"These people... friends of yours? Trustworthy? Or are they this guy's backup in case something goes wrong?" Vitrius asks, pointing at Fastball

El Toro nods convincingly, "Oh yes. Very trustworthy." He claps Vitrius on the back, "Don't worry so much, we saved the day, and looked good doing it."
Apr 12, 2019 4:39 pm
Echo looks at the two men, arguing about how trustworthy bystanders are in the middle of the street.
"Look, if you two are going to bicker like this, I'm gonna run back and check on things. Kinda left Captain Canada out cold in the middle of the street. Plus, my dinner's getting cold." She turns back down the way the chased Fastball and trots back to the scene of the crime, still holding onto the hoverboard and the hockey stick.

"Wait that wasn't the - " Vitrius cuts off as Echo runs out of earshot.
"Plan... " he finishes, gritting his teeth.

El Toro grins and shrugs, "There was a plan? Well, if it makes you feel better go check up on the van. I'll stay here with Balls."

YAy...splitting the party. Just need Vitrius to confirm his action at this point then I will describe what the heroes have to deal with.Apr 13, 2019 11:22 am
OOC:
Sorry @foolsmask, I'm waiting for the result of my roll hereQuote:
OOC:
Rolling investigate +8 with my super sense, but I'm not sure the appropriate action. What I'm trying to do is listen for the general mood of the crowd there and if possible see if Slapshot is still on the ground where we left him. I don't think there'll be a way to check on Blitzer specifically with how my power is described, I would have needed to tag him somehowApr 13, 2019 2:26 pm
OOC:
Quite right, sorry...I would say that falls under the Overcome action, in that you are "overcoming the distance between you and the other locoation."Apr 13, 2019 2:26 pm

"Slapshot ran, I'm going to go find him," Vitrius says, cursing the fact that he hadn't tagged the man when he had a chance. Still, though, how far could a concussed Canuck get anyways. Actually though on that note...
Vitrius reaches in his pocket and pulls out a few pins. He hands one to El Toro, and pins one on Fastball
"Trackers, made of a special glass so that I can find you again" he says, and walks over to give one to the driver as well.

OOC:
So you guys were thinking of splitting up to deal with things. Still doing that?Apr 13, 2019 4:28 pm
OOC:
After I go over to the driver, give him a pin, and check that he's ok, I'm going to fly up and see if I can spot Slapshot. I'll be heading back towards where Echo isApr 13, 2019 10:27 pm
The driver sees Vitrius walking toward them and quickly gets back in the truck and starts driving away, avoiding the hero to the best of his ability apparently.
Back on the block with the bank, the crowd is starting to disperse but they still have Blitzer...the man inside the suit...restrained by their various powers.
A man with a three foot neck approaches the heroes. "Yeah, so like, what happened was this lady appeared, well...it was lady shaped anyway. She was all armored up like a black knight robot thing. But her head...her head was like a dome filled with energy and a brain. No skull or eyballs or nothing. Just a brain. Anyway, that Blitzer guys armor lit up again and she just popped out of the mecha and touched the hockey dude. It looked like she killed him and sort of ate him? You know? Like...her armor was made out of nanites...part of my powers are detecting wireless signals. Its not super useful beyond knowing when I am in range of the wifi, but I sensed there was a lot of activity like a hundred remote control drones swarmed him, then he was gone. She walked back to the mecha climbed inside and it disolved too. She was able to break it down I guess. Blitzer there was pitchin' a fit swearing at her as she left, she told him she couldn't help him right before she and mecha disappeared."
Fastball waits patiently to be carted off to jail.

"Whoa, I don't think so!" Vitrius shouts, bringing the full brunt of his powers on the truck window.
OOC:
create an advantage with will. If the window is securely attached he'll lift up the front wheels of the truck so it can't get away, otherwise he'll just pull on it until he can slash the tiresRolls

As Vitrius reaches out with his powers, he can't seem to grab anything where he feels like the truck windows should be. There is no "glass" used in the construction of this vehicle.
OOC:
don't look at this as a wasted action, you learned something important just now. But I will let you figure out what you learned and what it means for now. If I really stumped you we can talk it over.Apr 14, 2019 12:48 am

Echo sighs internally as the long-necked man gives his report. 'Great,' she chides herself. 'One got away by preventing another from getting away.' Hiding her distress with a smile, she reassure him and the crowd. "Thank you for filling me in. I am happy that none of you stepped in. With an unknown assailant such as this woman, I would not wanted anyone to have gotten hurt."
She turns to look at Blitzer. "In the least, we have two of the three original assailants apprehended, and they will be able to give us more information as to this fourth accomplice."
She also holds up Slapshot's stick, "And the one that got away is still disarmed. If he doesn't have a stockpile, it'll take him some time to get back out on the streets." She chuckles a bit at that, though seriously hopes that this team doesn't have an arsenal at their command.

How long until police or whoever arrive to cart of those captured?Apr 14, 2019 8:14 pm
Vitrius takes to the sky in pursuit of the truck. City traffic keeps he truck from reaching top speeds, so for now it stays in range. But quickly he realizes it is heading for one of two destinations. "The Tunnel" which is an underground roadway that connects several different areas if the city more directly so citizens can stay in their cars, or "The Wheel" the freeway that people use to get from the extreme ends of the city limits. If they go into the Tunnel, it will be very cramped for Vitrius and the smog can build up pretty quickly despite the ventilation system. The Loop would be easier, nice open air vantage points, but they can get some real speed, and the open air would make Vitrius an easy target to see.
"I ain't saying nothing! You'se ain't never gonn'a crack this egg!" Blitzer pulls against his restraints and tries to get in Echo's face. His breath reeks of stale beer and flecks of spittle fly toward the young woman but fall short of striking her,
A teenage boy, about 16 or 17 approaches Echo. "Hi! his voice cracks a little, he clears his throat and continues affecting a slightly lower pitch this time. "Could I get a selfie with you? You are one of the coolest up an coming heroes. I upvote you in every poll."

OOC:
The police will be there in less than a minute or two, according to your handlers. You can hear their sirens. And these are the real sirens, not the illusionary ones El Toro made.Apr 14, 2019 8:32 pm
Echo cocks an eyebrow at Blitzer, "We'll see about that." she tells him.
Stepping slightly away from the raging villain, she smiles wide at the young man. "Of course you can!" She strikes a pose with her fan, keeping a mindful note on where Blitzer is in relation to them.
