GuardianAngel1911-Admin/ shadowknight"You are in more danger than you know," she said, "where is your friend?" she asked looking about. She walked past him, not really noticing him, or the words he had spoken.

@ga/Ruliya -----Watchdog
Watchdog had raced down the fire escape when the Knight and Shatter fell from the roof. Half way down when the portal opened , the sound of the battle cry spurred him to move faster. He jumped, four stories strait down, passing through the pavement. 'Got to reach him.'
He came up, a cloud of dust filled the air. Watchdog phased through the wall of the building next to him. He quickly circled, passing through the building and stepped out behind the woman who stood next to Shatter. She asked where he was, He looked down....'The hell?' nothing, there was nothing there. He thought hard 'VISIBLE!' he shouted in his head....and it was. Shatter jumped at his sudden appearance. "Well guess I learned a new trick.."

Lady Ruliya and Shadow "There he is, thanks for the brief assist rookie. Looks like we stumbled into something big...really big." Shatter looked at the goddess. "So do you want to take us somewhere to explain the situation, or talk about it out here in the open? I assume you've probably got a safe zone of sorts to keep unwanted attention out?"

"Something alien", Robert responded as as form was overcome by shadow. As it traveled across his body it left behind an eery dark metal that seemed to pulse with the dark. After a while the misty shadows faded, leaving Robert encased in what looked like powered armor. It was massive and think, and while there was no outward visor it seemed like Robert could see Katherine just fine
"It took me a long time to get this to work like its supposed to...but essentially, this is the absolute strongest thing in my inventory, and only I can supply it. Not only does it meet your requirements, it surpasses them with flying colors. It's almost virtually indestructible, and trust me I've tested this stuff repeatedly. Don't worry about seeing out without a visor, the armor's material lets you see out in a one-way mirror sort of thing. I call it Shade metal.
The armor then opened up and Robert stepped forth, gesturing to the cushioned inside.
"Well go on, try it out! I found that it'll shape itself to your size as well so don't worry about that. And yes there's HUD."

GuardianAngel1911-Admin/ shadowknightBoudicca stopped in her path, and turned to face the two of them, "A safe zone?" she asked. " Yea, you know," Shatter said, "Like a..."
"I cannot take you to Avalon mortal," she said, cutting him off.
Shatter shot a confused look at Watchdog as he mouthed the word 'Avalon?' he shook his head in response, "Well, I have this warehouse I suppose we could talk in."
"It will do," she replied. Taking that as a cue to lead the way, he turned and asked, " You going to be able to..." he trailed off, 'keep up' he was going to ask before deciding it was a stupid question.

Marcus
*Bzzzzz, Bzzzzz* Marcus picked up his phone. "Yes Colonel"? He said. "Yes…no…What…in the city?! "Fuck"! He yelled as he hung up. He took of running at full speed to the others. 'We gotta get back to the city'.

Shatter began leading the way to the warehouse, making sure to take the shortest route he could, this turn of events wasn't completely unexpected considering the past few days but still, this was going to be a long night now. As soon as they reached the warehouse Shatter had his helmet disassemble and looked the goddess in the eyes. "Okay, we're here, now lets cut to the chase on this situation, what's going down."

Boudicca ruffled her brow, these humans had a very odd way of speaking. She, like the others, had watched and learned as the languages grew and changed, but still, many of their phrases eluded her, "I am not aware of anything going down anywhere" she said, to quizzical looks.
It took him a moment, but he realised the misunderstanding, "I'm sorry," he said, "You said we're in more danger than we know?"
"Yes," she said.
When a few more moments of silence went by he spoke again, "Could you, maybe, explain what that means, and what was that thing back there?"
"That thing," she said slowly, "That was a piece of Mordred's soul."
"Mordred?" Watchdog asked, "You mean from the legends?"
Boudicca thought for a moment, "Yes, you mortals remember the tales. Your people of the time told them down their lines, and the stories changed as the centuries passed."
"So that's the actual Mordred?" Shatter asked, "From the Legend of King Arthur?"
"Not exactly," she replied, "Your tales tell it differently, allow me to tell you the true tale," she said, and began telling them of Morgana's avatar, how she had tried to destroy the gates to Avalon using Ley Lines found across Britain, how by sealing the gates, she would have become unstoppable and conquered the Earth. How Arthur and his knights, with the aid of Merlin had stopped her, briefly. How in a weakened state she had found one of his knights alone, and seduced him, twisting and corrupting his soul, until he had become a puppet. How in that final, epic showdown, Arthur, using the God Blade Excalibur had split his soul, and how Merlin had sealed his soul across the globe. She decided to omit the parts about Morgana being her sister, and that the real Morgana was banished in a star, also, she decided it was best not to tell them that she might return, soon.
After the explanation the two of them just stood there in silence.

Katherine didn't say a word but none was needed to convey her reaction, anyone could have read the unadultered joyous glee on her face, like a child getting a bicycle on christmas morning. She lowered the hood of her shirt, untied the cloth from around her head, unstrapped her ballistic vest and shook her head to re-do her hair. Or more precisely, simply unflatten it. She rapidly scratched her head, making her short boyish hair a tad messier. Then she carefully but excitedly stepped into the suit which closed itself around her, adapting to her slightly shorter stature and to her lither frame, fitting her form without tightening around her curves too much. The full helmet changed to resemble a 'ninja'/'breather' mask, hiding a portion of her face up to under her eyes in an inverted 'V' shape much like the piece of torn tee she used as a bandana did. "Finishing touches" she thought, and a stylized star symbol appeared in the center of the chestplate, black as the rest of the suit, on a golden circle. "I'm forgetting something" she said to herself aloud.
"Cape ?" the shadow man quipped. She knew his real name and codename both now but continued to call him 'the shadow man' in her head
"Yes ! Cape !" she almost shouted. Clasps formed on the front of her shoulders as a thin sheet of shadowy fog descended from the top of her back before solidifying into an ever so faintly shiny black cloth upon reaching the height of her ankles, a couple inches from the ground. She looked herself over and a 'squee' could nearly be heard despite her not uttering a sound. Finally after a minute or 3 she turned to the shad..Robert, concentrated for a moment to collapse the faceplate into the collar and thanked him:
"This thing is sooo badass !! Thanks so much ^^"

"Damn, so there are other pieces across the globe...how were they sealed? Or where? In Ley Line convergences?" This brought a slight trimmer to him, he had grown up near one of the larger Ley Line Convergences back in Chicago, in the Great Lakes, and there were a handful of fairly large ones within a few hundred miles of New York...two of the largest in the Americas were in Chichen Itza and...."Son of a bitch...Florida..the Bermuda Triangle...Grizzly attacks near a Ley Line convergence..a medium sized but infamous one..and a chunk of Mordreds soul attacks only a few days later? That's no coincidence....and..fuck that's why he attacked me! I lived near a major Ley Line..if the soul shards are sealed in Lay Lines I bet some of the energy from there might have rubbed off on me, it went for the nearest source of that Ley Lines energy which was me. Okay so...think major convergences...Lake Michigan...Chichen Itza...Castle Rock Edinburgh in England's one of if not the biggest in the world....there are a handful within a few hundred miles of New York but none very huge like the others I named..Grizzly must be trying to unlock the seals on Mordreds soul for some reason...." Shatter's eyes widened and he created a globe of glass in front of him with the convergences he listed shown in blue glass. The Lines crisscrossing the globe with a large pentagram like shape over the great Lakes
"So we know he hit the Bermuda Triangle...." The dot over the Bermuda Triangle cracked to show it and the line from it vanished "Which...takes one of the lines out of the Lake Michigan cluster...and out of the Castle Rock, Edinburgh cluster....none of the other attacks hit major Ley Lines...so either they were to hide that pattern or he's striking wildly to try and find the right points.....which if I'm right would then weaken two of the biggest Ley Line Clusters...including the one that you mentioned Morgana tried to use to close the Avalon portal" Shatter was struggling to remember the various Ley Line patterns he'd seen on old maps. "Other locations with dark reputations like Bermuda Triangle are the Hamakulia Hawaii Volcanoes, Easter Island, The Devils Triangle, the Indus River Valley....Lake Michigan...but...would all of them be seals? Or is it those? Fuck..where's the pattern...why New York next...does he think there's a convergence here? And for that matter why would Grizzly want to unleash an empty shell of a knight...yeah Mordred was nearly indestructible but clearly he wouldn't be a serious threat if someone like you got involved." Shatter sat and thought for a moment...there was a missing piece here, but what. "Dammit what ties all of this together..."

Marcus
"Kat"! Marcus called out as he ran. "Where are yo-…" He skids to a halt. "uhhh…wow". "Marcus"!!! Kat yell's out. "Check it out, i got my super suit"! She floats a few feet in the air & strikes the superman pose. "Now I'm an official super hero"! Marcus stared at her. "Goddamn…*shakes his head* it's badass but we gotta go"! "Why"? "There was a big battle in new york, Shatter & Watchdog were involved". Kat's eyes go wide. "Really"? "Yeah, *looks at Robert* we gotta go".

------Watchdog
'Does this shit happen this fast in the comics?' Watchdog pondered, then shook his head. The room dropped several degrees ans frost formed on his body. "I don't care what's coming. Point me at it and I'll do what I can to stop it cold."

"Let's go ! Let's go ! I don't wanna miss them again ! Are we gonna teleport ? I kinda wanna fly though..Eee! Can't decide ! Where is it ? Do you know who's attacking ? Is it a supervillain ?" "Whoa, slow down lass, they didn't say, they probably don't know. That's why they're asking me to go there"
"Ooh we'll be like..like..it'll be cool ! So flight or shadow teleport thingy ?"
"Flight, I don't trust this teleporting business too much to be honest"
Katherine grabbed him by the arm a dragged through isles of weird tech, towards a set of exit doors she had noticed while floating near the ceiling earlier, upon getting outside she put an arm around him and asked :
"Ready ? By the way you might wanna hold your breath or not open your mouth too much"
"Why ?" Marcus asked reflexively
Kat's faceplate came up not a second before she shouted
"Go !"
She took off towards NYC at speeds just an hair short of mach 1. She wasn't sure of how Marcus would fare if she broke the barrier so she optedto be on the safe side

@shadow and Ruliya
"Easy rookie, we don't know for sure what we're dealing with on Grizzly's front, we need to know more before we do anything rash." Shatter looked at Watchdog, he had confidence but even Shatter wasn't sure if his guess was fully correct.
