Riza sighed. “It seems that one of us needs to come with them,” she said and nodded toward the cops. “Do you want to, or should I? Frankly, I could use a change of clothes.”

Ra, believing the voice to come from Amaterasu, grinned. "Your tricks are formidable, temptress.” He slammed his fist on his chest. “I will inform you that the owner of this location has attempted to invade my personal ethereal belongings through one of those rudimentary glass devices which display words! Now, speak any information you possess on this treacherous being!”
The Museum
“Urgh…” Jessica moaned out, trying to open her eyes. “I feel like a sack of potatoes that just got thrown around… anybody has a-a glass of w-water?”

"I took them home with me, of course." Javier said with a beaming grin. "If lil Beth wants to see them, she can come by my condo any time. We'll have so much fun brushing their hair, and playing with them, and talking about bo-"
And then a Scot broke through the door and started shouting. Richard turned and looked at the man and sized him up before sighing and shaking his head. "I'm th' owne 'ere, what can I do ya fer, friend?" He asked, walking up to the man.
Warehouse
"What tricks? My friend's talking to me." She said to Ra before turning back to Vigil. "We should at least try diplomacy a while longer." She whispered back before turning to him again. "As I said before, we have no information to give you, that is why we are searching for him as well."
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperRa lowered his finger, looking to one side before looking at the other. "This is unacceptable! I have been watching this location for weeks, and the first sign of activity is of a temptress engaged in the same search as me. I, the God King Ra, will not be led around in circles!" He stomped his way over to Amaterasu, before sitting down in front of her. "I request an audience so that we may coordinate searching efforts and find the culprit sooner rather than later."
Warehouse
"Requesting an audience...with me or Vigil?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. Amaterasu inherently did not trust "Gods" from other pantheons very much, as they were notorious for fighting at the drop of a hat. She had been able to refrain from joining in too many brawls, but she did have to occasionally break up the odd fight.

Beaming, Angus said "Ah, just the man I was lookin' for. I've heard that your establishment has something of a promotion in which I can attempt ta take on some o' your staff in a wrasslin' match and potentially earn me a free meal. I intend to earn that meal."
Dangling off of the Conductor's Train - Crackdown
After smashing one of the windows and climbing into the car he was hanging off of, Crackdown began making his way towards the front of the train. Upon reaching the head of the train, Crackdown would draw his beanbag shell (non-lethal) loaded shotgun and attempt to kick the door open.
Alannah, near the Blue Dragon
With a frown of concentration, Alannah retracted her glass bit-by-bit, allowing the cop to restrain her captive as she turned her attention back to Riza.
"So could I." She sighed and massaged her temples. "To be honest, all I want to do right now is go home and curl up in a ball for a few hours."
"What about- oh, great, the luchador guy is gone." She looked around once she noticed the masked hero's absence. "Maybe we could get Mr Unicorn over there to do it."
Vigil, warehouse
"That would be me." Vigil had the watchdog step forward at her words. With a click and a shimmer of light, her holographic avatar materialised in front of it, crossing its arms and giving the villain a suspicious look. "What would this... 'audience' involve?"
"Oh, a newcomer!" Ra belted out, rubbing his chin. "I knew it. The audience would involve you, canine, and you, temptress, making a bond of loyalty to I, the God of Sun, that you shall help me find the owner of this cursed establishment. In return, I may, perhaps, give you both some of his face to pound into dust."

Riza fished around in her pockets, finally finding what she was looking for and presenting it to Alannah. “Here, have this,” she said. Although the packet was a bit dirty with snake brains, the sticker announcing its contains to the world was still readable. “Wulong tea”, it said, with a small blue dragon curling through the letters. “It'll help your mood.”
She turned around and surveyed the impromptu celebration that was forming nearby. “Hey, Mr Unicorn! Can you come over here for a second, please?”
The Conductor - Ritz-Carlton Hotel
When the vigilante came a-knocking on his door, on his door, the smart thing for the Conductor to have done would be to lock it and keep him out. Unfortunately for all parties involved, the Conductor was not a smart man. Pressing on the autopilot (simple enough; its only directions were go up and fire everywhere), the Conductor got off his chair and stomped to the door, sliding it open with one hand while firing off a lightning ball with the other.
"NO TICKET, NO RIDE!!!"
Cassandra Tal - The Flying Suplex
"Oh I'm sure she'd enjoy it very much," Cassandra mused, ignoring the shouting Irishman that arrived for a free meal. "But Beth isn't one to do things for herself, even when I insist. Hmm, but suppose I send her to your address on the pretense of an errand? No instructions, just a simple 'Arrive here and listen to the man waiting there for you' or some such..."
Back at the Blue Dragon
With the monkey now safe in Henry's care, Guerrero Rey felt free to return to the scene of the fight. With the crowd mostly dispersed, it was easier to walk up to the tea shop.
"I could use something," he said, seemingly out of nowhere.
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the GreatConductor's Train - Crackdown
"Son of a bi-" were the only words that Crackdown managed to blurt out before he took the brunt of the Conductor's ball of electricity. After collapsing to his knees after the shock (har har) of taking such an intense amount of electricity, Crackdown was back on his feet within seconds with his shotgun holstered and brass knuckles on his fists. Judging by the appearance of his opponent, Crackdown guessed that he'd be able to drop The Conductor pretty quickly if he managed to hit him enough times. Deciding to see what he couldn't do about knocking his opponent out Crackdown grunted "You're being a dick." before throwing a hook at The Conductor's face.

Riza rolled her eyes at Uniscorn's nickname for her. “I was wondering if you could do us a favour and keep an eye on this Bananimal person while those two” — she nodded at the two cops — “take him to the police station; both I and her” — she pointed at Alannah — “could certainly use a change of clothes.” A pause. “Who knew snake brains were so smelly?”

"Water? No." Natasya quickly replied to Jessica's question, before stepping around the others "Though, fortunately, I do have medical training. Let me check you, real quick."
As it stood, Natasya was fairly inclined towards helping Jessica maintain her cover, and she could easily confirm any 'injuries' that the woman may have been claiming.
The Streets of Rail
"AH! A TRUE BATTLE BETWEEN EQUALS! YOUR CONDITIONS ARE MOST ACCEPTABLE, HONORABLE CHALLENGER. IF IT IS TRULY THE METTLE OF METAL THAT YOU WISH TO TEST, I WELCOME YOU TO THIS FIELD OF BATTLE!" Heavy Metal boisterously agreed to Tyr's terms, shouldering his axe as he did so.

"Ms. Jessica!" Belinda said cheerfully after seeing who it was. "It's good that you aren't too hurt." She heard the police outside. "Excuse me for a moment, I need to talk with them..." Durga watched as Belinda left, and then turned her attention back to Jessica and Natasya, cat-like eyes watching them intently.
"Smoke?" she asked.
Rail History Museum
Natasya shrugged at Durga's question "The nutjob did start a fire earlier, before the fight moved outside. If she was lying here, unconscious, it wouldn't be surprising for her to breath some of the smoke in."
That was BS, but it sounded reasonable. Natasya had put out the fire in fairly short order, it hadn't been a particularly smoky fire, and if she had been lying down any smoke inhalation would have been minimal. She had been called to enough fires, that she would have factored all of these things into her deductions, if she had been examining the scene.
A moment later, Natasya began examining Jessica's ankle with some very light prodding "Let me know where it hurts..."

Richard nodded his head as the man spoke. "Ah Figured ya was 'ere for tha', then." He said with a grin, clapping him on the shoulder. "Well alrigh' th'n, let's git down to 't."
"That would be fine, Senorita Cassandra." Javier said with a beaming smile. "I'm sure the kittens would love to see her again."

Amaterasu's eyes narrowed under the brim of her hat when he referred to her as a temptress. Of all things to call her, that had to be it...
"I suppose...that will be fine for now." She said, hiding her distaste.

Alannah blinked in surprise and accepted the packet of tea, wiping the wrapper a bit on the pavement. "Oh, uh, thanks." She said, looking back up at Riza and hoping that her scarf didn't completely mask the smile on her face. She tucked the tea into a pocket of her pants and looked around as Uniscorn approached.
"You showed up late to the fight, so it's only fair, right?" She added dryly once Riza had spoken. "You're not as beat up as we are."
Vigil, warehouse
"I... would be willing to a degree of cooperation." Vigil replied after a moment, her synthesised voice carefully neutral. They'd have to be careful with this one. I can see the headlines already. 'Superheroines ally with dangerous villain!'
"However, I must make it clear that any arrangement between us won't preclude my duty to uphold the law." Vigil stated carefully. "I will be obliged to oppose any illegal activity on your part."
TFS - Angus
Angus grinned broadly and said "Excellent! Who'll I be facing and are there any particular rules I should know about before we get on with this?"
Streets - Tyr
Seeing as the terms of the duel were agreeable to both fighters, Tyr began marching towards Heavy Metal with Skjoldr held across his torso and Brandr in front of the shield and pointed directly at the Robot Overlord. Once he was a few meters away from Heavy Metal, Tyr stopped and held still as he waited for his opponent to make the first move.

The Conductor - Ritz-Carlton Hotel
Feeling that flying his gravity defying train through the floors of the hotel were not quite havoc wrecking enough, the Conductor flipped a few switches, letting lightning bolts blast forth from his speakers. Humming along to Moonlight Sonata as he took down the hotel one level at a time, the villain had completely failed to notice the gunwielding Crackdown hitching a ride onto the window of one of the cars.
