Post #3.01: Shape Up

Wally and Vic had everyone at the Academy in the entrance lobby on the ground floor. Some of the part-timers were understandably absent from the group like Chemaxzord, while other young metahuman heroes were strangely nowhere to be seen.

“Hey Cyborg, what’re we doin’ here? And why isn’t wolfman and fishboy here? They get expelled or somethin?”Switchblade asked looking around.

“Everyone here today will get to experience the new underground training facility and meet the newest trainer here at the Academy. Some of you may have caught him hanging around a couple days ago. Accelerate and Shattercrash have already been working with him some to make final adjustments to the AI.” Cyborg explained.

“That still doesn’t explain where Blitz and the other guy are at…” another Academy student mumbled.

“Blitzkrieg’s father was concerned about his son on tv and social media with primary elections coming up in his state. He’s had to take a leave of absence for now. Dragonson is a different story. Our security cameras recorded him walking out into the bay area and never coming back. We’re assuming it’s something to do with his life under the sea…” the Flash explained to the group further.

Some of the students mumbled here and there. Some of them talked about Atlantian conspiracies and Dragonson. Others spoke of the fresh new suits that Accelerate and Shattercrash had been outfitted with. They took the elevator down six people at a time, and the entire group took four trips with everyone in attendance as well as the two mentors.

“Some of you probably noticed the new suits your teammates are sporting. Everyone will get to come up with something before going into the War Room. The clothing digitizer will take images in your mind and the raw materials from everything you’re wearing and create a functional battle suit ready to take hits in combat heavy situations while in the War Room and in the field…” Cyborg continued as the group walked down the hallway to the viewing area. “The War Room is a colosseum sized holographic simulator equipped with holo-droids that can mimic nearly any supervillain or threat. It looks like Arsenal is taking down Billy Numerous in a mall scenario…”

“..and making the rest of us look like jokes.” Alex responded to what was on the screens in front of them.

After a few moments the simulation was over and Arsenal came walking out of one of the exits.

“I guess this is everyone then?” asked Roy.

“They’re all yours.” replied Cyborg with a smile.

“Okay then. Class? My name is Roy. I used to be the partner of Green Arrow. I’ve been a member of the Justice League, and I was a founding member of the Teen Titans along with Wally. In the field my codename is Arsenal. Something everyone in this room needs to work on is codenames and not yelling someone else’s secret identity to nearby civilians. Another thing this group desperately needs to work on is collateral damage. Isn’t that right little miss One Punch Girl?” Arsenal asked looking directly at Shattercrash in her bright new attire, complete with a giant spiked shoulder pad.

“A lot of the damage at STAR Labs and the Midway Mall could’ve been avoided. I’m not always gonna to be around to clean up messes for the Academy. Sooner or later the investors will stop investing money and resources if we don’t get our act together.” The Flash said chiming in.

	“Feeding two dozen wannabe heroes and having a round the clock medical staff isn’t cheap. So I’ve got to make Titans out of you before you knock over a building or kill somebody. Who wants to try the clothing digitizer first and step into the War Room?” Arsenal asked motioning over to the high tech looking machines. "I'll go, just promise not to give me anything too tight..." Chie said stepping forward boldly, raising her hand. She was pretty peeved by the way they were being treated. It was a fluke, it had to be. She could deal with armed Joker goons like they were child's play. It was hard for her to accept this harsh badgering when she was too busy trying to keep her crew together to take out the perp. Ego aside, she decided it would be better to get this punishment of sorts over with. "Just picture your favorite superhero suits in your mind, maybe something from one of those Red Circle Comics movies. Nothing specific unless you've got a symbol or something in mind..." Arsenal explained as Shuriken stepped into the clothing digitizer. The young female hero stepped out in what essentially looked like light armor mixed with ninja attire. A hood covered her head and she looked like she was an ally of Batman himself now. "Who wants to go next and then go into the War Room for an exercise with her?" Arsenal continued.	..................................................... ...

Post #1.13: Finale

Everything was a blur. All of Cyborg’s systems were back online thanks to the quick work of Accelerate and not a moment too soon. One of the rookie heroes was falling from the sky back through the hole in the ceiling lit up like a bomb. Unknown to most her power was amplified by Sacrifice. Accelerate was mid-air on a collision course with the girl with a power dampening collar the magnetic monster had retooled for himself as a counter measure days earlier. What could the cybernetic superhero do? In seconds his mind calculated several outcomes and it was obvious.

“Roy, is the War Room ready?” asked Vic aiming his arm cannon at the falling heroes.

“Still needs a couple minor things but yeah, why..?” asked Roy Harper from seemingly a com device built into Cyborg.

“Get ready for a potential bomb.” Cyborg stated creating a Boom Tube beneath Accelerate and Shattercrash after the speedster snapped the collar on the bright haired girl.

Back at the Academy, in what was to be the underground training facility, Shattercrash and Accelerate hit the ground with a thud rather than a bang. They both looked up to see an unimpressed Arsenal.

"That's gonna leave a bruise. But hey... We're not dead in a fiery explosion. That's above expectation." Accelerate cursed under his breath, coughing and holding his ribs.

“Yeah, this team needs a lot of work…” Arsenal said looking down at the young heroes.

STAR Labs….

“What in the hell, Cyborg?! That was our only shot at taking this guy down!” screamed Switchblade as things were still sideways and shrapnel flew in all directions.

The lab was a complete wreck at this point. More of the ceiling had caved, several walls were destroyed, and heroes were scattered everywhere while the EMS crews outside tended to the scientists and visitors who were in the building when Polaris erupted. Flamebird was still throwing the occasional fireball, and Oracle was invisible somewhere. After taking a swipe at Polaris, Blitzkrieg was pinned to the floor with heavy pieces of steel from the foundation of the building.

“WE CAN STILL HELP YOU EMERSON! WE KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!” Cyborg screamed as the mad scientist let his guard down momentarily and touched down on the floor.

“I could rip you apart again, limb from limb. Emerson no longer exists. I am…” Polaris began stating before Switchblade came in with a needle he turned into a solid steel spear getting the metahuman madman in the shoulder.

“Gonna feel THAT in the morning!” Switchblade screamed as the debris holding down Blitz became less heavy, and all of the floating debris fell to the ground.

The team began to rally together and for a few moments Polaris panicked. He almost lost control. He feverishly looked back and forth, and questioned his chances now with an injured arm that was bleeding out. He was in shock but he quickly snapped back into his insanity.

“You Titans aren’t worth my time. I’ll see you again, Cyborg…” Polaris said floating out of the destroyed ceiling after throwing Switchblade into Cyborg.

	Later, at the Academy… Several of the students had gone straight to the Med Bay to get checked out by the medical staff. Others questioned where their teammates had gone when Cyborg created a Boom Tube. “I was going to keep it a surprise until next week, but we needed some place that could withstand a human bomb.” Cyborg began to say with a few young heroes around the lobby area on the top floor of the Academy where all of their personal quarters were located as well as the main elevator. “We brought on somebody to help you guys in combat training, and an underground training Colosseum of sorts has been built about half a mile below the Academy.” Cyborg continued as Arsenal walked out of the elevator casually. “Where’s Shattercrash and the speedster?” Cyborg asked. “I told them if they helped me finish the odds and ends they could help me calibrate the settings and holo-droids and try the War Room. I think they’re on their third or fourth battle simulation…” the red and black clad hero responded. “We’re going to need to call Wally…” Cyborg began. “I already gave him the heads up. I think the news reported him on the scene helping with the rebuilding of STAR Labs about twenty minutes ago. Mister Terrific is there too with a few dozen of those T Spheres. I thought you were always connected to the internet and breaking news, Vic?” Arsenal, aka Roy Harper asked. “Probably need to jack into the system in my room and reset a few things. Probably a few extra firewalls still up… maybe I should get me a few of those T Spheres…” Cyborg laughed heading to the elevator.	..................................................... ...

The Justice Society

@Omega ManSo, no original speedsters, that sounds like?

@BenG85

They would just need to be tied to the Quick legacy or Jay Garrick. They couldn't be 'the Flash' proper, that's all.

EDIT: As of now there's five accepted character sheets and a few interested parties but not other sheets. Still need another player or two with completed sheets before we can move this one any further...

The Justice Society

@BenG85The only connection to the Speed Force I'm willing to accept would be either Johnny or Jesse Quick, as the Flash himself is off limits. Can't remember what the superspeed formula they shout is, but I always thought they were a fun legacy that ran alongside the golden age Flash.

The Justice Society

@BirdboyVigilante and Sir Justin in the JLU cartoon was pure gold. Bring that energy plz...

The Justice Society

@PumpkinIsACat Maybe Golden Eagle or Northwind as a secondary?

@Omega Man Added a secondary.

@Blizz Maybe go with a light-based character like Brighteyes or The Ray? Or the other Hal Jordan?

@Divine Darkness

Just saw your secondary was another archer. Needs to be something more in line with the Society. It's unlikely that a teenage girl with a bow and no ties to a Society legacy hero would get in, but two? Tons of great examples being thrown around by everybody...

Might change my secondary one more time since Atom Smasher may be a character somebody wants to use since he's showing up in Black Adam soon. Two potential players have shown interest in different interpretations of Dr. Fate, so @Birdboy might wanna go ahead and pick somebody else too.

If I could get a CS typed up before Friday, I'd just make Starman 1 Million another NPC/Plot device and do something a little different with somebody like the Human Bomb. I've got about a dozen or so ideas for JSA related heroes LOL

The Justice Society

@PumpkinIsACat It could be some version of Hawkman with her, or generally anybody tied to the JSA. Since that other player isn't joining with Fury you could have a version of her running around all Amazonian like...

The Justice Society

Here's a list of the accepted characters, the mentors, the folks still needing a CS, as well as the secondary characters. Anything needing altered will be noted...

Titans Academy

For anybody reading this and not checking Discord, this thing isn't dead LOL. Slowing working on finishing up Episodes 1 & 2 ad then we'll be moving straight along with the entire gang into Ep. 3 to introduce the next team mentor and combat trainer... ARSENAL.

Currently our Co-GM is having computer issues, and another player @Wxer has been silent for a bit (we all hope you're doing okay!).

Stay tuned.
