thelittlestbub with a guest appearance by NPC Adrian Dustin Hoffman
When: June 21st, late afternoon/early evening
Where: Sector 5
Summary: Clark and Raven are sweeping in to capture Adrian, but end up turned against each other instead. Telepaths officially suck. Jubilee saves the day.
Warnings: Inevitable violence; sheer Kryptonian power vs. Raven's magic, and an explosive X-Man determined to break them up.
Even with Batman going rogue, life went on. There were escaped lunatics to capture, and Clark knew better than to underestimate them. Monsters, fine, but the people of the city could be more dangerous than a surface glance might appear. A null could kill him, if his invulnerability and his ability to stay airbourne both cut out at once--it was something he was constantly aware of.
So he still subconsciously took Bruce's advice, from before he'd went crazy, and phoned Raven to ask her along. Her magic was a good counter for his power. What he couldn't do, she could, and their abilities balanced well.
He was sure that they could take down this guy. See? They'd have them all rounded up before the day was through.
How wrong could he possibly be?
It was late afternoon on the longest day of the year. The soft, warm, yellow sun warmed him, a reminder of the power just below the skin. And he was going to do this; prove that he was the hero that Batman seemed to have given up on. He wouldn't surrender to this.
"That's him up ahead. We'll need to get him away from everyone else first."
