Cyberdragon has posed:
Standing on the top of the Church tower, Cyberdragon is looking around Mutant town. Normally even in winter there would be some activity, but after the situation with the president's assassination attempt, well as far as CD knows it is an attempt. He knows that trouble will happen so he has made sure to make himself be known and seen by the inhabitants. He's not the most well known hero, but having one here has made some people feel better.

Breath has posed:
Breath goes roaring across the skyline, doing a quick once over this part of town and stopping off here or there to see if her friends are getting blamed, as usual, somehow. Bleah.

So far all seems good enough. There's really nothing she can do on the national front, anyways. She sees another hero on patrol and comes circling slowly toward the rooftop, blowing back and braking to a noisy stop and landing, then pauses to stow her wings.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm is just chilling, walking through the hood. Everytime he sees a homeless person he drops a $1 or $5 into a cup and says, "JStorm, remember the name," and continues to walk without any fear and or worry. He also waves to random people who seem to know him and or have seen him before and I guess he is headed towards the bar.

Cyberdragon has posed:
Of course Cyberdragon turns to the new arrival and smiles. "Making sure things are alright?" With tensions so high, people are on edge and one of the bars of course has a couple of toughs out side as they see Storm approaching, but not recognizing him as they ask, "So you a Mutant or a Normie?" he asks as the large crystal looking man cracks his knuckles with that sound of nails on a Chalk board.

Narrowing his eyes Cyber turns when he over hears the sound and looking down at him.

"Excuse me," Cyberdragon says to breath as he spreads his wings and will slide off gliding down to the street Near the bar hoping to prevent a fight....

Breath has posed:
Breath nods, "Oh yeah... huh?" In the landing, she doesn't have a line of sight on the trouble down below. She wanders over and looks down, then pops her wings out and lightly steps off the rooftop, roaring down to the ground lightly in a loud wash of blasting air and landing fairly lightly-ish on the sidewalk, not exactly where the incident is unfolding because backwash.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm hears all of the commotion above him and says, "Hey. Hey, Shhh... huh? It's a nice quiet night. Why you guys gotta be so loud?" he tilts his head.

Then turning his gaze towards the bar and begins to walk leisurely in that direction.

Cyberdragon has posed:
When Johnny seems to ignore the two toughs the guy with the Crystal body actually gets infront of Storm to block his path as the Dragon lands behind him. The Crystal guy says, with a hand thrusting at Johnny Storm's chest to knock him back some "I asked you a question!"

Cyberdragon growls at him and says, "Quartz, That's enough."

Breath has posed:
Breath just sort of tags along. She didn't really see what was going on after all, and her credentials are fine here. She actually shrugs a little bit, since she wasn't sure what to do here.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm is stopped by the hand and simply says, "Hey man..chill...chill."

He reaches into his pocket an produces a $100,"I am just in the hood man, I don't know nothing," he offers it to the bouncer. "Quartz is it...why do they call you that?" he smirks.

Cyberdragon has posed:
This point Quartz looks at the money and then for a brief moment he says. "I'm called Quarts because that's what I am." and then he allows crystal claws to extend from his fingers to slices the hundred bill in half.

And the other bouncer comes up to Storm and says in a real deep voice, "I'm called Durge, because I'm the last thing you hear before I put you in the ground."

And at this Point Cyber looks between them and then to the man as he says. "Haven't you heard, Magneto attacked the White house claiming the president murdered a mutant. The president was shot and is in critical condition, peoples nerves are frayed here. And some don't know to behalf and not look for trouble where there is none..." Cyber's had to brawl these two before, he knows Durge can't hurt him, Quartz can....

Breath has posed:
Breath raises an eyebrow. I mean, she's a country hick that never even got a chance to practice feminine wiles and even she knows handing out big bills isn't exactly the way to win friends and influence people in this part of town. Then again, face is maybe a bit recognizable, hmmm. Hard to say from here. "Hey guys! This dude just looks like a tourist. What's the vibe like in there today, anyway? I mean, can't we go one day without a stupid punch up? Those are always just a pain, ya know?" She smiles disarmingly and tries to look sweet and femme, even though that has about a fifty fifty chance of totally, hysterically backfiring on her.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm frowns at the sliced bill then grabs another and says, "Hey, come on. I am just walking around. I am not starting any trouble? And isn't this like a fourth amendment violation?" the changing his focus to behind him.

"I have heard to news dude, but the president doesn't live here..and yeah....that Magneto dude. Yeah."

Cyberdragon has posed:
Quartz and Durge look at each other and then Durge exhales. "To be honest everyone's scared." he says more to Breath that anyone else as they seem to relax.

"Everyone's expecting trouble from trucks coming in carrying armed rioters, to people wearing suicide bombs." Quarts Continues. Givign a look to the man they can't quiet Identify. The pair simply are tow of the tougher mutants in the area. Who can take a pounding.

The Dragon says, "I can understand wanting to keep an eye out for trouble but down right harrassing people is not going to win hearts over. As much as I hate to say it, but harrassing someone for walking down the street is just giving people more reason to fear and hate you. For all you know he is a mutant."

Breath has posed:
Breath nods, "Yeah, I mean, he doesn't look like an armed rioter, and like, I don't see anybody hiding any bombs under that shirt. I've been looking around and I haven't seen any trouble so far. They haven't had any time to do anything, and they're probably figuring the Veep will do all their work for them. So we totally have the night to relax and get ready to smack down whatever stupid comes on the news tomorrow, right?" She wanders a bit closer, heel toe and femme and harmless, and smiles at everyone.
. o O ( Yay, +5 xp to Girl skills. Go me. )

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm finally seems to havea mood change, "Wait. What? You don't know who I am?" he looks around at the group that has ammassed,

"Wait, no one knows who I am?" he throws both hands up.

"This. Is. Brookyln. Not bum spot Nebraska!"

Cyberdragon has posed:
"Well to be honest you kinda look like that hot head Johnny Storm. But then what would some big wig like him be doing in out little spot?" Durge says,

Breath has posed:
Breath eyerolls. "It's *dark*, and I assume the people actually looking at your *face* are the ones who are supposed to recognize the celeb power, gawd." She looks up at the bouncers, like seriously?

"Anyway, yeah, what brings you out this way?"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm begins to get even more angry, "We have a base right over there," he points towards the river to the west. "I walk around this parts all of the time," he starts to point at the homelss he has given money to. "JStorm!"

"JSTORM!"

"Do I always have to be on fire for people to recognize me? Huh? HUH?!?!?"

Cyberdragon has posed:
The Dragon looks over at Storm and will come to say, "yeah Deffinatly Storm." he says. "I know who you looked like Johnny boy, I didn't want to make an ass out of myself assuming it was someone so famous. And for the record, believe it or not. People actually would feel better in the area if they knew a big name hero was watching over them." he says.

Quartz on the other hand says, "I don't really watch much TV on them heroes, they show up when there's trouble and never stick around..."

Breath has posed:
Breath sighs. "Okay, okay, we get it. And kee-rist, I don't stick around because I have two things for them to think I'm a freak about, and I don't want them stirring up trouble on either one. It's bad enough calling the police at the shelter and hoping we don't get the bad one. So what's up?"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm is still in his own feelings, "I mean, I don't know who you are or you are or you are or you are," he points to every present.

"And I would not stop in of you in the street, but the JSTORM!?!?," he points to a random homeless person that he had just given money to and says, "Hey, my dude?"

"What's up JSTORM."

TUrning back he throws a thumb in that direction, "He doesn't even have a tv."

The taking a stance towards Quartz, "And that is because we are busy protecting the Universe, do you know how much time it takes to protect the universe and how far away that place is. I can only spend a little bit of time here. I have two way tickets to pluto and places beyond and back!"

He crosses his arms in indignation, "Never apprciated...NEVER! They don't even recognize me," he grabs his phone and starts blogging right there, "I am in BORRKLY...not NEBRASKA and no one knows who I am...etc.." this rant likely goes on during whatever else anyone says....

Cyberdragon has posed:
Cyberdragon looks at Johnny Storm "Well to be honest unlike you Storm, I seriously doubt they care about two way tickets to pluto. unless you can send all the racists in the world there. Then again I doubt anyone would be left on earth." he says honestly. "And frankly I care more for helping those around me than worrying about saving the universe. Or pandering about my Ego." he says. "If everyone here is alright I am heading back to the tower." he says and turns to move away. Durge waves Cyberdragon off. As Quartz looks to Durge, "yeah you were right, hot head."

Breath has posed:
Breath just looks between everyone and shrugs a bunch. "Right then. Breath out then I guess? Everything seems A-OK here." She takes in a deep breath, waves, then takes a couple of steps and blasts off into the sky toward her next stop.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm humphs and annouces to no on in particular, "EGO? I don't have an EGO!"

After a moment to relax he says, "Is the bar still open?"

Cyberdragon has posed:
Quarts rolls those crystal eyes as he says, "Yeah bar's still open." Talk about denial....

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm nods and flashes his ID pointing to his name then walks into the bar.
