JLA

[RoseThorn]

I cursed mentally as I heard JayDen's pager. The Big S, Guy, and and half a dozen others and you think they could leave us former super villians alone. JayDen seems to be on my wavelength as I change. As I start toward the garage and Nightmare, he pulls me back gently and sugessts we teleport there instead. Hmmm...didn't know he could that.

Then he uses my shadows to get us there. That's one trick he needs to teach ME.

As we appear in the JLA meeting room there are sounds to our side.

"Well, if there's one thing I've learned," I smirk at him.

"When you're a hero, follow the explosions."


OOC: Welcome back Missed ya.

 

[Kepic]

Nightwing

Trussed up like a hog. Great. Should've head back to Bludhaven, I thought. Oh well.
Learnt that trick from panther, huh? I thought. Well, being around Batman all these years had taught me a few things, too. Batman was an expert escapologist.
"Thanks for the kiss" I mumbled, cursing. As soon as I felt strong enough, I began to wriggle myself free.
Women with their kisses. Oh well, at least it wasn't Poison Ivy this time.
It was only a matter of minutes before I was up on my feet again, and brushing myself off. Right, the explosions were going thatta way...

 

[Moneytalks]

Cat Woman...

"Well now lookie what I've found..." she purred seductively. The extensive explosive damage had managed to cripple the security in the place and now she was at what seemed like a central computer terminal. She smiled with wicked delight as she looked around at the flashing lights and buttons. "Oooooh... this stuff looks expensive... bet it'll go BOOOM really pretty-like"

"Hey kitten... what have you found here?"
Cat woman growled as she looked around and saw Panther watching her with amusement. "God, you really are annoying... didn't Guy get the better of you?"
"AWW now kitten, you don't mean that do ya?"
Her look told him she did mean it. He just shrugged nocholantly and then Tainted arrived.
"God!" Cat woman hissed, "when did I ask for all the side-kicks huh?"
Tainted pouted, "I'm no side-kick!"
"Whatever!" Cat woman quickly forgot them as a minor irritation as she skipped over to the main controls. She flicked a few switches instinctively and the large monitors lit up. "Wow... they've got so much more coverage than I realised..." she stated almost impressed.
"Pity..." She flipped open a panel and shoved a stick of dynamite inside. She looked around for her lighter and Panther leaned forward with a light of his own. "May I?" Cat woman glanced at him but wouldn't let it show that she was impressed. She fluttered her lashes a little and nodded in agreement. All three of them watched as the fuse slowly hissed away.

"Shouldn't we be like running or something?" Tainted asked in a little girl voice. Cat woman and Panther eyed each other off. Neither of them willing to be the first to move. Tainted fretted a little. Her idea of fun wasn't to be killed in no explosion. She scurried out of the room.

 

[Renegade]

Guy Gardner

Using my ring carefully, I created a small buzz saw that cut through the ropes slowly as I tried not to get myself with it. Once I got the ropes off I hurry after Catwoman and her side-kicks. If they planed to take us out through sabotage then they would have to go for the main controls.

Flying to the room I arrived on time to see Tainted running out of the room. I simply created a yellow brick wall that she ran right smack into!

Before she could do anything I grabed with my ring and asked "So where's the fire Tainted? Your wife having a baby or what?"

Tainted yelled "Let go of me you idiot! This room is going to blow!"

Great first I dont get laid twice and now I'm gonna get killed. Maybe I should have become a pimp like my guidence counsler suggested...

 

[Moneytalks]

"Ok kitten... you going to move or what?"
Catwoman smiled. She turned with a frown hearing Tainted yelling at someone. "Guy... " she frowned.

She noted the fuse was getting really short. With a little shrug she scampered over to the ventilation shaft she had noticed earlier and slid inside. Panther glanced from the fuse to Guy to the shaft. Before he could make a decision though Guy threw a fist at his face flooring him.

Tainted wolf whistled. "Impressive big boy..." she tittered before skipping away. Panther growled, shaking his head to get his bearings. Guy approached ready for a fight. As he got closer however he noticed Panther looking rather smug. Too late he felt something solid whack him on the back of his head. Panther looked up and saw the Cat woman posing sexily over the fallen man.

"Hmmm..." she purred. "Looks like you owe me one now..." she winked. Panther jumped easily to his feet and swept her up in his arms before dragging them outside. Tainted, Catwoman and Panther watched as the explosions errupted.

"Wonder if Guy managed to get out?" Tainted asked.
Catwoman grinned, "who cares?"

 

[Renegade]

[Renegade]

Guy Gardner

IC: Slowly I awaken from that attack and quickly remember the dynamite. Unable to get up fast enough, I try to use my ring so I can fly out before it was to late. Holding the ring up I tried to fly out a nearby window. I concentrated to fly out but nothing happened! The rings power level was to low! Just then the dynamite went off as my life flashed before my eyes as the explosion took my life...and I still didnt score!

OOC: Yep Guy Gardner is dead and that is that for him in this thread. But dont worry I'll be back in this thread later today as someone else.

 

[Moneytalks]

ooc:... ya mean we killed ya?... goodness, we're badder than I thought!... [winks]... you'd BETTER come back as someone else though Renegade... I LIKE playing with you... [lol]

ic:... Catwoman admired the explosion. "That was fun!"
Tainted scowled... "I almost got DEAD that time!"
Catwoman looked at her in surprise... "you didn't have fun then?"
Tainted looked thoughtful... "well... yeah... guess I did actually..." she chuckled.

Panther shook his head at them both.

 

[Renegade]

OOC: You havent taken me out that easily. LOL I'll be back soon but I'm trying to decide on who to come back as right now. I'll probably come back as Lobo since his character is kinda like Guys but more wild.

The Explosion from JayDen's point of view

Me and Shadowess make it down the hall and get to the rest of the league who intially was battling Panther who then escapes through the window with his ladies associates however Guy is hot on his trail, but suddenly there is bright flash from the computer room.

As the building eplodes I erect (shaddup Guy) a magnetic field around me and most of JLA. Hopefully my shield did it's job, however it didn't work then what a shame. Hey at least I am alive and that is what's important. lol Ok from what I can tell everyone is alive, but to make sure I think I have to give all the women mouth to mouth to make sure that they are alive. hehe.

OCC: WOOHOO LObo was one of my favorite DC characters good choice Rene buddy lol

 

[RoseThorn]

OOC: Lobo! I love him

IC: As the explosions erupted around us I threw up my shadow shields to enforce the ones around myself and JayDen. I then did the only other thing I could think of, clung to JayDen. Yes, in those moments of truth I clung to him like a helpless female.

I couldn't help it, it felt like the place was coming down around our ears.

As things died down, I blinked a couple times and looked around. My eyes fell on the form a hand with a gold ring(it IS gold right?). Without another thought I started the shadows pushing rubble away and had them lift Guy's body out.

This looked bad.

 

[poohlive]

Superman looked at the pile of rubble that was once the JLA headquarters. His jaw slightly dropped. A small suckle of spit clinging to his lip, dangled eerily toward the pavement below. It looked as if to go, but it didn't. Even his spit was super.
"what The FUCK!!!!!!!!!" he shouted at the rubble.
Superman grabbed a piece of concrete, hurling it into the air. It went swiftly into the atmosphere, making a wonderful falling star, although it was falling up.
"I LEAVE GUY IN CHARGE FOR ONE FUCKING DAY AND HE BLOWS IT ALL THE FUCK UP!!!!?!!!"
(Superman hadn't cussed since issue 547, check the superman handbook, located at Poohlive's Comic Shop 7782 S. Rodeo Dr. Hollywood CA 90210, call for appointment, I gotta clean up my mom's garage)
Zana went up to him, "Superman, please..."
HE growled at her, "Shut the fuck up. just...." he raised his hands in the air, "Shut up, just shut up. Thank you."
He flew across the site, looking for the bastard. This wasn't a game anymore. He might have been able to put some gun happy assholes into the club, but this... ohhhh this was too far. He had snapped one too many camel's backs for this to go unpunished.
Jayla came up to him, "He's dead Superman."
Superman looked at her, "What?"
"He is dead, Superman. Please, just calm down..." she held onto his arm.
He threw her off of him, "No... that little prick. I don't even get my revenge."
He fell back to the earth, face in his hands. Superman wept, quietly. A few minutes later he got up, looking at what was left of the JLA.
"Everyone who Guy made a member, are not out of the JLA. He isn't here anymore. I am... Membership will now be done by the JLA rules. Everything is done by the rules from now on, I hope this little incident has woken everyone up to that fact. You break the rules, and something happens."
He looked at everyone, their faces in shock, or horror.
Jayna looked at him, "Why? Superman... why?"
He didn't, no he couldn't look at her. She had such a beautiful face, "I don't care anymore Jayna.... I don't know whats wrong with me. Why don't I care anymore. All my life I have cared for other people, why am I so selfish now?"
He fell into her arms, sobbing softly. She hugged him back. Somehow, in all this chaos, he felt some content.
Not a lot, but some...

 

[Renegade]

Lobo

"Ah shut the fuck up you super pansy! You make me sick to say I even know you!" everyone looked up to see Lobo flying down on his cycle.

Lobo began mocking Superman "'Oh somebody help me, I dont care about others anymore.' Welcome to the real world flyboy!"

Lobo flew down and landed as he looked in discust at Superman crying like a little bitch. Looking at the JLA HQ he asked "So what happened here? You guys have a party that got out of hand or what?"

 

[Phoenix]

With Supa getting all cold was pissing me off, then the so called leader was getting all emotional, someone had to do something. I know Guy was not his favorite person but he could at least treat Guy's death with respect as I scanned the ruble and saw thankfully Daija Vu and some biker were still alive. If he was part of Catwoman's crew then I will pulp him if he touches Daija. As I get up I help Shadowess who I tried to cover before the building collapsed on us. Suddenly Superman began shouting orders so I stiffened up and stood eye to eye with the man of steel and said as cold as I can:

" Sorry Supes but you ain't in charge anymore. After all that has gone down I say we elect a leader by voting not by some big guy with his underwear on the outside taking charge. Guy is dead, for God sake so I suggest we give him the proper brial then we get payback because if it is in the spandex code book that revenge is out of the question then I quit. Me and Gardner did not like each other much but I have too much respect to let this one go.
As for you Lesbo or Leo or whatever the fuck you call yourself if you don't tell me what you are doing here in 10 seconds I am gonna take that scooter you rode on turn in into the world biggest shiniest dildo and shove it where the sun don't shine ya dig"

 

[Renegade]

Lobo

Looking at the new guy I liked him. He had guts and that I respected but nobody talks to the main man like that. I tell him "I was just flying over the city looking to have a little match with the crying pansy over there when I saw the explosion. So I came here to see what was up and now we got that little bitch on the floor crying his eyes out and you telling me crap. So before you try any of that dildo shit with me I want to warn you that if that happens I'll get this hook and pierce your balls the hard way then hook them up to my hog and take off to los vegas with you in tow. You dig that homie?"

 

[Phoenix]

So Leo wants to play

I look at Lobo and just when it looks like I am about to rip him a new one I go another route and say:

"OHHHHHHH a hook I am so scared lookie here Lesbo, that hook shit did not work for Peter Pan and it sure as hell did not scare me. Now before you even begin to daydream about pierce anything Leo remember only one man busts Supes balls and that is me. Why because I am so much better at it then you are. Now if you want to go one on one why don't you try me out because there is no way anyone is gonna disgrace Gardner's memory or not."

As I spoke my hand began to go with magnetic energy charged from the kenetic energy from the explosion

 

[Renegade]

Lobo

Looking the kid over I can tell he had the guts to take me on and maybe the power to take me out. But I had bigger fish to fry and this was not going to get me there.

I tell him "Look kid I got nothing against you and I liked Guy so for now let's hold off this little match for now. But the thing is now what are you guys going to do about this team? What do you have planned Supes?" Looking at him I figure that he aint going to be much help.

Turning back to the other members of the JLA I tell them "I think the first thing you guys gotta do is pick a new leader since the blue boy is still crying his eyes out here."

 

[Moneytalks]

Cat woman...

was getting calls from all sorts of well to do baddies congratulating her on her totally destruction of JLA headquaters. She enjoyed the first few gushingly adoring calls but now she was getting seriously bored with it all. She was draped over her favorite chaise lounge when yet another call could be heard coming through. Tainted answered the call and glanced at catwoman who growled menacingly.

"Ummm... nope... sorry... she's busy right now... umm... a message... yeah... I guess so... " Tainted picked up a pretend pad and pencil and did some imaginary flourishing strokes with her hand. "Fabulous, brilliant, wonderful..." she intoned in a bored voice. Cat woman sighed melodramatically. "God, you begin to wonder if those guys really are that bad after all... what I wouldn't do for a real bad ass to come sweep me off my feet..." she sniffed. Panther strode in just as she finished this sentance and Cat woman groaned... "God... beware what you wish for and all that! What do YOU want?" She asked nastily.
"Now now kitten is that anyway to talk... I've got news... apparently we managed to kill guy in that blast after all."
"WE!!??... WE?????" She snarled. "I do recall only ONE cat putting dynamite in their damn computer system... " She glared at him.
He grinned disarmingly back at her... "course kitten... I was there remember?"
"And I still don't know WHY you were there... don't you have kitty litter of your own somewhere?"
Unpreturbed he listened as Tainted answered another call. "You seem bored kitten... can I help at all?"
She didn't bother answering him. She padded up to him silently and barred her claws. Before she could swipe at him however he caught up her wrist in his hand and shook his head at her. "My but we're particularly catty today aren't we?"
She scowled but quickly that melted into a smile and a purr as she retracted her claws... "you've got a surprise for me haven't you?" Her eyes danced with anticipation.
He grinned, but he couldn't hide his amusement that he'd finally gotten her to smile for him. "Could be..." He teased.
"Oh... tell me... what? what?"
Tainted skipped over asking... "whats up? Big cat got something on his mind?"
Cat woman barely lent her a glance as she pressed herself against Panther's body adoringly. "Oh... tell me... I can't stand the anticipation!" She murmered.
"Seems... seems... that the Superman is suffering some sort of nervous breakdown... could be... that the man of steel ain't so invincible after all..."
Cat woman's eyes widened as she took in this little piece of info. "The superman?" Panther watched as the woman's eyes gleamed as she considered the possiblities...

 

[RoseThorn]

Death isn't something you get used to. I learned that the hard way. S is acting like a pansey, ya think he'd never seen a body before. I closed my eyes, a single tear fell free.

I needed to hit something. Now.

Lobo...knew him from somwhere and the new leader thing was right on.

I closed my eyes slowly drawing on my "inner villian".

"We're not gonna get anywhere here..." I say softly, my voice had dropped to the tempature of ice. I flick my wrist and with a slight flinch let the shadows engulf Guy's body. The storage in shadows is better then dry ice and we can...do something with him later.

"I vote we go to my place before someone takes advantage of the situation...I've got a decent security system there at least..." I look around to see what JayDen and the others think.

 

[Renegade]

Lobo

Watching as Guys body was covered in shadows I tell the others "I think you all should listen to the girl. It's not like this place is going to be much help to you all."

"What do you say kid?" I ask whil turning to JayDen who seemed to have the best grasp of the situation out of the JLA.

 

[RoseThorn]

I listen to Lobo agree with me smirk. One for me, wonder if Lobo counts?

"Well, Lobo," I smirk softly, hiding behind my humour.

"Does this mean you're coming to my place too?" Note to self, when, and if, we go to my place, I'm getting smashed and killing my punching bag.

 

[Renegade]

Lobo

Grining at Shadowess I tell her "Maybe I will babe. I gots alot of time to spare and it looks like with Supes turning into a little punk you guys could use somebody to be the muscles of the group."

Turning to the other JLA members I tell them "So what do you guys say? How about letting the main man jump in on your band wagon?"

 

[RoseThorn]

"I'm for it...We need another 'non-traditional' hero." I perk my ears at the sounds of sirens in the distance. Ok, don't panic I tell myself. The cops are on your side now. Ok, but still, even with no body they'll wanna question everyone eight times.

"I think we should...leave now?" I say nervously. Sure, I could take down the cops with my eyes closed, but I was a good guy now. Right...

OOC: I'd love to see this as a cartoon... *smirks*

 

[Phoenix]

My Decision

Looking from Lobo to Shadowess to the others and then the rumble that was our home. I rub the barcode tattoo on my neck and make a decision.

JayDen " I say we go to Shadowess' place however I want to remind everyone not to try any toast there trust me you will understand when we get there. First things first we shower up and rest up because after that I am gonna call up my contact in the Theives and Assassains Guilds and we are gonna plan on how to get payback, because for once let's get the bastards before they get us. Because I am sick of being hit from behind. After all if I wanted to be screwed over by ridicolously dressed Psycho's I would move to Soho and hang out with the she males. I say we get that Catbitch and her twisted Girl Scout troupe. So maybe I am gonna shoot myself in the head tommorrow but I say for now we could use all the help we can get even from Plastic man so Lesbo for now you are in."

 

[RoseThorn]

Good. Movement. I smirk at JayDen's comment. With a sigh I look around and take stock. I should have more then enough room. After I get everyone in the database...

"Ok everyone, follow..." Damn,my bike, Nightmare's at home.

"Ok, first, who's giving me a lift?"
