A Supervillain Team's First Heist

In the alley two buildings away from a downtown bank, a trio of young women are pulling on the last pieces of their costumes.

"Hurry it up, Kyra. The longer we're back here the higher a chance someone walks by and sees us." One says to another.

Kyra is pulling on a scuba suit of all things. The feet are cut out to allow for a pair of boots instead, , but she's having trouble bunching up her long brown hair to tuck into the head of the suit. With a little help from the third girl, she gets the rest of it on, and puts on a goalie's mask for hockey, "I still don't see why I need the goalie mask. Makes me feel like a Jason wannabe." The rubber of the suit itself is blue with a pair of electric streaks on the outside.

"The scuba suit doesn't hide your features well enough, and we can't be recognized if we're going to pull this off." The first girl says, finishing zipping up her own suit. It was put together quickly, a white leather jacket, jeans, combat boots, and a motorcycle helmet that's obviously had a few tech enhancements put into it. for one thing, the tinted visor clearly has a HUD. A closer inspection would reveal that there's several technological items built into the costume in various places, but it's difficult to tell how much has been enhanced.

The third looks like the only one that put a large amount of effort into her costume. She even has a low quality cape, likely bought from a costume store. She wears ski goggles with a similar HUD display, and her suit is a spandex outfit with Tron lines painted in reflective blue; they don't really glow, since none of the group had the money for that. "We can't use our names anymore from here on in. Call me Azoth. What should I call you two?"

Both of the girls look at Azoth like she's crazy, but the one in the bike helmet sighs, "She's right. Just call me Tinker for now. We can come up with something more... more later."

Kyra sighs, "Sapphire for me, I guess. Blue and all that." Both Sapphire and Tinker are quietly embarrassed about how much Azoth is getting into this, but at least she's enthusiastic; the others, currently, are just nervous. Despite this, though, they quickly head over towards the bank.

--------------------------------

Inside the bank, an explosion can be heard as the fire hydrant across the street explodes. The normal citizens attempting to go about their business get on the floor, aware that either there's a super fight going on outside, or they're about to be robbed. The cashier doesn't even hesitate to trip the alarm before hitting the deck.

And then trio bursts in. Azoth screams out, "Alright everybody-" she stops when she sees everybody is already on the ground, "Uh, stay on the ground! Don't move, and we won't hurt anybody!"

Tinker just shakes her head and her HUD points out a particular individual behind the counter, "You there, the guy with the white shirt. you're coming with me to your boss's office." With some prodding, the banker nods, and starts taking Tinker towards the offices in the back of the building. Sapphire, on the other hand, heads towards the Employees Only door which, while open, shows the safety deposit boxes of the bank. Water rushes in after her from the fire hydrant across the street, and will break the door down with a muffled crack, allowing her entrance to the back. Now to work on opening the vault.

Azoth, of course, stays where she is, looking imperious as she watches the people on the floor for signs of heroic behaviour - never know when someone is going to end up being a Super in their civvies. The HUD in her goggles is good for that kind of things, and it's continually scanning the area for unusual activity.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

About 15 miles away from the

About 15 miles away from the explotion Jorortis and Jourgun where harrasing some street thugs into giving them there cut of the previous nights earnings. When Jorortis's built in police scanner was running wild. "Jourgun , knock these clowns out and let's go!" The cyborgs back opened up a jetpack comeing from the opening, which sent him flying towards the explotion, The half god beating the same dealers down, and jumping after him.

It took about 5 minutes for them to get infront of them bank, making sure they could be seen. The 7 foot cyborg and his 6'5 partner standing infront of the bank. Looking in at the female. "All right lady let's keep this short and sweet, I am Jorortis and this is my friend Jourgun, he is not a nice person, so let's just give it up, and find a new bank." Jorortis siad knowing it probly won't work, but it can't hurt to try.

Azoth tenses up, and taps a

Azoth tenses up, and taps a finger to the palm of her hand twice, sending the others a distress signal. Outside, the fire hydrant still spouts loudly, and likely will for some time. By this time, the other members of the team are well on their way to completing their part of the job

But she's not about to buckle in the face of these new folks, no matter how huge they are compared to her skinny, 5'3" frame, "Jorortis and Jourgun, eh?" She asks quickly, "so where do you folks fall? Heroes? Villains? something else? I can't say I've ever heard of capes with that name before. The whole terminator look says one thing, but the fact that you're warning me to get out first is sending mixed messages. Is this a protection thing? Because that'd pretty cool, but I don't think we can follow your instructions. Who's the guy who made your hardware?"

In the offices, Tinker is currently working on a computer, forcing the transferal of funds from one bank to another, and another, and so on as to make it untraceable. When her HUD beeps, she mutters a curse, and a long wire coming from the bottom of her coat disconnects from the front of the computer. That'll have to do. She stands and peeks out into the lobby of the bank, hopefully out of sight of whomever just decided to crash the party.

Sapphire, on the other hand, is just finishing collecting a few of the deposit boxes. they float in the water she's collected around herself, and presumably they can unlock them later. When her ear-bud beeps under the wetsuit beeps, she just sighs, and begins collecting water in the lobby. The pair of cyborgs may begin feeling the water trickling up their legs. It's not a slow thing, but neither is it quick.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

She would first notice the

She would first notice the bigger one, who was built like a tank, 7 feet tall and about 800 pounds his sleavless shirt exposing a large metalic right arm and a tatooed left, his skin showed that he was an african american and he had a hood conneced to the top and black pants with white trim combat boots to match.

Then after that there was the other male, he was not a cyborg but he was big aswell, only slightly more lean with olif skin, his uniform matching the larger males, only he had a mace on his back and his hair was a long mohawk, and some kind of kilt that was black and red.

"Where do we stand....Hmm where do we stand Jorortis?" Jourgun looked at his friend. "We like money..don't care how we get it its mainly merc work, heroes for hire, so who might you be?" They both looked down feeling the slight tickle of water on them." The hell..." The mace weilding half god said.

"Now that's cute" the young

"Now that's cute" the young woman says, a mocking tone, "So, what? You'd just let us walk out after all this? Make a show of force, scare the new kids on the block into submission, is that it? 'Cause I dunno about you, but that doesn't really do it for me." She moves two steps back, swishing her terrible cape as if it's impressive, "here's the thing you may have failed to realize; we're not stupid. We planned this out pretty hard, while leaving enough wiggle room to go off script as we needed to. See this? I know you can't leave it be - We've had a good five minutes to do what we needed to. Five Minutes. If we were a bit more experienced with bank infrastructure, perhaps we could have shaved it down to three minutes. We already got what we wanted."

"Oh, and that water? That'd be a little of what my teammate was doing while we were chatting each other up. You know the pipe systems run through the entire city? It's pretty cool. Gets water to every tap in every apartment building. There's always clean water flowing and, if you didn't realize, there's certainly an abundance of that outside. We had a plan for if someone showed up to try and stop us, and you walked right into it."

And then the windows of the front of the building explode, water from the destroyed fire hydrant pouring into the building. The water on their legs has a simple purpose - hold them in place as the sudden torrent pushes them together, attempting to form a bubble around the pair, with all the glass from the windows pointed inward towards them. Assuming this bubble of water catches them, the glass will be pointed in towards the pair, such that if they move, they'll lacerate themselves. Of course, it'll also be extremely difficult to move given the pressure of the water Sapphire will be forcing on them. The girl in the stylized wetsuit and goalie mask steps out from the vault, carrying no less than five safety deposit boxes that had been extracted from the walls by force. Her entire body is covered in a thing layer of water, and a large bubble of it is pooled around her feet.

And if that wasn't enough our third and final lady will be coming out of the bank offices. Her expression is unreadable behind that tinted visor, though the HUD clearly indicates two targets. She'll draw a baton off the small of her back, extend it, and adjust a setting on the handle in the space of a second, before sticking the tip into the water pooled at her feet - said baton is a stun baton, and will send a surge of electricity (Meant to stun a normal person, not kill). Perhaps it'll be effective, perhaps it won't, but it should hurt regardless. Strangely, the electricity won't travel towards any of the civilians, and won't shock Azoth or Sapphire.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

Being the most level head of

Being the most level head of the two, meant that Jorortis was just barely able to get of reach of the water torrent, Jourgun on the other hand was trapped like a a rat, clumsily tossing and yanking his body around in an attempt to break himself free, then out came the glass that sailed toward the two of them, Jorortis held up his metallic arm reached out to his friend surrounding him in a crimson bubble of his own, protecting him, as he himself got out of the way.

"That should keep the glass away from you I just hope to god that pressure wont destroy the field." He looked up as he saw another female with a baton, and shocked the water, the current went around the field that was around Jourgun and gave him a bit of a shock but nothing to extreme.

"How many of you are there?" Jorortis scanned the bank, and raised his metallic arm again, this time he had a pointed fist aimed at the baton wielder, seeing how she seemed to control the water. and fired off a blast of white heat energy, that surrounded a black core , that would explode on impact of what ever it hit.

If that failed and she dodged it, he would launch forward with an assisted rocket pack jump toward them.

((You may be misunderstanding

((You may be misunderstanding, sorry. The glass is being controlled by the water; it's not flaoting in the air or anything, so only Jourgun will have had to deal with the glass. Anyways, you don't really have to change anything, just clarifying))

As it turns out, the girl the baton doesn't need to dodge the blast - instead, a surge of water comes up to block it, and the bolt should explode without coming into contact with anybody. In fact, the water will be creating a shield from the explosion for the hostages as well - don't want to drag in unnecessary problems.

Before Jorortis can strike out a a second time at Tinker, though, He'll be having to deal with Azoth, the girl he was chatting with before, as she sends a haymaker right into the side of his face at superhuman speed. It's also a cybernetics assisted arm, so it'll likely hit harder than a girl her size should really be capable of punching too. If after that, he can still make his rocket-pack attack, Tinker will move quickly, getting out of the way, her HUD predicting movements and giving her enough warning to move out of the way of strikes.

Sapphire has her hands mostly full keeping Jourgun contained. He should still be able to breathe inside the bubble of water, strangely, but he'll be locked up by Sapphire. If he's quick, he may recognize that shielding Tinker took too much effort to keep him fully contained, so he'll have a split second chance to try and escape. If he doesn't take it, however, he'll be stuck in the bubble.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

One of the hostages was

One of the hostages was having the time of his life. Well for that week anyway he been around a long time and had many names. For now he was Joshua Bassarab in the underworld he was known as the Sandman, owner of the Grayson tower and quite loony in his way. "Seems the new girls got their act together." He said as he shifted a bit to watch also to hit the trigger on the wrist mounted holsters for some of his compounds.

What he was doing in the Bank at the time was simple. He had an account there and was going to withdraw some.

The punch caused Jorortis to

The punch caused Jorortis to duck downward as the punch came, he could calculate movements to, just not to the degree of the other, but it was a big enough window for his large hand to grab onto the calf of Azoth yanking her in the same direction he was going, through the bank wall. Tinker just barely making it out of the way of his massive frame tugging the cybernetic female along, Just barely blowing past the man in there to withdraw the money.

Jourgun noticed that the female was distracted with helping the other, and ran shoulder first into the bubble and forced himself through it, with a cough, his mace, being pulled from his back as he ran for the main source of the water, the fire hydrant, dodging the shards of glass, if sapphire chose to use them to attack him.

Azoth is grabbed, unable to

Azoth is grabbed, unable to withdraw her hand in time to escape. As she's dragged legs first, she starts kicking at Jorortis' arm at blinding speed. Her legs are cybernetically enhanced too, and can put out a lot of power - Several kicks a second, each stronger than a human being should be capable of. His hand may be able to take a few shots like that, but I doubt it can survive a barrage. Azoth, of course, will still end up dragged through the wall, covering her head with her arms

"K- Sapphire, Handle mace boy! I'll help Azoth," Tinker yells out, and Sapphire nods, moving toward the entrance.

The problem with destroying the fire hydrant is really the fact that it's already broken - the top came off and it's spurting water everywhere rapidly, flooding the street. Sapphire, of course, being an aquakinetic finds this to be a playground for her, and soon all the flood waters are coalescing into a single huge ball. The point of all this isn't to kill, to drown, or anything like that. It's containment, which can end up far easier than outright killing someone, given the right circumstances. More water will chase after Jourgun, intending to add to his watery prison and hold him there.

Tinker on the other hand, is chasing after Azoth and Jorordis. She'll leave out through the wall the pair took out to the back of the building, where she'll extend her shock baton and attempt to strike Jorordis with it. She doesn't doubt that his cybernetics are EMP hardened, but his human parts should still be vulnerable.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

Jourgun had the difficult

Jourgun had the difficult task of beating the aquakinetic, even through he had barely any kinds of attacks to do from a distance, it seemed he a Jorortis had picked the wrong people to fight, and they really needed to switch dance partners, but how would they go about doing that Jourgun changed directions, and charged towards the one called Sapphire, his eyes turning red as he coated himself in red hot revenge, it had no earth temperature per se. but it was godly hot, hot enough to heat up any water that touched him into steam almost instantly hoping he could keep it up long enough to reach Sapphire ,and throw a crippling punch to her stomach if he indeed made it to her.

Jorortis was not having as much trouble, but it was a challenge, as he took as much of those kick as he could, and threw her as hard as he could away from him aim directly toward the hard ground. He landed beside her just in time to fell the stinging of the baton to his shoulder, causing him to frown up and swing a back hand at her just to create separation.

Azoth twists like a cat in

Azoth twists like a cat in midair, and somehow manages to land on all fours, though she goes sprawling and sliding across the parking lot when her foot catches on her low quality cape, tearing it off her neck. It's not a pleasant experience, but she'll hit a car at high speed, knocking her head against it. End result, she's unconscious against a car, and her cape is is halfway between her and Jorortis on the ground, leaving Tinker alone to fight the behemoth.

Her motion predictor is a good thing in a situation like this, though, as it lets her duck the big cyborg's blow. Her HUD is showing an alert, likely about Azoth's condition, but she has the larger problem of Jorortis to deal with. She's not a terribly skilled fighter, but you don't need to be when you can predict what your opponent is about to do, you don't need to be. She'll aim a quick pair of strikes towards Jorortis's knees - the physical blows won't hurt, I'm certain, as she's striking with the power of a normal girl. No super strength here. However, she also happens to be seriously cranking up the output of the electricity - these quick jabs are meant to deliver the electricity, rather than do physical damage, and then she's already moving away from a perceived counterstrike.

Sapphire, on the other hand, is having a bit of a difficult time. Jourgun is effectively countering her power there, so she gives up on trying to contain him with and instead resorts to simply dodging him completely. The water all over her body moves her very fast, and given he has to charge, she'll likely be able to entirely evade Jourgun. She maintains her distance, however, keeping at least a little water on him - surely he can't keep up that heat aura forever, so she keeps pressing him, forcing him to use up more energy than he might want to. Water continues to flow into the room from the fire hydrant outside, covering the floor. This is rapidly becoming more and more of the aquakinetic's field.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

To Jorortis, the punches from

To Jorortis, the punches from a normal human would feel like throwing grapes at a tank, but the speed of the punches along with the electric shocks, it felt like a bunch of sharp jolts into his legs and body, almost sending him to a knee, where he caught a punch to the chest, he needed help and quick.

Jourgun was not using the thermal energy over his body to attack Sapphire but to get away from her, and he saw her moving away from him a Golden chance and took it, leaping to where he saw Jorortis bring the other two females, just in time to see Jorortis getting the tar beat out of him by some chick in a makeshift costume,

As a double whammy the aura that he had around him had died down, no mater, he could help his friend out, by providing a distraction, throwing his Mace as hard as he could at Tinker whether it hits her or not, it will end up spinning back into his hand, by way of god magic. "TAG OUT!" Jourgun shouted as he leaps down in Jorortis's place ready to fight the girl with the baton.

Jorortis on the other hand used his rocket pack to fly where Jourgun had just come from, not landing in the water, but holding out his arm and blasting it with an energized form of air, much colder then liquid nitrogen, freezing what he can before attempting to fight Sapphire.

Tinker barely manages to move

Tinker barely manages to move out of the way of the mace - she seems surprised by the sudden change in tactics, but it's hard to tell behind that motorcycle helmet, "So, you wanna play too?" Tinker says, a hint of amusement in her voice, "I was hoping I could finish with the big guy first, but you'll do nicely too." It's grandstanding, really. A trained warrior can see from her stance that she's nervous, and inexperienced. She has lots of tricks, but she's not a great fighter at the end of the day. Tinker realizes this, and thinks maybe she should take a few martial arts lessons - for now, though, she's in a real fight.

Jorortis' blast of cold will be met with a sudden surge of water, building a wall of ice instead of simply freezing the ground. He's going to have to chip through that if he wants to take on Sapphire. Of course, he can hear rushing water from the other side, but it's unclear what the aquakinetic is doing.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

Jourgun looked at he female

Jourgun looked at he female with her awkward stance and puts his mace onto his back, slowly backing up towards the female who lay unconscious, and grabbing up the cheap cape in is left hand, spinning it around in a circle in front of him, hoping all the extra movement would confuse her, or what ever it was that aided her in battle, because he can tell from her stance that she was not able to dodge his mace from skill alone.

"I can keep this up all day!" Jorotis blasted the water with the cooling air, freezing it, then with his heated beam, turning it to vapor that was about 160 degrees Celsius making it practically useless to the aquakinetic.

When Jorortis gets through

When Jorortis gets through the barrier of ice, he'll find something wrong - specifically, Sapphire is gone. She used the distraction of the pair of heroes swapping out to to escape, rather than prepare an attack.

Tinker stands warily, unsure of what to make of the cape movements. Her HUD is giving her mixed signals about it, and she rapidly adjusts the program to compensate. To Jourgun, it'll look like she's standing still, unable or unwilling to act.

One can still hear the rushing of water, but that might just be the fire hydrant out in front of the building.

Jorotis gave out a sigh,

Jorotis gave out a sigh, looking about seeing how Sapphire was missing, and started his jet pack back up, gliding and still freezing as much of the water he could find, making his way to the fire hydrant and blasting that until it was nothing more then a sculpture, and the water turned to solid ice.

Jourgun tossed the cape at tinker, so that it was like a sheet, flying towards her, before setting up a mock charge to the left, but going right, with a powerful, but quick jab, that would be followed by two weaker but quicker left jabs and a roundhouse kick, if the punches where not successful, all this happened as soon as the cape was from his hand as he got to her at a shocking speed.

The fire hydrant is frozen!

The fire hydrant is frozen! Yaaaaaaaaay. No more giving an aquakinetic ammo.

Tinker, between trying to recalibrate her motion predictor and being inexperienced, will only have a split second to react - in which she turns the wrong way. Jourgun's kick will catch her in the back and send her sprawling onto the pavement of the parking lot.

And then, Jourgun will likely find himself drenched. Again.

Sapphire, rather than pausing to take down the cyborg, started to enact the team's escape plan. She took all her water and crossed over the top of the building rather than through, and now the mass of water is crashing over her injured teammates. It'll pick them up, and then Jougun will find that the water recedes of its own volition, following the one commanding it and the two girls she has in tow... and a surprising number of safety deposit boxes. She'll move down the street, down alleyways - a person with a knowledge of directions will realize she's heading in the direction of one of the city's many rivers

"And that why I don't do capes." He was now standing up and moved to lean against a wall. In his hand he was twirling a small vile. "looks like those two fellows might be a bit much for you ladies."

Jorortis jet pack started,

Jorortis jet pack started, raising up and lifting him off the ground causing him to look over at Jourgun."Lets go!" Only for Jourgun to look at him with a confused expression. "We don't have time, just come on!" Jorotis said as he picked Jorgun up under his arms , and started to fly off, holding Jourgun in the process, causing the demigod to let out a sigh. "This is so embarrassing.."

"Looks like they are headed toward the river, not a good place to be fighting a water controller!" Jorortis had to yell in order for Jourgun to hear him. "Don't you mean aquakinetic Jorortis?" The demigod yelled back.

"Shut up, before I drop you." They continued to follow the trio by air.

Sapphire's water is moving

Sapphire's water is moving fast. Very fast. Perhaps a speedster would be able to catch her, but as it stands most would be hard pressed to keep up with the surge of water she's controlling, and she's heading straight for the area that favors her abilities the most. If the pair want to try something, they'll have to try it quick

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

Things was moving faster than Sandman could follow. Laughing he tucked the vial back into it's holster and waited for the cops to arrive like a good citizen. "Those three have potential, wonder how long they can avoid the slammer." He said softly to himself.

Jorortis kicked it into high

Jorortis kicked it into high gear as he created a sonic boom, thank god for Jourgun's demigod background so he took it stride. Seeing how time was almost up for them The cyborg tossed his friend directly at the group, who in turn used his heating aura to evaporate much of the water as he looked to cut the head off this snake, Sapphire, was who he dive bombed for.

Over one of the frequencies

Over one of the frequencies used by "citizens aiding law enforcement officers", a voice with a pronounced Georgia drawl announced, "Ah've spotted them. Suhfing down Clahk to'ahds Brant Creek. Two moah following with a jetpack."

The source of this transmission was a woman with what looked like a jet pack, but there was no obvious jet, unless you could see the waste heat or the tachyons that were the reaction mass. She wore what looked like pulp era aviation goggles, and held in her right hand an odd weapon. As she closed to within a hundred meters of Sapphire, she took up the trigger slack. The aiming laser hit the wave in front of the robber, illuminating the condensing vapor, giving perhaps a half second of warning before the aim was corrected and small lightning bolt (about the energy of a standard taser) would ride the ionized path into Saphire's back...

Just before Jourgun hits the

Just before Jourgun hits the the water with his blazing aura and Georgia fires her bolt, the entire torrent turns to the right, choosing to go down another street, before turning again and heading towards the river. If Jourgun is watching he may realize what happened - Tinker is waving to him. Her motion predictor is still active! She must have warned Sapphire!

They're very close to the river now. I don't believe Jourgun has the speed to catch them at their current pace - maybe Jorortis does, but he'd be on his own if he didn't swing down to pick up his buddy, which would give the girls times to escape again. Choices choices!

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

"God I hate that woman."

"God I hate that woman." Jorortis Grumbled as he flew after the females, His hands being free meant he could prepare some things as the sped through the sky, cranking down the temperature on his freezing blasts, as well as the heat on his heat beams, trying to slow them down anyway possible, firing the ice beams firsts, hoping to freeze them as he could keep up, or he heat blasts to evaporate the water they was escaping in.

Jourgun on the other hand is falling, he know that he is going to fall and pulled his mace from his back, and threw it at the flying torrent, hoping to at least clip one of the females before falling about 2 feet into an apartment building. "I'm going to join back up in a bit, I need a new game plan."

Tinker Belle - she wasn't yet

[url=http://cityoftitans.com/comment/49478#comment-49478] Tinker Belle [/url]- she wasn't yet aware of the similar name in use by one of the robbers - twitched the blaster a bit too far as the torrent turned aside, and the charge disappated through the water to the ground. She went to rapid fire, trying to put enough blasts out that they couldn't be dodged...

The flying mace strikes

The flying mace strikes Sapphire in the leg, and one can see her cry out in pain, though it's muffled by the water. She's a determined girl, though, so hurt leg or not, She moves forward. It's sapping her concentration though, and the whole torrent of water slows down.

That isn't to say it's going slowly, and that doesn't mean they're easy targets to hit now. In particular Tinker - also unaware of the similarly named hero - is extending her hands upward, her palms glowing. The reason becomes clear when the first of the hero's blasts strike an invisible dome - her palms have force-field projectors on them. low grade, so they probably couldn't withstand a kinetic impact, but cold, heat, and electricity? Oh certainly.

The river is in sight now. They would have made it there this round if not for Sapphire's injury, but nothing short of outright taking down Sapphire will stop them now.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

"God I hate doing this, but

"God I hate doing this, but hey, desperate times." Went through Jorortis is head, as the red in his eyes turned black, and they somehow managed to glow even though they had no color, his body was allowing the machine to take over for the most part.

His metal arm was raised and locked into place as the orange and red thrusters kicked into hyper drive, causing him to gain on them, close enough that he could kick one of those safety deposit boxes, and he moved out of sight of Tink, and Blasted a wave of black concussive energy that would feel like getting hit by a dump truck going 100 mph, directly at Sapphire There was no heat ,no cold, just brute force, and deadly accuracy.

Jourgun could be seen running at his top speed of 60 mph towards the fight knowing that it would take a while before he even got there.

"Looks like the boys ahn't on the same team as the gals. And one of the gals has a fohce field." Tinker Belle touched the left side of her goggles and scanned the force field.

"Roger that, Tink. Found the guys on CapeChaser, Jourgun and Jorortis, not much beyond that. Nothing on the girls yet." This voice, if anyone was listening, was also a woman, with a southwestern flavor to her accent.

"Whoah!" Tinker Belle pulled up as Jorortis dropped his concussion wave...

Something will happen that

Something will happen that Jorortis attempts this. It's a matter of the malleability of the water, but when the concussion wave hits the water, it'll break.

Give me a moment to explain what happened here. In the example for the power of the concussive wave there, the concussive wave would hit the water with the power of a dump truck at high speeds. Something like that would have been pretty much the end of our new villains. However, that would have been because of the intertia of the object hitting the water carrying it through, something that Sapphire can't do anything about, and Tinker would be hard pressed to counter with her meager forcefields (really need to upgrade those).

Instead, the Concussive wave is stopped because while it has kinetic energy, it has no inertia. So when it hits the pressurized water, the water hits back in an attempt to defend the people inside. Tinker, in panic, also extends her hands towards the blast wave. The combined effect of the weak forcefields and the water leeching the kinetic energy from the attack.

This isn't to say the villain team is unscathed. That was a lot of pressure the water had to absorb, and while it can pressurize and depressurize at Sapphire's whim, it's not so quick that she could muffle the entire thing. The girls will go careening into the water, their bodies likely covered by a single massive bruise. Strangely, however, when they reach the river, they actually pick up speed. The waters begin to muddy as well - it would appear the group of supervillains isn't aiming to stay and fight, but rather make good on a complete getaway.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

Jorortis didn't even sound

Jorortis didn't even sound the same after that it sounded more like a computer poorly spliced with a human voice." They are gone now, where they went I can not identify." He glided back down and folded his arms, his colors slowly going back to normal. just in time for Jourgun to run up beside him and tap him on the shoulder.

"There gone?" Jourgun slid his hand down his face. "We still getting paid right?" He asked his cyborg friend.

Tinker Belle watched as the robbers washed into the river. She drew her launch pistol, loaded a sonar-equipped probe into the muzzle, and fired it into the river.

She didn't really expect it to last long enough to follow the robbers to their lair, but it had to be tried. And there was no way she'd follow a hydrokine into water without a lot more than the low-profile buckyweave armor she was currently wearing.

The sonar tracker will be

The sonar tracker will be able to tell where they are fairly quickly, but it's a fuzzy thing due to all the mud that's been kicked up. One thing it should be able to note, however, is that the girls are treading underwater in an odd way - each of them has a small bubble of air around their heads to allow them to breathe beneath the water, something of a clever application. If the probe follows them, it'll be fairly clear what direction they're headed in too - down towards the bay. The question, of course, becomes 'why are they going towards the bay?' Perhaps their lair is there. Perhaps not. The three of them are saying things to each other that the sonar may be able to pick up, but unfortunately it's so garbled by going from air to water and through mud that it's next to impossible for the probe to understand. Reasonably they shouldn't be able to hear each other, but as a gadgeteer, Tinker Belle will probably understand they're using earpieces.

"I told you the cape was a bad idea." Tinker says to Azoth, "Entire reason I was fighting the cyborg alone, and why the mace guy was able to fight me."

"But I looked so good in it!" she says back, waving empathically, "It's-"

"NO. NO CAPES."

Sapphire simply laughs, still high on adrenlaine. They'll be hurting in the morning, but they made it away with everything - the deposit boxes, the bank's electronic funds, and no long lasting injuries. Sure, they all took a few hits, but who's in this business didn't?

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

The probe, guided remotely by Tinker Belle, followed the robbers on the surface. Tinker Belle followed the probe from the air. When the probe lost contact, because of speed and depth, she swooped down to pick it up. Perhaps [font=lucida bright]AIko[/font] could tell what they had said to each other.

"Lost 'em, Duchess. Got the last known position and vectah, foah next time. See you back at the site."

"Roger that, pilgrim."

About an hour later, the

About an hour later, the three girls crawl out of the bay and up onto the beach. They're all exhausted, and Sapphire needs support to walk. They prepared this little spot with a change of clothes, given the escape plan they eventually went with required them all to get their costumes drenched. As they're changing back into civvies, Tinker says, "we did it. All the money, all the boxes we came in for, everything. I don't think that could have gone better for us, given the circumstances." Tinker is a slim girl, plain featured. She bears freckles, wavy red hair, and a pair of large round glasses. her body is kinda scrawny, and she has no real curves to show off, even without the biking leathers concealing her.

"I get that Erin, but I hope you know I'm still going to sleep for a week." Sapphire, or Kyra, says, "That ass with the mace really did a number on my leg." She's perhaps the most conventionally attractive of the three - her body is curvy, the sort a model might like to have, and her features are the sort one might call beautiful. Her brown hair is short, however, and her expression is severe.

"Yes, we know. You're pretty heavy." Azoth says, "We'll just get the med droid to take a look at it." Azoth A.K.A. Sam, is the youngest of the three at eighteen years old. She hides her cybernetic limbs with long pants, gloves, a sweater, and heavy boots. She has an athletic build, wiry, "Erin, I know you wanted to see your mom, but I think we should get some sleep first. Maybe these bigass bruises will go away after some rest, and we can't have doctors asking what happened."

Erin rubs her head, "Yeah, you're right. Let's get some sleep." she reaches into a pocket and pulls out a small controller, clicks a button on it, and a wooden platform raises out of the sand, "Whenever I see that it's wood, I feel like an idiot. First thing I'm buying, enough metal for my projects."

As they all step onto the platform, "Dad should have everything you need at the junkyard." Sam says, going through calibrations for the limbs that were damaged in the fighting.

And then the platform descends into the sand.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

Back at the bank Joshua was

Back at the bank Joshua was done with the annoying interview from the TPD and headed out his eyes cast down at the still drying water. He knelt down just a moment to scoop up a stray wet hair. "now I wonder if you belong to one of those interesting young ladies?" Then he was walking away humming a tune. Of course he would need to visit a magic store to get what he needed for a scurrying, maybe hire someone. Alchemists skills he has isn't the best when it comes to scurrying.

The duo of cyborg and demigod

The duo of cyborg and demigod were walking up the street back toward the bank, most of the water that had been frozen by Jorortis, was starting to drip, but it still had a long while before it would become liquid again. "Hey you bank guy, where is the money from all the crap we just went through, nothing less then 20,000 for each of us." Jourgun stated as he popped some dislocated joints back into place, mainly his shoulder and wrist.

The bank teller had the most shocked expression on his face, and could barely get his words out. "M-m-mo-most of it is g-g-gone!" Jourgun raised an eyebrow and looked at him again mocking him this time."Y--you have a w-w-wallet right? you have to buy all that high dollar jewelry some how." He simply extended his hand for the cash and jewelry, taking 3 hundreds, and $50,000 worth of rings and a watch.

"Here you go big guy, you get more then me today for having to do that again." He was referring to when Jorortis has to almost go full auto on the females. Placing $25,000 worth of the jewelry and the three hundred dollar bills into his cybernetic hand. "HAVE A NICE DAY!" Jourgun said as they walked out of the bank.

Geist sighed having had to

Geist sighed having had to sit in the wall this whole time, once the heat had died down, watching the crass Americans shake down citizens, smash walls, and cause property damage. how very typical, she on the other hand was holding a folder, information, that was the ticket to true wealth and power. big corporations, insider trading, it had destroyed her fathers business, and these powers were the best method of revenge. the data in this folder would sell for thousands of euro...dollars, she stopped herself, and cost the company it belonged to hundreds of times more. her father had insisted she never use these powers, he called it unnatural, unholy, or just plain unclean. he wasn't here anymore the stress and people like the owners of this folder had seen to that. his death however was the birthday of Geist. she phased through the back of the bank and into and ally, dressed in a grey morph suit (something she felt was rather clever, skin tight as to not get stuck on things, hides your identity rather well, and costs only forty US dollars). she walked over to a box she had placed slipping on a long coat putting on some shoes and placing the folder inside the jacket, she walked a bit away from the bank using the allies before tugging her mask down, pausing to look around and then stepping out onto the busy street a few blocks away.

The Duo was laying around in separate recliner chairs, some hip hop instrumentals playing in the background as they relaxed there bodies recovering from the fight earlier.the half god breaking the silence. "Big guy I am going to say it, we got our asses kicked by a bunch of girls.''...Jourgun noticed the silence and continued.."That damn chick with the water...she is mine next time-'' Jorortis interrupted his friend."Logically that would be dumb, you have practically no ranged att-" Jourgun butted in." To hell with logic she is mine next time." Jorortis simply shrugged, calibrating something on his wrist.

Geist sat in her hotel room

Geist sat in her hotel room and sighed looking at the small map case with money stuffed in it "I really thought ten thousand dollars would be in like a big silver suitcase" she mused as she laid on her temporary bed in her temporary domicile still dressed in the morph suit having just got back from the trade. The good thing about white collar criminals is the small chance of them shooting you in the face and screwing up the hand off. So far her life of "crime" was paying off rather well and she started to go over several print out kicking her legs some, tapping at her laptop and watching the market. scoping through the business world looking for someone to approach, something to appear, an opportunity to get more work in...she smiled to herself thinking this was really rather fun!
