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

Taunting a villain with a rocket launcher is not the wisest of ideas. Yet Cheshire did do so, mainly out of a growing frustration. So many things could go wrong and it always aggravates her when someone else is in control of things.

When the rocket abruptly goes off, cutting of whatever command was being made, her first instict is try to get out of its path. But as prepares to dive away, movement above catches her eye and for one vital second, she hesitates. Troia's condition is hardly one of good health and if this computer-brained interloper drops Lian...

The explosion that sounds as the rocket hits the ground is incredible and resulting the shockwave knocks her off her feet completely. The already intense heat of the room seems to only grow worse and another portion of the already-decimated ceiling also comes crashing down.

Hurting, bleeding from more scratches and gashes than she would care to have and feeling the unpleasant tricklings of her own blood, Cheshire curses her own foolishness and tries to at least open her eyes to take stock of the situation. Her ears are still ringing, making it difficult to hear if there is scuffle and her eyes just don't seem to want to open.

Yet despite fighting it, she can feel herself slipping into unconsciousness.

Troia is feeling out of it from the fall and the burns that continue to accumulate just being near Plasmus. That is a lot of pain, and a lot that she can't feel, which she knows very, very well is bad. The smell brings back a lot of things - the burning building the Titans of Myth found her in, some rescues that had various degrees of success...

Dying through an andriod Superman's heat vision while Dick held on and Roy closed her eyes.

She bites those back just long enough to see the missle coming straight towards Cheshire. She dives for it, but her balence is off. The rear wings hit her sqare in the temples on her left side, sending her flying. Debris rains down from everywhere and things go black for a moment as something large and metalic and...bleeding, lands straight on top of her, hitting her head and chest again - and then is suddenly gone.

Her last thoughts are for the children in the Tower, that Cheshire is likely going to find her like this, that it's been a good life - so screw you, Dark Angel, and she hopes Lian is okay...

Colonel Computron's rocket launcher went off, and it just had to be the explosive one. The child crushed his foot. Of all the -

He didn't have time to think about that. He feels the room shake and he tries to plant himself. He can't. The kid broke his foot. Thoughts fly at a split second. If he can catch himself he'll be -

Twenty seconds later, a mortally wounded villain of another era will be teleported out of the Tower and bleed himself to death on the floor of some base away from his estranged wife and child and a long way from his beloved Keystone.
