Silver Surfer

Norrin Radd now freed of movement restrictions, moved slowly forward to examine the head. He placed both hands on the ice. He would start using the Power Cosmic to slowly build a living body onto the Zombie head. This was going to take some time. He would also do what he could to limit the signals it was sending out.

"Take Over." Came a voice through the comm Tony insisted all his 'high profile' employees carry. It was Riri! "Listen, I can barely move because of the time distortion but you can use the armor from further off. Get ready." At that point, the Ironheart armor was 'sent' to Janice, moving in slow motion at first but once it was no longer in contact with Riri's body it moved normally, and soon Janice wore the armor instead.

The armor closed in around Janice in time for her to receive the telepathic message from Eden. She quickly knew exactly how to get around the powers of this weird threat. Rather than moving the armor with her body which would be affected, she used her technopathy to make it move indepedantly with her just along for the ride.

Her first action once and everyone else was mobile was to scoop her up and fly the young girl up into a nearby tree.

"Stay here Jenny. I'll be back!" She said through the voice modulator. She also performed a scan on the girl to be sure she wasn't too frightened. What the scan turned up, the X-gene and skeleton laced with Adamantium, was a great surprise to her. This was not the normal girl she'd thought. While the scan couldn't tell her the nature of her powers, the presence of adamantium offered evidence for a good hunch. But that conversation would have to wait.

"Welcome aboard Janice." the Tony A.I greeted her. "Shall we get to work?"

"Let's." Janice flew to the nearest target and if her assessment was correct, blasted the head and Velocity with repulsor blasts from both hands.

Well it's good that someone could do something about this mess, because she just wasn't going to be able to help in this situation. She desperately wants to get to that man, the one holding the head. She wants to take his head off for threatening the people around her, for threatening Janice.

But she just can't.

She grits her teeth as every muscle in her body strains to force her forward, to break through the force. It is with will alone that she is still able to move. Even if it's only at a crawl. But eventually… she just drops to her knees with a small grunt, and then falls forward to land on her hands. She feels like she's carrying a Buick on her back.

It's about then she hears a voice, a mechanized voice calling her name. Well calling what her name is at this moment. She is able to turn her head a little… and her eyes widen as she sees Ironheart now enveloped Janice.

So when Janice said she works for Iron Man, she meant she works for Iron Man.

She watches as Janice attacks, but she just can't do anything. She really really wants to… but it's just not in the cards for her. She's pushed herself to her limit, and she just can't go anymore. But… she tries anyways. She tries to push herself up, but she's to weak. The strain she was pushing herself with was just to much, and it left her small form exhausted. It's like she was trying to will her way forward, but her body just couldn't handle it.

Will strong, body weak sort of situation.

So with a soft whimper she just slumps down to the ground, her palms pressed to that ground as if she were going to push herself up at any moment. Janice will probably be fine, but there's nothing she can do about that now anyways…
 
Azalia/Pandora
@Michale CS @Gands @Camleen @Ms.Ezra @The Wanderer

"Hands To Head...." Azalia began to repeat as the voices ceased and she found herself once more in control. "Hand to head... head to head... mind over matter." Azalia continued to repeat even as she reeled from all that was going on. Luckily, the woman had remained a decent distance from the heros as they charged forward. Attention was never one she enjoyed... especially in a time like this.

Despite her feelings she felt herself surge once more as more heads appeared. Shaking she felt more and more energy surge forward beginning to overpower her once more. Gritting her teeth she couldnt see Cypher anywhere... she was alone. Exhaling sharply Azalia only wanted to run. She didn't understand what was going on, what was wrong with herself... or what was going on.

Perhaps it was bad judgement thinking that a gathering of heroes wouldn't be interrupted by an overinflated villain's ego. Either way, despite all areas of her body telling her to run, she stood where she was and did quite the opposite. Body reacting as if it was instinct her wings began to materialize once more. The living shadows writhing within the wings moved before an eye suddenly appeared. On both wings a single lidless eye stared out, menacing and ancient it gave the woman her eyes back... so to say.

The two eyes began to drift around the wings as if they were made of black ooze within a wing shaped container. Seeing more of the purple suited bastards Azalia began to freak out. Fear swept through her before she tried to direct it away from herself and towards the entities now holding heads of their own. Wings pushing backwards Azalia began to move as she kicked off the ground and went backwards into one of the vendors stands.

Slamming through the back of the stand she hit the ground rather hard causing the woman to snarl out of pain. Taking a breath she tried to focus herself and do what she had always done... adapt to the impossible. She taught herself to see without her eyes and how to get around on foot... now she had to do the same but... in the air. Hands running through the grass she suddenly realized a new approach to the situation.

The dozen rabbit heads that once allowed her to see began to churn and roll around. Like balloon animals bring inflated their bodies began to extend out from different parts of their heads. For every head three whole bodies formed before two broke off and began to wander around without a head before gaining one of their own. The creatures began to laugh and throw things at one another before they stopped all at once. The goofy nature of the creatures seemed to sink away as their teeth elongated and their once docile form began to shift into something far more dark.

Feeling a sense of strength Azalia pushed herself off the ground but kept from using her wings. Mind reaching out as the rabbits began to blink towards the figure like Weeping Angels she did what occurred to her only minutes before. Using their own shadows against them Azalia brought them to bare against their owners. Black and yellow hands began to reach out from the shadows to claw against the entities holding the heads. Finally, the wisps themselves began to form and slowly snake their way up from the ground to encapsulate them as well as grabbing at the heads they held.

Breaking from the rest of the pack one of the rabbits suddenly shifted directions. The creature blinked across the meadow several times before appearing mid jump to latch onto the frozen head. Mouth clamping down on it the head came loose. Spitting the head back up the rabbit grabbed it by the hair and began to waddle away trying to use the chaotic situation as cover.

This was getting weird. First a man with a gun that could freeze people shows up, defeats the bad guy. Then more copies of said villain show up. Thankfully the other heroes were no longer slowed down.

Robbie looked to the closest copy. Taking a step forward, he threw his fist forward. A energy blast shooting from his extended fist. The blast sending the copy flying back. He was about to send another blast at one of the other copies, when he saw someone collapsed onto the ground. Not wanting to leave someone who was injured on the ground, he made his way over to them. Once he got closer, he saw that it was a girl.

Crouching next to her, he gently put one of his hands on her neck . Checking for a pulse, thankfully he found one. "Don't worry, you're going to be alright." He said, his voice muffled by the helmet.

He stood guard over the girl. If he tried to pick her up and get her out of there, he would be leaving him and her vulnerable to attack. To charge up his next attack, he pressed down on one of the spots where there was a spike. Inflicting pain on himself. Feeling the power growing. He wanted to be ready incase of attack.

First many of the runners and his brother were slowed by some purple flash reject with a horror theme going with a zombie-like head. So much for eating lunch Raph thought in disgruntlement, but fury took over with what happen to Mikey. Even so he took a tree to avoid suffering the same fate. He ready himself for combat when Captain Cold put a freeze on Veloicty only for six more verision of him to appear before them. Yet some of their friends were now freed.

Good now I can focus on busting heads.

Taking in Cold's and the Psych's advice, Raph pulled out a pair of ninja shurikens(throwing stars) in his right gloved hand. Then swiftly he tossed them violently toward the zombie head, held by nearest Velocity clone.

As he was trying to de-zombie the head, he did notice the energy construct running towards him. Curious he watched for a moment noting it was a tainted energy form, tainted with dark evil energies. As it got to where he was, he focused his energies on it, dissolving it completely. He was going to have to study this phenomena for a bit longer. Perhaps focusing white energies on the head to keep it from emanating dark energies.

For the most part Laura is out of it. But she starts to come around. It's been a while since she forced so much stress onto her physical form. And that energy… just something about it really sapped all of her strength. She wanted to help, she wanted to be of use… but that just wasn't in the cards this time.

But as she lays there upon the ground, her mind wanders for a moment. Janice in that armor… the same armor Riri was wearing. Mr. Monkey probably got smooshed. And she dropped her Hello Kitty somewhere. It's probably gone forever, she thinks. Just like everything else she has allowed herself to love in her life.

There are still many scents around her, many people panicked. But there is a scent suddenly very very close to her. Her wandering mind starts to focus once more on the here and now, and her eyes flutter open a little. And all she sees is a man's hand moving away from her. Her eyes widen and her body tenses as her mind tells her she is in danger. Her mind tells her to defend herself. A sudden surge of adrenaline as her fight or flight instincts kick in, and she draws her feet up. With a soft grunt she then springs to her feet. But as she does, she lets out a soft snarl as blades suddenly extend from one of her hands, and she swipes at Penance. She wouldn't hit him, it's more of a warning to him to stay away from her.


SNIKT
SNAKT


She gets to her feet and stumbles a little, those blades drawing immediately back into her hand. The wounds they caused as they shoved through her skin from the inside healing immediately. She breathes a little heavily as she stares at Penance with wide eyes, her form crouched just a little with her hands in fists at her sides. She looks as if she were ready to pounce at any moment. But she doesn't, of course. If she had the energy she might have, but that adrenaline surge is fading fast. She's usually more graceful than this, and usually more with it. But as she stands there staring at Penance… she suddenly notices she can move without pain, and without being slowed…
 
Charity Event - Velocity Battle
Silver Surfer

Norrin Radd now freed of movement restrictions, moved slowly forward to examine the head. He placed both hands on the ice. He would start using the Power Cosmic to slowly build a living body onto the Zombie head. This was going to take some time. He would also do what he could to limit the signals it was sending out.
The body began to form, and the head shuddered. Most of the other Velocity Time Remants shuddered as well, save one. That one's heads turned to look directly at the Surfer. "Already Have a body... don't need one." it said, focusing all of its time slowing power on Surfer, who had to use his board instinctively to intervene as a shield to keep from being stopped entirely. The board was absorbing the energies, for now.

Taking in Cold's and the Psych's advice, Raph pulled out a pair of ninja shurikens(throwing stars) in his right gloved hand. Then swiftly he tossed them violently toward the zombie head, held by nearest Velocity clone.

This was more effective than he thought. It seemed to dislodge the head from the grasp of the Velocity holding it, but then strange tendrils extended from the head and wrapped around the wrist of that particular Velocity. It turned and was suddenly at the base of the tree Raph was in, shaking it impossibly fast, leaves and everything in it shaking loose. Only Raph's training kept him in the now vibrating tree.

Black and yellow hands began to reach out from the shadows to claw against the entities holding the heads. Finally, the wisps themselves began to form and slowly snake their way up from the ground to encapsulate them as well as grabbing at the heads they held.

And... those hands would seem to ... merge with the heads, popping out the sides of two of the heads, forming new 'arms and legs' made from the same energy the heads fed on. It seemed, if she kept attacking with her energies, she would just make the creatures stronger.

"Please, more energy... maybe I don't need a speedster after all..." All of the Velocities besides the one Surfer was working on and the one trying to blast the Surfer said all at once. "More, or I'll TAKE IT!"

"Welcome aboard Janice." the Tony A.I greeted her. "Shall we get to work?"

"Let's." Janice flew to the nearest target and if her assessment was correct, blasted the head and Velocity with repulsor blasts from both hands.

It had the desired effect. On the body. The body had changed orientation impossibly fast, protecting the head from the blasts, but the body dropped to the ground. However, that head didn't seem to be doing anything anymore. Then, Snart came in with an assist and turned the downed body and head into a pile of ice.

"Score one for tech." Snart commented.

He stood guard over the girl. If he tried to pick her up and get her out of there, he would be leaving him and her vulnerable to attack. To charge up his next attack, he pressed down on one of the spots where there was a spike. Inflicting pain on himself. Feeling the power growing. He wanted to be ready incase of attack.

If she had the energy she might have, but that adrenaline surge is fading fast. She's usually more graceful than this, and usually more with it. But as she stands there staring at Penance… she suddenly notices she can move without pain, and without being slowed…

Laura and Penance shared a 'moment' at this point, but since they weren't making any moves toward Velocity, none were made toward them.

For a moment... it looked like even more Velocity clones were going to pop up, but half of them showed up with malformed bodies and others seemed to be interrupted by black figures that tore them away as fast as they arrived.

Finally, when the body was fully formed under the head that Surfer was working on,it tore itself away from the Velocity body with a sickening sound of sinew and cartilage tearing. It looked at Surfer. "Kill that one, he's the oldest." He pointed toward the one that was trying to stop Surfer.

She Hulk and War Machine, as well as Riri with her backup repulsor glove, made short work of the rest of the Time Remnants with the help of Turtle Titan, Nightwatcher, Janice, X-23, Dazzler and all of the other heroes present.


The Time Remnant that had originally appeared now with body intact, turned toward Surfer. "It's not entirely over. There's one older, before he found the ring. You need to find and stop that one, or this starts all over again..." at that point, the remnants and their zombie heads simply vanished as if they'd never been.

And in what was the most one sided gang up ever, all of the heroes piled on the original Velocity - and because a few of the aforementioned heroes didn't have anything against killing - simply slaughtered him.

"I won't need a ring if I find Pandora..." The 'original' Velocity said in a quiet voice as it too faded away.

Of course the lawn was an utter mess from the fighting, and it had happened so fast, with the time distortion, that most of the civilians didn't see much of what had gone on.

Richards recovered quickly, and fired the starting gun again, with a very strong hint for the heroes to go on as if nothing had happened. What they did was entirely up to them, however.

Azalia Ashburn
Running into the Treeline.
@Michale CS


Feeling the surge of power dissipate Azalia felt drained and exhausted. Yet, adrenalin suddenly surged through her body at the thought of people staring. She had enough to deal with, she didn't want to have more... she didn't want to be different. Patting herself down she turned and got a good look of herself from a mirror mounted on one of the carnival games. Staring at herself she did look different... but she still looked like Azalia Ashburn.

Somewhere between a panic attack and freaking out Azalia did the only thing that made sense... in fight or flight she chose flight. In the aftermath of the attack she chose to leave. The voices to say the least made her cringe and she wanted to leave. Not wasting time she made a slightly casual exit from the area. Moving towards the treeline her ability to see was suddenly cut off causing her to trip on a root and tumble to the ground.

Falling being broken by her wings wrapping around her she still hit the ground before sliding off. Laying on the ground she felt the cocoon she was in begin to dissipate. Her wings began to dissolve before she began to shift back to her street clothes. The feeling was painful but, it didn't last long. Rolling over after a few seconds she gasped and breathed in. Her throat felt raw and almost unused despite her breathing the entire time.

Coughing she managed to pat around and find a tree. Pulling herself up and against it she used it to support herself as she patted around her body. "Yep... all still here." She mumbled out letting out a sigh of relief. Running her hands through her hair she began to laugh "Let's not do that again... whatever that was." She continued speaking to herself. Somewhere between scared and amazed she felt torn over the events earlier.

Suddenly gaining her vision back she was horrified at seeing herself through over a dozen eyes. The sudden rush of sensory information made her twitch... or perhaps it was the rabbits finding her... that made her twitch. "Heiss!" One of the said before running up and kicking her in the shoe several times. "Knock that off!" Azalia said trying to wave it away but it was to far away. Like a swarm of lemmings the creature began to laugh before the rest began to laugh with it. Putting her hand on her face Azalia smirked. Despite everything, they at least got her to smile.

"Fine, I'll get up." Azalia grumbled out before all the rabbits put their arms up. "Yeah yeah... thanks for the support." the woman said before one of them pulled her up and onto her feet. "Find out where I am. I know I am in the park but... you all know why." She mumbled. The rabbit at the front tilted its head before it began to rotate all the way around. Taking this as a sign of compliance she let her head rest against the tree.

"Leonard Snart. Thanks for the assist. It's the only reason I'm not shutting down your gun for good, and bringing you in." Janice turned her head to the heroes who swarmed the remaining Velocity but didn't want to join in. They had it handled. When Richards fired the starting gun, Janice only kept walking back to where she'd left Laura. Maybe if this incident hadn't unveiled something about her new friend, she'd give the suit back to RiRi and join in.

But there was something more important to deal with.

"Back to RiRi Ironheart." She ordered the suit and it detached from her to fly back to its owner. Mr. Monkey was still hanging from her neck. Smooshed by the armor, but intact. She came back to Jennifer and found her being guarded by a man in a spiked costume she didn't recognize. If this guy wasn't a villain he wasn't doing a good job of looking like a hero.

"Thanks for watching her. I got it from here." She told the unknown man. Kneeling down, she put her hands on Jennifer's shoulders and gave them a reassuring rub. "Hey Jenny. I'm here. You're exhausted, so how about we forget the fun run, find Hello Kitty, and get you some food?" She asked, choosing not to launch right into her many questions about the girl. Right now her eyes showed a genuine concern for the girl.

As the dust cleared, Eden made a beeline to where Janice was. By then she was out of the armor and comforting Jennifer ( laura ).

Nonetheless, Janice is rapidly a victim of a ferocious hug.

"Everything is okay ? ( eventually noticing Jennifer (laura) Hi there ! "

After a few moments, Eden seems much calmer. "Time for food ?"

When the dust cleared, Surfer was left standing alone with his thoughts. He reached out with his senses, his very power in the most subtle way possible. Tracking the tainted power into the woods. He went to Richards.

" Reed Richards, there was an unusual meta involved in that brief affair. Tainted by dangerous negative energies. It may be going by a name, Pandora. keep an ear open for any unusual activity involving unusual rabbit energy constructs. Let me know right away if you find something. "

After exchanging a few platitudes with his friend, Surfer went back to the stage area to await the winner of his flight gift.

(( telepathically to Psyhawk ))

"Everything is okay with your friend and the young girl ? "

[ " Yes, I think I have a handle on it, thank you Surfer"]

"News Flash, Mini-Stark, but I work for the good guys now, and without a bomb in my head either. Go figure. I and the team I work with take care of threats to the time stream.

Robbie would take a step back from the girl after she swipes at him. He didn't want to aggravate her into attacking. Thankfully someone came over to check over the girl. Most likely a friend.

With the fight seemingly over and done. He had little to no purpose here. He still needed to talk to Mr. Richard. But if he changed back into his normal clothes, the wounds from the spikes would be noticeable. Not to mention, the blood would also be noticeable.

He sighed. May as well get this over with. Walking over to Mr. Richards, he would say. "Dr. Richards......Mind if we talk about something important?"

She still breathes a little heavily as she stares down the much larger and much more armored man, she wasn't totally sure what he was doing so close to her while she was out of it. And she has zero reason to trust anyone she doesn't know. And for a moment she considers attacking him… but that's when she catches Janice's scent as she moves closer now.

Her green eyes move towards Janice, and Janice would be able to see just an unsettling look upon her features. Anger. Bordering on a sort of rage. But she is unmoving as Janice comes closer to her, her head bowed down but her eyes on Janice's eyes. When the woman reaches out to her, Janice would feel how tense her muscles were. As if she were either getting ready to fight or to flee. Fortunately, she does neither.

She says nothing as she stares up at Janice, though she wants to say much. She isn't sure if Janice saw her blades or not, she isn't sure if Janice suspects anything about 'Jenny' whatsoever. But what she doesn't know is that Janice did do a quick scan of her form through Ironheart. And as she stands before Janice, she does seem to calm. Her body relaxing a little.

Her gaze flicks away from Janice as Eden kind of quickly approaches them, 'Jenny' catching the woman's scent before her eyes see her. As Janice is hugged she takes a step back, and her head tilts up a little as she sniffs a few times. She glances to Janice and Eden, and then moves away from them in a quick walk. She dodges through people milling about, some trying to get a grasp on what happened, some consoling others, some getting ready for the fun run apparently. Seems weird to her to still do the running thing after all of that, but who is she to judge. She doesn't have to wander far from Janice and Eden, though, to find her Hello Kitty. She leans down and scoops it up, letting out a soft and dissatisfied and aggravated "mmmrmm" as she sees people have been stepping on her. She brushes off the no longer new looking doll as she moves back to Janice and Eden, a worried look on her features as she tries to clean Hello Kitty up.

She stops near the two women now, holding her Hello Kitty to her chest with both hands as she looks up to them. As if she is afraid if she loosens her grip on the doll she would lose it again, and more people would trample her.

"Jenny? Are you okay?" Janice asked moments before Eden gave her a surprise hug. The contact calmed her somewhat, and she was distracted enough she was caught off guard when Jennifer ran.

Eden, that girl is a mutant, and I feel like she's in trouble. I need to help her. She said to Eden telepathically and started running after her. Thankfully Jennifer came back to them shortly with Hello Kitty in her arms. The redheaded woman sighed, relieved and when she put her hands on Jennifer again felt she was calmer now.

"Better? Good. Let's get you some food, and we can talk about what happened, okay?"

The trio walked back to the food stands, and Janice paid for whatever Jennifer's little heart desired before they found a table off from the others. "This is my special friend Eden. Eden, this is my new friend Jennifer. Apparently Jennifer is a mutant. Which is okay Jenny, because so are we." Janice took the monkey off her back, and set him on the table. "Looks like the Ironheart didn't hurt Mr. Monkey too badly. So Hello Kitty still has her friend." She made the monkey hug Hello Kitty while smiling at Jennifer.

"Speaking of friends. I hope you can be my friend, and tell me how you got that adamantium on your bones. Can you do that for me Jennifer?" She asked in a calm measured tone.

Eden Haller aka Psyhawk

Eden trailed along next to Janice, in some ways, very proud of her girl. In the back of her mind, just a little concerned. With a peripheral telepathic scan, she could pick up great amounts of anger, sadness and fear in the girl. Eden put a psychic tracer on the girl so it would be easier to find her. You know, just in case.

{ Telepathically to Janice }

" Go ahead Janice, I have your back. Tread carefully, this girl has seen a lot of bad times. "

"Nice to meet you Jennifer "

Eden's body language and attitude were centered on Janice. As if Gizmo was the most important thing in her life. Which at this point was probably close to the truth. Otherwise Eden trailed along without a concern in the world. But she would react calmly to anything ( Laura / Jennifer ) did or said. Almost absentmindedly, her mind scanned the surrounding crowd for people too interested or crazy, or plotting something horrible.
