---

Kid has posed:
Ahhh! The Old City and all it's charm! Somehow through fungus invasion and alien incursion, it has managed to survive. A testament to it's old bones...or perhaps the people who live within. Small shops are common, as well as home. And while it was not a Hot bed of crime, Queensland park wasn't exactly considered the safest of neighoods. But stilol, it was a place worth visting, even at night like it is now.

For some like the 'thug' Malcolm 'Kid' IronWood, it provided a most unique oppertunity. A snack and a show.

Over the past few weeks, he taking a liken to the sound of violins playing. And a shop here had good qualities ones. Not a big music store, it was owned and run by one person. And today this person Frank, was about to get a most unpleasant visit.

Frank was closing up for the night and today was the day he needed to take out the trash. large black sack slung over his shoulder, he makes his way into the alleyway towards the dumpster to take care of buisness. Ignoreing the rats and drips of water that often colored the forboding alley.

Superboy has posed:
     Cadmus had sent their project out for some testing. Project Kr had been doing a pretty great job of it for now, and was currently flying about the city.

  The young caped boy was ecstatic, it was like getting to play outside when your parents keep you inside all the time.

Kid has posed:
Frank hefts the bag up and into the dumpster, a reveberating bang of trashbag on metal. It would be awhile before the dumpster was filled up. There were two distinct heartbeats in that alley, one stronger than other other

Frank stops cold, his heart litterly skipping a beat as he gazes up at Malcolm, with a hungry look in his eyes. The 'human' grinning with amusement. He doesn't speak though, but Frank does, taking a step back "Wh...who are you? Wh...wh...what do you want?"

And those were Franks last word as he let out a loud yell before going silent. The man lifted up in Kid's hands as his eyes glow dully. The man was struggling that is for sure and slowly weakeningly, unable to talk from Malcolms' grip.

Superboy has posed:
     The wound of a yell from the ground garner the Project's attention. Almost immediately, he starts floating over to the alleyway.

  Superboy watches as the 'kid's' eyes were glowing, doing something against the shopkeep. He lowers, hovering just above Kid. "I don't know what you're doing, but I'd let the man go before you do anything else." He gives an ultimatum, looking quite stern from his uniform.

Kid has posed:
Kid looks up and his eyes stop glowing. Frank goes slightly limp letting out a tired moan, but not a pained one. Well, this is not the FIRST flyer he met. No words are said...but none where needed, not when an illusionary trick can be used best

Kid still holding Frank seems to rise into the air, getting eye level with Superboy. A smirk is given and this illusionary dopplegangers shoots up towards the sky as if to lead Superboy away.

Which should hopefully give the real, psychicly cloaked Kid and frank a chance to finish his job if the bait is taken.

Superboy has posed:
     Superboy indeed falls for the feint, shooting back up in the air as he follows the doppelganger. He attempts to close the gap swiftly, looking to cut him off. "Ok mister. If you give up calmly, I'll make sure you're treated well." he says, knowing full well someone would want to use this guy for ill gains.

Kid has posed:
There was one -small- problem with Kid's abilities. He had a limit on his range, and could only know so much at any one point! As Superboy manages to get ahead seemingly cutting him off - the fient will go right through him and keep going up...and eventually vanishing when the illusion would leave Kid's psychic range.

Of course weather Superboy follows the illusion to that range is another matter. Since back at the scene of the crime those two powerful heartbeat can be heard. Moving out of the alley. The ringing of a store bell...the closing of a door. The thump of a man hitting the floor as someone begins to explore the instruments in the music store.

Kid knew he didn't have forever, but he still wanted a nice violin and was trying to pick out a good one, hoping Boy Blunder wouldn't show his face back here.

Superboy has posed:
     The illusion passed right through Superboy, and he looked a bit confused. No physical form...and a large sigh echoed from his lips. "You have to be kidding me." He says, zooming towards the music store again, the boy faltered as he approached with flight, dipping down and dragging on the ground until he was able to get to his feet again.

  Project Kr opened the door to the music shop, and walked up to Kid. "Nice trick." he says, attempting to reach a hand to the young man's shoulder, he was more than willing to keep this without violence.

Kid has posed:
The bell rung as Kid finally choose a violin that he had taken into hand. Of course none of this stops Project Kr from grabbing his shoulder. Kid spins around and let out an aggressive growl, baring extreamly large canines. Frank, the man who was evidently attacked layed on the floor nearby, whatever kid did to him, seems to have knocked him out. This Kid was very much real.
    The way his eyes darted about, it clear he was preparing to get out and get out fast if he can.

Superboy has posed:
The growl made Superboy's eyes go extremely wide. He never heard something like that before.

  Almost immediately, Project Kr looked to those eyes, attempting to anticipate where Kid was going to dart off. All in all, superboy couldn't really feel when his power had given out, and couldn't tell that it was certainly happening right now.

Kid has posed:
When the eyes finish darting about...they land on Superboy. Kid's eyes were another kind of wild, they didn't look human, but predatory and animalistic, and every bit as dangerous as such a creature.
    Kid had no reason to suspect Superboy had anything other than flying, and frankly he didn't rightly care. He had what he wanted. Like a bullet being unleashed, Kid Charges! His shoulder down, and the violin tucked underneath himself to protect it as he actually goes to ram Superboy out of his way..

Superboy has posed:
     Kid was able to bowl over the young Kryptonian easily.

  This of course, had taken him completely by suprise. It hurt, and it hurt more than he had felt before. But he managed to get to his feet, making a beeline for Kid again.

  Project Kr started to get the power again, he ran fast, enough to catch up to Kid. He reaches out a hand to grab, hoping his strength was back.

Kid has posed:
Kid wasn't fast enough to outrun Superboy, thats for sure! The 'man' is certainly grabbed by Superboy...which might leave superboy with a contridicting sensation! While it clearly looked like Kid was wearing a leather trench coat, what Superboy would be feeling is fur and solid muscle. Another illusion it seems.
    Regardless with the strength back, Kid is spun around. Of course Kid wasn't about to hold back. His bring his massive fist back and hurls it forward at Superboy head - should it connect, the punch might have been jarring to a human...so a stronger being might thing Kid was possibly trying to be gentle.

Superboy has posed:
     The red and blue clad teen reeled his hand back as he felt fur under his hand. "What the Hec-!" Just then, the punch connects with Superboy's face, and his head reels back only slightly. "Look, I don't want to hurt you, but you're making it -really- hard for me here." He says, rubbing at his jaw some.

  Superboy reaches for Kid again, anticipating the fur this time. He seeks to pull him back, and into a lamppost.

Kid has posed:
Well this time it was Kid's turn to be surprised. Welp clearly Superboy was not your everyday human, and perhaps a mutant with some additional powers. He wasn't sure.
    Regardless Kid is pulled back into the lamppost indeed. He drops the violin, the instrument hitting the concrete as he grapples with Superboy, and Kid's eyes begin to glow dully once again as he tries to feed from Superboy's mind!

Superboy has posed:
     Kid's psychic feeding seems to work, even with his exceptional constitution, Project Kr shows signs of weakness, his eyelids closing partially, though he is still strong, he reaches out, pulling the lamppost and tries to bend the steel around the furred fiend.

Kid has posed:
Oh no. Oh no no no no no. Kid has serious issues with restraints, with small...unescapable spaces. No sooner had Superboy wrapped the lamppost around Kid, that Kid is going nuts! The feeding ceases immediatly and the illusion drops, revealing the unsual gorilla kid was as all his efforts were forcused on one singular goal - escape. He lets out loud roars as he is fighting agaist the lamppost, looking as if he would hurt himself if he had too to get out. His body heaving and tossing, doing anything to try and loosen his prison. At the same time, his empathic abilites (not of his own choice) were sending out waves of fear, his fear.

Superboy has posed:
     Superboy feels the waves of...fear. It's a new feeling for him, and one that made him reel back. He certainly didn't want the creature to hurt himself to get out. "Hey...calm down." He says trying to speak in a hushed tone. He wasn't dealing with a thug, he was dealing with an animal.

  "Shhhh." He comments, pulling the lamppost open some, allowing Kid to get out without damage to himself.

Kid has posed:
There was no calming Kid down. Whatever sense of 'higher level thinking' in him, seem to have vanished like a switch. With enough wiggle room to get out, Kid doesn't hesitate to simply run. He rushed past Superboy, trampling the violin he was trying to steal. He rams into a car damaging it, sliding onto the ground as if disoriented, before quickly getting back up and continuieng running. Adrelalin was making him faster if not sloppier. From there he ran into the allies, not even trying to hide...he had but one goal. Get away. More likely than not, the gorilla would be making himself scarce if at all possible.

Superboy has posed:
     The young Kryptonian had began to go after Kid, but something rang in his ear. Being ordered to come back to base.

  "But, the...Yes ma'am." He says, looking to the sky again, and lifting a fist to take off towards the direction of Cadmus.
