Terror Attacks and Speed Dampeners (Fauna)

Jet engines churn throughout the London City airport. Pulling from terminal 19A, is the hero Blaze in his civilian clothing and wheelchair. The hero had been tracking the whereabouts of his arch nemesis, Captain Quick, to the city of London. As he wheeled his way throughout the airport, he noticed the peoples awkward glances to him.

Suddenly with a BANG. Shots fire throughout the airport, and men with masks appear, surrounding civilians. Blaze, with lightning appearing in his eyes, bursts from his wheelchair at an alarming 800 mph to take some of the men out, but suddenly more appear, and they look very similar to the others.

“My first day in the UK and already people want to start drama? I guess you fellas are yet to hear of the Ebon Speedster! Time for you all to feel a slight nudge from the wind!”

Blaze quickly sprints around the men and starts to shove some of them to the ground, until he is suddenly smacked down and cuffed with metahuman dampener cuffs. His powers fade, and the speedster is pinned to the ground, unable to move a muscle in his body due to his paralysis.

“Oh man, I cant take these guys out if I cant even move my arms.”

Fauna was sitting in a cafe nearby the london city airport, sipping some iced tea and taking gentle bites of a victoria sponge cake slice. Her clouded gaze noticed a black van pull up outside with various armed men and another guy in a strange outfit she had never seen before, but it looked like trouble and her suspicion was right as she heard gunshots and screams from inside the airport. She sighed, quickly finishing her iced tea before getting up and headed over to the airport.

"Bothersome, yet I cannot allow this to happen" She said in a deadpan way as the other people outside the airport ran away, her red pokadot dress and heels was replaced with her hero outfit as it formed onto her body like black ash, which consisted of a shiny black dress with white fabric under the skirt with white panties. The dress is covered with elaborate designs hand designed into the fabric. There is a gap, showing a bit of top breast with another design just above the gap. There is another decorative gap on the back of her dress, showing a almost diamond shape part of her upper back. The shoulder pads are slightly puffy like a wedding dress with sleeves flowing down to just below her elbow before opening up in a flower-like shape. She also possesses white gloves that reach her elbows with the parts covering the hands black and soft. There is also a large-ish black bow at the back of the dress. She wears thigh high, semi-see though black stockings with a thick black rim near the top and knee high black high heeled boots. Lastly, she wears a black fabric eye cover that wraps around her head.

Heading into the airport, she felt another metahuman power active inside, but when she got their, she found a African american man in a dark grey suit with what appeared to be a lightning bolt on his chest, but couldn't quite see it from this angle. She looked around at the armed thugs and the strange man who had put some kind of unusual cuffs on the man on the ground.

"Do you guys always have to do this hostage crap? I guess I have to sort this out myself as usual" She said to them before underneath her black wrapping around her eyes, they would flash red before her entire body turned into mist, forming into a mist form version of herself, her hair floating up, the skirt of her dress floating in a non-existent breeze and her body appearing to float a few feet above the ground. Without another word, she would shoot across to the nearest thug before her mist flowed into his mouth, nose and ears. The man's head would fall forwards before snapping back up, his eyes now a blood red before he raised his gun and started shooting at the costumed man holding the other one down in place, aiming to get him away from the one he was pinning to eventually help him up.

After being helped up, the speedster tipped his cap to the other metahuman, and lightening began to flow through his body once again, like blood circulating through his veins. The Ebon Speedster got into a starting stance to race around the airport for more terrorists, but his attention instantly shifted as a red streak darted across the airport.

“I’ve got the other speedster, you get these civilians to safety!” Blaze called out to the other meta before chasing down the red streak.

As Blaze allowed his legs to churn, he increased his speed to a whopping 950 mph as he and the other speedster ran neck and neck beside one another. As Blaze circled in on him, focused in on the face, but couldn't make out who it was from the wind covering his identity. As Blaze turned once again he finds himself in the direct path of four shards of ice, heading right his way. As he dodges two of the shards, the other two pierce his shoulders and force him down to the ground.

“Ice? But I thought Cryo was killed back in Chicago? How is it shes here in London, and throwing shards of ice again?

Getting the strange costumed man away from the one on the floor, she got the cuffs and pressed the release button, freeing him. The man's body seemed to surge with lightning around him. The man got up with lightning speed, telling her that he got the other speedster and to make sure the civilians were before running off in a flash after a streak of red in the far distance.

"Speedster? is that what he and that other guy is? and great, he leaves to deal with the..." He said, his voice a mix of his own and hers, but before he finished his sentence, one of the terrorists shot the guy in the back of the head, killing him. However, the now dead terrorist began to vent out black mist as the floating form of what the media had called her Banshee form remanifested in front of them. It was then the terrorist who had shot her before heard a ghostly voice inside his head.

"I hadn't finished what I was saying and now your friend is dead. You guys are so simple, so quick to fire and not enough brain cells to know anything else but petty violence" She says while he and some of the other terrorists fired their weapons into her body, yet every bullet simply phased through her, ending up hitting the roof inside.

"As I said, always so eager to fire and never questioning why, you are simply a disappointment" She said before she went to the nearest one as they emptied their bullets into her mist body and possessed that one, dropping the magazine out the assault rifle and replacing it with a new one from the man's belt. She then shot the terrorists in the kneecaps, causing them to fall to the ground before going to each one, shooting them in the shoulders and elbows, preventing them from moving their arms or legs. She then disarmed the men, kicking their weapons away before taking the terrorist's mask off that the one she was possessing had one, dropped the mag in his gun before bashing himself in the face, knocking the man out. She then did the same as what happened with the dead terrorist and vented out the man's body. She floated around towards the direction the self proclaimed speedster had gone before quickly returning to her physical form to find the nearest airport security.

"The terrorists are neutralized, but keep a eye on them in case any of their friends show up. In the meantime, I'm going after that other one" She told him with a deadpan tone before going back into her black mist form and flew out in the direction of the speedster, sensing his and some other metahuman powers in that direction. Even if the speedster was just fighting one or more metahumans, it would be better to assist him and have this done quicker then risk this battle causing even more damage then what had already had been done at the airport.

As Blaze laid there, pieces of ice jammed into his shoulders, the speedster tries to run forward, but is hit with a wave of frigid air. As Blaze falls down onto the concrete, his attention quickly focuses in on the UK metahuman who is travelling towards Blaze, who is laying flat on the concrete.

“I have a trick up my sleeve, but I need a window away from Cryo to keep this airport safe from more destruction.” Blaze mumbles to himself as lightning bolts cascade inside of Blaze's eyes.

The Ebon Speedster darts at an alarming 1,100 mph, almost reaching his maximum speed as he turns and hits Cryo in the back of the head as hard as he can, breaking the sound waves as he does so.

“That was crazy, now time for that speedster to get taken care of.”

Blaze focuses his attention on the red streak, but he has disappeared. Before he says another word, he quickly cuffs Cryo with the metahuman dampener cuffs and awaits for his fellow meta to meet him just outside of the airport.

She floats down to him to him in her banshee form and he would hear a ghostly female voice inside his head, even though her mouth remained shut.

"What is going on? who are you and these others attacking the airport? She says as she looks at him and at the woman now restrained in those strange cuffs that he was wearing. "and what do you intend on doing with her? are you a hero on visit?"
