The Novel Guardian

[Action]

While Spark was quite excited about being accepted into the Omegafriends, the fact the base was sealed off put a rain on her parade. She took a few moments to study the inscription on it which is to say Zapps took a photo of it before she decided to rip through it. "BLADES!" She yelled before charging up her arm blades. She cut a precise round hole through the first layer of blocks, using as high energy blades as she could muster. "SOLAR PANELS!" She stated, loudly. It would draw attention how she shouted her moves before doing them no doubt. Her thrusters changed into solar panels, basking in the warm sun of mid day.

Finding another layer of rock, Spark let out a long, frustrated growl. She brought her fist back and punched this wall, which just hurt them both. She was still in blades mode, not fists! She clutched her hand, flailing it around some to let out the soreness. Then she noted the extra clues on this layer. What was this all about? She knew Blue Bird or Lady Blue or Big Blue had been up to something, but she wasn't entirely up to speed on her taking the base or whatever she did.

Maybe someone might help her?

[Network Audio-Later that Day]

"So the base seems to be blocked off or whatever. I don't know. Do we have a new meet up point as heroes or we just in limbo on that? Also anyone see the symbols? I took a few pictures of what I saw before giving up. I figure security for the Omegabase doesn't work like that."

"Oh, right. I'm The Electrical Current! New on the team and all that. Nice to meet you all."

"I don't know. I'm just trying to find that Blue person so I can trash her."

"I'd prefer to get the base back before trashing her, since I think she'd be the only one to know how to."

"She can bring back the base after we trash her."

"She might need her arms to bring it back."

Not that she was implying removing them, but injuries sometimes disabled them for some time.

There's an awkward pause at that.

"I never said anything about her arms! What kind of sicko are you?!"

"But you're trashing her. Figured you might sprain her wrist or break her arms."

Edited 2014-08-19 20:53 (UTC)

"Well, it all depends on how much she wants to fight! But I'm not just going to break her arms if she gives up."

There was some silence on her end.

"Heh... guess I misunderstood then. Sorry!"

"Whatever... do you know anything about where this Blue person is?"

"If I did, I would probably tell everyone on the Omeganetwork and then go bother her myself."

"Ugh, I guess. What a pain..."

"Maybe we should do some detective work? She have any usual hang outs?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of her before..."

Though, Mint was also new to the area, too, so...

"I bet the databanks on supervillains were in the base too, weren't they?"

"Probably. Geez, I haven't even seen the inside of the base yet..."

Another delay in her quest for World Domination...

"Same. Was hoping for a tour. Seemed like a neat place."

It seems we both picked an interesting time to join the team.

Yup. Yup yup yup.

Still trying to meet people on the team, what's your name?

[Sure, you can check name on the network, but polite to ask right?]

I go by The Radiant Dawn.

Cool! You got light powers and stuff? ... Oh, on a more serious note, you know anything about the theft of the whole base?

Sun powers, yes.

Unfortunately I know no more than anyone else at this point. I count myself fortunate I was not IN the omegabase when the "theft" occurred.

I as well. Too much to lose. Huh, never seen sun powers in action though.

Did you hear anything about the Protector or anyone figuring out a temporary meeting site? Would like to get to know my teammates better.

I believe most of us have used the park we all appeared in as a de facto meeting spot.

I guess I'll head up that way then.

Far be it from Rei's realm of expertise to know how to get into the OmegaFriends base (he didn't even know he was a super, for that matter), watching someone in a suit of armor as extravagant as Spark's was nothing short of eye-catching. Especially given how loudly she was shouting about her intent. Quietly, he slipped his hands into the pockets of his overcoat and moved on over to her, looking from her to the wall she was trying to destroy.

"Having some trouble?"

She took a few moments to relax, breathing hard in her suit. She muttered some chitters under her breath. Something in response made her hit the stone wall before she pulled back to look over to the man talking to her. He wasn't half bad looking.

"Yeah, finally get accepted into the Omegafriends and the base is bricked up. Figuring this is a villain plot. Was going to check the network for details. What you doing here?"

He looked passed her to the wall she'd been trying to demolish, looking vaguely enlightened and curiously intrigued. The Omegabase, huh? Funny that it was in a place he was reasonably sure he frequently walked or drove by.

"Is there not a special means of entering the base?" He asked the question before he registered she'd asked one of her own, and frowned at himself before doubling back, mentally. "I just happened by," he said, which probably sounded sketchy. Rei had a habit of sounding sketchy on a regular basis.

She scratched her head as she looked over at the problem. Zapps just followed Rei though on his end. "Well, this was a secret entrance, though if this is what happened here... I assume similar is elsewhere. You know what these symbols mean at least? Pretty new to all of this." She said, moving the cut out block to let him look at it as well as the second layer.

"I'm called The Electric Current, by the way." She offered a hand to him. Figured that might help the situation. To her, I just happened by was a pretty good explanation. Which was odd since she was normally so suspicious.

"I have heard buzzing rumors of the base being 'stolen', though I wasn't sure if there was any truth to them." He looked past Spark to the symbols, frowning in interest and moving around her, raising the camera from his chest to take a few photos. He held the camera away from his face again, frowning at the symbols. "...I'm not sure," he said finally. "I could do some research."

At her introduction of herself and her extended hand, he pivoted quickly and looked perplexed for a fraction of a second before he took her hand, shaking it firmly, once.

"Rei," he returned.

She shook his hand gently, quite gentle really. Though that was thanks to Zapps. She assumed that was the proper greeting. hugs were more common among her people, but that seemed not something strangers did here. She did step aside to let him take some pictures easily.

"Sounds good. I would normally do it myself, but I don't even know where to start for those symbols. New to the planet and all," She said, rubbing her head some, "As for being stolen, that seems... hard to believe. I mean, I see the evidence, but there must be something more precise for this than a real theft. I mean, is there a human thief capable of stealing entire buildings?"

Rei, and all included parties, were very glad that Spark didn't try to hug him. He wasn't exactly keen on his personal space being invaded, especially not by someone he had known for a scant handful of minutes.

"New to the planet," he repeated, a smile quirking one corner of his lips for a moment. "Welcome, then. I hope you find your stay here pleasant." A brief laugh, and he shrugged both shoulders. "Super Villains tend to be capable of amazing feats that defy logic and several laws of physics."

"I know! I'm from a planet where magic supervillains are all the rage. They do all kinds of weird stuff. But I mean, even the best of them would leave a gaping crater where the omegafriends base was if they stole it. Though I guess on Earth, elemental theming for powers isn't really a common thing," She said with a small chuckle afterwards.

"Thanks for the welcome. Don't get to do normal stuff that much around here yet. At the men look nice," She stated, as if this was no big deal.

Rei did a funny thing when Spark mentioned elemental themes in super villain powers, in that his entire posture shifted and straightened and he smoothed the palm of one hand across his chin in thought, his voice abruptly much deeper and refined.

"That is true, I haven't taken note of many villains with power of the elements. Heroes, either." He drew his fingers around in an oblong shape across his cheek in thought for a long moment, and then pushed that hand away from his face with his other, his posture loosening again. When he spoke a second time, his voice was back to the softer, airy tone of before. "It's not something we need to be especially concerned with."

He didn't quite seem to comprehend Spark's appraisal of the male population, though less in a way that he didn't understand and more that it flew right over his head. He was a little bit dense, and a lot new to human interaction as a whole. He did quirk a small half-smile at the comment, because it seemed like the thing to do.

"I guess not, probably just me thinking of home," she replied, looking up at the sky and sighing. Which released an awful lot of pressure from her suit before being taken back in. Would sound like steam escaping to Rei. She did give a friendly nod to his half smile. Seemed he got it. At least the reaction was what Spark would expect if he did. She puts her hands on her hips before looking down now at the ground. She then went back up.

It was clear after a few moments she was stretching out a little bit. "So, you a hero? Or just a bystander?"

He leaned away slightly when the suit hissed the release of air pressure, and then watched her little stretching exercise with a strange sort of fascination, head tilted. He couldn't quite figure out if she was a sentient suit of armor or if there was a person inside the armor. Six to one, half-dozen to another.

He chuffed a little when she asked after him.

"Neither, really," he said. "I'm a cameraman. I'm not part of the OmegaFriends by any means," Correction: not that he remembered. "But I tend to get mixed up in a lot of "hero" business in my line of work."

"That would explain why you would be here at least. Well, should take a few pictures right? Or need to wait for the reporter to be here?" She would have quirked him a smile if she wasn't behind the mask of the suit.

He seemed to understand the intent of smiling regardless of the mask, and smiled in return, chuckling.

"I could wait for a reporter," he said mildly. "But the friend of mine who is one isn't always the most punctual of people, so I'll snap a few on my own." And so he did, moving forward to get a few photos of the writing on the wall encasing the base.

She lets him take the pictures. Could be helpful to the whole team after all and there wasn't anything bad about reporters reporting the news. Best let the city know there might be danger afoot! "So you from here originally or elsewhere?"

Plus the more people that saw the strange writing, the faster they were liable to find an answer to the riddle. He stepped back and flipped through the photos he took to make sure they were in focus and then shut off his camera, turning with a quirked smile.

"From here, I think." Because he didn't really know, for sure.

"Just... think?" She tilted her head to the side in a questioning manner. How does one just think they are from a place? She didn't know.

He nodded, making an affirmative sound.

"I only remember so much," he said airily, fiddling with his camera to avoid eye contact.

"Oh... sorry to hear that. Did you... suffer a bad injury or is neurological?" she asked, in her best concerned voice she had.
