Superhero RP

"The three of us, hell yeah we can." She grinned.

"I don't want you to get hurt, this guy is deadly" Darren sighed, "Please, just let me handle this guy."

"So erm, what exactly do you guys you know...do?" Jess asked, feeling stupid asking the question.

Aiden grinned from behind his hood. He started down the stairs, one hand on his belt. "Shapeshifter, and I make your worst nightmares come to life. You?"

Ainsley sighed and stepped back. "Fine."

"Pleasant." Aimee muttered, "And I have no power, I just fight and kickass."

Darren smiled, "Thank you, how soon is he coming?"

"Reality warping and illusion creation mostly." Jess replied, leaving out the poison thing for now.

"Nice," Aiden said, still searching for any hint of the bad guy.

"20 seconds," Ainsley murmured, standing back another step.

Darren readied himself, preparing to take him down.

Aimee saw a man head towards a door, realizing who he was, "There he is." she said, jumping down the rest of the stairs.

Jess followed after her, landing expertly on her feet, and dashed toward the man.

Aiden followed. He swung over the railing and landed a foot behind them. The man took off for the door. He slammed it open, sprinting for the alley.

Darren saw him and focused his mind on a nearby trashcan, swinging it at the man's head and watched as he stumbled and sent a pillar of fire their way.

Jess lightly swiveled out of the way. She focused, and tried to make the man see a giant gap in the ground ahead of him, so he'd stop.

Aiden grabbed a handful of throwing stars from his belt. He hurled them at the man's back, aiming for any known arteries or nerves.

The man saw the giant gap, falling to his feet as he thought he stepped over it, the throwing stars flew just above him, only one hitting its mark. Aimee then ran forward and pinned the man on the ground, who was stunned by the illusion. She picked up her staff and jammed it into his skull, knocking him out.

"Teamwork for the win." Jess said with a victorious grin, releasing the illusion and walking over to Aimee and the unconscious man.

Ainsley blinked and clapped. "That was impressive."
Aiden whirled. "Hello there," he greeted, unzipping his hood and letting it fall around his neck. He sorted out his hair. "What're you doing here?"
She held up the drawing. "I knew it was going to happen."

"That's way cool!" Jess said, looking at the drawing.

"So that's how you knew." Darren muttered, rubbing the back of his head, "What a power."
"We totally kicked his ass!" Aimee grinned, "It was freaking fantastic!"

"You make a good team," Ainsley said quietly, blushing Jess's praise.

"We kinda did didn't we." Jess said, looking around at the others.

Darren looked thoughtful for a moment, "Perhaps we should make a habit of doing this."

Ainsley pulled out her little notebook and started drawing. Her eyes were glazed and blurry, as if she was in a trance.
"Looks like we might have another job," Aiden said, heading over to Ainsley.

"This is so cool," Aimee grinned, looking over Ainsley's shoulder.

Ainsley finished and looked down at the sketch. "Corner of 54th and 2nd," she said, reading the street sign. It was just of a bunch of people passing on the street. "I don't understand this one. Nothing obvious is going on. Hold on." She circled a man in the background. His face was the only one she didn't draw. "Him. Something about him."

"Well, it looks like we know where to go." Darren said, but then stopped, "Wait, we don't even know each other's names."
"Call me Ebon." Aimee said, pointing at herself.

"They call me Nightmare," Aiden said, looking at the drawing over Ainsley's shoulder.
"Ainsley, but my artist name is Oracle. I thought it fit," she said with a sheepish smile.
