Justice Avengers: Jump City at Dusk

The Magic School Bus has been delayed.

As Robbie's frantic exit left the otherwise enthralled science class murmuring and chatting, Kamala tore her eyes off of Ms Freizel's laser display and dug her phone out of her bag, holding it out of sight in her lap as she thumbed the Young Justice ap.

WG: Uh guys, there were apparently some explosions across town?

WG: That something we should be worried about???

Kitty startled as her phone buzzed, and she quickly fished it out of her pocket, making a 'sh' motion to Kara.

UH: explosions!?!? what from??

UH: should i get changed?????

Kitty frowned. Explosions? She really hoped everyone was okay...She had a sort-of-costume she could wear (she'd slapped it together last night, just in case), but she hadn't thought she'd be using it so soon.

She angled her phone towards Kara to show her the texts, even though she probably got some of her own. 'What should we do?' she mouthed. Did you have to sign yourself out? Go home sick? Get a permission slip? Hi, yeah, I'm Kitty Pride, and I need to leave school early because I'm part of a superhero team, and we're going to do some superheroing. Yeah, right.

The Magic School Bus?

Virgil (sitting directly next to Kamala) tried to text as discretely as possible.

S: Maybe we should do-

G: No.

Richie, aka "Gear" was sitting next to Virgil and was texting as well.

G: We're not the only superhero game in town. If we all run out of here at once, everything will look suspicious. Even people not as smart as me will piece it together. We hang back and lay low unless things get worse.

Yoga Party!

She-Hulk smiled at the other woman and nodded. She hated to admit it but Sumire did have a point. Her and Jennifer couldn't keep doing this dance-around forever. She sighed and stood up before stretching her back.

"Thanks for the talk. I really did need that. Now, I should probably go check out what that explosion was." she headed for the door before turning back around. "I won't interrupt next time. And drop the glasses off in the mail slot of Jen's apartment."

The Trap?

Loki jammed his staff into the ground to... ground it and disperse Jammer-Man's electrical attack. Loki gave a "Tut, tut, tut" and a shake of his head.

"You're trying, boy, I'll give you that," he said before pulling his staff out of the road, "But you're severely behind the starting line. You're fighting an opponent older than your entire civilization." He clucked his tongue in disappointment. "And where is my brother? I would hope that you would be the smart one and find him before this. Ah, well. Disappointing as usual."

This was getting ridiculous. What was the point of having pheromone powers if no one was affected by them? Spider-Woman was doing her best to evade Wolverine and Faiza's attacks when out of the corner of her eye she saw Deadpool pointing a shotgun at a defenseless Billy Numerous. And everything stopped. Even before the flash bang went off she was in a blind rage to attack him, screaming, swinging for him with fists that could crush concrete. Private HIVE leaped in to cover for her against Wolverine and Faiza. Improved though he might be, he was still clearly in over his head.

The Lokillusion fighting Starfire blasted at her with ice magic to try and trap her limbs. This reason was twofold, both to make movement difficult, and because it was hilarious.

"Okay, silence's bad, I'm coming!" The Flash yelled, reaching into his bag for his ring...

... and less than five seconds later, he arrived on the area, already wearing his costume. "Clones, illusions and..." He glanced at Spider-Woman, smiling. "Oh my."

The Trap

Jammer-Man wasn't let down by the failure of the electric attack. Instead, he actually smiled.

He gestured again. But this time, nothing seemed to come out of his hands.

Nothing visible, that is.

And unless Loki had electromagnetic senses like his own- which he really doubted- he would not be able to sense the huge amount of magnetic power the hero was now channeling towards him.

Or rather, towards his staff.

Because if it could ground electricity, then it *had* to have magnetizable materials somewhere in it.

Not that he expected to be able to rip it away from the self-styled god's reach... instead, he hoped to make every available magnetizable object within range- even cars!- start bombarding him!

Ancient god, meet modern science.

Meanwhile, Polly, not to be outdone, whispered to Pancho (in a tone so low only his bunny ears could hear it) "Find the Bad Man with the horns. And hit him. As hard as you can."

The abominable rabbit winked a pink eye at her, then started using his non-visual senses to try and track Loki.

She then turned to Star Sapphire. "Hey hussy! Forgot about me already? Come down and let's finish this!" she shouted, pointing her Toy Hammer at her.

While Agent HIVE switched with Spider Woman, Wolverine really did not mind. Admittedly, ever since the HIVE Five crashed the press conference the mutant really wanted to punch out the self-proclaimed leader real bad......

"Bean vaiting fer a rong time fer dis," he said, the lined marred somewhat by his still broken and bleeding nose. He then lunged at Private, going on the offensive with a punch aimed to the face.

Starfire got hit by the ice magic of the Lokillusion which froze her limbs in place. She was still floating in the air, though she landed soon afterwards.

"H-Hey!" Starfire began attempting to break herself free of the ice.

"Alright," Betsy replied, still not moving from the relaxed position she was in - though she did keep her eyes open out of politeness. "Take care of yourself... and try not to wreck the place more than it probably already is now," she added with a more playful grin.

School Rooftop

Secret was sure someone had seen her inside the classroom, but judging from the lack of any commotion, maybe they just brushed it off. The gaseous girl let out a sigh as she floated back over the rooftop. What was she doing here? Even if this school had something to do with who she was, she was acting too weird. Feeling exasperated with herself, the being-colored girl began to float away until she noticed something coming up out of the roof.

It took a moment for her to realize that it wasn't just something, but someone. Two people, just coming right through the building. She quickly darted over behind the metal frame of the school's heating system to hide. Not sure of what to think of this, Secret stayed in hiding to see what these two girls were doing. Weren't they from that classroom? One of the girls announced that they just wanted to talk, but Secret still hesitated.

Secret thought over the offer for a moment when curiosity won out. Her own questions pushed her towards accepting the invitation. "I'm here" she answered, slowly floating out from her hiding spot.

Captain Britain managed to stay focused as Private HIVE jumped in but she deferred to Wolverine as Spider Woman moved off, evidently angered by something.

"Logan, you take this guy."

In the heat of battle she forgot that she didn't actually know this world's Wolverine. Not focusing on this, she jumped into the air and flew over part of the conflict before once again landing near and attacking Spider Woman, striking out as she descended.

"Uh oh. Hot chick's gone beserk."

"My obvious brain is obvious. What should we do?"

"Put into practice our plan Delta. Obviously."

"What was that again???"

(Sigh). Ookay, first you need to—"

Wade was interrupted into his talking with his other voices as a huge swinging punch from spiderwoman hit him square at the side of his jaw. Things seemed to go slo-mo as he spoke "I think I'm missing some cool reference heeere..." And then a streak of red could be seen flying trough the streets, busting a costume store front window.

"Duudh fhat wash stronk..." He got up, snapping his sideway broken jaw into place, as it was 90 degrees turned to left from the rest of his skull, on a ugly disposition of a broken jaw.

""Talk about gorn!"'

A few moments later, he shouted again.

"Hey!"Deadpool walked out of the store, with a pirate costume's hat and coat.

"Yarr!! Time for Naval Battle, matey!"

"And I choose C4, lad!"He shows a remote detonator. Spiderwoman notices he used the proximity of the punch to plant one right on her back.

The Trap

Loki looked around just in time to see all the metal flying towards him as his eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh, bother," he muttered in the seconds before it all crashed into him. Or so it seemed. He tapped Jammer-Man on the back with a smirk. "I must say, that was very clever. You just forgot one thing," he snapped his fingers and teleported to the other side of Jammer-Man to slap him in the face.

Kyd Wykkyd reached through Spider-Woman's shadow to pluck the C4 off her back and throw it up at Faiza before turning his attention to Pancho and grabbing him, yanking him down into the dark. But he didn't send Pancho anywhere, just held him. Held him down in the place between the shadows. Where it was not just dark, it was the antithesis of light. But there were still... things there. Hissing, chittering, gnashing, clicking things.

Spider-Woman grabbed a chunk of asphalt and whipped it at Deadpool's head like a shotput.

Private HIVE raised his shield up just in time to absorb Wolverine's blow. The shield was obviously not of the same quality as Captain America's as it buckled from the adamantium-enforced punch.

"Bring it on, ol' man!"

And Yoga time is over

She-Hulk gave Sumire a small wave before she headed out the door. A few seconds later a sudden slight chill filled the room. Something dark purple shimmered softly into Betsy's vision, slowly taking shape.

*shntk*

Metal claws pierced through the shield, nearly hitting Private HIVE in the face by centimeters. "You ashtd fer dis," Wolverine said. He slash downwards, slicing the shield and then following up a kick to the torso.

The Trap!

Loki's powers were frustratingly varied, Jammer-Man noted. And that slap on the face hurt. But it only made the hero angrier. AND it put Loki within *his* range now. Quickly grabbing the norse deity by the offending hand, the electromagnetic hero once again tried to electrocute him; no way he could ground it or teleport away now!

Still, he hoped somebody would join in, because he didn't really expect to take Loki down on his own. Hey, was that The Flash? About time he showed up!

Meanwhile, Pancho found himself clawed at by the cold shadow creatures. He tried to fight them, but they weren't substantial enough.

But Kyd Wykkyd was. And unfortunately for him, holding Pancho inside the shadow world also meant Pancho could touch him. Which he did, wrapping a single, furry paw around the skinny villain's neck.

Take. Us. OUT!! it demanded, the intended consequences being obvious.

Before Wolverine could deliver that slash, he'd find himself being punched in the gut by the speedster, who rushed over to where Spider-Woman was, hearts in his eyes.

"Hey there. Sorry for those guys bothering you." He said, leaning against the wall. "Has anyone ever said you're extremely beautiful?"

Wolverine's kick was interrupted when Flash accidentally punched him in the gut. The mutant double over in pain. Despite what anyone says, being punched by someone going at super speed was not gentle.

"GODDAMMIT FLASH!!" Wolverine yelled.

Having respawned after getting a blow to the head from behind, Ghost Rider was currently shepherding Billy Numerous into the back of an ostentatious semi truck.

   "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you can not afford an attorney, one will be provided for you by the state... Now sit on your thumbs, I'm going to try to arrest Deadpool for... everything, I guess."   

Kamala read through Gear's text with a frown, raising one finger to stab at her keyboard... before sighing and replying more sedately.

WG: Yeah yeah, ok. Hate to say it but G's got a point

As much as it felt... wrong, to be sitting here in school while people were in trouble across the city, She hadn't been looking forward to explaining skipping a class to Ami. ''The JA can handle it, whatever it is.'

WG: We should get our costumes between periods though. Just in case.

Because she had yet to close her eyes and resume meditating, Betsy did notice the strange... 'fog' of purple enter the studio. She rose to her feet and immediately, but slowly backed away, a^* fake look of worry creeping across her face. "Wh...What...?"

Yoga?

As the purple fog coalesced into something resembling a triangle all of the light flickered and dimmed before blinking out. Indeed, it seemed that this strange, ethereal triangle was soon the only source of light in the gym. The only light in the entire universe. Illuminated from above and below the triangle continued to take shape. Its tip broke away and formed into a hat, underneath which was shadowed a human face with a thick, square jaw. The rest formed into a cape, clasped with a golden chain and shadowing most of a human form, save for white opera gloves, parts of arms and legs in a black suit, and brightly polished shoes.

"Betsy Braddock," said a voice that echoed softly in the not-in-any-way cavernous room. "Your services are required."

The Trap!

Kyd Wykkyd quickly acquiesced to the enormous bunny monster's request. Besides, it was hurting him to keep something the size of Pancho in the shadows for so long, as evidenced by the blood trickling out of his nose.

Loki cried out in pain when Jammer-Man's electricity crackled through him and sent him careening into a mailbox. He groaned as bills and letters fluttered around him with an indignant look on his face as Starfire would be able to escape her bonds. Three students disabled, one disarmed, and one who couldn't be bothered to help, apparently. Time to leave. But he couldn't focus on getting them out of there if he was being attacked and the few who were still standing kept moving. Thankfully, Spider-Woman was about to fix that.

Her eyes widened at the sight of the Flash coming to her rescue like a real dope. Her rage melted away as she brought up all of her charms, sashaying to him with an almost-ridiculous pop of her hips with each step.

"Oh, my hero," she said lasciviously as she clung to The Flash's arm. "Could you do something for me, darling?" she cooed while drawing circles on his chest. "Your friends are just so mean. I need to get my students away! If you could just keep them busy for a moment, I'll give you my number the next time we meet," she turned her gaze murderously to Deadpool while keeping her tone sultry sweet, "But if you could turn the one with the swords and the guns into a red smear on the ground, weeelll..." she leaned up and whispered in Flash's ear. Anyone with heightened hearing would probably blush. Yes, even Logan.

A pause.

Betsy continued to back away, looking around in now-increased fear as the world around her appeared to simply vanish. "What... What is this?" she said, her voice trembling a little bit more than before. "Who are you?..."

"Oh. Oooh. Oh." The Flash's eyes went wide as he whispered right back. "Anything for you, my mistress."

Disappearing, the Flash ran quickly to Deadpool's side ,releasing a flurry of ultra-fast punches. Not even waiting to see if the punches hit, the Flash followed that up with an attempt to grab Deadpool's feet and drag him across the street as he ran away. Finally, using all that pent-up momentum, Flash finished off his string of moves by trying to hurl Deadpool as far away as possible.

In a move that would have been very questionably were it not for the sword's numerous enchantments, Faiza batted the c4 to one side - the explosive block simply landing on the pavement to one side of the battle - as she descended.

"C4 is stable, right? That thing isn't going to explode?"

Although she had enough knowledge to establish that it was C4, she wasn't sure that it was stable (although if it had been made correctly and the detonator wasn't activated it was) and as such gave it a wide berth.

"OK, now who do I fight..."

Captain Britain hesitated as she looked around the battlefield. She turned back to Spider-Woman, as she seemed to be the second-biggest threat and she didn't feel like fighting Loki, just in time to see her interacting with the Flash.

"Oh, come on! Can we not just keep it clean for once?"

She once again jumped into the air, trying to dodge the Flash as she moved towards Spider-Woman, sword drawn.

Wolverine heard every whispered word spoken....but instead of red, his face was more of a bluish tint both from shock and from the hit to the stomach. "Jeez Lady, wyer in public!" he said as he got up. "Keep dat crep in da bedroom!"

Then he saw Flash summarily manage to defeat Deadpool in a very brutal looking fashion. "Dis ain't goot," he said, worried mostly from the Flash now being fully enthralled with Spider-Woman rather than Deadpool's injuries. Of course, all of this left him open to attack....

UH: alright

Kitty frowned at her phone. If they said so...Well, she'd grab her costume, definitely.

She jumped when she heard a voice and quickly sat down on the rooftop to gain some more leverage before looking around. "Oh, oh! Hi!" she said, spotting the girl. She paused for a moment, tugging at the edges of her jacket. "...I'm gonna admit that I didn't really think you'd come out to talk." Hurriedly, she corrected herself. "But, but! Yeah, I'm totally up to talk to you! So, uh..."

"I'm Kitty Pride! What's your name?"
