The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[Captainguy42]

Golem was working his way back to Richard, the guards weren't giving him enough space for him to gain momentum, they were crowding him to make sure he didn't break into a run. Punching and kicking he slowly made his way towards Richard. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, a guard with a particularly sharp knife and good amount of leverage had managed to get the blade past his skin and embed it in his shoulder blade. Golem wasn't too concerned, the pain could be shrugged off and the wound would probably be healed by the time he got back to the Promenade. However all the other guards took note, in unison they dropped their guns and pulled out razor sharp knives. Fuck. By the time Golem finally fought his way to Richard, he had no less than eight knives sticking in him, and a score of cuts oozing blood. I'm startin to hate this job.

Katie knocked out another guard, but she knew she was tiring. Manipulating the plant wall, especially with its size, had taken a minor toll on her power, and she was already wearing out physically from all the punching and kicking she was doing.

But she persevered, knowing all of this would be for nothing if Mordtoten released the virus. The thought of foiling his plan gave Katie newfound strength, and she continued to fight.

"Get back to the group, I'll cover you." Richard said as he continuously picked of guards. They attempted to give chase as they moved but all either lay dead or had run by the time they got back to the group.

Jason stayed close to Katie, noticing her stamina was deteriating slightly before she suddendly got back into action. Jason kept his eyes focused on her as she fought while fighting some on his own.

"Dude, your girlfriend is a beast. Er, in a good way." Jason conscience spoke out to him as he unleashed a 3 kick combo on a guard.

"I know right?! She's...beautiful when she fights. Such talent, such grace, such power..." Jason thought back dreamily as a guard tried to rush him. Jason sidestepped the guard, taking his rifle, and swinging at him it, sending the unfortunate peon flying forward.

"Need a hand?"

Appearing behind a few of the few remaining guards, Simon cut into them furiously with his knife and when one of them managed to stumble away, Simon threw his knife at the man, the weapon embedding itself in the guards exposed neck, dropping him to the ground. Walking causally over, Simon couldn't help but chuckle as he pulled the knife out

"The enemy cannot push a button if you..."

Garrus had helped take out a number of guards, but his main priority was finding the door to the lab. He sent shock wave after shock wave, dismissing doors and corridors as he walked behind everyone. He then noticed that there was a large, thick doorway that was connected to a walkway on the upper levels of the lab. He sent another shock wave, smiling when he found a door and stairs at the end of it that lead down to the lower labs.

"Hey listen! I've found the door we'll need to go through to get to the labs everyone," he said before adding, "Down two more hallways, and then we take a left and go down some short steps. Big door."

 

[blaze96]

"Alright, since we're done with these guards then let's get moving. Probably have a hell of a time with that door though." Richard said, heading in the direction of the door.

 

[Pm0n3y]

As Jason drop the last threat, he heard Garrus' comment.

"Heard that Katie? Garrus found another way to the lab! We should catch up to him and the rest of the team." He said as he took her by the hand. And with that, they ran off, to find everyone else.

"Rich and Tommy weren't too far from us, if we find them, then we'll find Gar and the others." He thought as they raced through the hallways.

 

[CounterAttack]

Two more hallways? Really? Katie thought to herself as she ran after Jason. And I'm fatigued enough as it is... No. Don't think like that. You've got to keep going. Got to keep fighting.

 

[Quad08]

Appearing beside Garrus, Simon looked up at the door.

"Lots of static electricity going on behind that thing. I probably won't be able to teleport until whatever is causing the static stops"

He pulled out his knifes, which were somehow clean of any blood

"I guess we'll wait for the calvary then"

He said, leaning against the door

 

[Pm0n3y]

Jason looked back for a second to see fatigue beginning to set on Katie. Immediately, he stopped.

"Get on my back. I'll carry you." He said, looking at her with one of his usual unseen smiles.

 

[CounterAttack]

"That works, I guess," Katie answered, quickly climbing up. She wrapped herself around him, but couldn't help but be distracted a little by what she was doing as she locked her legs around his waist. Even through her layer of armour, Katie's skin tingled a little.

Stop thinking about it, Katie, she ordered herself. The problem at hand is a higher priority than the way you feel about your boyfriend.

 

[blaze96]

Richard and Tommy arrived at the door. He looked at it and let the computer in his suit run calculations and to find the make and thickness of the door.

"I'm not going to be able to cut through that, it's too thick, and it's too heavy to simply move out of the way. Looks like we're going to have to find a more finessed solution. Damn, that's going to eat up too much time." Richard groused.

 

[Pm0n3y]

As Katie made herself comfortable on his back, Jason took off, racing towards their desination. Within a few minutes, they arrived, finding their teammates standing in front of a large door.

"Hey gang, did we miss anything?" He asked, panting. His mask unraveled monentarily so he could wipe off the beads of sweat that occupied his brow.

 

[blaze96]

"Other than the door we can't cut or bash through? Not a thing." Richard replied.

 

[Pm0n3y]

"Can't cut through, eh? Guess that means I'm out of the equation." Jason said, thoughtfully stroking his chin before his mask re-covered his face.

"Well, what about Simon's teleporting? Or Garrus' shockwaves, or Katie's plant powers in general? Somebody has to be able to get pass this door." Jason questioned in wonder.

 

[blaze96]

"Simon's power might be the only one that can actually help. He can teleport behind the door and see if there is a panel or some other way to open the door. Though we would need to get the static electricity in the area down first. Maybe Dona can get someone on the inside to help out with that, or Garrus can maybe follow the waves generated by any humming machinery and follow it to the door." Richard said.

 

[tsatoma]

Garrus sent a quick wave through the door, shaking his head before turning back to the group. "I can't pinpoint anything that's causing the static, might just be all the equipment from the lab," he explained to them, "I will say that that door has a lot of inner-workings and layers."

 

[CounterAttack]

Katie jumped down from Jason's back, squeezed his hand briefly in thanks and leaned up against the wall to relax in the time she had. Looking at the door in front of them, she knew she couldn't possibly break through something that thick, even if she were operating at full effectiveness. The layers Garrus mentioned would need to be broken through individually if Katie were to try to open the door. And metal was harder for roots to break apart than simple wood, plastic or concrete.
