I'm so impatient..

Young Justice; The Heroes of Today! [IC and OOC]

Lucy aka Torch Lucy was pissed. She'd messed up today. She'd let her brother get away and had almost killed someone on top of that. She couldn't help but feel extremely sorry for herself. She saw Casan looking pretty much the same way, though it was hard to tell honestly, and so she made her way over to him. "Casan, I really need you to tell me that I did something right today. Because I just found out that the brother I've been searching for for three years, my god damned twin, hasn't given me a passing thought in all that time, and I almost killed a man. Plus, my asshole of a brother got away from me, on my watch," she said, grimacing.

Lucy's words caught Casan by surprise. She had not told him before that she had a brother and to learn what kind of person he was was even more of a surprise. "On Kartatha I had two brothers, both of them decided to forsake their place in the clan for the life of Kas-bandits. For a long time I did not see them until one day they attacked our clan with their soldiers. They would have killed many innocents if I had not done what I did. I approached them and pleaded for them to stop but in the end I fought both of them and killed them. I was so angry with what they'd done that I struck them down. The worst part of it all was everyday since they left the clan I prayed to the gods to return them to us. They did but obviously not as we expected. What I'm trying to say is: We should not give up on someone even if they seem beyond help, everyone has a chance to change but for my brothers they never took that chance. I understand your anger and what you did for I feel it as well whenever your kin speak harshly of me. At times it makes me wonder why I fight but then I am reminded of my purpose. I am a protector of the people just as you are. You have powers other humans do not and with that power comes a choice. To use it for your desires or to stand for something greater than yourself."

"Where did they go?", Casan asked though he wasn't expecting an answer. Was Angel taking him on by herself? If so then that meant all that was left was to round up the bruised up robbers and bring them to the police. He shifted into an aoe and scooped up the unconscious criminals and carried them to the police who were waiting on the other side of the building. Once the last of them-excluding Torch's brother-were brought to the authorities Casan shifted once again to his true form. "Here you are officers, I trust these men will see justice under your care", he said to one of the officers as he loaded the last one into the police van. The officer had a look of disgust once he got a good look as the Kartathan, "Uh yeah, Sure thing Skinwalker" he said. As Casan walked back to his team he overheard the officer say, "Man, why'd Young Justice hire that thing?, to another officer to which she replied, "I know right, I get the creeps every time I look at it Their words hit Casan hard. It was at times like these that he truely felt alone. Somewhere in the vast galaxy was his home and he was trapped on this rock surrounded by people who would never accept him, never thank him, only fear and ridicule him. While he wondered for a moment why he helped them he was quickly reminded that he was a soldier of order. It was his life's purpose to protect the innocent and uphold law. To do otherwise would bring shame to his people. If he hoped for his people to one day be accepted in Earth then he'd have to set an example.

Gooood, Goood

Now you have me itching to see what going to happen

Young Justice; The Heroes of Today! [IC and OOC]

Maybe...Hmm...now I'm conflicted. I want to even the playing field but at the same time I want Pariah to be the hidden enemy for later. I'll try to figure a way for her to help out Weaver.

The monstrous creature that was Casan stopped its rampage upon seeing Torch held at gunpoint. While his priority was the capture of these men he did care for the well being of his teammates, turns out he wasn't heartless after all. "I blame the humans for this. Making me soft", he thought to himself. He changed back to his true form so as to not reveal his human cover. Thankfully these changes were painless due to his body shutting down his nervous system. Raising his hands up he signaled he would cease hostilities. "Very well. We will stop, just let her go-", before he could finish his statement Guardian Angel somehow managed to take out one of the gunmen. This time Casan was ready to act and he capitalized on his teammate's risky move. His hands were already up so he aimed the tips of his fingers towards Orb Weaver and in those moments time seemed to slow down almost. He had to be very careful not to hit Torch or else she'd he receiving a powerful dose of venom which would have her paralyzed in seconds and it would last for almost a day. His lined up the shot as best he could and his brain signaled for his body to fire the quills. He could feel them as they moved from their original place in his back down his arm and out of the space between his fingers. They shot out of him with the speed equivalent to someone using throwing knives. From the speed of the quills and the distance they were fired from Casan calculated that the Orb Weaver would have three seconds before the quills hit him.

Debating on whether or not to have Pariah make her first actual appearance...

Young Justice; The Heroes of Today! [IC and OOC]

The Skinwalker had little time no time to react. By the time he realized what was going on the criminals had already turned their sights towards him and the team. He made a mad dash for cover but was ultimately hit by Orb Weaver's bullets. The round managed to go right through his leg but missed any bone thankfully. He fell behind cover and began to change his shape, this time into a creature from his home planet, the Garmr."I gave them a warning-ah!-and this is my reward for mercy!", His frame began to expand until he was about twelve feet. He grew legs, lots of legs which resembled those of the Giant Amazonian Centipede. His skin grew scales and were thick like kevlar, and his appearance in general resembled that of a serpent mixed with a centipede. His head underwent the most disturbing change of all as his skull broke in multiple places to make way for its exponential growth. The sounds of bone snapping as his head shaped into a hybrid of a snake with mandibles of a spider. When the process was complete he could hear some of the suspects reloading their gun. His numerous legs clamored as he charged around the corner letting out a bellowing roar which was accompanied by the swishing of the venom which was pooling in his mouth and was spewed out onto the ground. With one swift motion he grabbed one of the gunmen in his massive jaws and swung him about before throwing him onto the remains of their van. The next was either going to get stomped on or injected with venom.

Casan didn't even have time to tell the others to wait for orders. They were already out and on their way to the crime scene. "I'll provide them with backup", he said to Blue Arrow before shifting into a vulture and flying off in the direction of the bank. Once there he dived bombed towards the van pulling up a few feet above to shift into a rhino. The impact of him landing on the van crushed it but left Casan relatively unharmed. He got up and off the van and revealed his true form. His mouth opened wide to reveal the maw of razor sharp teeth shaped like tiny pocket knives, he was beginning to produce a paralyzing dose of venom which he'd lace the oral quills with. "Drop your weapons and surrender immediately. This is your only warning!", he stared down the criminals with black voids for eyes. He was watching them carefully to see who'd shoot first. He wasn't able change shape fast enough at this range to defend against their bullets but hopefully he'd be able to see it coming. It is if they decided to be foolish and fight back.
