Current Some of y'all are either too old to act the way you act, or too young to be taken seriously. Hard to tell some days.

Jackson Hurley: AKA Slingshot


May 5th, 2012
Location: The Rum House, Manhattan, New York City

Interactions: @Almalthia, @chain, @Draku69 @sewer rat @jorcool @TwilightShadow

Slingshot pounded back the rest of his drink. He was 90% confident there were glass shards in his hair that he was going to have to deal with at a later point, but right now, he had to get answers. The vigilante took apart his rifle in seconds, removing the magazine and popping out the loaded bullet onto the counter before packing the SCAR away in its case. Slingshot didn't forget about his sidearm, which he pulled out from its holster as he slid over the counter with ease and made his way to the nearest corpse, pulling back the sleeves on the former hostile and checking his neck. Sure enough, there it was. The skulls and tentacles were as pronounced as ever, but the symbol itself was altered from the one he was familiar with in "SHIELD 101." They're supposed to be... damn it.

Slingshot turned around. He heard the questions from Jocelyn and Arvin, but wanted to get a couple answers before being more forthright with his new compatriots. "Talking I can do sweetheart. As for what they're doing here, Gandalf, my guess is trying to eliminate us or bring us into the fold of their little club. Knew this was a little too surgical and they were a little too well-armed for this to be some sort of cash grab... Shit."

Slingshot walked back to the bar and poured himself another glass of Tito's while reaching into his jacket pocket to pull out a small protein bar. He tossed it to Jocelyn as he continued his little monologue. "As for the SHIELD thing, I kind of jacked the ID off a friend of mine. And I kind of resigned, so I'm not exactly here to cause trouble for anyone, though I may be one of the reasons those bastards shot up the place. It's either that or practically any of us still standing here. I imagine Hydra has an interest in freaks and mercs."

Slingshot finished his Vodka, taking a deep breath after downing it like the last one. It probably wasn't the smartest move to drink when still at an active crime-scene... shit, that's right. He turned back to everyone, hopping up to sit on the bar as he reloaded his sidearm and doing his best to be loud and authoritative to a group that probably consisted of at least one mythical god. "You all can call me Slingshot, and rather than doing the usual thing of comparing dick sizes to determine who's in charge, let's just all agree to put that kind of shit behind us and think about our next move. If anyone has a secret hideout other than my apartment which is quite frankly a disgusting mess right now, I'm all ears. Also, Houdini, it would be great if you can use your little Chalk Zone powers and get us there without having to fight through New York traffic."


@shiningsector Damn, you've set the bar a little high. After work tomorrow I might have to dust off the old internet and go over the lingo as well.

I would believe that is where the helm would be located.



Titan Tower, San Francisco


The sun was bright as Roy stepped out into the sun on the rooftop, absorbing the rays. To say the vigilante looked homeless wouldn't be far off... at least he had gotten a clean shower and managed to wash his clothes a few times through over the past few days he had been at the Tower. Roy was wearing ripped up jeans and a grease-stained white tank top underneath a sleeveless red hoodie. His sunglasses reflected red, and his Justice League novelty baseball cap was on backwards (as always) to reveal a small tuft of red hair. The archer was carrying with him his utility toolset and a quiver of his arrows as he strolled up along the rooftop a moment, admiring the view and amenities. Sure beat living out of a van down by the river for the past few months.

Roy noticed the other two souls on the rooftop in a nearby cabana, and figured it was time he said hello. Roy wasn't exactly a fan of spending too much time by himself. It lead to a few poor decisions that he was still making up for. As the teen neared the Cabana, he rubbed the chip in his pocket for good luck. 286 days...

Roy, without any warning and by making practically no noise (thanks Ollie), plopped onto the couch and looked over at the other two teens. His eyes glanced over the blonde, raising an eyebrow in slight admiration. Blondes have never exactly been my type. From behind his shades Roy also caught a glimpse of the sharp-dressed man making his way to the bar. And a prep. Dick sure knew how to pick 'em. Roy stretched out his arms after dropping his belt and quiver next to the couch before finally addressing his two soon-to-be teammates. "Hey, if you could grab me one of those juices that comes in a plastic barrel, that would be great. I'm parched."


Specialist Devronian Arx




Dev turned the switch on the left of Death Whistle. Fragmentation, Gone-mine... ahhh, there we go. Dev gave a small chuckle as he pressed the switch back into the side of Death Whistle. His ass was already going to get handed to him for his quick stunt before with the incendiary blast. Dev wasn't scared of many people... but he may have miffed the one person he shouldn't be pissing off.

The demolitions expert rounded the final corner as he say the Ulnar trying to break into the cockpit. Two measly rodent-like bastards pounding away at the door, but still doing quite the damage. Dev raised the end of his launcher and fired the cannister. It was slightly larger than most of his other ammunition, and didn't explode upon impact. Instead, it clanked off of the door to the hangar, aided by the distinct hissing noise of the weapon in guiding the Ulnar's vision back to Dev. Well... there were two hisses filling the hallway, as the canister released a small cloud of yellow noxious gas. The Ulnar reached for their weapons to fire at Dev, who quickly disappeared back around the corner.

1... 2... and.... Almost as if on cue, the two Ulnar fell to the ground, unconscious. Dev hoisted the launcher onto his shoulder once more as he removed his sidearm to finish the job. Two shots were all that was needed to finish off the defenseless hostiles. The demolitions expert reached up towards his earpiece. "The Bridge is secure... and can we skip the whole lecture thing on blowing up our ship this time if I apologize now?" He began making his way at a slower pace back towards the turrets to help finish off whatever Ulnar might be bombarding their ship.


Name: Roy Harper
Alias: Arsenal

Age: 17
Powers: None

Weaknesses:

-Lacks Super Abilities: Arsenal is not a meta-human and lacks the abilities many of his companions (and enemies) possess. This also makes Roy somewhat easy to kill by conventional means.

-Highly Addictive to alcohol/drugs: Roy has an addictive personality. He is currently recovering from the consequences of his addictions to fetanyl and alcohol.

Skills:

-Agile: Roy has years of self-training in acrobatics, as well as a few years of training under the watch of the Green Arrow.

-Expert Marksman (Archery): A natural talent of his. Roy has expert proficiency with a bow and arrow.

-Proficiency in wide array of weaponry: Roy has trained with a variety of weaponry over the years, especially as Oliver's sidekick. This makes Roy dangerous in nearly any situation with nearly any weapon.

-Martial Arts Proficiency: Training under the Green Arrow, Roy's regimine was strict and included proficiency in martial arts to keep the sidekick safe in case CQC was necessary.

-Proficiency in Gadgeteering: Roy's unique skill and expertise in crafting gadgets is one of the primary abilities that sets Roy apart from his former mentor. Roy helped to craft Oliver's trick arrows, and uses his skills to develop his own gadgets and trick arrows to help him fight on the same level as meta-humans.


Pfft... holes can be fixed... fine, I'll use a different type of ammo.
