Herbert had to play a fast card. As out of control as he was, he thought he could play this off. With a jerk he let of a string of electricity towards her, as his body flickered in and out of visibility. The pain was getting too much. He was going to pass out and soon.

Margarita gritted her teeth and tried to increase her speed. She put all her strength into controlling the rope with Taniel. She looked back quickly and saw the two heroes helping each other. Feeling a bit more safe, Margarita managed to get away with Taniel and retrieved to a safe place. She couldn't hold him anymore and collapsed on the ground, pulling herself closer to Taniel. "Please, please, regain your senses!", she whispered to him. Margarita felt too overwhelmed and passed out.

The small burst of electricity caused Chris to grimace in pain but the remainder of her energy protected her from serious harm.
"Just.....g-get out.....of the way," she gasped as she was losing consciousness fast.

Taniel felt his muscles begin to relax and he opened his eyes slowly. He checked his pockets to make sure nothing had broken open before standing up and surveying the area. Where was he? Last thing he remembered was an extremely painful feeling going through his body and now he was in an area he didn't recognise. He looked down and saw Margarita passed out on the ground, and he quickly dropped to the floor and held her, shaking her lightly to see if she would wake up. He checked his energy pool, and found it was nearly empty. He took out the last few morsels he had stored in his bag and chomped them down, settling in place next to Margarita as he waited for it to return the amout of energy he required to fly them out.

Herbert shook his head. Sorry Chris... he thought. She was weak. Maybe he'd outlast her...

By now Chris had noticed that Margarita and the cloaked figure had escaped. She drew the energy back in, pumping it through her body. She was furious that Herbert had gotten in her way. With an earthshattering cry she let an almighty shockwave around her (OOC Herbert would be knocked off his feet) as her aura turned red, fueled by her rage.

Taniel slowly felt his energy return and with it, a way of escape. He held onto Margarita and clumsily put her in a firemans hold, before taking off back to the accomodation block.

Herbert, all ready unable to keep himself in control, was thrown backwards. Electricity twisted around him as his body went invisible. Right until he got the concrete, slamming his head and losing consciousness. All the powers shut off and his body became visible.

(OOC I have Flynn's permission for Chris to do this to Herbert and before all you shippers get excited, no it isn't a blowjob ) Chris was still absolutely enraged, her aura burning a deep red. She strode over to Herbert and smashed her left boot into his chest as he lay there on the ground. She did not let up. Her rage had blinded her and she needed to vent. "Why!?" >THWACK< "Why did you do that!?" >THWACK< "Why did you get in my way!?" >THWACK< "Why did you let them escape!?" >THWACK< "They work for the Redeemer! They're the enemy!" >THWACK< "They just set fire to a building and left a threatening message!" >THWACK< "People could've been hurt!" >THWACK< "Why did you let them go!? Why did you stop me!?" >THWACK< "Was it because of her!?" >THWACK< "The way you give her goo goo eyes!?" >THWACK< "I warned you about her!" >THWACK< "I told you she was working for the Redeemer! You didn't listen!" >THWACK< "When have I ever let you down!?" >THWACK< "When have I ever not heeded your warnings!?" >THWACK< "I've always been there for you and supported you when others wouldn't listen!" >THWACK< "The others doubted you but I never did!" >THWACK< "I always believed you no matter what!" >THWACK< "I always stood by you!" >THWACK< "But when I come to you!" >THWACK< "When I ask you!" >THWACK< "To support me!" >THWACK< "To believe me!" >THWACK< "To stand by me!" >THWACK< "What do you do!?" >THWACK< "What do you do!?!?" >THWACK< "You ignore me!" >THWACK< "You don't heed my warnings!" >THWACK< "You let our enemies escape!" >THWACK< "Do you think they'd be so merciful!? The Redeemer be merciful!?" >THWACK< "Don't be so naive!" >THWACK< "We could have taken them in!" >THWACK< "Thinned the Redeemer's numbers!" >THWACK< "We could have done it!" >THWACK< "But you let them go! You let HER go!" >THWACK< "Who even was the other guy!> Are you defending him too!?" >THWACK< "What makes them more important than me!?" >THWACK< "What makes them so special that you'd turn your back on me!?" >THWACK< "Why!?" >THWACK< "Why Herbert!?" >THWACK< "Wake up and tell me!!!" >THWACK< With that, Chris let out another cry of anger, screaming at the sky, her anger swelling up inside of her. With a blast, she took to the skies, swooping down and grabbing her bag from the rooftop before continuing onwards, ripping through the sky. (OOC don't worry about the power of her kicks, she held those back a bit but Herb is still gonna wake with a few broken ribs to say the least but nothing too fatal or serious)

(OOC: New day!)
Herbert woke up and cried out in pain as he flexed his torso. He took deep shallow breaths as he felt his ribs. Broken... how'd they been broken? He'd been in perfect health before his breakdown... he squinted up at the early morning sun. Fuck, how much time had he lost? He looked down at himself... his costume was charred, a huge ripped, blackened part of his right arm where he'd deflected the wizard's plasma burst. He put a hand on his head... that guy could have killed him with that. Did he even understand the power he was throwing around?
He pushed himself to his feet, his ribs burning and tried to access Lucio's ability. He knew it'd be useless though. He was burnt out... he couldn't even summon a spark at this point. But he had to get back to campus...
Herbert had to ride a bus back. As everyone stared at him in his superhero costume. He was still giving off the smell of smoke, and his ribs were hurting so much he was bending over constantly. This didn;t help to stop people staring at him. Eventually an old women came along and smiled at him.
"Are you with Olympus, dear?"
Herbert nodded; that'd be the best thing to say right now. "Yeah, yes, maam."
"Oh, I just love you heroes! With you shiny emblems, and funny little tricks, and tight costumes..." her eyes glinted.
"Thanks, erm, that's nice."
"You know, my husband was a hero?"
Herbert perked up. "Oh yeah?"
"Yes. The hero of sheets! I'm sure you've heard of his company!" She started to go on about her husband, her cats, her grandkids. She kept touching Herbert weirdly and Flynn started to look around, desperate for is next stop.
"What's you hero name?" She asked suddenely.
Herbert was at a loss. He hadn't thought of that yet. "Erm, Mega Man?"
The old lady looked disgusted. "What sort of a name is that? Urgh, you should change that dear."
Herbert nodded absently. "Yes ma'am." It was going to be a long trip.

The bus stopped and Thomas walked on board. His eye couldn't help but be caught by the strange man dressed in a white and gold suit, talking to an old lady. Olympus? Father for Justice? He smirked and decided to try something out. He moved to the back, and looked down. He focused on rearranging his features. A blocky, chin, a bent nose, squinty eyes... no-one would recognise him. Then he moved up to the man. Damn, he needed skin contact... but luckily... a smile drew over his face. A patch of his costume was ruined, leaving bare skin.
Gently, letting the bus' movement guide him, he placed a light touch on the skin. A wisp of purple vapour started to go off as he tried to absorb Herbert's abilities. He sensed it; power, so much power. It had to be him: Flynn. The powers were strange, muffled, like it was behind a sheet. He frowned. That might be the original power. The one that allowed him to replicate abilities. He became hungry with greed. Control yourself, Thomas.
That's him. The empath, Signe's voice whispered in his head. He never tried to help me.
Leave him alone! That would be Morris.
Thomas clenched his teeth as the voices started to argue.

Herbert didn't notice and didn't feel Thomas' hand on his arm. Distracted as he was by the other people on the bus.
(OOC: I don't know how double replication powers at the same time work though! This might get messy.)

Post by White on Feb 22, 2017 12:24:20 GMT
Thomas couldn't feel the pull of absorption. Something was fighting him. Was it an ability Flynn had absorbed, or his own power? He may have already replicated his ability and that was countercating it. He growled deep in his throat. He was sure he could overpower that if he concentrated but right now... was that a wise idea? He didn't want another lake situation. He'd let his hunger get the better of him and he'd suffered for it.
He focused for the briefest moment. He could feel a collection of powers, he just wanted to get one for a couple of minutes. Just to see... He gritted his teeth and picked one out at random, before pulling his hand away quickly. Flynn had likely felt a sting, but now he had another ability for a brief period. A lovely little taste of what was to come.
Unsure what it was, he just tried to focus, but nothing appeared. Come on! He glanced at Flynn angrily. How did his damn ability work? Did he need to take the ability first to get the others? Did he have the replication and all the others abilities too, BUT he couldn't access them because he didn't understand the power? It didn't make sense. Bitterly, he turned away.
(OOC: Obviously, Thomas has absorbed the empathy and with it, the emphatic mimicry evolution. However, Thomas can't feel empathy, so it's useless. He'd have to rely heavily on Herbert's empathy ability to use any power because it's not natural for him like it is for Herbert. Oh also, it's only for a few minutes too because he only held for a couple of seconds.)

Herbert felt a sharp pain and recoiled, looking around. However, he only saw an ugly man, who was too preoccupied with his nails to pay the Super any attention. The bus finally reached the uni and Herbert hopped off with a few other students. He took a deep breath and tried to get Nathan's emotions going. he couldn't give away his identity by watlzing into his room.
With a start, he managed to fly up into the air. His body ached and he barely had control, but he was flying, just about.
(OOC: Herbert is now at the Dorms on Campus.)
