Macavity - Macavity's Bunker

Wow, Macavity was sure... not tired! Please, this hasn't been the first time he had spent night without sleeping stealing stuff across the entire city. However, as Macavity wandered around city with his little red wagon filled with a variety of sketching, fabrics, and other junk that even closely related to something about clothing and costumes. It was still amazing that he was trying to do this for one little girl, true interacting was a bit of a chore but going this far was something quite different, and maybe he would have to work on not revealing too many things to a literal random stranger that he had only met a couple of hours ago. Still, these were things to think about later as he toted his large bag and little red wagon, hidden beneath his parahuman power as he crossed the cool night street under the moonlight unnoticed by any passerby who would have normally have detected the energetic fellow.

As morning brought upon a new day with Macavity struggling to pull the wagon up the steps of the apartment building, Cassidy had already woken up by that time eating his food, and as he entered the lobby to do the intricate steps to enter the secret bunker she was still lying in his expensive bed probably mooching off of his items stashed around the area. Macavity regretted at times the two sets of puzzles set around the area when he was either tired or drunk, but in his mind he knew that these things were still cool as hell and anyone should be proud of what he managed to make in the real world. He managed to think happy thoughts to himself as he managed to shove the wagon down into the second puzzle and after a short time in the second puzzle room opened the door to his cool ass secret bunker. "Hey Cassidy! Guess who has all this stuff that I have no idea what to do with!" Macavity said, completely forgetting the fact that he was still under the influence of his parahuman power, and embarrassingly enough turned it off to find Cassidy slightly amazed at the goodies that he had behind his own lonesome self.

"Dang! You would not believe the night I had! I think I almost triggered seven alarms that night but I think I got out pretty safe with all this random stuff," Macavity boasted, kicking off his shoes as he sat down on a nearby coach with Cassidy moving out of his bed towards the array of objects to visualize for her little pet vigilante project. As she started to barrage him with details about her suit and other various details, Macavity slowly got out a sketch pad with a brand new pencil from his large tote bag and started to design something akin to what Cassidy seemed to be describing to him. Now, Macavity wouldn't boast that he is the top artist in the region, but he has stared long and hard at other artist working their magic unaware of his presence. So, this thief has basically got this down to help out his little vigilante hide her identity to kick and harm the bad people. "Ok, so I heard red somewhere in that sentence, wait a second, red and white costume with something something light weight as well. Some relativity modest jogger shorts for running for your life, maybe I can add in some long boots or leggings to help cover up those gams since you don't want to be a "slut"," Macavity muttered this all to himself, quickly sketching out a basic frame for the costume hoping that it would look good enough for his contact to somehow make in such a relatively short period. He would only look up to her after she raised her hand, barely hearing that she was about to use her power, and was suddenly under her parahuman ability.

Macavity was frozen in time, his body unmoving with a sort of ugly look that his face had frozen upon, and suddenly time resumed for the thief as the person he was glancing over teleported over to the other side of the room. "Wait... What? That's your power? Uh... looked a lot more menacing when you did it on those goons, but still a pretty cool power if you manage to get the jump on anyone!" Macavity paused as Cassidy continued to talk within her excited manner, remembering the message of kicking people in the balls while time was frozen and suddenly went through his tote bag. After a few moments, Macavity pulled out two objects for Cassidy to hold, one was a taser and in the other hand a can of mace. "Here, if you use these things on a person that would be pretty funny. I can't imagine getting kicked in the balls, maced, and tasered all at the same time," The thief laughed at the prospect, he then picked up the sketchbook and nodded at his perfect creation of a costume. "Cassidy, look at this brilliant design for Chrona. I didn't think I had it in me to create such a masterpiece, but it looks beyond my expectations," Macavity said, smiling at his exaggerated words as he showed off the basic sketch of her costume.

The masterful artist would allow Cassidy to view the sketch for as long as she wanted, Macavity knew that she would admire the sketch but still waited for her approval over her costume. Afterwards, Macavity pulled out one of his many untraceable phones before dialing in a couple of random numbers. He stood around, a silent Cassidy hovering near him, with the phone ringing a few times before someone had finally picked up his call. "Ah! Yes, hello, I assume you people are still doing your custom costume production line? Hm... Yes, that is great to hear from you. I would like to order one light and strong costume, discretion and time would be appreciated, and price is no question just get this product out the best quality and fastest time. I'll send you a fax of the measurements and design right now... Ok, thank you, have a nice day." Macavity shut his phone, grabbed the sketching and trugged along over towards the fax machine placed in the corner of the room. "So, now we wait for you costume to arrive. What do you want to do to pass the time?"

Arsenal - Highway Robbery

Ah, this felt pretty great. Firing his impressive load in the face of unsuspecting victims... Wait, that sounded wrong. Anywho, it was all going to plan afterwards as the resulting pileup caused by the unassuming Sophia with the help of their sharpshooting friend managed to completely wreak the entire day of these basic soldiers. Outgunned and confused, they didn't realize the situation that these people were in until it was too late as Arsenal let down a rain of fire while Headhunter dealt precise shots to pick off the panicking grunts. The other two parahuman escorts were still MIA which was slightly unsettling, but with the way things have been going this plan should go off without a single hitch! With this covering fire, Headhunter's precise aiming, Sophia's unbeatable defense, and Chatterbox's... Car? Wow, where is all of this confidence coming from? He feels as if he can just run up to those stupid soldiers and punch them in the face with these awesome robotic limbs!

Wait... Hold up, that is a fucking stupid plan. Where did that come from? Arsenal thought to himself, trying to not get hit by the other two functioning soldiers and the two determined injured soldiers. It was only until Arsenal could spot something near the wreaked van, a person flew high into the air! Ah! One of the parahuman escorts... But where is the other? Arsenal's question was asked as in the corner of his eye spotted an object fly through the air and in between Sophia and Chatterbox. "Shit! Gas grenade! Get that away from us!" Arsenal yelled, screaming at the obvious course of action at the two, as his extra arms started to whir into place according to the new threats. The commando was quickly encroaching on the position of Headhunter with most likely hostile intent, the flying lady above had an advantage of height over the group, and suddenly the soldiers started to move from cover to cover closer to the Jacks! Arsenal smirked to himself, it was a combination of Morales's power and a bit of arrogance from Arsenal, but he felt that these enemies will be riddled with rubber bullets.

Staying in cover, hoping that either of the two would do something before that gas grenade could ruin their only cover, several extra arms come into play in the gunfight. Torrents of rubber bullets escaped from his poncho, ripping it into shreds revealing his masterful creation of the six shooter. The top two arms were already tracking the movements of Noble, acting as anti-air guns to knock her out of the sky with some extra strength rubber bullets. The other two facing his backside already had the poor grunt moving from cover to flank him was most likely on the pinned or writhing in the ground from the sudden counter measure of being flanked from behind with even more firepower. Also, as Arsenal continued to fire bullets from his right hand trying to pin down as many people, Arsenal's left arm started to make funny noises as it started to shift into a flamethrower released by the palm of his hand! The gorgeous flames spewing towards Morales in an attempt to make him back off from surprise enough for Headhunter to take another debilitating shot on the two parahumans. Though, things could have been better as the suicidal confidence had seemed to affect everyone including Lovecraft as they got enveloped in some white foam that encased the androgynous child.

Artificer - Denver Skyline

Well, it seems that Artificer wasn't the only one who had reacted appropriately to a sudden appearing man among the group. Kyoshi and the hostage seemed unfazed, but as Artificer lost his footing getting off his fly, Furnace had another idea as he attacked the man by reflex with his unfurling batons. It looked like the attack did little due to it just being mostly out of reflex and that tough looking armor deflecting most of the blow, but in the end everyone was just left standing awkwardly with everyone ignoring his earlier question thankfully saving him from the embarrassment. Still, it was strange that the hostage had literally no reaction but every parahuman that he has met has been pretty weird.

Afterwards, Artificer found himself just a bystander as this Jaunt character was determined by Furnace as some type of mercenary figure, and hoped that no one on this roof had some type of hit on their heads. The parahuman boy started to slowly backaway from the figure, still on edge, but noticed that Furnace started to walk over to some random direction but soon noticed why everyone was starting to stare off into the distance. A decent way away, there was some large serpent-like beast almost squirming its way over to the group ahead. A cold bead of sweat ran down his forehead, Furnace took a pose as he said something to try to deter the beast, but Artificer was frozen in fear. "Oh geez," he mumbled to himself, the mention of it being an Endbringer scaring him even further as being brutally obliterated by giant monsters was something that was not on his to-do list today. "Uh... We should... We should probably get out of here. I don't want to die by a giant monster today," Artificer said, already climbing aboard his Ebony Fly ready to bolt the moment something bad would happen to the group exposed on the roof.







The Swarms - NPCS


















Macavity - Super Secret Underground Bunker

Macavity was feeling rather exhausted after his little rant, it has only been a short time with this girl but for some reason caring for other people sure takes a lot out of your day. He had forgotten about the trouble of talking to people on an actual personal level, he hasn't really looked back after his first heist and stopping now just stockpiled all his baggage at once on himself. Macavity sighed aloud, dropping the MREs onto a nearby nightstand as he started to rub his temples. He had no idea how people can live such an exhausting life, stealing was second nature to himself, but having people depend on you is something totally foreign to the rather easy going master criminal. Still, even he knew that his little rant may have been a bit harsh to some little girl who had just lost her parents from organized crime. He wouldn't be too surprised if she decided to leave, in all honestly her leaving would probably allow him to get back to his regular groove than stressing out over other people. He was just about to lean his head towards the ceiling and close his eyes before the little girl managed to say something that got back his attention from the rather awkward situation he had put himself inside of his uncontrolled outburst.

"Cassidy? Huh. You looked more like a Cassandra to me, but I guess everything hasn't been going my way during this time," Macavity quipped, looking back at the girl scarfing down the food just like in the alleyway. Ever since he had gotten these powers, his emotions were kind of all over the place when talking to people, his urges started to grow more and his emotions were becoming as fickle as his need for some object or another in his line of sight. "Look, it wasn't my first idea to give you to those goody two-shoe heroes but I honestly can't think of much in such a short time," Macavity said, "It won't be too bad living with them anyway kid, I mean Cassidy, but look at it this... What?" Macavity soon heard a firm deconformation from Cassidy, he looked bewildered for a short second before moving himself to the edge of his seat with a skeptical face as she further discussed her plan with the thief.

"Cassidy! I know I used my powers for my own gain but baby steps girl! I didn't start off my first heist at Fort Knox, well I mean I did rob it blind later, but that was when I was ready to take on such a task. I know you're angry at these people, but throwing your life away isn't one thing anyone would want, start small first and build your accomplishments to the top rather than jump into the abyss with no help at all." This was something new to Macavity, even though she was throwing away his plan to the air and deciding to go some sort of vigilante route, he honestly felt pride as she stood up with such a impressive demeanor against the safe plan. He had forgotten people could be so determined, he had forgotten about how he used to feel that way in his old life, and right at that moment Macavity remembered that there was more to other people rather than just himself all alone in his little stockpile of money. As he looked back at Cassidy, she was fast asleep in his bed probably exhausted from everything she had experienced in the time she had spent in this strange city. "Well... Chrona, I may think you as some sort of crazy son of a bitch, but I can't say I could leave you as an unequipped loon out for revenge," Macavity cracked his knuckles with a big smile on his face, his head flourished with tons of ideas of places and equipment to steal to make the best costume in this city. It was his time to shine with his power and skills, these people probably wouldn't mind missing stuff as it would all be going to a certain hero to protect the streets against thugs.

Hours passed along as Cassidy was fast asleep on the luxurious bed, Macavity hitting up his other safe houses for extra materials and choice factories to steal just a tiny bit of some important materials. He didn't sleep that day, carefully covering his steps and presence with his powers as he walked all around the city. Most of the stuff he had brought along were stolen items from his past adventures collected from their dusty standstills as displays for his many stands in other areas. Others were top of the line fashion designs carefully downloaded or plucked from the folders of famous designers. In the end Macavity had a sizable collection of materials for costume design, all he had to do was wait for Cassidy to try to choose and decide the style that she wanted in her costume. He also brought along some to-go breakfast diner food for someone that would find themselves wanting a nice and hearty breakfast in the morning. Also he had on himself some of the top of the line materials on him as well, such as lightweight and sturdy material which would provide a sturdy defense against most physical attacks and more normal fabric to go over the defensive material. It was a good thing that Macavity himself had experience in tailoring as the suits he was wearing were made by him, but using this kind of material is above his level in which he could only hope that he could make a good costume to protect Chrona during fights.
-Posted Twice-
Arsenal - Highway Robbery

Arsenal had found himself hidden behind Chatterbox's reprimanded car, generally his defenses against most means of attack were low since most of his body was still flesh, so he had to find cover before unleashing his superior firepower at the soldiers and capes. Chatterbox was beside him, the man was going to be useless at first but if the group manages to protect him long enough it should end the fight there making the capes and soldiers follow his directions. Lovely was still making their way over to the highway, unprotected by the car's cover, but their parahuman ability gave them a superior defense against the Protectorate's methods of non-lethal attacks. Headhunter was positioned somewhere faraway in the hills, he would be giving them fire support with their obnoxiously powerful weapon and finally Sofia had found herself in the middle of the highway to disrupt the convoy. It was good that almost everyone was at their positions as the convoy could be seen by the entire group by now, the group all hopefully waiting for their plan to work as intended and break out Gamble with minor injuries from the ensuing fight with two professional capes. And boy, did their plan work wonders on the Protectorate.

Three consecutive shots rung throughout the air, loud as balls, but all three managed to perfectly hit their targets. The ensuing clusterfuck happened between the convoy with one spiraling out of bounds of the highway, the other crashing into the median causing a pile up from the south, and the final unlucky truck that dealt with Sofia quite literally flipped in the air violently crashing onto the highway with sparks and scrap flying everywhere. As the scene settled for those few seconds, it almost looked like it was from some blockbuster action movie, the scene laid before Arsenal was quite awesome to the mind of the young boy. However, this is where the movie fantasy ends and where the real life fight was going to begin for the Jacks.

Exactly four men busted out of the vehicles, Arsenal quickly recorded the location of all four enemies with one completely out of cover firing rubber bullets at Sofia. One with a semi-auto rifle had hidden themselves behind the median of the highway taking shots at the approaching Lovely, and the other two hiding in the wreckage of concrete and ruined metal. However, there were no sight of the capes from what Arsenal could see with his fleshy eyes. All he could see were the lowly grunts, but the main trouble was hidden among the carnage of the highway. He didn't trust that the crash had knocked them out, but he would have to act now to get the upper hand against these grunts and Headhunter would most likely cover the group if the unknown capes were sneaking up on the bunch. Still, it was nice to not show out your entire hand at the beginning of the battle, so Arsenal only let out two of his mechanical arms from his large poncho. The two metallic limbs gleamed against the sunlight in their glorious aura which provided a more powerful weapon than those dinky weapons the grunts are using against the Jacks. "Time to do some work," Arsenal said, all ten fingers suddenly transforming each into their own little barrels with the living weapon soon bursting from the car's cover. He let out soon a volley of firepower that those soldiers would never forget, all ten barrels individually streamed out their own rubber bullets, each finger controlling a different angle of fire, and each arm would be aiming at a different direction making this barrage of bullets fly in almost every direction in front of him. The first target would be the uncovered asshole shooting at Sofia, the two hiding in the poor cover would be next priority, and finally the last target would be the man hiding behind the median shooting at Lovely. Also you have to remember, Arsenal has even has more fire power under his poncho with even more weapons crammed into those arms meaning that he ain't going to be running out of ammo during this fight.

Artificer - Denver Skyline

Still unaware of the Endbringer sized beast flying through the air, Artificer firmly grasped the hostage's hand and pulled her up onto the Ebony Fly which only left Kyoshi to climb on board. He watched that his partner didn't really want to take the safer route, but simply wanted a more stylish entrance to Furnace as with her powers soared straight into the air to reach the taller building. Artificer rolled his eyes at their new recruit's antics, soon ordering his fly to reach the group of heroes on the office building, transporting the hostage that seemed to be pressing their body tightly against his back which may or may not have caused some awkward blushing under his mask.

The two arrived shortly after Kyoshi, the giant Ebony Fly landing onto the roof allowing the domino masked hostage to safely place themselves in the midst of the group of heroes. Artificer was still glad that G4M3R was safe with the help of Furnace, he would have to thank him after they get the most likely bewildered woman to safety, and this will also be a great story to say that the Minutemen had helped save a hostage with Furnace. They would definitely have to stop at the part where the mean blonde lady screwed over everyone on the roof, but still today was pretty good considering they actually managed to do something heroic in today's events. "Yo G4M3R, glad your safe, pretty crazy day am I rig-" Artificer managed to say, getting off his fly before a certain someone had suddenly materialized out of thin air. The sudden sight had shocked the young parahuman, losing his footing on his way down causing him to slip and slam onto the ground. "Fuck!" Artificer yelped out, quickly scurrying back onto his feet and ready to order the Ebony Fly to ram into the sudden completely covered mystery man. "Who- fuck that hurts, Who are you?" Artificer said defensively, the Mintuemen's pride probably couldn't handle being humiliated twice in one day by some random parahuman strangers.






Artificer - Denver Skyline

Artificer was simply trying to give out a helping hand to another hero, I mean this random lady was dealing with the famous Furnace, so just adding a couple more heroes for some extra intimidation factor would most likely make them let go of the hostage. That was Artificer's thought process anyway, however, as the costumed lady gave him a death glare with an ominous counter-threat, he felt that he might of messed up quite a bit. "Hey! Lady, what do you think you're saying? You're surrounded! So giv-" Before Artificer could finish his sentence though, the costumed villian had suddenly flew up straight up into the air with the resulting shock wave of air causing some massive turbulence on the Ebony Fly. “Oh shit!” Artificer shouted, the Ebony Fly shaking violently as it tried to re-orientate itself from the powerful gust of air. Artificer tightened his grip on the rope tied onto Ebony Fly, he almost felt his body slide completely off the side but he tightened his position on the fly as he pressed his thighs tightly together on the ebony wood. These actions allowed Artificer to survive from falling off the Ebony Fly, but from the backside he could feel his friend slipping off as he did not have time to properly anchor himself to the wooden fly. The young hero cursed to himself as it would suck pretty bad if his friend and leader died in such a gruesome way, so as he was about to order Ebony Fly to save G4M3R the hero Furnace seemed to swoop in and save the day! With a sigh of relief behind his mask, Artificer watched Furnace and G4M3R crash land on the roof allowing the fly-rider to focus on the newer member of the team with the apparent saved hostage.

It only took a few seconds for Artificer to arrive at the lower building, he saw the hostage a bit more clearly as it seemed they were some young woman who had found herself in a strange situation with little to no damage on her. However, the same couldn't be said for their teammate Kyoshi with their arms looking like they were damaged to a moderate degree from the high speed catch. "Yikes, that looks like a gnarly burn Kyoshi, but at least you managed to save the hostage," Artificer said, unsuccessfully trying to make his teammate feel a bit better, "However, I'm pretty sure Furnace and G4M3R would like us to come over to make sure the hostage is safe." Artificer landed the fly near the two, the rider offering his hand to pull up the other two onto the fly and once the two were on board would fly themselves over towards G4M3R and Furnace on the taller building to unify the separated parties. During this process, Artificer didn't see the fact that a 24 foot long flying beast passed by the group nearby, unaware of the monster sighting as his attention was to bring the two girls to the other side in safety.

Macavity - Super Secret Bunker

Macavity shrugged to himself at the apparent defeat of the question monster, it seemed that his story had managed to quell the beast's hunger about his past. Anyway, with this pause in the conversation, Macavity yawned to himself loudly as he started to stretch his back against the soft luxurious chair. During this action, Macavity noted that the girl had placed back one of the golden bars back into its neatly stacked pyramid formation. It seemed at least that the little girl still had some sort of code of honor to herself as most people he knew would have at least tried to take one for the road. Macavity shrugged to himself mentally at that observation, it seemed that the girl didn't have the mentality yet for using her powers for her own gain and seemed to be taking a higher road when presented with the same situation that Macavity had found himself at his young age. It was a bit interesting, but it didn't matter too much to him as Macavity would soon have to be rid of her in some way as the longer he left her here, the more dangerous she becomes to the thief. Sure, he knew the risk of stealing valuable objects from the Bratva, but stealing parahuman cargo that could snitch on the organization's operation? That was something Macavity knew that was going to blast in his face if he tries to keep the girl in his care. Either way, she needed to be ousted from his company, preferably in a position where she won't be instantly captured and sent somewhere off into the world for her powers.

As Macavity was discussing various plans within his mind, it took him by quite a surprise once the girl had suddenly lurched up from his bed. The thief thought just for a second that the girl might have become violent at the little amount of options she had left, that was a long shot, but Macavity didn't want himself being frozen for her to just walk up to him and murder him in his own hideout. He was just about to turn himself invisible before she went into a completely different direction he had been expecting, it was actually straight into the bathroom? Oh... At the realization of what the girl wanted to do combined with the reaction that Macavity had put up, the thief lightly chuckled to himself at his stray thought of being betrayed and killed by some little girl. Relaxing back into his seat, he put his legs crossed on a nearby leg rest, continuing to think of plans and locations that Macavity could stash her safely without being reliant on his powers and secret hideouts.

When she arrived back into his field of vision with a small joke, Macavity slightly smirked, not at the joke, but at the fact that this little girl was recovering quite quickly from such terrible time that would put most children in a state of panic and start to bawl their eyes out. This girl was a bit different from the rest, but it was common knowledge that most parahumans were quite different from the average joe. "Well, like the famous actor once said in a certain dinosaur movie, you gotta go when you gotta go," Macavity said, joking back at the girl before she threw herself face first back into his bed. It then didn't take long before the girl started to complain about her fatigue and hunger, it seemed that she wanted food from her meager cries, and Macavity was happy to oblige as he started to move himself over towards the MREs. The thief didn't eat much of them, he stole a crate of these on a whim, but he definitely isn't one to waste food or throw away any stolen objects. So, as he was grabbing a few of these nutritious packs for her, it seemed that she had another question on her mind with a tough answer that Macavity had to say to the young girl. "Ok... Look, first of all, I would highly recommend that you actually avoid talking or looking at any stranger especially the police. The Bratva are ruthless and efficient, especially with their new leader, and I'm almost 99.99% sure that sure that the police have been corrupted through the Bratva's influence from either one little cop to the entire department. I've been in the criminal trade probably longer than you since you have been born, so you can trust me that I know what I'm talking about right now. Secondly, I'm sorry to say this, but your previous life has been over since the moment the Bratva got their dirty mitts on you. Do you know why? Because you are the first leak that the criminal organization can't plug up with their brutal efficiency. I'm actually surprised they haven't put up a bounty on your head yet, maybe they are trying to do damage control or something after your break out, but with their bounty on your head it is going to cause every single villain in the entire city and beyond to hunt for you and bring you back to the Bratva which I'm definitely not going to let happen to you. So, lastly to my main point, can you guess which organization fights against these costumed villains on a regular basis and helps out the common citizen? Yes, I know they can be extreme douche bags and you don't want to let people know that you are parahuman, but it will be much better than whatever the Bratva are going to do to you... Girl? Damn, I don't even know your name." Macavity soon stopped his ranting and soon he walked back to his chair with two handfuls of MREs. The frustrated thief plopped himself back into the comfortable chair to make himself feel less uncomfortable after his words leaving a stale awkwardness in the room.

"I'm sorry for saying that all to you, I get mood swings often and was kind of getting frustrated over the fact that leaving you with the Protectorate was really the only option I could think of to save you from the hell you would experience if you were ever captured. There was also the elephant in the room and... Hey, you still hungry?" Macavity awkwardly said, raising up the several MRE packages in his hands, "You can stay here for a day or two to recuperate and regain your strength, however, sooner or later once that bounty hits the entire community of villains will be looking for you and keeping you would leave me too vulnerable as my power doesn't put up much of a fight. I hope you understand my reasoning here."
