First Day on the Job (Done)

by **psychocard** November 8th 2012, 7:18 pm

It was early in the morning, at the time where people all across L.A were just waking up. Few people were out at this hour, save for the rare jogger or worker, just returning from a late shift at the office. Which was the exact opposite of what he needed! How was he going to make a good (Or is it bad?) first impression, if there was nobody to watch? Mickey Lee, AKA 'Songbird', leaned back into the wooden chair with an irritated sigh. it was just his luck after a year of learning to control his new-found powers, he had to wait till everybody got their lazy bums out of bed!

"Another coffee, sir?" the pimply-faced waiter asked him, casting a strange glance at his costume. He hadn't bothered to put on regular clothes over his costume when he had gotten up this morning, a major error on his part. Oh well, it wasn't like the waiter would live to tell about him.

Grinning wickedly, he let his impatience get the better of him. "No, I need to be on my way and get to work."

"Well then, have-" the boys face was torn in half before he could finish talking, his body falling on the linoleum tiles in a bloody heap. Songbird smiled wickedly as the patrons of the cafe screamed.

"Oh, how good it is to be evil!"

A few sonic blasts later, Mickey exited the now corpse-filled cafe, having needed to silence them before they called in the police. For he knew that if the police came, superheroes would soon follow. Though he was quite confident in his abilities, he didn't want to risk facing off against someone out of his power level. It wouldn't do for him to be incarcerated before he achieved his one goal in life. Yawning loudly, he continued down the street, looking for a way to burn time, as all the killing back at the cafe had felt like it happened at the speed of sound. Which it technically had, considering the nature of his powers. He laughed. he was hilarious!

After 10 minutes of wandering around, Mickey was becoming more and more irritated. If he didn't find someway to relieve his boredom soon, he'd just up and destroy something. Just as he thought that, he soon found himself surrounded by police.

"Freeze! Put your hands up! Don't make this harder than this has to be." Songbird smirked.

"Silly police. You're like ants trying to stop a tornado in the face of a superhuman." and with that he let rip a screech, which his 'field' accelerated to an unbelievable speed. Several men were thrown back by the resulting force. Songbird hadn't planned on confronting the police, but now that they were here, he might as well take the opportunity to relieve his irritation. As the police reached for their guns, Songbird grinned and rushed forward.

"You'll soon realize ti was a mistake to fight me!" he released another screech, this one tearing a man in half. He grinned at the now scared men. "Now who wants to try and stop me?" he taunted.

Peter had just scrapped up enough of these tiny circle coins he buy a burger at one of the buildings with a huge M arch on it. He was glad the people there liked this game of scavenger hunt enough to trade food for them. He left with his prize of a cheeseburger. He walked aimlessly down the street when he heard the whaling of sirens. He had heard this sound all to often.

He concealed himself in some thick bushes before he summoned his costume as his instincts dictated that he do. Now clad in green with a golden leaf on his torso he ran towards the sounds arriving just in time to see several officers get blown off their feet through his blue visor.
"What are you doing!?" He called stopped just before the officers who were running to take cover between their car doors. He looked to the remains of the first officer and knew this guy not a joke. And he had done this without a weapon? This guy wasn't normal.

by **psychocard** November 12th 2012, 5:41 pm

As blood splashed over his costume, adding color to the grey and black, Mickey began to wonder how he had become a man who could kill without thought. What if things had gone differently? Maybe he could still go back, turn himself in and start over. That thought was pushed down before he could dwell on it. It was the world's fault that he had become Songbird, he reminded himself. It was too late to give up now. He frowned as a boy, looking like he was just entering his teens and clad in green, dashed onto the scene. Geez, it had barely been, what, 5 or 6 minutes since the cops had shown up and they were already sending in the Heroes?

"And who would you be? Plant Kid, the Growing Wonder?" he jeered, hoping to get a reaction. Songbird didn't expect the kid to be much of a challenge, and decided to play around with him before dealing the final blow. "What do you do? Talk to pansies? "

by **BrightChaos** November 13th 2012, 5:17 am

"What? I'm Miracle Boy! The greatest hero ever!" He declared loudly. This guy, unphased by the blood he now wore, mocked him. What could have caused someone to give him on himself so easily? He had to take this guy down quick. If this guy left here he would leave a path of death behind him.
"No." He said sternly, He answered by throwing his hands before himself to finish his answer with an energy blast from both hands. If this guy was as off guard as he seemed this just might do it.

“That's my power!” He said proudly taking a fighting stance. Part of him suspected this guy may not be weak. He already had seen his wind, or was it sound, power.

“They must call you loud mouth.” He said taking a guess at his villain name.

by **psychocard** November 13th 2012, 6:04 pm

Songbird dove to one side, avoiding the poorly planned move. His actions were obvious and easily read, and he left himself open for attack. Still, he was able to see the power in those blasts. He would have to be more careful. He started circling around, not letting Miracle Boy, or whatever he said his name was, get a clear shot at him.

"Good guess, but actually, my name's Songbird. You wouldn't have heard of me," he replied, struggling to hide his irritation at the boys arrogance. He could see it in the way he walked and talked. This boy thought nothing could stop him, that he was untouchable. Songbird laughed mentally. Well, he supposed they were alike in that way. No matter, he could use that to his advantage. "Aren't you a bit young to be fighting crime? Why don't you go home to your mommy and let her read you bedtime stories?" Before Miracle Boy had a chance to attack, he rushed forward covering the short distance between them, and threw a punch to the boys' stomach. Mickey didn't show mercy to anyone. Not even if he was fighting a child.

by **BrightChaos** November 13th 2012, 7:59 pm

Now in fighting stance he saw Songbird avoided the attack. This guy ran in a pattern that made it pointless to shoot at him so he followed him with his eyes instead. Then he started asking strange questions about being to young young to fight and another question he didn't understand.
"My what?" Miracle Boy questioned below his breath. But then the guy started his real attack. The question must have just been made up gibberish to distract him. Miracle Boy jumped backwards onto the hood of the police car to put himself on eye level with his opponent then jumped forward to meet the young man's blow with one of his own. The boy gritted his teeth feeling the pain of the impact on his gut. This guy must be good to hit him in midair. He put all his strength into his left arm to bash at Songbird with his shield intending to strike him in the face.

by **The Womb** November 14th 2012, 8:16 am

The Womb had been scaring children in a park nearby. After his brief encounter near the beach he had become pensive and had found himself somewhere to sit. He had watched the younger ones playing and as he did so found he had yet again found himself with unwarranted attention. They had approached him with their heads hooded. The Womb had stood to meet them, detecting their malicious intent. As they drew nearer however they became distressed and anxious, his ghastly appearance when looked on with closer inspection, was genuine. Fear led them to violence and two produced a basic projectile weapon.

The stones they fired from their weapons pierced The Wombs skin, and the pain roused him.

"You have used violence against me. Why would you attack me? I have done no harm unto you." As he spoke the bullet wounds began healing. The youths began to run screaming obscenity's in an effort to intimidate him.

The Womb felt wronged by the incident, irritated at his child's behavior. It had been hundreds of years since he had interacted with a Human. What had happened to them? he wondered..

He had left the park and walked the streets. There were fast moving vehicles on the roads. The buildings were tall. Like the stories of Babylon. Perhaps it was Babylon? It's vision truly realized? As he pondered he rounded a corner to witness an astounding commotion. Many men lay on the floor, uniformed. Possibly the soldiers of this time. They too had the stone firing weapons.

Two figures had begun engaging each other in combat in the distance. He approached further seeing each one was dressed up in elaborate costume. The smaller warrior in green was superior in speed by far and had dodged this aggressors advances at first, then in a flash took a sharp blow as sacrifice to try to land an even more formidable attack. They are not human... are they..Like me? Their speed is beyond human capabilities, possibly akin to my own. As is their strength. Have humans finally begun to evolve? Have I reached the point in time where the process of natural selection is just beginning? What a chance time for me to make observations! There are so many questions I must ask them!

by **psychocard** November 14th 2012, 6:09 pm

Songbird grinned wickedly as he felt his fist connect with Miracle Boys' body. His grin soon faded, however, as the boys shield connected with his face. Letting instincts take over, he rolled backward with the hit, flipping once and landing on his feet. He wiped away the blood streaming from his nose with his sleeve.

"I have to admit you do land a good hit, but can you dodge what you can't see?" he said. He screeched and started moving about again, trying to hit the Hero from different angles. Mickey was promptly distracted by movement from the corner of his vision. After a closer look, he realized he was looking at a man with no flesh on his skull. Their fight couldn't have attracted that much attention, could it? If it was another hero, then he might be forced to retreat. For now, though, the strange skull man was simply observing, so Songbird simply dismissed the matter and decided he would deal with the stranger once he was done with the battle at hand. He turned back to Miracle Boy. "Ready to give up yet?"

~*Essmerelda~

Who the fuck were these people to kick her out of a restaurant just because she was having a 'friendly' discussion about gay people? Well, it was just another average day for the albino Amazon. Her milky-white blonde ringlet curls were currently pulled back, revealing her exotic and elfin like face. Her eyes stood out like a black dog in the snow--Piercing blue upon a slate of hardened marble.

At 6'7, there were no denying this woman was already quite intimidating. To top it off, she had the body of a body-builder and an accent that tore kids to tears. Brooklyn, New York was home; Police sirens and stupid broads screaming in pain were her favorite lullaby. She was odd. She was different. She knew it all too well; She despised her fellow 'heroes' and even 'villains' that were female. So pretty, so fair, all with their hunky male friends. Essmerelda, or commonly known as the Silver Hellfire, or if you were really friendly with her--Essa-- was an orphan all her life. Like, who the hell would want a crazy, lanky, weird-looking albino demon baby that could spew blue fire from her hands? Yup--Abso-fucking-lutely no one. But instead of growing up bitter and letting all of the pain, bullying, and her differences get the best of her, she trained and became the best damn crazy ass pyrokinetic albino street fighting Amazon she could be. Essa was aware of her mistakes in the past; but she knew there were things that no one could take from her and that was her dignity and pride to never let things end the way she didn't want it to.

But then again, a little weed here and there never hurt anyone. After going to confession at church, Essa tried her best to simply get a coffee and go home. But then, she got in a fight with the cashier, attracted unwanted attention from everyone and was now pissed off and depressed. She needed to smoke. Inhaling all the good shit and exhaling all the bullshit, the albino giant leaned against a tree and listened to the cool breeze as it whistled through her long hair. But, the sounds of battle pierced the silence and she scowled--The sounds of a battle were such familiar ones that she couldn't help but notice. It fucking sucked. The Silver Hellfiire knew that if she DIDN'T check it out, she'd regret it later. But she also knew that if she showed up, her temper and her will to screw thing up would probably make matters worse. But whatever, she already had her short attention span ticking away at the fight. Sticking her hands in her sweater pockets after fastening her leather gloves on, she turned to head towards the sounds of the battle.

What she saw was a bit amusing in her eyes. So, a short white kid, an Asian guy, and a skeleton walked into a bar--Snickering obnoxiously at her own joke, Essa just shook her head and took our a cigarette. Easily stepping between the fight and feeling a bit of the aftermath of Miracle Boy's blow, she yawned. Standing at 6'7 and being nothing but a solid mass of muscle, Essmerelda was certainly not a dainty little lady--She was far from easy to move or phase.

"Come on, kiddies . . . Like what the fuck is the problem? I've seen motherfuckin' swans more intimidating then you." The Amazon grunted towards Miracle Boy. "And you! Hells yeah, you use your MOUTH for powers? But still, c'mon, you could do better than pickin' up victims like this chump. He's obviously new to the game." Glancing around through her piercing, fiery-blue eyes, Essa crossed both toned arms over her chest. "And you! Tony Bony, hey man, you can be my best friend any day. Any of you fuckers got a lighter?" Giving each of the three a glance over, she cocked a barely visible eyebrow and then shrugged. Simply lighting the cigarrete with her blue fire, she took in a deep breath and exhaled the smoke onto Miracle Boy. "Any of you want a blunt? I'm feelin' gracious today, so don't be afraid to ask."

by **BrightChaos** November 14th 2012, 10:34 pm

Miracle Boy heard the man start screeching and know full well what was coming next after seeing what happened to the officers. He'd have to move fast with no way of knowing then they would be launched. But just when he was about to start he heard someone talking loudly as she just walked into the battle. He could tell something seemed off with her mentally. Did she have super-powers or was she blind to what was happening here?

She used some words he didn't understand but he got the gist that she was saying he wasn't very intimidating. But who would want that?
“Watch out!” He called and jumped in-front of her to but himself in the path of the sound blasts. He was able to catch the first with his shield hearing a clink as it his and feeling for force against his arm as it ricocheted. He heard a shattering sound and felt tiny pieces of glass land on his back. Must have hit a windshield on one of the police cars.

Before he could respond he felt the best sound blast dig into his side and he felt the warm blood leak from it then another jolt of pain came from his leg and he feel to his knees. Running was no longer an option.
“Take cover behind the cars.” He instructed to the woman while charging an energy blast in his hand. He held out his hand to fake an attack against Songbird only to slam it into the ground at the last second propelling himself into the air. He broke gravity's grip on himself and flew in an erratic pattern like an airfighter to make himself evasive target. It was then he took notice of a skeletal faced man just standing there. Why wasn't he doing anything?

Once he had the sun behind him to make it hard to look at him he began to dive while drawing his golden dagger from it's hidden sheath on the backside of his shield. Once in an arms reach of his opponent he slashed at his torso.

by **The Womb** November 15th 2012, 8:56 am

To The Womb the scenario he was observing had just taken a turn for the strange. A tall masculine woman had approached the two combatants, asking them for assistance in smoking her sweet smelling tobacco. However she did not need it, she instantly set the smoke to light using a blue flame she produced from her finger. Incredible, I have never seen a human perform such a spectacular feat. I wonder to what extent her power reaches.

Before being able to think further the smaller warrior leapt in front of the female to save her from incoming sonic attacks. How gallant. An honorable being indeed. It seems this woman did not understand the true danger she was in, walking blindly into a battleground. And this young one, saved her. How wonderful! So....it seems this other creature, this.. sonic user. He must have been the one out set to murder! What a despicable waste of Humanity. I shall destroy him.

Before he could react the small green warrior launched himself into the air, emitting a bright and powerful light. He then began to swerve in the air as he fell. No, he flew! He planned a skillful attack. Womb had noticed this warriors injury as he had defended the tall woman. To see him fight on through his handicap filled Womb with a sense of urgency and pride in his child. Life has dealt you a cruel blow, yet you have not succumbed to it's cruel will. You fight on, and admirable trait young warrior. I will see to it this day you walk away victorious.

Faster than the trained eye could follow Womb bore down on the Warrior in black. As The green warrior shot forwards gripping his dagger The Womb attempted to restrain the warrior in black from behind. If successful this battle would end now. If not, the Womb had committed himself to this battle now, he would not walk away from it. He would see this black clad warrior slain for his crimes.

((Posting Order: Psychocard, BrightChaos, The Womb, ScarletteGoddess))

Songbird watched amusingly as Miracle Boy leapt in front of the albino Amazon that had suddenly strolled onto the scene, after she offered them all a smoke. The hero had crashed into a police car and been rendered unable to walk as a result of his foolish actions. While protecting the woman, he had made things much easier for Songbird. Suddenly, the boy raised an arm to attack him, and he instinctively reacted by jumping to one side. But, Miracle Boy instead launched himself into the air, something Mickey was not prepared for and left him an easy target. He was even more startled when the skeleton man rushed forward and tried to hold him in order to let Miracle Boy finish him off. He tried his best to escape, but the strange being was stronger than he looked. He managed to get one arm loose, but by now the boy was almost to them. In that moment, it dawned on him that he could die right then and there, if Miracle Boy was truly as reckless as he had proved to be.

"YOU FUCKERS WON"T KILL ME IF I HAVE A SAY IN IT!" he shouted, letting his words become weapons. Songbird swung his head back and collided with the Skeleton man in an attempt to escape, ignoring the ringing in his ears as a result.

by **BrightChaos** November 16th 2012, 3:39 am

Miracle Boy stopped his dive when he saw Songbird unleashed a panicked attack after the skull-faced man grabbed him. But it didn't look like it was last long as Songbird already had one arm free. The boy changed his plan and instead flew to hover by Songbird's side and grabbed at his free arm to help hold him while holding his blade up to his side.
"Don't move." He ordered as firmly as he could though his exhaustion showed through it.
"Someone gag him." He quested hoping that the skeleton man or the tall woman would be able to. He wasn't sure if they could hold this guy for long. Since this guys' powers came from his voice gagging him would stop him right?

by **The Womb** November 16th 2012, 6:18 am

The Womb struggled with the boy. He continued to writhe as Womb held him but The Wombs superior strength won out. The warrior in blacks counter was to blast at his diving opponent and throw his head back in an attempt to butt Womb. The Womb did not move, choosing instead to take the blow. The young ones strength would be formidable to most however the Womb did not flinch as the blow struck. The warriors power was not sufficient to do any significant damage.

He did however use the distraction to loose one arm form The Womb's clutches. As this happened the green warrior approached and held back the arm of the struggling villain. He requested for somebody to "Gag" the villain in an effort to barricade the warriors mouth. A sound plan. He looked for the masculine female and called over to her.

"Woman, help up restrain this vile beast"

by **ScarletteGoddess** November 16th 2012, 8:58 pm

[center]Essmerelda being a skilled street fighter and martial artist, she knew perfectly well how to respond to the situation. First off, however, a kid tried protecting her, then got shot down, and now the skeleton-guy person, thing-y . . . was talking to her and referring to her as, 'woman'. Cocking a milky white eyebrow and taking a long drag and blowing out the smoke as if the world could wait a few more minutes for her to finish, she slowly strolled over and fiddled around her belt and scowled. Keeping the cigarette between her teeth, she glanced down only to see that she didn't have her costume or belt on. "Well, fuck."

The Amazon then started mumbling to herself and completely disregarded the fact that she was supposed to be promptly moving to accomplish something important. Feeling around the pockets of her pants, she finally grinned as she found something. "Ahah---AWWW FUCK. You know what? I can't do this shit." Stretching out the used piece of latex she had in her hands, she shook it out with a scowl.

As she approached the three guys, she squirmed around the struggling villain and let out a, 'HEY WATCH IT, MOTEHRFUCKER,' as his writhing arm knocked her off balance. And with all of her long limbs and wearing stiletto heels, it was easier to lose balance. But still, on shaky feet, she leaned down slowly to tie the piece of blue latex around Songbird's mouth and then secure it behind his head. "Alright, I've done my part, peace out, bitches." She grumbled, taking out a rather random chocolate bar--Almond to be exact--and began eating it as she watched to see what would happen. Though, she was fully ready to step in if she needed to . . . Even though she too was a 'villain', but she chose to leave that out of the proportion.
