- Blacklist -
"I'm glad Nimbus was able to touch ground with you. My name is Blacklist, although by now codenames wouldn't do much in the ways of hiding who I am. License plates can be tracked back to me, and you already know my face. Anyways, it's an honor to meet you. You're really banged up, I'll get you to The Tower pronto. Rest easy." Riya warmly replied to the weary hero. As she approached The Tower, she noticed the traffic had becoming thicker and slower. - The Zap -
Ahead of Riya's vehicle was a group of Tower staff tending to The Zap, who had been described by witnesses as a "man who had seemingly come out of thin air" and then brutally slid a couple dozen feet to the front of the Tower's entrance pavilion. - Nimbus -
Nimbus approached Lady Magnet by flying down to her location in his drenched, damaged outfit. He desperately needed a change of costume, his bare skin could be seen from the wet, blood-stained tears. His helmet was damaged as well, with watery and cracked lenses on his embedded goggles. The ring on his back now looked like a pair of asymmetrical wings. "Miss, I am Nimbus. Hero. You?" - Sin Shaman -
Sin Shaman continued to meditate, sifting her fragmented consciousness to focal points within the city that resonated to her capacity of detecting spirits and demons. Most spectral unrest within Heartania was at the prison, which was currently haunted, and a public Gardens area that took up a lot of space in an urban-business district within Downtown. The spirits in these areas were quite unruly, and Sin Shaman could feel darker demons try to poke at her consciousness as it sifted through the regions.
She'd need to clear this areas out. Or at least eliminate the wardens of these regions, and trap their evil souls for her own purposes. They would make grand chargers for her more devastating rituals or magical covenants, plentiful power that would help quench her desire for artifacts and riches.

- The Knight -
Blake pulled up in the alleyway behind his apartment complex. Dismounting the bike, Blake pressed the button in his collar again; retracting the helmet and condensing the bike back into the form of two silver balls. He picked up the balls and placed them in his pocket. Quickly, Blake entered the building and took the lift to his floor. Entering his apartment, he locked the door instinctively and flicked the light switch. Blake yearn for sleep but knew it would awfully unfair for him to sleep while his colleagues rushed around. However - that being said - there were a few tasks Blake felt he had to carry out at home. Part of being a public hero meant that he couldn't always expect to be in combat while posing as The Knight, and so until a superior power source could be found or made Blake would have to find some clothing to hide his identity while the Knight-1 was deactivated; a traditional hero costume of sorts. It would have to be something thin as to allow the Knight-1 to slide over it, but it would need to be something more than just a mask added to his regular leather jacket; that would hardly disguise his identity. It was then that something in the corner of his eye caught Blake's attention: On a coat hook hung Blake's black, winter coat; a thin matte layer over a thicker layer of fabric, complete with green accents.Grabbing it off of the hook, Blake zipped his thin leather jacket up to the top and threw the winter coat onto himself. Zipping the coat up to bottom of the large, popped collar, he eyed himself in the mirror. It was a start. In the next half hour, Blake invented a new device; a chip to upgrade his Knight Braces as well as it's companion. For lack of a better term he dubbed it the Quick-Change chip. Incorporating it into his left brace - the very same that projected the screen on he often made calls and tinkered with settings - Blake was excited to test the new tech. But first there was the companion device; The Quick-Change Chamber. In the room behind a hidden doorway in his bathroom - something of a large closet - sat the Chamber. Placing the mannequin that he had just purchased on the pedestal of the device, he also dressed the mannequin in a black t-shirt, black trousers and matching dark green leather gloves and boots; the boots laced in black. He attached a black domino mask to the mannequins head, luckily he could power the face disguising mechanism with a very short power supply, the mask was just for style points. This would permanently become part of the Knight outfit, suit or no. Finally produced the coat from earlier, modified to be padded with light armour and to have the V-shape from the front of the Knight-1 emblazoned across the front in green. Since the introduction of Yoggy's second mode for the Knight-1; green had grown on Blake considerably. Blake dressed the mannequin in the coat and zipped the coat up to the bottom of the collar and pulled the rounded, glass door of the device to, sealing the outfit inside. This chamber was simple in concept, but complicated in function. Based on the Knight Brace technology; the chamber analysed the outfit inside of it and - when prompted by the Knight Brace - would project the outfit onto Blake - sort of - replacing the aesthetic of the outfit he would currently be wearing, reversible by another button press. In reality, while the projected outfit could be seen, felt and offered the benefits of the outfit to the wearer - eg: the armour - the projected outfit would not be removable, the clothes reverting to their natural, unprojected form if removed from the user. If this were not the case, Blake could easily turn cheap, grubby clothing into duplicated of any clothing he owned, which would be incredibly unethical, if not impossible. And so - quite pleased with himself - Blake raised his left arm and tapped the proper region of the display, causing his clothes to morph and mishape into the form of his new hero outfit, the mask fading into view last. Seconds passed, and after Blake was done posing to look cool his face broke a large grin of delight. "It worked!" he remarked audibly, celebrating. Tapping his brace again, the outfit morphed back into his civilian clothes, the mask fading away; itself incorporeal unlike the rest of the outfit. Blake took a deep breath and smiled once more. "Oh!" he exclaimed, "One more thing." Removing his Knight Braces, he placed them on his kitchen worktop. From the worktop Blake produced a cable which he went to plug into both Braces before freezing. He remembered; Yoggy. Quickly, Blake disconnected his tablet from the rest of his system and entered secure mode to completely rule out the possibility of infection. Then he plugged in the Braces and pulled up the tablet that the cables lead to. After editing a few lines of code he was done; and the default mode of the Knight-1 featured green elements rather than red, with green being his new favourite colour. And it only took around forty minutes. Blake unplugged his Braces and reattached them to his wrists, the twin devices validating his identity and activating. "Right," he said to himself, "What now?" It was then - as if by magic - Blake received a response: "I'm in the vicinity already, fortunately. Unfortunately, I'm a little tied up in a meeting with the most powerful people I've ever met, so I can't get out right now. I think they've got it covered, though..." "Right." Blake said to himself, almost disappointed.

- Felix Norwood -
Felix looked back and forth between the Broker and the panicking Snorlax while he processed the information. She came looking for me, huh? He glanced at the ticking bomb planted on his shoulder and turned to the Broker with a questioning yet playful facial expression.
"Ride? Horse, bike or hoverboard?"

LHudson | May 1 2015 - The Broker -
Before the Broker could answer, something came crashing down from the roof. It wasn't the police, nor Snowflake and her friend, and it wasn't any of the supers from back home. It was a sword, coming through the roof and landed upright onto the marble ground. Strange.
The Broker took a look at it and stepped closer to inspect it. Large, sharp, and a hilt that's one of a kind. He recognised that hilt, and the realisation hit him like a ton of bricks. "Oh no" he exhaled, before another object came crashing down. Large, metallic,and worst of all relentless.
He took a few seconds to stand up, before taking out his weapon.
The Pursuer had arrived, and he was going to take down all four of them. He started charging, while The Broker started to fire. With one bash The Pursuer knocked The Broker flying into the wall, enough to stagger him, before he started to focus on the other three.

"Oh god," Luke muttered as he watched The Pursuer rushing towards them. Quickly whipping out an arrow and readying it, he tried to focus and fired at The Pursuer. As he did so, he tried to look anywhere in the room where there may be some source of water. - Raven -
Lilly looked around. "Is there anyone in particular, you would like to meet?" She eyed Mr. Ragno.

- Shadow Fixer -
Cooper saw Daniel get pushed back, not too much but enough for Cooper to move. The unfitting dance music was still booming to the point that Cooper couldn't help but wonder when she was going to arrive. After all, she exposed something the Marshal wanted, and could be used as a suitable bargaining chip. The corridors had the black vainness that the warped interpretation of Daniel was excreting, making an almost unbearable sound as he took the steps to go towards where the augmentation technology was developed.
Daniel took notice. Although he was being pushed back, he didn't fail to notice Cooper's escape attempt. He laughed in the almost demonic vocals the Marshal gave him, and proceeded to approach the man.

- Crimson -
"Snow." Crimson said, getting her attention, "On the way I pulled up the plans for the archive building. And unless I'm disastrously wrong, the only reason I could see Broker and his mooks breaking into this place is if they wanted to destroy some files; evidence or something."
"We can breach through the ceiling below us now and enter a room with only an iron shutter between us and Broker's guys. Luckily for us, they already busted up all the security getting in their." he paused for a second, "Now, of course if you were robbing a big place like this you wouldn't mind taking a few hostages...."
Crimson smiled, "But since when did we care about hostages, right?"
"Reaver." Crimson said, activating comms, "You got any breaching charges up there? I know you basically have everything else."
Crimson then turned his attention back to Snowflake, "You're armed. What are you carrying?"

- Hammerfist -
Jason ducked as the ceiling blew in, and watched the Pursuer slam the Broker into the wall. His eyes narrowed- it was time to show why he was here. He stood up and began to advance, walking with the menacing force of a man of his size. As he closed, he grabbed a large piece of rubble and, with a bellow, charged, shooting forwards like a rocket and bringing the boulder down on the foe's helmeted face with the force of a thunderbolt. - Argent Mind -
Argent Mind began to advance more of his thoughts into Cooper, masking the man's consciousness with his own. "Sorry, I'm the only one home." He spat, as Cooper was shrouded by the hero's power. - The Speaker -
Ragno surveyed the donators. An interesting group, to be sure. "Who's your best bet for the biggest payout?" Ragno asked with a warm smile. "And who's the biggest risk?" It was time to socialise, and luckily that was a talent of his. This was going to prove amusing. - Reaver -
"Sure, I got explosives." Reaver replied, watching the screens closely. "You don't need 'em though. That big Pursuer bastard just came rocketing in, leaving a nice hole in the roof. Useful as that is, that means your brother is in there with a psycho-killer with less mercy than me. Better hurry, kids."

Arbor117 | May 1 2015 - The Speaker -
"Oh, my dear girl, reading people is a skill you really must develop. In this world, it's vital." Ragno explained with a jovial wave of his hands. Poor Lilly was seemingly even more out of her depth then he had thought- she had best be careful and learn to swim quickly. The Sharks were swimming ever closer. "Now, let me show you something. See that fine gentleman?" He indicated a man of middling age, standing apart and drinking unusual amounts of champaign. He had dark circles under his eyes, and was a little hunched forwards. "Weight of the world in his shoulders, eh? I would hazard a guess that he's mourning. As you well know, many lives were lost in yesterday's horrific deeds. He's here to see if this venture will provide security to the city. Avoiding what happened to his wife, child or friend happening to others is his goal." Ragno's voice was deep with sympathy as he explained. He then turned nod at a older woman, who too was watching the crowd with a close gaze. "An opportunist, she is. Looking for a chance to get claws into government. They're here because they all want something, my dear. To get their money, you need to make them think you can give it to them. Not all of them will gain what they desire- but you can make them all believe they will. Once you have the money, they're no longer your concern."

LHudson | May 1 2015 - The Pursuer -
An arrow had darted towards The Pursuer, and without another word he clipped it off his shield. He lowered the shield only to be greeted with the much larger criminal and a less large but just as dense piece of concrete. The piece made contact with his helmet and sent The Pursuer tumbling onto the side. Two rolls, and he brought himself back up. "Control, the intel was incorrect. I've got two super's here. One large, strong, and fast, and the other with a bow and arrow, you got an ID?" No response. Not right. The Pursuer removed his helmet only to see the communication device drop out as little tiny pieces. There was no way they could've heard that, and they could also assume the fall caused the damage. No matter, the job will be done regardless. He threw the helmet to the side and locked eyes with the attacker. There was a bomb on his shoulder, the fight shouldn't last long. He readied himself and started to charge, ready to bash him with his shield. - The Broker -
The Broker's back ached as he practically lifted himself up. The slam was painful, and he would be surprised if he came out of it with no broken boned. Be took a look at the situation. Luke had fired an arrow, and Jason started using his abilities. A possibility that cover could be broken. The worst part was that there was a hole in the roof, which mean't that Snowflake and her boyfriend could take a shot at taking Felix. He limped and crawled his way towards the other two and supported himself against one of the desks. He dragged Felix down and said "they're coming for you, and I'm sorry to say but if you leave with them, I'm unfortunately going to have to declare you a threat if we return. Come with me, and I can guarentee your safety, in addition to interesting work like this if you so please." He kept his eye on the roof, waiting for the two just to make a move. - Shadow Fixer -
Whatever Argent was doing to Cooper, it seemed to be working. The Daniel was slightly confused at this new turn of events. Cooper was moving more and more towards his workspace, and Daniel just turned back to Argent. He laughed once again. "Oh Alf Jones" he exhaled, locking eyes. "Did you really think I was this stupid.?" He turned, and charged towards the workspace Cooper was heading towards.

Arbor117 | May 1 2015 - Argent Mind -
"Yes. Yes I, in fact, did." Argent Mind responded as the room shuddered. As Daniel charged, the whole chamber shimmered, and suddenly Daniel was facing a wall. Cooper and the monster had swapped sides. "I'm enveloping his mind. You can't reach him without going through me. So, come up against me. God knows I could do with something to keep my mind off Cooper's hatred of me." - Hammerfist -
The Pursuer charged, a lumbering brute facing his match in Jason. But while the Pursuer was strong, Jason was far faster. He darted sideways, throwing up dust with his speed, diving into the unprotected flank of the warrior with a rapid volley of savage blows, each one strong enough to crack a brick wall.

Alex slowly creaked the heavy door open and stepped into the room which Jade resided in. Beside her was the young Mira, whom he was surprised to see alive and well after the events of the day before. "Hey, Girls. Thought I'd come check up on you. Y'know just have a chat." He walked up and sat cross legged on the floor beside Jade.

- Raven -
Lilly cursed herself, she realized now that she was still new to this game and so far she hadn't made herself useful. If anything, she had shown she was submissive, and unable to read people. It made her question her leadership, and only wished Luke was hear to aid her in, helping her read people. "Why exactly do you want to help me?" Lilly asked, somewhat confused and concerned as to why Ragno was at least pretending to be an ally towards her and The Citadel. - Hunter -
Luke tried his best to focus. The sounds of dust falling from the hole in the ceiling and crumbling bricks was clear. He could sense that Jason seemed to have been fine, managing to dodge The Pursuer who seemed overall to be confused at the situation at hand. The Broker was in bad shape and was speaking to Felix somewhere, looking upwards. His eyes widened, and he quickly tried to figure out if there was a source of water nearby, and the general plan of the room. Knowing his enviroment would be half the battle.

"I've seen that Pursuer before," Crimson said to Snowflake, "He tried to slice a whole crowd of civs in half to silence a riot. He is nuts."
A moment passed.
"Blizz. It's your brother. Lead the way."
