The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[CounterAttack]

Katie was seated between Jason and Lucille, in truth a little apprehensive about what was to come. An all-out war between the Society and the armoured suits... and that was just in Nova City. For all she knew, the team could be shipped off to somewhere completely alien to her in order to fight. Suddenly she realised what it must be like to be in the army. But then she thought back to watching TV and reading books. Anything of importance, such as where the biggest attacks took place, were usually in or near the protagonists' home town. Katie took comfort from the old cliches.

She shot a sideways look at Jason, but decided not to inquire as to why the soldier left them alone. Instead she reached over and gently squeezed his hand, more to comfort him than for her own sake. He would need all the comforting he could get once Katie talked to him about her intent. That would have to be after the war was over. The new development had forced her to change her plans.

Alister followed Garrus out to greet Tommy.

"Good to see you're back. Took your sweet time with your family though; could have given us a call, or something."

Richard heard everyone welcoming Tommy but stayed in the conference room. He didn't know which phone the base commander would call with confirmation that Katie and her family had arrived, and it was one call he didn't want to miss.

The AC130 had landed with troops and equipment being unloaded as quickly as possible while still being safe about it. As the group walked down the ramp a uniformed officer walked over to them before giving a short greeting and introducing himself.

"I'm Captain Connors, if you two will please follow me we can get you to your quarters before showing you around the facility." He said to Katie's parents before continuing.

"It isn't often we have guests of the president, especially civilians, we will do our best to make you comfortable and keep you safe in these troubling times." He then looked to Katie and Jason.

"You two can remain in the plane, it will be returning to the its station in Nova City soon." With that he turned on his heel and immediately began walking away with Katie's parents following them nervously.

Some time later they arrived back in Nova City, walking down the ramp one last time with another SUV already waiting for them.

Tommy waved hello to everyone and then brushed some rubble off of his shoulder. He located a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled something down in large letters, then held it so everyone could see.

 So are we calling getting captured, put on trial for murder, and breaking out of a prison "family business" now?

 

[tsatoma]

"Holy shit, that's what happened to you?" Garrus said with surprise as he read the note. "Hell man, what happened? You wanna tell us...oh but it's about 'family business' so you probably don't want to talk to...yeah," Garrus coughed, trying to get his point across.

 

[CJ1145]

"So you were kidnapped, then? I knew something was up with that note." Alister said, a rather puzzled look on his face. "Garrus, I don't mean to be rude, but I feel I should mention... I totally called it."

Jason made sure to give Katie's parents one last wave before they were escorted onto the plane. The ride back to the city was a brief one. As the SUV made it back to the city, Jason had a realization.

"Hey, can you stop at the Horizion park? I left my car over there, and I kinda need to get it." Jason asked.

 

[Captainguy42]

 Screw it, the cat's out of the bag, the Archmage's know I'm working with the Society, so there's no need to pretend, and I bet Dona already knows, cheeky mindreader that she is.

Tommy sat down and wrote a summary of his adventures.

 A man named Perrault was killed recently, he was considered one of the most powerful living wizards in the worlds, by the way magic is real, unicorns exist, and Elvis is living in a motel in Georgia with Tupac and Michael Jackson.  Well he was knocked off and the killer framed me, they snatched me early in the morning, took me New El Dorado, it's a city of magic people. Beat me up then locked me up. I gave Leland a pyscic phone call, he busted me out, and now I'm back here.

 

[tsatoma]

Garrus was silent, his eyebrows slightly raised as he read the story. "Well damn man, sounds like you had a great time. My brother helped you out? Wouldn't have expected that from him, guess he is turning out a bit better than I thought he would," Garrus said with a smile, patting Tommy on the shoulder, "Glad to see you're back though. We'll need you if things start going to the shitter here."

 

[CJ1145]

Alister read the note with curiosity on his face. "Well, welcome back Tommy, but I feel I need to ask; are you guys responsible for the Holy Grail, or is that just an old legend?"

 

[Captainguy42]

 Leland's a good guy, I think he might be a little mixed up with what he wants to do with his life. Anyways what's the situation?

Tommy got up and walked over to the sink, he washed the stone dust off his face and drank some water. He also gave a note to Connor,

I don't know, so much weird shit happens I can't tell what has really happened and what hasn't.

 

[tsatoma]

Garrus nodded at that, following Tommy as he explained, "Well Rich basically put all the world leaders on 'War Alert'. Patriot gave a speech and now we're waiting for the next move basically. It's making everyone anxious, not knowing who our enemy is or when they'll strike."

 

[CJ1145]

Alister suddenly jerked as if remembering something.

"I just remembered something I probably should have told you Garrus. An old villain I used to fight with, Mel, came to town earlier today. He's in police custody right now, but the guy uses metal prosthetic limbs that give him increased strength. The man can crush a SWAT truck. So yeah, just thought I should bring that up on the side."

He suddenly clutched the sides of his head. "I think... I think I need coffee." He jolted out of the room towards the kitchen.

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy stuck his index finger in the air and twirled it around.

 War declarations, getting framed, and cyborgs, this day just get's better and better. So Garrus are we going to make a move or are we going to wait, because honestly that hasn't been working for us so well.

 

[tsatoma]

"I'll keep that in mind Alister, but if he tries to break out one of our own is working over there so it should be alright. If not then we'll just have to deal with it," Garrus told him, making a mental note to check in with Cillian every once in awhile.

He turned to Tommy and nodded. "Yeah, I guess today hasn't been that great for you. As much as I hate to say it we might just have to wait for them. Unless Richard gets word of something or figures something out that will allow us to know where to go to. If not, then we wait. Try to minimalize the damage and take them out."

 

[blaze96]

The driver apologized before saying he had to take them both back to the Promenade and was under strict orders not to stop anywhere else. He took them straight back to the Promenade after calling Richard who arranged to have it delivered. He decided to walk out to where everyone else was.

"Hello again Tommy, matter resolved I take it?"

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy covered his face and leaned back, then he gave Garrus another note.

 Garrus we can't keep playing the game one step behind.  We waited around and the earthquake happened, then we lost the blueprints, we waited again, and we lost the codes. Everytime we wait we get farther behind, sooner or later we're not going to be able to stop whoever is doing this.

He turned to Richard, and waved, then cycled through some of his old notes and handed them to Richard so he could get caught up the convienence of having everything on paper.

 

[tsatoma]

"I know that Tommy. But, what can we do? We don't know who our enemy is, just that they have a massive army and that they've been evading not just us, but the Union too! What do you suggest we do if I might ask?" Garrus asked Tommy, looking at Richard and saying, "Gotten anything yet?"
