Gotham City: Shadow of the Bat

Finally got my post up :D

Gotham City: Shadow of the Bat

---

---

As Bastion patrolled through the city of Gotham, sticking to back alleys and shadows, he began to notice something odd. Granted, most of Gotham could be considered "odd" but this still caught his eye. Every manhole cover he passed, every entrance to the sewers, were guarded by men. Sometimes just one guy with a concealed gun, sometimes three with their sub machine guns on full display. Finally, Bastion came to a stop behind a parked car, and observed three men, no noticeable weapons on them, patrol around a manhole.

"Why do we even have to keep going around this stupid thing? What does the boss thinks gonna come out?" one of the men asked his partners. "Look, I don't give the orders, I just follow 'em. Boss told me to watch any sewer entrances for signs of the Bat. That's what I'm doing," another man replied. Mention of Batman peaked Bastion's interest. If the mob were looking for Batman, and they found him first that might end very poorly.

And so, faced with going home or going down into the sewers to maybe find the Batman, he made the obvious choice. The thugs didn't put up much of a fight. He sighed, kneeling down he struggled to lift up the manhole cover, finally grunting and shoving it off. Damn it that thing is heavy he thought. Luckily this was a sleazier part of town, where infrastructure wasn't exactly a top priority. Anywhere else and that cover might have been welded down to keep people like him out of the sewers.

Now that the cover was off, nothing was stopping Bastion from dropping down to the depths of Gotham. Looking down the hole he cringed at the smell of the sewers, but shook his head. This was real hero work he was doing here. He wasn't going to be shooed away by a smell. He began climbing down the ladder and reached the bottom, stepping down into sewer water. He felt around his utility belt for a small flashlight that he kept. He grabbed it and flicked it on, illuminating his path in front of him as he made his way forward, looking for any clue as to where Gotham's mysterious defender was.

Divided We Stand

Interested, I'll get a character up in a bit :D

William and Jessica were not having a very good day. William reflected on how poorly this excursion had gone for them. It had seemed so simple. Infiltrate the scientist's midway facility, a sort of Purgatory for captured supernaturals, where they were held until the scientists brought them to the real hell holes. It had not gone according to plan. They'd gotten in all right, through use of an invisibility spell and some clever use of explosive runes. However, the spell had worn off right in the middle of the facility. That had not been fun.

"You remember that time in Jersey?" William shouted to his sister over the sounds of fist meeting face. They were currently surrounded by guards, and both of them were locked in combat with an opponent, moving to fast for anyone to get a good shot in. Jessica spared a second to look back at her brother, offering a nod. They both rolled backwards, meeting up back to back, and William took a deep breath. Then, without warning, he splayed his hand towards the floor, forcing all the air out, away from the siblings, and knocking the guards off their feet, throwing them into walls.

Jessica laughed before running off towards the containment ward, followed by her brother. In the ward, they found a werewolf, a witch, two fairies, and vampire. They were worse for wear, bruised all over, but they were ready to escape. With the increase in numbers, their escape was easy, and as they stood outside, William spoke to them. "We got you out. Now go, find somewhere to hide. Or fight if you want to, but don't let anyone think that this all isn't happening. Warn others," he said. The supernaturals nodded, before rushing off. Jessica smiled at her brother, before snapping her fingers. A flame sprung up in her hand and she flexed her fingers, growing the flame, before hurling it at the facility. Together, the twins spread the fire, until the containment center was beyond saving. William looked grim as they walked off. But it had all needed to be done.

Jessica Conroy

Name
Jessica Marie Conroy

Nickname
Jess - Called this by close friends and her brother.

Age
Nineteen

Type
Witch

Affiliation
Supernatural Who Fights

---

---

---

---

Personality
Snarky, smart, and a survivor through and through, Jessica Conroy is a force to be reckoned with. She's stubborn and ruthless, cold and calculating, not one to be tied down by useless feelings when there's a job to be done. More than most, she understands that some sacrifices must be made in order to succeed and she's willing to make those sacrifices. She has a wicked temper, one so fierce it's frightening. She values loyalty and bravery more than anything, and she thinks a traitor or a coward to be no better than the scientists that chase them.

History
Since birth, Jessica and her twin brother, William were surrounded by the supernatural. Born into a coven based in New York, her parents took it upon themselves to train them to be some of the best they could be. Her father taught her the language of magic, how to carve powerful sigils that could serve as weapons in their own right. It was an unusual childhood, but a happy one none the less.

And then, they scientists came. They'd heard rumors, of course they had. But they hadn't believed that the supernatural community could be so blind to such things, and so they had shrugged them off as just stories. Oh the irony. The scientists came in the dead of night, and they came with weapons. William and Jessica were only sixteen. They watched as their father was knocked to the ground, his last words to them slipping out of his mouth. "Run." This instilled a fight in Jessica, and she and William did just what their father told them. They ran. They trained. And then they started to fight back. Taking out scientist convoys, killing off their informants. In the past few months they've built up a reputation, as people who come when called out to, people who won't let the scientists win without a good fight.

Abilities
Elemental Manipulation - Jessica can manipulate the four basic elements, magic that she learned from her brother, although she is much weaker with earth and water than with fire and air.

Language of Magic - Her father taught her how to read the ancient language of magic, and in turn, how to make runes that could protect buildings or people. She also knows runes that can send an electric shock through someone, or even one that blows up on contact.

Spells - With the right materials and incantations, Jessica, like any witch, can cast a multitude of powerful spells.

Weaknesses
Anything your average human is weak to, Jess is weak to as well, not to mention anything that dampens magic.

William Conroy

---

---

Name
William David Conroy

Nickname
Will - Called this by close friends and his sister

Age
Nineteen

Type
Witch

Affiliation
Supernatural Who Fights

---

---

---

---

Personality
If William and his sister were detectives, he'd most definitely be the good cop. Cool and collected, he's far less impulsive than Jessica, and has a much more present conscience. Unlike his sister, he doesn't always think the ends justifies the means, and this has caused more than a few spats between the two. However, he cares about his sister more than anything in the world, and would do anything to help her.

History
The oldest of the Conroy twins, William had just as happy a childhood as Jessica. However, where their father trained Jess in the language of magic, their mother trained William to be a powerful Elementalist, as well as teaching him the mysteries of magic concerning the mind. Throughout his childhood, he was always closest with his mother, which made her capture at the hands of the scientists especially hard.

On the run, William trained Jessica to control the elements, and while she isn't nearly as skilled as he is, she learned well. He was also in charge of keeping them unnoticed, and dealt with most of the people that tried to get in their way. When Jess brought up the idea of fighting back against the scientists, he was initially opposed, fearing that it would bring more harm upon them, but he has proved to be a skilled fighter against them.

Abilities
Elemental Manipulation - William is a powerful elementalist, who is skilled with all four of the basic elements and is even dabbling with the secondary ones, such as lightning and ice.

Mentalism - William can sift through a person's mind, read their thoughts and memories, and sometimes even impart a command, but this will leave him in a vulnerable coma like state while he's doing so, and is especially draining.

Spells - William, just like any other witch, can cast powerful spells, given the right resources and incantation.

Weaknesses
William can be harmed just like any other human, and any artifact that dampens or weakens magic would work against him.

Wolves of Red Lake (Closed ignore this thread)

Shorty McShort post :)

Wolves of Red Lake (Closed ignore this thread)

Location - The Hospital

Charlie was aware of some shouting. Some shouting right in his ear, people yelling. "Move! Get out of the way!" Well, that meant he wasn't dead. His side still hurt like a bitch though, it burned. Were wolf bites supposed to burn? He wasn't really all that sure. He wasn't exactly an expert on wolf bites. But even now, as he was lying here, something felt off. He could feel something changing, he could feel his wound, slowly but surely, healing. That couldn't be normal. Not by a long shot.

He was wheeled through the halls of the hospital, past rooms of all sorts. He could've sworn he passed by Billy but he figured that was a delusional hallucination. Why would Billy have been at the hospital? He was wheeled into the OR, and that was where he passed out. Or was put to sleep. He wasn't quite so sure.
