The idiot! If there was one thing he learned from his own hostage-taking days, it's that if the perp with the hostage even so much as gets a hint that he/she's going to be attacked, they'll hurt the fucking hostage. Seriously, the hell?

"HEY!", he yelled out, his attention turned to his new icy 'friend.' You wanna' get the hostage killed, or what?"

"My directive was to force hostilities to cease. I am accomplishing that in the most efficient manner possible." The elemental presence intoned. It absent-mindedly flicked a wrist towards the other man creating and launching an ice chain with weights at each end like a bolas to entrap him and prevent interference.

Museum

Alannah blinked in slight surprise as the tall woman sitting next to her spoke, leaning in to listen. She snorted, nodding wryly. "Yeah, no sane exhibit owner is going to send something like that here. And I wouldn't put it past the city to ship in some fakes. Their PR's been in the toilet ever since the breakout." She replied, actually quite pleased to have something to distract her from the fairly dull speech. "Rail is still going strong! Pay no attention to the 99 lunatics on our doorstep!" She added, quietly imitating the robotic mayor's ridiculous accent.


Highway

As the cars streaked towards her robot, Vigil crunched the numbers. A millisecond later, she wasn't particularly liking what they were saying. This is going to leave a mark...

The Watchdog jettisoned its hose and leaped to one side, cutting of the streams of water. It was not an agile machine, too slow to avoid the attack completely, but its AI pilot managed to turn its body to minimise the damage it took.

One of the cars still slammed into the Dog's hip, sending it rolling and crashing over several stalled cars. With portions of its armour crumpled and sparking, Vigil wrenched it onto its stomach and fired a few more tazer rounds up at the villain as she push teh robot to its feet, maintaining the sonic attack.

Cot snorted at the imitation, which would have been cruel if the Mayor had been a person. "I don't know who they're trying to fool," she said, relaxing a little bit as she smiled at her new confidante. "Maybe they're trying to entrap a super or something? I hear Brimstone is back on his feet after the beating he got from the Parsonist." She couldn't help but chuckle at the name. "Maybe he'd be dumb enough to try to steal it? I bet there are a dozen supers in this very room, though." She looked around. There was no way the Museum security staff didn't have at least one guy who could bench a tractor or throw force bullets, and there were probably some other heroes around, just not wearing their costumes. There was some kind of petulant-looking child, sitting on top of a table and getting a talking-to by one of the masked waiting staff; that was probably a good bet. Maybe one of the guys up on stage, too? That one was a bit harder to tell.

It's been fun.

Alannah returned the smile with a wry grin of her own, although a quickly-suppressed flash of worry crossed her face as the woman commented on the super-human content of the audience. More than you know, lady... She thought to herself, swallowing. Rationally, she knew it was next to impossible that anyone knew about her, but that didn't stop the instinctive reaction. The fact that she immediately knew precisely how much of the room was in shadow didn't help either.

"Huh... you think so?" She said quickly, looking around herself. "Well, those alien nobles, or whatever they are, are over there. There's also a super fight going on down on the highway right now, though, maybe most of them are dealing with that?" She pointed out. Her expression soured a little as a thought occured to her. " Still. if they really are trying to trap a supervillain, I'm not going to be particularly happy about being part of the bait."

"Tell me about it," Cot murmured. Still, if it came to that, she wasn't going to be the kind of bait who just sat and whimpered until it was over. Nope, she would... probably set part of the wall on fire and smash through it once it was weakened, then run away. At least that wasn't sitting and whimpering! "I don't think I could ignore the green skin, do you?" she commented, looking over at the alien man a few tables away. "Or blue. Blue might be better."

It's been fun.

Otto suddenly jumped into a combat pose, with his fists raised. "I warn you: hurt these humans, and I will call my Otter rage down on you!".

Suddenly, three spears flew past him, careening towards Quetzal.

Outside the Museum

Across the the road was parked an old black Chevy Impala. Within it sat a black haired man dressed very much like a detective. He ate a bowl of chili as he kept a watchful eye on the entrance. He'd been staked there for a few hours now taking careful note of who went in and out. He was surprised to have seen the esteemed Prince of Venus and his bodyguard enter the building not too long ago.

The man scarfed down the rest of his chili and looked at the empty paper bowl in an almost dissapointed manner. He took out a note book and started flipping through the pages. Earlier he had made note of an individual entering the Museum with a rather potent smell.

Rail World History Museum - Helena's Nails Showroom

"Yes, yes, I believe a life of luxury sounds perfect," Zack said, agreeing with the prince. Although he really just said it so as not to offend the man.

As the trio made their way to the exhibit's unveiling, Zack took some time to talk about his shop and the historical society-slash-Guild front that his foster father had set up. "Albright Spells and Oddities is a hobby store of sorts, your majesty, though the original store we have here at Rail would give anyone the impression that it was a simple shop. We sell niche products that cater to the more arcane elements of society. My great-grandfather founded the store and it's been passed down to every eldest child," he started, recounting the first booth that his ancestor had started with the money he was given by Aleister Crowley. "These days, we have around thirty stores around the entire United States. I rarely ever visit all of them, however. That's what a board of directors is for," he added, slightly chuckling to the thought of being some corporate head honcho. Uncle Hermie was in charge of that, as all assets had been passed onto him due to Zack's young age at the time of his father's that.

By the time they were able to find a place for themselves at the main exhibition hall, Zack was at work explaining a brief history of the Witwer Historical Society. Well, at least, without telling the Venusian royal about the whole 'it's really just a front for an occult guild'. "An old acquaintance of my grandfather founded the society, actually. We usually get our funding for trips like these from government institutions and private contracts. I studied in Anthropology so they signed me on as a researcher." Of course, he didn't expect Zalyn to be too interested in his background in working for the society. The Cliffs Notes for that would be 'My foster dad owns the society so he hired me.'

"Well, your highness, here we are," he mentioned, as it looks like a speech was already underway. Not that Zack was too interested in it. His mind had already been a tug-of-war between explaining part of his life to two Venusians and horrid postulations of what kind of dark secrets the Iron Crown and the Spear of Longinus might have.

"Ignore...? Oh!" Alannah followed the other woman's gaze towards the two alien dignitaries, realising what she meant. The technicolour skin was pretty striking, true, but she had to admit the alien was pretty handsome underneath that. "Hmm... I could probably learn to look past it." She replied, chuckling wryly.

"Very interesting..."

It seemed that someone had been listening in to Zack's conversation. Stepping in from the side was a tall, well-built man in a classy tuxedo, with combed white hair and a well-trimmed beard&mustache. Though perhaps most interestingly of all may have been the black eyepatch over his left eye. His lips then curved into a pleasant smile, as he said...

"Dearly sorry to overhear, but I just couldn't resist. Natow, Dino Natow, CO of Sleipner Industries. Believe it or not, I'm quite the patron of the arts. ...Something tells me I should already know who you are, but alas, the name escapes me...


Arena

Pssssh. This was nothing more than a chilly day, really. It took a bit of effort, but with just some flexing of the muscles, chunks of ice scattered throughout the air and over the ground as Harley broke free. And then he noticed that, if this... otter? What the hell? ...If this abomination was anything to go by, than maybe being a Superhero wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

"What is wrong with you people?! Someone's life is life on the line, hello?"

And it was as if they had completely ignored him offering himself up as a hostage as well. This wasn't going to go over well in the papers, that was for certain...

Phase looked in the direction he had heard the engine and saw a man getting out of a van with a shotgun. He carefully put a hand in one pocket barely touching a finger to his emergency escape route. "Hello sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

The shockwave knocked abyssalCold off his feet and ruined his concentration over the delicate manipulation of the needles loosing them in a storm of razor sharp shrapnel in every direction as the elemental shielded himself from the worst of it by redirecting what he could away from himself but still taking a couple needles to his arms and torso.

Otto saw the shockwave heading his way, and jumped, treading water to stay in the sky. He threw up an ice shield when the needles approached him, and was able to block most of them. However, a few still got through and hit him before the shield was fully formed.

"I'm now confident that you are a villain! Have at thee!", he shouted, before flying straight at Brick House.

"Okay, this is just gettin' too crazy..."

Jake leaped high into the air, making his takeoff just as the strange otter-abomination got close. And Jake's destination?

None other than Quetzalcoatl herself. He had tried to save the hostage, he really did, but it seems that everyone else had other ideas. And his own plans, loath as he was to admit it, didn't exactly work out that well either. And so, as a few ice needles harmlessly broke agaisnt his skin, he was soon plummeting down right in front of Quetzalcoatl...

Rail Museum - Show Room

Trying her best to look as equally inconspicuous and conspicuous as possible, a sharply-dressed woman, followed closely by two bodyguards dressed almost as sharply. Her sunglasses were as dark as the night, covering her face, but definitely not covering her identity. This was the infamous Talia 'Monkeymaker' Wernhark. Not only well-known for her amass of wealth in a short time, but also the size of some...less than flattering angles on her body. Everyone always wondered, which had more dough? Her vault or her ass?

Talia took a seat at a table, not too close to the front and not too close to the back. It wasn't a surprise that she would be here. She's wanted to have a stake in the museum's profits for a very long time, as well as having a personal admiration for the artifacts within. Behind her shades, she turned her gaze towards Cassandra, who was sitting right up front. She didn't let her distaste show on her visage.

She then turned to Jessica and waved her over, casually.

Uniscorn heard the shouting. He heard the terror. He heard the police scanners. He grinned. They were playing his song. He geared up dramatically in front of a store window, cocking his guns and kissing his reflection. Man, he really needed to get a boombox or something to start blaring some Black Sabbath every time he made an entrance.

Regardless, Ozzie would have to wait as he started ominously walking down the street, guns out. He could probably arrive in the arena sooner if he ran but appearances were everything. He finally made it to the arena, which wasn't far from his current location and charged in - guns blazing. He started hopping the seats down to wear the fighting and chaos was. He grinned.

"Alright I'm not sure who's fighting who so, for the moment, I'm assuming that NO ONE'S ABOVE AN ASS WHOOPING!" Uniscorn hollered and started firing at Otterman Emperor, Queen Quetzal, and abyssalCold equally.

"DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A UNICORN!!!" his voice added to the already loud noises of his bullets.

Rail World History Museum- Showroom

Zalyn found he actually quite liked Zack despite the somewhat monotonous edge to him. He was actually quite forthcoming and so far, much more respectful than any of the other museum patrons. Zalyn wondered what he would be like with a few drinks in him. Perhaps he would ask Zack to join him on a little trip later.

Zalyn said, "Interesting. On my planet, mysticism was all mostly tricks in the name of the Gods. The real power lay with the psionics. But it seems as if you humans might have something real going on. You simply must take me to see some of these shops of yours sometime." Zalyn chuckled at Zack's remark about management and he smiled, "Yes. I myself almost had a cushy token job before I came here. Perhaps I will gain it back someday."

They entered the showroom and the trio soon gained as much attention as the actual artifacts. Zalyn smiled and pretended to ignore the other patrons. He noted the arrival of Talia Wernhark. Her posterior was the stuff of legend and Zalyn didn't need to be experienced to covertly catch sight of the monument to the female buttocks. He resolved to introduce himself later. Then Zalyn's instincts told him that some of the interest in him was more than cursory. He was about to (covertly) investigate when just then a strange (but well-groomed) older gentleman appeared before them.

Zalyn arched his eyebrow as the man introduced himself. Kor'An remained silent, ready as ever to protect his liege and friend. Zalyn wasn't used to being ignored in conversation, "Sleipner Industries?" Zalyn's gut still nagged at him and he found the eyes of two young women. They seemed at least a little curious. Zalyn grinned a little grin and winked, his eyes flashing as he did so. This event was getting more and more interesting.
