Super-Man has posed:
Fortunately China had advanced warning of the invasion and the heroes of China faced Darkseid's forces at the head of the largest standing army in the world. Thanks to the Mother of Armies, China also had the largest force of heroes in the world...temporarily. Her children do not live long, but there were literally thousands of them. Darkseid's forces were thrown back with much less devastation than in most other countries.

Kenan was sent here to help the cleanup. Metropolis was hard hit, even with the heroes involved, and even though New York was not the epicenter of the local invasion, even places like the Chinese Embassy took damage. Kenan has helped rebuild the Embassy and helped out in Chinatown, so now he is scouring the area for Parademons who got away.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
She'd been at it hard pretty much most of the day, with only a few hours. Kae can be seen zipping through the air on a broom, her lef hand held out and glowing as a glowing blue bolt leaps from that outstretched hand, followed by a couple more which seem to turn into gowing ice shortly before lanching through a trio of flying parademons who's chasing after the 'witch on a broom'. Kae suddenly throws the broom in a hard dive, pulling up scant inches off the ground as the bristles actually brush the ground before there's a dull hiss and the broom shoots forward faster. The now iced over parademons who were charging after her crash into the ground and break up into multiple pieces, smashing the selves on the tarmac.

Kae stands partially on the broom now and turns sideways, pushing down with her feet as she pulls up on the front, the broom now making a hard right as it turns that direction, skidding around the corner and slowing before Kae hops off, letting the broom zoom a head. Those with good eyes might notice a flickering image of Kae on said broom. And the woman pulls yet another of her stunts. She tugs a sphere out of her pocket, a blue gem, then another and tosses one across the street and drops the other where she stands as she darts into the buliding. The stones then lift off the ground and a fine line, or rope ade from arcane energy suspended between them as more parademons giving chase to hte woman end up clotheslining them selves, or cutting the selves in half as they go through the line... In short, it's a trainwreck... The broom goes back to the front of the building and Kae is hopping back onto the thing before darting into some cover behind a dumpster and some shrubs, where she leans against the wall and contemplates what other guerilla tactics she might pull on those Darkseid-ers...

Timber Wolf has posed:
Timber Wolf could not respond to the invasion in time to make much of a difference initially, but that doesn't mean the Legion member isn't involved now. If there's a fight to be had, his teammates know he'll find it and that's what he's done.

Having intended on going to Coney Island as it is, it left him extra angry that it was attacked. As a result, whatever he can find, be it Parademon, Hunger Dog, or anything else he can go after, he's taking the fight to them. Words give way to more primal snarls and growls, which may be odd from someone who /looks/ normal enough compared to other humans, but claws and fangs along with a wilder look to his features suggests otherwise.

That, and the obvious costume he's in with the wolf-like imagery over the chest.

Right now, the fight consists of dealing with a pack of Hunger Dogs, leaping over a charge here, cracking a couple heads together there. They don't present him much of a challenge, numbers on their side or not.

Super-Man has posed:
Kenan look a long leap, and used the time in the air to hear what was going on before switching back to strength to land safely. He switches to vision and sees the Parademons and the hunger dogs. Looks like the demons are down...at least that batch. The dogs appear to be after someone unfamiliar, he switches to speed and grabs a broken flagstaff. Holfing it before him, he passes through the hunger dogs, catching much of the pack with the staff ends as he passes by, then runs off to make sure the parademons are down. Only someone with very quick reflexes will se anything besides a red and black blur...

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae notices at leasta blur, and calls the spheres back to her self. They cease making the 'rope' as it were and teleport back to the woman's hand. She settles them into one of her pockets, and tugs a thermos from her backpack and takes a long pul, the girl draining nigh onto half of it, before she puts it away and glances around. She hooks her foot onto the edge of her broom, the collar where the fibers are bundled up and rides the brom to the ceiling of the building she's at, where she settles in. In the distance she sees folks dealing with the various dogs and other DarkSeid Troopers, she tilts her head and continues to glance around before those green eyes narrow slightly. She spots a couple tanks... "Not more of those..." She mutters tiredly, before the woman reaches into her left pocket she withdraws a rod, the thing telescoping outward and revealing an intricate set of runes on the device. Next she points the end at one of the tanks before beginning to mutter

As she finishes the short incantation a long blast of blue arcane plasma lances outward from the rod, striking the tank full on in the front. The point of impact suddenly turns bright red, then orange and the beam ends up cleaving straight through the tank before fading, the tank now pretty much gutted. Kae's then moving rapidly again, zipping away on her broom as the building's top is nailed with a blast fro that tank's 'friend'.

Timber Wolf has posed:
With senses and reaction times strong enough to spot it, Brin is aware of someone else passing by as he's dealing with his part of the fight. The 'assist' is met with an audible growl as he shouts, "I had it under control! Go find someone else to hit! I don't need your help!"

That's when a few more of the 'dogs' try to pile atop him and overwhelm him with sheer force in numbers. For a few seconds, it seems like it will work. Then, they're thrown off as if by some unseen force and Timber Wolf remains in the middle of it all, that look on his face even wilder than before as the attackers bounce off of this and that, each other in a couple cases. "You're no match for me!" he boasts at them, looking for something more difficult to challenge.

Super-Man has posed:
Kenan catches sight of the energies flashing back and forth, he is close enough to see and hear those with unaided senses. He rushes to where he has a clear view of the surviving tank and switches to Heat Vision. He knows, if the tank weapon is anything like the hand weapons Intergang had, that he can not stand up to the direct attack of the tank. It is best to take care of it before it gets him. The Alien metals of the tank glow red, then white, before melting into a pile of slag. Kenan switches back to invulnerability as soon as the tank starts to collapse and is barely in time as a parademon hits him with an energy blast that knocks him back through a wall...and past Timberwolf as he flies to the far side of the room anmd is finally stopped by THAT wall.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae is gliding along at ground level now with her broom, the woman noticing the other tank being taken out. As she passes by some of the troups, she tosses a sphere the size of a baseball in amidst a group of enemy troops. The thing rolls and starts flashing actually drawing their attention briefly before suddenly exploding into a cloud of white mist. When the mist clears all of the Darkseid troops are encased nicely in crystal.

Kae zooms along, now moving up toward Timber wolf as she calls out "Don't go just looking for a challenge, we don't stop these troops, they kidnap or kill anyone they come across!" As she passes the redhead is wiping sweat and bood from her brow. Before she pulls up and barks a word of power out, a few parademons litterally freezing in their motions and falling to the ground, Well they were ok right up until they smacked head first into the concrete. Kae having used a simple, weaker stunning spell to rather nasty affect. Kae rolls over and pulls up, stopping her upward momentum, now before spiralling down to another roof where she sits, back against the wall for now and just tries to catch her beath.

Afterall, the redhead's a Mage, and human to boot, she's tired...Again out comes Kae's thermos and she begins drinking from it while trying to catch her breath.

Timber Wolf has posed:
With much of his attention spent on the grunts, Brin's had less of an opportunity to take stock of the ones fending off this pocket of invaders. Kenan goes sailing past but there isn't so much of a grimace out of Timber Wolf as he watches the impact that takes out a wall. The guy looks tough, at least, based on what he's seen so far.

It's Kaelyn who gets his focus now, the rather feral-looking man stopping his aggression long enough to deliberately crack his knuckles while raising a brow at the broom the apparent witch uses. Whatever curiosities that may coax out of him, it's no matter. "You think I've never been in a fight before?" he shouts after her passage, watching some of the Parademons and others being quickly subdued, to which he gestures and adds, "You just keep doing what you're doing and I'll do what I'm doing! It doesn't matter who we stop as long as we stop enough of them!"

That said, he leaps to latch on to a Parademon trying to fly at him, using the being's momentum to drive it into the ground once flipping around to land on its back and help 'steer.'

Super-Man has posed:
Kenan Rises to his feet, he is really hard to hurt when he wants to be. He switches his power to his feet and runs at super speed over to the fallen Ferris Wheel. He switches power to his hands, then throws the wheel like a frisbee into a group of parademons who are scattered like bowling pins by the impact.
