Will you be my valin... No(Red Tide, The Perfect sandwich)

Why are you carrying a rose? The question from the old demon was simple and easy yet he knew his host would not make it simple for an answer or maybe he would. The damn human was unpredictable when he wanted to be.

"Simple friend, people deserve a valentine's, even the bad guys." Marcus said in his normal demon voice because of a simple mask. Marcus himself was on the corner of a  building's rooftop, one of his favourite places to be was on the roof of any building. But his most liked part was just watching below. Even with the heros that stuck around Chicago like himself and others there was still plenty of crime and on such a nice day as today there was still crime. Some people are just never going to give it up are they? A tendril wrapped itself around Marcus and separated half to two legs that carried him down the wall of the building he was on. Below him were three odd green looking men that had been carrying a bag around for the past few hours. Marcus got hints about what was in it, something about advanced tech and how people will want this but that was all he knew. "I think it's almost time." Marcus was referring too the deal that was going to take place right below him, which of course was another thing he heard but the buyer was unknown as of now.

Indeed human. Indeed.

Yet again Lucius found himself in Chicago. He didn't care much for the city, it was rather grim looking. Not to mention the overwhelming meta human population that scurried through the streets fighting in some kind of civil war, why couldn't 'villains' and 'heroes' just unite to take on the greater threat? It seemed they didn't see it that way, but they would eventually, eventually they would wake up.

It seemed to be valentines day, Lucius wouldn't have known if it wasn't for all the decorations lining the streets. He had put holidays behind him long ago, caring for such petty things was below him. Yet he couldn't help but feel a little lonely, damn, stupid emotions. It was true he never really loved anyone romantically, he always cared more for science then for people. He thought for a second about getting someone to fill that hole, someone to love. But he wasn't here to get a date, no, he had a more pressing matter to attend to.

He called up a few people of the questionable variety here in Chicago, they had stolen some very valuable things from a genetics lab a few months earlier and were willing to sell. Of course, even though Lucius could pay for it buying things wasn't exactly his style. He intended to steal the product, and kill it's holders.

He approached the meeting place in full supervillain garb to find three men in all green clothing, must be some kind of gang. "I'm here for the product, i trust you brought it?" he said looking at the men through red optics.

A blank stare was worn with scuffed up clothes and a mangled dead body to hold it all. He walked around as if he was not all there and he did not say much. Days would pass and everyday was a waste. Nothing got Coronel closer to retaining his body again and his ability that kept him alive now had full control with no bend or break in restraining Coronel deep into his own subconscious. It was kinda miss done what his own ability done to him, but he figured it was going to happen do to everything and all the pain he went through to keep it suppressed.

Now his ability was stronger, but skipping the extras... It was Valentines day. Since everyone would be fixed to each other and not him he was not in a state of awareness. He did however keep his ability to film the place so he could tell where everyone was. Everything seemed pink with the streets decorated and balloons flying and a near by parade had his fix. With it being Valentines day people were well attracted to the fair and to bring the one they loved with them. Music, food, rides and games were something new Coronel could not enjoy.

Laying another film he noticed a weird movement with 5 people. When he got closer he seen one guy with a rose. Another walking up to a group of people that had full green. It was not St. Patrick's day but oh well wear what you want. Darting into an alley it did not take more than a second for him to be sky bound and over the people's heads. Now he could be right on top without them knowing. He listened and watched as he would try and piece what they would say together.

The three green men looked towards their buyer with the lead one gesturing to the others and they disappeared inside a building. "I'm sure you brought your share." The green mans voice was raspy and inhuman. The other two reappeared with a rather large bag which they dropped behind they lead Green. A rather long lizard like tongue appeared from the Green mans mouth before returning almost as fast. "Money."

Marcus had stopped when the buyer arrived, and had to stifle a laugh, something about that voice, something about that mask told Marcus he was in for one hell of a day. Human you seem happy, almost too happy. Who is that?

Just a old friend.

It seems Lucius' eyes tricked him, now that he got close to the creatures he realized they weren't just dressed in green.....these were some kind of lizard people. Seriously? egh, why do they always have to be more then just human? "You'll get your paper as soon as the bag is in my hands, hand it over." He said to the creatures. His plan seemed to be going fine, assuming lizard face would let him have a look at the product first. But there was always good old fashioned brute force.

"Scanners indicate two unwelcome lifeforms in the area, one seems to have no heat signature........its as if its dead" The AI reported. Well, it seems these lizard guys were lazy when it came to finding a secure meeting place. "We have company."

Coronel hovered around waiting for the couple of people to come out but also watching the guy who was watching the meeting. If this meeting would take forever he would go kill something then head back because he didn't want to miss the fun. Ever since he did his scan the film went on the green people exposing they were big lizards. he just could not tell if they had come from some unnatural disaster or from space.

Coronel rapidly place his hand on his head like he had a brain freeze or a head ache. It was his inner self fighting back but the ability he used so much was keeping its strong grip. He landed on a near by roof top but went to close to the edge and fell off into an alley out of sight of the people near the meeting. He got up after crushing a dumpster and there was people curious of the sound. 3 people crowded around him going on about how he fell then switching their mood about him being in their turf.

If anything this and everything else was considered Coronel's. He rose up and with a small thought his ability expanded from the vessel tearing the people to shreds in seconds. It was over quickly without a sound and he now had painted an entire alley with blood. Rubbing his head he flew back up over the building. He stopped on the roof top and kept his watch waiting to attack.

The Green man eyed the masked man but just shook his head. "Fine. Get out a piece." As soon as he said this the two other greenies open the bag and pulled out a strange piece of technology, nothing human based by the looks of it. One of the greenies passed it to the Green man and in turn the Green man chucked it to their Buyer. "Ïs it to your liking?" The creature asked but those would turn out to be it's final words as if one noticed a shadow like tendril would now be shown though the Green man's Chest.

"I like Lizards but they took it a little too far if you ask me." Marcus's demonic voice came out wide and clear as he descended next to the bag of technology and turned to face Red. "Been a while hasn't it." Marcus said to him as he lightly kicked one of the Lizard men to see if it would react.

The lizard men only partially complied, which was rather annoying. Still, he could now confirm that what was in the bag is what he was looking for. It was a genetics splicer, a basic one but still useful if he modified it. Of course this was only a piece of the gadget, the rest was in the bag. "Indeed it i.... Lucius said before pausing at the sight of a rather familiar shadow construct through the creatures chest. He knew who it was before he even came into sight, the power belonged to some kid who calls himself Shadow.

"It has indeed, Shadow. I guess your still running around Chicago like a lost dog. What's your business here?" Lucius responded without even an acknowledgement to the fact Marcus just killed the creature in front of him. He never really liked this kid, he had some kind of hero pride yet still murdered without a wince. Not that it bothered Lucius, on the contrary, yet it was annoying that even with his law breaking he still acted holier then thou. "There's also someone else here, and the fact it has no heat signature makes me think its a meta human, so lets finish this up shall we?" Lucius said before walking over to the bag and slinging it over his shoulder.

Well now it was high in the priority to finish their job for them. They missed a greeny and he was not going to let him escape. He grabbed the lizard man with his ability and pulled on his torso until is separated from his bottom. He unclinched him and the top of the lizards body fell to the floor bleeding out. Coronel smiled and jumped down. Walking over to the shop he made his presence known by ripping things out of the streets and trowing them in to buildings. Cars, trashcans, and light poles. It was a big storm of everything unholy.

He was not going to walking in just yet or probably not at all. He might wait for them out side so they would not be cramped. Although he would only wait so long before he ripped the building up from its roots and flung it around.

Marcus could only look on as Red started to walk away, true Marcus had no love for the man but boredom went flying out the window whenever he was around. Marcus decided to lift up one of the lesser greenys to get a better look at the creatures only to another piece of that tech. Must have been keeping it for himself. Marcus thought as he picked it up and turned to Red. "Hey Red missing something. Marcus called out for him. Marcus would chuck it towards him when he turned but something caught the corner of his eye, a surviving Greeny which made Marcus slightly sigh but before anything could be done... the greeny had died by being ripped in half.

Well something I like.

Marcus rolled his eyes before focusing on their surroundings. "So a walking corpse meta? This might be fun." Marcus finished with thoughts on what Red would do. Run or fight? Would he even be able to run, this meta could easily rip that car of beauty into small pieces if he tried.

As Lucius walked away shadow spoke once again, much to his annoyance. Lucius spun on his heel to recover the missing tech, which he was surprised was flying through the air. He caught it and threw it in the bag with the rest of it.

He was about to leave when something peaked his interest, a lizard guy had survived shadows assault but was ripped apart as soon as he came into view. Well that was interesting, seems whatever was being picked up by his scanners had telekinesis.

"If you think fighting a telekinetic is fun, sure." Lucius said casually before setting his bag down and charging up energy within his core, getting ready for a fight.

As Coronel looked to where they were standing it was easy to form a plan even if you were a sack of potatoes. He looked around at the lizards and at cars and possible people near by but started to think of bigger sources to use. Looking up they must have been standing by a couple 5 story to 3 story buildings. To him it was easy lifting an didn't require much strain to hurry and put it over head. With a smirk the building to lizard men were in started rambling around. Soon it would feel as if the entire surrounding area was shaking. He placed out one hand facing the building since this technique seemed to give more accurate control. As the building was plucked from the ground and debris still falling from the bottom and out the windows it was made steady hanging about 20 feet off the ground.

It took more than he had realized do to the fact he didn't take everything inside the building into weight thought. He sighed as he pulled the building over them taking no less than a few seconds to perform all these task. Looking back at them he would relinquish control and let the building fall. He was tired of holding it so why not give them a try. Dropping his hand the building also started to fall and it didn't take long to reach high speeds do to its immense weight. Die for me. Coronel laughed at them waiting to see what they would try to do against him.

(OOC. Sandwich we are not in the building. Only time I said in a building was when one of the Green men went inside to grab the tech, aside from that I made it clear we are outside from my first post and do not see anything about me or Red entering a building.)

(((OOC Then how come you said and Red also said you were standing right next to them talking. You were talking to Red and him to the lizards.)))

(((((((((((((Example 1: From Shadowolf- The three green men looked towards their buyer with the lead one gesturing to the others and they disappeared inside a building

then you talk to Red and go beat down on lizards so that also puts you and Red inside. You messed up your own post dont grab ass at me))))))))))))))

((OCC: Settle down boys, don't need this turning into anything. I was also under the impression we were outside. Sandwich, In your example the other lizards went inside to get the bag, then brought it outside to Red. It was a bit of misunderstood grammar, but if you read it you can see the lead lizard merely sends the others inside to get the tech. This isnt all that hard to fix, just invision them outside instead and edit accordingly.
