In the monitor room of the brownstone

Nov 26, 2005 20:12

Dinah has brought in plates loaded with food for herself and Pieter, though those plates are now half-emptied. "If you want more of that green bean casserole, I think there's another pan of it left," she tells Pieter. "What about dessert? There's pumpkin pie. Is that vegetarian enough for you ( Read more... )

A loud call from the main banquet hall downstairs.

Down here, Dinah.

_black_canary_ November 26 2005, 18:16:11 UTC

Okay, wrong bastard.

Still, no call to make it easy on him. She moves slowly, using her frozen comrades for cover.

one_eyed_merc November 26 2005, 18:17:16 UTC

Affably.

Dinah, I know exactly where you are, and if you take a look you'll realize you really don't want to startle me anyway.

Because his blade is directly against Hal Jordan's throat.

_black_canary_ November 26 2005, 18:19:13 UTC

Dammit.

She can't shatter the blade without risking Hal ... his ring is supposed to keep him alive, but what if Slade's found a way around that, too?

"You this desparate for turkey?" she calls out.

Suddenly they are everywhere.

GRUNDY SMASH HELMET MAN!

Giant white fists pound into Dr. Fate.

doctorfatejsa November 26 2005, 19:20:50 UTC

Fate's magic protects him from grievous harm, but he falls, and is stunned.

jla_extras November 26 2005, 19:22:05 UTC

"Hector!" shouts Lyta, launching into action. "Danette, protect the civilians!"

And her fists pile into Grundy. They've fought before, and always been fairly evenly matched.

But right now, she's pissed.

jla_villains November 26 2005, 19:26:13 UTC

GRARRRR!

He whips a wild backhand around as he turns to smash her.

SOLOMON GRUNDY, BORN ON A MONDAY!

Suddenly they are everywhere.

I call this one "Presto, You're Dead!" Abra Kadabra!

And sparkling white motes spew forth from his wand and into Firestorm's back.

jla_extras November 26 2005, 19:24:18 UTC

GAHHH!

Ronnie falls forward, unconscious.

jla_villains November 26 2005, 19:28:23 UTC

And now, the Colliding Walls Trick! Abra Kadabra!

Fists form in the walls of the banquet hall and lash out at Hourman.

jay_garrick November 26 2005, 19:32:20 UTC

A single punch flies at Abra Kadabra's head from behind him, at nearly the speed of sound.

Suddenly they are everywhere.

Always wondered what this would be like.

And Plastic Man's body starts stiffening in every extremity...

green_shield November 26 2005, 19:36:22 UTC

And that's when from behind there's the equivalent of a javelin in his shoulder, which heats and flares.

Okay, it's supposed to be used for signaling, but this guy seems to need it.

"Mom, Dad, get down and stay there!"

jla_villains November 26 2005, 19:38:22 UTC

Oh, that's it, fuck the "no fatalities" rule -

He whirls around and with his other arm directs a wave of way-below-zero cold at her.

green_shield November 26 2005, 19:48:04 UTC

Tara would duck out of the way, but there are people behind her that might not take the blast nearly as well, so she takes it and it hurts like a bitch. Having what equates to a form of artritis and then being frozen like a pork chop, not fun.

Still she takes it and is still moving. Next arrow is one of those they call a "Roy special," around the house, probably having something to do with his girlfriend. Greek fire formula. Water has zip for effect.

Roy Bivolo doesn't really have the vendetta some of his colleagues do. He hasn't been in enough fights - never mind large scale fights for the world or anything else - to make holding a grudge against any one hero worth keeping.

Moreover, he's looking to be respected. Less so from the heroes. More so from the villains.

So he doesn't care who he hits in the hero crowd once he throws down a wide cast solid beam of red energy.

reducing_ray November 26 2005, 19:29:49 UTC

Ray shoves Ma Hunkle quickly down behind the bookcase, which means he gets clipped hard by the ruby blast, and he falls down in a heap.

jla_extras November 26 2005, 19:49:21 UTC

Ma Hunkle checks the Atom's pulse. "I woulda ducked," she tells him, looking around.

zinda_blackhawk November 26 2005, 19:36:49 UTC

The ensuing sudden chaos is nothing new to the Blackhawk. She dives under the large table at the outset, letting survival instinct take over. "Son of a bitch," she mutters, and reaches for her gun. There's so much going on, it's hard to pick one target. But the loser in the rainbow colored outfit stands out a mile, and he's being passed over in favor of the others right now. She comes back up on the other side of the table, braces, aims her Colt, and fires.
