A month or two ago, when you were all about keeping your head down, the red sky would probably have meant very little to you, practically speaking. You expected it to make people panicky, and it does, but not quite in the way you expected. After the initial panic, people shifted to a sort of slow boil while they went about their lives, the constant gnawing of the red waiting just under the surface of things. General opinion is that it’ll be okay – the Avengers will fix it. Stuff like this happens sometimes.

It’ll be fine.

That said, with a lot of antsy people literally seeing red all the time all day, things between the major syndicates have… escalated. And with no Avengers teams currently operating in New York, it’s been a bit of a free-for-all for anyone with a bright suit, a set of superpowers, and a will to use them in villainous pursuits.

You leap over to the opposite roof, easily clearing the alley below. The sounds of gunfire snap and shriek through the night.

“It should be just up ahead.” Says the Phantom, from the other end of your phone. “According to the witness reports going up on twitter, there’s around five of them.”

You frown. That’s more of them than you.

“I’ve been in touch with Cage. He and a friend are en route. Sit tight until then.”

“Sure.”

Volunteer work. You never thought you’d be doing volunteer work, but apparently the Agency and most like it have something of a policy regarding times like these. And since Remy straight-up vanished around the time of the third skyline incident, you guys are a little understaffed, so you’ve been running around NY doing lots of very dangerous stuff for no pay.

Nearby, people shout and scream. You hear metal tearing.

Doesn’t sound all that great for anyone involved over there, does it?

You could probably afford to get a little closer. Just to see what’s going on.

Moving silently, you creep your way to the edge of the roof, surveying the scene unfolding below.

Six cop cars idle in various states of disarray throughout the T-section, one of them thoroughly upturned and currently occupying several tables on the window-side of a coffee shop on the corner. The officers that aren’t on the ground and bleeding are toting heavy duty gear – bulletproof vests and rifles and stuff – and have clustered themselves behind three of their vehicles.

The people they’re taking occasional potshots at are arrayed around the scene, blocking off the roads. There’s five of them, like the Phantom said, and they’re all women clad in various levels of clingy spandex and leather. They seem to have some sort of… snake person theme… going on.

They don’t seem to be that bothered about the cops. Mostly, they seem to just be keeping them where they are – occasionally one of them keeps the police pinned down by casting a bolt of weird, arcing green light across the chassis' of the cars they’re huddled behind.

Hmmm. You don’t know who any of these peeps are.

But that’s okay. You have an app for that.

>(2/2)

Pulling out your trusty Moon Phone, you train it on the scene. A slight whir indicates that it’s accessing facial recognition or something, and soon enough you get a bunch of short, succinct notes superimposed across the screen:

We should go out of our way to make it as lame as possible, for example having it just be a bunch of second hand tourist apparel (A random big apple T-Shirt or one that says I heart NYC on it or something lame). As well as having one of those harry potter scarfs as a face mask, just to make it blatantly obvious we didn't put that much effort into planning for any of our life decisions.

I still think we should impersonate Dr.Doom, cape, hood, iron mask, and gloves. Change them up a bit, but generally Doom like.

>>40176003

Why would JJ need a mask? He's a mutant hobo with lizard parts. It's not like he has a secret identity to protect.

>and the winner is...

The breath pounding in his lungs, Lucas takes a moment to steady himself, before trotting after you. You guess keeping up with you on foot is pretty difficult.

You can’t help but be a bit amused by him. He’s assigned the task of protecting his identity to a torn, bright red bandana with a set of raggedy eye-holes poked through the fabric, wearing it atop his head in a manner that stirs vague recollections of Saturday mornings and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Of course, you doubt it has any real value, as there is nobody but Lucas in NY with the nerdish gall to wear this in combination with a Superman shirt and a red jacket.

You guess it puts across the right impression. ‘Don’t shoot, I’m the good guy! The goodest guy!’

“Hey.” You nod to him across the rooftop. “Help should be here soon. You got a full tank?”

“Yeah.” He replies, a brief flash of red light arcing between his eyes. “I just haven’t, uh, switched it on yet.”

Good.

You smell fear moving on the wind, and turn your attention to the street below. Cops are looking real nervous now – and for good reason. One of the snake women, the one with the costume that looks like it was ripped off an actual viper – is waving her arms about, directing a swarm of assorted serpents across the road towards them, circling them in.

“Whoa, that doesn’t look good.”

You hear the muscles tightening in Lucas’s legs, his entire rhythm changing. He really would just jump down there.

“Yep.” You reply. “I’m taking a shot. We’ll move a little further down the street after, cool?”

Lucas nods, a big, excited smile on his face. “Cool.”

Slipping your shades down your nose, you focus your vision on the snakeokinetic (is that a word?) redhead apparently going by ‘Princess Python’. A lance of blue-white light streaks out over the street and slams straight into her chest, and she goes down instantly, her teammates freezing up in shocked silence. Immediately, the snakes layering the tarmac lose their uncanny sense of direction, some of stopping in their tracks, some of them even turning on one another.

Apparently, the girl’s suit is Kelvar or something, because she’s not out cold. She drags herself up, pointing up at the building you’re perched upon and shouting something.

You move.

A burst of crackling, bright green light spirals across the roof, twisting like electricity as it snaps to and fro through the air. You and Lucas manage to leap back before it can do you any harm, but you notice the brickwork around you sizzle at its touch. Yikes.

Running at full-pelt, the two of you move to the building on your left. It’s a little tall to jump to, so you land yourself on the fire escape hanging out over the street, slipping out of the visible spectrum before you come into sight. Lucas drops into the alley below, and you pick up the strange, distorted percussion of him absorbing the impact.

You turn your attention to the criminal element.

The snakes are spreading out now, obviously directed to search the street for interlopers.

Hmmm. Snakes find stuff by tasting the air, don’t they?

You grimace, and wrap your fingers around the frame of the fire escape. With a grunt of exertion, you tear free two of the metal bars lining the sides of the platform, the rain-worn steel coming loose with a little application of strength. You remember one major thing about your fight with Mr. Negative – the whole time, you were wishing you had something on hand with hit him with.

Time to stupid.

Your muscles roil under your skin, and you leap down from your perch, glancing a quick blast in the redhead’s direction as you plummet down toward the street below. You catch her around her shoulder, spinning her about – not perfect, but it makes her scream in frustration (and probably pain). Before you hit the ground, you tuck yourself in and slam your feet against the lowermost fire escape platform, shunting your momentum outward. You sail across the street and land safely in the middle of the road, rolling once or twice before you’re back on your feet.

Of course, all that effort has left you very visible.

The snakes converge upon you, but you release an almost reflexive hiss, and they give you a wide berth.

“He’s – he’s there!” Clutching her shoulder and wincing painfully, ‘Princess Python’ jabs a scale-gloved finger in your direction. “My snakes won’t get near him!”

“On it!” The tallest one – the one with the green skin and the huge, spiny tail – charges across the street toward you. “Keep the heat on the pigs!”

Oh. That would be Death Adder.

>(2/2)

Behind her, the girl in white – Asp, apparently – releases a constant, sustained burst of crackling green electricity that lashes at the cops and their barricade.

Right. You can’t keep the snakes away forever, and you can’t keep sniping Python if ‘Death Adder’ (Christ how edgy) gets to grips with you.

Hmmm.

Squinting, you tilt your posture back, and hurl one of the metal poles. It whips through the air, passing straight by Death Adder as the reptilian girl bulldozes her way toward you. You don’t want to put it straight through anyone’s chest, so you adjusted your aim a little, and it ‘skips’ off the hood of an intervening cruiser, changing its angle of approach minutely. Instead of sticking Princess Python to whatever’s behind her, its spin lands one of its blunt lengths straight across her forehead.

Conk. She crumples into unconsciousness without a moment’s swooning.

You focus on the oncoming Death Adder.

In the brief moment you have before Death Adder is upon you, you consider breaking your little improvised weapon up into two even littler weapons, but decide against it. According to the Moon Phone, the lady has things called ‘toxin emitters’ built into her. You think you want to stay as far away as possible from anything that emits toxins.

She moves as a blur. She’s not dumb, this one – she comes at you poised for a swing of those big, nasty claws on the ends of her fingers, but at the last second she skids to a halt and pirouettes, bringing the immense weight of her tail around on your flank. You see it coming, though – something in her body language just speaks to you – and you vault over its sweep. As you pass over her head, you swat her across the side of her head with your weapon.

She grunts in pain, her head jolting slightly to one side. The sound and general feel you get from the impact is about what you’d expect from striking solid stone.

You land, and immediately slap one end of the bar across her back, eliciting yet another angry snarl from the woman.

>>40177628
What is the context of this gif?

>(2/2)

Whirling around, she hops adroitly from offensive to offensive, swiping at you with her claws. She’s fast, and agile, and she’s clearly realized that you’re just as nimble, because most of your attempts to counter result only in superficial slaps across her flanks. Her tail works constantly to offset her weight, allowing her to sway away from your attempts to land a solid hit.

Behind you, the sounds of fighting intensify. You hear Lucas charging from his hiding place. You guess the cavalry is here.

Leaning away from a swipe of her tail, you manage another sharp blow across the side of Death Adder’s face, this time leaving a slight spot of bruising upon her otherwise pristine features. She doesn’t appear to be going down, though…

But why would you want to, really? It won't do much for JJs strength since he is already way over human levels thanks to his mutation. So all it will do is alter appearance (in a way not very convincing if we want to continue passing as a hobo).
Hell, it might even have negative side effects because too much mass limits your flexibility - though that is probably countered by Enhances Agility

If we can't get good hits in, we can use our claws to bleed her out. She'll tire quick after that.

Shame we don't have Natural Weaponry Lvl 3. Now would be a great time for the tail to show up.

>>40177773
>[ ] Full opportunist, only go for sure hits.

Make jokes too.

>>40177835
Strength can still be improved by working out. This has been confirmed.

As for hobodom: being fit and muscled does not mean he will bulk up stupid amounts. In the time given, JJ would have probably just got muscle toned stage.

JJ also has contortion extrap. Flexibility is not a concern.

>>40177835
What? It wouldn't just alter our appearance, if JJ works out and eats right, his upper limit for superhuman strength increases. This has been established

Okay, looks like:

Don't wear it out, anon. Once every three threads is enough.
>>40178220
Why do you think we attacked Mr. Niggative's crib for free? It's because JJ is a good guy who doesn't seem to hesitate putting himself in harm's way to save others. At least he has been so far.

And if you read the thread properly, you'll see ge turned visible from the exertion as he attacked Snaketitses and moved into melee to cover Luke.
>>40178312
That's a very asshole thing to do.

>>40178312

Because he's a good guy who knows that people will need protecting in this uncertain time.

Plus I think Phantom will give out some sort of compensation.

>>40178254
>aren't in a position to pay

90% of them are in better housing and monetary situation than us, and can take out a loan, or insurance, or some sort of government support, unlike us.
>>40178312
Remy works as superhero for free?

Also why are we fighting mutants for good of humans, when humans are trying to kill us again? I bet the policeman are gonna attack us, as soon as the mutants stop the suppressing fire on them.

>>40178312
>but apparently the Agency and most like it have something of a policy regarding times like these

And then he would've gotten fired, or at the very least gotten a new asshole ripped open verbally by the Phantom. It's in character for him to act altruistic.

>>40178312
>>40178341
It would've been, and that's why I'm pointing it out. Believe me, I'm against JJ going full mercenary

>>40178358
Dude, your really not the brightest bulb in the box are you?

You can chant Money Money Money all you want but that does not change the character trying to save lives.

>>40178341
"Sure, I am homeless and have people that depend on me for their survival but I'd love to go out and health and life for absolutely no compensation what so ever."

Yeah, a complete asshole thing to not refuse.

can we at least loot some jewelry from the villains we defeat?

>>40178358
Because these mutants are making us look bad? Because we're a homeless nigger and even we don't try to rob people? Because JJ isn't a part of the brotherhood or Julian's gang, and is all 'rah rah mutant power'?

>>40178401

Anon, when you're in a position to save lives and refuse to do it because it inconveniences you, you automatically attain Rand Paul levels of douchebag.

>>40178401
It's completely in character for JJ to assist people for no compensation when given the opportunity to, human or mutie or whatever the fuck cthulu lovecraft abomination from deep space.

>>40178401
You must be a new player. You couldn't be this stupid otherwise.

We don't know that nor do we have proof.

You breathe in, try to mediate the flow of adrenaline through your veins, and focus on being one step ahead of her. Nothing good will come getting pumped full of deadly mutant toxins because you got careless and tried to end this quick. You try to think like Laura does.

Death Adder leaps at you, and you pirouette aside, swatting away her tail as she curls it about to strike you in the midst of your arc. You catch a glimmer of a smile cutting across her face as she spins around to rake at you with her claws, a set of no-doubt venomous fangs flashing eagerly in her mouth. High heartrate, palpable waves of adrenaline in her sweat, minor flexes in her musculature that speak to you of something like hunger – on some level, she’s enjoying this.

Well, you can’t have that. There is no fun allowed in this battle.

She swipes, and you flick your weapon down to intercept, cracking it over her wrist. Concentrating, you release a brief pulse of electricity through the implement. The woman yelps in surprise and pain, recoiling instinctively, and you see your opening open up. You jab the pole straight at her stomach. Her toned abdomen shares more in common with masonry than muscle, but it’s a solid it, and she skids a few feet backward, the air leaving her lungs in a sharp, hoarse gasp.

She recovers quickly, but you keep dancing one step ahead of her, occasionally prodding her with an annoying zap of electricity. Gradually, the enjoyment fades from her features, and is replaced by a mounting frustration that bunches like barbed wire in her physique, ready to uncoil.

>>40178758
Explain how many albino people there are in Marvel that aren't mutants. That's the lynchmob's reasoning.

>(2/2)

Eventually, she’s had enough, and one of your jabs is answered by a cry of anger. She rushes you, swinging her tail around over her head. It scythes through the air, passing an inch from your face, and you know that this is your moment.

You reach deep, prying into your core, and you feel the sun rise in your chest.

Streaks of twisting, almost fiery bioluminescence extend through your flesh, blooming from the center of your chest. For a moment, the smell of lilies and… something else… becomes overpowering, even for you, and you feel your limbs quaking with barely-controlled strength.

Her eyes go wide as you slip in close and slam your weapon straight across her stomach.

She flies off her feet, pitching backwards through the air as through caught in the path of an invisible wrecking ball. You feel bones creak and splinter – both in your arm, and in her chest – and the steel bar in your hand snaps cleanly in half.

That’s a cool thing you can do now.

Death Adder crumples to the ground, gasping and wheezing as she struggles to pick herself up. The glow clings to your skin as you advance on her. She glances up, panic evident in her eyes, and forces up a weak smile.

“Y-know… you have a sort of lizard thing going, and – and we have an opening, so…”

Uh, nope.

You bring the remaining half of your weapon around over the back of her head. She slumps down into unconsciousness.
