As Vendetta and Elixir speed away on Vendetta's high-tech motorcycle, Shockwave takes to the air to follow them.
Spellbound sputters out "Hey, wait up" as they dart off into the distance. She sarcastically quips, "Man. We need some kind of leadership here. My quick math says three people capable of teleporting just got left behind with no idea where to go."
Her silvery reflective energy field swirls around her as she begins summoning a different power.
Solo finds a parked car, and begins to quickly case it out, preparing to break in and steal it to follow Vendetta to the place he left Windchill.
And then Solo feels a superhumanly strong hand catch his forearm as he moves to smash out the window with the butt of a rifle to enter the car.
"It's a shame. A low down dirty shame," Flashdance smirks in his country twang cowboy voice as he holds Solo's arm for a moment before letting go. "Such a promising career in assaulting drug dealers, blowing up robots, and fighting rabid horror show monsters from another dimension... reduced to stealing a beat up four-cylinder roller skate. My how hath the mighty fallen. Head's up soldier boy. I think our resident hocus pocus expert's got something in the works..."
ooc: Spellbound and Flashdance NPC'd with permission.

Solo pulled away his arm, and had a slightly pissed off expression on his face,"Listen kid rock, Its not my fault that my teleportation isn't working because of this damm trinket, Im just trying to follow vendetta so we can save windchills life. And Im not so sure about Spellbounds magic, no offence Spellbound, Im just paranoid around all that arcane stuff." He relaxed again and went back with flashdance to spellbound,"Youre right about one thing Spellbound, we need some leadership and some structure her in this group, if we want to stand a chance against the enemy we are facing."

Shockwave gained altitude to get some better surveilance of the area, making sure he could track the motorcycle below while seeing a wider area.

Spellbound looks at Solo through the the swirls of silvery, near-mirror like energies circling around her, offended anyways, and says "You're paranoid of me? You're the gun crazy killer wearing an amulet of a pissed off ancient necromancer looking for enough death energy to bring him back to..."
The amulet around Solo's neck glows with red energy as he approaches Spellbound's magical energy field and her voice trails off and a look of concern crosses her face. "Now that... is not a good sign."
Flashdance looks at Solo, then back at Spellbound, then back at Solo, and says "Not a good sign of what?"
Spellbound says "Last time Solo and I teleported together, into the pool hall last night, we briefly saw a vision of Bartholomew Jacobs, burning at the stake, wearing that amulet, and it was glowing just like that. Don't ask me what it means. I don't know. Probably something very not good and very sensitive to magical energy. You said that thing appeared aroud your neck after teleporting. It's apparent something about the dimensional medium your teleportation works though is a place outside known reality, but very close to the Earth dimension. Ordinarily I'd posit regular ol' quantum entanglement theory, but this seems downright demonic. "
Spellbound's seemingly nonsensical quasi-mystical techno-babble ends as her refective energy fades. Solo's pendant stops glowing as Spellbound's raw magical energy dissipates. "Something to study later. But for now..."
With a wave of her hands and a feigned "Abra Cadabra," the air ripples in front of her, and a mysterious energy portal opens. Through the portal, Elixir is seen climbing off of Vendetta's bike as Vendetta leaps off and kicks in the front door of a rather seedy looking brownstone building.
Flashdance says, "You locked onto Elixir instead? Clever!"
Spellbound says sheepishly "I cheated. I knew that where ever Elixir stopped would be where we're supposed to be."
Pointing to the gateway portal, Spellbound says, "After you..."

As Shockwave hovers overhead, Vendetta pulls his motorcycle up to a brownstone in a particularly rough looking part of town and he and Elixir get off the bike. Vendetta collects some weapons from the bike and then runs up to the door and raps on it hard with a billy club. Barely waiting for a response, Vendetta then shoots out the door knob and lock and kicks the door in.
A waft of extremely cold air emerges from the building, forming a fog of steam as it hits the significantly warmer air outside. The interior of the building, a makeshift doctor's office, is caked in a layer of frost.
Huddled on the floor and shivering in a parka is the seedy gangland doctor, fumbling with a syringe filled with a glowing green liquid. Held fast to a table by straps, Windchill is convulsing. His flesh is translucent, as if it were made of living ice itself, and a frosty breeze is blowing from his body. Windchill otherwise appears unconcious.
The doctor is equally surprised by Vendetta's sudden rush into the building.
"I.. I... he... he started producing ice from his body. I... gave him some Kick. I thought it would help...."

Vendetta aims the gun at the doc's head "drop it and back up" he says.
If he hesitates he continues "I can pit the ace at 20 yards with this gun - think I'll miss at this range?"

The "doctor" drops the syringe and backs away as the other heroes enter the room.
He says, "Wha... what? Hammerhead didn't send you all to pick up this mutie freak?"

Elixir rushes up to Windchill upon seeing his convulsions and hearing the "Dr." talk about Kick. He switches back to normal form and wraps his hands in his cape so that he doesn't get frostbite while checking Windchill's vital signs.

Elixir examines Windchill but there doesn't seem to be any way to check his vital signs. In fact, it seems like this living ice forms the shape of Windchill, but is a hollow shell encasing a vortex of spinning frost and air. It's almost as if the Kick this street thug surgeon has injected Windchill with has transformed Windchill's anatomy into air surrounded by a shell of ice.
As Windchill convulses, the ice cracks and reforms with a freezing crystalline crackle, as if the ice were simply being animated to shape itself into Windchill's form by the spinning frost and air inside it.
The doctor cowers on the floor at Vendetta's gun point, but starts to get a little lippy.
"If Hammerhead didn't send you to pick up this mutant piece of trash, then his boys are still on their way. You better get out of here."
Windchill stirs a bit, and his animated ice hands clutches at Elixir's cape. He speaks in a strained voice "...being played... war is coming... gangs being used... stirred up against each other... they have Oldschool...."
Windchill sputters... "What is happening... to me... powers out of control... I feel... I feel like I'm.... going... to explode...."

Vendetta puts away his nightstick and unholsters his second gun "Let them come - I'm ready for them - shame about your hand though..." as the 'doctor' gets a puzzled look on his face Vendetta simply pulls the trigger on one of his guns shooting the man in one hand "doubt you will ever be doing surgery again"
attack roll #1
[attack=217799643539923]
with that he heads for the front door to keep a lookout.

Solo sees all this and looks at Spellbound "...and you are worried about me?", then again he might have done the same. But really he didnt shot anyone who was unarmed, altough this doc might deserved that, but still. Looking at Vendetta he said in a calm but determened voice,"I dont think this was necesary man".

To Windchill: "You're going to make it dude, just keep it together. I'm going to have to try and help you though. It's going to hurt." To everyone (quietly): "You all may want to get some cover, he's got a tornado of air inside his ice shell." Okay, now what smart guy? He's got the Kick still in him, but he's not organic anymore. The drug must have switched along with his form to continue to affect him. His form now is ice, so anything that isn't ice or air should be the Kick remnants. I just have to isolate them and burn them out. Based on his keeping together despite cracks means I can probably evaporate small areas of ice and let them refreeze while at the same time isolating the Kick.OOC: trying an attempt to basically "filter" out the Kick from any water and atmosphere molecules. Let me know what kind of roll you want here (crossed fingers) ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Elixir

"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You son of a b!tch you shot me! You f@cking shot me! You shot off my ##$%#$%# hand! AHHHH!" The street surgeon howls in pain, nearly going into shock as he cradles his mostly missing hand. He crawls on the frost-covered floor, making a grab for the dropped syringe of Kick and planning to lunge and stab Vendetta with it in a last ditch effort of revenge.
[attack=339254368877837]
[attacking at -2CS, spending his tiny Karma for success...]
=====
Elixir wonders if his Catalytic Control power can degrade the metabolic reactions of the Kick drug coarsing through Windchill's extremely altered physiology. Elixir believes if he can examine a pure sample of the Kick used on Windchill, he can seperate it more adequately. Elixir is distracted from this thought by the loud BANG! of Vendetta's gun blasting off the street doctor's hand. He squirms in pain and grabs the only seen syringe of Kick, trying to stab Vendetta in the leg with it.

Shockwave's helmet sensors report:

Elixir yells, "Get that syringe from him, I need it in one piece!"
