RANDOM ENCOUNTERS

[wantsapprentice]

[Slade's in your City, burning your shit! Try and stop him, if you dare!]

[imonabike]

[OKAY WHERE IS THE DICKWEED.

...But in all seriousness, Cole saw the news. Heroic instincts kicked in. He'd made fun of people like this in the movies, the ones that blindly ran towards danger and were usually the first ones to die. Now he found himself falling into this cliche, not that that was exactly on his mind.

So yeah, aimless wandering guy in a yellow jacket.]

[wantsapprentice]

[HE IS CURRENTLY ON A ROOFTOP RIGHT ABOVE YOU. Seriously, a guy wrapped in a fiery aura isn't hard to miss.

And he's knocking down another building right now, how's about that.]

[imonabike]

[Well, goddamn.

Cole's a parkour kinda guy. ...No, really, that's one of his hobbies. With some added speed thanks to the superpowers he's hoping he can climb up to him without the guy noticing.

'Hoping' being the major key word here. This isn't Sam Fisher we're talking about.]

[wantsapprentice]

[Consumed by demonic power though he is, Slade hasn't lost all sense of balance so he does manage to catch the tail end of the approach, just as the building falls. He doesn't even have to gesture as a torrent of fire erupts from his body and hurtles towards Cole.]

[imonabike]

Augh--!

[Ohhhh shit shit shit. So much for that idea. Cole yelps, muttering curses and jumps for the adjacent building. He barely dodges the fire, but he can definately feel the heat on his back. Clinging to a window he twists his body around and fires off several bolts of electricity out of his hands.]

[wantsapprentice]

[There was something profoundly ironic about being attacked with electricity after the previous night's encounter, so much so, in fact, that it nearly gets a chuckle out of him. As it is, Slade simply dodges, countering with yet another torrent of fire.]

[imonabike]

[Cole leaps for the next window but unfortunately his arm gets scorched despite not taking the full blast. He yelps out in pain and loses his grip with that arm.]

Think that's funny, asshole?!

[Hanging on one arm now he swats his BURNING SLEEVE against the wall to put it out. Pain tolerance was unfortunately not on his list of new powers, so after screaming a quick "son of a bitch" he bites his lips and tries to fire off a sonic blast of air with his still-burning arm before forcing himself to climb up agian, despite the pain. At least hoping to reach him and get on the same playing field.]

[wantsapprentice]

[He does find it funny, actually, but since he's not the type for maniacal laughter, he'll settle for a smirk. What Slade doesn't expect is the sonic blast that hit him square in the side. There's pain, but only for a moment. He lands heavily on another rooftop before forcing his healing factor into high gear, will his injury to heal itself. It's an ability he didn't have until the Porter granted it, but it's proven useful on several occasions.

Straightening, he's off again, but not before creating a whirlwind of flames about himself and releasing it all in a violent burst heading straight for Cole.]

[imonabike]

[Not a big deal as it's only an 'attack' meant to knock his enemies off his feet so he can incite zappy death. ... Not like that's the case here--BUT FOR NOW COLE'S GONNA MOTHERFUCKING BREAK THROUGH A MOTHERFUCKING WINDOW, PROBABLY FREAKING THE FUCK OUT OF THE RANDOM RESIDENTS INSIDE, AND PUT HIM HIS MOTHERFUCKING SHIELD.

He used it before to protect himself from gunshots. Whirlwind of flames, though, were entirely different thing. Sure, it kept him from getting scorched for about 2 seconds, but the sheer force of the blast quickly sent him off his feet. Oh hey, burning pain. That's cool hot. Now he's pissed.

Balls of electricity soon come out from the window as soon as Cole can get up and swear to himself. Those are quick literally electric grenades, by the way.]

[wantsapprentice]

[Slade's already a few rooftops away by the time the electric grenades come his way. He pauses in his destruction for only a moment, just long enough to send blasts of fire to ignite them. There's a glorious conflagration, and he can't help but pause and admire the beauty of it.]

urgh, sorry if I godmod at all. don't do fight logs a lot and get worried I'm doing something wrong

[imonabike]

[Maybe the adrenaline is taking his mind off the burning flesh that is his left now, but Cole climbs out the window and follows him, grinding on what powerlines are left to catch up with him. He jumps off to the building right across from Slade and attempts to tackle the assface.

Yeah good job Cole ur so smrt.]

s'all good bb <3 don't worry about it

[wantsapprentice]

[Slade turns, musing slightly. Rather persistent, this one. Still, he's not about to let himself get tackled so he sidesteps neatly and brings around a flaming fist to punch Cole hard.]

yay <3

[imonabike]

[Oh jesus christ. Cole quickly turns around and throws up the same electrified shield he was using before.]

:>

[wantsapprentice]

[The flames around his hand shield him from some of the recoil, but that does drive him back, ever so slightly. Time to get creative.

He releases the fire again, but this time in strands -- whiplike cords of flaming red. Cole better be good at dodging because otherwise he's going to latch them around and squeeze.]

:>>>

[imonabike]

[Cole's burned arm was practically out of commission, not that it kept him from painfully using it, and he wasn't planning on getting deep fried in any other places. Barely, he managed to jump out of the way. Damn, so much for getting closer and just pummeling the crap out of him.]

Son of a bitch.

[He stands back and tries to simply zap him again, though the bolts oddly seem to have more force put to them.]
