As the Tower Brawl Continues

[middle_amazon]

In the communal kitchen, Plasmus and Troia have been fighting bitterly. One is trying to pay back this team for humiliations real and perceived. He's been recruited to fight for money and to keep the heroes from persuing his intents on making a lot more of it. The Titan known as Troia fights for her home and for the life of Lian Harper and the

Her hand is burnt and blistered and causing her pain, though she is not outwardly showing it. Displaying weakness before anyone, is one of the few things you could not pay Cheshire to do.

The sound of heavy footsteps above causes her to look upwards and for a moment, she is torn between derision and disbelief. A man wearing what appears to be a custom-made computer-albeit a very damaged one-as a suit is holding Lian in one hand while pointing a missle launcher mounted in his other arm at her.

Yet remarkably, this fool has her daughter. Cheshire is tempted to try to attack him, but he seems to be on edge as it is and doing so could possibly hurt Lian. Nevertheless, stepping aside at his command is also not something she is prepared to tolerate.

"If Deathstroke has allowed you into his organization, then he is an even bigger fool than you appear to be." Cheshire remarks, her voice mocking.

Gods, no!

Dimly, she recalls this is one of the Keystone baddies. They usually aren't the deadly sort, but more of those type have been moving in since Barry's death a few years ago.

Everything hurts. Her legs, arms and parts of her face and chest are burnt. She feels nausated from the radiation. Cheshire very well might have saved her life.

If he drops Lian, she'll be able to catch her, she thinks but it's hardly a guarantee.

For his part, Basil notices the lady in green moving. Damn heat! All this irradiated metal is causing some of the suit's sensors to short out. "Stop or I -"

He doesn't get the words out before a rocket launches out of his arm towards the women.

For her part, Lian has been going limp the way she was taight. Dead weight is harder to carry. It's had to concentrate on when he's moving her around like crazy.

When the rocket goes off, she can feel him get way off balence. This might work.

She shifts all her weight to her right foot and slams down on his instep HARD.
