Issue #1: The Coming Storm

"Nice job with the barrier Mimic, Omen," she said, sucking in a shaky breath as she felt her power settle, pushing back against its subtle flair. Now that she had something of a handle on it, she flew back over the thinning crowd, encouraging the stragglers to keep up with the rest.

Omen does what she can to support the barrier, but begins running, weaving through crowds, out of the park. As she does, almost as an afterthought, she adds, "I've found what's causing this! I'm going to take care of it!"

"Wait, what?" she blurted out, utterly confused as Omen just took off like that. The girl hesitated only a moment before she turned and took off after her friend. As she did, she willed her clothing to shift, that blue glow enveloping her as her civvies were replaced with the midnight blue and gold accents of her Polaris costume.

"No way! I'm coming with!!" I catch up with Emma in her pursuit of Omen, dodging the panicking crowd with ease.

Void Fist looks around a bit late in reacting but does what any normal person would do besides freaking out. He grabs Mimic's case and bolts for the food truck Aeon Crow tossed his coat and drops his own gear pulling out a silcon cased chain and locks everything up thinking still this would be a perfect time to steal his stuff when it's unattended. Once done he'll look around. With Blitz on the lightening and the hail being the major issue Void Fist realizes people are splitting up. "The Girls are taking off! Watch Blitz' back in case this is a setup!" he yells to the others jumping down having just rolled his limited edition T Shirt up and stored in his pouch. He takes off after the girls moving subconsciously to the shadows the storm is causing dropping his center of gravity he runs low to the ground keeping an eye on the faster moving trio.

It be nice if Sunspot was helping too... he thought to himself.

Jennifer slams down her mental barrier, cutting off the agonizing pain inflicted when she opened up to try and send calm to the panicked crowd. Well, that was a mistake! Seeing that everyone else has the crowd under control, she ducks behind a stall and pulls off her civvies, throws on her mask, and emerges as Procyon. She takes off running after Omen, using her minor telekinesis to leap over obstacles and parkour after her friend.

Aeon Crow tries to keep the direction marker in place as long as he can, confident on his own ability to keep up when needed.

"Care to fill us in?" she called out to Omen, her flight leaving her free to catch up with no real obstructions besides the occasional tree or streetlights.

I continue to follow the blue glow in the sky, hoping Polaris has her eyes on Omen.

Come on everyone follow those signs. Hecate says following the sign one of her team created.

Just as her movements begin to blur, her superspeed about to kick into gear, Omen pauses. The momentum forward causes her to have to skip a few steps to slow down before she turns around. Normally she felt like it was better for her to take care of things on her own; no one gets hurt but her and, most likely, the villain. Something kept her from doing that this time though, especially when she could hear Emma calling out to her. Omen bit her bottom lip, pondering a moment and standing still. Turning around she'll call out to those that are following, shouting so that she can be heard over the thunder and hail, "That new building they're constructing downtown - The Mars-Angstrom Tower - there's some kind of machine there that's causing it."

With that, she will turn and continue to run, this time at her full speed, shouting, "Meet you there!"

As I'm running, I text the location to the others. We're meeting here when you're done with the crowd. Something about a weird machine. Stay safe! XoXo

I keep moving downtown, taking breaks to catch my breath. Damn that girl can move fast. I need to do more laps.

Void Fist flips out his phone while he runs and checks the location before making a beeline in the new direction. He slows down and looks around at the bike rental kiosk.

"No one said we can't..." Void Fist looks to see where he can drop off the bike on the way since it's rented before he gets there.

Finding an anime opening about cycling on his phone he races to the closest kiosk to drop the bike off before getting to the building.

If anyone sees him from the team he'll blurt out that he's not cheating and pedal faster.

After he makes sure his barrier will hold at least long enough that everyone has been escorted to safely, Mimic pulls out his phone, seeing the message from his teammate. He focuses his powers and an enormous body of light forms around him. He reaches over and picks up Void Fist sans-bike and puts him on his shoulders. "Does anyone else need a lift?"

"I will follow you Mimic, unless your going to fly." Hecate heads over stifling a chuckle at Void Fist getting scooped up.

Void Fist flails "The deposit!!!" he tries to mark his location on his phone so he can put the bike away later. Looking around he records a bit of the area around him on his phone before he puts it away.

Man, Omen really needed to learn a thing or two about teamwork. Emma grit her teeth, but she got the message from her teammate and flew after her as best she could. Even in flight she couldn't keep up with Omen's superspeed. But finally the building was in sight, and Polaris hovered several stories up, eyes scanning the area for Omen or anything else of interest as she waited for the rest of the team.
