~When Heroes Fall~-
Β Introduction
The Justice League.Β
Guardians of this world, keepers of peace.
Heroes.
They were a beacon of hope to everyone, and believe me when I say that Earth needed them. With so many crazed super villains and a surprising amount of aliens attacks, the world needed the Justice Leauge, and we had them, for years. They became a stable in our world. They even had their own merchandise. The Justice Leauge became such an integrated part of our world, that we could hardly imagine what we did without them.
Then we didnβt have to imagine, because they were gone.Β
It happened in a fight, they were attacking a ship of alien invaders and then poof, in a burst of light, they were gone. Gone, without a trace, without a clue as to what happened to them. They were just... gone.
That was two years ago, and now, our world is left without the Justice League. Without keepers of peace and guardians of Earth, our world is left without heroes. Perhaps we shouldnβt have gotten so used to our cozy, protected life with the Justice Leauge watching over us.Β Maybe we should have been more alert. Because no hero will stand forever.
And when heroes fall, the world falls with it, and weβre left powerless.Β
Or are we?
Maybe itβs time for new heroes to step up, to be a new beacon of light and hope for the world. For when the old will fall, new heroes will rise.
Thats why weβre here. Iβm Gadget, and Iβm one of a new generation of heroes that have been popping up all around the world. We might not be the Justice Leauge, and I may not actually know any of them personally... But I know that they are heroes, we all are. And maybe, just, maybe, it's time for a new Justice Leauge, and with the help of my cousin and others, weβre going to make that possible. The only question now is...
Are you up for the task?Β
About
Hello there everyone, and welcome to: When Heroes Rise. This is a role-play set in the DC comic world, where the Justice League has vanished and after two years, a group of new heroes arise and unite together to form their own makeshift Justice League.Β It started out as just a way to protect the world, but what really united them is when the Dominators came back. This time, the Dominators areΒ working with a new, dangerous ally. And this new Justice League will really have to step up, work together, and find a way to beat the Dominators. There will be no canon characters in this role-play, only Original characters, but mentioning canon characters is obviously, welcomed, as itβs impossible not to mention some of them.

Rules
WE all hate them, but we need them. β Roleplaying No power-play, god-modding, Mary Sues, or anything of the sorts. No one wants perfect characters and any of those things will not be tolerated. We also ask that you keep everything PG-PG13, as anything over that, does not belong on the forums.
β OOC Things On that topic, no bullying out of character, okay? Please, it's down right wrong. And no drama or fighting outside the role-play. Take that else where, please. I don't want this deleted because of petty fighting. In character drama is, of course, welcomed so long as it doesnβt leak outside.
β Literacy We expect three lines, minimum. The size of a small paragraph, as anything smaller than that is hard to reply to. More, of course, would be nice and is always welcome. No little one word or three word replies. It doesn't have to be in subs. But if the person you are role-playing doesn't give you much to work with that's fine. (For the password, please let us know who your favorite superhero is, in the βotherβ section.) On that also, no text talk also, please, unless you have to get off very quickly. Like gtg, BBL, BRB and so on. Also when you're talking try and separate your chat from your role-playing.
β Activity Another biggie. Weβve all seen many role-plays that fail, due to inactivity, even though most have a very good idea. But they just don't work because the members aren't active. Itβs a shame and we donβt want that to happen here. However, we know that everyone has lives, so all that we ask is that you get on and roleplay once a week at the very least, and inform us if youβll be absent. If youβre not on for two weeks, without warning, you will be deleted.
β Characters Please try and keep the genders even. If itβs a little off the mark, thatβs fine. But we donβt want someone to have 4 girls and no boys. Now, along the lines of characters, I know that there are a lot of fun powers and abilities you can give your characters here. However we donβt want any over powered characters. Please give them weaknesses and flaws. Over all, just make them realistic.
β Extras in case more rules are needed.
β
Powers
Since this will be for the most part , a small group role-play, we ask that you come up with different powers for your characters. Meaning for the most part, you shouldn't have the exact same set of powers for your character as a fellow role-player's. The only exceptions are super strength.
Majors powers that have been taken Super speed Technopath Control of the elements
Joining Please copy and paste the form exactly as formatted. If you are adding a chacter who is not a hero/villain, but is in the background to support them please change the color of the name to match the allegiance. A techie for the hero would be blue. And tech for the villains would be yellow. It may be easier to quote the post and then copy the form.
First and last name and then personality, description, and history, {though history is optional} in paragraph format. Then in a separate paragraph please describe your character in hero/villain mode. || Age of character|| Other || What side you are on? Yellow for villians and Blue for Hero and white for Neutral/Civilian || Alias || Screen name

~When Heroes Rise~-
Characters
Casper Tucker is around average height, standing at 5β10, nothing too impressive, but he isnβt short either. He has a sturdy, lanky builde, lightly tanned skin thatβs covered in freckles, cornflower blue eyes, and dirt blond hair thats quite messy, and probably styled that way too. He has a very farm boy air to him, even if he lives in a simple apartment in Central city instead of at the farm like he used to. Casper dresses a bit more fashionably than his cousin, but not by much, and will often be seen wearing flannel shirts, a long coat, and some ridiculous tie. Basically, if you ever need fashion advice, donβt go to the Tuckers. Itβs just a bad idea. Now, as far as personality goes, Casper can be considered a bit of a grump. Heβs easily annoyed and constantly worried for his familyβs wellbeing, especially his cousin: Dotty, who he has always been rather close to, which is probably why she came to him first about her secret, and though she keeps on telling more of her trusted family members, Casper is the only one that sets out to help her with her hero-ing. Heβs also extremely smart, working alongside Dotty and his father at GATES Lab, working mostly in computers and engineering, and such. Heβs got witty, dry sense of humor and though does everything he can to help, heβs going to do it with a grumble and a snarky remark. All the same, heβs very protective and caring when needs be, and is probably internally, stressing out about everything and anything while he tries to keep that under wraps. Heβs also used to having very little time to himself, as he is often looking after his cousin. The one that seems determined to get in situations she does not know how to handle. Which basically means, he has no life outside of his family, itβs actually a little sad. Casper lived a pretty similar childhood to Dotty, the only difference being he didnβt let others push him around. He got a job at a young age, and though heβs never had time for romance, he has been a little envious of those that have. Once Dotty got her powers, he was the first to know, and has been with her every step of the way, trying to make sure she doesnβt die, while constantly shaking his head at all the antics she finds herself in. || 26 years|| Dotty is his cousin || Tech support || None || πβππ π£π Dorothy βDottyβ Tucker Dorothy βDottyβ Tucker is a rather typical looking girl. She has light honey blonde, shoulder length hair that is neither straight nor wavy, more like this mix of both and a slight twinge of a curl to it. Her hair is thick and bouncy, very fitting for the girl who wears it, actually. Now, her eyes arenβt anything exciting either, theyβre a cornflower blue, that are perhaps, a bit more bright than usual. Along with this, her skin is a fair, pale color, that freckles easier than it tans, which it has, as her face is lightly dusted in freckles from her nose and across her cheeks. She also has freckles on her shoulders and sides of her neck, but those arenβt quite as noticeable as the ones on her face. Dotty has a rather simple figure as well, a little scrawny, but not horribly skinny, with a heart shaped face, ears that stick out, and somewhat big feet for someone thatβs only 5β2. Along with this, she also needs glasses, and has a pair of simple, blue ones perched up on her nose, that really help her eye color stand out. Dotty isnβt exactly the most fashionable person out there, and can often be found wearing a button up shirt with a vest over it, jeans, and a pair of boots. Either that, or sheβll be in sweats and or some sort of Fandom related shirt. As far as personality goes, Dottyβs a pretty happy-go-lucky, extremely naive and innocent girl who likes to crack jokes, eat ice cream, and has made it her own personal mission to befriend every animal she meets, no matter what. Sheβs a bit introverted and would prefer to have fun playing board games or reading a book, than going out to sing Karaoke, but sheβs pretty flexible. Dotty is a bit of a stick in the mud with certain things though, and as she has always been an avid reader of comic books, loving the idea of superheroes despite their obvious cliches, she is the type to flat out mention when something seems a bit cheesy or cliche. She tends to point out flaws in a lot of different things, and is constantly questioning the female superheroβs outfit of choice. (That just canβt be practical to show that much skin, what if you get shot???) Dotty is also very smart, working as a robot engineer for another lab that her family has been apart of for years, called: GATES, which is mainly positioned in Keystone City. Dotty tends to mother anyone around her as well, and is constantly looking out for their well beings. Yet sheβs a little hypocritical with this, considering Dotty is terrible at taking care of herself, often going days without sleeping, and surviving mostly off of pop tarts. This is exactly the reason why she doesnβt have a pet...or a plant, because sheβs worried she would forget to take care of it. Dotty is also extremely stubborn and doesnβt back down, sheβs the type that has been pushed around her whole life and is done with it to the point she takes no crap from anyone anymore, and will tell it how it is...in hopefully the nicest way possible, because she doesnβt want to hurt anyoneβs feelings, of course. Sheβs a huge geek, enjoying almost anything typically nerdy that you can think of, and although it does take her a little while to open up to others, once she does, sheβs an open book, with a nearly always happy personality and enough bad jokes to last a lifetime. Dotty has a rather tame history...surprisingly tame, most superheroes are supposed to have a tragic backstory right? Well, this one doesnβt. She grew up in the farmlands of Keystone City with her parents happily married, and family mostly happy. She still has both sets of grandparents alive as well. Like seriously, this girl has had a disturbing lack of tragedy in her life. She got pushed around a bit in school, but that wasnβt anything scarring, more like, typical kid struggles. She even got a job fairly easy, as her uncle was the head scientist at GATES Labratory and was more than happy to take her on. Sheβs lived a happy life, things have just been easy for her, almost too easy, maybe she should be a bit more on edge. The only really bad thing to happen to her, was when an explosion happened at her work. During that time, she and her twin sister Danny, were working in GATES Lab, the explosion shook the other lab to its core, and the two Tucker twins were knocked unconscious for four days. But even that didnβt end up being the worst possible thing, at least not for Dotty. See, that very explosion had take a few months to truly affect her, but once it had, she discovered something amazing, well, basically, she found out that she had superpowers, and even though Danny had left once she had awoken, off to find employment somewhere else, Dotty had been more than happy to stay in the Keystone and Central area as she discovered more and more about her powers. It started out as just fun and games for her, as she practiced her abilities and created new things, but after accidentally stopping a few muggers in her first version of her suit. (All of which was caught on camera.) Word got around of this hero from Keystone. So, Dotty rolled with it, believing it would be fun. Besides, she could handle a few muggers, she even got to dub her own superhero name, after stopping a robbery, and being asked by a reporter who she was, Dotty(in costume, of course) looked right at the camera and introduced herself as βGadgetβ and since then, the name has stuck.
Speaking of which, letβs get to that next. Dottyβs powers, summed down and simplified to the basics, are that of a Technopath. Which means she can create and control technology with ease. But thatβs hardly brushing the surface of it. Dottyβs powers include being able to take limited metals and parts and creating almost anything imaginable out of it, multiplying and duplicating the parts until she has enough. She can hack into any computer system and is immune to technology based brainwashing or mind reading. She uses her power to create many different things, some of which include handy gadgets to help her get out of situations, a surfboard type thing that helps her fly through the air. (Think: Silver Surfer), robotic armor for her suit that makes it looks like nothing, but keeping her protected(among other things) and robot companions to help with fighting crime, housework, and making sure Dotty takes care of herself. Now, while this all sounds great, it does come with a cost. Dotty hasnβt quite gotten a hold of her powers yet and if she isnβt focused, or if sheβs weak, her inventions will crumble before her very eyes, her technology is not unhackable, and can be used against her, and she has to have some sort of base metal and parts for her to be able to create anything. The bigger or more advanced the things she creates are, the more energy it zaps from her, and leaves her more vulnerable to attack. Now, while weβve covered about everything with her, there is a bit left. Such as her suit. It started out as some really simple blue clothes that she bought from the nearest Walmart, however as she got out there more, she wanted to improve on it, and so now she has a thinly armored blue shirt thatβs both zipped and buttoned up, with a darker blue(tinted gray) armor to cover her arms, shoulder, and neck. She has similarly armored pants, a gray pelt with a bunch of different pockets, and gray, knee high boots that are trimmed blue. She also has a few more pockets hidden all over her outfit, gray, elbow length gloves, and a blue and gray mask like goggles(she still needs to see somehow) that covers her eyes, and forehead. She usually uses a type of surfboard she invented to fly around(Though to be fair, sheβs still getting used to it and has crashed in multiple trees due to her natural clumsiness.), and she also has a little, floating, round robot thatβs covered in spots that was both the first thing she made (on accident as well) and her constant companion, which she has named Spots, because Dotty is quite possibly, not the best at naming things. || 25 years old|| Casper is her cousin. || Hero || Gadget || πβππ π£π
Spyro/Harrington Zairt is a tall, human looking man. He stands at 6β1, with a lean but sturdy build, sunkissed skin with a few freckles, dark brown hair that is often slicked back, with startling blue eyes. However, despite his normal human appearance, there is something about him that makes him seem something a little bit more than human, that is because he isnβt human, not by a long shot. Heβs actually something called an Equinix, the last of his kind from an ancient, slow aging alien species from the other side of the galaxy. He can shape shift between his normal form, which is actually an elongated, tall, purple being with a large skull, black large eyes, and an over all eerie look to him, and to his human form, which he has taken after being stranded on earth many years ago. During that time, he has been able to gather a good knowledge of humans to realize that they are not worth saving, and instead has put his efforts into aiding the Dominators, to end humanity. Harry, as he is called as a human, is not what one might expect from a villain. Heβs surprisingly compassionate, very proper and precise, never missing a beat and very intelligent, he appears quite nice and almost naive to a point, however heβs actually quite manipulative and far more devious than he lets on.
The Mastermind, in his villain outfit, is in his alien form, dressed in a dark blue cape and clothes, his ability to shift from this form to his human form has allowed him to have an amazing secret identity that has a very unlikely chance of anyone figuring it out. His powers come from him being an alien, he has mind reading powers, gravity shifting abilities, and can control minds if heβs close enough to someone. He also has some magical abilities and doesnβt seem to have many weaknesses, at least, not known ones. Along with this, he is also stronger than usual and has a far above average intelligence, a formidable foe for anyone. || 576 (looks in his mid twenties) || other || Yellow Villain || Mastermind || πβππ π£π
Katherine Brooks is five feet eight inches tall. Kate is lithe and strong, her build is like that of a long distance runner, but not quite as muscular. Bright hazel eyes that are almost green with an olive skin tone and dirty blond, almost mouse brown curly hair that ended about two inches below her shoulders. Her hair often frizzes out of control. Sheβs kind, clumsy, introverted and extroverted, and smart. While Kate has a strong moral compass, she sometimes lets her emotions get the best of her which often can cause sticky incidences. Even though the woman can be independent, sheβs a team player at heart and does what she thinks is best. Which often leaves her at odds with her heart, head and the people she trusts. She has a strong moral obligation to protect what she believes in. She is an engineer who is finishing up her degree and is working. She will desperately try and keep her two lives separate. She just moved to this city to get away from her last home to think and reevaluate where she wants to go and be from here. As she just recently received her powers from a recent accident, and so she is shaky and is trying to figure out the whole double life thing and her powers. Sheβs the type of girl to have a team behind her, and not much of a loner when it comes to being a superhero. That being said, being so soon after her receiving her powers, she is far from understanding her powers and far from the fastest she can be. She has super speed and everything associated with that, meaning numerous secondary applications, faster-than-normal healing from injuries, speed-reading, generate cyclones by spinning her arms quickly, throwing lightning bolts from the electricity she produces from running. As she becomes more confident and trains more, her speed and abilities from those listed above will come into being and increase. As she is still just a plain old human, she still has most of the weakness that a human would have. If you punch her enough she will either become unconscious or die. If she is caught off guard and doesnβt catch a bullet, she can die. If you find a fancy way of taking her speed away, sheβs a normal human without accelerated healing or anything. Lack of Gravity and lack of Friction also are her downfalls, if you get her cold enough, like absolute zero cold, she wonβt be able to accelerate her molecules which prevents her from generating kinetic energy, causing her to slow down. One bad thing about having super speed, if she doesnβt eat around 10,000 calories a day, she will faint, not that sheβs figured that out yet. As Breakneck, she wears a toned down royal blue skin tight two piece suit with matching blue gloves and belt, with red accents and yellow lightning bolt outlined in red. Itβs made of a special fabric to reduce friction and heat from her speed and move with her. There are red outlined lightning bolt running between the elbow and the arm pits of the suit and on the belt, one on each arm. Then there is another one on each side, from the smallest part of her waist to about her knee which lines up with the two on her belt. There is a blue cowl which hides her identity that she can pull off of her face and head since it also covers her hair and most of her head.

Carter Stewart is a man of a somewhat normal height, being five feet nine inches tall. He has mouse brown hair that stops a little bit above his shoulders with a slightly darker olive skin tone, but still white skin. He has slightly broad shoulders. Heβs not all that fit, he tries to stay in shape, but given all the late nights and all the sugary things he eats and drinks all the coffee, it doesnβt quite work out. He did do sports in high school; however that effect has worn off long ago. But he does his best to work out and he does have a half-way decent physique. Carter has light hazel eyes. Carter is kind, caring, intelligent, and a laid-back young man, who often at first glance seems unable to take things seriously. However, he has often proven to be surprisingly focused when it comes to helping people and getting stuff done. It's not apparent that Carter is a nerd and a geek in a few ways. He has a love of sci-fi, advanced technology, and pop culture, and is very excited to see such concepts made real for him. Yet, he also likes sports and tries to stay in shape. Which doesnβt work out well sometimes. He has great pride about his tech to the point of being extremely protective of it when something becomes damaged or destroyed or even dirtied. Carter is also a very careful planner. He loves the family that heβs got, which consists of his mother and father, and hence he is very protective of them. Depending on the cause of someone, or something hurting either him or his family or both, heβs not afraid to fight back in the appropriate manner. In a sense, he is a normal human being who just happens to be a genius. That being said, if you gave him the money, the time and the resources, he could build just about anything you wanted or needed. He helps Kate by doing techie stuff behind the scenes, directing Kate to where sheβs needed. He knows and is friends with Kate through the lab from which they both worked at. Heβs moved down here to convince Kate to become a hero and to do that heβs helping to start a tech start up. He earned a Mechanical engineering degree. |He loves tinkering with stuff and learning. || 26 years || Civilian and tech support|| Silverfall
August Rietveld is tall and broad-shouldered, standing at well over six feet in height. Despite his imposing figure, he's incredibly flexible and light on his feet - abilities that he relies on heavily during combat. He has thick, dark hair that he keeps just short enough to stay out of his eyes, out of his way. He's very fit, but that's more due to physical exercise than any sort of training. He is very active and loved sports as a child. His idea of blowing off steam is pushing his limits in a gym or on a track. That being said, he's not abnormally muscular, though he is naturally very strong. He has sun-kissed skin and a face full of freckles, but you can only see them when you're up close. His eyes are blue, though the shade is so dark you can hardly tell. His thick, sharp eyebrows and a strong jawline add to his boyish, masculine appearance. He has several crooked fingers on his left hand from breaking them when he was younger, but thankfully he's right-handed, so he doesn't pay too much attention to it.
August is lighthearted and free-spirited. He's very friendly, the type to smile first at strangers. He's outwardly extremely outgoing, though inwardly he appreciates time alone. Though it may not seem obvious, part of the reason he forces himself to be more extroverted is due to his home life. It's not necessarily bad, per se - he has a mother that loves him dearly and would give him the world. His father, however, never quite looked at him the same after he came out as bisexual. He's never been abusive, but tends to be neglectful, and very obviously prefers August's older, non-powered brother, Austin. August has never regretted his coming out, though, and lives freer because of it. August is as reckless as they come, hence the broken fingers, and never backs down from a challenge. He's optimistic and tends to see the good in people first. People assume, based on his stature and good looks, that August would be your typical aggressive alpha male, but that is definitely not the case. He has a weakness for small, cute things, and has the kind of laugh that makes the sun seem to shine a little brighter. He's definitely a good person to have around during a hard time. However, he doesn't process grief well, and can tend to break under pressure. During those times, his introvert side rears its head, and he prefers to be alone. It's hard to make him angry, but if you manage it, he forgoes yelling or arguing and goes straight to ignoring, as he likes to avoid confrontation when it concerns himself.
August's powers gives him limited control over the four elements: earth, fire, water, and air. He is far more comfortable using water, as the calm nature of the element fits best with his personality. Each element invokes a certain emotion: using fire too much makes him abnormally irritable, earth makes him shaky and easily exhausted, and air causes him to become very dizzy (he passed out numerous times when he was just learning his limits) if overused. Water is the only one he's mastered. He can control it minutely and on an incredibly large scale, along with ice, and most other liquids (at least the ones that contain water). His fire abilities are limited to making small flames and raising an objects temperature within a twenty degree zone. Earth can come in very weak earthquakes (these are sometimes unintentional when he feels a strong emotion) or the manipulation of small rocks or plants, and air allows him to lift himself a few inches off the ground, as well as create a soft breeze or gust of wind.
In hero mode, August wears a full suit of kevlar with very light layers of armor. The suit is mostly black, though there are shades of dark gray carved into his shoulders, stomach, and hips to create a sleeker look. On his back, symbols of the four elements are emblazoned down his spine, in order from top to bottom of water, earth, fire, and air. Around his waist are several pouches, one of which containing several vials of water in case there is none in the vicinity, a pouch full of small pebbles, and a lighter. He is normally able to generate most of these elements on his own, but if he's weak or injured, it's much easier to have some on him already. Lastly, a sleek black mask covers his nose and eyes. || 22 || Hero || Elemental || parkprot

It's hard to make him angry, but if you manage it, he forgoes yelling or arguing and goes straight to ignoring, as he likes to avoid confrontation when it concerns himself.
August's powers gives him limited control over the four elements: earth, fire, water, and air. He is far more comfortable using water, as the calm nature of the element fits best with his personality. Each element invokes a certain emotion: using fire too much makes him abnormally irritable, earth makes him shaky and easily exhausted, and air causes him to become very dizzy (he passed out numerous times when he was just learning his limits) if overused. Water is the only one he's mastered. He can control it minutely and on an incredibly large scale, along with ice, and most other liquids (at least the ones that contain water). His fire abilities are limited to making small flames and raising an objects temperature within a twenty degree zone. Earth can come in very weak earthquakes (these are sometimes unintentional when he feels a strong emotion) or the manipulation of small rocks or plants, and air allows him to lift himself a few inches off the ground, as well as create a soft breeze or gust of wind.
In hero mode, August wears a full suit of kevlar with very light layers of armor. The suit is mostly black, though there are shades of dark gray carved into his shoulders, stomach, and hips to create a sleeker look. On his back, symbols of the four elements are emblazoned down his spine, in order from top to bottom of water, earth, fire, and air. Around his waist are several pouches, one of which containing several vials of water in case there is none in the vicinity, a pouch full of small pebbles, and a lighter. He is normally able to generate most of these elements on his own, but if he's weak or injured, it's much easier to have some on him already. Lastly, a sleek black mask covers his nose and eyes. || 22 || will i get kicked out of the dc rp if i say spiderman || Hero || Elemental || parkprot

OOC We could start with them meeting? Dotty is going around to talk to other heroes, so we could work with that? Or they could meet on accident?

(I think it might be fun for them to meet once Kate cleaned up a situation when Dotty comes to the scene.)

OOC Works for me, so Dotty comes in after Kate took care of the situation? Sounds fun, for recruitment, or because she was gonna deal with the situation originally?
Also, would you mind starting?

(Because Dotty is slower than Kate. Sorry about the short posts. I'm pretty tired.)
Kate sighed, looking around. Bringing a hand up to her ear, "Car, I've got the guy. Well, I should say the police do."
"Got it. Also, from the looks of it, it seems that you have company, can't tell who it is, definitely a meta though." Carter replied. "Be careful out there."

IC Okay, Dotty just had to say, that she had been in a whole other city, and had needed a change of clothes, as she had been enjoying a nice coffee break at work when she got the alarm that there had been a robbery, so, her and Casper had gone to work. Casper ducked down to the βstorage roomβ in GATES lab, and Dotty...well, as Dotty liked to say, she heroed up. Which is basically to say, she put on some blue clothes and a mask, and jumped on her board and made her way to the neighboring city as fast as she could.
Gadget, as she was called in costume, had been a hero for about a year now, and as one of the first...the first, hero t resurface, it wasnβt like she was unknown. The only problem with that, was that it was extremely stressful. More heroes had been popping up lately, and Dotty had already decided that she could not do this all by herself.
That, of course, wasnβt important to the situation at hand, which was the need to get rid of a certain burglar and turn them in to the police.
As soon as she got to the crime scene, Dotty landed, a bit clumsily, and let her surfboard crumble into a few small pieces of metal, which she quickly collected by calling them to her, and sticking them in a pocket. βAlright Cas, Iβm here, what am I looking at here?β She asked, bringing her hand up to tap on the ear piece she had.
βOne caught bank robber, and a speedster around the corner. Looks like you were a little slow there, Gadget.β
Dottyβs eyes widened slightly, she had been beat to the fight, which was fine by her, but what was more curious was that a speedster had beaten her to the punch. Her mind immediately went to the first speedster that she could think of, however she quickly vanquished that thought from her head. He was gone, along with the rest of them. But then...who?
She turned the corner and spotted the speedster that Cas was talking about. She stood there for a moment, before clearing her throat. βUh, hi there,β she greeted with a small wave.

Kate of course had been watching the woman nearly crash land. Her hand was still up by her ear. "I see her coming in and she nearly crashed landed. It's that technopath Carter. She's coming over to me and I'll go talk to her. And that was not graceful by means any means. Listen in to hear what goes on."
"Yea. Don't forget that I installed a camera on your suit. It's not the best but at least I can see what happens." Carter gruffed out in laugher. "I see her now. Be careful out there." Carter replied.
Kate chuckled both at Carter's words and Dottie's funky landing/crash landing attempt. " Hey there, nice crash-landing. Finally meeting you in person doesn't seem so impressive after that crash landing attempt. Or was that just a landing that went weird?" Kate had a slight smirk, with her arms crossed over her chest. She seemed to be a little overconfident, but that was just covering her nerves like always. Kate had been working on a persona for her superhero side as long as she had been a superhero which have been a little over a year. She started just before the Flash disappeared along with the rest of the Justice League.

IC Dotty laughed slightly, casting a glance back to where she had landed. βAh well, let me tell you, landing that thing is not as easy as it looks,β she explained, looking back to the other girl, and after a moment, she smiled. βI heard you caught the bad guy, nice. Iβm Gadget. Youβre that new speedster, Breakneck, right? Kind of a brutal name, but hey, I donβt judge,β she said, shrugging back her shoulders. βIβve heard about you, itβs nice to finally put a face to the name.β

OOC Itβs totally okay, we have Dotty and Kate talking right now, after Kate took care of a bank robbery in Central city (I think), if you wanna jump in there, if not, Iβve got Cas open to a point, and Spyro/Harry too, but heβs my main villain character and wouldnβt be doing anything βevilβ right now.
