Burn, Metropolis. Burn.

Chemo switches on. "GG56I." It's been a while since it was last active. After the chess match with Calculator, it was as if the increased sentience had put Noah off releasing the walking vat again. But this time, it's in full-sized mode, as the Society require a distraction from the rather overt assassination earlier today, and as far as ( Read more... )

Reaction in Chicago... katavatar September 13 2008, 08:22:10 UTC

Hawkman's at work cleaning up the meaner streets in the South Side of Chicago when he finishes dropping a pair of thugs and catches sight of televisions in the window of an electronics store. Covering the massive Chemo attack in Metropolis.

His eyes widen at the destruction, but before he can respond or try to contact the Watchtower, he's got another squad of idiots trying to jump him from behind.

He'll have to hope the rest of the League can handle that...

"Oof!" The KGBeast runs into a young man, about to go down the alley the Beast has just emerged from, looking for someone to help in starting his car. "Hey, watch where you're going man! Hey, are you one of those costumed heroes?" He grabs the Beast by the arm. "My family and I need to get out of here, and I can't get my car to start. Please can you help us?"

"Wait, what?" The man doesn't understand the KGBeast through his thick Russian accent. "You're Holy Sneeze? Never heard of you. Listen, help me out with my car, and I'll make sure you get a lot of publicity. I'm a TV presenter."

Red Tornado leads the reserve charge, swooping into Metropolis to survey the damage and where he's most needed.

Metamorpho materializes on a rooftop as well.

"Hey, gang, I can become any element, but something tells me this muckmonster is a lot more complex than that..."

"Flash, if you can, please assist with removing civilians."

Flying away from Donna, Diana removes her lasso, letting it play out to a length enough for encompass Chemo.

With the lasso looped around it, the Power Ring's shell around it, a tomb of ice around it, and of course, an encased crust of toxicity around it, Chemo struggles to move at all. "GG7." The cracks widen to fissures, and gloop begins to ooze out of its feet and into the ground, making the road into a toxic mulch.

Hal divides some of his focus to sheathe Diana and Superman in glowing, protective shells - proof against radiation, and with their own air supplies.

"What's the line, Superman? 'Up, Up, and Away'?"

He calls over the communicator channel.

"Rex, Reddy - coordinate with Oracle on the chemical makeup of this stuff, and do what you can to minimize the fallout. Anybody else who can fly is welcome to come to the stratosphere with us, and everybody else is on evacuation duty."

"I..." Superman wheezes, feeling his senses begin to fail as Chemo's green glow pierces his very DNA, the cancerous effect of Kryptonite working its all consuming horror on the Man of Steel.

And then, the color green saves him.

Superman stays down, for a moment, chewing on Brainiac's words. Brainiac, who did this whole thing...probably just to try and break Clark while he seemed weak. Brainiac, the arrogant, sneering alien that Luthor /thinks/ Superman is. Brainiac.

"Brainiac!" Oh, he's yelling. He should pay attention to that. "If you had...any faith at all in your mad plans, you'd be here to finish me yourself, instead of hiding behind this ignorant...thing! The only thing you've managed to accomplish..."

Superman snaps into the air, giving Hal a grateful nod before pulling into a spinning overhead punch, that knocks Chemo airborn! "...is making me really, really mad!" Superman finishes, as the Justice League works together, hammering away at Chemo until, finally, he's nearly at the stratosphere...

Catman is trying to focus through the deluge of voices, and directions on his cowl's earpiece. He sends his teammates back and forth through the downtown area, clearing out civilians and ushering them into Lexcorp provided transport.

He's human to a fault, and cannot help but wonder if the devastation happening to Metropolis is partially his fault.
