Spider-Man has posed:
There's a lot going on on the island of Manhattan. Folks are always keeping busy and running here and there and doing this and that. It's fun to watch sometimes.

There's a group of people in the Electronics Emporium, all doing their own little bit of shopping in the big store. It's a big open building with rows upon rows of displays of all sorts of fun gizmos and gadgets and parts for said thingamabobs. There's a bunch of cash registers at the front of the store where two sets of electronic automatic double doors slide open to allow folks to enter or exit without needing to touch door handles.

Little so the staff and patrons realize, however, but there's a group of mutant criminals waiting to rob the joint. Their leader, the Processor, has the power to combine any pieces of electronics together to make them more powerful and he's got designs on mining bitcoin on a scale never before attempted. The Processor brought with him muscle in the form of SuperFly, Ultra Samson and Potato in order to make sure the robbery goes off without a hitch.

The criminals have a big box truck, driven by the Processor. It cruses into the parking lot of the electronics emporium and then right up to the front doors. The Processor yells to his team, "Ultra Samson, Potato, you grab as many computers as you can. SuperFly, take out the security guards!" And the criminals are on it, hurrying to the positions throughotu the store just like they practiced. SuperFly, a white guy wearing a fur coat and platform shoes, leaps into the air and starts flying directly at the pair of security guards. When he gets close to them he stops his flight short, pulls out a shotgun and guns them both down with taser cartridges. Ultra Samson, a dude with long hair and a purple cloak, utilizes his super strength to start ripping security devices off of the computers as Potato, a woman with way too many eyes all over her body, swells up to increase her size so that she can start carrying a bunch of the computers towards the truck at the same time.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man is swinging along through the city, doing his patrolling thing. Almost as soon as the gunshots are audible someone gets on the phone and alerts the cops. Spidey's radio picks up on the police chatter and he starts making his way towards the scene of the crime, hoping to get there quickly enough to intervene before anything too bad happens.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee is being taken through Manhattan in a very nice car, with Roberto. Going to get a nice meal at some undisclosed location. She's sure he has something fun in mind. But as they drive, the go by a store, where there's definitely something really crazy going on.

Jubilee looks out the window, sees, that, and taps Roberto on the shoulder. "Look, over there, stop, something's wrong." She then leans forward, finds the button to lower the divider, and tells the driver "Please stop right here." before Roberto has a chance to talk her out of it.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa is dressed in an impeccably tailored three piece seat he's looking at his phone chattering on about the restaurant, and how exclusive it is, what the best things on the menu are and dropping vague hints about posr lunch activities. He looks up at the tap, and then raises his eyebrow as she tell the driver to stop, "We've got reservations, okay, I guess we're checking this out." He nods confirming Jubes' instructions to the driver. "Okay, we can check it out, but I'm sure it's just a sidewalk sale." He flashes a smile, and gestures for Jubilee to slip from the vehicle as the driver pulls over, "Circle the block, call Hayes if we're not back in two orbits."

Spider-Man has posed:
The bad guys have radios. Makes it easier for them to communicate. Nothing fancy, but you don't really need a fancy radio for a job that shouldn't last more than a couple of minutes. SuperFly zipties the security guards and stuffs their handguns into the pockets of his fur coat, menacing the customers and staff with his shotgun while he reloads it.

Potato has to bend down to get through the doorway she's grown so large. With her arms full of electronic whoozits she starts stuffing the stuff in the back of the truck. Ultra Samson keeps grabbing computers, this time shoving them into a shopping cart since he doesn't have an enormous friend to carry the stuff for him. An old lady wanders up to the long haired criminal and says, "Excuse me, young man. Can you reach that for me?" She's pointing to an expensive graphics card. "My grandson wanted me to get that for him today."

Ultra Samson stops what he's doing to assist the elderly lady, even being good enough to pull off the security thing on the packaging (by now there's a bunch of them screeching on the floor), "All yours, ma'am."

"Thank you, son," she says before walking towards the exit of the store. SuperFly kind of just watches her leave without paying, then shrugs his shoulders. Maybe there is honor among thieves.

Spider-Man arrives nearby and perches on a building across the street from the Electronics Emporium so he can get the lay of the land. His eyes narrow when he sees someone in a truck that's just pulled up to the front of the store. Then he notes Potato loading crap into the truck. Finally, he sees the ancient matron leaving the store with a high end graphics card. Things do not yet make sense to him.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee is dressed far less casually than Roberto is. Just whatever she had on when he invited her out. So she wraps her yellow coat over herself, she hops out as soon as the car stops. Tugging at Roberto to follow.

"Let's go inside. The worst that happens is that it's actually a sale..." she instructs as she leads Roberto on in, holding his hand and making sure he follows. They're sure coing to stand out...

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa sighs and smiles, "Okay, okay." He helps Jubes slip on the coat, and follows as beckoned. The two some slips from the car, "I honestly buy most of my electronics online, but sure, let's take a look." He smiles as he takes Jubes' and, heads across to the parking lot towards the store and the truck in the fire zone of the Electronic Emporium, "Hunh. That is a bit strange, don't they usually take deliveries in the back?"

Spider-Man has posed:
"Two more people approach the store. Detain them, SuperFly!" The Processor orders from his seat in the truck. "How many more computers are left, Ultra Samson?"

"Another couple of Potato loads worth and a few carts I can handle, Processor," replies the long haired villain as he continues making the little security devices whistle and scream by tearing them apart. Potato just keeps making trips back and forth. It's hard to tell due to her size but she's moving with a purpose.

SuperFly zips out of the store, flying at high speed with his shotgun at the ready. He's headed straight for Roberto and Jubilee, letting out a powerful screech that leaves ears ringing slightly. He moves to fly a circle around the pair, "Surrender or face my wrath! Enter the store and don't cause any trouble or I'll let you have it!" He brandishes his shotgun as he zooms around.

"Oh crap. Flying pimp is attacking that couple! Better get my game face on!" Spider-Man exclaims as he watches what happens before leaping off of the roof of the building he's on. Going for maximum speed he sends a web line out to the front of the electronics emporium and pulls himself forward. He still won't make it to the shotgun wielding flyer for a moment or two, however, so he tries to get his attention, "Don't you know that fur is murder... oh my god are there fish in your shoes?" SuperFly looks at the arachnid hero and frowns as he tries to bring up his shotgun.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee has all of her suspicions confirmed when this... flying armed person starts yelling at them. She matches the screeches with a whine of her own. "I don't think so, buddy" she calls out in her shrill, insistent tone, before murmuring to Berto "Call the cops, let's stall them..."

Spider-Man's arrival is also noteworthy. "I'd say a gun is murder!" she says before taking off running, away from Roberto to make things harder on SuperFly, and firing a bright light at his face to distract him.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa tilts his head at the call the cops comment, smirking, he's reaching for his phone as the situation shifts again, Spider-man drawing the ne'er-do-wells attention right as Jubes moves left. Berto frowns as she moves away from the area he can protect, there's an edge to his voice as he raises his free hand and his form darkens, "That's not a gun, this is a gun." His power flairs and the blast rips from his hand towards the villain, he pulls the punch and it's still more concussive force than a shot gun but without the shrapnel.

Spider-Man has posed:
SuperFly is blinded by the light. Wrapped up like a... Yeah, he covers his face and tries to zig and zag through the air, slamming his side into the passenger door of a minivan. Then he gets nailed by Roberto's blast and gets shoved back into the van again. He sags down to the ground, looking like he's at least temporarily stunned by the attack.

Inside his vehicle the Processor starts back on the radio, "Potato, Ultra Samson. Defensive plan alpha!" When the two hear those words they spring into action. Potato slams the back of the truck shut and turns to face the trio of interlopers, letting out a bellow that shakes the earth before running towards Spider-Man. Ultra Samson, on the other hand, picks up a car and goes to chuck it at Jubilee.

Spidey is able to easily dodge Potato's attack by jumping straight over her. But he's not counting on the eyes on her back tracking him well enough that she's able to catch him with a backhand swing and send him flying. The web head shouts, "Hey! Pick on someone your own size! Like the Juggernaut."

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee was feeling so good, but now there's a car aimed at her. "Ahh," she shrieks. But she keeps moving, and climbs her way up a lightpole, getting on top of it. With great balance, she starts firing off more shots, trying to make Ultra Samson feel like he just came out of a movie theater. "Don't make me hurt you." She fires off a couple more at SuperFly too, to cover Roberto.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa leaps into the air taking off with a roar like a jet as Ultra Samson lifts the vehicle his intent clear. He only gets about 30 feet off the ground before directing a full powered blast at the vehicle as samson releases it, the idea being to stuff the shot, like blocking a spike in volleyball. "Jubeila-lee, careful!" He hovers for a moment unsteadily and the decides it's easier to make a small circuit than to try and control his hover. he starts the circuit, centering his circle on Jubilee's light post.

Spider-Man has posed:
The Processor starts driving away in his truck, getting the vehicle moving as fast as it safely can. He's just going to get gone.

The old lady with the graphics card gets in her Cadillac and begins to drive off. As she backs out of her parking spot she nearly hits another vehicle but stops just in the nick of time. Then she goes forward and out of the parking lot.

Ultra Samson has his throw stifled, the car coming straight back at him. In his fury he rips it in half and leaps into the air towards Roberto, "I'm going to get you for that, fly boy!" His intent is clear and that's to sandwich the other guy between the two pieces of vehicle.

Spider-Man recovers and swings back into the action, going down plant a powerful kick on Potato's head that seems to momentarily stun the woman.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee just gets out of the way, using height to her advantage. Hopping to another lightpole. SuperFly and Roberto having their fight, with Roberto powering himself up nicely to get the upper hand,s he can focus on Ultra Samson.

Before Samson there can make an attack on Roberto, she hops, hops, hops, and clunks her heels down on his head, before flipping back off, grabbing a lightpole, swinging, and landing on top of a van in the parking lot. "Over here."

Just need to stall long enough for the cops... who hopefully can catch anyone who runs...

Spider-Man has posed:
"Ouch!" Ultra Samson yells when someone jumps on his head. But with super strength often comes super durability so he doesn't appear to be too phased by it. But he is ticked off and shifts his focus to the woman. Half a car is chucked at her even as he stomps forward with the other half of the vehicle ready to use as a bludgeoning device.

SuperFly tries to keep Roberto occupied by zipping, zigging and zagging rapidly through the air. And firing his shotgun at the other mutant. Who knows if one of the taser cartridges will hit home?

Spidey, meanwhile, is trying to beat down Potato but she just keeps taking the hits. He webs her ankles, she breaks the webs. He punches her head, she shakes it off. It's clear Spider-Man will eventually prevail, though just how long that'll take is anyone's guess.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa smiles and taps his blue tooth, calling the driver, "Jonas, cut off the entrance, don't let the Cadillac out!"

    He then flies over grabbing the car half from the air and using it as shield against the rain of taser blasts from Superfly as he lands near Jubes. "Castling!" He calls out as he takes the car half and charge towards Ultra Samson, letting Jubilee take on Superfly for a moment, as Sunspot runs forward the metal in his hands glows red hot.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee would rather not get strangers' cars messed up, but um.. Samson is already kind of doing that regardless of what she does. But someone's van gets into a crash, before she leaps back to a light pole, and swings on top of it with a gymnastics move. "Got it," shed yells, befire firing a flurry of blasts and pops at Superfly, trying to make him drop everything and maybe even fall! "Take that!"

Spider-Man has posed:
The Cadillac is stopped easily enough. The old lady driving it looks quite confused as to why someone doesn't want her to leave the parking lot, however. Her window rolls down and she says out of it, "Is everything okay, young man?"

"Oh shit." Ultra Samson says when he sees the half car he'd used as a weapon turned against him. He tries to lift the other half to shield himself but he may be too late...

SuperFly gets a face full of fireworks and lifts his arms to cover his head. The shotgun is released, but since it's slung across his body it doesn't go very far. "Damn it! I can't see a thing!"

Spider-Man keeps up the good work, wearing Potato down over time. At this rate she'll be out cold in under thirty seconds.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa uses the heated metal car half to knock the shield out of Samson's hands and then starts in with a combination of punches, the small powerhouse energized by the midday sun powers through the larger man's defenses.

     Jonas, was never given a reason why to stop the little old lady in cadillac but he does so, bottling up the the other cars trying to leave. He rolls down the window and starts to speak to the woman in Portuguese, gesturing expansively and generally creating a heck of a distraction.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee takes a second to judge. She's high enough that... yeah. While SuperFly is flustered, she leans, takes a few steps along the light pole overhang, and leaps up to SuperFly. "Got you," she whines, grabbing on and ready to take a ride down. Simple, and to the point.

Spider-Man has posed:
The poor little old lady is very unclear on what's going on. She watches Jonas speak to her and tries to formulate a reply to him. "Are you okay? Are you having a fit?" She's very concerned.

Samson can take a lickin' but not when faced with Sunspot's onslaught of blows. If he can't get his guard up in time he's liable to end up knocked out cold in a few seconds.

When SuperFly suddenly has the weight of another human being on him he starts to panic and his flight cuts out. The pair will end up in a heap on the ground together if the young woman doesn't let go.

Spidey's got Potato on the ropes. She's punch drunk and not having any luck connecting with the nimble superhero. She's even got six or seven black eyes from where the wall crawler's managed to land blows. She does not look like she'll be conscious for very much longer.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa turns and grabs Samson, in a jiujitsu hold and using his smaller size and physical expertise, he tosses the dazed larger man as Samson tries to mount a defense his throw putting Samson directly in the path of the plumetting Jubilee and Superfly, "Happy Landings, Jubilee!" He calls.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee lets go at the very end, since well, she knows how to land, calling out "Thanks Berto." But she grunts, since it was still a rough fall. Once on her feet, she rolls over to stand over SuperFly, and put her foot gently on his weapon, maing sure he can't just grab it. "Don't move. You've lost." With that settled, she can look over to Spidey and call out "You got things handled?"

Spider-Man has posed:
Ultra Samson is out cold by the time he's used as a soft spot for Jubilee and SuperFly to land on. The two airborne mutants manage to hit him without either of them being seriously injured. There's not much fight left in the bad guys, though, as SuperFly tries to lift his arms to show that he's surrendering.

Potato eventually falls. As she goes down Spider-Man yells, "TIMBER!" due to the way in which the villainous woman tips over to her side. Shortly after hitting the ground she deflates to normal size. Looking like a regular woman with a bunch of black eyes.

The wall crawler looks over at Jubilee and gives her a thumbs up, "Everything's good on my end. Thanks for jumping in like that, you two were great!"

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa smiles, "Obrigado... did anyone see where the truck got to?" Roberto looks about, before heading over to make sure Jubilee is okay, "You did very well, Foguete."

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee yanks the gun from Superfly to make SURE, and with an "eww," hands it to Berto. "Thanks," she nods to both Spidey and Berto. "We were going to dinner... I hope your clothes didn't get too messed up Berto... but now I'm all sweaty. What was going on, do you know, Spider-Man?"

Spider-Man has posed:
"Truck went thataway," Spider-Man says, pointing to one of the entrances to the parking lot. "I should have stuck a tracker on it, but I was worried about you guys and the guy with the fish in his shoes." Speaking of whom, Spidey points a wrist as him and webs him thoroughly to the ground. "No idea what was going on. Looked like a pretty standard heist to me, aside from all the superpowered muscle." His shoulders shrug, "Anyway, you two get to your dinner. Unless you're inviting me to come along?" He lifts a hand and says, "I appreciate the offer, but I need to make sure these three end up in custody."

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa grins taking the gun from Jubillee, he holds it away from her as he ups the heat in his hand and the shotgun slowly turns into a puddle of slag, dripping from his grasp, he slips his free arm around Jubilee's waist, "I think we might have to order in, or make it a late night." Roberto raises his eyebrows at Jubilee asking if they are done heroing or should stay and continue to help out. "Was... the cadillac involved? It seemed like it was?"

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee takes a deep breath, and dusts her hands, as she's pulled in by Roberto. " Yeah, it sounds like... we'd better just get back. I mean, if it's a classy restaurant, we'd have to clean up first anyway... So, yeah, maybe another time?"

Spider-Man has posed:
The lady in the Cadillac has gotten out of her vehicle and called 911, "There's a young man here having at fit. I'm at the Electronics Emporium, in the parking lot. This poor fellow is speaking in tongues and thrashing around..."

Spidey looks over at the old lady and shrugs, "Maybe she's the ringleader. I'm sure the cops will want to take her in for questioning anyway."

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto Da Costa nods and starts to walk back towards their car, "Would you like to web her or put on the spider-cuffs? Cause Jonas is our ride." He grins, slipping back to holdiing hands withe Jubes, swinging the held hand, "We could go to my place?"
