1) yeah I just read through earlier! Can use that to fuel the guy's hatred for the hero!
2) Was not aware of that! No worries! Might just go with one of the others then!
3) Honestly I wasn't planning on this storyline happening any time soon for that very reason! If we ever get to the point however where the team forms and are thdn stopped, then these guys will temporarily take the role!
I am fine with it, but I just wanted to make a few comments.
1) Make sure you read the first post in the IC. Shocker appears there.
2) While his empire still exists, the Kingpin is still out of the country, looking after his sick wife (I believe that what it says in my character sheet. Other crime bosses (Hammerhead, Silvermane, the Rose, etc) are trying to fill this vacuum.
@nitemare shape: Did anyone ever try to tell them that wild animals eat wild animals? Did they not watch the Lion King and understand the Circle of Life! All I can say is, C'mon Man!
I'm going to begin working on a post in about an hour after a get some schoolwork done! Now Ant-Man has arrived the party can get started!
If it's cool, I might introduce a small minor character considering i'm now down to only America so that I can still post if she's ever being held up or something! If that's cool with you anyway @dedonus. If so I'll get a sheet up!
That's fine. It is always good to have at least one spare character to use if you are hung up on a collaboration. :)
For those at the Chambers Building, this post will happen, chronologically after you have deactived the Lost Haven device. However, that means that you only have Icon, Thunderbolt, Boom, and maybe Lyger available for assistance. I needed to get this post up, but I also did not want to basically make what you guys doing pointless now.
“So, any questions before we continue?” Almost immediately, Chris noticed that a hand shoot up. However, he did not recognize the girl who had a question, although he did remember the other two metahumans from Albany. There was a faint memory in his head about this girl, but he could not place his thumb on it. Therefore, he pondered on it while Sammy asked her question.
“Um, where did that adorable metahuman, who is named Lyger, go?”
“What are you talking about? He’s just right…” Chris allowed his comment trail off because when he scanned the group, he realized that Sammy was right. Lyger was missing. “Wasn’t he listening when I said that Icon and the Speedster Twins were doing the ground search because they would be the most efficient at it due to their speed? I really hope he doesn’t pull this stunt in a more dire situation.”
While he was bemoaning Lyger’s little disappearing act, a light bulb illuminated in Chris’ head. He remembered that he read a S.T.R.I.K.E. report a while ago about the acquisition of a metahuman of a similar description as Sammy, although the paperwork did mention that this individual had the body of an actual cat. “Wait a second. Didn’t S.T.R.I.K.E. ship you off to God knows where they hide any peculiar people or objects that they happen to acquire?”
Sammy just shrugged her shoulders and held her hands up about a little bit above her shoulders, with her palms facing up. “Well, it seems like my ‘capture’ was highly exaggerated.”
“Well, since I wasn’t involved, and therefore cannot be blamed for whatever went wrong, I don’t really care about it. Making sure that STRIKE doesn’t screw up isn’t in my job description. Any other questions?”
“One more.” Sammy chirped in, pointing at the snake tail. “What’s that on the couch?”
“Oh, that’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
“I think that’s his sister, unless this guy bought a pet snake.” Zac mentioned to Sammy and Kelly, since they were either not in West Virginia or they were unconscious at the time when Veronica's 'powers' manifested.
“Half-sister!” Veronica called out from behind the couch. She then sat up, revealing that her skin and hair matched the color tone of her tail, which was somewhere between a pale green and the regular skin color of a human.
“WAIT!” Sammy said as a realization came to her mind. “Is this team going to be full of animal people? Those speedsters you mentioned earlier could dress up like cheetahs, while Radiance here could have an Electric Eel theme. And Lyger is already a Liger, so he already fits in! But I don’t know what you and Icon would be. Maybe zoo keepers?”
“Um…I don’t think that’s quite what we’re shooting for here.” Chris hesitantly responded to Sammy. He was a little taken off guard by Sammy’s outburst, even if her observation incidentally had some truth in it. However, Chris would not have to worry about this because a familiar face appeared on one of the television monitors in the room.
“Hello Chris. I am Archangel for those who do not know me.”
When CHris turned towards the television monitor, he was saw a welcoming face in Archangel. Smiling, he responded. “I cannot lie. There has never been a time where seeing your lovely face has been an unwelcomed sight. What brings you to my doorstep?”
"I have patched your search parameters and am collating with your systems to enhance the search. I have also flagged several false positives. You picked up my home. I'll let you figure out which that is."
“I really appreciate this extra help. We need all the extra manpower that we can get. However, in almost any other circumstance, finding where a woman lives via the internet would make me look kind of like a creeper. Heck, it might even still does.”
"I would have joined you in person but I can do more good here than in a suit. The host of heaven is standing by. Our situation is calamitous. While the devices are locatable the current rate of success to the estimated number of devices leaves a 96.87948487494849474% chance of at least partial activation of the remaining devices. There is a 2.00784873974% chance of fortuitous failure of the devices and a multitude of minuscule probabilities."
“This might be the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for. That Lyger kid is going to pissed when he has learned that we might have just discovered the location of the bomb here in Lost Haven and his foot search might be all for naught.” However it took Chris a few seconds to comprehend what Archangel had said. “Wait, Angie, did you just say devices, as in multiple devices?”
However, before Archangel could respond to his question, heard something from the television that his sister was watching. On the television screen, he saw that there were two news anchors were, with a banner that said “Breaking News”.
“Veronica, turn that up, please.” He asked his sister while he was hurrying over towards the television screen so that he could hear what they were saying.
Anchor 1: “Only a little less than 48 hours ago, a madman, on national television, declared that he was going to unleash some sort of device that would create a doom which would transform all humans into superhuman, starting in Lost Haven and then eventually stretching across the globe. The search for what has been dubbed the ‘Metahuman bomb’ thus far has been undertaken in vain. However, a recent report might give us some promising news”.
Anchor 2: “Just recently, however, the local authorities in four different cities across the United States has received an anonymous tip about the location of four other devices planted in those cities. While this has given cause for concern for the possibility of more devices in other cities and therefore has caused cities nationwide to begin looking for them, at least this allows several hundreds of residents to rest easily knowing that state authorities are working around the clock to disarm the devices that have been discovered”.
Anchor 1: “We’ll keep you all updated on any new developments on this current story”.
However, the news anchors could not have known that they would be reporting more information in a mere matter of seconds. An expression of fear appeared on their faces, even though they tried to hide it for the sake of their views so that they would not cause any mass fear-panics.
Anchor 2: “This just in. It appears”, the woman staggers as she reads aloud the teleprompter, “It appears that a tragedy has befallen us tonight. Reports have come in that green, transparent domes have suddenly formed around the cities of Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Seatle”.
Anchor 1: “Please remain calm and take shelter if you are in one of these cities or in an area nearby”.
Anchor 2: “We have received amateur footage in Philadelphia that records two individuals have already attempted to turn off the device. Although they were successful in their initial attempt, even with the device deactived, the dome has not dissipated over the city. On a positive note, if one can say that, the rate at which the dome is expanding in that area has drastically decreased. We will play this footage momentarily”.
Anchor 1: “Until we heard any updates from Washington, I think all we can do now is wait and prey that everything will turn out alright”.
I know that some of you like crafting lore, but why don't we relax a little on stuff that probably will never see the light of day in the IC. Better to put that energy into something like, I don't know, making posts.
@Dedonus an important note who was it you (Eventually, I'll likely wait till this Avengers team kinda works) wanted out of your cast on the team? Ms.Marvel?
I lost mine and @Nattys doc that we had everything on so I only know who is currently on it and who is X-Men not our potentials xD
Also anyone up-to date on Ultimate Spider-Man? For any Spider wannabes the latest surprise could prove an interesting way to be a Spider (Still with Deds permission) without crossing the Multiverse.
Yes, I would like Ms. Marvel to be on the Avengers eventually. I am going to make her first associated with S.W.O.R.D., which is a branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., so we can go from there. And yes, I might be shamelessly using the Supergirl television series as an influence...bite me (please don't).
Also, no, I have not been up-to-date on Ultimate Spider-Man, or at least the television series, if that what you meant. I'm not updated on the comic either, so...spill the beans!
I have been growing facial hair since the 5th grade. The nun, who was the principal at my elementary school, had to tell me to shave because I was only in 5th grade.
