"Nah. Even with all my good looks and muscles, it ain't exactly easy to find someone when you spend a lot of time dishing out street justice, and I'll admit that kinda sucks. Sure, I'm always happy to fight crime, but coming back to this big empty warehouse every day gets lonely."

Richard gave Vazquez a sympathetic smile, "I know how you feel. My apartment may not be a empty as here but I still get lonely," Richard said as he tool a sip of his beer, "if someone had told me that being a hero would mean never getting any 'action' I never would've signed up," He chuckled at his attempt to lighten the mood.

Richard smiled, "Yeah I guess you're right Vazquez," Richard took another sip of his beer. "You know Vazquez, seeing the old gang and beating up those thugs with you really makes me miss the old team days. Sure they were a bit soft on crooks. But being part of that team made me feel like I belonged. Ya know?"

"Too bad we fell apart. Ana's a criminal now, and apparently I'm the bad guy for having a problem with it, although I guess I was a bit harsh. Nightlight's a self-righteous dick now, but Helios is still alright. But hey, we were the freak show, remember? And it looks like the freak show is back together."

Just as he wandered away Nightlight felt and heard an explosion as the main room erupted right on the elevator Ana was standing on as debrees flew everywhere, smoke rising and covering the whole room.

 

_______________________________________________________

 

Nemesis waited outside the tube, as he heard the explosion and smiled underneath his set of armor. He was a mysterious person of mysterious intents that he didn't fully understand himself but knew made sense from his calculated point of view. Wearing a set of almost full dark robotic armor and an exosuit much like Nightlight. Pressing a button on his suit he smiled further as he left the base, everything being in position.

 

_______________________________________________________

Still finding it hard to breathe and see Nightlight screamed out at the base, but he didn't delay himself from quickly grabbing his helmet that fell off to the floor and putting it on, glad he could finally breathe normally. Still feeling the threat wasn't over he quickly pulled out his blade, activating it as it stuck out in the dust to signal where he is to possibly any other survivors. "MARI, ANA?! EVERYONE OKAY?!" He shouted through his helmet. Walking and looking around where the explosion was, and found the body of Ana, and quickly kneeling down checked her pulse and saw that despite looking very bad she still had a chance. "MARI?!" He shouted for his other partner. 

 

________________________________________________________

In the meantime Nemesis calmly wandered out of the pipe and looked at the great view of the city he had from this position, activating several more buttons while smoke came out behind him that tried and escape the last explosion... and then with the press of several buttons he saw as the biggest building in the city... The Tower of the Young Gods started exploding on all floors... the most protected place in the city that was also right in the heart of it. Soon enough it begun collapsing as almost each of the 200 floors were rigged, showing even less of a chance of a survivors as it simply collapsed down beneath it not harming any other buildings in the area.

Flying high above, absorbing what sunlight he could (off the moon if it's still night), the force of the blasts sent the chariot banking hard. Helios adjusted and brought the apparatus around to see the carnage being wrought. Horrified, he turned on his communications to an old channel. "I hope this line still works. Nightlight, it's Helios, do you copy?"

Richard thought about what Vazquez and smile, "Yeah, you're right. The freak show is back together isn't it," said Richard as he finished his beer, "just you and me against the world. Or at least the world of criminal scum." Richard gave a slight chuckle. He looked over at Vazquez, "we should do this again sometime."

In the distance, Vazquez heard several faint sounds which he could have sworn were explosions. Out of curiosity, he grabbed a remote from the table in front of them and turned on the tv to the news. The newscaster was almost in tears, reporting on how the Tower of the Young Gods had been completely demolished in a terrorist attack.

 

"Fuck me," said Vazquez at nearly a whisper.

Personally she don't think killing is that much of a big fuss. It just ends another criminal. Marielle looked at Ana. She don't think her former teammate should be cast away just because she took a life. And maybe she did it out of self-defense.

'Someone have to say something' she thought with a sigh.  "So, what are-"

An explosion erupt nearby as she felt herself being thrown back, knocking her out.

Turning on heat vision Nightlight saw everything in the room more clearly, and saw that Marielle was simply unconscious from the explosion. Then he recieved a connection and due to being worried on how to get Ana to a hospital of any sorts or to any possible safe spot to meet a trusted doctor there he hardly had the head for anything. But with a flick of his wrist he opened up the message, revealing simply a blank hologram. "Helios! Someone mined up the elevator at our old main base... Ana is down and heavily wounded and Marielle is unconscious... but seeing as you're calling I imagine something else popped up. "

In he meantime the city square was in complete chaos as police blocked off the entrance and all sorts of first response teams were sent to the enormous rubble... The death toll was catastrophic beyond comparison as only a very very lucky few seemed to have so far barely survived...

"More like blew up, the tower was bombed. I'm on my way to the base now to help, I can patch up our friends, just get them to the med bay, assuming it's still there." Helios banked and dove the chariot, flying toward the old base. The security recognized him as he launched from his capsule to let him in, not that it mattered with a huge gaping hold in it. Debris and sparking electronics were littered throughout. Lighting up, he was able to make his way through despite the power being knocked out. "Nightlight, where are you guys?"

Richard looked at the tv with a shocked wide eyed expression. "Holy crap," he said in disbelief. He stunned for a moment, unable to speak. But then reality came back to him. He turned to Vazquez, "we've got to get the hell over there and help," he said quickly. He ran to the door and held out his hand for Vazquez, "grab my hand, it'll be quicker if i fly us there."

ANyway, we need to take her to a hospital, we cannot be sure if whoever is responsible for this is no longer around..." NIghtlight still having heat vision spotted Helios easily through all the dust and rubble. "Did you mention The Tower?"

Vazquez did as Richard said and took his hand. "C'mon, get your ass in gear!"

 

It was then that Vazquez realized that Nightlight, Helios, Ana, and maybe even Mari would be on the scene too. They would just have to put aside their squabbles for now and deal with the situation at hand.

Helios found the two and briefly scanned Anastajia. The devices on his gauntlets adjusted, excreting a kind if spray on gel substance to her injured areas. "That should keep her stable in the mean time. I have a private med center we can take her too, much safer." As gently as he could, he lifted Anastajia up into a fireman's carry. "Come on, we can take the chariot."

"I understand, transmitting the location of the sealed off med center at Apollo solutions and the code to get in. Don't worry it's completely cut off from the regular staff." The chariot hovered above them, Ana still slung over Helios' back. He took to the air and hovered just outside the broken base. "Stay safe Nightlight, after I attend to her wounds don't be afraid to call me back. We don't know who we are dealing with yet." With that, Helios boarded the chariot and rocketed away with the unconscious sniper.

Richard gripped Vazquez tightly and flew off at hiGH speed towards the Tower of the Young Gods.

 

When he arived he was devastated to see the destruction around him. He scanned the area and saw the people that needed help. He flew down to him and let go of Vazquez, "Let's get to work." he said as he ran to help some civilians.

Rather than waiting for a response from Nightlight, Vazquez got straight to helping out. He put his extreme strength and durability to use by clearing debris and pulling out survivors, which was quite the favor to the various first responders.

Madeline did not like being woken up from her naps. It didn't happen often as she usually took to sinking deep underground to rest in the muffled embrace of the earth, but when it did happen it made her quite cranky. The explosion that had rumbled the ground she was resting in had managed to do this very thing. She stared up at the blackness to the city above her and growled as one does when they wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

 

She didn't know what year it was; Madeline had lost track of the dates after the turn of the last century. It was a fascinating time to be sure. In a world once populated by horse drawn carriages for travel and candles for lighting now had sprawling cities and inventions for any and all inconvenience imaginable. She almost felt like she had been born in the wrong era seeing the revolution of industry going the way it did. 

 

However as impressive as their inventions were, these people still found ways to make themselves even more aggressive and dangerous. This explosion that had awoken her had more than proven that. 

 

She willed herself upward, through the concrete and pipes and sewers until she had pushed her head through to the surface. There was a massive pile of rubble where what she assumed to be a building once stood and strange individuals she couldn't make heads or tails of. 

 

Her grogginess had left her quite agitated, causing the air around her to respond to her presence as she drifted out of the ground and into the air with her head hung low. Before she was hovering a few stories up the wind had already shifted into a gale-force storm spiraling around her. Several vehicles down the street spontaneously exploded from having their gas ignited, and they all flopped to their sides and onto their backs while her bleary spectral eyes tried to come into focus. 

 

"Who woke me up?" She demanded in their direction, her translucent body taking on a decidedly reddish glow to it as she grew more and more agitated.

Vazquez felt a chill run down his spine, which quickly escalated into a massive wind. Several cars exploded spontaneously, and there seemed to be an angry presence, which could only mean one thing.

Madeline blinked down at the figure below her calling her name. The spirit recognized him a little bit. It was taking some effort but she was slowly recalling that they used to work together on a team of some kind. Her aura shifted from red to blue as the wind began to die down and her features took on a softer more human like appearance.

 

"Oh hey Vaz... what happened here anyway? I was just taking a little dirt nap and then I heard this explosion. It made me cranky."

 

 She was calmed down for now, but her grogginess still had her on edge.

"I dunno. I was with Richard when we both heard the explosion from across town, so we came out to help. I heard it was some kind of terrorist attack or something. It's actually kinda weird. I expected everyone from the old team to show up to help, but so far it's just been me and Richard."

Madeline drifted through Vazquez's body as she floated over to the wreckage. Shaken civilians were coming out of their buildings and staring up at her spectral form as she hovered over the street. 

 

One man was pinned under a large chunk of concrete from the fallen building, but he was still conscious and trying to get himself out of there. Madeline drifted over towards the man and lightly tapped the piece of rubble before casually flicking the massive chunk off of the individual. While she couldn't extend her raw psychic power outside of her form, the second she touched something with it she was able to exert a ton of force on it. The hunk of rubble spiraled in the air for a few seconds before rebounding off of the main area of destruction and rolled down into a nook harmlessly. 

 

The man groaned as he was floated up into her ghostly grasp.

 

"I'll take this one to the hospital, he doesn't look so good." The man writhed and groaned in pain even as she floated off at full over the buildings to try and remember where they placed hospitals in this city.
