[Augustus smiles and leans back in his chair.]

Of course you can. What do you need?

[sociallyawkward]

Wow, you're prepared for anything, aren't you? [ A red marker, too? How many different parts does he have? ] That's so cool... [ Ruby, you've said that like eight times. ]

[number1_kerbal]

We're doing this 'masked' right? So I don't have to take the helmet off and reveal my identity, yada, yada. But I don't really have anything more casual and superheroic so. Spacesuit it is! I wore this thing as a lark at first, but it's a pain in the neck sometimes.

[usedrapidspin]

[Rubbing the back of his neck, the fox walks over to the desk.]

Well, in class we got assigned a report on our...parents.

[saxappeal]

Glad ya think so, Ruby. A hero's gotta be ready for whatever comes his way, be it a supervillain or a superfan. [Hey, at least he's amused by the whole thing. Being a cop never got him this sort of recognition.]

1 - still setting up icons

[zerotodoro]

[The Turtle Titan was not the only hero - or even non-mammalian hero patrolling the city tonight. Dororo was making a sweep of the city for hostile alien forces.

After some point - the Keronian spotted Mikey and springs down in front of him. He has his arms folded over his chest, eyes half-closed, with how serious he looks, one would expect a reed pipe to be playing somewhere off distance]

Hold on Stranger! Might I ask what you are doing on this night?

[getoutofmylab]

Ah, it's... whatever you're comfortable with. It is worth noting, however, that I take my patient confidentiality agreements very seriously.

[ He scribbles some notes down briefly, and then looks up, tapping his pen against his chin in thought. ]

The stress of leading a double-life can cause more psychological distress than may be immediately obvious. Thus, the main purpose behind this is to speak to a qualified professional who is in a similar situation. So please do not be alarmed if the topic of your more, ah... mundane life comes up.

[number1_kerbal]

Well, I wouldn't say that this all is mentally stressful. Aside from the whole...not being sure if i can die anymore or not. But yeah, ask away. Just don't be surprised if I keep this a little vauge. Need to know, and all that.

[i_am_vengeance]

[He's got other things on his mind right now than starstruck magical girls, or thanks. The grapple line pulls the two of them up and over the edge of a rooftop, where he lands in a crouch just ahead of a few parting plasma shots. The bolts of superheated energy strike the roof just behind them and he quickly drapes his cape around Peace, shielding the both of them from the rain of burnt rock and steel that fall around them.

The attack only lasts a few seconds before stopping abruptly and he raises his head. No pursuit. Either the Deviobots aren't programmed to do so, or the two of them aren't considered a threat. Either way... their mistake.]

Are you alright?

[He stands up, disengaging the grapple claw and reeling it back into the launcher as he does. The question is... really more of a gruff assessment of the situation than anything else.]

[i_am_vengeance]

[Since when does he not know something? What he knows is that even with Superman on the scene, the Omegafriends are outnumbered. Badly. They could spend all day tearing through robots and barely change that fact... so he'd shifted his focus.]

Judging by their response time, whatever's controlling them must be transmitting from within the city. If I can hack the signal, I should be able to trace it back to its source but I'll need access to one that's still online.

[In other words, they need to take one of these things alive.]

That's the bad news.

[omnitrixter]

"I dunno. I usually don't let people touch it. Transforming into a random alien would kinda blow my secret identity," Ben admitted.

[fromthesamecloth]

Yeah, and it was a private conversation. Don't ask.

This is why I suggested going home, Ryuko.

Later, okay? Jeez!

[fromthesamecloth]

[Ryuko throws her arms up in front of her exposed face, letting her outfit deflect the beams.]

Ngh! You're not on their side, why aren't they shooting at you?

[Don't answer that, or at least not right off. She's not gonna hear you while she charges the stragglers and loudly hacks them to pieces, anyway.]

Re: 1

[sonicheart]

[As the beam passes Silverwing's path, Lori ducks, her land sliding out and a quick wave of focused sound knocking the dancing robot over.]

With this many at once?! I'm a support, that's what I-

[Wait. These ones are less stable. Catch one in mid-step with a shockwave too fast for it to handle... And it drops.]

Hrm.

Re: 1

[scrapperzen]

Now you're getting the hang of it!

I'll set 'em up, you knock 'em down!

[Silverwing ducks through another line of robots, casting hexes about like it was going out of style, and occasionally striking out with her blade at exposed wiring and joints.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[1]

[Now this is what he was talking about! It'd felt like forever since 'Jackson' had put on the old suit--and by 'forever' we mean a few days. Still, when you're so used to wearing it...

No matter, there's action to be had!

Which means a man (or what looks like one) encased in robotic armor is dashing across the city, pretty agile considering all the metal, fists at the ready to take on some Deviobots. He's up for teamwork...if you can catch him!]

[3]

[Whoever signed him up for this mission clearly didn't know who he was. When it came to stealth, he wasn't exactly on the top ten list. In fact, he probably didn't make the top 50. But here he is, trying to track down this 'Lady Blue' by tailing her through some alleys, robotic armor and all.

Probably not the most subtle...but you know.]

[bemoreflexible]

[The woman was bending over to pick up a trapped child when you addressed her, so her face wasn't immediately visible. When she stands up and faces you though, her face is not a happy one.]

"Bob?
This isn't even close to the bowling alley!"

Fran Madaraki | Franken Fran

[For one reason or another, you've found yourself in the offices of one Fran Madaraki, known more formally among the super community as Suture. And by offices I mean her tea room, since being based out of that spooky old mansion up on the hill doesn't make for a solid medical atmosphere.

Maybe that laser ray was just a little too close for comfort, or you just really want a gorilla arm grafted to your chest for completely innocent reasons. Either way, you're here now and she's more than willing to fill whatever obscure medical niche you might want for a nominal fee.]

I'm glad you could make it. So, tell me. [She pauses, lightly sipping her tea.] What was it you wanted~

4

[While not strictly an Omegafriend, Fran is a semi-trustworthy affiliate and she's gained a reputation for operating on Supers, even if it's sometimes on those of the villainous persuasion. Either way, she's been known to make the occasionally house call to Omegabase, whether to keep the medical facilities up-to-date or help patch up folks injured in the line of duty.

But for now? Now she's just sightseeing. More specifically, she's taking in the VR setup. Not actually using it, mind you, just looking over the equipment.]

It seems a little inefficient, don't you think?

[Said to nobody in particular.]

1

[robotfightclub]

[Right. Teamwork. That's totally the definition of teamwork, running out ahead without a plan in mind. Well, okay, maybe that plan was RUN OUT AHEAD, but she has a feeling he didn't think of much beyond that.

That's why when he runs into that swarm of robots, she finds herself having to pick off the ones leaping at him from behind. A good kick sends one flying over his head, her own special way of letting him know she's here.]

You owe me.

[You know what's more fun than a guy in a robot suit? Two people in robot suits.]

[bigsuou]

[Katsuya doesn't normally go for burgers--normally he's at home, cooking something himself. This afternoon's a bit different, though.

He takes a seat at the counter, giving Bob a polite smile.] Do you have anything you'd particularly recommend? This is my first time here...

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[She'd be right on his mentality on what the plan was--but he also has a dash of gut-instinct mixed in. Strategy wasn't exactly his forte, preferring the tried-and-true method of just rushing in, guns (literal and figurative) blazing.


When he sees the robot fly over him, he can feel a little bit of pride swelling. That gut instinct? It was that.]

Eh, I had a feelin' you'd watch my back.

[Or you're just lucky your partner's actually competent.]

[bigsuou]

[... Sergeant Katsuya Suou is so done. So done. Except not really, since he's still on-duty.

He just heaves a sigh as he makes his way over to Vimes.] And it looks like those clues are all we have to go on for now, sir. No witnesses this time. Again.

4 - Fellow patchwork doctors unite?

[andhookers]

If it prevents more of them ending up in the medical facilities I say it's efficient enough, Miss.

[Black Jack may not have much interest in the VR setup, but he had been passing by at the time Fran had spoken about it. And the older doctor has seen the young woman in his own occasional forays into the Omegabase.

So why not strike up a conversation with her?]

Re: psssst... the sphere is a grenade. You're going to want to get out of the way.

[descendsfromshadow]

There's only a handful of things an object like that could possibly be, and she's reasonably sure she doesn't want any of them coming at her. She moves as soon as the sphere rolls over the edge, leaving behind one of her Shadows as she darts away to get behind the cover of another large gear.

[chirurgical]

[Fran doesn't actually bother looking his way, too engrossed in the facilities to spare that much attention, but she vaguely recognizes the voice. She gives a small shrug.]

Just offering my opinion. Direct physical interaction is just such a drain on energy and resources when there's more efficient avenues for this sort of thing.

[And whoops, there goes her train of thought. You can practically see the gears turning in her head as something probably irredeemably awful starts to take shape.]
