"Bloke? I'm sorry I don't know anyone by the name of Bloke. But I am related to Superman.""Name's Pong, out of curiosity are you any relation with that bloke down in Metro City?" he asks trying to get a grip on the sight of a young woman floating in mid-air before him.
"Going somewhere? And you would be whom?"
"Oh the guy Bats said was worried about the K-bullets..." his voice trails off as he seems to realise has said a little too much.
"No offence by any chance have you seen some kid in a trenchcoat flying around these rooftops?" Pong asks."Or a guy with a black chakra mark between his eyes?" Pong adds.
Rolled a 61; so that is yellow feat on the table.
I breath a sigh of relief; if he is not wearing or has to much iron; I will try to cast a fey emotion control spell to calm his fear; restore his bravery and confidence thinking perhaps this will awaken him.
<dont think pain is an emotion; fey magic is charm, a bit of entropy; summon lesser fey like gremlins and the like; emotion control; mezmerism and like that from the list I saw; once he opens his eyes I can try to mezmerize him into ignoring his pain as I would think mezmerizm would be abit like high powered hypnotism; correct me if I am wrong; not sure the difference between mezmerism as a spell and mezmerism as a talent as for effects; what I am ready doesnt really say.>
Rolled a 61; so that is yellow feat on the table.
He calms down a bit but is still uneasy, he's now sleeping relatively peacefully but will need medical attention as soon as possible.
Ok; there being nothing else I can do; I lift him up and fly to the nearest medical facility or ambulence I can find; will return afterwards to continue the investigation of the police station's destruction.

"Well as a matter-of-fact, I did see someone like that in the aquaduct. The magical man was taking care of him I believe. Actually, I've seen several new people tonight, most of which have seemed to disappear. So exactly what in Krypton is going on around here, do you know? Earlier this ninja-like guy named Kisaku was here, but I haven't seen him for a little while now either. All these people all at once, its kinda confusing."
"Oh the guy Bats said was worried about the K-bullets..." his voice trails off as he seems to realise has said a little too much.
"No offence by any chance have you seen some kid in a trenchcoat flying around these rooftops?" Pong asks.
"Or a guy with a black chakra mark between his eyes?" Pong adds.
"Never heard of this ninja of yours, any idea what happened over here I had a couple of friends over there and was heading over to check up on them," Pong asks.
"I think we should look around for that magic guy, this Kisaku fellow and get everybody together and compare notes. Somebody has to know something. It appears as if the immediate danger is over. By the way, what kind of powers does a Pong have?"
"Er I kind of bounce for want of better description," Pong replies looking more uneasy.
Scans the area with her Microscopic, telescopic, and x-ray vision to see if she can see any remaining heroes or villains.[/ooc]
You have just seen Maelidek flying off carrying someone whom from your telescopic vision looks badly hurt and just off to the right it looks like Skater is levitating from a shattered building's rooftop and seems to be looking around as well.

"Bouncing, huh, that's different. I'll betcha you can hit pretty hard then. Ok, I just spotted a couple of them. There (points) is the magic guy and it looks like he's flying away with someone who's hurt pretty bad. Over there (points again) is another fellow I saw help me out. Lets get his attention."
"Hey, Mister, over here!" (Waves arms trying to attract Skater's attention.)
It takes a minute or two before he notices but he manages to fly over before landing a little clumsily he looks a bit more battered than before.
"Pong? where's the others?" he asks after he notices your companion.
"Never mind that have you seen Bats?" Pong replies a little hastily.
"Yes I managed to get him to safety before leading the quartet that attacked us off down towards the port, she and two others drove them off before they took me down," Skater answers nodding to Supergirl.
"Any sign of that Maelidek or whatever he called himself or that other one the one with the earth control powers?" Skater asks Supergirl.
"If you mean that magical guy, yea, we saw him fly that way (points) and he was carrying someone who was injured. Batman's around? He's hurt? We should find him, if anybody knows what's going on around here it would be him. Oh, I'm not sure what your name was (looking at Skater). This guy bounces, I guess you knew that, what do you do (looks down at his feet to see if he has ice skates, roller skates, roller blades or some such foot wear on). Gee. my name is kinda boring compared to you guys."
"Any sign of that Maelidek or whatever he called himself or that other one the one with the earth control powers?" Skater asks Supergirl.
"No offence but you're more powerful than anyone I've seen so far," Skater replies with an easy grin.
"Mechimera is down," Pong mentions his face grim.
"Down how? I thought he was with Johnny..." Skater begins to ask.
"Found him near the site where we almost bought it, couldn't get any sense from him so I had to drop him off back at the base," Pong explained.
"So," Pong says after a moment,"Since when can you fly?" he asks.
"Fly? I was just using the nearby buildings to pull me along, I lost my skateboard to a flying pyromaniac Supergirl here took down, I've been trying to catch my breath ever since and when we got here somebody encased the area in darkness..." Skater explained somewhat chagrined.
"Darkness! Was it Johnny?" Pong asked.
"Don't know, I tried dropping magnetic discharges trying to get a response and I got electrocuted, I woke up over there a few minutes ago and have been trying to figure out where I was when the darkness sphere shrank and disappeared..." Skater replied pointing towards the building where he levitated out of.
"Supergirl," Skater turns to look at her,"Any idea who was behind that darkness sphere or who electrocuted me?" he asks her.
"No offence but you're more powerful than anyone I've seen so far," Skater replies with an easy grin.
"Ummm...yea, its the costume. By the way, anyone know where I can get this fixed? (Holds up her ruined cape). I just don't look right without it."
"Is it custom made?" Skater asks curiously.
"Bats should be able to get it replaced," Pong grins.[quote=]
"Mechimera is down," Pong mentions his face grim.
"Down how? I thought he was with Johnny..." Skater begins to ask.
"Who's Mechimera and Johnny?
"Mechimera's a cyborg claims to be linked to the dream dimension but he uses these bodies he builds from practically anything lying around, whilst Johnny well he's sort of a Question-like hero with darkness manipulating abilities," Skater explains.

"Darkness! Was it Johnny?" Pong asked.
"There was someone in the darkness screaming for help, maybe it was this Mechimera or Johnny. I'm thinking that's who the magic man flew away with, but I can't be certain. I know he was trying to help,"
Both Pong and Skater look in the direction you point in ,but of course Maelidek and his passenger are long gone.

"Supergirl," Skater turns to look at her,"Any idea who was behind that darkness sphere or who electrocuted me?" he asks her.
"Does the name Baron Mordo mean anything to you?"
"No," Skater replies looking at Pong.
"Me either maybe if we head back to base we can learn more?" Pong spreads his hands obviously knows as much as Skater does about Baron Mordo."Maybe we ought to check out the police building after all we're only assuming this Baron blew it up there maybe others out there," Skater suggests looking at Supergirl.
"Is it custom made?" Skater asks curiously.
"Bats should be able to get it replaced," Pong grins.
"I hope so, it was quite new actually. Kal will be dissapointed in me when he finds out. Hope he doesn't ground me or anything."
"Who's Kal," Skater whispers to Pong who simply looks back at Skater as if wondering if Skater's been hit on the head!

"Really, I'm not all that mechanically inclined. He isn't like building a robot army to take over the world or anything is he? Because if he is that's really going to suck!"
"That would be hard since his bodies don't work when Skater's anywhere near them!" Pong whispers almost as if he doesn't Skater to hear him but your super hearing however picks up what he mutters perfectly.

"Somehow I have the feeling he'll be back."
"No," Skater replies looking at Pong.
"Me either maybe if we head back to base we can learn more?"
"You have a base, so your some sort of group, kinda like the Justice League?"
"Yes but we might have to go via a different route in case whoever ambushed us are looking out for us," Pong replies.

"Well don't worry about me, I'm not in the habit of following to see where your base is. I can respect the need for privacy."
"Maybe we ought to check out the police building after all we're only assuming this Baron blew it up there maybe others out there," Skater suggests looking at Supergirl.
"The police stations is in ruins. It appears as if the fire departments are already overworked fighting the fire. I don't see any superpowered villains and I don't believe there are any civilians in danger either. We should take a closer look to be certain. Does anybody here need a ride? By the way, does anyone here know what the curfew is for teens? I wouldn't want to run into trouble with the police."
"Well we could shelter in the subbasement at least then we don't have to violate any of Bats regs on letting new people get access to the base since the subbasement's an older disused part of the original base Bats had built," Skater points out to Pong.
"Subbasement? Most of the stuff there was mothballed!" Pong argues back.
"But it will at least do as a temporary base until Bats gets in contact and best of all those bad guys won't know where we're heading," Skater pointed out.
"Okay, okay," Pong finally agrees turning to Supergirl.
"We'll head over to the old disused museum district, its development was shelved when work began on the new police station so we should be able to pass undetected I'll lead the way," Pong explained as he inflates his body and begins bouncing heading to the right and away from the burning police station even as Skater levitates himself.
"We're heading off in that direction shouldn't take a couple of minutes," Skater explains as he heads after Pong.
Will be out for a week on vacation; will check in when I get back; you can keep me rolling in the game if need be; cool beans

heya; let me know when my toon finds a health professional and can return to the group; am reading along :)
Flying next to pong I ask..."So do you ever have a problem with indigestion?
Pong almost deflates in response he does come to a stop though landing outside a boarded up building that looks like an old style government building except where the sign would be giving its title is just a small pair of sticks stuck in the concrete that even Supergirl almost misses.
Skater arrives shortly after Pong and Supergirl land.
"Okay, we head in and look for the stairs to the basement, okay?" Pong mutters he still looks a little wounded at Supergirl.
Skater negligently waves a hand at the boarded up entrance and it levitates clear allowing you to enter.
Shortly after entering Skater reseals the entrance.
"What about Johnny and Maelidek?" he asks Pong.
"Who?" Pong replies.
"The wizard who helped us, oh and where did that other fellow disappear to?" Skater answeres before looking towards Supergirl.

"The ninja, I have no idea where he went, disappeared into the night I guess. Isn't that what ninjas do?"Reaches out to feel what kind of plyable material pongs costume is made out of.
"Custom made?"
Skater pauses to look on.
Pong is looking like he wants to disappear as he glares at Skater."I didn't say anything," Skater answers now looking away.
"Down there," Pong points after moving a short distance away from Supergirl.
"Elevators still out of order then?" Skater mutters walking past them to the sealed elevator and barely touching it the doors spring open.
"Going down?" he asks the others before stepping into the empty shaft and slowly descends downwards.
"Show off!" Pong replies as he moves down the hall to a door marked stairway...
lol; very teenager like hehe; best brush the dirt off and straighten you clothes to make a good impression hehe
"Is it safe? Is the Batman going to be there? Are there other members of your group there? How far down are we going to go? Is there a secret handshake or something I should be aware of?"
"Is it safe? Is the Batman going to be there? Are there other members of your group there? How far down are we going to go? Is there a secret handshake or something I should be aware of?"
"This is a backup facility in case we run into serious trouble, with Johnny hospitalised and Mechimera out of action we need to make sure we haven't lured anything back to our home base if they haven't already breached it, here we should be able to contact Bats and see what else is going on out there," Pong explains as he opens the door and then inflates before bouncing down the stairway or rather where the stairs should be as its clearly been demolished leaving a dark hole descending into the lower level that Pong bounces down.
Supergirl notices it has been conveniently been cleared of anything that looks like sharp debris but other than that it descends about 50' down and unlike the elevator has plenty of room to descend down into the basement...

MEANWHILE
************
Maelidek arrives at the hospital with the unconscious hero.
An orderly rushes out as he sees him enter.
"Can I help you?" he gulps as he takes in the pair.
Me; no; I am uninjured; but this man is seriously hurt and needs immediant care; also, in case you have not been informed; there is a high probability of many more injured at the site of the new police station which was to open; it has been attacked and there is much destruction in the area; so; i suggest you alert your staff to prepare or emergency services to ensure they are informed thus minimize loss of life.
This person has an injury here; <I point> I know not his name or any more than that that might help you; I must return to help others; will you take charge of him; I shall check on his condition here when I can; how long do you think before he is conscious; he has important information about what happened and who caused all the destruction.
<I await a response and read his nameplate>

<I await a response and read his nameplate>
"Y-yes sir we've already received three ambulances from the area but did you just come from the new police division headquarters?" he blurts out as he helps ease Johnny inside the hospital.
"I'll need to get him inside it might take a couple of minutes before a doctor is available to treat him but we'll get him comfortable and treat his injuries as best as possible if you'd like to take a seat inside I'll have the doctor come out to advise you as soon as we can?" he replies still sounding a little unnerved.
do you know which doctor; others may need my help; I have special skills and strengths and must return to the site of destruction and to advise and assist other heroes in the area; give me the doctors name that I might find him or call for an update if you please; but I must go very soon.

"Uh, okay let me get your friend to a hospital bed and then I'll try and get the doctor in to see him as soon as possible," he replies helping Johnny inside where Maelidek can see the hospital is very busy the front has been kept clear but he can celarly hear the sound of ambulance sirens along with police cars and fire engines.
just tell me what the doctors name is quickly; I must attend to others.

"I believe Doctor Archie Morris is the ER Chief Resident," the nurse gulps back as he turns to wave on some help as they escort the injured hero inside to a hospital bed.
<wow very cool; gonna have to learn that link thing>
I say: Thank you.
ok; get a flyer at the desk for the hosptital so i have their number; jot down the nurse and doctors name, then leave the hosptital and return to the scene where I found him and seek supergirl and the ninja guy. If i dont find them fairly quickly; search the wreckage for lost or trapped people; aid rescue efforts; maybe I will find more clues to the flying shooting thing in the air problem or more about other heroes or villians who were about or why this particular police station was attacked.

They've left the scene by the time you return from the hospital, a number of fire engines and police are present sifting through the wreckage and even going through the surrounding neighbourhood generally around where most of the property damage has occurred so they seem to have gotten in control of the situation as far as you can see.
Well, I consider it my duty to report what I saw; so I approach an officer and say:
Sir; I can provide some description of what happened here; to whom should I report?

"Are we there yet? Perhaps we should contact the magic man and bring him here as well. He was intrumental in assisting with defusing the police station attack. Is he part of your group? Can we contact him? Where's your monitor so we can speak with him?"
"Magic man?" Pong asks.
"The guy was taking Johnny to hospital I think," Skater replies taking a seat in what looks like a mothballed base meeting room."I SEE YOU MADE IT HERE FINE" a booming voice echoes through the room as a monitor screen on a side wall beams into life.
On it is shown Batman however the background looks like he's sitting in an actual cave but whether its his famed personal base you don't know.
"JOHNNY HAS BEEN ADMITTED INTO HOSPITAL A FEW MINUTES AGO, YOUR NEW FRIEND IS BACK INVESTIGATING THE SCENE OF THE RECENT BATTLE YOU'VE HAD, ANYTHING YOU ACRE TO REPORT?" Batman asks.
"Mechimera is down," Skater responds counting the fingers of one hand.
"There's another hero out there in addition to Maelidek I think he called himself?" Skater then adds before looking across to Supergirl.
"Any word on who was behind this mess?" Pong interrupts.
"THE INITIAL ATTACK WAS BY MEMBERS OF THE TEN RINGS GROUP, ACCORDING TO RUMOUR THEY'RE LED BY THE MANDARIN, EXACTLY HOW HE TIES INTO NEW PROVERBIAL I DON'T KNOW BUT I HAVE HEARD OF YOUR NEW FRIEND "SUPERGIRL"" Batman replies turning to look at Supergirl.
Well, I consider it my duty to report what I saw; so I approach an officer and say:
Sir; I can provide some description of what happened here; to whom should I report?
A detective approaches you as soon as you introduce yourself.
"My name is Detective John Jones, please if you step over here I'd like to hear what you've witnessed here,"he asks.
Detective John Jones (I say it exaclty like he did, should be a bit creepy); here is what I have witnessed:
I was at <give location> when I heard the wail of the banshee that rides the top of your emergency vehicles; but that was drowned out by the fireball and roar I heard above me. Over the rooftops flew a figure holding being who looked much like your famous Batman, thus chased by a trio of figures flying some mechanical flying disc and another figure sheeted in fire, a battle seemed to rage between them, I knew not who was whom and still do not. The vehicle pulled out some long tube device which fired twin long bullets with fins at the firey person. They missed and where they landed I do not know; much of the fires were started I believe by the Firey figure; I caused the storm to expell more water to quench the growing flames in the city; thus easing the work of your men; there is much rubble about as well which I believe came from this tussle. I flew in pursuit of the figures to see the figure holding what appeared to be the Batman hide behind a bridge; the firey figure this thus blast them and the bridge and much debree did fall upon them. At this time one woman; who dressed much like the colors of another cities famous hero; The Superman, came; she pursued the firey flyer; but I believe he got away; i sought those at the bridge and moved very large chunks of debree; but found naught.
At this time a cloaked figure arrived; and the girl who calls herself Supergirl; myself and the cloked figure did take a quick council; I did keep the rain up until I saw the fires greatly slacken; We as a group moved toward your what was your new gaurd station; police depot I believe it is called; and the place was engulfed in a intense magical darkness; thus, darkness holds no fear for one such as I; so I did enter and see thus another figure gloating over the wounded body of another person; presumably a hero; and did thus drop him from a great height, but I enterceded and caught the falling figure, gave him first aid; then took him to the hospital under the care of nurse Gustav Henriksen and Doctor Archie Morris; I lost track of the my companions and presume they are persuing the dread figure that stood atop the rubble of your gaurd station; I lost contact with them but expect they will return here to report as is their civic duty. Thus I will await them, I will help you search the rubble for survivors as I am far more able to assist than most.
I look the detective in the eye and await his response wondering if he has more questions; detectives usually do.

Ummm...hope I'm not intruding, it's good to see you again sir. Is this investigation into The Ten Rings and Mandarin guy anything I can help with. I mean I know I don't have as much experience as these guys, but I'd like to help if I can.
"YOUR HELP WILL BE WELCOME BUT FIRST YOU WILL HAVE TO PICK UP YOUR COMPATRIOT SO WE CAN CONSIDER OUR NEXT STEP," Batman explains.

"ROUGHLY SPEAKING ITS ZERO THREE HUNDRED HOURS, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE USE OF ONE OF THE GUEST ROOMS TO CHANGE AND REST A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT WILL BE OBTAINED ALTHOUGH WE'LL NEED THE ORIGINAL TO MAKE IT AS CLOSE A REPLACEMENT AS POSSIBLE," Batman replies.
I look the detective in the eye and await his response wondering if he has more questions; detectives usually do.
"Okay," the detective nods in reply and then pauses as if he's listening to someone speaking to him possibly the strange glowing blue earring he wears on his right ear is the source as far as you can tell.
"Here," he scribbles something on a piece of card and passes it to you.
"I'd recommend you go there and ask for accommodation for the night, an officer will be along in the morning to take your statement, but for now I'd recommend you get off the streets so we calm down things to avoid any further disturbances of the peace, okay?" he asks.
