"You think this can- ow! -stop me? Aah! I'm gonna- ow! -gonna- eee! -I'm gonna find you and...and...aaaargh!"

But there was only so much the Melter could do. As Jarvis presumably obeyed the command to spray the burning liquid from every surface he could, the Melter's suit was gradually corroded, and his flesh was gradually scalded.

The Riddler watched the chaos unfold through the tiny window of his cell. While the city was in this state, it was the perfect time to escape. He held up his crossword to the window.

On the other side of the road, perched on top of a building, Franco the sniper looked at his boss and the sheet of paper through his sniper scope. The Riddler had written something on the crossword.

Bomb. Place. Sewer. Under asylum. Now.

"You told me to bust you out, Mr Nigma," Franco said to himself, "And that's what I'm going to do."

JARVIS's voice came from the ceiling over where Tony was waiting. Sir, I believe this enemy, designation "Melter" is becoming subdued. He seems to be in quite some pain.

"Oh." Tony lowered the chair, nodding a bit. "Okay, good." Tony started back up the stairs towards his penthouse. "Vent the room enough that he won't die, and seal it up so he can't get out. If he so much as twitches wrong, taze him until he stops. I need to get as much of the armor back on as I can and get back out there."

Inside the room, most of the valves would shut off, and a few slots in the ceiling would open, several all over, even as the hiss of vents meant most of the noxious cloud would start to dissipate. Greetings, sir Melter. Mr. Stark has requested that you do not attempt to flee. If you do, I have orders to bring you back under control, and I must make it clear that your weapon will not be able to stop all of mine, and since you have made your intentions to murder my creator clear, I will react to escape attempts quite negatively. Please, for your own health and safety, lay down and try to rest.

The AI's voice remained as calm and pleasant as ever, even as he was essentially threatening to kill a man.

He ran as much as he could up the stairs, getting back to the pile of his armor that had been dropped in a hurry. He quickly started pulling it back on, making a face at the missing left arm and ruined gun, but at least most of it was still on. The instant it was back together, shy one bare arm, he fired his communicator back up. "Hey, guys, I've dealt with my intruder...can anyone hear me out there? How are things going?"

Megan shook her head as Power Girl kept trying to get back up and fight. She sighed at still being called Magical-Gal and looked to Rogue. She nodded her head and said "Lets hope that you powers manage to come back. For now though there isn't much left that we can do."

Jack sighed and his shoulders lumped, "I'm not pretending that I have all the answers and God knows I don't think the system is perfect but I do know that it's bad enough that we've set ourselves outside the law. Once we try to set ourselves above it we mght as well stop pretending we're the 'good guys'. You're obviosly not stupid, whoever you really are, so ask yoursellf this question, Mr. Question, "Why do I do this?'. If the answer is anything but because you get a rush from playing God then you can't kill him in ccld blood. Ultimately we have to answer to something. The people we're trying to protect, each other, our own consciences or, pardon the cliche but it's true, we really won't be any better than he is."

"Sandman was.... Oh...I understand." Jack smiled ruefully. "We all have a beast in us. That...man in there used my studio to set this city on fire. Don't think for a moment that part of me doesn't want to kill him as much as you do." He started to get into the Prowler. "While we're on the way to the police, don't be afraid to hit every bump in the road. We need to be good. We don't have to be perfect."

Rogue looked pensive at Power Girl's comments. Almost as if what Power Girl said had cut through her more than any bullet could. Rogue seemed to have set herself down on the sidewalk.

"Yeah, sure, it's a godsend for me an' for others like me who just want to be normal, but what about them?" Rogue said pointin' to Storm and Sunspot. "They could control their powers and they weren't outcasts for how they looked."

"Langstrom... the Man-Bat told me that what became that booster was originally designed as a cure," Rogue looked depressed even just thinking about Langstrom. "The Joker preverted it... turned it into that booster."

"To curse other mutants with the inability to control their powers like I'm cursed with... That's just unforgivable," Rogue looked weak from the stress. "Yeah, I want a cure, but I don't want it bein' perverted like the Joker did to Man-Bat's cure or to be used against mutants who were happy with what they are an' ain't causin' any trouble."

"I hope this isn't permanent for their sakes, not mine." Rogue looked like a 16-year-old girl just in over her head.

"...Can't argue with that," Power Girl responded after a while. She leaned off the wall slightly, stretching her shoulders around and twisting her torso to keep her mind off the pain still searing in her abdomen. "I've run into plenty of folks who'd prefer not to have their powers - whether or not they could hide them - and I can't exactly tell them to do otherwise, what with the whole prejudice thing running around. To force them to expose themselves, whether or not they want to..." She shook her head, her brow furrowed in pity.

Power Girl lowered her head a bit, looking as if she was continuing to rest and recover, but the talk of the mass depowering brought an earlier question back to the surface. I'm definitely thankful that I still have my powers; Lord knows this city needs all the help it can get. But... why? I know I'm a mutant - I've gone through the 'symptoms', the regular stages of power development like they keep plastering all over the news and the net... so why......?

Tony paced a bit in the tower before returning to the broken window. "JARVIS, am I good to jump?"

Yes, sir.

He took a few steps back, then ran and jumped out the window, letting his repulsors come on. He was getting way too damned used to flying in damaged armor, so even with one arm completely missing, he wasn't too wobbly. "Storm? Rogue? Jaime? Rocket? Anybody? Somebody talk to me, let me know you guys are still alive out there...I'm back on the field, I can help now..."

Storm blinked as a beeping noise rang out from nearby. A communicator device...?

She jumped to her feet, a sickening lurch jolting through her. What the hell had happened to her, she wondered, hopping up—

—oh. That.

She shook her head, grabbing the communicator she had heard ringing and turning it on.

"...Mr Stark? It's Storm," she said simply. She wasn't sure she was up for extended conversation right now, but she kept talking, explaining all that had happened and desperately hoping that it would keep her mind off of the sickening fear of confinement that had been gnawing at her for the past God-knew-how-long.

"Storm! Thank God, I was honestly starting to worry that everyone was gone!" Tony actually sounded quite relieved, even through the synthesizing of his voice that disguised it. "Where are you? Are you all right? JARVIS, track her location and take me to her."

Right away.

Tony did another roll in the air, keeping his exposed arm tucked close, as the repulsors fired off and sent him shooting across the sky.

Rogue was brought out of her pity when she heard the beeping of a Justice Avengers communicator. She attempted to grab hers to find out that she didn't have it any more.

"Oh, right... number 4..." Rogue muttered, referencing the mental to-do list that's been running through her head. Pockets, weapon, training, earpiece, magic.

It was Storm's and she was chatting a, err, storm with Tony, "I'm gonna have to apologize to him for borrowin' his stuff."

Rogue looked at the shield. Dang, that was a lot of bullets that hit it if the damage on it was any indication. Looked much more like a bullseye after a rifle tournament than the legend's shield now.

Storm swallowed.

That was a good question, really.

"...I'm fine," she said finally, her voice toneless.

"No, no danger. Most of the worst is over, I think."

"You know, it's times like these that make me miss Harley." the Joker said, his voice loud enough so Ryder and the Question would hear him from the truck. "Shouldn't have poisoned her with that Man-Bat blood and turned her into a smart psychopath that will probably try to transform New York into her nest, select the best humans of this entire town, assimilate them and eat the rest. Oopsie! Did I say that out loud?" He laughed, and then let out a sigh. "Actually, that sounds pretty fun... d'ow... now I want her back..."

"Around here, at least," Power Girl interjected, waving a gloved hand around halfheartedly. If Iron Man could hear her (she was currently seated beside Storm) he would hear her voice as unfamiliar and somewhat-hoarse. "And really, kid," she addressed Storm, "should you be using his real name out here in the open? No one should be able to hear any of us right now, what with the gunfire and explosions and whatnot, but you never know..." For someone who had just found out billionaire playboy Tony Stark was one of their unlikely allies, her tone was surprisingly nonchalant.

Storm blinked as another voice cut into her thoughts. She jerked slightly, glancing down at Power Girl.

"...You're right," she said quietly. "My apologies."

"Don't sweat that, Storm," Tony replied, sounding somewhat amused. "Tell whoever you're with that a lot of people have already figured it out. Turns out I'm awful at keeping secrets. All right, I'm coming in for a landing."

Just outside the building, the armor righted itself and came down for a landing, and Tony started inside, letting his faceplate up, at this point completely uncaring who saw him, just searching out his allies.

Tony would find the group huddled up along the wall of the building just beside the busy hospital. Power Girl, having heard him call his landing in, didn't instinctively go on edge when the unfamiliar armored man arrived, and instead waved him over to where they were seated and recuperating.

"So... Metal-Man, I presume?" she said to him in greeting. "I'd get up and shake your hand, but as you can see my stomach feels like crap right now." She gestured at the black patch still on her costume's abdomen.

Around Tony, the various paramedics and patients all glanced at him in surprise; what was this known businessman doing in a place like this, wearing some kind of high-tech armor? The officers blocking the area off initially raised their guns against this new figure, but lowered them soon after upon seeing who it was and how casually the recuperating metas off to one side were greeting him.

Storm gave the older man a small nod as he landed, but she still seemed withdrawn, not even mustering her usual dry look at Tony.

Tony more or less ignored the guards, he was expecting it, honestly. "Iron Man, actually, but that's all right." Tony crouched, the metal creaking a bit, servos whirring. "Thank you for helping with this, though."

"Storm? Are you all right? You don't want to slap me because I'm in half-melted armor with fresh burn wounds?" Tony smiled vaguely at the girl, but it was clearly just an attempt to mask his concern, even as he was looking around the area, taking in the condition of a lot of the folks who were inside. "I should make sure to get as much of my medical tech here as I can once the streets are clear for transport..."

At Tony's ribbing Storm's eyes widened slightly, and she tried on a small smile.

"...Sorry, Tony. I'm fine," she said, rather unconvincingly, taking a few careful steps to prove her point. The teen's ankle was hurting less now, she noted distantly, even as she still tried to avoid getting too close to any of the other people surrounding her.
