Scan got hit in the face, but then used his own jetpack to fly into the air.
Wizard Needs Food BadlyAndrew shrugged at the question, wondering whether or not it was good to have another super know your 'secret identity'. He hadn't really considered any of the repercussions that could, in the end, totally make his life a bitch.
"My powers are something I only learned of recently," the teenager began. "I have some control over rock-like substances and the most common way of exerting this power is by making little bumps. They tend to only be big enough to trip people, so that's what I chose as my name."
"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValJeff nodded. "Okay, he's losing lots of fuel and oil. I've seen the specs on these things, they can't take much more. Let's just head back to your workshop and you can make me a jetpack."
Seeing Mimic leave, Uriah quickly acted. The constabulary would doubtlessly show up soon. He calmly walked into the ofices of one of Swanson's peons, killed in a similar fashion. Then he took all the clothes off of the man and put them on the floor, the frost instantly disappearing. Then, the beast picked up the naked white man(not that he had a problem with them—he did hate Spaniards, though) and dropped the entire corpse into his mouth. Then, Uriah Heep took a knee and changed. His skin regained its color, flushing the burnt red of a Native American. The antlers shrunk back into his head, replaced by a full mane of shoulder length black hair. He shrunk down, losing height down to five and a half feet. He was old, an old, naked Penobscot Indian named Gelbahoqk. Patting his belly, he calmly took the suit and put it on, not uncomfortably. He then hid under the desk, pretending to shake as the police stormed onto that floor.
As Drew listened to the mans explanation of his name and powers, he found himself looking at his hand as he twisted it around, as if searching for something. He found himself wishing somewhat that he hadn't asked, because now that he knew about his powers he found himself comparing them to...
No, stop that, he thought to himself. Its not the same thing.
"I see..." He said quietly, looking back at Andrew.

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillCaptain Zeppelin turned back towards Jeff and the other girl, "I'LL SEE YOU THERE." Then he turned back to scan, blasting off towards the alien. Back in the zeppelin, the captain hit a big red button, causing the robot to explode in a shower of pamphlets.
While this was happening, Clinton heard a report on his radio, a report of a 911 call to head towards Swanson Super Reconstruction. A single car was dispatched. Clinton followed the car on his motorcycle, having nothing better to do until Motorpocalypse made his move.
Scan blinked a bit, stunned from the explosion of pamphlets.
"What." Scan cocked his head a bit as he floated there.

Wizard Needs Food BadlyHearing the words of Black Rose, the hasty footsteps of its target and the sound of an explosion, Vigil jumped down from the frame to the door and started running to give chase. After about a minute, the masked hero stood in front of the opening to the sewers.
It's always the sewers.
With some resignation, Vigil takes a deep breath and then jumps through the opening.
Raziel was busy trying to quietly open on one of the rusted basement windows when he heard the explosion.
Looking into it, he saw a black-clad bloke run into the hole, and a white figure jump in after him.
Well, chances were that one of them was the idiot shooting everything up, so he kicked the window in, and followed after them.

I am currently away, in a place without internet. This state may persist for some time. I will change this sig when I am not away.As Doll watched the ambulance drive off to bring the young girl to the hospital, she turned back to the apartment. Vigil hasn't come back out yet...
The sound of a grenade explosion in the direction of the apartment brought Doll to attention, and she began her run back into the building.
Aria picked up one of the pamphlets and opened it up. "'Reasons why you should let your city be ruled by the great Captain Zeppelin'...?"
Quietly pocketing the piece of paper, Aria acknowledged Jeff and started to walk away with him from the scene, trying to look like a normal nervous and terrified civvie while she did so.
As Mimic left the scene, some texts arrived on his cell phone.
Looks like things didn't turn out the way I was hoping they would. My apologies. I didn't know what level of super circumstances had set against me this time, but at the very least I am getting a better picture of the threat I am facing. Though you were unable to neutralize him, I appreciate what you've done.
Skull continued to stride on the murky fluid echoes of dripping water around himself. And then he heard a second splash. And moments later, a third one.
Company He thought, as he put his nightvision on. Should've known they'd try to chase down to the corners of earth if need be. Sigh. He cocked his assault rifle as he went to the darkest areas of the sewer system, where he could ambush them at will. He also deployed his last smoke tube to further confuse them.
No more restraint. He added to himself.Screw the budget, these guys should be taught when not to follow.
"Its nothing.", Drew replied quietly and equally as hastily, not wanting Andrew to start asking questions. Drew tilted his head towards the door slightly, thinking. He didn't want to be rude, but... "Maybe you should go.", he said finally, turning fully towards the door and to where Andrew was just out of sight. "Live life instead of talking to me.", he added solemnly.

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillAndrew felt a sting of anger seep into his thoughts. Sure, he might be impossing on the guy a bit, but seriously? Dude had some issues he needed to work out before he started slipping down the slope. The teen shrugged, doing his best to hide his distaste towards the guy who had saved him the previous night.
"Fine, whatever, I'll get out of your hair. Sorry if I cramped your style or anything like that." Grabbing his outfit and putting it in his backpack he exited the room.
Yeesh. What a d-bag.
Walking down the street, Andrew yawned. He had nothing to do since he didn't really know anyone in New Radio City besides that guy who he had just gotten kicked out by. Maybe he'd go kill some time practicing his powers so he wouldn't get so fucked over as he did last time.
"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValAs Andrew left, Drew sighed inwardly. "Nothing like that," he told himself, regretting acting like that. Its the price i pay, he thought to himself, looking around his apartment for nothing in particular. He wasn't quite sure what he was going to do now that he had left, but he'd be content with retreating to his thoughts for now. Alcohol could come at a later time, he'd suffer a bit for now.
"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillScan picked up one of the pamplets and walked off as well, intent on washing up.
Wizard Needs Food BadlyGale started from his rooftop perch, as he heard the unmistakable sound of a grenade going off down below. He flew over to Sheathe, and only took the time to say "Sewers" before flying off again, speeding back to the apartments and through the doorway to the sizable hole in the floor of the basement.
Justice Man continued his patrol, having a surprisingly difficult time of finding a man whose trademark ability was incredible leaps.

As Andrew was walking along, he spotted a man in a superhero outfit who looked like he was looking for something or someone. They weren't kidding calling this place the City of Heroes...
"Yo!" hollered the teen, waving his arms. "Whatchu doin' there?"

"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValAfter sending no reply, Mimic received another series of texts.
I imagine you're dissatisfied with the conclusion of the task I gave to you. To be perfectly honest, I am as well. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can send you to at the moment.
The one event still going on at the moment is a mercenary escaping into the sewers. Killed six cops, then after he accidentally wounded a child, tried to call a "bloodless retreat." However, one hero is already on the scene, with more on their way.
Hmm... While nothing is happening there at the moment... Do you remember that vampire child who stopped you from eliminating the cat thief Darktail? If it interests you, I have the address she found herself moving to after the destruction of old Radio City.
Lastly, you can simply find something to do yourself. Send a message back if you want any details to either of the options I have provided you.
Aria opened up the front door to an immodest but one story house - it was rather large for Jeff and her to live in, but with the extra income Aria made from the theater, she could afford it. So why the hell not.
"Alright, so a jetpack. The parts I use for a motorcycle are enough for lift and maybe a few minutes of gliding, so we have that. But we'll probably need more oomph if we're gonna actually be flying up to where Captain Zeppelin is, especially if you'll be carrying me up there too. I'll call up Tom and see if he can get me the the right parts... Hmm, haven't been to the Mana Bar in a while. Maybe I should drop by..."
As Doll walked in the halls of the apartment, a blur of wind rushed past her. Pressed against a wall, she watched the blurred visage of a fast moving superhero fly towards an open door with some stairs leading down. Not a moment after, she headed in the same direction, only to spot Black Rose.
"...what are you, of all people, doing here?"
Of course he's in the sewers. They always retreat into the sewers. Sheathe sighed as she took herself off her rifle. The mercenary was getting away and carrying it around would be a hindrance; heading down into the alleyway, she hid the sniper rifle away before heading towards the apartment building.

Vigil moved as quietly as the hero could manage among the dirty water of the sewers as it stalked the shooter. Seeing the dimly lit silhouette of the man turning down a corner and moments later a smoke bomb coming to impede the hero's vision Vigil decided to take a gamble.
Picking another flash grenade from its belt the hero ran into the smoke, throwing the flash grenade just as it made the turn. After that hero started to run three paces into the new corridor before leaping into the unknown, hoping to catch his opponent disoriented by the flash.
Meanwhile Dorothy was having a nice day of shopping in one of the city's fanciest stores for spoiled brats of the city's elite. Attended by a couple of employees as she went through almost every outfit of the store while Bruno stood awkwardly at the ready in case a hidden threat decided the strike while the Mistress was at her most vulnerable.

Raziel was following the white-clad person when a smoke grenade bounced around the corner, thrown by the black-clad guy. White then threw a grenade of his own at Black, before dashing around the corner himself.
"Why does everyone in this city have to be so bloody hasty?" He muttered to himself as he unlimbered his axe, and hurried around the corner after them.
I am currently away, in a place without internet. This state may persist for some time. I will change this sig when I am not away.

Captain Zeppelin swung a robotic fist at Scan.
