Dylan cocked an eyebrow, making his already odd-looking eyes even more offputting, "You're about to show me a superhero's hideout. What do I need to be ready for apart from traps?"

Brella was slow, and knew she didn't have the speed to catch up with her foes on mere energy and amps alone. Her fit of rage had sent her down this road.

Slowly she came to a halt and sighed as the car left her view. Maybe it wasn't worth it tonight. She turned and returned to her workshop, slipping out of her gear as she did so.

Avery chuckled a bit and shrugged, starting for the door. She placed her hand on a brick, which lit up a silvery-blue color around her hand.

“Honestly, not much. The girls and I keep it pretty clean here. They’re not supposed to be here right now, so there shouldn’t be anything to worry about from them,” she explained. “C’mon on in.”

Megan had watched the new person with guarded interest from a nearby rooftop. She was currently sitting on the ledge, her legs dangling off the side, as she watched the woman disappear into her place. A glance in the other direction showed her the shiny, sliver car that Aspect sometimes appeared in as it drove away, out of sight. She shrugged and laid back on the ground.

@Mr.Misfit

Dylan used a shadowed hand to push open the door, and found the spaciousness immediately unnerving. Glancing casting a sideways glance at Aspect, he stepped inside and held the door open for her, eyes trained on the nearby walls. Eventually, he eased out of his stiffness, releasing a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.

Why am I so nervous? There is absolutely no reason to be.

Dylan smiled, though he knew Aspect couldn't see it, "Are you trying to show off? I think you're trying to show off."

“No, actually,” Avery laughed as she stepped inside.

She reached over and flicked the lights on, flooding the room in a white glow. The room wasn’t huge, but it was a good size to fit four young women in it. A couch was pressed up against one violet wall of the living room, the white kitchen was to the left, and the hallway was painted black and stretched to the stairs.

“Would you like anything to drink? I think we have some soda in the fridge, and we definitely have coffee. Otherwise, there’s water,” she offered with a shrug as she made her way to the kitchen.

@Mr.Misfit

"I'm fine, thanks. Say, when did you decide to set up shop here? I've only heard of heroes from Britain. Last headline I got was some elemental kicking rear and taking names in London."

He couldn't remember her name, but that part didn't matter. Without a terrible number of villains here in America, heroes didn't really make themselves known. Dylan still wasn't really a hero himself… he wasn't recognized by the League, and was more or less a hometown vigilante to the authorities. His own college hadn't even heard of him, which made it ideal to go to in order to avoid being bothered or seen.

Avery shrugged and grabbed a glass from the cupboard. She filled it with water, took a sip, then glanced around the room.

“It’s been about two years since I got my powers… I didn’t really start ‘supering’ until about a year ago,” she explained. “My girls and I… We’ve had a tough time here. Not many people think of us as heroes, more of a group of women who think they’re making the world a better place but are really just getting in the way of actual justice…”

@Mr.Misfit

"Is that how you see yourselves?" Dylan challenged, "Regardless of what people think, Red Falcon seems to be a bit of a chaotic figure. I think not even the army could deal with her as you do. They certainly couldn't do jack against Wings. And believe me, she's a handful."

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

“Oh, I know it,” Avery chuckled, along another sip of her water. “She is a handful, even for the four of us. I’m surprised you did so well against her for so long.”

@Mr.Misfit

"I didn't so much fight her as bother her. Without a direct angle of attack, my daggers bounce right off her wings, which feel like they're armored at this point. And she's too quick for me to track. It's either I surprise her, or I get my head cut off. But anyway…" Dylan slid off his dark table, "So both Wings and Red Falcon are here. How do we deal?"

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

Avery sighed and picked her glass up from the counter where she’d set it while Dylan was talking. She nodded toward the living room before walking toward it.

“Honestly, I’m not sure quite yet. As long as they have teamed up, though, it should be easier. We could both go after one at the same time so she gets surprised,” she suggested with a shrug.

@Mr.Misfit

Dylan followed, twirling a dagger between his fingers. "I'd suggest going after Wings first, then." he offered, "She loves commotion, so if we get tangled up in a fight with RF she'll be there before you know it."

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

“Ah, yeah. Red Falcon is a sucker for drama, too, so she would definitely make a commotion,” Avery agreed, sitting down on one side of the couch. “How does Wings think?”

@Mr.Misfit

Dylan raised his hand and counted off on his fingers, "She'll try to catch ya midday, when I can't do much and she gets extra energy. She'll try to kill you. She will not let the fight go on for too long, else she'll turn tail and come back to bite you later, after she's sapped some more energy." He stared off into space, then remembered something, "Oh yeah, and she'll get angry very quickly. She once tried to split me in two… she ended up hitting a car, and kinda blew the whole thing up. After that I had to get a shard of aluminum removed from my arm."

Avery’s eyebrows shot up as she listened to Shadow explaining the woman. She nodded slowly, chewing on her lip in thought.

“Okay, so well have to be quick, then. Seems like the faster we do this, the better. And we’ll have to make sure we’re not very close to a power source, too,” she mused. “And we’ll have to be careful not to anger her… Unless we could use it to our advantage somehow…”

@Mr.Misfit

"No…. No.." Dylan shook his head, "She caught a dog in the crossfire once. There weren't even ashes to give back. If we can avoid pissing her off, that'd make the fight a lot easier… and a lot safer." He reviewed his advice, compared it to what Aspect had said, then nodded, "Other than that, yeah. Quick, away from power, and during night, preferably. But unless we flush her out that's unlikely. Any ideas other than that?"

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

Avery sighed and glanced around thoughtfully. How could they flush her out…?

“When I was fighting her — well, tracking is really a better word, I guess — um… I used the form of a wolf to find her. I’m pretty sure she hated it and thought that it was leading me to her. I’m not sure if she even knew that I’m a shapeshifter,” she explained. “So maybe if I change into that form and go wait outside for her she’ll come out…”

@Mr.Misfit

"Eh…. Are you sure?" Dylan asked, hesitant to put his new ally in danger, "Maybe it'd be better to just call her out. If she's still gathering info on you, she won't try to kill you….probably. She likes digging up secrets…."

To hell with the talkabouts, Dylan, cut to the chase!

He rolled his eyes and flattened his tone, "Look. She'll take you out as soon as she glimpses you. You're not going out there just to piss her off. There's other ways."

@Mr.Misfit

(The other rp is so quiet….)

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

(I know… I don’t know what to do, so I was waiting for someone else to respond…)

“I see,” Avery murmured, nodding slowly as she took in the information. “All right, so no wolf, then. Not unless we need her to track something… Anything else?”

@Mr.Misfit

Dylan raised his hands in an apologetic I dunno, and yawned, "Aaahh, ah crap. I'm out of it. There a hotel or somewhere I can hunker down for tonight?"

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

“Well… There is one a few miles away, but it’s pretty crappy. And the next closest one is super high-end…” Avery mused thoughtfully. “I suppose you could stay here if you need somewhere to stay. We’ve got an extra room, and the girls and I rarely even sleep here, anyway.”

@Mr.Misfit

Dylan shrugged, "I wouldn't want to be an intrusion, especially since I only just got here and I'm the only guy, but so long as your team doesn't mind, I don't mind either. lead the way."

Slipping his phone out of his pocket, he left a note to his friends at college saying he'd be out of town, then followed Aspect down the hall to his room.

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

Avery nodded and led him down the hall. She opened the door to a smaller blue-gray room with a single, black bed in the center. The sheets were white, making the room almost seem monotone, we’re it not for the blue tint to the walls. A white dresser sat against the wall opposite the bed, and a white nightstand was beside the bed.

“You can stay in here. The girls and I never use this room,” she explained as she moved aside to let him look around.

@Mr.Misfit

"A room's a room," he replied, slipping in, "I'm not picky. Just knock or something if and when you need me. I'll probably be sleeping light tonight."

Wishing one more goodnight to Aspect, he uncovered his face once she was gone and sighed. Today had been long, and the day tomorrow would be worse. The anticipation of the fight would drive him up a wall.

Dylan threw himself into the bed, and his mind switched off, like a computer with the power unplugged.

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

Avery had left Shadow to his room, bidding him a quick goodnight as she stepped out. Quietly, she made her way down the hall and back to the kitchen. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d eaten that day… Or if she even had, really.

A few minutes later, she had a Hot Pocket in her hands as she made her way to the couch. She pulled her phone out and sent a quick text to her sister.

AVERY: Not going to be home tonight. Working late.

COURTNEY: Again? Okay. Well, goodnight, I guess.

AVERY: Night.

@Mr.Misfit

(Time skip or POV fwip?)

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

(Time skip sounds good! To morning or the plan?)

@Mr.Misfit

(I return! Ah, the lovely IN weather has switched personalities yet again!

That depends if we want to act out the daily aspect of Dylan and Avery. Or we could do the morning to give our villains time to interact….)

group
@Imperfect_Autumn group

(That would be fine! I’d like to see how they interact in the morning in this rp. Lol.
Do you want to start, or should I?)

@Mr.Misfit

(After you!)
