Aurora's expression softened slightly and she stepped over Tephra's collapsed form. “I don't know. Some guy with a mask came into my room. He could phase through things. I blacked out, I don't remember everything that happened.” Aurora looked around at the other fights. “For all I know, he could be here right now.” She tried to look out for any phasing abilities, her attention was caught by the fight between Hawkblade and another winged Super, seemingly going through a sword. Aurora's eyes flickered black and a phantom smirk dressed her lips before Aurora's usual features came back. "I don't know though..." Her eyes dropped to the floor as she felt very useless.

Nathan raised an eyebrow. 'That doesnt give much time for dilly-dallying. What are our liabilities?'

Froststar froze the ground under Margarita's feet and the young woman lost balance and fell over. Then the Olympian kept creating ice around Margarita trapping her in something like a cell. "I don't want to hurt you! However, if you don't surrender yourself I won't have another choice but to kill you!", Froststar shouted.
"Surrender? So you can take me to Olympus and let me rot in jail just because I didn't want to play by your rules!", Margarita scorned her, "Don't get ahead of yourself, you are no killing anyone!". As she said this Margarita created her fire aura and fire shield, increased their heat and ice quickly turned into watery mess around her. Then she shooted flames out of her hand continiuosly like a flamethrower at the Olympian. Froststar reacted quickly creating her own ice shield to protect her but Margarita's flames started to melt it away. The hero looked above at the ceiling and froze it creating ice blades that started falling over Margarita. As one blade fell just in front of her, Margarita jumped back, made her fire shield and protected herself turning the blades into water. As she was distracted by this, Froststar ran towards her quickly and hit the woman in the chest. Margarita lost balance and fell down. She felt some horrible cold crippling inside her and she could barely move. Froststar stood above her and said: "I created ice inside you. The moment the ice spreads and gets your heart you will be dead. Surrender yourself!".
Margarita found it harder and harder to get breath; her lungs were freezing. Her thoughts were rushing in her head. What do I do, she thought, how do I defeat an ice hero? Hero! Margarita managed to smile slightly and turned her head towards the street. There were civillians running around in panic. She saw a lonely young teenage girl looking for someone, probably her parents. Margarita gathered the strength she had left and strong fire surrounded the girl, trapping her. The girl started screaming in horror not able to escape the flames. Froststar saw that and her eyes widened in horror. She tried to shot ice to it but it just kept melting. Margarita looked at her. "Come on Olympian hero, it's your choice. Either kill me and get the girl killed as well or go and save her.". Froststar stared to panic; she couldn't let the villain escape but she couldn't let an innocent person die either. "Yes, Froststar, that's it. Kill me and show the world that Olympus is a corrupted horrible place that doesn't care for anyone. Heroes? Ha! You're nothing but lying hypocrites and the world will know that!".
Froststar knew what Margarita was doing but couldn't take the risks. She left her and ran towards the youg girl saving her from the flames. The ice left Margarita's body and she lied there trying to get air. Her body started emitting heat, warming her enough. She got up pretty pissed off not even thinking that she could have killed someone. All she was thinking about was destroying the Olympian. Margarita slowly walked towards her.

Herbert started listing them off his fingers. "Civilians, other villains and Windman, one of Olympus' greatest threats. Even Omega had help taking him down." He spread his hands. "So, lets both use your ability, try to ground him. Then we try to fight him. If he's in the air then I'm alone. Because, I guess if you try to use the wind to fly, he'll just manipulate it right? We need to get him to our level."

Olem moved over to Aurora and put an arm around her shoulders, in an attempt to comfort her. On the inside however, he was fuming. He was starting to picture a myriad of different ways he could tear Aurora's assailant from this plane. He clenched his fist, and closed his eyes, trying to reduce his anger. "Well, if he is, he's dead" Olem said through gritted teeth.

Taniel watched, shocked as Margarita used a civilian to protect herself from the Olympian. He thought she'd be above doing something so villainous. But she was a villain. So was he. Maybe it was ok if he hurt civilians as well? Taniel shook his head, trying to disperse such thoughts. He dropped off of the roof and flew gently over to where Margarita, landing next to her. He decided against saying anything and so watched her walk back to the Olympian.

Olem may be planning to kill him but Parasite felt great though! He weaved in among the sword blades, his new wings keeping him aloft. It was tiring though and he knew he had to end it. They grappled together, Hawkblade avoiding Thomas punches easily. He sent out a kick and threw Parasite onto one of the Lion statues.
Thomas cried out in pain; if not for his stolen power he'd have been crushed. The Super was on his A game and Thomas couldn't best him in a fight. He was too highly trained. That meant he had to trick him. He'd tried phasing through him but Hawkblade was too quick and dodged all attempts. Damn Reflexes! Thomas had to get some of those.
The Super perched next to him as Thomas came up swinging. He caught his punch and twisted his arm around. Thomas kept his phasing off, waiting for the sword strike that would get him close.
The Hawk drove his sword through Thomas shoulder in an attempt to stop him. Parasite felt the ripping pain but focused on shapeshifting. He transformed that part into a sticky glue like material, wedging the sword and Hawkblades arm. He tried to escape but Thomas used his strength to keep him close and drove a phased hand into his head.
The phasing interrupted with his brain and the supers eyes rolled up into his head. He slumped over and Thomas reverted his body to normal. No sticky skin and no wings. The sword pulled free and Thomas made sure to grab the supers hand to reabsorb his strength. He'd need it to keep upright after that wound and his short burst was running out.
Hawk blade dropped to the bottom of the statue, unconscious.
(OOC: Redeemers go ahead on who I can kill, so no absorption for him yet. Don't want to kill all the NPCs)

The Redeemer appeared next to Thomas, and looked down at Hawkblade. He didn't bother to stop time.
'Well done, Parasite,' he said approvingly. He touched Hawkblade and black metal threads tied him up tightly, binding his limbs to together. The Redeemer disappeared briefly, then reappeared, his captive gone. 'You can leech off him later. I need some information before you kill him,' he told Parasite.
He turned to look through the dispersing crowds at the vigilantes and heroes gathered in the square. 'I think Persephone would appreciate your help,' he noted. He looked to see Herbert and Nathan race to engage Windman, and Aurora and Olem over the fallen villain.
'Or you can take on those two. Your choice,' he said softly. His armour pulsed with purple light along the power lines. It was beginning to rain.

'Good idea,' Nathan agreed. He started using his power, focusing it around Windman, absorbing all the wind around him, and drawing it into Nathan. He could feel Herbert doing the same next to him, and Windman suddenly started dropping from the sky in a semi-controlled flight until he dropped in front of them.
He smiled. 'Nice trick boys. But you're still an old man and a kid.' He cracked his knuckles. 'Bring it.'
Nathan exchanged a 'I hope you know what you're doing' look with Herbert. 'Let's go!'
He rushed Windman, trying to strike his head but the villain blocked it easily and slammed his fist into Nathan's stomach, sending the old pervert stumbling back.

Herbert charged in at the same time, completely forgetting about his multitude of powers because Nathan and he had a whole Nite Owl/Roschach vs. Ozmandias thing going on. He tried to kick at his stomach, but the Super was a practitioner of some martial art which taught fast moves and blocks (OOC: on his bio) so his leg was deflected and Windman pushed a palm into his face, sending Herbert onto his back, before executing a spinning air kick and finishing the stumbling Nathan off, throwing the old man onto his back like Herbert.
He paced around his spot, waiting for the next attack. "So, which heroes are you? I suppose it doesn't matter. They don't make them like Omega anymore, do they?" He mused.

Nathan struggled to his feet. 'At least we know super villains are still made like dickheads.' He pulled up Herbert and they ran at Windman again. Nathan turned invisible and grabbed Windman, but the veteran villain just head butt him, which made the old guy lose his grip. Then he swept his leg out, dropping Nathan to the ground.
Meanwhile, Herbert tried to take advantage of Nathan's grab to punch Windman, but he was too quick. He swept Nathan and turned, executing a flying kick that smashed into Herbert's face, knocking him now.
Nathan rubbed his jaw and he leapt forward, trying to hit Windman whilst he was dealing with Herbert. It was a good kick from Nathan, but Windman just caught it deftly, then quickly blocked Nathan's follow up punches with ease. Nathan roared in anger but Windman just threw up the leg he was holding. Nathan stumbled and Windman finished the old hero's fall with a kick to his stomach.
Nathan groaned, pulling himself up. 'Power time, kid,' he coughed.

Herbert hadn't heard him and went charging in. He threw a few punches at Windman, who dodged around them with ease. Herbert jabbed and Windman blocked, sending a blow back towards Herb. The boy flicked his head back and threw two attacks towards Windman's stomach. The villain blocked one moved into the next, turning his body around it and slamming a fist into Herbert's head. He then proceeded to execute a spinning kick. Herbert managed to duck under it, barely, knowing he was way out of his league but Windman followed the attack with his other foot to the other side, slamming into his other side and throwing Herbert next to Nathan.
Herbert groaned, blood dripping from his lip and one of is eyes swelling up. "Power time," he gasped, holding his side.

'I just wish when we said that we were going to bust out some Captain Omega level powers,' Nathan moaned as he pulled himself up, and dragged Herbert up. He wiped blood from his mouth. 'Okay, no fucking around.'
He turned invisible and Windman's eyes narrowed. Suddenly a blast of stored wind pushed Windman off his feet and Nathan barged into him, throwing him towards Herbert, as the villain stumbled forwards in surprise.
'Now Herbert! Punch the fucker!' Nathan screamed from somewhere behind Windman.

Herbert closed his eyes and turned invisible too, relying on the proximity to Nathan to use the ability without having to trouble himself with recreating the emotions. He stayed back as Windman came towards him and fired off a bolt of electricity, as powerful as he could build up. It blasted Windman off his feet and he howled in pain as it tore at his body.
The villain hit the ground hard, and Herbert made to close in on him. Windman pushed himself up, looking stunned and waved his hand furiously. A huge gust of wind lifted Herbert off his feet and threw him away. Likely the same had happened to Nathan.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!" Windman screamed, furious. He was still recovering from the electrical blast, and wind was building around him as he started to hover. His eyes darted around and he kept a shield of wind around him. He was sending out tendrils of wind that, when they hit something solid, would feed back to him. He would find these Supers...
(OOC: Maybe Nate can absorb the wind when it gets near, as a kind pseudo tactic, and keep hidden but Herb will be caught because he doesn't have that skill.)

Aurora’s attention was drawn to where the Redeemer appeared. Hawkblade was in trouble but there was nothing she could do. She looked at the other Super the Redeemer was talking to. He seemed to be able to phase through things. Was he the one? She subconsciously got closer to Olem. "Olem... I think..." She was going to say that they should get out of there, but a dark smirk came to her face as an inner thirst for revenge was pushing Aurora's thoughts to the side. "I think he's the one." The blue in her eyes were replaced with black as she watched Thomas. "I remember he mentioned the Redeemer. And there stands a man who phases and stands by the Redeemer’s side..."
