Turn 126
I fly off after the Avengers. If it's not a risk to my escape, I tell my former comrades to tell Magneto I said "Beware the Xanatos Gambit."
(4+1=5) You drop a quick one-liner to point out just how awesomely awesome you are, and then blast away like a missile. The others have already disappeared from view, but you assume that they will be heading to the Avengers HQ, so you go there as well. And indeed you find them waiting outside, and they do actually seem slightly more amiable towards you now, though Iron Man informs you that he has called for the authorities, but that he and the others will vouch for you and try to get a reduced sentence.
Find someone who can take the wall bit off of my arm
(4) The large slab of wall is indeed quite a disturbance, so you try to find someone who isn't too busy doing something else to help you, but all your comrades seem to have something better to do, or can't figure out how they would be able to help. But just as you are about to give up hope Zach, Lucien's demon servant approaches, and offers to help. You gratefully accept, and he grabs onto the concrete, digging his claws into it and then pulling it apart. He barely gave you enough time to do anything but brace yourself for pain, but you are quite relieved to find that you still have your arm, though the actual state of it leaves a bit to be desired, as it is somewhat mangled.
"Oh, sorry about that, the paralysis should wear off."
I close The invisible woman's torso over the tentacles and maw and form a retracting structure that can make her look like normal or release the tentacles at will.
I try to convince her that humanity could use some tweaking.
(3) You try fixing the mess you made of her torso after quickly explaining that the paralysis will wear off on its own,
(3+1=4) and manage to make it less obvious, a skin flap extending over the maw and tentacles to make it look almost like a normal human body. It still isn't perfect, but she at least looks a little more acceptive of you, since you do seem to want to fix your mistake.
(4) Your little speech about humanity needing to be improved doesn't exactly sway her, she concedes that there are things that aren't perfect about humans, but she says that this is what makes people unique and special, what makes us human.
I throw the vortex at the retreating enemies, manipulating the particles to move as a wall of railgun-like projectiles.
(1+1+1=3) You fire off the metal of the vortex at the only enemy still in sight, Bullseye,
(5+1=6) and the sheer mass of metal being thrown in his direction makes it hard to miss,
(6) but somehow it just ends up slamming him to the ground, without any of the metal piercing his skin.
I wait for the biker to slice at me, and then I dodge the attack and smack my bat into his chin with an upward swing. TWICE
(4) You wait for the biker to take another swing at you, which you easily dodge, and then counter with a powerful swing to the bottom of his jaw,
(1) which he really has no chance of dodging.
(5-1=4) But this man has a very impressive chin indeed, a manly bastion of pure masculinity extending from his jawline, which blocks the damage from the blow. So you try again,
(1) and again he seems sure that his chin will protect him, not doing anything to avoid the blow.
(5-1=4) And it turns out he was right, his chin is just too manly to let your attack do any damage.
Try to help Blarney
(5) You grab some of the medical supplies Blarney is carrying and quickly get to work on trying to help him. It takes some hard work, a whole lot of luck, and enough bandages to make him look like a mummy, but you manage to stabilize him and prevent further damage being done by his wounds.
Practice more atomic manipulation.
(3+1+1=5) You keep moving walls with your mind, the metal flowing aside under your efforts to let you pass, and you even manage to not have the walls disintegrate after you're done. With a bit more effort you manage to restore the walls to the condition they were in before you got to work, and you really think you are starting to get the hang of this.
*Pulls out his SKS sniper rifle and attempts to pick off Reaper as he flees*
(That being impossible, treat burns using my first aid kit)
(2) You would shoot him, but he moves away too fast for you to get a decent shot. Instead you simply let Zieg help heal your quite horrendous injuries, glad that you won't have to worry about dying just yet.
Curse the heavens.
(5+1=6) You turn to the bright morning sky above you, shaking your fist and hurling every foul word in every foul language you know of at it, cursing its very existence. The air around you suddenly seem to grow darker, shadows growing larger in your presence, as if the light itself is afraid. Then the shadows gather around you, turning everything to blackness, before rushing up at the heavens with a hellish screech that seems to shake your very soul, or what's left of it anyways. They spread across the sky, turning day into night, a thick black fog blocking out all light, and you stand there dumbfounded for a few seconds, not exactly sure of what you did.
...
You move through the scattered debris, climbing over the broken remains of houses and cars, towards the strange structure standing amongst the ruins. You feel drawn there, as if you have a purpose, a destiny you have yet to fulfill, but you can't actually remember anything outside of the last half hour, other than shorting out an entire neighborhood when trying to call the cops earlier. You see shapes, human shapes, moving about outside the structure, and you think they can see you so you try to appear as nonthreatening as possible, approaching with your arms wide of your body to show that you are unarmed.
Enemy Actions (Heroes)Take count of the team
(6) He curses as he notices Bullseye's absence, and tries to use his armor's GPS system to figure out where he is. Unfortunately it was damaged in the battle and is not functioning, so he has to do it the old fashioned way, and takes off into the air.
(3)But he can't seem to locate him, and he doesn't want to stray too close to the enemy fortress with his suit damaged.
Go inside
(5) Iron Man forgot to tell why he was flying off again, so Quicksilver just went into the HQ, deciding to relax for a while.
Watch over Reaper
(5) He keeps watch over Reaper, just in case he tries anything. But who watches the watchman?
Throw random crap at Hades
(6) He grabs a fistful of gravel and hurls it at Hades with great force,
(3+3=6) striking him squarely in the chest,
(6-1=5) but luckily for Hades the gravel shatters as it hits his armor.
Allied/Neutral Actions (Villains/Civilians/etc.)Worry about Blarney
(2) She walks around a bit, wondering what exactly happened to the fortress.
Reassert his integrity
(5) He finally manages to pull himself together and regain his physical body.
Guard master
(6) He stands near Lucien and looks quite vicious.
Lootz!
(6) It bleeps out a metallic 'fuck it' and just smashes through the nearest window, looting the hell out of the apartment. It ends up flying out again with a computer grabbed firmly in metallic claws, heading back towards the car to begin building copies of itself.
Try to not explode
(5) He manages to terminate the connections and safely release the buildup of psionic energy, not harming anyone in the process.
Try to get rid of the paralysis.
(1) She furiously sits still for a few minutes, trying as hard as she can to force the poison out of her system with pure willpower.
Environment: It is dark as night, thanks to Lucien's curse.
