Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Juggernaut, Robin (Wayne)




Juggernaut has posed:
    Mutant Town is no stranger to feuds, fights, brawls and other assorted forms of crime. The local bars, dives, strip clubs and the like have seen their share with open arguements between various metahumans, mutants and humans often ending up in flashy results. So tat a fight is braking out at the 'Pink Kitten' strip club on one of the street corners isn't an oddity in and of itself..as much as who the fight is involving and what happens next.

A loud *BOOOOM* roars through the area, the ground shaking from a seismic event and windows blowing out in both the strip club as well as the buildings up and down the street around it. A iigure goes smashing through the front of the building to slam into and through several parked cars across the street and then finally slam into a light pole some distance away. The very ground keeps shaking, the intensity worsening until the source is finally seen. An absolutely enormous man, who looks to actually be growing bigger as he walks with a red hue of crimson energy crackling around him as his muscles pile ontop fo each other in unending mountainous bulks.

He walks forward through the entire front wall of the strip club as if he were walking through..well..a field of grace. The building slides apart behind him, people emptying the club in a panic as the behemoth of a man begins walking down the street towards the brawny grey skinned fellow who was punched several city blocks away. The ground shaking? That's being caused by his footsteps. Rumbling (TOOMS* that hit the area with his casual forward motion.
Just (not really) another night...

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
From the darkness behind him there comes a voice. It sounds like a modulated voice, but it is clear yet firm.. It comes after the explosion so soon your not sure if you heard it though someone one was trying to hide the call behind your own sound. It is a simple beconing from the dark alley accross the street. "Juggernaut... your fate lies over here."

There is no sign of someone, but there is always further into the alley it wouldn't be that hard to hide this far, but the sound was like someone throwing their voice. Or maybe.. this is mutant town there might just be an invisible person behind you.

Juggernaut has posed:
    The air flashes red, briefly blinding onlookers as the huge man is suddenly wrapped up in his full regalia. HE approaces the downed man, rumbing in a deep bassy voice, "You want to come again with that insult, chum? What's that??" As his shadow looms bigger and bigger ove rhis target..Damien's voice comes rippling through the air and Juggernaut pauses and turns his head in that direction.

"What's this now? You this idiot's friend? Come on out here and take your lumps then. I'll beat you up just for being friends with this nit wit.."

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
A small cloaked figure walks out of the alley. He stands about 4'6 though the rest of him is covered. He steps out boldly though keeps the hood down as he speaks. "You would not respect what I have to say if I had not the courage to step infront of the danger.. So here I am." he then pauses looking at him. "You are going to hear me out, one way or the other.. I may not be able to beat you, but until I am done you will hear me out."

The voice is still modulated. though there is no doubt in his words. He just stands there unmoving watching you from under the hood of the black cloak. It looks like from here he has no obvious weapons, but the cloak could hide something up to around 3' long

Juggernaut has posed:
    "What is this? Baby sitting? Or are you a hobbit or something." sneers Juggernaut. He reachesup and rubs his nose, sniffing abit and then with a flash of red, his armor and costume are gone and he's back in his strained civilian gear with his big broad chin grinning as he looks down at Damien,peering with his ice blue eyes, "What do you want? Hurry up so you can go home before you get grounded for being out to late.." His eyes flicker to the cloak but then back to Damien himself, unconcerned.

"Well?"

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
The figure sighs, and shakes his head. "Yes, act like the animal you have become. Running here and there, accomplishing really nothing of note." the figure watches him, but does not move closer. "I am here to offer you a direction, because it is time. I am here to use you to reach a higher power, and you are going to take me there."

"Look at yourself slumming it here.. In mutant town, I mean I have heard good things, but this.. realy?" the figure walks to the side a bit, "You have seen him before, but it is time to reach out further then this little goals. You just have to have the connections, and influnce to match your power." He has spoke for a bit, he went quiet waiting for the mockery, or the violence to begin. He had no doubt he would be mocked at least at the start, it was all part of the plan so he showed little doubt in his words, or his conviction.

Juggernaut has posed:
    Cain Marko frowns, his expression darkening at some of those words. ALl to familiar words really. "You got a funny way of asking for help. I heard all this before and I'll be damned if I'm goign to be lectured by a little twig like you." His tone is sharp but he doesn't come charging in just yet. Despite what others think Cain Marko is no berserker nor without restraint when he wishes it.

"You've got three seconds. Cut to the point or I'll throw you into space!"

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
The boy shakes his head, "Help, no... I want to work together. Though you are.. surprisingly intelligent.. You are not the mastermind that can do this. We need Magneto, though I am not a mutant so I need one that is to lets just say get his attention."

"Wether this takes you attempting to throw me.. into space.. or not is irrelevent. Unless you like your current position, you will eventually listen."

The boy moves back the other direction, though it is towards the alley it doesn't look like he is running, just changing his postion as he had before. "I offer you the chance to become more then just a man that charges through walls, but you are only a step in the much larger plan.. Now if you wish to do what you do, if that is what it takes to convince you."

Juggernaut has posed:
    The huge man squints his eyes and then shakes his head, "What you recruiting me for something kid? What makes you think I'm not content as is.. and..wait..wait a second. -Magneto-?! What makes you think I got access to -him-? "

His eyes widen abit and then he hmphs and places his huge hands on his broad waist, "You think I'm a mutant. I'm not a mutant! I don't got anything to do with Magneto! Is that what this is about?"

Cain actually laughs, his deep bass voice vibrating in the area and shaking nearby windows, "I don't believe this... And even if I did what makes you think either of us would work with you kid? We're on a whole different level then you. IN a different league. What exactly are you -after- boy?"

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
The boy sighs, like he has to explain it slower kind of sigh. "You have seen him before he will listen to you mutant officially or not. Did you think he would just throw away one such as yourself? If he were to do that no... we would have to pick someone smarter then that." he paces almost like he is thinking, though he does keep an eye on him.

"And why would he listen, is because while you are playing checkers we are playing chess.. I know you will introduce me to him, I know he will listen, and then we move toward the real goal." He looks at him seriously, his hood raises just a bit and you see a black mask. It isn't fancy, one you could just find at the store if you were lucky. "And the goal.. is to bring people in line. Too keep them there doing our goals until we are done with them.. Magneto would tell you its for them, to free them from these place, but me... Me I just want to fix the chaos. I want to put it right by force. I need your power, and my brains... We will take it all.. But first... First we need Magneto.. Because you are not strong enough to do it by yourself."

Juggernaut has posed:
    The Juggernaut just..stares..at Damian. In truth he's been listenign partially at pure fascination at this kids guts and ego. "You gotta be kidding me.." he rumbles, "You don't do your research on your targets well do you. LIsten, Magneto and I don't even run in the same circles and as soon as I send him an invite to meet he's going to blow it off because he'll think he'll know why. For raeasons personal that I aint going to go into but my reputation with hi isn't exactly squeaky clean. Bucket Head has his mind on thing only and that's to do with the mutants. And you..if you think for a minute he's going to tolerate listening to your arrogant human ass when he already thinks you're less then an ant to him.. you're setting yourself up for a disaster."

Cain ughs and puts a hand to his head as if he has a headache and can't believe this is happening, "Let me do you a favor. Beat it. Or better yet.. Go tothe X-Men and see how far you can get with -them-."

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
The boy looks at him waiting patiently as he talks. amd doesn't seem to be disheartened by his words. Then shakes his head. "And you are wrong.. Despite your past he will listen, you will get his attention because you will send my note. He is singular, but he is not as short sighted as you think." he looks at him.. "The time of those past offinces are over because you will be needed in the future plan.. I know that, he will know that." he turns and looks at him.. "So I will make a deal with you... I will give you one minute... If you can capture me then throw me to the moon. But if you can't you will send that letter, and when he accepts it you will understand a little better that it is best to listen when I let you into the plan."

The boy removes the cloak, and it is just a boy.. He is dressed all in black, and it looks like he has knives and darts.. there are more but it is in belts. He still has the mask on, but without the cloak his blue eyes shine through showing no fear, just that determination. "Unless you are scared of a boy... A non-mutant.. Boy."

Juggernaut has posed:
    "For the last time, I aint a mutant. I don't care if you're a human, mutant, alien or a piece of talking trash!" snaps Cain. He glres at Damien now, "I aint no killer either. I"m not -actually- going to throw you to the moon. But i'm not above hurting you to teach you a lesson. You're smart, kid, but not as smart as you -think- you are. If you think for a second I'm going to act as an errand boy for you to deliver a letter liek some roped in fool to Magneto..."

His huge hands twitch a little bit. He hasn't exactly refused yet but he's also seemingly calculating things. "I've tagged Spiderman before, boy. I can get you if I really want to. You're -not- in my league. DOn't be stupid..."

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
The boy glares at him, as he continues. "In the league each mission was life or death. We succeded or we died, it was every mission to be the best we must put it all on the line." he streaches out a little bit. "Do not think you are any different. One minute for one letter.. Call it the cost of me having to do it myself."

He turns, "If it is the only way to convince you I will do what must be done.. It is what I will do.. Different league.. you are right.. but this is for you long term ya just don't know it yet."

Juggernaut has posed:
    "The League?" Juggernaut's eyes narrow slightly at that. "Explain." he rumbles, looking for additional clarification. Something seems to set him on edge. He does run in those 'circles' after all but he jumps to no conclusions on that just yet. "WHat do you mean The League?" As he speaks one of his huge fists tightens, almost subtly.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
The boy turns, "The League of Assassins.. My name is Damian Al' Ghoul." he does a flourish bow, but Juggernaut could prob tell he was still able to move, and didn't take his eyes off Juggernaut. "I am third in line to the Demon Head, though the mission is my own. I am not my grandfather, his ways are old outdated.. He has not adjusted to the times, but I see the error in his ways though like you he doubts."

He straightens again, "I am not like them, I am different.. Stronger, faster, smarter.. Though not a mutant. It is.. complicated. So this has given me a wider view.. if you will." he watches him carefully as he continues. "Power, and influence... Send that letter, and we can work together not as some errand boy, as there is much to do."

Juggernaut has posed:
    The Juggernaut swings.

It seems to almost be a full force punch that lunges out of nowhere like an asteroid suddenly appearing and blazing towards impact. He lunges forward, bringnig the fist around with his huge body seemignly impossibly bigger as the power of Cyttorak surges through him. To Damien's vision it's almost as if the fist swallows up his entire field of view, grown impossibly big even though that's perhaps more a perception of the power coming at him. If he connects there literally might be nothign left.

But at the last second he pulls, yanking his huge arm back and instead the very air pressure from his swing continues on. A loud *BOOOM* exploding through the air in a stunt Hulk and Superman themselves have pulled before and one he's well capable of doing. The wall of pressure explodes towards Damien, widening as it does and carying with it enough force to flip cars, dumpsters blast down walls and send bodies flying.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
As the swing goes through, several things happen. As the Juggernaut moves the boy... breaks his own finger.. Sure wierd, but then the boy watches him approach though Juggernaut can see him move. He is fast, maybe not as fast, but he litteraly takes one step to the side, and jumps up.. As the waves hit small wings pop out, and using his own strengh he flies backwards in the wave riding it to throw him back far away from his fist. Almost like he planned it, though his landing seems a little rough he rolls it up and stands. "Really.. I come to you with the answer, and you punch at me.." he sighs dusting himself off.. "You don't realize the stronger you swing, the further I will go."

Turning to the side he flips over one of the cars that landed by him with one hand. "You have I would say fifty seconds left?"

Juggernaut has posed:
    "You really are League." rumbles Juggernaut, pulling his fist back and eyeing Damian thoughtfully, "I pulled that punch, chum. Not just what you saw but literally so. I -know- that you took something from that and aren't one hundred percent.... But I wasn't trying hard. I could have taken out this city block. You know that don't you." He holds his huge hand out, "Fine, gimme the letter. No promises though. You better have an extra copy somewhere just in case..."

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
The boy stands, and nods, and pulls out a note. "You will realize that I am not the normal child.. When I said I was different.." he holds his hand up as the finger is already resetting. "I ment it." and moves forward with the note. "Worse case.. you could of destroyed the block.. I would not of been there, I had to calculate the strength of the blow.. It was under the limits." he tosses the letter, and it lands in his hand. "But you do not trust me yet, you believe in the name. Perhaps that will change after Magneto, as you see the plan come together."

Juggernaut has posed:
"Kid ou can't calculate the incaluable. You're truckin' with forces you don't have a grasp of but you got balls." says Cain as he tucks the letter into a pocket. "Don't push your luck. If your'e as smart as youd' say ou know when to toe the line.."

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
There is a little "Hauf" under the mask.. "Maybe your right.. but what if I did?" he leaves it hanging as he turns and walks towards the alley. "When he is ready to meet you will find me around here. I know my limit, and I have not reached it yet." he moves deeper into the shadow. The last thing he says as he disapears again, and his voice comes from like it was closer.. "And if I was as smart as I say.. Maybe I am out of your league" though where he is in the shadows is kinda hard to tell as he seemed to disapear as he entered the darkness.
