Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

Streaking after the Anemiator

Streaking after the Anemiator, before he could further attack Herald/Persona, would stun him with a blinding flash, before presumably knocking him away with a spinning backhand. Before further assaulting him, her eyes would glow fiercly as she would shout...

"Not before you do, monster!"

With that, not giving him time to recover, she would form a spear of solar energy, before leaping into the air and landing on him, impaling the weapon through his heart with the force of a semi truck...hopefully ending his threat...

Pulling back, she would suddenly collapse to her knees, realizing what she had done...

Shepherd was surprised at how

Shepherd was surprised at how quickly Lady Nova reacted after he launched the crossblades. He understood how she felt. She wasn't equipped for this kind of work like he was. He put his hand o his teamate's shoulder letting her know it was ok.

Amerikatt stared in both

Amerikatt stared in both horror and fascination at the creature claiming to be a vampire.

She had never seen an actual vampire, but her Human sidekick liked to read stories to her about vampires and other spooky stuff, and they used to watch things together on a funny box with moving pictures.

Her friend Chester introduced her to his housemate, a cute white rabbit with a big black spot which ran over his head and down his back like a cape. Chester tried to convince her that Bunny was a vampire. He said that Bunny slept all day and prowled all night.

Who doesn't? Amerikatt thought.

She thought she'd have some fun with Chester.

"According to all the most reliable literature," Amerikatt said, knowing that Chester was well-read, "a vampire's victims rise up after three days. You haven't happened to see any zombie vegetables wandering around, have you?" She played her part to the hilt and shifted her head side-to-side, as if looking at something behind her friend.

The expression on Chester's face had been priceless. Of course, he had been high-strung for as long as she had known him.

Amerikatt fondly thought back to her friends, the butterflies and bees with whom she often frolicked, and to one bee in particular, whom she called "Buzz". Buzz was rather a sweet fellow, quite shy and always getting badmouthed by the other boy bees because he was something of a bumbler, a bit chubby (What bees aren't? Amerikatt had thought at the time), and buzzed with a lisp. She had really enjoyed their chats, and it was Buzz who told her that bees could see in ultraviolet light. Under Buzz's tutelage, Amerikatt learned to shift her sight into the ultraviolet range of the spectrum, and the two of them spent lots of time together, admiring many flowering plants.

Amerikatt remembered Buzz's lessons now as she faced the "vampire" at the museum. She was going to try something she had never done before, and she hoped that it worked.

Concentrating on shifting her vision into the ultraviolet, she then tried to modify her normally-golden eyebeams.

Staring intensely at the "vampire", Amerikatt's golden eyes turned purple and, although she could feel a release of energy, she did not see her forcebeams being unleashed.

Long moments passed, then she watched in amazement as the "vampire" staggered back as he was struck by the invisible force.

If everything goes right, he should start smoking now, Amerikatt thought.

Limping, exhausted with the

Limping, exhausted with the effects of the 'pep' wearing thin, Rose concentrates harder than ever on the card in her hand. It shimmers faintly in a slight pulse before exploding in her hand. As the card vanishes in the silent blast of light, balls of energy bound toward the others in the room, more of the golden rune-web shields form around them in egg-like shapes.

This accomplished, she makes her way to a convenient clump of shrubbery and collapses, her nose, eyes and ears now leaking blood.

Awaking suddenly from her shocked stupor as she hears the thud of Rose's body hitting the ground, she would rush to her without a second though, and begin to mildly heal the girl...

"Come on...wake up..."

If she were able to see what

If she were able to see what's wrong inside a body, she'd notice a slowly-healing hemorrhaging of the brain, and general exhaustion. A piece of her is tied to the cards that are now scattered by her limp hand. She won't die while the fight is finished, but she'll be hella thrashed. Clearly under-trained, and unready for a fight of this length and nature, but damn if she didn't try!

With the mild healing helping her own body's resources along, she'd begin to stir, groaning softly.

"Mmnh... my ... head ... th' hell... happen?" slurring her speech as if drunk, she might be understood... a little...

Lady Nova would let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, as she gently tells her...

"We managed to take down the Anemiator, and his minions, thanks to you, no doubt....let's get you proper treatment before anything...."

With that, she would begin to escort Rose to medical personnel...

Rotten looked around then to where Anemiator once stood. "Okay now the hard part figuring what the hell just happened. What did this guy wanted so much he unearthed an entire Cemetery? Is that magical amulet thing dangerous? Damn I hate using my brains." At that point he put the last hotdog from the pack into his mouth. "Come to think about it did stopping him stop those undead?"

"I d-did... what I could.."

"I d-did... what I could.." she gives an almost little-girl-given-a-present smile, "..you guys are... better..."

A soft chuckle begins to make its way out, but stopped as she winces, and follows where Lady Nova leads her.

With the threat of the Nasty One seemingly resolved, Amerikatt speeds after Tarot Rose in a blur of purple and pink, then bathes her in the soothingly warm Sacred Flame, healing her and undoing any sort of ickiness!

He looking around then went to where the remains of a ghost was and knelt down. A sigh of relief escaped him as he stands then he left with Lady Nova and Rose. Then nodded to Amerikatt "Glowbug right, all it takes for Evil to win is for good people to do nothing. You did something."

As the group exited the

As the group exited the Conservatory, they'd see Overdrive on the steps leading to the main entrance. He was chugging on a 12 ounce foil-wrapped packet of fluid, with two empty ones already sitting by his left foot, and two more full ones by his right foot.

He took a moment from drinking to eyeball the haggard group. "Dang. Ya'll look terruhble. Sorry ah didn't make it in there. Ah was so busy fightin', ah didn't even notice when ya'll left. And then ah had ta rescue some civilians that were cornered by sum zombies ovuh there." He pointed towards a glassed-in vestibule with most of the windows smashed.

"But ah guess ya'll won in there. All the zombies, movin' or not, just up and turned ta piles of dust a few minutes ago."

Rose smiles at Amerikatt, and

Rose smiles at Amerikatt, and squats down to smile at her, "Thank you, my fierce friend." and stands, "And thank you, too." to Lady Nova. Her bruises blooming in reverse, her energy levels rising, even her uniform looks a little less haggard from her friends' ministrations.

"Yes, the deed has been done. Thank you for continuing the fight, sir." She gives a dazzling smile to Overdrive, and back at her new friends.

After Shepherd did his part

After Shepherd did his part he quietly teleported out of there. The other heroes had this covered, and he felt he wasn't needed. The Ghostwalker appeared at the park by Phoenix Plaza where he sat on a bench. He spent more time alone since arriving at his new reality. now that is memory had returned, he began to think about his home on Darkside Earth. that was the name the people at Portal corp gave his home back when he was in Paragon City due to all the supernatural creatures that lived there In Paragon City he had been limited to only some of his powers, mainly his regeneration, his ability to phaseshift and turn invisible and his ability to teleport along wit hi Redeemer's touch. Eventhough his powers had been limited, he always managed to get by. This world though was different. though still limited, he could use more of his abilities. The Holy warrior sat there waiting for Dawn to arrive. He always enjoyed watching the sun set and rise and that was how he spent his time i the park.

With all the attacks that hit

With all the attacks that hit the Anemiator, it was Amerikatt's that knocked the villain unconscious and ready for whatever law enforcement to arrest. Persona/Herald got up from where he'd knocked her back, clutching her arm where there was an injury and took the armlet off of him.

"I'll take this from you so that the archaeologists that dug it up can catalog it," She said and placed it where the last time she saw its bag--a few desk rows over from where the fight started. By this time, both hostages had either ran out or passed out (in the case of the gay vampire loving man), but Persona knew Mariah was probably still in that bathroom outside the conservatory's door. "Sekhmet seneb," She said, casting Sekhmet's Salve on her arm as she walked back through the group of heroes and the now fading undead towards that bathroom. She'd barely finished healing herself when she found it--a family bathroom with a single stall. She knocked on the door. "Mariah, I heard from a friend of yours that you needed some help with a zombie problem."

"Who're you? Not a vampire or someone he's seduced, right?" Mariah asked through the door.

"I'm a purifier of undead, I doubt he would've been able to seduce me. You may call me The Herald," Herald said.

"I've never heard of you before. Are you a new hero?"

"Yes, at least here, I'm based out of a different city than this one and was visiting a friend here when I spotted a robbery and then your friend caught me just as I was starting to go meet with mine."

Mariah opened the door a little. "Are the zombies gone?"

"Most of them are finished, the vampire's out and the ones that weren't are fading with the removal of that armlet off the vampire."

"Good, because I'm starving," Mariah said and opened the door all the way. "Let's head out, I want to get to my car so I can call Amethyst back and say thank you."

"Of course." Herald said and escorted her out of the building to her car before flying off to Phoenix square. In a hidden nook, she asked Will you need me anymore this time around?

I don't believe so, Persona thought. If I need anyone else within the next 2 hours, I'll call Psycat or Rei.

Herald nodded and placed her hand on the back of her left hip. "This mask's task is done, O Weret-Hekau, show the face once again." A slight shimmer happened and Persona was back to being herself, without anyone in her head. At that point her phone rang and she answered Mariah's call, ignoring whatever else was going on in the square.

A few months later....

Ron 'Rotten Luck' Bolton walked along the street dressed in blue jeans, his work boots, white tank top, and black sleeveless trench coat. Of course what makes him stick out in a crowd is the fact he's dead and looks mummified. He glances back to those following him "Keep an eye out Jeremy, get the feel of the street if ya can ya noticed the things that are not quite right."

A ripple of heated air

A ripple of heated air surrounded Flashpoint as she floated along with the group. "So this is a rookie run, eh? Don't take offense to the rookie remarks, Jeremy. We've all got to start somewhere. Just the fact that you're willing to get out here and use your abilities to help others shows that you've already got the heart of a hero."

Jeremy looked around, still

Jeremy looked around, still deflecting interests to check out the robbery at Ludo's. Flashpoint was new to him, but he cringed at labeling, "N-no no no... I'm not... there's no heart of a hero or any other part of me that's heroic. So, ...no."

It was a bustling late morning, with much of the Saturday traffic at the grand plaza beginning to peak already. "Look all I really see is, well, uh, hmm... looks like a lot of people are shopping, the free-runners are headed to the jump park, skaters are headed to the other side. Wait is ...Oh that'll be fun to watch: he's tripping balls! ...OK yeah most of that is obvious."

Jeremy furrowed his brow and continued to scan the park. He gave a heavy sigh as he reviewed what he saw, "Um... so, I see a couple of people on their cell phones, tons more with their nose pressed to one. There's some shoppers, more people headed to the park. I.. I admit, I don't really see anything out of sorts or suspicious here."

Ron motions to a fellow by an alleyway with his cell. "Look at that fellow notice how he stopped when talking on the cell, notice how he glancing at the fellow walking with his head down and hands in his pockets. I bet you my T.V. that a mugging about to happen. The guy with his head down not really wealthy, but not poor judging by his new name brand shoes. Perhaps he got dumped. At the same time he's not ultra wealthy so chances of him having a gun on him is lower. The fellow by the alleyway thinking the same thing. Take a look at how he's dressed. Faded jeans worn at the heel, acting a tad nervous by how he glancing about. That cell I bet isn't even turned on it's just an excuse to stop walking."

"Ya might be right. Then again he could be like you, just starting to understand his powers and afraid it could cause trouble. Well I'm off to defuse this issue." With that he turned and walked into a portal and behind the Mugger "Hay bud got a light?" The mugger spun around looking at Ron with fear and surprise. "Hey I know ya don't I owe ya money?" "Um no you don't." "Sure I do I always repay a debt." With that he handed over a hundred to the guy. "Beats mugging random folks, when capes are nearby. Try the soup kitchen if ya in a bit of a bind they often have job ads posted and would help ya get one." With that he walked back through the portal back to where the others are.

"There always more than one way to defuse a situation."

Jeremy watched the exchange incredulously. Further complicating was the next exchange between Ron and Katrina. His focus remained on their original marks. The one Ron gave money to was now on the sidewalks walking quickly and looking around at anyone suspicious. The original target was now looking back at Ron. Finally, the guy on the phone had turned to watch the one that now knowingly had money.

Jeremy was a few steps behind, taking cues from Ron and Katrina and kept his distance for a few yards. He was doing his best looking inconspicuous while he grabbed some hot dogs from a street vendor. He could still hear the exchanges, but knew to keep his distance if it got messy..

Katrina simply smiles as she whispers in the phone man's ear, with a saccharine voice.

"The act is cute, the unpowered phone is really a nice touch; now back off before you break a nail, sweetheart."

Walking up from the distance

Walking up from the distance Jorortis made his way behind the man yelling ,his frame casting quite a large shadow that was clearly visible from where the man with the phone stood and he said to him. "Or a leg , or an arm."

A flashback to all those

A flashback to all those tortured days in school rung loudly in Jeremy's memory. The sight of people grouping up against a clearly underclassed target shifted Jeremy's views of of friend and foe, attacker and defender. Thinking quickly on the options and abilities he could manage. He held up his own phone, TCPD's number clearly defined with his thumb hovering over the send button and stated, "That's enough!"

"Yeah a bit much there." He looked to the unemployment fellow "Yeah I been there don't do something stupid even if ya desperate I did and died for it. Go and try to get ya unemployment insurance If ya have troubles Parole officer Crist Parker will help ya he had connections. Just tell him it's a favor for me."

He looked off into the distance and frowned "Jeremy's right we got a problem far bigger than some second rate street crook." He motions to a rip in reality and some demonic thing crawling out of it. The beast had a head but nobody it was connected to what looked to be 8 arms.

Katrina immediately whirled

Katrina immediately whirled around at the apparent anger in Jeremy's voice, noting the look on his face and stepping back as...guilt seeps into her system? Fighting the mental feeling of bile in her throat at the new sensation, she suddenly reached into a hidden clasp bag and presented the man with a considerable amount of money, enough to make sure he didn't have to skulk in an alley as she slowly strides back to Rotten and Jeremy.

Eyeing the latter with clear hurt visible for a spare second, she perks up as the rift opens, revealing the grotesque creature as she hisses, flicking her wrists to slide her knifes into her palms.

"The ONE time I do a good deed." She mutters as she turns to the pair, inquiring.

"What's the game plan?" As she keeps her eyes warily on the beast.

"I can do that." Jorotis

"I can do that." Jorotis watched as the monster was moving and he started a pretty fast paced jog towards it. He had his metallic arm charging up ,setting it to minimum , he had his head turned as he was the point of this attacking triangle before throwing a massive hook towards some part of the beast that he could call the "body".

"Well, that's just about the

"Well, that's just about the ugliest thing I've ever seen." Flashpoint said as she hovered up into the air to float about ten feet off the ground. She slowly brought her hands together in front of her, palms facing. As they got closer, the space between her palms rippled and roiled, the disturbance growing until the air combusted with a small WOOMPH. She focused and directed the fire into a beam of incandescent flame, white at it's very center and shadint through blue out to bright orange.

The beam shot across the space between Flashpoint and the beast, then burned clean through one of its tentacles and cored a cauterized hole into the creature's abdomen. It howled in agony and tried to lash out at her, but she hovered backwards out of its range.

"Well, it doesn't like fire, so LET'S MAKE IT HOT!" she said, generating more fire in her palms.

Jorortis looked toward the beam that blasted a hole into the beasts abdomen ,and jumped high into the air , hitting the beast with his heavy boot ,dropping his metal energy engulfed arm down at a quick and brutal punch downward ,the white lightning raining down upon it.

Heat was something Jeremy

Heat was something Jeremy could accomplish. The boost of strength from the group and the adrenaline rush of imminent danger tipped his abilities into some unexpected stronger forms. Everyone nearby would sense the ionic fields making a plasma barrier around them. Moving from reactionary responses to the more proactive ones, he focused on another tentacle as he raised his hand to connect the targets with a line of ions. Within half a second, the lightning charge arced from Jeremy to the creature. The surprise of the release distracted Jeremy enough he didn't see if the lightning bolt connected or not.

The creature roared in pain as it body was blasted hands gripped a trash can and launched it at Flashpoint. Just as Rotten came up and punched the creature in the face. "Look at it's eyes this thing mad, and not in the raging green monster way. There nothing but insanity in that look."

Sure enough the creature had lost touch with whatever reality it came from. Driven by madness caused by it falling through the rip the creature leaped up and tried to bite Rotten's head. "HEY I'm the one that supposed to crave brains!"

Jorortis wrapped his tree trunk like arms around the neck of the beast ,being shaken around like a cowboy on a bucking bull or horse ,his hands clasping strongly around each other as he hung on , hoping to choke out what ever this was ,soon using his raw strength to wrestle the beast to the ground.

The beast also would quickly feel two of Katrina's wickedly sharp Karambit knives arc into it's flesh as Katrina rakes the blades through two of it's tentacles with the intention of separating them from the head, before vaulting over the creature with uncanny grace further augmented by Jeremy's ionic boost, commenting.

"It's almost as bad as a Jehovah's Witness...almost." Remarks as she reaches into her jacket, pivoting in a blur as she throws a bundle of voltaic shurkiens into the maw of the creature's maw with shocking force and precision, before shouting.

"Might want to let go!"

"Letting go easy.... It's getting Touchy Feely here to let go!" Indeed it was now seemed to be regenerating where the arms been cut off were regrowing not just one arm growing but two replacing the single one missing. Kicking himself free he rolled "That Portal that dropped this thing is closing."

Jorortis let go of the beast ,his style of combat was almost the polar opposite of that of katrinas ,he was very in your face smash mouth and showed that with his vicious punches into the beasts face over and over ,dropping both of his fists down onto the beasts head ,bringing them back up with a double uppercut ,he turned his head and looked at the arms that were coming in." Looks like a hydra to me." He jumped back dodging a swing that would have sent him reeling.

A loud crack, and the

A loud crack, and the reptilian striker appeared behind the group of heroes, perched on top of a streetlight. His own teleport rift quickly shutting behind himself. He watched for a moment with the most neutral expression one could imagine. The kind of face somebody would have if they were uninterested in a TV show, but too uncaring to change the channel. The scenario playing out was nothing foreign. A Grotesque creature being beaten down by super powered crusaders... Thoughts started whirling in the reptilian's head, but he did not act. He'd allow the heroes to finish their task.

Katrina nods before whipping out a smartphone, typing rapidly on it as she sends a dual message to Scarlet and Permafrost.

'Delivering the orb to the Arcane Sentinals. It's caused enough trouble and I will personally compensate you both for your aid in this. Though be careful, I imagine Frosty will be less then pleased with the arrangement.'

With the message sent, she noncholantly and slyly tosses the phone into a nearby trashcan without breaking stride in their continued walk.

"Well, I'm definitely getting

"Well, I'm definitely getting stronger...at least," Jeremy mumbled. He checked his hand and was surprised there wasn't a burn mark from the intensity of the blast. As the adrenaline began to settle down, he realized he had acted heroically, both protecting a potential victim and fighting off the creature. What so many had tried to explain to him in the past finally resonated: he understood what it meant to be a hero. His demeanor notably changed as a result.

The swelling confidence overcame the desire to stay away from the mess as Jeremy approached the melee. "So assuming this orb is related to yours, how soon should we expect Ragnarok?"

With her left hand gripping her right wrist underneath her thigh-length cape, she generated a fire ball in her right hand. Then she spoke up. "I hope you're not planning on trying something stupid."

The Striker glanced back at the hero taking a position against him. The fireball was kind of cute. But, what had he done so far? The Striker thought back for a moment: he appeared on top of a pole, and watched a fight against some kind of demon thing. Even so, he was in a slightly daring mood. "Maybe I am. Who knows..." He said, giving an almost mocking tone to his voice. His left hand reached over his shoulder and pointed at his back: dead in the middle of the shoulder blades where no crystaline structures would be in the flame's path. "See what happens." He added, mentally prepared for the incoming assault.

These dimensions that are opening are well, think of a fence we are on this side of it and a large number of other realms. On the other side are Jutan's native reality as well as many others... some taken over by a force that makes a world of rampaging zombies seem calm."

The Striker gave a little

The Striker gave a little annoyed sound at Rotten's intervention. "Gotta ruin my chance at fun?" he moaned, a little heavy on the sarcastic jesting. The lizard turned his head back towards the hero floating behind him all fire-ball ready and such. "Zombie's got me pegged pretty much. You're just racist, Ms. Fireball-in-your-face." The reptile MIGHT have been trying to taunt the heroine, or he might have just been speaking matter-of-factly. After all, the only thing he had done was show up, and watch the cluster of heroes fight off a possible demon... And maybe look silly standing on top of a light post while doing so. Like, who does that, really?!

The names going back and forth didn't ring any bells. Jutan? nope. nothing. The thought of searching out a tear and peaking through though, that certainly did cross his mind. In fact, that had been what he was contemplating a moment before he got held at fireball-point. Sure, it was crazy, but so was looking for trouble with capes.

However each of these rips weakens the barrier, not sure how long it would take to fall apart that way."

Looking to Stalker "relax lizard breath I didn't say you can't fight. Just that ya're not here to cause trouble... well maybe not in way of random destruction. I enjoy a good fight and spar from time to time."

Flashpoint extinguished the fireball that was behind her back and let her arms settle by her side.

"Can you really blame me? I just fought a tentacle monster that came through a rip in space-time. You emerged from a similar rip and watched, looking like you might pounce at any second. Oh, and just so you know, I'd be racist if you were human. But you're not, so I suppose that make me a xenophobe? Have a nice day tall, dark, and scaly." She gave him a snarky little smirk and zipped underneath the light pole to head back over to the group.

Jeremy spun around at the recent scuffles, "Why is everyone so fracking trigger-happy? I mean, I get that we just dealt with some weird floating head tentacle monster thing from another dimension but... Did I step into the twilight zone or an arkham horror?"

He made sure to not look at any one person specifically when he said it, knowing assumptions would be made regardless. He walked over to a patch of grass leading into the park and sat down, letting his skin dig into the grass and ground his stress into the earth. "Sorry guys. I just feel in over my head with this one."

Katrina sighs as she swiftly sheathes her knives out of detectable view, moving to lightly plop down beside Jeremy, before commenting.

"I suppose it's just a consequence of this city, I mean that thing was hardly the wierdest thing we've ever seen, and the day has just started."

She then turns to eye Jeremy closer, as she offers in a rare comforting remark.

Flashpoint hovered over and

Flashpoint hovered over and settled down next to Jeremy. She pulled her knees up and settled her arms on them, looking off in the same direction he was. After a moment to gather her thoughts, she spoke. "It's not about being trigger-happy, Jeremy. It's about being prepared. A hero must always be prepared to rush to the defense or rescue of others. Some heroes, like my friend Liberty Girl, prefer to stand as a barricade between the citizens of this city and those that would harm them. She does so because she is ridiculously strong and next-to-impossible to kill. So she can stand there and take hits that would level other heroes or even kill civilians."

She brushed an errant strand of red-gold hair from her face, then continued. "I prefer a more offensive approach for the simple reason that it's my nature to be blunt and I don't have the ability to resist damage that other heroes do. So I'm going to get in the face of those that I deem as possibly a threat and make sure they understand that I'm there to take them down if they try to harm those I have sworn to protect. The day I stood in front of that judge and swore the Superhero's Oath was the proudest day of my life. If you do the same some day, I'm sure it will be yours, as well."

Flashpoint looked over at him, so he could see the seriousness in her green-eyed gaze. "Between then and now, you have to figure out if you truly want to help those who cannot help themselves, Jeremy. If the answer to that question is yes, then you have to figure out how you want to help them. There are types of heroes who don't fight offensively. Their powers allow them to help other heroes or to make it harder for the enemies of this city to fight. Learn your powers and your style, then see if you still feel in over your head."

The reptilian striker Growled

The reptilian striker Growled at the hero's uncaring nature. In his mutterings, a barely audible sentence left his throat. "I am Human... Just... Changed." She could say all she wanted. Reason it out however she chose. At the end of the day, all those words meant the same damned thing. The striker clenched his clawed hand into a fist, listening the the nonsense the female spouted to the young male. He listened well, and could think of many things he wanted to voice in protest of her opinion of heroics. Really though, it wasn't his place to speak on heroics when he himself couldn't even bring himself to register yet. He'd been in the city for a couple days now, and had read up on the hero laws properly. However, he just couldn't get his head around the idea of a registration, despite all the perks and benefits and above-the-law rights that seemed to come with the territory. This encounter was just another tally mark in the "reasons to not be a hero" category.

"Boy!" The striker shouted, addressing Jeremy. "Don't listen to any advice anyone gives you. Just ask yourself "Does this feel right"." The reptile drew his hand back, and swiped the air apart, ripping a hole in the fabric of space with a muffled crack of thunder. "If saving strangers doesn't feel right, then this isn't the path for you." He added, stepping halfway through, only to be stopped short by Rotten's words.

Jeremy looked back at Flashpoint. "I get what you mean. I just have a strong moral issue against violence is all. Don't matter to me what side of the coin, violence is violence. I don't sleep well enough at night as it is."

Those sitting or standing on the grass could feel the calming Warmth of the earth around them. The energies had tapped into Jeremy and he had become a slight hotspot for activity. Above, a small cloud gathered but did nothing before finally drifting away on a peculiar path. In that moment of reflection and honesty, Jeremy was completely grounded. "This right now feels right. Just... this calm."

"I WAS Human a while ago.

"I WAS Human a while ago. There was some kind of storm I think-- I half-assed a teleport; probably panicked, then some... -THING- took a piece of me in the in-between. After that, things are foggy up until I drained you. Flashes come and go, but I don't dwell on them. They kinda play out like a bad movie." The reptile rested a hand against what could be considered the portal's "door frame" as it were, hesitating. Perhaps he enjoyed the feeling of a conversation that didn't have to be so emotionally charged with Prejudice or anger, or maybe it was just a feeling of respect for Rotten to not just LEAVE mid conversation. "I don't really care to turn back though. This body is stronger than I could have ever been on my own."

"Know the feeling. That

"Know the feeling. That something for me goes by the name of Hel. When ya want a spar look me up. A good fight just for the heck of it can be quite enjoyable." He nodded and that was it he could tell the fellow wanted to go "What ya go by nowadays anyway."

He smiled at Jeremy "Remember how I was insistent not to force ya to be something ya wasn't ready for. Some people think ya can make a Hero, ya can't a person has to feel it first."

The reptilian smiled lightly,

The reptilian smiled lightly, though his head was turned away, the body language probably gave the same emotion. "You regenerate, right? Should be fun." The reptile in question honestly hadn't come up with a name yet. He'd been playing with "Warp Beast", but that sounded more like a title, rather than a name you could give yourself. "I've been playing with some names, but nothing really sticks. It's real hard to name yourself" He said, quite honestly. He pressed his hand against the open teleportal's edge, urging it to stay open a bit longer. The longer they stayed open, the more the world tried to close them shut it seemed. Some kind of natural balance in play there. A fun idea popped into his head. His tail gave a cat-like playful swish as he turned his head to look at Rotten. "How about you think of something for me. If I like it, I'll keep it."

Ron looked over "Well I should think of something soon. Ya portal draining ya as well as sends ripples in reality itself weakening that spot." Then he laughs "Warp Beast think ya been thinking too hard lizard breath. Rift would work just as well. Not Rift Beast just Rift or better yet Rifter."

"Rift...Rift." He repeated,

"Rift...Rift." He repeated, first tasting the word, the embracing it. "I'll take it.--" The Portal started to narrow, slowly overpowering Rift's Physical strength. "If you need me, shoot a flare in Phoenix park. I'll see it." Rift stepped through the portal, the opening closing behind him immediately, and with a crack, like crashing waves, the hole was sealed. The air around the portal became blurry, and went through a series of color shifts, before finally settling down to it's proper dimensional equilibrium.

Out in the curving path ways

Out in the curving path ways of the park, a dastardly villain lay in wait for a victim! His name was Norman Hugo, widely considered an okay guy, but when the mood struck, or his meds wore off, he donned his rubber boots, latex gloves, bucket-helmet, and ducky-towel cape as "Inconvenience Man!!!" With his awesome psychic powers, he could move a might FIVE POUNDS, and used this power for PURE EVIL! As a runner ran by his hiding place in the bushes, the villain silently rose from his hiding place behind the hedges, and raised a latex-gloved hand to his bucket, and focused his powers. Whent he runner went to take a drink, instead of the sports cap opening, the entire lid came off, splashing the runner in the face in an act of PURE UNADULTERATED EVIL! The runner reacted in surprise, coughing out the water that splashed her in the face.

Inconvenience man!!! Took a proudly villainous pose, bright yellow latex gloves on his hips, laughing with a forced "Bwahahaha!" As his head reared back. The laughter was muffled by his bucket, but the sounds still came through loud and clear. "INCONVENIENCE MAN!!! Strikes again!" He shouted, then flung his arms forward freakazoid style, making a whoosh sound, and 'flew' away, running to hide in a different set of bushes.

The runner on the other hand rolled her eyes, and spotted the cluster of heroes. "Hey, someone wanna catch up to the great and powerful Norman over there? I think he forgot to take his meds again... Third time this month." She said, pointing over her shoulder in vaguely the direction that the 'villain' ran off to. "I think the police station keeps a set of his meds on hand. He'll take them, you just gotta pretend to fight him. He likes it when he beats at least one hero though, so one of you might have to play along."

((Who wants a low level side mission? =3))

Katrina smiles at Jeremy's

Katrina smiles at Jeremy's relaxed state, herself feeing eerily calm, a briefly unsettling feeling before it ebbs into peace. She shudders lightly at the sensation before faking a bashful stammer as she answers the runner's request, responding sweetly:

"Oh, m-me? Now I'm not a hero, but these people here-" She then stops herself as she eyes Norman again briefly, taking in his form and unbalanced mental state before slowly resigning.

"On second thought, I think I can handle it, Ron...care to join me?" Her expression is strange, a mix of curiosity and what looks like...a genuine desire to help?

Jorortis looked over at the

Jorortis looked over at the man with the bucket on his head and made his way towards the set of bushes he had hidden in and stood there with is arms folded across his chest."Hello there." He looked back and gave the heroes a wink and planned on over selling this.

--Formerly Jorortis--

Note: Jorortis is still a character of mine and is still going to be in the super group, not Demirus, at least not yet...

"Well I don't know that water trick was kind of funny. Not sure if he considered a criminal if he just causing mischief. Disturbing the peace?" Shrugs "Call the cops have them check out Mr. Buckethead."

"I understand having a moral

"I understand having a moral objection to violence. There's no shame in being pacifistic." Flashpoint paused to look over towards where the kerfluffle with Inconvenience Man was taking place. The others seemed to have it in hand, so she turned back to Jeremy.

"But I am curious about the nature of your pacifism. Do you take a stand against being violent yourself, or against all violence? If you became a hero, would it bother you to be around other heroes who are willing to be violent to stop the criminal element from hurting the people of Titan City? Also, I noticed that you didn't seem too torn up about hitting that monster with a lightning bolt. From that perspective, it seem you are against violence when it is directed towards other humanoids, like the reptilian. Help me to understand your objections better so that I can help you on your heroic path." she said while studying Jeremy.

Jeremy hesitated as he looked

Jeremy hesitated as he looked at the group wanting to 'help' the man that seemed like he needed it. Kat may still be in earshot, Ron certainly was, but Ron had already heard Jeremy's thoughts in some extent. In a moment of bravery he decided he didn't care who knew, "I was bullied...like, a lot. So, I'm not against all violence but I am strongly against what I've grown up viewing as excessive, unwarranted, unprovoked, and collateral violence. I tend to err on the side of pacifism in fear of the boiling frog theory in the context of societal escalation. Like, first it was just cops, then vigilantism, now registration. what happens next for tracking supes and villains and how do those in power attempt to maintain that control? Same with violence. Cops start wearing kevlar, bad guys get armor piercing rounds, cops get military grade, the regular street thug is now as armed as a terrorist. Then before we know it, police state. If there's not someone outside looking in, how will we know it's gone too far?"

He paused, but was clearly not finished as he gathered his next thoughts, "To answer your tougher question with the simpler answer...Yes, it would bother me, assuming they feel no guilt, or the heroes enjoy violence more than justice."

“The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.” -Douglas Adams

"Quis custodiet ipsos

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes... Jeremy, I can't even count the number of heroes I know who would fight against the country becoming a police state. That's most definitely not what the vast majority of heroes want to see. They want to see the people they've sworn to protect be free, happy, and safe. There are quite a few heroes out there who are far more intelligent and have far more influence than a city hero like myself. I can guarantee that they are helping to curb the excesses of the authorities and are also showing them better ways than simple escalation." Flashpoint said, trying to assure him.

"Have you seen those shield drones and turrets they use at Hardlock? Anyone gets out of hand and the drones/turrets slap them in a stasis bubble. The TCPD is beginning to test a new type of non-violent deterrent, an ultrasonic disruptor. It fires a concentrated pulse of ultrasonic waves that cause severe pain and disorientation. The point I'm trying to make is that you have to trust that there are people who are working everyday to make sure things don't get out of hand, as you fear they will."

Flashpoint sighed at his next statement. "You have no idea how scared I am everyday that I'm going to hurt someone. I set people on fire, Jeremy. Most street criminals will panic when that happens and stop fighting so that they can put themselves out. I also make sure to never go too hot, unless I'm fighting something like robots or heavily-armored individuals. Every hero I've ever worked with has felt guilt to some degree or another and they have always worked to only do enough damage to incapacitate unless it's something like that rift creature we just fought. The "heroes" who don't feel guilt or who are in it for the violence, rather than the justice, are few and far between. Also, they are generally policed by other heroes to stop them from going too far. There are far far more that think like you than it may seem at times, Jeremy."

"it's also not necessary Good

"it's also not necessary Good vs Evil. Some of those bad guys only do what they feel they need to. I was, hated violence I sill do fighting for me a challenge a sport. Violence is just wanton destruction. Some of those big time crooks keep tight hold on their gangs, like the Blackrose crooks yeah at the same time it's strict orderly. There Heroes who would murder on a whim just for looking at them the wrong way. Most of those are unregistered don't want to follow the rules. It's not Red vs Blue nowadays there are more shades of purple then ya can shake a stick at."

Katrina then stops herself as

Katrina then stops herself as she turns to face Jeremy and the others, confident Jatoris can handle Inconvineance Man for a moment before offering a bit of usually cloaked insight.

"I always believe that the world is wrapped in shades of grey. Nothing is ever as clear cut as we make it seem Jeremy; Ron's right. If murder was condoned as purely acceptable conduct in society it would not even be examined with a second thought, but does that make it right and just? Your own individual philosophy and set of morals is exactly that, and they are shaped by all experiences you whether, good or bad."

She then sighs as she adds, in a surprisingly emotional and revealing tone, speaking slowly.

"Trust me when I saw that hurting or killing someone is never an easy choice, and that no one is ever 'fine' afterwards. In the end we are they only ones who can decide the weight of our vices, virtues, sacrifices and sins have on our shoulders."

The Towel-caped terror known

The Towel-caped terror known to the local populace as Inconvenience Man!!! faced Jorortis, his bucket spinning faster than his head, and obscuring his vision momentarily. "Hark! A hero attempts to halt the most evil, and dastardly of all villains, Inconvenience man!!!" Yes, he was narrating himself. This was actually happening. "Lo-does the hero know that Inconvenience Man!!! Is a master of--- What in the blazes is that?!" The towel'd villain corrected his bucket, and pointed skyward, towards the top of a building. Regardless of whether Jorortis turned to look or not, the man would continue "Master of deception! The old point and run trick!" With that, the 'villain' scampered off, deliberately climbing up a child's slide, then sliding down with his arms oustretched like he were flying yet again. "Flying at speeds exceeding mach eleven and three quarters, The extrememly handsome, and powerful villain makes his escape!"

"Using his awesome psychic powers, Inconvenience man!!! Lays a trap for his would-be pursuers!" And the crazy nut-job did just that, he used his powers to lay pinecones JUST under the base of the slide, right where you'd land, but slightly hidden, from view with the slide's end-lip obscuring the cones from the top of the FOUR STEP HIGH ladder. FOUR STEPS! That's as high as three and a half feet! After laying the "trap", Norman hopped into a jungle gym, barely sqeezing between the bars. "In his impenetrable forcefield, The extremely handsome, Norman consults his chief scientist, professor 'squirrel' in preparation for doomsday!" A squirrel was lifted over to the man hiding int he jungle gym, flailing in the air trying to escape. It squeaked wildly to the unfamiliar feeling of being lifted by nothingness, trying to get away.
