After classes and quick bite at Sparky's Evan heads back over to Angel Towers, pulling on his mask in an alleyway and shucking his clothes into a duffel. Trying to keep an eye out for any pedestrians while at the same time trying to quickly change and make sure that he exits moderately unseen.
Teleporters have this made, jump into costume and teleport over. When the action's over, teleport out and change.
As Elixir ducks in, he passes Tommy on the way out.
"Hey you look better, any news inside?"

Teleporters have this made, jump into costume and teleport over. When the action's over, teleport out and change.
As Elixir ducks in, he passes Tommy on the way out. "Hey you look better, any news inside?" Elixir encounters Tommy Bifrost exiting the Angel Towers building. Tommy looks at Elixir up and down and says "I thought you were made out of silver? Really burned the crap out of that werewolf! Ah, there ain't nothing goin' on in there. Shockwave's got some robots all taken apart. I kinda feel bad for it, you know, a robot playing with robot body parts. But it saved my mom in the park the other night, so as long as it doesn't go all Ultron on ya, Shockwave is kinda cool. Solo is badass, straight up ruthless! He blew away all those Broad Daylight Killas, dude is sick! He's going to have so many bangers looking for him it ain't even funny. But he can take 'em. I left my number inside in case y'all decide to make a move on Hammerhead. Show him the Maggia ain't all that. Intergangin' got mad tech. Y'all have pushed back his Faces of Fear gang twice where they're tearing up gangs all over the city otherwise. My boy Razor is asking for me at the hospital so I think he's gonna give me command of the Flashing Blades. Y'all got street backup if you need it. Holler." As Tommy hails a cab, Elixir goes inside to hear that Flashdance has called asking the heroes to go to the homeless shelter to meet someone with information on Windchill. ===== Vendetta watches the old man Jenkins gather up Oldschool's shoebox full of personal belongings and replace them in his room. As he returns to the table there is a flash of brilliant light as suddenly Flashdance appears in the homeless shelter.

Vendetta watches the old man Jenkins gather up Oldschool's shoebox full of personal belongings and replace them in his room. As he returns to the table there is a flash of brilliant light as suddenly Flashdance appears in the homeless shelter. Vedetta goes for his nightsticks by reflex as Flashdance appears, then visibly relaxes as he recognises one of the heroes he has been following on the news. "'bout time you yahoos made it here" he grumbles "where are the rest of the boyscouts?"

Flashdance teleports in, smelling of stale cigarettes, chewing tobacco (with the telltale slight brown stains on the sides of his mouth, and a little like PBR. As he saunters into the room, his right boot makes a slight sticking noise that Vendetta is pretty sure is being made by a piece of gum stuck to the heel. As he turns to sit down, that's when Vendetta notices the piece of toilet paper sticking out of the back of his spandex pants.
Sorry Amigo, I, uh, had to go debrief a witness. You know; really high level government-like stuff. Cloak and dagger. Not surprised I'm the first one here. I started to teleport over as soon as I called the others.
Catching himself, he looks over his shades at the new guy.
"Called them in for some reason that is that I'm not going to tell a complete stranger that doesn't have a beer for me. How about you tell me why you're here, if you can turn into a werewolf, AND what the average flying speed of the African sparrow is?!?"

Vendetta takes a deep breath, as he eyes the man before him. <I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry> he thinks to himself. "allright I have information about a friend of a friend. No I can't turn into a werewolf and the average flight speed of the african sparrow is 16 to 19 mph" he said trying not to sound too amused. "Oh by the way you have something on the back of your pants"

The old man Jenkins looks at the redneck teleporter with a annoyed glance. He's definitely not in the mood for jokes. Flashdance notices that the homeless shelter is riddled with bullet holes.
"Thanks for getting here so quickly," Jenkins says, "But you always do that, I suppose. This guy here claims to know Oldschool and has information about Windchill. I thought it best to get you and the rest of the team here to find out what he knows, and to show you what thugs from the Nefaria crime family did to the shelter while you all were fighting monsters in a pool hall last night. They were looking for Oldschool. They say he trashed one of Count Nefaria's businesses doing work for Hammerhead. I know that ain't right. I mean, he'd probably trash one of Nefaria's businesses, but he wouldn't work for Hammerhead."
=====
Back at the Angel Towers Building, Spellbound's form shimmers with a silvery band of reflective energy around her for a moment before pointing at a wall, which becomes a Gateway portal. Through the portal, the heroes see Flashdance and Oldschool's friend Jenkins from the homeless shelter talking to a man in black combat armor.
"Dang, Flashy beat us there," Spellbound says with a smirk. "Gentlemen? Break on through to the other side...."
ooc: I'm running Spellbound just for this moment to facilitate the "instant arrival" of the other heroes at the homeless shelter.
======
Back at the homeless shelter, a wall shimmers with silvery energy forming a portal then the image of Spellbound, Renegade, Elixir, Solo, and Shockwave become visible on the other side of the portal. The heroes step through into the homeless shelter.

Renegade gritted his teeth as Tommy left. The kid was dumber than a bag of hammers to just leave soon after he was almost killed by the gangs. But there was nothing he could do since none of the others were also not interested in keeping tabs on the punk. Renegade reluctantly allowed himself to follow the group into a shining silver wall. As far he could tell, he was in some kind of shelter.
He noted another guy in a type of armor reserved for SWAT or paint ball enthusiasts.
Great. Another armed homicidal maniac. Must be Solo's family reunion or something.

Elixir charges through the portal, not sure what to expect, but seeing a man in what looks like SWAT gear, he burst out,
"Who're you and what do you know about Windchill!"
It's only after this that he notices the bullet holes.
Things are getting nastier and nastier.

It's only after this that he notices the bullet holes. Things are getting nastier and nastier.Elixir Vendetta looked the kid dressed in green and red up and down "Who are you ... Captain Boyscout?... and why should I tell you who I am? - you need to learn some manners I think." Vendetta turns his back on the brash one (Elixir) and adressed noone in particular. "I helped a kid at a warehouse by the docks - Dropped him off at an old buddy of mine, and made sure he had enough cash to help him. He was not looking too good though ... I hope he makes it because at the moment hes the only link to finding out exactly whos behind this flareup in the gangwars.... not that I mind the gangs killing each other... makes it easier for me to stop them ... but the innocents .... they always seem to get caught in the crossfire .........." Vendettas voice trails off as he is lost in his own memories briefly. /ooc just to expalin the comment about Elixir - not sure what they look like in the US but some bouyscouts here in Denmark where I live wear green uniforms with a red scarf around their necks ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ooc/

Jenkins pipes in, "These are friends of Oldschool. You're mouthing off at Elixir. I don't know what his powers are. This one here with the impossibly red hairdo, cowboy boots and baseball bat is Flashdance. He can teleport. Over there in the black leather and carrying more weapons than most Special Forces fire teams is Solo, another teleporter. The blue robot is named Shockwave. Her name is Spellbound, a healer and magic user of some sort." Indicating Renegade, Jenkins says "I've never been introduced to the man in yellow and midnight blue." Extending his hand to Renegade, the old man says "I'm Jenkins. Any friend of Oldschool's is a friend of mine."
Turning to Vendetta, Jenkins says, "Last night, goons from Nefaria's crime family came here looking for Oldschool and when they couldn't find him they trashed and shot up the place. Before that, yesterday morning, Hammerhead showed up here, in person, trying to bribe Oldschool with a massive food donation to the shelter. Then one of Nefaria's warehouses on the docks blows up and these guys battled robots to confiscate a large amount of that 'Kick' drug to turn over to SHIELD before vanishing into thin air. Word on the street is Nefaria was running a Kick lab in that warehouse. These guys have been taking on gangs and Kick junkies for the past two days, and now Oldschool and Windchill are missing. So before you start dispensing lessons in manners after driving here looking for Oldschool on a bike drenched in blood, you might consider doing a head count of how many students are in your class."
Jenkins mutters "Punk..." and returns to his chessboard.
ooc: doing a quick behind-the-scenes Reason FEAT for Vendetta:
[attack=475142929521375]
Vendetta easily recognizes that Jenkins is mistaken. Shockwave is not a robot, but rather someone in a suit of powered armor made from customized and highly modified components of Mandroid and Guardsmen combat armors. The work is admirably innovative in its articular motion servos, not clunky at all. Somewhat similar in concept to some exoskeletal powersuits proposed for a classified top secret program call Project: Wideawake that fell to different contractors like Lexcorp and Shaw Industries, forcing layoffs at Stark that caused Mike's (Oldschool's) sub-contracting business to fail. Vendetta had been surprised by Mike's sudden appearance as a superhero but more so that he wound up destitute in a homeless shelter. It seems unfair that someone like Mike Sherman couldn't have landed on his feet with a black budget project like Wideawake, whatever that is. Even Vendetta's contacts in the US Defense Department lacked security clearances for it. Regardless, this Shockwave has access to some impressive technology.

Renegade shook the man's hand and replied. "Likewise. Name's Renegade by the way."
He wanted to search for Stick and knowing full well that these guys might be the only chance to find his master, decided to remain with them though he will keep an eye on the two serial killers, Solo and Hockey Mask Man.
Because while Renegade worked outside the law, he was never deluded to believe that he was above the law.
(OOC: Renegade also makes a Reason FEAT to see if he knows anything about Oldschool.)

Shockwave pauses a moment, about to correct Jenkins when he is called a robot, but decides it doesn't really matter. Speaking of robots, I wonder if my time might be better spent getting them running. Almost looks like this shelter could use one for protection. Of course that would likely just make things worse for everyone if the previous owners found out. No, those dreadnoughts would need to be kept somewhere safe once they were up and running. Right now, lets just hope this place doesn't turn into another brawl, that is happening quite a bit lately whereever we go.

Renegade only knows what the media has told of Oldschool and general knowledge:
that Oldschool is a former weapons designer now destitute and living in a homeless shelter, this homeless shelter, now acting as superhero with superstrength and durability that showed up at the Metropolitan Museum two days ago with Flashdance and Shockwave to investigate the theft of a book from their October Halloween display. Other heroes have joined them along the way, Spellbound and Elixir, and apparently now Oldschool and a teammate Renegade has never met named Windchill are missing, just like Stick and apparently the Met Museum curator and his assistant. The past two nights the group has been fighting monsters who appear to be coordinating attacks upon the various city gangs with a gang calling itself the "Faces of Fear."
Now somehow the search for the book and the gang wars seem to be tied to possible agents of the HYDRA terrorist network, and the team seems to be saddled with this fanatic killer Solo due to the strange amulet around his neck that has something to do with the author of the missing book and his history as a allegedly powerful warlock magician burned to death for witchcraft centuries ago.

Solo nods to the new faces exept renegade,"So how where should we start looking to find and free Oldschool and Winchill?" he asked.

"When the werewolf and the man with the black cloak raided the pool hall, i happen to catch a glimpse through the Darkforce user's portal. From what i figured out by seeing the surrounding area, my guess is that they all come from Lower Manhattan, south by the bay. A large area to be sure but its worth narrowing the search down." Renegade replied.
"Another odd thing is that my teacher, Stick apparently knew one of the attackers, some white haired lady who most likely moonlights as a erotic dancer though there were no metal poles at the pool hall."
