"...and folks here are eagerly anticipating this clash between the Gotham Ice Hammers and the Chicago Blackhawks, camping out for - what? I'm sorry, Tom, but there seems to be a -"

The reporter ducks as an explosion lights up behind him.

"Tom? Tom, are you still getting us? It looks like - yes, it looks like the Ray, the superhero, is attacking Chicago in what appears to be a random onslaught of violence -"

"What the high holy hell in a handbasket?"

Thankfully, the kid's not with him today, so he can respond tout-suite. Shifting into a rather large bird to bolt across the Chicago sky.

On his way, he's barking into his comm unit.

"What are you doing, Ray? This is highly irregular, Ray!"

A series of laser blasts - one of them blasting the comm - is his only answer.

Hopefully that's enough to get whoever's on monitor duty to wake up.

Plastic Man loops around the blasts as best he can, before jutting a fist out to wrap around the punk.

Is he trying to be a badass, or are we lookin' at more mind control?

"Ray, this is Egon," he says, shifting his face into an approximation of Harold Ramis. "I'm gonna drill a hole in your head if you don't tell me what your damage is."

In response, he blazes forth with white-hot light as he attempts to burn his way out of Plaz's grip.

Eel's generally got a high tolerance for temperature shifts (cold doesn't do him no favors), but this smarts,

"YEEEEOWCH!"

Instinctively, he falls away from The Ray, flapping in the wind as he does so.

Best case scenario is keeping this guy occupied. C'mon, let whoever's on duty not be as negligent as he is.

Gotta get creative. Nobody needs that water tower anyway.

He grows two extra arms and wrenches it from its moorings on a rooftop, trying to smash it over the guy's head and douse the little hot tamale to buy some time.

"Time for the worst joke ever! Hey, Ray-Ray! You're all wet!"

Over the comm: Plaz? It's Jade. How's come you're not on monitor duty? I finally got my way up to the Watchtower to visit and-- what's all that noise?

At the same time as Jade's call over the comms, Arisia winks into the area. There are always TVs on at Warriors and hockey seems to be often the most. When the broadcasters started showing what was happening she winked in.

Jade. There is a fight happening here.... with.. The Ray. It took a bit for Arisia to access the ring for it to tell her who that was.

She streaks across the sky toward the fight.

The water does next to nothing - if Ray's powers were fire or heat-based it might be problematic, but they work along his ability to generate light. At best, for a moment, his lasers are diffused into a million rainbows, dazzling anybody looking with blinding color - and then the water's finished, and he's back up in the air, firing laser bursts at Plaz - and, when he spies Arisia, at her as well. Dedicated yellow spectra blasts for the Green Lantern.

Uh, okay? I...you guys got things taken care of, then?

Clueless.

Not entirely...

Yellow. Always yellow. Luckily it isn't as much of a problem as it used to be.

Arisia ducks and dodges and dives through the blasts as she builds a reflective shield. Yellow it may be but it is also light and thus can be bounced back.

Plaz's comm unit was destroyed, so he's not hearing any of this exchange, but he's glad to see Miz Perky show up to lend a hand.

Bending himself around the blasts, he tries to remember what he knows about Ray-Ray.

"Is anybody else coming? I'm gonna be hard-pressed to handle this guy, sweet cheeks, and my comm's fried."

When in doubt, go for the nut-shot. With a big sledghammer-shaped hand, and a slingshot arm...

...hello? 'Ris, you guys need help, or, um...what?

Yes. Please.

"Jade is on her way. I don't know about anyone else."

Arisia was going to try to put him into an inverted mirror ball but she can't yet with Plaz in so close.

'Kay, I see who else I can round up. Be careful, blondie.

Jade's on her way... nummy.

Bad Plaz... although maybe he can be impressive and have this wrapped up in a jiff, if he can wrangle the junk shot he's goin' for - he's not proud.
