Owner	Pose
Mandy Harker	Mandy came to the Tri-State Area to look at colleges. As per her normal, she took very little time to grow bored and wander off. This accomplished, the woman dressed up in her star-studded, purple, hooded robe. Black lipstick, black fingernails, and swirling dark orbs with pinpoint red dots show from inside her robes (presumably her eyes). Right now, she's on a rooftop proper. Where exactly? A hotel, closed for renovations. This being Gotham, it took all of a week for it to be infested by criminals looking to crouch after a grand robbery of an armored truck. Mandy had followed them back to this building in her persona as the vigilante 'Bang!'. The plan today was to practice her entrances, monologuing, and heroic banter. That has kind of gone out the window. Even as she extends a hand to the rooftop access' lock to open it, the handle turns and the door opens. She finds herself staring face to face with a tall, broad-shouldered man, unlit cigarette in his mouth, rifle slung over one shoulder. Their eyes meet. She blinks. He blinks. The rifle comes up and cracks loudly in the air as she darts madly around the side of the roof entrance with a laughing,"Whoops!" Well. Looks like SHE'S not going to be taking the stealthy approach. She's really bad at it anyway!
Dan Richter	Scant breaths after Mandy darts around the corner, there comes sudden pained choking sounds and several more shots from the rifle, followed by a sickening cracking noise, a muffled scream, and the man moving rapidly past the corner! Backwards. And sideways. He lands hard and ceases moving, aside from his arm, which twitches now and then around a compound fracture.
Mandy Harker	The girl strikes a pose as she readies herself for glorious heroic combat... and deflates when the man with the rifle goes flying. She peeks around the corner and eyes the empty entrance. Eyes flick around, look to the collapsed goon, and then she straightens, hands on hips,"WOW. I am so awesome. I honestly can't even remember DOING that. My powers grow! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!" She TRIES a villainous laugh, but she mostly just comes off as silly giggling. She brushes the front of her robe down and leaps down the stairwell, landing adroitly, then rebounds off the wall and back down the next flight. She comes out of her crouched landing with a spring, knee coming up to crack into the jaw of the man waiting there with pointed rifle. Chaos ensues as she goes dodging down the hotel hallway through hail of gunfire. Improbably, not a single bullet finds its mark as she goes wheeling from recessed doorway to recessed doorway towards a trio of men down the hall. The chatter of gunfire follows her erratic bounding, rolling, and leaping. It's... good, but it's not THAT good. She really should've been hit by now.
Dan Richter	Amidst the gunfire behind Mandy is a sudden clack and hiss, followed by smoke flooding the narrow halls and rooms. Then, one by one, the choking coughs and gunfire are replaced by agonized screams and the occasional sound of glass breaking. Within seconds, the sounds stop and only what's ahead of Mandy remains active.
Mandy Harker	Okay. Now she's getting a little suspicious. Still, weird things happen around her ALL THE TIME. She decides that it's more fun to write this off to her own awesomeness. So she stomps down the hallway towards where it dead-ends at the elevator. "Crap. My other ancient enemy. Elevators." She pushes the button for 'down' several times. The elevator fails to respond. At all. Even though the buttons are still lit up. A sigh escapes her, and the girl puts her fingers to the doors to try to pry them open. When that doesn't work, she sighs, looking back to the stairs. "Mom said it's a bad idea to just break things when I get frustrated. But the stairs take so loooong." Still, she lifts off the ground slightly, floating in the air, and goes flying down the flight of stairs. Three stories before she encounters another trio of gunmen. She points a finger at them, as if forming a gun with them, and says,"Surrender, and I won't do to you what I did to your friends." The men laugh and raise their guns, taking aim.
Dan Richter	As the men take aim, the window to their side makes a series of sudden tapping sounds, as six of the other goons drop down from above and smash against them, hanging by chains from various limbs, bones sticking out haphazardly and their breathing coming in ragged pained gasps and sobs. Just enough time passes for the goons to register it before something else drops down from the other side. The Wolf finaly appears, having leapt from the building and hooked back on with a grapple gun to swing down and smash through the window opposite the hanging thugs, barely having touched the floor before leaping on the nearest goon and cracklingly wrenching his arm from the socket.
Mandy Harker	"Oh wow! Now THAT is an entrance! A little grimdark, but who am I to criticize? That's awesome!" Not wanting to bet left behind, the woman points at one, then the other of the remaining shocked thungs, and says, with a grin,"Bangbang." There's a loud 'BANG!', a flash of light, and the remaining thugs are left clutching their eyes, screaming, and temporarily painfully blinded and deafened by the mystic 'flashbang'. Rather than try to take them on herself, she just stays put, curious to watch The Wolf' at work. The man has STYLE. Style she lacks.
Dan Richter	The Wolf wastes no time and seems rather unconcerned by the strange girl with the mystical powers, pushing the one armed bandit, oh yes, I went there, over to the second goon and punching the first in the first, causing his head to snap back and crack against the other. While those two remain dazed, it's the third's turn for crippling, as the Wolf rushes behind him and uses the momentum to hoist him up and over in a German Suplex that pitches him into the other two, leaving them all splayed out and crushed under each other. But a sudden whap across their lined up heads with a retractable staff ensures they wont be getting back up anytime soon. He rises slowly and returns staff to a small pouch on his belt as he menacingly levels his gaze on Mandy. Though with the shaping of the helmet, any type of gaze looks menacing.
Mandy Harker	The woman leans slightly to the side as if looking past the shoulders of the menacing man. She blinks two or three times. Then she looks back to his 'face'. Then over his shoulder again. Her eyes are wide. Even as she talks to the man (she thinks, anyway), she keeps flicking her eyes over his shoulder, as if watching something,"You punch really good! I'm Bang! Nice to meet you!" She even sticks out a hand, as if for a shake. "By my count, there's like, ten more. I think they're on the floor under us. We could blow the ceiling, mop them up, and go for pizza. Sound good to you?" How she survives with this level of lack of caution is anyone's guess.
Dan Richter	The Wolf just stares with his softly glowing LED eyes for several awkward seconds. Then he suddenly whips a gun out and aims it right at Mandy's head! BANG! The gun fires and the bullet....goes right past Mandy's head and slams into thug just as he opens a door behind her, the man only managing to get out "What the hell's go-" before the bullet smacks him in the jaw, causing him to, strangely, recoil in pain instead of having just had his face blown off by the Wolf's handcannon. In the time it'd take to look from the Wolf, to the goon, and back to the Wolf, he's already passed Mandy and is mid pounce on the poor G-list criminal. The door swings back shut as he does, and by the time it can be reopened, the Wolf is gone, and the thug is face first through an oven window.
Mandy Harker	It's strange. The woman doesn't even seem the least bit worried the gun is going to harm her. Indeed, she raises a finger as if to warn him,"You probably shouldn't. That almost never wor-" And then the gun goes off. She looks behind her to see the thug clutching his jaw. Then the man disappears in a flurry of violence. Bang! stamps her foot petulantly,"No fair being that cool! I CALL FOUL!" Okay, now she's in an actively bad mood. She holds her hand out, palm flat, and directs it to the floor. Little silver charms tinkle within the robes, and with a loud 'BANG' sound, she dropes through a hole that opens explosively in the ground. She lands on the floor below, atop a card table covered in a pile of money. As predicted, a full ten men stand there, just staring at her for a moment, before they scramble for their guns. The girl focus, almost a low-voiced chant, as first one, then two, and then a third mook goes flying as some unseen detonation flings each in turn from their feet.
Dan Richter	As the BANGBANGBANG happens, one of the goons manages to get his gun even on the ground and levels it at Mandy. Just in time for a vent cover across the room to get kicked out and slam into his face hard enough to give him a few cuts. And within two full seconds, a foot is there to push it back in, giving the thug several more along with a concussion. And so, the fight is joined, the Wolf playing a surprisingly good team player, even with his refusal to speak, as he seems to pay special attention to cover Mandy's back.
Mandy Harker	"Oh my gods, you guys are so boned. Like, I would've been enough, but if you guys have any kind of of love for your arms and legs, you would quit now. I'm just going to ruin your day. This dude is going to ruin the next six to eight weeks." The girl laughs. The girl advances, though, zigzagging through gunfire as it splits the air in the hotel's little ballroom. Sometimes a person trips as they're about to fire. Occasionally, a bullet fails to fire, being ejected unspent. Still, it gives her a chance to close in, one hand landing on a man's face. She leans forward and murmurs in his ear,"Bang." His head snaps back, head ringing with yet another concussion. Then she's turning to kick an overturned chair into the air. An extend hand causes said chair to fly through the air with another sharp 'BANG', slamming into the gut of another man. Meanwhile, a low, whirring whine that turns into a roar fills the room moments later as automatic fire is directed at the Wolf, leaving Mandy to say,"That's a big gun!"
Dan Richter	The Wolf proves Mandy's statement about his violencing true even as she says it, dislocating one poor schmuck's arm at the elbow and then swinging him like a bat by it to club another guy across the face, dropping the first guy, and jump stomping the second's head into the floor. Like a real hero would. He finishes just in time to grab the chair from the goon's gut and fling it like a javelin at the guy with the gun, following up with a side roll and smoke bomb toss. The gun fire continues in the smoke for a couple more seconds, and is then replaces by screaming. A sequence Mandy is likely getting used to by now.
Mandy Harker	The girl shows her typical lack of concern for danger as she hops over one of the larger goons who lays groaning, and sits on his back. She pulls out his wallet,"James Dyson. Huh." A pause. "I'ma call you Jimmy. Jimmy, it turns out, you're all going to jail. You're also going to jail heavily injured, because all the craps that dude had to give were already passed out before lunch. Anybody who jumps into a gang of armed whackos in costume, you should probably just surrender to. I mean, you're lucky your guys in there are just losing consciousness. I get it. In most cities, costumes are like 'who is this idiot cosplayer', but this is GOTHAM. You guys HAVE to know better. Ya feel me, Jimmy?" The man on the ground groans in response and tosses the wallet to the ground. "You're a terrible conversationalist, Jimmy. Terrible."
Dan Richter	The smoke clears as Mandy finishes her bizarre conversation with the injured man. Just in time for an armored boot to slam down on his jaw, drawing agonized sobs from him, along with a few teeth and some blood. The room is now clear, and the Wolf is already moving to leave, a scene of carnage and despair behind him, with what few goons remaining conscious either crying, futilely trying to fix compound fractures, or trying to crawl away from the guns scattered about the room, to make themselves as little targets as possible.
Mandy Harker	The girl calls out, lifting into the air and floating after the Wolf,"Wait! I need help with something!" A beat follows,"Can you call the cops for me. Phones kinda don't work properly for me. Like, they pick up my voice, but the buttons tend to be all wonky. And otherwise, these guys are going to just sit here until-" A pause. "Oh right. The gunfire. Someone probably already called the cops. In that case, wanna get pizza?" Nevermind the fallacy of getting a masked vigilante to eat pizza in costume.
Dan Richter	The Wolf walks all the way back up to the roof, shooting out windows here and there, including shooting out the window the guys he dangled in front of are at and hitting one of the in stomach, poor guy. He stops only once, scooping up a guy and dragging him along with them by his throat, the goon struggling weakly. He drags him all the way to the roof, and Mandy if she follows, and tosses the guy next to the first goon, who's stirring form gets a stiff stomp to the back of his head, "....If you want pizza, there's usually plenty at the tower." He finaly says before pulling some chain from his belt pouches and tying it around the thugs legs. A final show of theatricality now, as while the police outside demand that the crooks come out and surrender, the Wolf moves to the roof's edge, a spotlight centering on the sudden figure, and he is illuminated in full, holding both limp thugs by their throats....and tossing them off, to join the danglers below, and giving the police a good freak out. The chains stop them after maybe one floor's fall, but the psychological effect is there and done. The Wolf turns away from the outraged police, who are now beginning their swarming of the building, helicopters already audible in the distance, "Follow me." he says at Mandy as he heads back inside, "I've already got the escape planned."
Mandy Harker	"Pizza? Score!" Like she hadn't just been asking for one! Then she reorients on the words AROUND 'pizza'. "Wait. The Tower? Which Tower? There's a lot of Towers here. It's Gotham. What do I call you? I bet it's something cool like Dethbot, or Ravenstalker, or something! Oh, man! And the way you threw those smokey things! So much bang in those! Ahahah! Yes!" She follows the man obediently, though. As previously stated, she thinks the guy has style, and she is practically sparkling with envy at his panache. "Usually, I just walk in and start hitting things until nothing's moving, but YOU? You're stone cold hardcore badassery!"
Dan Richter	The Wolf grunts a bit, "....Those are both better names than what people actually call me." He says monotonaly as he kicks out a vent and crouches down to enter it, gesturing for Mandy to follow, "....The tower is Titans Tower. Just tell them the mean one sent you. They'll figure it out." Titans Tower is well known for being not in Gotham. Sounds like he's trying to get rid of Mandy, but isn't willing to just leave her to be arrested. The rest of her statements go unadressed, as he seems intent on maintaining pace after his show of force and subsequent shot up in infamy among the GCPD.
