Heroes and Villains of Century City

[AnonYMooseBoG]

"Hopefully I'll be the first to give it a listen." Lee smiles back, before slipping his arm through hers. "We were going to meet up at her place - mine is a crime scene, unfortunately. Let's go - Lana has some stuff to do, but she'll be along." He leads Calista to the parking lot, inviting her into an expensive car, before they head across town. Lana's apartment is much like her boyfriend's, just slightly larger, the walls covered in albums, guitars and tour memorabilia. "Get comfy. I wanted to ask you abou- ooh..." He groans, clutching his head. "Damn it, why now?" He moans to himself, before looking apologetically at Calista. "Sorry, migraine. I'll just be back in a second." He rushes off through a door, closing it behind him.

The door reopens a minute or so later, Lee striding out into the living room to grab two beers from the fridge, and sit on the couch. He pats the seat next to him, and if she sits down, slips an arm around her shoulder to pull her close, as he hands her a drink. "You know, it's kind of a shame I only met you after you got on the path to stardom."

Calista allows the young man to lead her by the arm, giving a sympathetic look at the mention of Lee's home being investigated. She makes small talk about other artists, liking Lee's music, etc. during the drive. As they enter Lana's flat, Calista remarks on some of the decorations, demonstrating that she's also a fan of Lana's work. "Is that the Strat from her Pink Album's cover?!" As Lee grasps at his head and leaves the room, she thinks migraine, riiiiight. She sends out a sonic pulse to see what's really going on in there. Probably just switching bodies or something.

Once Lee reemerges, Calista politely questions "I-I thought migraines were supposed to last longer than that? Are you sure you're okay?" Nevertheless, she's more than happy to join the boy, sitting next to him with her thighs crossed. She doesn't complain when he draws her in, readily accepting the beer to calm her nerves a little. He's so warm. Hahh. She knows she shouldn't let him be even this intimate, little as it is, because of the risk of being discovered, but she can't bring herself to stop him. "W-why's that?"

“I'll be careful.” Azura promised as she took the piece of paper.

Getting in her car the magical girl made her way to the chemical factory, stopping close but still far enough to not attract any attention. After making sure that everyone was focused on what was going at the factory she read the piece of paper, trying to memorize the number on it, then put it in a hidden pocket and cast her flight spell. Getting out of the car she left the vehicle behind and flew up to take an aerial look at the factory and the fire there. She wanted to check if it seemed like a regular fire, or someone had caused it. That would determine what she did next.

Soaring into the air, it's hard to tell if the fire is natural or man made - the smoke pouring up from the building's shattered smoke stacks is too thick. Then, she hears a gunshot from within.

"Lawrence!" Vanessa gasped, seeing how the thugs turned the gallery into a colosseum. She clenches her fist, but as she remembered that Hammer must be there. She looks for him first, figuring that after last night's encounter with another super thug. Vanessa needed to deal with him first, before picking off the normal thugs.

Sadly, as hard as she looks, she can't catch sight of the superpowered villain. He might be inside, but if he is, Vanessa doesn't know where.

While far from his best spell casting work, it will do for now. He can reinforce things later once things are up and running. Watching Ellie fall into despair as the officer ravishes her, he makes a note that once a few babies have been born (both from her and maybe a few from whoever the cop might bring to join her), he really should go and raid her lair. Even as poor a sorceress as she turned out to be had to have at least some magical items of use. Either for himself or for lower ranking members of his future army to make use of.

That was still a few days off, however. For now, he would let his new minion finish having his fun... and maybe take another turn himself.

The officer groans out, before filling Ellie with his seed - though it's of course wasted by this point. As Squidlock watches, he feels a magical pulse, realising that it's from the creature he left in the van, letting him know that it's reached its destination.

A sonic pulse confirms her suspicions, as Calista hears Lee fall onto a matress, while his other half rises up. "Oh, yeah." He smiles at her question. "I've got some...fast acting medication." He lies, wasting no time making bodily contact between them. As they sit and she asks her next question, the singer grins, letting his free hand touch her knee, pulling her close until their faces are nearly touching, and breathing into her ear. "Because I would have loved to have had such a hot fan." Where his doppleganger was so tame that he wouldn't even look at her, this Lee is the complete opposite - seeming to have no inhibitions when it comes to his desires.

"Damn it, fine, he's just a powerhouse, not like that speedster." Vanessa clicks her tongue, clenching her fist, and taking a deep breath. The heiress looks for a discreet way in, before zipping through the thugs as she knocks them out, using a bit more of her power than usual, and breaking a few more bones as she does so.

Smashing her way into the building, it isn't hard to crash through the disorganised and terrified mobsters. She catches sight of Hammer, the massive man ignoring the fray, and jumping down into the arena, heading toward Lawrence.

"Oh no you don't!" Vanessa exclaims, using her godlike speed to take care of the grunts. In her bid to protect Lawrence, she forgets to hold back, using her full strength as she leaps, and attempts to punch Hammer away from her butler.

So his switches aren't up to him? Interesting. I wonder which version is the real him, or closer to how he was before he was split.

He's so close! And the whispering... "Y-y-you're with Lana. I can't do this to her, especially so soon after she was taken," Calista half-lies, far more worried about how Lee would react to her true nature than by any moral quandary. In spite of herself, she lets her arm wander up his chest then wraps it around his back, holding him just as tightly in return.

The heroine feels her hand collide with the villain's thick chest, and sees him reel back slightly from the momentum, though he doesn't seem particularly hurt. "Heh? Rich girl has a hero on her payroll, huh?" He cracks his neck.

"Lana and I have an arrangement." Lee says, his hand sliding up Calista's thigh as she touches his chest, feeling the lean musculature of the singer's body. "If you're not interested, I'll back off. But judging from where your hand's going, I don't think that's the case." Lee smirks, as his lips touch her ear. "I think you want to be my fangirl, don't you?"

"Huh?" Again, Vanessa is surprised that someone could survive her full powered punch, since she mostly dealt with non-super thugs. But this time was different, I hit him, and he doesn't seem intent on dodging. She thinks to herself, smiling at Hammer's wrong conclusion to her identity. "Yeah, and now I'm about to teach you how you should think twice about accepting a job against her." The heiress replied, Big guys like him are slow, so breaking his legs first will hinder his movements even more. She thinks to herself, deciding to go for his lower body.

Calista starts to turn her head to kiss him, but she catches herself. "I-I want you, but I -- I can't do this under false pretenses." Barely audible, Calista whispers "I-I'd be your fanboy. Is that o-okay?"

The door opens, and Faye finds herself looking at a young man, handsome and muscular, but with a glint of his mother's ruthlessness in his eye that makes her shiver. He probably hasn't discovered it yet, but the boy's clearly a chip off the old block.

"Holy shit... It's you." He smiles. "When she told me Amethyst Heart was waiting for me, I thought it must be some woman in a costume, but it's definitely you." He moves toward her. "She also told me you'd do anything I told you to. Was she right about that, too?"

For some reason, it annoyed T'yala.

"Yes... your mother put me in situation, that I have little choice in the matter..." An idea sprung in her mind... Kizuhara was quite clear after all, why she needed T'yala to do what she was about to do. "But... I wonder... do you understand, why she done so?" She leaned back as she floated in the air. "Why she had me do anything you desired~" She wondered if the man was smart... or easy to manipulate. After all, if she could turn the boy against mother - which would be easy, if he was in love with his girlfriend - she could easily manoeuvre Kizuhara and put her in jail.

She already had evidence recorded from previous interaction... but more, would be better.

Soaring into the air, it's hard to tell if the fire is natural or man made - the smoke pouring up from the building's shattered smoke stacks is too thick. Then, she hears a gunshot from within.

Okay so either this is not just an accident, or someone is trying to take advantage of it. I need to take a closer look. Azura quickly cast a couple of spells. The first created a bubble of clean air around her head, so that she would not need to worry about the smoke – at least for the next half an hour, then she would need to renew it. The other created a weak protective barrier around her body – enough to handle stray bullets and other weak attacks. A concentrated attack would break it in a few good hits (or shots), but it would do for now, until she knew what she was dealing with and could choose something more appropriate for the situation.

Once her preparations were done Azura headed for the source of the gunshot, trying to approach undetected and find out what was going on.

Squidlock concentrates, focusing his mental vision on the source of the pulse, curious to see where it has ended up.

Vanessa Bound! Can attack, but not move

As the heroine moves in for her attack, Hammer crouches and slams his metal arm into her gut, forcing the wind from her lungs. "Heh... I thought you were supposed to be tough?" He grabs her by the throat, lifting her into the air. "Remind me to thank Fitzgerald when I find her, for putting such a fine bitch in my lap." Out of the corner of her eye, Vanessa sees Lawrence rush to save her, before being tackled back into the arena by one of the thugs.

Calista starts to turn her head to kiss him, but she catches herself. "I-I want you, but I -- I can't do this under false pretenses." Barely audible, Calista whispers "I-I'd be your fanboy. Is that o-okay?"

"Oh. Oh." Lee's eyes go wide as he realises what she's saying. "I've heard rumors that management did that, but I never..." He looks around, before his eyes meet hers. "I mean... I couldn't tell at all - you just seemed like a hot chick to me. If you keep being Calista when we're together, I don't see why not." Calista isn't sure if it's this Lee's lack of inhibitions, but a moment later his mouth is pressing against hers, tentatively at first, but soon picking up in intensity. He dominates her mouth, tongue pushing forward to lash against her own, as his hand on her thigh moves upwards, avoiding what's between her legs to go to her ass, squeezing roughly.

"Didn't really think about it - I have other priorities right now." The young man grins. "Show me your breasts."

Heading inside the burning building, she sees a number of men wearing gas masks - and carrying pistols. "Move out - find me those chemicals! We've not got much time before a costume gets here." Azura hears a feminine voice, and sees a woman in a mask - the supervillain Toxin.
