Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

How's everyone's weekend looking? My workweek starts today so, yknow.

@Dead Cruiser

I'm personally just waiting until another precinct person replies

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Quick snappy post for Gabi.

I have made her take charge of the lil' precinct team, but honestly, if anyone wants to contest that, please feel free!

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

To Gabi’s surprise, the final blow didn’t come from one of her teammates, but by someone else entirely. As she let the unconscious body of the brute slink out of her arms and onto the floor, she looked up at their saviour, not knowing what to think.

She – and she could only tell it was a she from her voice – seemed to be dressed entirely in a suit of black armour. The only detail that popped out from the darkness of her suit was her mask, which seemed to be adorned in the shape of a skull, with a brilliant pink cross leaving a perfect target on her forehead. She was an imposing sight. Her costume did not exactly scream super-hero, however, given she had just helped them, she had to be on their side. Right?

“Thank you…” Wonder-Girl managed, wiping the sweat from her brow.

“Who are you meant to be?” She continued, taking another glance at the cross. “The Pink X?”

She gazed around the front of the precinct, taking everything in. Catching one of Hayden’s dinosaurs taking down one of the final gunmen, she smiled. It would seem that between them all, the front of this area had been cleared. She wondered if the team at the bank were having this much success.

They certainly weren’t out of the woods yet though, as the sound of gun fire continued to ring out from the rear of the complex. Gazing towards the noise, she rallied the group around her before moving forward.

Same here! Need to get up Gabi's reaction to Kali

Love Will Keep Us Together: A Suicide Squad RPG

<Snipped quote by GubGar>

Yeah I'd recommend going a slightly different route.

@Byrd Man

Does this mean a character like Zebra-Man may also not be the best approach?

Just when she needed them most, Wonder Girl found the rest of the team coming to her aid. An explosion of fire erupted from the back of the brute's head just before he could swing, causing him to roar in pain once more as his mask was blown from his face. The source of the attack was quickly made clear as Kevin, the team's resident pyromaniac, ran forward from the building. He wasn't the only one either. From the right side, after having just taken care of the gunmen, emerged Gabi's new friend from the stars; Varo.

Despite their attempts, however, it would seem the might of the Renegades was not enough. As soon as he even got near to the superpowered thug, Kevin found himself plummeting into the pavement from a single swing of their arm. Varo's magical space energy seemed to be slightly more effective thankfully. The energy collided with the brute in a firework of light, pushing him back. However, it soon became clear that that was all it seemed to have done, with the thug simply shrugging off the attack before calmly walking towards his new target.

Even if the attacks hadn't proved too effective, at the very least they were a fine distraction. Temporarily free from the potential of the brute's fury, Gabi scrambled to her feet, sparing a moment to catch her breath and wipe the sweat from her brow. She moved quickly, her eyes locked on the back of the brute as she darted towards her new target; the girl needed her axe back.

Scooping it off of the floor, Gabi twirling the weapon in her hands before moving once more.

Leaping forward through the rain, she collided heavily with the brutes back. He reared back immediately, yet once again she was too quick for him. Arms over his shoulder, she swung her axe around his neck into her other hand, pressing it against his neck as she secured her position. She pulled back hard, squeezing her weapon against his trachea, as her body moved from side to side to avoid his squirms.

Choking him out, she felt the brute topple down onto his knees, his hands now clawing at her desperately.

Managing a glance upwards at her teammates, she motioned for them to lay the finishing blow, as she pulled with all her might.

Hoping to get another post up either tomorrow or friday! :)

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Had a busy week. Got a new kitten and just today a large, fresh tattoo. Will try and get a post up tomorrow most likely.

Are we allowed to exert minor control over the goons? I kind of want to throw Dandelion into the fray, just to be swatted casually aside.

@Dead Cruiser

I assume so! I took full control of one of the brutes in my post! I guess just try and keep them in character

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Have left a nice little opening for someone at the Precinct to save Gabi from getting the Omni Man treatment

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

All the brute could do was throw his arms over his face as the teenage girl fell upon him, the sharp blade of Wonder Girl’s axe plunging into the invigorated muscle of his arm. It tore through the man’s flesh, before becoming wedged in place. Gabi found herself dangling a few feet off the air, her hands still gripped on the handle above her.

The scream the brute let out in retaliation was a combination of pain and pure rage. He swung his arm out wildly, sending Gabi flying as her hands slipped from the handle of her trusty weapon. She tore along the street, tearing up pieces of concrete as she tumbled into the side of a parked policed cruiser. She groaned in pain as she fell forwards onto her hands and knees. Seconds into the fight and she was already battered and bruised.

She was grateful at the very least that she had the wearing on her side today. She lifted her arm, catching a drop of rain on one of the newly made cuts on near her elbow. She immediately found herself feeling better as the cuts began to close up. It would still take some time for her to fully heal, but it was a start. She was definitely in need of all the help she could get at this point.

She glanced back towards the center of the street, where she watched the hulk of a man clutching his wounds. Wincing in pain, the behemoth pulled her blade from his wound, as if simply removing a thorn, before tossing it carelessly onto the ground.

The brute stepped towards her, flexing his biceps as he moved to crack his knuckles together. Gabi gritted her teeth. This was going to be tougher than she expected.

Wonder Girl lunged forwards once more, seconds before the brute did himself, narrowly avoiding the swing of his fist as she darted around him. She punched outwards at his side as she did so; short quick jabs just like Kevin had taught her back in the team’s gym. It was effective, with the attack causing him to lose his balance slightly. He swung again, with Gabi simply repeating the same maneuver. A quick dodge with a couple more jabs, the last of which colliding with the man’s jaw.

She was simply making him angrier though, with whatever power that was giving him strength also amplifying his rage. Gabi hoped that the anger would make him slopy, however as she tried to duck and weave for the third time in a row, she realized that she should not have been so foolish.

This time he was waiting for her. As she ducked under one of his arms, the brute made a grab with the other, firmly grasping her arm. Yanking her towards him, he swung one more, his fist hitting Gabi like a ton of bricks as she shot down into the concrete below his feet.

Letting out a short chuckle, he flexed his muscles once more as he moved to finish the job.
