie bear floated down from the air and sconed Volt across the head.

"And ye!" the Lightning-Slinger swung on MC, sounding like a school teacher dealing with a rowdy pupil "If ye throw one mair of thon bloody bears ah'm gonna pull ye down here and make ye eat the damn thing!"

@MrDidact, since Ocean Warrior is new and doesn't know his way around, are you going to post with someone directing him where he could go in the Hall of Heroes?

You could have him wander the halls Yog, and accidentally stumble across the training room. I think The Biddz is still waiting for someone to fight The Flashbolt Accolyte, reckon Ocean Dweller could put him through his paces!
