Vitrius radios his handlers
"I'm in pursuit of an armoured car, subject of the previous robbery attempt. The car peeled away when I approached, I'm not sure why yet. Suspecting additional perps, possibly with mind control ability, or an inside job. I'm directing them towards the wheel. Send cameras, they're going to want to see this"
From his vantage point, Vitrius begins nudging and shifting the cars heading towards the tunnel, not enough to cause a crash, but enough to rattle them and cause them to brake, causing a small traffic jam in that direction

Echo: The teen holds up his phone and reverses the camera so you see yourself reversed in the image. He raises his free hand and gives a thumbs up with a big cheesy smile. He clicks one picture quickly. "Dang, out of focus. Just one more?" he asks, but doesn't seem to be waiting for a response. As you prepare another smile you notice his free hand is moving closer to you. His fingers are relaxed a bit, but still in a thumbs up mostly. At the last second you realize he is about to grab your ruined top and try to snap a picture. How do you react? Keep in mind the police are very close.
Location 2: On the Road
It takes a bit of effort, but the cars near the turn for The Tunnel all veer in that direction. The armored car slows for a second, but then swerves toward the on-ramp for the freeway (The Wheel). The speed through a red-light, narrowly avoiding an accident and ascend the on-ramp at about 20mph faster than the posted speed limit.

Going to roll this together into one post, since barring something strange happening, this'll be Vitrius' plan, which he likely won't deviate from. If something goes so wrong that he can't complete one of the steps, I'll come back and erase that part and we can continue from there. If there's a problem with doing it this way let me know and I can remove everything past the first roll as wellOOC:

As Vitrius moves in with his gigantic glass spear, the armored car speeds onward, weaving around the traffic on the freeway. The setting sun lights his weapon so that it looks like a blazing comet bearing down on the trucks engine. Making his final approach the sila-kinetisist is surprised when the passenger door opens and the second guardsman climbs out onto the roof. Where his hands touch the vehicle, it smolders and grows red-hot. As the figure gets to the roof, they burst into flame, revealing that it is in fact not a man, but a woman, a criminal named Napalm who generates a burning plasma and can hurl it like a fire hose.
Her feet melt the armor of the vehicle granting her a foot hold. The remnants of her disguise fall away, alerting the drivers nearby to the danger they face. They all hastily pull over and avoid getting in the way. Now the only issue is the traffic the truck is going to approach from behind. Those people might not see the fireworks and could still be in danger.
Turning to face Vitrius, Napalm raisers her arms and unleashes her counterattack. A torrent of burning plasma erupts in Vitrius's direction. The driver inside the vehicle somehow seems to anticipate the hero's plan and takes evasive maneuvers, which cause Napalm's fire to wave back and forth creating a wall of heat that is nearly unbearable.

Willing to concede the conflict, unless they're going to stopApr 16, 2019 11:09 am
Sneaky as the kid may be, his reflexes were nothing compared to Echo's. To be fair though, she didn't want to alienate a fan, even a bit of a... let's say an opportunistic one. Echo counters the boy's move be throwing up her hand in a back-facing peace sign, cleverly using the two fingers pointed down to clutch her top, while also positioning it to cover the worst of it should her plan fail. He was a sweet fan though, so she decided to give him a little gift, if only to distract his hands. As he's about to take the picture, Echo leans in and plants a kiss on the boy's cheek, leaving a bright, pink lipstick stain behind.

(*grin* No, no interest in being chummy. But I will use the opportunity to insult him a bit.)
"Really? Oh that so strange... Because I've never heard of you. I mean, I'm a pretty big baseball fan, but no... nothing about you seems familiar. Were you like on a minor league team or something?" Off in the distance he hears an explosion. "Oh man, cops need to get here quick yo. Sounds like something's happening and I'm stuck here babysitting 'minor league'."

Location 1: The Bank
Echo's super agility allows her to keep her dignity before he can make any more mischief for her and plants a kiss on his cheek. This takes the young man completely off guard and his cheeks flush deeply. He snaps the pic with a look of shock, forgetting his plans. The crowd seems to approve, breaking out in mild cheers, gasps, clapping and wolf whistles.
Moments later the patrol car arrives and they pack Blitzer into the back. The officers are polite and professional, though they keep their heads down when the drone cameras whiz by. They take Echo's statement and offer her a NGPD windbreaker she can zip up over her costume.
Things are wrapping up when the reporters start edging in looking for a statement, mostly about the missing crook and happened to him. You receive a message that all three of the heroes who responded to this indecent have been invited to appear on this evenings episode of HERO REPORT, the daily show that recounts the days exploits of heroes and updates the standings. It will only be a 3 minute spot for you guys since you aren't in the Top 10, but it is sort of a big deal to be invited on the show at all. Either they need to fill some time because other heroes said no, or you are trending enough to warrant the exposure.
Location 2: On the Road
Deciding not to pursue the conflict Vitrius lands on the freeway as the armored car speeds away. The police sirens approach from behind, and most speed past the hero. One toward the back of the pack slows to a stop and asks to take a statement for the report of the whole incident, indicating they would like to meet at the bottom of the next off-ramp so traffic can resume, which it has started to do.

Vitrius gives the police as little information needed to seem polite and helpful, but reminds them that a full official report is forthcoming from his corp. He'll also sign a few autographs and pose for a few photos (One thing he likes to do is give out small glass souvenirs, which also let him know if fans are nearby), but not too many as he wants to head back to the original scene, and rendezvous with Echo and El Toro to plan their TV appearance... if they're still there. If El Toro kept the tracker Vitrius might be able to find him even if he's already left. If they're gone, Vitrius will head back to his headquarters to prepare for the news program
Apr 17, 2019 2:12 pm
Echo accepts the windbreaker, allowing her to take her mind off of her wardrobe malfunction. She speaks to the press briefly, making an almost identical statement about how she was glad no one got hurt, and that an official statement would be coming out about events from her sponsor (a tactic she was taught by her sponsors to avoid saying something stupid). After extracting herself from the press, she'll stand around and talk with fans for photos, and autographs.
Through all of this, Echo maintains a one-handed grip on her souvenirs from tonight, holding the hockey stick and having the hoverboard tucked under her arm.
Echo will likely be there until Vitrius and El Toro get there, and suggest that they grab something to eat before the news thing. If only to sit down somewhere to discuss what they should say. If they agree, Echo will hop off really quick to grab her dinner from earlier to give to a homeless person on the way there (its probably cold at this point). If they don't, she'll still hand off her food, but go and get something hot and quick to tide her over.

After the cops take Fastball away I'll hang out for a bit, talk to the press, sign autographs, take pictures with fans. All the while I'm subtly using my illusion powers as real time photoshop, touching up reality just a bit to make everything look optimal. He spots Vitrus heading back and decides to follow him back where he'll meet up with Echo as well. Dinner sounds like fantastic option.

Cool I will lock this thread after you all post an answer to these questions...Where do you go eat? Do you go in costume? Any stops before you get there? Alternately you could take the food elsewhere. Also, since this is the end of the scene and the next one at dinner will be restful, clear any stress or Minor Consequences you took, Echo's powers do a bit more, so that happens also. load next
