Shockwave:
Flying northwest over treetops near the 86th St. Transverse, you see the man in dark camoflauge that appeared in a flash of light on the back of the black Pontiac Gran Prix swing to the left side of the vehicle, and punch the shooter with the AK-47 in the face as he kicked away from the car. He rather unacrobatically bounces and flounders on the pavement hitting at the same speed as the car is traveling. As he rolls to a stop, the speeding driveby vehicle explodes, sending flaming debris all across the 86th Street Transverse Road. A large fireball leaps skyward as the car's fuel tank ruptures and ignites creating a massive fire in the middle of the street.
An oncoming New York City Transit bus rounding the curve barrels through the flames to a screeching halt on the sidewalk, knocking over a lamp post.
The police car in pursuit of the driveby shooters swerves to miss the man in the road and the oncoming bus emerging from the driveby vehicle's exploding fireball and it strikes the curb, launching it into a sudden high speed crash with a tree below and behind you. The police car's engine compartment bursts into flames. The officer driving is trapped. His partner is trying to free him from the vehicle.
Two men dressed similarly in bright neon orange and green gang clothes from the crowd that was being gunned down run up and start kicking the camo-wearing man that appeared then jumped off the speeding car. One of them fires 3 shots at close range into his chest.
Four other men wearing bright orange and green gang clothing split up in pairs, two begin running east towards 5th Avenue and the other two south deeper into Central Park, towards where you left Felicia. On the sidewalk lay 3 people, all wounded from gunfire and bleeding. One of them is wearing bright orange and green gang clothing.
Oldschool and Flashdance:
After clearing the softball fields behind the Met in Central Park, on your third leap towards the sounds of gunfire, you see a huge fireball erupt into the night sky from the road up ahead and you hear brakes squealing. A tree behind and below Shockwave buckles violently, sending its leaves flying as you hear a huge metallic crash followed by another. The police car siren slows to a dying halt. Oldschool still hears the hypersonic whining pitch of Shockwave's armor and dogs in nearby apartment buildings are still howling.
You hear screams of pain and panic as your fourth leap lands you on the sidewalk along the 86th Street Transverse Road. Three people lay on the sidewalk, bleeding from gunfire - an old man, a slinkily dressed girl in her teens, and Oldschool recognizes the gang colors on another gunshot victim as belonging to the Broad Daylight Killaz gang. Two BDK members are running east towards 5th Avenue. Two others are running into the park behind the Met.
Down the street, a burning police car is crashed into a tree, an NYC transit bus has knocked over a lamp post, and a raging inferno is blazing from the twisted wreckage of another vehicle. You hear one of the police officers from the crash attempting to free his partner from the wreckage.
Two more BDK members are kicking the hell out of a masked man lying on his back in the middle of the street dressed in camoflage strapped with rifles, pistols, grenades, swords, knifes and other commando gear. One of them fires three rounds into his bullet resistant chest protector.
Solo:
You had expected to teleport but your power wasn't fully charged up and you hit the pavement hard in a tumbling roll from the speeding car. Your grenade explodes, creating a massive fireball and fire of the driveby vehicle. The pursuing police car crashes after dodging both you and an oncoming bus. The bus skids into a lamp post.
Two men in bright orange and green clothing stenciled with the letters BDK run into the street and begin kicking the hell out of you. These men were the apparent targets of the driveby shooting that has left three wounded. One of the BDKs kicking you fires three rounds into your chest armor, bruising pain but no damage.

"Looks like a warzone, FD! I've never seen something like this outside of a military zone! They're gonna kill that guy!"
Oldschool quickly assessed the situation. There was alot going on. He was thankful for his military experience... it allowed him to prioritize. He knew he might make the wrong decisions, but atleast it was better than NOT doing something. He turned to Flashdance as his forehead wrinkled in discomfort.
What the hell was that whining noise?!?
"FD, try and stop those goons from killing that fool in the mask. I'm going to help that officer before his partner burns to death, then I'll move on to trying to help those who are hurt. I'm no doctor but they look serious. Be fast, brother!"
With that he launches his frame toward the police officer (hoping that if he frees the officer up, he'll have first aid and be able to assist the fallen innocents... then he could lay the hammer down on the fleeing thugs).
Initiative... (first number)

"Great Googly-Moogly - its a mess down there! Sounds good Old School - I was only trained to hurt people; not the other away around. I'll just port' mask-boy out of there for now... I best make sure he didn't deserve that thump'n before I kick their butts."
With that Flashdance will attempt to teleport right in the middle of things within touching distance of Solo. Detailed action (and roll for Teleport) after initiative.

"Pain nothing but pain, it never got better no matter what, he just learned to tolerated it in all of his experience as a soldier and now as a counter terroist. If that thug would have aimed higher I would be dead meat.
Sometimes he envied capes that were invulnerable, but then again wasn't pain part off our humanity?
No time to think about that kinda crap!"
After Solo got shot, he pretends to be dead, and when the guys are close enough slice there Achilles heels with his 2 hidden combat knifes (kill bill style, just 2 thugs at once).
Imitative roll...

Shockwave looks over the situation, a bit overwealmed at what to do first. Save the police, save the people who had been shot, save the guy who fell off the car...or Felicia. He noticed the two thugs running in Felicia's direction. He feels she was his responsibility since he had just left her alone. Using his guantlets to redirect himself in their direction, he lines himself up to make a dive at them.

Initiative order (adjusted with Intuition modifiers)
Flashdance - teleporting to Solo and then? (full actions should be declared before initiative roll, we'll let it pass this time because you're first. Bright flash of teleportation effect may disorient gang members AND Solo)
Felicia Bifrost - running to Met
Bus Driver and Passengers - fleeing the crashed bus
Oldschool - leaping to the crashed cop car to save cop, need Strength FEAT to rip away mangled car door and get cop out (he needs "Jaws of Life" to pull that twisted metal out of the way)
Shockwave - dive attacking BDK #3 or #4 (or both?) roll single attack (declare target and speed of flight Charging) or roll Green Flight FEAT to target both, then roll attack. Dive attacks are +4CS to hit (which gives you the bonus to target both... don't miss - high speed impacts with the ground hurt. If multi-target attack fails, the modifiers of missing -3CS and +4CS for diving still stack for a +1CS on a single target)
Solo - Roll Intuition to prevent surprise blinding by Flashdance's teleportation, for the slashing attack on two targets, roll Fighting FEAT for two target multi-attack (need Green, unless blinded by Flashdance, then need RED), and roll attack (to hit is -3CS if blinded, -3CS against single target if multi-attack fails, -6CS against single target if blinded and multi-attack fails)
Police Officer #2 - attempting to free partner
BDK gang members - running
I'm still working on the map. I recently discovered there is a real-life police precinct nearby ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

![](http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg340/deadsidekick/chapterfourroundonemap.jpg) Sorry about disproportionate character icon sizes. Felicia really isn't that tall ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) I'll get scales more accurate later. The solid lines you see on the map are area borders. Icons are in the position there were at the beginning of the round. As long as nobody with Remarkable or greater strength starts uprooting trees or tossing cars around, I think this map will do for now, ugly as it is. Edit: oops, I forgot to place the wounded on the map. They're all on the sidewalk on the roadside, north of Felicia and east of Flashdance and Oldschool, roughly under where the "86" in the street label is.

OCC - sorry about that, I was posting in a coffee shop and got a little ahead of myself (or behind, depending on the point of view!)
Flashdance is going to teleport right smack dab in the middle of the action and zap the guy on the ground out of there. He is relying on that hopefully they won't be expecting a man with foot-tall hair to just pop in and pop out in a bright flash.
Teleport roll - [attack=783425949324776]
And now for the descriptive (assuming the teleport worked!) With more than just a little bit of a devilish grin on his face, Flashdance yells "Let's dance!" as he attempts to teleport into the crowd. If the teleport is successful, he says something very profound as he grabs toward the man on the ground...
"hi."
Not sure if I can attempt this in one move, but I would like to pop in and pop him out in one move. This of course might be a power stunt I don't yet have...
