"And this will work? I've tried countless combinations, it never quite seems to stick with those of a...higher constitution." The emaiciated figure of Doctor Crane sat hunched over his work station, deep in the Gotham underbelly, once a respected figure on the science of the mind, he had, without a doubt, broken his own. The pursuit of his goals had become absolute, and this presented a bound towards the perfection he yearned for.

"Quite certain, the toxin added to the serum should overpower all but a few notable exceptions, but, this is only to be released when instructed." In contrast to the hunched figure of the doctor, the man that stepped out of the shadows was the model of sophistication, a fine tailored suit and dark rimmed glasses of expensive taste. This was the sort of money that required anonymity, not fame.

"Of course, of course." The Scarecrow responded, a little too quickly, he grated under the impression of control, but it would be worth it, to have continued access to the hidden substance that amplified his already potent work. "You may thank the Presiden-Elect for his generous investment." He turned to look at the man standing aside from him, a crooked grin spread across his features. The other man only frowned.

"You will not repeat that, under any circumstances, or there will be a price to pay."

Now

The small gathering of heroes, three together at once, seemed to herald the next stage of the chaos that was Gotham City, something equally felt by the mystical mind of one John Constantine. A wave of darkness seemed to pass through the city, unnoticed by those not attuned to the ways of magic, a curse, screamed with uncomparable fear.

In the next moment, however, the consequence was more than visible to all. The riots that had swept the city descended further into a violent orgy of paranoid attacks. Roving gangs that had united against the monsters they all saw in the shadows, suddenly turned on each other, seeing the same darkness in their hasty allies. Those police units deploy to maintain order and contain the panic when they could not, found their equipment no defence against whatever new threat attacked them. Soon, the spattering of gunfire in the night air became a blaze, as the National Guard turned on itself.

Gradually, in the minds of those capable of perceiving such things, John Constantine among them, the pulse of this new attack brought with it the feverish whispering of words, a sobbing cry, echoing across the pulse of power;

I'll throw down my interest for this, looks like a great concept.
I'll post something once I can think of how to get myself involved post-meeting :P
Second GM post on the way.

Hold on to your fictitious horses.
Nice post!

Just waiting till everyone gets round to their first post before I hit you all with some meaningful direction.
I'm writing up a post now. I think I know how I'm gonna have the Flash in Gotham.


Everyone's coming to Gotham, or at least, everyone should be responding to that situation.
@Ezekiel

So. Anybody reply?


To what?

I've already responded to your last question here in the OOC.
Ugh... trying to figure out how much I need/should nerf Miss Martian...

May end up just treating her like the Young Justice version as far as abilities go...


In regards to power levels, we're going pretty high, but world breaking is out, so I wouldn't worry.


The New Enterprise Tower, The Beauclaire Lounge

The tradition of the 'Election Party' was a tried and tested tradition, the journalists and other primary staff of the major papers and news networks of Metropolis, that weren't involved directly in the live broadcast of the results, all gathered in one place, dolled up and often drunk, regardless of result.

Clark had, of course, never been to one before, he had heard the previous one had been somewhat of a muted affair, what with the vast majority of the media's elite being in favour of a Clinton victory. Then everyone had got well and truly hammered, and it nobody seemed to remember a thing. The location was a grand sky-skraper resaurant, the name of which he'd remember if he truly tried. One of the glass walls, that would usually present a view of the city scape below, had been covered by a projector, displaying in fine detail a variety of news stories, polls, and other data about the vote as it progressed. Clark lent upon the bannister overlooking much of the restaurant floor, taking a sip of his drink. A triple rum and coke, it could only possibly effect him if he directly allowed it to. That had been a relief, when he'd gained control of his power to the extent he could reduce them at will, not just for getting drunk.

He might do so this very night, it looked as if Luthor was going to smash Trump, in an almost historic win for the Democrats. Clark Kent had no love for Donald Trump, but Luthor brought up more questions Clark wasn't ready to answer, about himself, and about the America he knew.

"Not in Kansas anymore." he mumbled to himself, turning his eyes back to the screen.

The screen was currently dominated by the Planet's Media Group's own coverage of the event, a panel of experts and journalists discussing the election and reporting the results as they came in live. Among them, central, sat one Lois Lane, conservatively elegant, as befitting the situation. He actually knew she was rather frustrated at having been selected to anchor the discussion, not her favourite part of the job, and, honestly, she would have rather been at the party. Clark would have probably been willing to switch places, had the offer been on the table.

There was a sudden commotion throughout the room as the coverage jumped, gone were the graphs and interviews, instead simply an image of Luthor, looking as Presidential as ever, a graphic, and beneath it some very important words. Luthor wins Florida. Clark was almost abuzz with deja vu, he had been in almost exactly the same situation four years prior, watching as Florida pushed Trump into the lead. Nothing could better surmise the turnaround over the last four years then the very same state securing victory for Luthor. There would likely be an announcement soon, Luthor was not one to wait, if anything, the press would likely be more interested in any public statement from the now outgoing President. Clark wouldn't wait for either, he was already on the move, heading for the exit. There was much to consider.

The Following Week, Gotham City

BREAKING NEWS;
TERRORIST ATTACK IN DOWNTOWN GOTHAM
ALL DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS GROUNDED
ALL CITY CENTRES TO FOLLOW EMERGENCY PROCEDURE.
REMAIN INDOORS.

Gotham was on fire.
The night sky, turned starless with smoke, was lit up by a thousand fires. The worst of it raged in downtown, but some of the damage was spreading to the more affluent areas of the city, a trend even the crime of Gotham rarely dared to strike against.
None could tell where the attack originated, one moment all was calm, and the next there were cries of gas. then all hell had broken loose. People were attack each other, or roving in large violent gangs, open and brash, unlike the usual insidious caution of Gotham crime. An hour has passed since the first reports, but response is still limited, for what can be done when a city rips itself apart?
IC will be up tomorrow, started it, but after a manic work shift a little tired to get anything done tonight.
