Kid has posed:
Down by the public library near Bryant park, people the traffic of the area was quite average. Folks going and comming to the library often used the park as a quick through way when going a short distance from another stop. But sometimes trouble brews in even unexpected places like this.

Trouble being a small start up gang of hoodlums wishing to cause trouble. Mostly by trying to rob everyone in sight using a hit and one tactic. Screams and shouts go out as people purses, backpacks, shopping bags and even car keys are snatched up by stranger wearing Black and Pink Hoodies...some fending off their victems and making them thinks twice about giving chase by using guns or knives as intimidation

And one of those people happened who was being robbed was Kid. Unfortantly for the would be robber, he wasn't so intimidated and began chasing the hoodlum like a wild animal. Yea, robbing a gorilla was not a smart move as now it may be the hoodlum who may need saving

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
The problem with doing crime in this city, is that there's no shortage of heroes. Worse? Some of them have special senses, magical senses, animal senses, or downright alien senses that alert them to trouble. Doesn't take long for Captain Marvel to swoop down from above, calling out, "I don't care what's the excuse here, mutant, alien, whatever, you guys do not get to do as you please with the denizens of this city." She absolutely ignores the fact it's the hoodlum who is on the run, after realizing a gorilla is no child's play.

Stardust has posed:
Screams! How annoying. When you're out and about enjoying the sights and sounds of Bryant Park, you don't really want the sounds to include screams, because that means you have to do something such as running away, or running towards, depending on the kind of person you are.

Colette is the kind of person who runs towards. No, that's not quite true. Colette is the kind of personwho takes a moment ducking behind one of the winter village shops that have been set up there to become Stardust. Stardust doesn't walk run towards screams either, she flies, but then she's not the only one.

    Stardust arrives at the most interesting part of the scene, where Gorilla and Kree have met, already having intercepted a couple of the crooks, a pink-and-black hoodied perpetrator dangling from each hand. They have the air of people who really don't want to be there, but at the same time really don't want her to let them go. This is probably because they are forty feet in the air.

    "Hey, it's sleeper-hold Lady!" Stardust calls out to Captain Marvel. "We met a few months ago. Uh... there is a gorilla. Why is there a gorilla?"

Kid has posed:
A very very VERY pissed off gorilla for that matter! If it wasn't for the horde of black and pink hoodlums, one could have mistaken Kid for the issue! And he probably was about to become one as he LEAPS onto the running hoodlum he was chasing obliviouse to Stardust and Captain Marvel. He let out a roar in the man's face who assuredly pees his pants in terroras Kid raises a fist ready to pound him into paste.

Meanwhile, the people dangling from STardust...don't struggle, they cling to her! "OH HELLS NO! Uh uh! Don't drop us!!!!" goes one while the otherone merely begins praying. Clearly they had no idea what they were getting into.

And Captain Marvel....was enough of a presence and known name to send many others scattering. Dropping the pilferred goods. Other freeze, unsure of weather to run, stay or something else. A third much smaller group...point their weapons at the gorilla, Captain Marvel, and Stardust. But judging by the way their hands where shaking...this was a really really young group, or a group unsued to all of this nonsense.

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
"Gorilla guy..." Marvel calls out at Kid when he gets more serious with the guy who tried to steal from him, "I think he learned his lesson, you might want to tone down the King Kong bit..." yeah, Carol had a way with words on occasions, wasn't always PC.

But as she takes note of the weapon trained their way, Captain Marvel starts to glow a radiant white aura, as she flies higher in the air, looking with glowing eyes at the youngsters with the weapons, "I would suggest surrendering as your best course of action...I don't know if I can hold the gorilla back before you're toast," she advises the hoodlums.

Stardust has posed:
Stardust quickly does exactly what the two dangling guys asked her not to, and lets them go, somewhat forcefully. She's nice though, letting them go on the roof of the Bryant Memorial, with the quickly muttered advice "Don't jump, you'll break your legs. Get you down later."

    "Quick note," Stardust provides a yelled addition to Captain Marvel's warning. "I'm bullet proof. But I tend to break limbs that are used to point guns at me. Guns on the floor. NOW." However it's the gorilla and his soon to be pasted victim that Stardust pays her immediate attention.

    Stardust drops by Kid, and reaches out a gloved hand to take gentle hold of the giant raised fist. "Hey there mister 'rilla. No smooshing people if it can be avoided, even bad people. Also you might want to get up off him, I think he just peed his pants. Don't want that on your fur." She's not sure how strong gorillas are and can't really guess if she has the strength to stop that fist descending, but for now at least, the grip is gentle, very clearly not being aggressive towards the giant ape.

Kid has posed:
Well, between Captain Marvel threat to let the gorilla go ape on them more or less, and Stardust more direct threat to break bones...the weapons are slowly put down. Thankfully not everything has to end in bullets flying. They don't look the three people in the eyes and simply raise their hands. The sound of sirens comming could be heard.

As for Kid, his head first snaps to Captain Marvel, and than to Stardust - he screamed aggression and anger. And let out a rather savage growl...but none the less, he seems to (mostly) listen to the two powered ladies. Mostly being the opperative word. He get off the man he is on...before promptly ripping his prized tattered back pack off of him and tossing him aside quite roughly.

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Marvel seems pleased with the goons being disarmed, and with the sound of sirens approaching, it seems there won't be any more involvement on her behalf necessary. She does look a bit concerned at Kid, though, muttering to the gorilla, "if you can't control your anger, sooner or later you'll be taken for a monster. Trust me, you don't want that...I can help, if you need to work on that," she offers, before offering a quick salute to Stardust, and flying onwards as if she wasn't there, letting Stardust and Kid take the credit for the averted mayhem.

Stardust has posed:
When the fist does not come down, Stardust takes her hand away. She does not flinch at the savage growl, but does turn her head slightly away for it. Her eyes don't go downwards - they go up slightly, and she smiles. The message should be obvious - I'm not intimidated, but I'm not challenging you. "That's the stuff, Mister 'Rilla," she says slowly and clearly. She has no idea whether he understands her or not, but that's never stopped her talking to anyone. Or anything, for that matter. She breaks into a grin and in a lower, confidential voice, adds "Speaking one ape to another, I find showing mercy shows them how little of a threat they really are to you, know what I mean?"

    Stardust returns Captain Marvel's salute smartly, and points a finger after her as she departs. "Thanks! But next time, how about a name before you vanish?" she calls out after her. Stardust turns back to the Gorilla, looks at him a moment, then shrugs her shoulders. "I think quick exits are that lady's thing. Probably sensible." She turns her head in the direction of the arriving police cars. "Who wants to have to give statement?"

Kid has posed:
Well...the gesture may have been obviouse to other rillas...not so much this rilla, he half understands it, is half confused by it. He snorts at her statement not seeming to quite buy it. He looks as Captain Marvel takes off - his temper has proven to be quite the....issue in many cases.

As he stands on his hind legs though...gone was the gorilla and in it place was simply a very disgruntle teen looking human - one most would peg for a mutant. It wasn't a transformation, but a mere blink for it to occure. He signs to STardust - a watch on his wrist speaking and translating his sign language "...I don't do statements"

Stardust has posed:
Stardust takes the transformation surprisingly in her stride. "Ah, I guess that answers my question," she says. "I was wondering how stupid someone wouldhave to be to try stealing a backpack from a gorilla. I know another guy who does the same trick. He's green though. Ever seen a green gorilla?"

    When Kid starts signing, Stardust is at first intrigued, then relieved that he did indeed understand her. "Yeah, me neither," she agrees, glancing to the side. "And from my long experience in avoiding them, we've got about five minutes before they decide the scene is secure and anyone remembers to start informing people statements are required. Lucky for you the witness statements will mention a gorilla, huh? My name's Stardust by the way. With the Titans."

Kid has posed:
"Oh no. They were truely stupid enough to steal from a gorilla. Though depending on your actualy question - it may or may not be the answer. Never seen a green gorilla, except myself. Well got greenish skin, not so much fur, that still black" Kid signs. Stardust seems cool.

He signs "In gotham you got 15, helps a ton. And yea, lucky. But next time I am ripping his arms off." and he seemed dead serious as he signs that. Still very aggressive. He signs "Jua Madala, kinda of with the Embassy...kinda not" he shrugs and begins walking as he signs "Best get moving cause them sirens getting louder"

Stardust has posed:
Stardust walks with Kid a little, which might not exactly help him stay inconspicuous. If the worst comes to the worst, she's pretty sure she could convince a cop she just escorting Kid out of the danger area and he hadn't been involved. "You don't want to do that," she says. "In this city, within a week some mad scientist will have built him robot arms and he'll be back on the streets with ten times his strength. And then the robot arms will develop a mind of their own and drag him around on a murderous rampage of their own. And then some alien bounty hunter will just happen to be passing by and get in a fight with the robot arms for no apparent reason, while the guy is screaming loudly and just generally being WAY annoying. Believe me, this kind of thing happens ALL the time. You know what's good? Pipe ties. Kinda like those plastic cable wrap things? But metal. You can get them off Amazon. Ankles and wrists, takes a couple of seconds, let the police deal with the clean up."

    Kid will probably have figured that this woman can talk. "So, Gorilla City embassy? Ah, cool. Nice to meet you, Jua. So a Gorilla that turns into a human rather than a human that turns into a gorilla. That makes sense. If you got any trouble, you give us a call at the Titans, ok?" She raises up of the ground, hovering beside him as she prepares to fly away. "And please, no diplomatic incidents!" she adds with a wink.

Kid has posed:
"No promises. SOme beasts they just can't tame" Kid signs. He doesn't bother correcting Colette. If she wants to think he is a gorilla that turns into a human, that is fine by him! But dang this girl can talk...he never seen anyone talk that much. But it was better than not talking at all. But still, he doesn't mentioned much else himself. He just drains folks minds, does the job just fone. "Anyays see yea Starlight" he signs. It hard to tell if he was getting the name wrong on purpose or not, but regardles he doesn't keep Colette and goes on his merry way.

Stardust has posed:
"Tame is overrated," Stardust says with a laugh. "But an easy life isn't. Don't forget that part. "

    Stardust heads up, rocketing into the sky to let Kid go on his way with just a final "Seeya Mister 'Rilla. And that's DUST!"
