Redstar has posed:
Today is a day when people are visiting museums and doing indoor things. That is because of the icey rain that keeps falling on and off. But it isn't going to stay a family fun day.

From the dark and stormy sky streaks a black object wreathed in green flames. It lands before the Natural History Museum with a huge *BOOM* of force, sending people withing 100? falling down. The black thing stands, still aflame, and reveals itself to be female. Her skin looks like it is made of obsidian. As fast as she landed she is moving quickly to one family. Still downed the group of four are blinking in a daze. Two mothers, a young son, and a young teenage daughter, probably about 15.

The figure reaches down and yanks the girl to her feet. It can be seen she is trying to communicate, but all that anyone around can hear is the crackle of flames. The girl stares in fear that is slowly fading away at the thing holding her by the arms.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue didn't happen to catch the sight-show outside, she was coming out of the museum after having met a few friends from College there, they had coffee in the cafe and walked around for awhile. But now, coming back outside she was moving down the steps from the busy museum and reaching her gloved hands up to put her hood up over her head.

It was the 21st, Rogue was about to turn 19 years old in three days... she wasn't sure what she was going to do for her bday, the friend's she'd talked to already were busy... which was a HUGE bummer.

Her eyes looked up from her phone, there was a commotion out here? Something was going on?

"Hmmm.."

Michelangelo has posed:
    The dreaded shortcut!
    Hoping to find a new route that could get him back to Brooklyn nice and fast, it's through sheer coincidence that the orange-bandana wearing turtle is here at the moment. As he was cruising through the streets, the sight and sound of the BOOM had obviously caught his attention. Naturally curious, he had parked and then made his way through the freezing rain to the scene. The sea of people fleeing didn't seem to care about the one turtle headed towards the museum, rather than away from it.
    Seeing the feminine figure clad in obsidian reaching out and grabbing the girl, the turtle lets fly a half-full cup of orange crush! Freshly ordered from a local pizzeria, the 'large' cup flies through the air, threatening to hit the alien and spill the remaining soda-y goodness on her. Yeah! That'll teach her!
    "Yo! Hands off the human, alien. Why don't you go pick on someone your own size?" The turtle purses his lips a bit, trying to focus on the figure. Nunchucks are wielded and ready! They sit ready to fly, one held in each hand. Truth be told, he was a bit scared. He had never seen an alien before. o_o

Redstar has posed:
The 'alien' doesn?t release the girl as the cup hits and splatters them both. Oh sure there is a little recoil, but the obsidian person looks at the dripping sugary sweetness then the turtle. Where her eyes are, for the black glass-like skin is cut just like a human face, are green with flames. A hand raises towards the turtle and a jet of green fire erupts for it, aimed at the turtle.

The girl she holds does not appear to be struggling. In fact her face is one of surprise and concern. "Maya?" She can be heard to gasp. The figure's head snaps back to the captive teen and then hugs her close. The family is struggling to their feet and staring in fear at the flaming creature.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue's pale green eyes catch sight of the Turtle, she knows him, and when she sees him toss the cup she starts to jog down the stairs and around the corner to see it slap into the Obsidian figure-and the girl they're clutching onto.

"Shit." Rogue mutters, giving a look around from her her hood, left to right, others were looking. "Great."

Rogue'es eyes shot back when the green flames went toward Mikey and then she lifted up off the ground and flew toward the action with her brown leather trenchcoat weaving in the wind around her body.

"Hey!" Rogue said down to the one firing the flames. "Stop what you're doing!" She was trying to be all professional and such, like Mister Stark would want her to be, right?

Michelangelo has posed:
    "...I did NOT think that through." Michelangelo remarks to himself as the soda splashes onto the girl as well. His own baby blue eyes attempt to stare down the black flames of the aliens own, but... he fails. The narrow glare turns to a bit of wonder, and then even some fear. "Oh 'sup, gurl? NOW you want some of this, huh?!" Ducking and rolling to the side, Mikey avoids the green fire that erupts from the alien hand. It burns the rain and icy sleet behind him, if nothing else.

    Looking up from his crouch and hearing a familiar voice, the turtle turns to look at Rogue breeze past him with her powers of flight. "W...woah!" He gasps in some surprise, standing up straight. "Yo, watch out Ro'! That fire is no joke! Nearly turned me into some sorta soup!" Running for the family that is near the girl, he starts waving his arms wildly. Nunchucks flailing, just to get more attention. "Get out of here, dudes! Go! I'll make sure the girl is alright!"

Redstar has posed:
The girl is hugging the creature in turn and starting to cry. The flames do not seem to be injuring her though. "MAYA!" The younger teen sobs. It is hard to tell expression on the carved rock face, but the creature looks sad. It reaches up and wipes away a tear before shoving her back to a terrified mother. The other mother, also afraid, is staring at the 'alien' in puzzlement as well.

Pushed out of the way means the arms that reach through from thin air find no girl. And as Rogue and Michelangelo move closer they can see the burning tear in space and a figure in red on the other side. The voice made of crackling flames tries to speak again, pointing at the girl as it steps in front of the portal. Soft chanting begins to sound and the obsidian being freezes in place. The flames still dance all over her black skin, but she appears frozen long enough for the two to close the distance.

Rogue has posed:
Being that this was such a public place and at a busy hour of the day, there were already two NYPD Police Cars on-scene and four cops moving over toward where the event was taking place.

Rogue swept past Mikey. "Be careful! Don't get soupified!" She shouted back to the Turtle as she stayed up in the air and did a full circular perimeter sweep around while observing the situation down there. "What'n the hell is goin' on?" She said out loud.

Rogue dropped out of the sky and started walking toward the Obsidian figure. "You're endangerin' lives here!" She shouted at them, her southern accent lacing each word. "Cut this shit out, or I'm gonna have'ta send ya t'jail in an unconscious state with these fine officers."

The cops? They were never quite ready for these sorts of things, but they had some pretty powerful tazers that they were getting ready to use...

Michelangelo has posed:
    "Errr, Rogue?" Mikey drawls a little, hesitant on how to best approach this. He was trained to fight baddies! The guys robbing stores. Not... whatever this is! Obsidian aliens that cry portals to other dimensions. O_O "Tell me you have some sweet Avengers-type plan that can solve this mega easy!" As the chant continues and the obsidian being freezes in place, the turtle hears the sound of police arrive too. Swallowing audibly, he awaits some sort of leadership instruction. Taking point wasn't really his go. Not yet, anyway.

    "I wish Leo were here," He mutters. "Hell - I'd even take Raph. Those guys would know what to do." His three toed feet wedge in the ground a little, perhaps sturdying himself against any sudden attacks that may come his way.

Redstar has posed:
A voice that is many voices, distorted, comes from the otherwise unmoving creature. Behind it the portal blazes, only seen when standing directly in front of her.

"The girl is ours. The time has come. Give us our daughter!" There, a demand, though not exactly helpful. If anything it confuses things more.

Tasers fly and skid off stone skin, falling to the ground. One especially skilled cop brings out his gun. Many people have scattered by now. Those remaining are the idiots with cameras recording or those unable or unwilling to flee. The small family that has already been accosted is one of these.

"Give us the girl," The Same dispassionate voice speaks and the obsidian turns to hold out it's hand to the family. It seems suddenly uninterested in Rogue or Mikey. The family recoils and puts themselves between the crying young teen and the others.

"It's Maya, mama! It's Maya!" The teen is sobbing, trying to push past to go to that out held hand.

Mikey may be feeling out of his depth here. But he sees another rip in space appear behind Rogue. A red figure in red steps through it silently, reaching out to grab the teenage mutant, not the turtle, from behind. A green fire, similar to obsidian-girl, wreathes his hand.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue's green eyes swept over to Mikey and she was a bit surprised by this herself... maybe not quite on his level because she's seen a lot of crazy stuff, but she was still quite a bit put 'off' by this. She wished Doctor Strange were here... But he's not.

Rogue started forward then when the Police Officer Tazers failed do anything. "Fine, gotta do everythin' myself." She muttered the last part.

Rogue's intention was to go to the Obisidian person and just punch them, hard... in the face... and considering she can lift up to 75 tons, it'll be a powerful hit.

She's not yet aware of the portal behind her, or the person behind her, but if danger is befalling her her 'seventh sense' will alert her, but it might be too late since she's focused on throwing that punch to the perceived child kidnapper!

Michelangelo has posed:
    "Ro'!" Mikey calls, more out of instinct than anything. And it's that very instinct which propels him forward with great agility and acceleration, his ninja training enabling him to move quicker than his size belies. With a neat flip he clears the female mutant (who is in fact, laying the beat down on the obsidian chicka!), and after extending his foot, attempts to send all of his collected momentum along with gravity straight for the red figure that steps out of the portal! Yep. It's a good old fly-kick, aimed straight for the face of this other-worldly being.

    Nunchucks are still in hand, ready to lay any follow-up hit with a sweet combination of ninja prowess. But with any luck, this kick will send the red figure straight back into the portal from whence it came.

Redstar has posed:
*CRUNCH* Is the feeling under the turtle's foot as his kick connects. The green flamed hand doesn?t reach Rogue and he does go stumbling back into the portal with a very human cry of pain. He is dragged aside and a larger man steps through. Much larger and built like a brick. He wears a red tunic and pants and an unfamiliar symbol is emblazoned on his chest. Hair shaved and head tattooed in black tentacles that seem to move of their own accord.

The obsidian being goes flying forward from the punch and crashes into one of the golden lions. There is the sound of metal being pounded out of shape. Where Rogue's fist hit green fire leaps, devouring cloth but unable to burn the tough girl. The family screams and bolts for the entrance of the museum. Both mothers have a different child, the boy being carried, the girl being dragged. The teen does not wish to be removed from the obsidian's presence and struggles, crying out, "MAYA!" As she does, tears running down her face.

The creature pushes away from the cracked and bent lion. Rogue can see the cracks spreading from the point of impact, but it also is strong and it is pissed. The creature screams and it sounds like a roaring fire as it launches at Rogue, 50 ton punch of green flame heading for her at just under the speed of sound.

Rogue has posed:
After throwing the punch and watching the Obsidian One go flying into that golden statue, Rogue just grinned with self satisfaction. "Sit down." She said after the other, a good old fashoined taunt was always fun.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Mikey's bulky form go flying past her and it amde the girl with the White/Brown hair spin around to see him kick another attacker back into a portal. "Nice one!" She said to Mike, moving to give him a High-Five only to see that her glove was on fire with green flames? "Yeegh." Rogue quickly pulled the remainder of the gloff off and threw it onto the concrete.

She then turned her eyes back to Obsidian to see them marching back at her, so with her hands... she reached up to catch the punch! "Not gonna happen!" Rogue said back at her attacker. "Ya done mesed up, comin' here!" 50 tons was a lot! But she could take it with a strained look on her face.

Michelangelo has posed:
    "BOOYA-KASHAAAAA!" Mikey cries in victory as his foot crashes into the red figure and sends him sprawling back into the portal. Using this as a platform, the turtle backflips off of the creatures face and lands in a ninja-y crouch. "Aw yeah, we're walking together!" The turtle grins, glancing over to Rogue. "This is just like that movie 'Crazy Demons From Dimension 2: Extra Cray Cray in Manhattan! Where the guy and girl form this dynamic duo team-up." It's a classic.

    Then, of course, the much larger man steps through to approach the ninja turtle. "Dude, you left your protein shake back in your other dimension. Maybe you should head back and get it, huh? Don't wana lose those swole gains." Pause. "Yo, what's up with those tatts?" He had observed the tentacles moving on their own accord. o_o "You might want get that checked out. Anyway, it's you and me, big guy." Seeing the sight of this human enemy (despite the strangeness) had put him at ease and made him relax somewhat. He could fight this guy. He puts that to the test, aiming to send a swinging nunchuck into his opponents knee to try and dislocate it.

Redstar has posed:
The moment that Rogue catches that fist it starts. The black spreads from the creature up Rogue's arm. As it does it peels away from what quickly is revealed to be a teenage girl. Twin to the one sobbing and fighting to run back. The green hellfire travels along also, dancing merrily but not burning her. The punch loses all power and the girl collapses.

The darkness spreads, going deeper than the skin, as she absorbs whatever that was. It is like fire in the blood, burning away at what is good, true, and beautiful inside the young Avenger.

Mikey has a whole other problem to deal with. The nunchuck hits and there is a notable crack of breaking bone. The leg bends inwards, but the man just smiles. Then it is his turn and a meaty fist with the power of a charging rhino heads for the turtles chest, intent on sending him flying. "You will feed the daughter of our lord nicely," He replies in a slavic accent.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue had flashed a big grin at Mikey's words about the movie and their team up, she enjoyed his personality and it reminded her of her own quite a lot. But with that punch incoming she put her focus on that!

What she failed to do was remember that she'd just lost a glove to that burning fire and that that meant she was-- Rogue started to scream as she started to absorb the hellish creature! Her body was consumed by the power of it, sliding beneath her clothes and into her soul!

When it was all said and done, Rogue released the absorbed girl and let her fall to the ground... She stumbled backward and shot her confused and embodied eyes around, right to left, frantic... scared, angry.

A second later and Rogue shot to the skies sending out a massive ring of kinetic energy from the sonic boom of her taking off at such high speed toward the clouds above!

Rogue was still inside her own body, fighting with the Demon inside her now and she knew she had to get away from this public place!

Michelangelo has posed:
    There is no moment to brag about the dislocated knee strike. Heck, Mikey was ABOUT to, but seeing that it did practically no damage to the man in question, he just swallows. "Uh..." CRUNCH! Michelangelo's eyes nearly pop out when he is struck in the chest. Though he's able to get arms up in a 'cross-arm block' position, the force is still strong enough to wind him considerably. Sailing back through the air, the turtle lands in a heap. On his shell luckily, protecting his gooey insides from harm. Sliding to a halt with a loud gasp, he opts to just lay there for a moment. "...did someone get the number of that truck..." He mutters allowed, slowly yet surely getting to his feet.

    "Rogue!" He calls out, watching his mutant ally fly up and into the air with great speeds and force. Welp. Looks like he's on his own for the moment. With arms that he cannot feel and legs that feel like they're made of jelly.

Redstar has posed:
The muscle man stalks towards Mikey with a sickening smile. But his knee is obviously still broken, the way it cants gross to the aide. "I like turtle zoop," He says in his accent. Then he, awkwardly, runs at Mikey screaming like some kind if barbarian.

The tattoos writhe and Mikey watches his muscles swell and pop disgustingly out. Like the stove top popcorn things. Gnarly dude. He swings a meaty fist down at the turtle cackling madly. Green fire flickers in his eyes.

"MAYA!!!!" The teenager breaks free of her mother and runs for her fallen sister. She falls to her knees beside her twin and pulls her against her. Crying ugly tears she rocks back and forth, holding the limp form.

Ob yeah and the police? Sirens are coming and tazers sail into the muscle mans back. It seems he is susceptible because before the blow would hit turtle he is jerking from the voltage...and laughing?

Michelangelo has posed:
    With his legs still wobbling beneath his frame, Michelangelo grits his teeth amid a swell of concentration. "You're straight from a comic book man," The turtle breathes in reply, ducking underneath the huge swinging fist to aim a counter attack! His nunchuck spins hard, crashing into the OTHER knee that the muscly man has, just as the tasers hit him in the back and start frying his flesh. As the beefcake jerks about and laughs, Mikey takes this moment to put some distance between the duo. "Aw yeah. I hope you like stir fry! Cause that's exactly how you smellin' right now, dude." Please. As if Mikey knew what a stir fry smelled like. He's probably never had one!

    Regardless, with the demon now attached to Rogue and the muscly man in the hands of police, the turtle starts to make his escape. The longer he lingers here and the more exposed he gets to the authorities, the worse it becomes for him. At least, that's how it's always been in the past. "Enjoy your jail cell. Last I heard they don't even get wifi." Ugh! With a cheeky salute, the turtle makes his escape -- retreating in the cold rain and back to his van. Obviously he's happy enough to leave the girl there, letting the proper people deal with it.

Redstar has posed:
The man goes down finally with nasty electrocution marks on his back from the multiple tazers. His other knee being shattered doesn't help. When he falls the muscles recede into his skin again. The portals have closed and it looks like the assailants have decided to try again...later.

Police carefully approach the downed muscle man, bringing out the special cuffs. They are bolted on and thick and his feet are locked down as well. Just in case a power-neutralizing collar is placed on his neck as well. Yet they are having trouble moving him.

The family has converged on the downed girl and her twin. There are tears and more crying as they try to wake Maya. The scene secured ambulances arrive to do their part and then a special transport for the unconscious assailant. Kidnapping avoided and a culprit captured, but at what cost?
