He turns to the old lady asking, Ma'am, calm down do you have any idea where they are?

"Um, well, he's a kitten, and has black and white patches, which is why we named him "Patches'." the little girl replies.

"Well, now, I am calm, sonny, but I'm just bit lost. I ain't senile, you know. I've got this map here showing the bus routes. She lives on this street right here.", the old lady replies, pointing to a street fortunately far away from the battle. The buses might even still be running if she can get further away from the battle.

"The tenth, Mr, Superhero. You can see the window of my place right there, " the boy replies, pointing at a window in a neaby building.

[MichaelGoldclaw]

"Where do you live?"

Wind Dragon

"Got it," he says and begins to fly up to window. Using his power he gently blows the smoke away so that he can see. "Hello, Is anyone in there?" he yells.

"In that building over there, 5th floor, apartment 10", the father replies.

Wind Dragon

You are looking into the living room of the apartment. There are a couple of bedrooms off ahead of you, and a small kitchenettte to your right. You don't see any people, and no one answers you.

[The_Admiral]

He attempts to make sense of the map, fortunately, It's quite similar to the maps he's used to. Looking at the momentum already built up with the evacuation, he says, I think I can get you there, it'll be faster too.

[Daimbert]

Knight:

"Well, if it isn't too much trouble for you, young man, that'd be very nice of you, " the elderly woman replies.

[shugyosha]

Wind Dragon

He moves to the bedrooms and calls out "Is any one here?" He'll look in to each of the bedrooms.

[The_Admiral]

No trouble at all ma'am he replies, picking her off the ground.

He closes his eyes for a moment and when he opens them, they glow white sparking with electricity. Hold on tight ma'am he says as he runs to the street pointed out by her, speed enhanced by lightning mana.

[MichaelGoldclaw]

"Alright I'll see what I can do." A.W.E. heads to the location, looking for the kitten.

[BananaPhone]

Apex


Floating above the civilian population, the Kryptonian kept her attention divided between the lines and the conflict roiling upon the horizon. A part of her wanted to abandon the civilians and fly over to the war-zone where her breeding and skills could be put to better use, instead of being shackled with the job of a shepard.

Gritting her teeth beneath her helmet, she drew up years of discipline to steel herself against the temptation of disobeying orders. She had to trust that those above her where better informed to make strategic decisions than she was.

Seeing that her compatriots were tending to the needs of individual civilians, Apex kept watch over the group, her black cape fluttering behind her as she slowly hovered around the lines and waited for the ship to fill.

[Daimbert]

Wind Dragon:

The first bedroom you look into seems to be that of an adult woman, and contains a small TV, alarm clock, and other items. The second bedroom seems to be that of a small child, and contains nothing of note except for an ant colony on the dresser. You don't see any people in any of the rooms.

Knight:

"Why thank you, son-EEEEE!" the elderly woman exclaims.

When you arrive at the apartment, the woman looks inside and finds it empty. "Oh ... that's right. They went to Florida on vacation and won't be back for a week."

The apartment is outside of the danger area, at least for now.

A.W.E.:

As you look inside the apartment, you hear a plaintive mewling from under the sofa. Looking at it, you can see the small kitten hiding under their, but it hisses as you approach.

Apex:

The ship starts to fill up, and people are starting to push and shove as it becomes clear that not everyone still in line will be able to get on.

[MichaelGoldclaw]

A.W.E. makes sure the door is shut. "Well, you want to play this the hard way then." He says. He lifts up the couch and moves it to the side. He then attempts to pick up the cat.

[shugyosha]

Wind Dragon

He looks at the ant farm and shakes his head. Grabbing it Wind Dragon returns to the boy. "Is this what you were looking for?"

[Daimbert]

I'll just move it along then.

Apex: Ship's full. People move on past it.

Knight: The old woman thanks you profusely and goes inside, presumably to wait out the disaster here.

A.W.E.: As you pick up the kitten, it latches onto your arm with its claws, clasping tightly.

Wind Dragon: The little boy exclaims "You saved my ants! Thank you Batman!" and runs off.

[MichaelGoldclaw]

A.W.E. heads back to the family to return the kitten.

[shugyosha]

Wind Dragon

He chuckles and says, "you're welcome, now get to safety." Then he flies upward to direct people.

[The_Admiral]

Knight returns to the evacuation, commiting the old lady's location to memory as he continued assisting in the evacuation, moving the civilians away from the raging battle.

OOC: Sorry, I have no idea how to do this.

[Daimbert]

Knight: The family pries the kitten from your arm and thanks you profusely, and moves on.

(OOC: I'm just going to move everything along here, as it seems to be boring everyone.)

The ship is cleared from the streets and moved out of the danger zone, and Apex returns. Things move along fairly smoothly and uneventfully, and soon the four of your are just standing in a deserted street, where you can hear but not see the running battle.

(OOC: And speaking of boring ... this part, right here, is a chance for your characters to talk and interact with each other, which is the main point of this whole introductory session. Something else is indeed going to happen, but right now is for characterization, so PLEASE use it [grin])

[MichaelGoldclaw]

Knightess looks around, but finds no civilians, so she lands next to A.W.E. She says "Guess what, I am" a prophanity filter bleeps out the next word "-ing bored. It's nice helping people, but I want to help by taking out the problem." A.W.E. turns around.
"I feel ya, love, but red tape bull-" BEEP "is red tape bull-" BEEP.

[shugyosha]

Wind Dragon

The young hero floats down. "You shouldn't take it personally, chums. We haven't trained with the rest of the JLA, so we are unknowns. And I for one can understand Batman's reluctance to send us in. Plus saving lives is important." he says in an irritatingly good humor.

[The_Admiral]

Well, orders are orders, we let the experts do their jobs. First thing I learn't as a Magus is to not interfere with Deus

[Daimbert]

Things become very quiet, except for the distant booms and crashes from the battle. You are all sitting around silently, morosely, in your own thoughts and little conversations.

Suddenly, you see a streak of fire flit across the sky, crashing down in front of you, and exploding in a burst of fire that quickly dissipates. Expecting to see a chunk of battle debris, you are surprised to see that from the fire emerges a young woman dressed in a skin-tight magenta outfit. She shakes her blue hair back behind her, and yells: "Finally, I'll prove myself to the world by destroying the Justice League!"

She then looks and seems to notice you for the first time, pauses, and says "Who the heck are you?!?"

[The_Admiral]

Lieutenant James Randall, Rank Six Magi of the Magus arm, callsign, Knight. he replies grinning as he enters into a combat form, his eyes glowing white with Lightning Mana.

Assume fire magi, offence oriented, large area attacks. he muttered to himself as he scanned the surroundings.

A.W.E. raised his Sniper Rifle and adjusted his scope. "You got a problem with the Justice League, then you have a problem with us. Major A.W.E., the Advanced Warfare Specialist. I highly recommend surrender before you get a bullet in your skull."

Knightess raised her blade "They call me Knightess, and I want you to surrender, but I'd love for you not to. Much more fun."

[Daimbert]

She sneers at all of you. "Nobodies."

And then closer at Wind Dragon, "And not even a has-been, but a never-been."

She then smiles. "Well, I could use a warm up before the main event anyway. You, there, Knight ... take your best shot. I dare you."

[The_Admiral]

His fingers spark as a bolt of lightning flies from them right at the woman as he shouts, SCATTER! HIT HER ON ALL SIDES!

Following his own advice he runs off out of her line of sight, his legs glowing with electricity.

The bolt hits her, and seems to dissipate over some kind of shield she has wrapped around her.

"Hitting and running are we? Hardly gallant behaviour for a Knight", she laughs.
