Cemetery - Chapel Roof (Belltower)
As the little events in the general area of the old church came into fruition, there sat a lone figure in the darkness of the tower. Said figure was obviously the mercenary-esque, morally ambiguous person known as Cazador. What was he doing there, exactly, looking down at the graveyard on eating some of the food he brought? Well, he was originally there to put an end to the little scheme they had to rob the museum, as an anonymous client had paid him to do.
Of course, it was more fun watching them deal with a shotgun wielding lunatic instead. So, Caz was simply biding his time, munching on some energy bars, and wishing that at least one head would get blown off during the fight.
Richard was never particularly skilled at dealing with anxiety or awkwardness. And right now he felt as if he was at the breaking point for the latter. To be sharing a room with the likes of Wernhark, Natow, The Alien Prince, Cassandra, and many other esteemed persons was almost maddening for one such as himself, a simple restaraunt owner/super in disguise. The fact that he was sharing a table with one of those people, and one who seemed to have taken an interest in him not too long ago, was only compounding his situation.
"Lady Luck is surely laughing her ass off at me, few men are this fortunate and yet unfortunate at once..." he mumbled to himself before downing an entire glass of tequila, eager to get that familiar buzz.
With the servers
As Esteban reasoned with the strange man, the rest of the servers began to move. To the Prince and his two other-otherwordly guests, Claudia made her way, bearing a tray of appetizers and tequila based drinks of varying strength. A younger man, perhaps one out of highschool, by the name of Louis, went over to the table shared by the two young women to take their orders. As that was happening, Talia would be waited on by Rodriguez, a mountain of a man who looked like he benched entire cars in his leisure time.

Katherine made her way through the door at the back of her store and walked down the stairs to the basement. Business had been slow that day and she was bored with time to kill so she might as well help her associate with his dubious activities.
Making her way through the messy basement, Katherine made herself comfortable at her master computer, complete with half-a-dozen screens and made by herself via adding in the best technology in various computer models. Booting the computer up, Katherine logged in and in a few seconds her home screen was up, and she clicked on her browser, researching the museum and it's new collection in order to gain as much information as possible before hacking into it's CCTV system.
After a few minutes, after she had completed her research, Katherine started doing what she did best. Although, to be honest, the CCTV system was hardly a challenge. She already had a general script that hacked into most CCTV cameras, she just had to tweak it a bit. Rewriting parts of the code so that it would work on the Museum's camera's and also loop the empty corridors (well except for the pacing of the guards but that was part of the loop so it would just look like them pacing normally) of the Museum with everyone focused on the Nail collection. After roughly a quarter of-an-hour she was done, and she flipped out her smartphone and called Rha. "Alright, Rha, I've put the CCTV cameras on a loop so entering any of the corridors except for the room where the Nails are being presented should be safe except for the guards, now, for my payment, just come round to my store after your business and give me the money. Agreed?"

Cot smiled at her tablemate's tone. "Probably," she replied. "Don't look now, but I think they're onto us..." She returned the wink from the alien prince with a small wave and a teasing smile; he was definitely handsome, and Anders probably wouldn't have been able to meet his eyes without blushing, but Cot had a bit more practice with that kind of thing... from guys, at least. Would she have blushed if given a wink by a lovely lady? Almost certainly! Like the elegant woman who had been talking to the princes earlier out in the foyer. That was probably her down in the front, Cot figured. Her dress left a fair amount of her back exposed, which was nice. Very nice, actually.
The server standing by the table distracted her, and she looked up. "Uh, sparkling cranberry juice?" she asked. "How about you...?" She looked over at her tablemate, realizing that she hadn't asked the woman's name.

The elemental looked back towards his primary target readying several more spears to hurl at the earliest opportunity. Then he set the spears into an orbit around himself and form a handful of needles which he aimed towards the avian woman's face and launched.

"Otterman Emperor!" Queen Quetzal spun and yanked Kroeger with him ("BROUHHGHH?!"), narrowly sidestepping the spears. "You imperialist bastard! You fucking uncle tom son of a bitch! You would betray the oppressed?!" She took to the air right as a tremor shot through the earth, dragging Kroeger behind her. "You would dare stop a strong woman of color's growth in power!?" However, in doing so she ended up getting clipped in the back by one of Uniscorn's rounds, sending her spiraling down, but... at least closer to the exit, the tunnel from the arena to the parking garage! She smashed into the ground, tumbled, and recovered, grabbing Kroeger by the throat and continuing her mad drag for the exit. If she could just make it, she could turn this into a car chase instead of a brawl! She directed the sun ray normally shining down on her away from herself, sweeping across the gathered supers to attempt a mass blinding.

Rail City Museum - Show room
Suddenly being grabbed by Cassandra and dragged to the table, Daniel tried explaining why he couldn't come "I-I'm needed elsewhere and I probably should go check on the guys in the camera room." his pleas fell on seemingly deaf ears. Dan eventually gave up and tried to enjoy himself. After listening to a good chunk of the speech about the Holy Lance and it's importance, Daniel was beginning to get anxious and attempted to sneak off to go check the security cameras.

Katherine smiled as she ended the call and put her phone back into her pocket. That was easy cash made. In a rather happy mood, Katherine turned back to her computer and tweaked her script once more so she could watch the Nails collection. Apparently it was highly sponsored and recommended. Camera views replaced all 6 of her screens and her eyes traveled across the screen taking in everyone at the event. And by God, there were a lot of people, she started playing the fun game of pointing all of them out.

Bliiindeed by the liiiiiiiiight...
Jake never thought he'd ever be remembering that little diddy again, but there you are. Just after landing pretty darn close to Quetzalcoatl, she went and blinded everyone and their mothers! And maybe the ice-bastard had something to do with it too...
But that didn't matter now. The good news was that he'd been here before, so even being hardly able to see, he had a decent idea where the exists was and what direction to head in, and thanks to being far more durable than the average human being, his sight was already beginning to clear. He could just make out a feather or two, moving towards... somewhere. Ah well, whatever. He then cranked himself right into full gear, charging towards the feathers like a mad bull, and hoping he wouldn't hit the hostage...

Because he was ducking down behind the seats to reload, Uniscorn wasn't affected by the sunflash although he definitely saw it in his periphereal vision. After he finished reloading, he brought his pistol up to fire at whoever he saw first.
And the person, or rather otter, he saw first happened to be Otto. A very slow moving Otto. He grinned and took aim - firing at the otter's left leg.
"STOP! BEFORE I'M FORCED TO GET DRASTIC!" Uniscorn shouted before sprinting over to the furry creature.

After a few faltering starts Queen Quetzal took to the air again, meeting the ice spears with feathers of her own. Hovering about ten feet off the ground, she slowly cruised away—but going through the tunnel was no longer acceptable. It would place her within arms' reach of that thing below her. But first, she snapped a picture of him, and all the other supers attacking her, and published them to her tumblr as she ascended up, trying to get over the stands so she could drop down over the walls of the arena.
Destroy these men.

"Oh, but of course; our gracious host has my thanks." He took a tequila, and downed in it one gulp before placing the glass neatly back on the tray; he didn't seem even the least bit drunk. "Tell me, I expect I shall be rather disappointed if I ask this question, but regardless; do you happen to possess any spare flagons of mead in stock?"
The Arena
Jake stopped dead in his tracks, or as least as close as he could. He could heart; the ruffling of feathers as something — likely Quetzalcoatl — moved above. He looked up; by now, his sight had improved, and he could just make out Quetzalcoatl flying above, trying to get away over the stands.
Fat chance!
He leaped high into the air once gain, this time grabbing hold of her right leg with one mighty mitt, and trying to bring her down to the ground with him...

"Get your hands off me..." Queen Quetzal began to sink from all the weight she was carrying, but she raised a foot and took aim at Brick House's face. "you damn dirty ape!" She sent a kick straight down at his face. If he just took the hit, she had a storm of point-blank feathers ready. Seeing that the people were recovering and figuring that wouldn't work again, she instead focused the blinding sunlight straight down, onto the grappler's face.

"I am not AN ANIMAL!", he said, the kick not really doing much. "...Wait, wha— AGH!"
Indeed, the light blinded Jake once again, but instead of causing him to let go like Quetzalcoatl had hoped, the big lummox just squeezed harder, possibly crushing the would-be Goddess' ankle in the process...

Otto had had enough of this. He needed to chase the flying evildoer! But this unicorn was in his way. He quickly dodged out of the way of the bullets, before whistling, calling his two War-Otters, Hamish and Scott-William, to attack Uniscorn.
He rubbed his highs and, while Uniscorn was distracted swam up after Queen Quetzal, attempting to rip out her feathers. His otter fury was unleashed!
