(I have Jason Todd open. I think that is the only character I have currently. Hes hanging out at Wayne manor.)
Finni chuckled softly "my powers are impressive is I suppose...its also quite taxing...my energy generally runs pretty low in battle.." he quieted a bit, looking at the food "and having lived multiple lives all the memories and relationships..." he shook his head. clearing away those thoughts. "Well...mustn't dwell on that now, hm?" he smiled brightly "And I am sure the league didn't just pick you to keep you from the streets. They typically only pick people they really see something in." He smiled tenderly at Bubbles "They don't pity invite others into our special team."
Lucy looked up at him and held up her hand, holding him motionless as well, muttering quickly under her breath, she was weakening quickly though, he face flushed with the effort of holding both of them immobile. "Now now, don't make rash decisions boys. You are messing with my business after all." she released Lupin, sucking his breath away for the moment as he regained his own functioning.
Lupin gasped and wretched softly, changing back to his rightful human form. His body felt like it had been stabbed by needles all over. It was extremely painful. "Y-You witch..." he gased softly and shivered, drained of his energy, having been tired from the take down of the men and shifting before hand as well.
"Rude." Lucy narrowed her eyes and sent him flying into the water, before turning her eyes on Finnick again. "Now...why are you messing with my shipment?!"

Finnick grunted as he was caught by the spell. It was a curious feeling, especially when he realized this, too, prevented his teleportation. When she released Lupin, he tried to speak. "G-go!" He barely managed. He could only hope Lupin's animalistic hearing would pick it up, or that he didn't have a large heroic complex. It would be inefficient to get both of them caught and killed. This was in vain, though, because he was being hurled into the murky water. Once he felt he was able to breathe normally, Finn spoke to Lucy with a sly smile. "You know why," he said through clenched teeth. "Revenge."

Lucy gave a false sympathetic smile, very patronizing. She walked over and patted his cheek softly. "Aw. that so cute." she cooed "surely you have heard though, revenge is a dish best served cold? so why don't we freeze this heist right here. I'll let you go, you'll walk away and not come back? hm?" she tightened her grip a bit, holding him but also straining her own power. To be completely honest this was not the best night for her, she was sick with the cold that had been sweeping around her school, and she was already tired anyway and her powers always drained her. "If not, Walter and Daniel will see you out and to a hospital. You and your friend." She nodded and two larger than average buff guys stepped out of the shadows, one of the holding a fairly unconscious looking Lupin by the collar of his jacket. "What'll it be kiddo?" Lucy smirked and waited for an answer.

Carter nodded to Athena. "Yeah, I'd like that" she grinned "But you should go, I really wouldn't want to make you late for anything." She smiled "You should go meet up with your mom." She nodded and picked up her back, standing more solidly on her ankle, that she had been favoring a bit since the fall. She didn't say so of course, but she though Athena was very lucky. Going to do anything with a mother sounded like Fun to Carter...of course she wouldn't know because she didn't really have a mom, or a mother figure even Unless one counted the scientists or genomorphs of Cadmus, but she really didn't. She didn't even have a female gene donor, so what would Carter know of female companionship...or any companionship for that matter...she continued to smiled though, not letting anything show through her emotion mask. Athena smiled at her. "If you're really sure..." She then turned to start leaving once more, waving over her shoulder to Carter. "See you later!" She then jogged around the corner. She hoped her mother wasn't too mad at her. Then again, having a daughter that goes through puberty twice has to be a huge headache. She shook her head and quickly slipped into the booth that served as the zeta tube. A scanner went over her body before speaking in a computerized voice, "Elemental, 2-7." With that, she vanished in a flash of light. She then appeared in one of the Mount Justice tubes and walked out of it. She needed to change.

(So I was doing a bit of research, and found out that Topeka, Kansas was completely wiped out in the DC universe. Holy sh*t! But that's not a bad point to start at.)
The Paragon suit was acting up today. Nothing to crazy, and nothing that was out of Mina's range of hands-on fixing, but it was enough that she was forced to limit her flying for this excursion. She was heading to Topeka, Kansas. The town had been wiped away by an alien attack in 2001, and only now seemed to be gaining footing. Though, her sources told her that was due to a competing company, named Lexcorp, moving in and turn the citizens into a personal slave force in their factories. Or so to speak. Small wages, bad housing, it all seemed bad, but Ms Renata knew that it wasn't Lex Luthor running this operation personally- the man in charge was an old friend of her father's. She landed outside an office building, and as people saw her suit, they ran in fear. The name "Paragon" had been given to her suit, as it was a 'paragon of home engineering' one reporter said, but even though the name stuck, her actions have been called the polar opposite. People feared her due to her impartial nature towards civilian casualties, and last week an entire city block had been leveled in Star City during a confrontation with Green Arrow.
She'd get in, quick and efficient, as her motto was. Kill the man in charge, maybe some of his lackeys, and let the people decide what to do. If they put themselves back into indentured servitude quickly after, well, she tried!
Mina was sure someone was calling the police about her arrival here already, and heroes would arrive shortly. Maybe that Young Justice group. Heh, that'd be fun. Teach them a thing or two about fighting. Then, as security for Lexcorp began yelling at her to hold her position, she started to open fire with wrist rockets and wrist-mounted SMGs. "Better hurry up, heroes." She whispered to herself, grinning under her helmet.

Finni took a bite of his eggs and waffles, and savored them for a moment while also contemplating what Bubbles had said, swallowing before he answered. "you can trust me, I have seen how the team operates, so no reason to doubt." He tilted his head to the side a bit. "If you wouldn't my asking...what are your powers?" He asked out of curiosity. He had forgotten to ask when they had been introducing themselves. He Then looked toward the zeta tube entrance, having heard Athena Zeta in "Speaking of the team..." he smiled "someone else just got here."
Carter had waved as Athena disappeared, before she headed back to her little apartment and put on her suit, mask and red hooded cape. After she was ready she turned on the news for Gotham and the surrounding area, looking for a place to do some vigilante, hero work. She sighed as the news reported nothing other than the run of mill crime. She didn't need to be there for petty crimes...she flipped the channel to the surrounding areas and an attack on Lexcorp property peeked her interest. She grinned and walked out, climbing onto her motorcycle and taking off.

Athena started to head for her room, wishing she wasn't stuck like this. Living all these years over again was going to drive her insane. She headed for her room to drop off her things and switch into her costume. She had a mother to get to for a patrol. She looked over and spotted Finni and Bubbles. She gave them a wave and smile, before continuing on. She was supposed to be team leader. She wasn't Aqualad, or Nightwing, she didn't understand why she'd been placed in this position. Sure she had ten years extra experience, but that didn't mean she was leader material.

It only took another few minutes of destruction before Mina had reached the 52nd floor. With the ding of the elevator, she strolled out into a short volley of bullets from the men down the hall. However, upon one of their colleagues falling to a ricocheted bullet, they all stepped aside from the doorway. A man carried in an RPG-7, most recognizable and cost-effective rocket launcher to date. Even in so many years, a cheaper one at the same power had not been invented. As the man prepared to fire, Mina thought to herself about perhaps getting about inventing said rocket launcher- black market dealers would sell their firstborns for something like that. Then she began to run at them. The man fired, and Mina raised her arm to block. The explosion wiped out all windows and blew many of the men off their feet. However, as they rose back up, they looked at the cloud of smoke that filled out the hole in the skyscraper's wall, where Mina was. Had it hit? And just like that, Mina jumped from the smoke and fray, using the rocket booster in her left foot to propel herself up to the cieling. When she landed, it was fist-first into a man, with enough force to plant the man's torso firmly into the floor. Immediately she activated the boosters again as the men attempted to escape. She tumbled into one, knocking him down, and spun midair to clip another in the head with her heel. She landed and spun again, her gauntleted fist firmly planting a blow upon the final guard's collarbone with enough force to knock him all the way back to the elevator. Mina took a deep breath, glancing around at her handiwork. All unconscious or concussed severely. Good. Now she could move on to the fun part. "Mister Fray! It's your favorite friend, Paragon! I'm here to talk to you about civil rights, and the lack thereof in your city?" She called sweetly through the closed door. When he didn't answer, she knocked again. Still no answer. "Well, I tried." She muttered. Mina brought her fist back, and slammed it through the door, shattering it. The man was cowering against his desk, gun pointed at her. Again, she giggled all cute-like. "Mister Fray, I'm afraid you're more likely to hurt yourself with that weapon than anyone else. Come on now." And she began to advance on him. He opened fire, bullets bouncing off and littering the room dangerously. Oh, he's a fighter. This'll be fun.

Lucy smirked and waited for an answer. Finn looked at the useless form of Lupin with a resigned look. He could tell she was weakening, even in the poor darkness. Her voice had a faint tone to it, which could have been the cold, but he assumed it was a side effect of her becoming weaker. "You know you can't take me, is that it?" Finn taunted. "In fact, my mentor's gonna show up any minute." This lie was very clearly a threat, one that wouldn't be held to the standard Finnick would hope for. It was a bluff, sure, but a hero? Surely this would have some effect on Lucy. "So how about you let me and my friend go, and I won't send you to the hospital." At this, he gave a toothy grin.

Finni waved at Athena and then looked back at Bubbles and smiled "That is Athena. She's the leader of the team." He tilted his head as he watched after Athena momentarily "and it looks like shes in a hurry. She tends to patrol with the other heroes when we don't have missions." He explained and grinned at Bubbles. "and your powers sound amazing too you know. Storms are powerful forces of nature. Controlling them sounds impressive." (lol I was just thinking that Athena is kinda miffed that she has to relive her teen years, but Finni has been doing that over and over for eons XD it just seemed a bit funny to me)
Carter continued on her way to the attack on lexcorp, pulling to a stop once she reached the building. The motorcycle she'd stolen from the Cadmus labs was definitely faster than average, which suited her just fine. It had been built to keep somewhat pace with the Flash(es) after all. She sighed and fired a grappling hook up to the upper levels, that seemed to be smoking. Once inside she started evacuating the civilians she could find, who were still alive. She systematically followed the path of destroyed building and destruction toward where Paragon had stopped. Stealthily she scoped out the situation, trying to figure out what exactly was going on here.
"Oh Honey.." Lucy smirked. "I could wipe you off the earth, like a bug from a windshield. before anyone would know what happened" She paused, gathering her strength and composure "But I am a lady...and ladies don't get their hands dirty." she looked to Walter and Daniel "Especially not when they can pay for someone else to do it for them." She nodded to them and Walter Circled around to grab Finnick's arms in a crushing grip. She then let the spell drop, releasing Finnick from the immobilization. With a deep breath she began to chant, using the rest of her strength to transport the shipment to a safe location.
Lupin groaned groggily, still in much pain from the after effects of the spell and exhaustion from before as well. "l-lets just go...s-shes a witch..." he winced as Daniel gripped him tighter, leaving bruises.

By the time Carter had arrived, Paragon was beating the man in charge into submission against his desk, laughing maniacally. Teeth and blood were scattered around the office, the obvious aftermath of Paragon's 'visit.' She then tossed him around towards the door, intent on seeing him struggle to crawl away, but that brought her scanners online, sensing Carter. She stopped and raised her right arm, the missiles readying. "The party already arrived, ah? Step out slowly, else I fire all of these at once and blow a hole in the building so big that even if you survive, no one else in here will." Her voice was so calm, as if she knew Carter her whole life.

Carter's eyebrow twitched in annoyance under her mask at the total lack of respect from human life and she stepped out from the shadows hands slightly raised in a calm, nonthreatening manor. She activated her voice synthesizer, so her voice sounded like a guy's and a bit gravlier than her normal smooth accent "Alright, Alright. easy on the trigger." She stepped over the pretty beaten man on the floor. "There is not a party either. Its Just me. I came to see what was going on, not necessarily to interfere."

"Ah! I've seen you on the news before. You're on the younger ones." Mina's own voice scrambler made her sound robotic, but still slightly feminine. It didn't matter as much to her- no one would suspect her of such attacks, even with some backing evidence, if her identity was ever connected to Paragon. She began to walk forward, the right still trained on Carter, ready to fire. The other moved as she spoke, gesturing with each word or two. "But I know your kind. I'm probably infringing upon a law or another by serving justice upon this man. So don't lie to my face about interference, rat. Either scamper along now and let me finish my job, or come meet your maker." She stopped just out of reach of Carter, now at point-blank range with her rockets.

(sorry, had to run some errands.)
Carter kept her eyes carefully trained on Mina, not doing anything to provoke or otherwise cause her to fire the missiles. "I can say with certainty You've never met someone like me. I am my own Kind" She said, keeping a calm tone, while trying to figure out what she was going to do now. She would inevitably get hurt if Mina decided to fire, she wouldn't die, or be effected majorly...probably, but there was no way she could get everyone out of the building either. "Why don't you put away your missiles and explain it to me. You might find that we align on this issue. Justice is subjective after all." She watched the other carefully, trying to decide if worse came to worse which gadget she'd use for the take down. It looked like Paragon's suit was powered by electricity, so shorting it out could be an option...a condoctor option would be good too..to make the power flow else where. maybe something to do with water...Carter's mind raced as she tried to come up with a viable plan.
Finni chuckled softly "I have been zapped once or twice with my own misdirected spells. No worries. It happens to everyone." he smiled warmly as he ate is silence for a bit, looking up as he heard a distinct cawing, and was thus bombarded by a black feathery body. Vitae cawed happily as he nestled down into his owner's hair, fluttering his wings, before looking at the new person in the cave curiously "See?" Finni laughed "My attack raven. Hard at work." he joked.

(That's alright! I'm going to be leaving soon ^^")
"I generally don't like people like you. You believe you're smart enough to outwit me. That means you think you're smarter than me. I truly hate people like that. But you... you're interesting, for sure. What's going on in that head of yours? A battle strategy if you got the chance? It's nice, this helmet- you can never tell if my attention is on you, or looking away at Lex Luther's subordinate crawling away behind you." On cue, she clicked down the magnitude of her rockets- only one was activated- and fired straight passed Carter towards the elevator. The man's blood trail led all the way there, and as soon as the explosion hit, the elevator soared down the shaft, certainly with a dead man inside.

"on the contrary." Carter sighed as she watched the elevator disappear, making not move to try an catch it, though she probably could have if she really wanted too. the Elevator was not that far away. "I wouldn't be paying attention or really thinking about it if I thought I could easily outwit you. I find those who I am smarter than to be quite boring and uninteresting." she looked back toward Paragon "But like I said before, I more interested in finding out why and what than intervening." She paused as she looked around the building thoughtfully before looking back at Paragon "I have no love for Lex Luthor, believe me but you threatened me first, so if it comes down to it, I would want a strategy, Yeah? I didn't show up to fight you off." Carter honestly didn't really know what she had come here to do. The side of her more relative to Superman, would have said to save the humans, whether they were in the wrong or not, which may have been why she came to save the staff originally and take on the villain, to lessen loss of human life...but the detective part of her mind was less focused on that, than finding out WHY exactly the other was driven to committing a crime.

"Oh, a regular psychiatrist, you are? Well, I'll give you a hint to my mental state. Perfectly fine. As far as the whos' and whats', that man I just 'sploded was enslaving the poor people here. Everyone will be able to choose their own path now." She replied simply. And with that, she lowered her arm, motioning that she was done threatening Carter. "I'm afraid I don't know your name. Would you please?"

Finni laughed as well "The attack will be perfect, if I some how have an evil twin" He rolled his eyes softly, but was smiling amusedly. He gently coxed Vitae out of his hair, and onto his arm before ripping off a piece of waffle for the bird to eat. He grinned and ruffled the black feathers. "Yeah..hes more a companion than anything."
Carter relaxed a bit when Paragon's missiles were lowered, ending the hostility between the two of them, and held out her hand "Nyx, and you are?" she asked tilting her head to the side. Honestly the notion of people being able to choose their own path resonated strongly with her. It was what she had escaped the lab for after all. She couldn't fault someone for wanting that for others.
