Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hoyle

Some people just don't understand my sense of humor...

Hoyle was in her hideout, lazing on one of her absurdly plushy couches. Flipping channels on her large tv in boredom, she was dressed in fuzzy red jammies with prints of black diamonds, her hair down and free of makeup and clown faced slippers on her feet.

However her look completely changed when the news channel started showing live footage of smoke and fire, the captions at the bottom saying, "Another bombing in Gotham, Attack at the 302nd Precinct and Unknown assailants Terrorizing Gothams finest." Nearly spitting out the coffee she had been sipping, she sits forward and turns the volume way up.

Pulling a bowl of popcorn from seemingly nowhere, she sits at the edge of her seat, engulfed in the activity on the screen. A man in a hoodie waves up at the camera, clearly in the middle of things and not at all bothered by it. She knew in an instant that this was the one responsible and her heart fluttered. Hoyle knew that she wasn't the only one to see the dire straights that Gotham had decayed into. She wasn't the only one brave enough to take action.

"I wonder what he'll do next," she murmured as she stuffed the puffy kernels in her mouth. From the sounds of things, he likes to make a statement. The real question now is how he'll respond when the Police gather themselves from the shock and begin to counter. It would also be interesting to know if any heroes decided to chance stepping in, knowing that they would be as much a target, if not more.

...But then those are the people I tend to blow up.

Cornelius

Looking at his wrist and dropping the picture to the ground he started to reach into his pocket pulling out a tablet. If one had seen what was on it, it would show various camera views around the area and including the evacuation and barrier that had been built. "Oh goody, the popo is here with their super powered freaks!" He says excitedly to his few henchmen that are around him. They nodded in agreement with a few chuckles and started to take cover shooting at those that were coming through the barrier starting with the one who made it first. The plan was simple, take out as many police as possible and then grab the money and drugs they hold in their hold room as to distribute to the men,.. Well, that is what Cornelius told them anyways.

Cornelius tapped on the the tablet a couple times before tossing it aside and striding towards the bus that was still taking fire. Most of the men inside it originally were dead, but some got off and pushed back through the cops and were now running through the police station looking for the money and drugs. Cornelius opened the back door to the bus and grabbed a large bag from it with a grin on his face. He seemed to be out of sink with the scene going on around him as everyone in their skull masks except him had all started their plan, but he was just doing as he pleased on the center of this stage.

Pulling a rocket launcher out of the bag he readies it and loads a round in to the end of it aiming towards the news helicopter. "AAAAAaaannnnd.. ACTION!!!" He fired the rocket at the helicopter and starts to laugh as it causes him to fall on to his but watching it fly towards the aircraft. Just before reaching the helicopter though the missile was sent off course by an unknown force and sent in to one of the buildings causing debris to fall on to a blown up car.

Jason

Jason barely made it. He had caught up to his friend Malik, jumped through the wall taking cover and noticed the most popular man in the middle holding a cylindrical object and then it fired. He was able to use his powers, but from that distance and the men shooting at him it was hard to pull the rocket away. He breathed a sigh of relief as the helicopter started to fly higher and away from the scene. He looked over and over the gunfire yelled "WHERE IS SHERLEY! YOU'D THINK THE BEST FEMALE DETECTIVE IN GOTHAM OR MATROPOLIS WOULD BE HERE FOR THIS!" He yelled to him and pulled a gun away from one of the men with his powers and shot back at them.

Detective

"I'm right here lieutenant!" Detective Perry ducked behind the cover of a squad vehicle to better assess the situation and hear the updates being screamed through walki talki's and megaphones. It was near chaos, but at least the police were trained to handle such scenes, unlike the common civilian.

She could already see the evacuation was well under way and the blockade was already in place, in part because of her teammates.

"We can't let them get into the evidence vault," she stated. it was obvious really, almost too much so. All the weapons, drugs and files that held any clout against the villains of the city were stored there. It was tempting, if it wasn't also suicidal.

After relaying her suspicions to a superior, she joined an infiltration squad that was taking one of the side entrances into the building, Perry was determined to make sure that whoever thought up this scheme wasn't going to succeed.

"Malik, Jason. I'm going in. Watch my back will you? And try not to collapse this building on me," she said into the close range blue tooth. The explosions outside were muffled but no less unsettling as it shook the buildings foundations. Dust was everywhere, clouding their vision and forcing the unit to move more slowly through the cubicle offices.

What's the matter?

Weeks later and Danica was feeling good as new. She still did a cat burglary every few days. In fact, that day she was on her way back from one. Funny enough, there weren't any cops around to stop her. Running across the building tops, she idly thought about her latest escapade. It would do nicely, considering it would be supporting her-- a loud explosion interrupted her train of thought as she covered her ears. Looking over the edge of the roof, she saw utter chaos below at the police station. There were exploded cars and gunshots, the works. She shuddered at the sight of police dying where they lay, and sank closer to the floor. Her father had told her stories of Batman's adventures, especially since his mentor was a part of the Justice League alongside the famous hero. This guy reminded her way too much of the Joker.

Shaking the frightening thoughts from her head, she looked up as a news helicopter hovered nearby, trying to cover the panic live. Looking back down, she saw the guy use an RPG, aiming at the helicopter. At the last second, something moved the missile away from the chopper....and straight at the building she was perched upon. "HOLY ********!" She screamed as she tried to scramble to safety. She was too late, as the floors beneath her exploded and the integral structure was compromised. Screaming as she fell, Dani tried to position herself better so that she wouldn't at least die from the fall. Frantically scrambling for ideas, she shot a few bolts downwards, where she anticipated to fall. They destroyed the rubble already be.ow her, turning much of it to dust. A lightbulb went off in her head, and she watched her approach to the ground with intense concentration. If I screw this up I'm so dead... Focusing, she sent a huge wave of her power right before she hit the ground, turning the asphalt and rubble to dust. Tucking her body, she managed to angle her landing so that she rolled away, mostly unscathed. However, the momentum from the fall sent her rolling into the nearby ditch.

Coughing, she brushed some of the dust off of her. "Man, it's ruined. It'll take a fortune to get all of this s**t out of this outfit....and I really liked this too." Dani moaned, taking in the damage to her wardrobe. Looking over, she was surprised to see a particular character not that far off from her. "What are you doing here, techie?" She called out, but scrambled over to, she sure he was alright. She currently had no idea if he was working with that madman up above, but judging how he had tried to turn her in for robbing a bank, she hazarded a guess that he was trying to help. Waving her hand in front of where she believed his face was, she did her best to try and awaken him.

Afraid of a little bad luck?

Cornelius

"Oh? What is this? Look here kiddies we have someone wanting to take on our beloved juggernaught! Well if all you have is speed my spunky little hero, you will need more than that to take on him." Cornelius says towards Flare, reaching his hands behind his back as though he was stretching. "Bane, don't worry the money is already in your account, I will be taking my leave now my friend, but not before the fireworks." He says confidently turning towards the three in the ditch.

"Ah, Black Market and two little friends, wow you sure have a possy dontcha! To think I brought so many guests to meet you when I should have brought more, who knew the cops and you would be in cahoots!~" He says with a laugh pulling out a small tube from out of nowhere in front of him. In all reality, he was just hiding the small launcher in his jacket and dropped it through his sleeves, but to none the wiser it looked like magic. Firing the launcher it impacted the shield causing a small smoke to appear.

Black Market

Black market was awake again and lifted his head up to see not only Ciel, but Black Cat as well inside what seemed to be a shield. Looking up he saw through the clearing smoke a deranged lunatic and an colossal giant of a man fighting a woman. "Great..." No time to hesitate knowing the cops are slowly moving in he got up and looked towards the police "Ciel, we need a distraction, Black Cat, can I trust you to give support to either one of us three? If need be?" He asked having an energy pistol appear in his hand as he ran towards Cornelius. He didn't know if she would even stay to help, but he doubted she would attack. Bane and Cornelius were the real threats, but they had to worry about the police and hope that Ciel could hold them back so that they would not capture them as well as the villains.

Jason

Jason had finally pushed forward enough to catch up with Detective Perry and started to cover her back, they only had five other officers able to enter the building with them to try and secure it making this a seven man team in a building overrun with hostiles. "To think that this would have happened..." He says covering hiding spots as shouts can be heard in the direct room ahead. "Alright detective we are on your lead."

The police holding the square perimeter had started moving towards the heroes and villains hoping to capture BM, BC, and SW while authorized to take out Cornelius and Bane. "Men... Let's move in." A sergeants voice rang out over the comms.

Flare



Davinity wasted no time in going on the offense. She heard rather than saw the shield go up and the missile hit it, but those people were either dead, or saved by their own means for Flare had no time to divert to a late rescue.

"Hiyaa!"

Instead she focused primarily on bane, bombarding him with punches and kicks while easily dodging his counters. Brutes were not the hardest opponents, she had found, merely persistent and stubborn. She wondered just how many hits this one could handle before falling like all the rest.

She also knew that this particular brute was serving as a wall between anyone trying to stop the one with the real firepower. A puny barrier indeed, when confronted with true firepower. No matter, she'd get to the talker soon enough. As she thought this, her punches became more fierce, so much so that bursts of flame would shoot out on impact.

As Flare bombarded him with hits he would guard where he could, but her speed made it too difficult to actually counnter. Even though the hits were speedy they weren't able to land too ig of blows as his super strength and bulk made it hard for most blows to do any good. He got a good guess as to where she was going to hit by how many times she kept hitting him and used it to grab her finally. Picking her up with on hand he punched her in the gut and then slammed her head first in to the ground causing a dust cloud to envelope.



Coming out of the smoke from the blast Black Market came swinging by punching Cornelius in the gut with pistol in tow and then fired straight in to his chest. He knew enough about his calibrated weapons that it wasn't going to kill him expecting a bullet proof vest to be on, but it sent the man realing back into the bus about halfway through with a great concussion. Black Market climbed up in to the bus and slowly walked towards the downed enemy. He seemed immobile, but who knew what this man was capable of or had planned.



As Cornelius went flying a group of armed men surrounded Black Cat and Shadow Walker from all sides, apparently this was all that was left from his group of raiders as most of the twentyish men had been defeated. Firing in unison it seemed, they were trying to get their attention off of their boss and leave the fight between him and Black Market. Cornelius was lying pinned on a chair and looked up at the incoming for with a bloodied smile that he got when he caughed up some blood from the discharge. "I love it when you give me sugar." He says squeezing a button in hand causing the back end of the bus where Black Market was to explode sending him forward towards Cornelius. When close enough Cornelius pulled up a sawed off shotgun and blasted the hero in the chest, sending him straight back into a dead stop on the ground.



After clearing what remained of the intruders from the police station, now in ruins and partly on fire and looked around one last time before hearing a loud explosion go off from the front. "That was probably the main man. Let's move in and nab him, I am sure the other stations have a perimeter set Detective." He says looking over at her and takes a step forward, but waits on her call to take the lead as she was technically in charge and he didn't want anymore casualties.
