ChevWonder Woman smiled at Shifter, "Animal Man knows heroes when he sees them. He chose wisely in recommending you. Many of us were overwhelmed when we first joined the League, you'll get used to it eventually." Diana caught sight of Aquaman and she smiled even broader. Diana had always felt a certain kinship with Arthur. They both resembled regular humanity but were utterly different, they were both royalty of supernatural civilizations, they both lived in two worlds, and they were both excellent fighters. Though Diana had not yet tested herself against the King of the Sea.
She nodded at Arthur's words,"He's right. For such a new member you proved yourself more than capable. I was highly impressed by your performance." Diana caught Arthur's eye and smiled, "Hello, Arthur. You missed the bout earlier today, Hawkgirl and the others put me through my paces. One of these days you and I should indulge in some friendly competition."

Very good Falkon. Changeling is in. You can put yourself as part of the training group now. Although I do have to wonder what happened to his human substitute.

Pariah gave Rolling Girl his patented stare, his yellow visor locking with her eyes before replying, "This exercise will mimic a real-world operation as closely as possibly. The staff will be using non-lethal weaponry but it will be as close as we can get to real armaments. The instructors have been ordered to use their powers near their full strength. In effect, you will likely experience excruciating pain that you have seldom felt before if it all. I anticipate multiple injuries ranging from cuts and bruises to cracked bones." Several recruits shifted at that, "That said. We will not break you before you join the League. No permanent damage should be inflicted. But I would anticipate some of you earning the chance to hone your first aid skills."
For her second question, Pariah said, "I will not relate any information regarding the positioning of your foes. In a real combat situation, heroes must often deploy into danger with no idea of what they face. If you wish to join the League you must learn to adapt to situations quickly in order to succeed in your mission." Pariah glared at her, impressive considering his eyes were covered, and scanned the rest of the room, "Any other questions?"
Elsewhere, Olympia answered her questions more graciously, "Shank can only teleport two people at the most. Anymore than that and he can't go anywhere, he also can't teleport anything bigger than a fridge with him. Bouncer is as vulnerable as any other human besides her agility and she is not as dangerous at mid to long ranges. Burnout is susceptible to water and ice attacks more than most, and he's pretty dumb to boot. Sarin is susceptible to anything that disrupts her gaseous form, like a wind or ice attack. She can only stretch her gas form as her solid mass allows. And Boomer has to recharge for twenty seconds after self-detonating, and he is also somewhat dumb. None of them have special defenses besides against attacks similar to their own. The biggest concern is what they'll do with the hostages. Sarin, Burnout, and Boomer are particularly dangerous to the hostages and they know that much. They have demanded and I quote, 'a fueled jet, ten supreme pizzas, safe transport, ten million dollars, and for you to fuck yourself' we can only assume an ulterior motive for the robbery. Anything else?"
Olympia answered any questions that were raised and It was at that point that the gunship landed and Olympia strode out with her team. They saw that the Bank was completely surrounded, but Shank was in front of the Bank with a knife to the neck of what looked to be the bank manager. Bouncer was next to him and had her arms around another bank worker. Three of their henchmen flanked them and pointed guns at the police. The police commander walked up to them and Olympia nodded at him, "What's the situation here?"
The commander said, "We got them completely surrounded but Burnout, Sarin, and Boomer have locked themselves in three different rooms with the hostages. Boomer in the lobby, Sarin in the Vault, and Burnout in the upstairs offices. Shank is getting crazier. We need to settle this now." Olympia turned to Hi-Voltage, "Can you knock out the villains without harming the hostages?" And to Sonja she asked, "Any ideas old friend?"

Mat, you can't just make up obstacles and then beat them just to make your character look cool. You have to deal with the problems that I generate and you can't assume your own success until I reply. I want you to edit your post to reflect this.
Everyone can keep posting and disregard Mat's post. There are three supervillains right in front of the group after all.

Vita, sounds like something straight from a comic-book haha.
Arty, that's good. You'll be one of the people going through the obstacle course.
I updated Rainmaker's team and the initiation course. Still waiting on someone from Olympia's team to post.

Rainmaker answered Arachnid, "CPD has already set up a perimeter around the shopping center with snipers and a whole bunch of patrol cars, the villains won't be getting out no matter what happens. The SWAT Teams have already cleared a few sections of the mall but they've been pinned down and are securing a cordon around the inner sections, where the villains are. We'll be going in alone. We don't know how many people are in the mall but we can assume many of them have been taken hostage. If you encounter any wounded, do what you can and let Evergreen do her best to patch them up. We'll call in medevac as needed. We can expect at least two dozen thugs with assault weapons, possibly more. The building has suffered no major damage as the villains simply came in through the doors. St. Michael, myself and the official Leaguers will take on the villains directly. The rest of you will give us support as needed but if you see any civilians your main job is to secure them." When Arachnid mentioned her theory Rainmaker's face remained passive, "We can't speculate at this time but rest assured, we will capture and interrogate the villains."
The VTOL came closer to the shopping center and the doors opened, allowing the heroes to view a massive police blockade around the shopping mall with several teams of SWAT officers inside the building itself trading fire with armed thugs. Rainmaker spoke up again, "Nimbus will throw in a big gust to get them off balance then I'll give us some cover inside. St. Michael goes in first and then we storm the building and neutralize the threats. Equip yourselves with these infrared goggles to help you see through the mist." The heroine flew out the gunship's doors with her team in tow. They entered the barricaded zone and entered the mall. Bullets were being traded back and forth, and Shade a diminutive Caucasian man and Surgeon, a lanky african-american man were firing away with pistols next to half a dozen of their henchmen who had assault rifles, taking cover and firing at the SWAT teams. Permafrost was in the lead and firing ice blasts at the police, shielded behind a block of ice.
Rainmaker nodded at Nimbus who raised his arms and fired a massive gust of wind, knocking over the villains onto their backs and shattering Permafrost's cover. Shade suddenly disappeared and Surgeon extended his twelve-inch razor claws before getting back to his feet. Permafrost was dazed and cut by several ice shards, and was slowly getting a hold of himself. Rainmaker created a mist inside the building and fired a few lightning bolts which shocked a couple of henchmen who got back to their feet. Rainmaker shouted, "Go!"
Back at the Hall of Heroes, once the recruits made their way inside the hall they were ushered into several different rooms. Along the way they passed a grand sign declaring the building to be the Hall of Heroes and headquarters of the League of Heroes. Several staff and established members cast appraising glances at the recruits as they made their way through the clean and impressively sized hall. Our heroes and a few other recruits found themselves in a small briefing room where Pariah stood at the head of the room next to a large door. There was just enough room for Neutro to stand. Pariah stared at the recruits for several seconds before he said, "Zenith may have a lot of confidence in you, but that confidence is not shared by me. Perhaps a couple of you are people I can actually trust to get the job done," Pariah inclined his head to Strix, Warp, and a few other heroes he knew, "But the rest of you are much more suspect."
"If you want to join this League, then you'll have to pass a course of my own design. It is an urban obstacle course and the objective is to secure a bus full of civilians from a group of metahuman terrorists. Along the way you'll encounter several armed henchmen and terrorists who will be played by existing staff and members we have at the League. Along with a few surprises of my own. You will neutralize all threats non-lethally. You will not harm any bystanders, who will be Aurora's projections. You will inflict minimum collateral damage. And you will do so as quickly as possible."
Pariah stared each and every one of them down in the eye or what passed for eyes, "Failure to do so will mean failure to join the League. This course will be followed by evaluations from League Members. Any questions?"
