The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[CJ1145]

"Guess not" Alister chuckled to himself.

"Well," he began. "when I'm in a fight, see, I get stronger the more people I've got helping me. I've also got this ability, if you could call it that. When I talk to people, it's really easy to see my way of thinking. I suppose you could call it super-persuasion. That's all the natural stuff I got on my own. Beyond that, I have this."

Alister unzipped his hoodie, removing a large sword.

"Don't ask how I managed to hide this. It's called Excalibur, but I assume you already know about it. It turns out, beyond its own abilities, it gives whoever wields it extreme agility and a good head for combat, for lack of better terms."

"And finally, well, you know those stories about the Holy Grail? I don't know if the stories about where it come from are true, but the grail itself is. I managed to get a few sips from it during a trip to the Middle East. It gave me a... well, I don't know what I'd call it. I'm a lot healthier and I don't seem to take as much damage from things."

Alister leaned back, his explanation finally finished. "And that's about it. What do you do?"

Simon shrugged

"I mostly teleport"

He said nonchalantly taking another drink before heading off towards the kitchen

"The other ones are mostly...passive, in nature"

"Dona, try and calm down. Just watch and get reacquainted with yourself, I'll be going to give you some peace. Come see me when you're done and tell me what you know about who did it. We'll find him." Richard said before leaving quietly. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of wine with a glass and sat at the table before opening it and pouring himself a glass.

"Three recruits, two new secrets, and one operation to reveal the appearance of a person. Today really needs to end." he mumbled to himself as he poured the glass before having his first drink of the night.

"Then just go to bed then Rich. That's what I'm about to do." Jason said spontanuously with a yawn as he walked into the kitchen after Richard.

"Besides, it's getting late, and I wanna get up early to look for Katie." He added, going to the fridge to get some milk.

"By the way, does the Scuderias we have come with a navigation system, or could I just get one from you?" He asked, pouring himself the remainder of the white beverage before tossing the plastic carton into the garbage.

 

[blaze96]

"Should have one in there already. If it doesn't, just pick a mechanic in the city and have them install it. I'll take care of the bill." Richard replied.


"And I'll probably go to sleep in a bit, just waiting for one more thing to happen before I do."

Jason replied with a simple nod before finishing up his drink. After putting his cup up, he tiredly walked out of the kitchen, wishing the multi-millionaire a good night. Making his way upstairs, he saw light come from one of the rooms. Ignoring that, he continued to his room, only stopping to open and close the door. Almost immediately after, he leaped onto the bed a drifted into slumber.

Tommy left and went to his room, after stripping and dressing into some clean clothes to sleep in he jumped on his bed and relaxed in the comfort of the relatively familiar bed until sleep washed over him.

"I have some contacts in a few agencies that could easily investigate this without being noticed. I'll call in a few favors and see what they find, and I'm sure they'll find out one way or another. They are experts in investigation and stealth...among other things." Richard replied.

"Doing security contracting means not only have I worked for them, they've helped me test new systems on occasion. Know I can't tell you who specifically I am talking about, but rest assured they will get the job done."

Alister had, by this point, fallen asleep on a couch. He was not one to take boredom well, and had entirely forgotten about the laptop in his new room. A vague thought entered his mind as he dreamed, wondering if there was some sort of alarm to wake him up in case of trouble.

Too easy. He thought to himself, quite literally. This isn't the cartoons you've watched all your life. If something goes down, someone's going to wake you up. It'd be cruel to leave you behind... right?

Spoiler: OOC

Yeah, Alister grew up watching all sorts of superhero cartoons, along with the Indiana Jones movies. A strange combination of these two seemingly incompatible continuities has been the inspiration for his entire career.

 

[blaze96]

"Well then, I'm going to get in touch with my contacts and get some sleep. I would suggest you get some as well. Good evening to you." Richard said before heading up to his room. He spoke to his contact in MI6 and was assured that they would search into this man and the burning down of the home, with that taken care of he went to sleep.

 

[CJ1145]

Alister's subconscious mind felt a slight tremor. It could only be... excitement! He jolted up from the couch, fully awake and vaguely remembering the resident psychic had promised an adventure.

I'll take you up on that offer. Alister thought, like assuming he was dreaming. And for Christ's sake, stay out of my head!

The next day~~~

Garrus was already awake before everyone else, sitting in the kitchen for a good few hours before going for a jog. He wasn't that surprised that the city was still bustling and was well on it's way to going back to how it was before the earthquake.

He made it back to the Promenade and took a seat at the kitchen table, drinking some orange juice as he awaited to see what would happen that day.

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy was up early, running around Nova City to warm up for a hard day of exercise he had already planned; agility until 10:00 AM, endurance until 12:00 PM, finally strength until 5:00 PM. Gonna be a hard day, looking forward to it. He rounded a corner and decided to run through a heavily wooded park. As he entered a clearing in the trees, four figures jumped from the shadows and tackled him pushing him to the ground. As soon as he hit the ground Tommy twisted his body throwing all his strength into continuing the roll. One assailant released, the others held but Tommy managed to scramble to his feet. With a powerful spin, while extending his arms he broke their holds and sent the flying off of him.


With the space created Tommy got a good look at the men attacking him, they all dressed in black, leather trench-coats, all seemed to be between 30 and 40, with stubbly beards. Shit, the trench-coat brigade, why the hell are they here? He couldn't wait for an answer, in a flash they had recovered, two rushing him again, the others standing back, one brandishing a shotgun, the other a scroll. Tommy punched out at one of the men charging, catching him right on the chest and sending him flying into a tree's branches. The second one grabbed hold of him and feebly tried to wrestle him, but was clearly underpowered for the task. With a swing of his arm he sent the man flying into the tree line, out of sight. The man with the shotgun pulled the trigger, unleashing not shot, but mage-lighting. The forks of lighting caught Tommy right on his solar-plexus, cutting off his connection to magic, he felt his strength drain away from him and staggered slightly. Next the one with the scrolls unleashed two bolts of energy, connected with a silvery strand, each bolt hit one of Tommy's hands, then the wrapped around him binding his arms to his sides. Without his enhanced strength he couldn't break the bonds, the energy manacles send out a pulse of paralyzing energy, forcing Tommy to drop to the ground.


As he tried to draw breath, the manacles sent out more pulses in response to the expansion of his chest. He was forced to take shallow breathes barely able to keep him from passing out. As his mind teetered on the edge of the abyss, a man dragged him roughly to his knee's. The one who had the shotgun came forward and grabbed him by the chin to get his attention.

" Thomas Predescu Stitch, by the authority of the Arch mage council, I hereby place you under arrest for the murder of Archmage Perrault. You will be brought before the council in New Eldorado and put on trial."

Without waiting for a response he turned the gun around and smashed the butt of it into Tommy's face, knocking him out. The joys of police brutality. The man with the shotgun then turned to another one who had pulled himself out of a tree, handing him a note.

"Go to the Promenade, put this note somewhere the rest of the Society of Justice will see it." He commanded in a gravelly tone. The took the note and disappeared into the forest, meanwhile the rest picked Tommy up and dragged him to car, locking him in the back seat. The other arrived at the Promenade before anyone had awaken, leaving a note on the table:

 There's some family business that came up, I'll be gone for a few days and I won't have any Cell-phone service.

Spoiler: OOC

Just found out my friends appendix burst so I'm heading to the hospital to see him. Will resume my normal schedule tomorrow, sorry for any inconveniences this may cause

 

[blaze96]

Richard walked downstairs and saw Garrus awake. He walked into the lounge on his way to the kitchen to see a note on the table. He picked it up and read it before walking over to Garrus.

"You know anything about this? Seems strange that he would leave on such short notice for family affairs, especially considering he said I was going to meet his father. I'm only telling you because he mentioned you already knowing about him." Richard asked.

Spoiler: OOC

I send my best wishes to the friend and hope they get well soon.

 

[tsatoma]

Spoiler: OOC

Hope your friend is okay Quad.

"No actually," Garrus said with surprise, taking a look at the note. "Didn't even notice it. Maybe something did come up, something magical. Who knows how things work with them?" Garrus asked, curious about the note, "It's not like there is much we could do anyways."
