The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[CounterAttack]

Katie smiled at the explanation, and answered his question with one of her own, "How stern was your family? That way I can compare them to mine before giving you an answer." Her smile became a little warmer. As she spoke, she examined a couple of styles of high-heeled shoes, but decided against them as they would be impractical, both in her new home and on the job.

Down the hall from the shoe store that Katie and Jason were passing, in the men's clothing store, Tommy Stitch AKA [color= Brown]Golem[/color], was trying to pick a dress shirt for his first meeting with the SOCIETY OF JUSTICE!

Off-white or wintery cream...

Tommy thought holding the two nearly identical shirts infront of him while looking into the mirror.

The attendent said Wintery cream brought out my eyes, but the other one said I'm a winter skin tone and off-white is a winter color and wintery cream isn't. Which really doesn't make any sense, shouldn't something called wintery cream be a winter color? Well, I'll go with off-white, no wintery cream, no off-white, no wintery cream, I should really go with it, I don't want them to think my eyes are dull. Besides who can tell the difference... unless one of them has super color matching powers... No that's ridiculous, who ever heard of super color matching powers?... Well then again who ever heard of having the proportional powers of a spider?... Shit I should really go with off-white, but what about my eyes?!

As Tommy stood their paralyzed by indecision, he was completly oblivious to alarm that had gone off. What had cause the alarm was four armed men trying to rob the mall's bank, they failed to predict the bank's tellers would be protected from such straight forward attempts and were now running in panic to escape. One of the robbers, a seven foot tall former body builder, suggested taking hostages to use as bargaining chips. Looking around he saw most of the shoppers were already too far away, the only one close enough was Tommy, who was still trying to decide on a shirt. The robber grabbed Tommy and dragged him out into the hall while nesting a large handgun in Tommy's ear. Tommy now completely bewildered (and still holding onto the shirts), looked around to see what was happening, when he saw the gun he could suddenly care less about the shirts and began whimpering pitifully.

"Look kid, I don't like this either, just do what I say and you won't get hurt." Said the Robber to Tommy, who nodded eagerly, not wanting to test if his ear-drum was bullet-proof.

Spoiler: Hello

Greeting everyone! I look forward to roleplaying with all of you in the future. If you want to see Tommy's sheet it's already on the OP, but in short he's a brawn hero who gets his powers from magic, he also doesn't talk much.

"Aw c'mon, I asked you first!" Jason said jokingly, chuckling a bit.

"Well...Mom was a very strict lady, but I always knew that she only wanted what was best for me." He said, trying on a pair of hightops.

"As for my father...I never got to see him much. The guy was pretty important as far as I know, so I understood that he wouldn't be able to see me grow." He added as he put the sneakers back in their box, completely unaware of what was occuring down the hall.

 

[Captainguy42]

Wait, what are you doing? You can take this guy with one hand. Tommy remembered after composing himself. Yes, but then you would reveal that your a super-hero, completely screwing your secret identity. Guhh... Alright what are my options, 1) Kick the robbers ass (already shot down), 2) Run away and hope the robber doesn't hit you (unlikely), 3) Act terrified and wait for help (Probably my best choice for now).

With that Tommy promplty lost his composure again and started to whimper, somewhat loudly to, hopeing to get someone's attention.

 

[CounterAttack]

Katie nodded in sympathy and was about to speak when alarms blared and people started running everywhere. "What the hell?" she cried, seeing a hulking monstrosity of a man dragging someone out into the open. To top it off, the man was armed, a heavy pistol aimed at his victim's head.

In the confusion, no-one but Jason would have noticed Katie steal a flower from a nearby vase. She returned to Jason and said, "You see that huge guy with the hostage? Think we can take him?"

She started running over options: she didn't have her blade, but it would have been useless if the man blew his victim's brains across the floor. Weaving plant-based armour for herself seemed to be the best idea, especially if she worked quickly. Maybe vines as well, to pluck the gun from the guy's hand before he had a chance to shoot.

"Hey doc! You in here? I got a question for you"

Simon called out as he wandered back into the Promande

 

[Pm0n3y]

"Eh, he doesn't look like much of a challenge. But there's too many people around for me to change...and I really can't risk revealing it..." He told her quietly, looking around the store, thinking of an idea.

Then his eyes affixed on a nearby door: it was labeled "The Storage Room". Jason stood close to Katie, and began to whisper sweet nothings in her ear.

"Alright, I got a plan. See that door over there?" he whispered, discreetly pointing at the door.

"It's where they store all the sneakers and stuff. Chances are, there should a exit back there as well. I say we sneak out that exit, drop these bags off, change, then come in through another exit. Sounds good?" He said quietly.

 

[Captainguy42]

The robber continued to push Tommy down the hall towards the exit, the hall was mostly empty now as people ran for their lives. Tommy was busy deciding which hero he would want to have rescue him.

Hmm, maybe Patriot Punch? I mean everyone says it's really awesome to get saved by him, always a lot of action and heroic speeches involved, but seriously he's saved so many people I'd just be one in what? Thousands? Millions even? Hmm, Blue Steel? Well he's up and coming and what not, and how cool would it be to say I was one of the first people he ever saved, but I am suppose to be working with him soon so it might give him a bad impression... Oh! What about Anaconda! Tommy smiled slightly as he remembered the Brazilian super-model turned super-stretching superhero. Ya who wouldn't want to be saved by her, but doesn't she only work in Brazil? Well I can dream can't I? Alright superheroes I want to be saved by right now: 1)Anaconda (cause she is haaawwt!, 2) Blue Steel, 3) Patriot Punch. alright sounds good.

Snapping out of his thoughts he looked around, they passing through the food courts now, and it didn't sound like any help had arrived yet.

 

[CounterAttack]

"Let's go," Katie answered, already moving towards the door. The two were unseen by many, who were either fixated on the hostage situation, or fleeing in terror. The door was ajar, and she slipped inside the storage room. She hid behind the door, and began to concentrate on the flower in her hand. In response, it sprouted roots, and they began to wrap themselves around Katie's waist, occasionally dividing and creating new offshoots.

Katie began to mentally order the plant to grow even larger roots, and it responded. Twigs erupted from them and grew into tough, but malleable branches. The plant was about halfway towards completely covering her body, now working on developing "armour" for her arms and legs.

 

[Pm0n3y]

Jason watched ever so carefully as Katie's plant armor formed. Then he began to search the room for an exit. And sure enough, there was one, opposite from the door leading into the store. Jason peered his head out of the door. There was no one around, and it lead straight to the parking lot. Even better, the Ferrari was a few feet away.

"Hm. I'm surprized no one stole it." He said before turning to Katie.

"Alright, stay here. I'll make this quick." He said, taking the bag from her before rushing out the door, making a beeline straight for the car.

He approached the car in a matter of seconds, quickly popping the trunk and throwing the bags in, while throwing off the shirt and sweatpants (and NO underclothes), with his armor forming the entire time. Once the transformation had completed, he leaped towards the door, landing directly in front of it and opening it.

"C'mon Katie, we gotta find another exit; one that's closer to the robber." Jason said to her.

 

[CounterAttack]

Katie accelerated her process as Jason changed, enclosing her body in a protective shell. Her arms and legs were fully wrapped in roots; vines sprang from the ends of her hands to use in a fight, if necessary. A tendril began to cover her head, to ensure she didn't take a bullet and die on her first real mission. It left her eyes and nostrils free, so she could see and breathe. Otherwise, she was now completely encased in her plant armour.

"You're right, we should hurry," she said, her voice a little muffled. "Did you see where he was going?"

 

[Souldemon8]

Aaron eventually touched down back in Nova city. He awoke from cryogenic sleep felling refreshed. He needed away to vent and try to forget what happened back in Italy. He was on his way home flipping through radio stations when he came across a news station. It was reporting a robbery at the Horizon mall. Aaron quickly hopped on the park way and made his way to the mall.

When he got to the scene it was pure chaos. There was S.W.A.T surrounding the mall. Citizens where fleeing all around the parking lot. There wasn't any way he could get in unnoticed. He circled the mall trying to find a way in until he got an idea. He parked the Ferrari a couple of blocks away from the mall and froze over.

He grabbed a couple of bottles of water from the car and started to run as fast as he could down the street. He quickly froze the street in front of him and started to slide. He eventually pulled up and was sliding over the ground.

Aaron chuckled to himself,"...to think Garrus said a ice slide was a bad idea."

Aaron made his way toward the mall.

 

[Pm0n3y]

"Yeah. He wasn't that far away from the sneaker store. I saw him head towards the food court, and that's practically in front of the back entrance. For some (convenient) reason, there's no S.W.A.T back there. So, We sneak in through there, discreetly kick his ass, save the hostage, and go home." Jason casually says to Katie while trotting towards the back entrance.

 

[CounterAttack]

"Jason, wait!" Katie called, hurrying after him. "If he sees us, he'll shoot." She came up with an impromptu plan, and said, "We've got to take a more stealthy approach. You distract him at the front entrance, while I sneak around behind him and try to get his gun out of the picture." Without waiting for a response, she turned and hurried back to the door they had come from, slipping through it and back into the sneaker store.

 

[Souldemon8]

As Aaron got closer to the mall he noticed someone trying to sneak into the back. When he got a closer look he noticed the person was covered in vines. He realized it was probably Katie. Aaron thought more of the team would be here. He silently landed on the roof and looked through the skylight. He wasn't going to jump in just yet. He would enjoy watching what how the others would handle this.

 

[Pm0n3y]

"O...kay..?"

She was gone before he could properly reply. He shrugged and went with the plan, making his way towards the front entrance. Once the police and S.W.A.T were aware of his presence, they quietly and respectably moved out of his way. One of the police began to debrief him on the situation, but Jason politely shushed him.

"I already know of the problem, and I am on my way to solve it." He said in a triumphant voice before heading into the front entrance. Once he stepped inside, he quickly spotted the problem. And the problem quickly spotted him.

"Okay sir, let's be reasonable folk here. You don't want to kill that guy, I don't want to dice you into little chunks. Think we can come to an agreement here?" Jason said, slowly approaching the giant guy. In response, the musclebound miscreant shot at Jason.

"F-fuck you! I ain't afraid of no superhero!" He replied with obvious fear in his voice.

The bullet quickly ricocheted off of Jason, leaving a usual blue crack in it's wake. And yet, calmly, Jason still walked towards the guy.

"You're not afraid? why not? you've just witnessed the fact that mere bullets can't kill me." Jason said confidently.

"T-they might not kill you, b-but they'll make short work of the pipsqueak h-here!" The guy said, beginning to point the gun at the hostage.

"Katie...hurry up..." He thought to himself.

 

[CounterAttack]

Katie ran around to the food court, ignoring the occasional gasp from a civilian at her appearance. She sneaked around the huge guy while he was preoccupied, his eyes locked on Jason. As he fired, Katie took a small gasp of fear, but the shot had little effect on Jason/Erebus. Katie cautiously crept up behind the guy, careful not to make a sound.

"T-they might not kill you, b-but they'll make short work of the pipsqueak h-here!" The guy was clearly nervous, but that was to be expected; Jason looked intimidating with his armour's mask.

Katie reached out with both hands towards the guy and the vines extended, reaching for his gun and his face. They moved fast, one hand's plant covering his mouth to prevent him crying out, the other quickly wrenching his gun arm away from his hostage.

But she wasn't fast enough. On a reflex action to her grabbing the guy's wrist, he squeezed the trigger. A single shot rang out, Katie's eyes widened in sudden shock - she hadn't been expecting the gun to go off - and she instantly wondered if she had made a terrible mistake.

 

[Pm0n3y]

The gunshot made Jason's heart jump. He began to race towards Katie and the problem.

"Shit, shit, shit! Don't be dead, don't be dead, don't be dead..." He kept repeating he approached them.

 

[Souldemon8]

Aaron had no idea what was going om. Though he heard a gun shot. Then out of no where he notice Jason in his suit running towards the back of the mall.

 

[Birras]

Birras rolled up to Simon, "Ah, Mr. Anderson. I've been expecting you. What do you need?"
