Wraith's laughter echoed around them and once more, he wondered if Red Fox and himself were the only well adjusted people in this group. When her lips parted and she spoke he smiled. "Always." It was the truth, he felt an attraction to her and it was more than her body. She had a body to worship.

Mentacles was still someone that he did not understand well. His capabilities were a known quantity at least he did not make an effort to hide them. Still, he was a telepath and that warranted caution. The memory of Ilyana was still fresh on his mind even now. The exchange between Mentacles and the Red Fox were noted. He said nothing, seeing no need to defend her honor. She was capable enough to do so herself, and he had a feeling that if he tried to get in the way he would draw her ire more than thanks. He was not a fool. Talon threw in another barb. At first, he thought nothing would come of it. Mentacles became translucent however and he sighed. "God damn it, could you stop behaving like children?

He could see all around him all the details which dominated the room available to his senses but he ignored most of them except for one. He could see his target, could see the impressive bulk of the mailman before him. Mentacles was there as well, he appeared translucent to him. Was he hiding in the incorporeal? He hoped so. His eyes settled on those of the mailman and immediately too seperate emotions danced in the pit of his stomach. Fear and Rage. He remembered when the mailman had taken his full strength star beam and smiled. He remembered it even now and the memory of it still brought shivers up his spine. That had been the second that the rage had been born. No one could deny him like the mailman had. No power could shrug him aside! His eyes were black orbs which glittered with malice. There was no other way to describe. Every fiber of his being cried out for retribution. It felt like he was in a dream. His right hand moving on its own volition, aligning itself with the target. At that particular moment, he did not <b>care</b> if Mentacles was in the way or not. His power flooded into his hand like water from a burst dam and for the first time, he could see odd symbols circling around his wrist. What was it? What did it mean? He did not know. He only knew that it felt right. That this time...it would be different. He growled, a sound that came from his deep in his throat. His power continued to build and build, his arm trembling beneath it as he fired. He did not fire once, he did not fire twice, he fired three times. </font><br>02:20 <B>(1550) Mentacles</B>: <font color='#000080'>(is it possible to throw a tekekinetic punch and just do straight damage?)</font><br>02:20 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>(three heavy overcharge attacks.)</font><br>02:20 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>[1d10+27] -> [9,27] = (36)</font><br>02:20 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>[1d10+27] -> [4,27] = (31)</font><br>02:20 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>[1d10+27] -> [9,27] = (36)</font><br>02:21 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>(actually, those are 35, 30,35. there is a -1 accuracy modifier)</font><br>02:21 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>(each attack is doing 675 damage if the mailman has any armor)</font><br>02:21 <B>(1548) gerardpaloma</B>: <font color='#800000'>(Talon and FM2k are in the way.

He personally did not even twitch. His eyes tracking the mailman for a moment before he disappeared beyond his line of sight. Hmm. He glanced towards Talon for a moment, wondering if he knew how close to death he had come moments before. He was not a hero anymore. The three strikes rule no longer applied. With Red Fox safe and the mailman weakened, he had something else in mind. He turned on his heels and walked ever so casually towards the hole that the Mailman's exit had incurred. He walked past talon and his robotic tin can and kept on walking. He saw Mentacles toying with the Mailman and shrugged. One way or another, the Mailman was not coming back. Oh, there were plenty of reasons to keep him alive. He had answers to many potential questions. But there was a part of him that would not be satisfied until the mailman was dead. He did not need to be the one to do it, but it seemed that Mentacles was incapable of doing it. A moment later, three seperate pulses of energy flew towards the Mailman.

His eyes tracked the Mailman as he began his descent and landed on the back yard of a house, a handful of blocks away. The sound was enough to draw the attention of the inhabitants of the home within. The family of four came running out of their home and into the backyard, the small crater in the center of rose garden immediately noticed. The Mailman was still alive but he was in bad shape. He could barely move, his chest rising and falling in uneven internvals. It was then that he arrived, hovering a meter or so above the ground even as the family gaped at his presence. "Can you hear me Mailman?" He spoke flatly, his eyes watching the battered face of his adversary. The Mailman stirred, trying to move, his eyes looking upwards towards him. "I suppose you can. You are in bad shape. I know that you have answers, I know that you want to live. But I am not interested in either, those answers or your life." He paused for a moment enjoying this moment even if he had not earned for himself. The Mailman was defeated but he would not allow him to return. His actions had sealed his fate. His right hand moved, the power flaring once more before he pointed his hand at the unmoving form. The Mailman could not dodge in his condition, he could do nothing. This was not a victory, this was murder. A part of him knew it, but it really did not matter. Not anymore. "Good bye." His power flared, the two meter wide lashing out with the power that flowed fromn the depths of Black Star's soul. He fired not once, not twice, but three times. The Mailman could not stand up to that...not after what Talon had given him. He watched the smoking body for a second and then another until he was satisfied that the Mailman was gone. He did not believe he would see him again. He rose into the sky without a second look to the family.

The fact that FM2k was caught in his attack could not be helped. He gave fair warning. Their stupidty had prevented him from attacking the Mailman before, this time he would not be denied. For a moment ,a fraction of a second he expected that all would be well. He had given warning, he had removed a threat. How much of a threat, remained to be determined but the man was gone. His ability to make supers out of nothing no longer in the cards. It had been a rsik to his long term plans and those of the family and he did not trust Talon not to capitulate on that discovery. His words had sealed the man's fate. Talon had asked only about himself first and foremost. He did not need to look at them, to realize that something was amiss. He saw everything in the room clearly. FM2K wailed in alarm at the damage it had suffered, and in the end it came towards him. He expected Talon would leash his dog. But he would not, and that was the first warning that something was amiss. Ah, so now was the time? They were turning on him now? Or was it just Talon. He saw others, their reactions flickering in his mind. A part of him screamed at him to move. When he felt the inklings of a powerful mind seeking his own, memories of Ilyana bubbled to the surface. He did not hesitate in retreating. It seemed that it would all end right here and now.

Now you've gone and driven him off."</font><br>04:17 <B>(1548) gerardpaloma</B>: <font color='#800000'>The sound of sirens can be heard in the distance.</font><br>04:17 <B>(1547) Wraith</B>: <font color='#000000'>(I have to go, Supper.

What the fuck? His mind reeled, but immediately he understood. Red Fox. It took seconds for him to gather his bearings and he flew low to the ground, aware that many abilities offensive or otherwise required line of sight to fuction properly. The higher in the sky he was, the more visibile he became. He flew mere meters above the cars on the street, already having a good way of leaving. He frowned, his hand moving in a pattern that activated his suit's communication systems. He tried to get in contact with Red Fox through the jeweled transmitter/communicator he had given her. He could only hope that she still had it on. "thanks for the assist darling. I owe you one." His voice was soft although irritation laced his tone. </font><br>04:18 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>(ciao!)</font><br>04:19 <B>(1629) Red Fox</B>: <font color='#400040'>"What is wrong with..." she stops as the sounds of police sirens fill the air.  "We'll work this out later," she finishes.  The sound of her blinking away is all that is heard afterwards.</font><br>04:20 <B>(1631) Talon</B>: <font color='#ff0000'>"God dammit. F2K, grab the Mailman and bring him with us. Maybe we can reverse engineer the juice from his blood stream. Stun him if he wakes up."</font><br>04:20 <B>(1632) Foe-Matic 2000</B>: <font color='#000000'>"This unit obeys."</font><br>04:22 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>He blinked at the term she used. What was wrong with him? He frowned, was anything wrong with him? Could she not see that Talon could not be trusted and that this technology was a direct threat to them? Would she enjoy a world where normal humans could become like they were? He hesitated, unwilling to use any harsh words that would destroy what could be the only permanent friendship in the group. Friendship...was that all that there was between them? Was that all that he wanted from her? He took a side street and continued on his evasion pattern, the cars beneath him speeding by as he flew. "We will." He would hold her to that. "You know how to reach me." The last was spoken more softly than he intended. So far, he had no regrets but losing Red Fox would certainly be one...</font><br>04:22 <B>(1629) Red Fox</B>: <font color='#400040'>(( um.  I don't think you could have heard that. ))</font><br>04:22 <B>(1624) Black Star</B>: <font color='#000080'>((doh. what happened?)</font><br>04:23 <B>(1548) gerardpaloma</B>: <font color='#800000'>And so our group has defeated the Mailman once and for all, destroyed the mad scientist's work and equipment, and eliminated the threat he posed. But relationships are strained. Will they be able to return to the same page? What of the juice? Will Mentacles ever get to make someone sing "I'm a Little Teapot?" We'll have to find out next issue.
