Young Justice: Allegiance - RP

[mdf2711]

"Are we done then or what? Can we stop discussing this? Does any single vote against even matter when the rest of you seem so convinced to commit to this death sentence?" asked an impatient voice. Batman turned to scan Wonder Girl's expression. The usually bright young woman seemed stony and decidedly unhappy. And her demanding tone registered as one that wished to hurry along the process to get everything over with. Though he could share her sentiment in a few ways and understood her point of view well, her attitude did not bode well. Even through his mask Wonder Woman could tell his signal was one to calm down her former sidekick and friend.



Martian Manhunter rose from his seat beside his niece Miss Martian and Doctor Fate. He cleared his throat and looked equally distraught. "I would tend to agree with Wonder Girl on this matter. The thought still disturbs me. I remember the prior attempt well and although it seemed a good idea and did do well for some, it still was dangerous."



Superboy and his older brother/clone, Superman, rose as well. Conner was the first to speak, however, "Wonder Girl would do well to remember that she benefited from the initial attempt as did many other heroes standing with us today," he argued, gritting his teeth as his passive aggressive tones carried. He stared harshly at Wonder Girl, then Miss Martian and her uncle. One of the Robins, Tim Drake, nodded but the younger Boy Wonder, Damian Wayne, seemed to disagree. Batman could tell this ultimately was a divisive issue even amongst the former Young Justice members, as Nightwing, Kid Flash, and Batgirl joined in on the yes side and Bumblebee, Guardian, Blue Beetle, and Kaldur'ahm murmured angrily what sounded definitely like they were on the no side.



Despite this, a majority did seem to be open to the idea as Wonder Girl had decided. Aquaman, Flash, all three Green Lanterns, Red Tornado, Rocket, Zatanna, Stargirl, Booster Gold, Beast Boy, Black Orchid, Fire, Icon, Vixen, and Captain Atom to Batman's right were nodding in agreement to Superboy's statement. To his left, Atom was giving a thumbs up to the outspoken youth. Green Arrow, Red Arrow, Doctor Fate, Black Hole, and Captain Marvel also nodded at their fellows across the table. Lagoon Boy and Static shared nervous glances with Cyclone while Etrigan, Firestorm, Katana, Starman, and Halo remained silent and withdrawn.



The leader of the group, Black Canary, stepped forward from her place at the head of the long discussion table. She looked coolly around and assessed the situation. "We'll have no complaining. It is a discussion, Cassie, and you have as much of a right as the rest of us to plead your case. You have done so and by your own assessment the group seems unconvinced for the most part. So now we'll do the diplomatic thing, the option we always rely on; we're putting it to a vote." The commanding presence of Black Canary gave a large boost to the authority of her position as leader of the Justice League. She looked across the room toward a large glass window that overlooked planet Earth.



"We're here to decide the viability of the given option. We are all well aware of the risks and the past consequences, the good and bad, of the prior attempt. So now we need to continue and decide whether we as a majority honestly believe this is for the best. It is our duty as heroes to defend justice across our planet and that powerful oath of ours is what allows us to continue to operate by UN charter. The people of Earth believe in us so we need to do what is ultimately best for them. The project is clearly outlined and the candidates have been carefully selected. This could be the next generation of superheroes. This could be the new Young Justice. Or it could be too early, a disaster waiting to happen," Black Canary cleared her throat and surveyed the room. "One thing remains clear is that we do need new heroes. But is this the correct option? Our agenda is clear. What's at stake should not be underestimated. The decisions we make today will reverberate for years to come and influence whether or not the world continues to put their trust in the Justice League. Now, it is the time to vote."

When the heroes of the Justice League zeta'd down from the hovering Watchtower, landing in the Hall of Justice, they exited their private meeting rooms and waved to the crowd. Some lingered for autographs and interviews and others disappeared quickly and silently, some steaming and others just not fond of the attention. Regardless, their façades were masking a deep secret that none would tell. Their decision had been made through vote and the results had not been anywhere near unanimous but a 2/3 decision was still enough to commit to the established task. Batman turned to Black Canary and they shared a nod, the candidates had been carefully selected months ago when the proposal was first suggested. They alone knew that the postcards to each candidate inviting them to join the project and meet for the first time next week in Civic City prior to the vote anyway. But this was irrelevant now with the support of the Justice League underway. The Team would soon be re-established and what dangers that might bring remained to be seen and were being monitored carefully - and suspiciously. Even behind his mask though, Batman shared a brief grin with Black Canary before turning around and disappearing before her eyes. Black Canary continued to smile as the crowds swarmed around the Hall of Justice, almost oblivious.

Young Justice would be reborn.

It had been a while since Paloma had come to Earth, and there were still things about the humans and their customs that still eluded her. Though she was surprised some humans were gifted with different abilities to help themselves and others. Back on her home planet electric powers were pretty standard, and after spending some time on Earth practicing them as well as messing up some humans that had no business doing what they had been doing Paloma had come across some others like her - others with powers. Now, she didn’t completely enjoy working with them as partners but she did help them out on occasion for diplomacy reasons (as her father would advise).

Her father had told her about some meeting for the Justice League which had interrupted her masquerading as a college student for that day. She enjoyed sitting through lectures learning the many facets of human history and biology. He had given her very few details and only the GPS location of where the meeting was taking place. It didn’t seem like it was around the usual Hall of Justice, but she didn’t feel like questioning it. When she arrived at the Old Industrial Center in all its entropy and decay, she felt her stomach turn a bit. This couldn’t be it, right? She changed out of her civilian disguise and in to her vigilante get-up for this? She let out a noise if disgust as she kicked the door open and set her visor to scan the area. It seemed as though she was the only one there, no other signs of life besides insects and rodents yet.

“You know, from what my father tells me the Justice League is doing alright, but from where we’re meeting...”She said to herself as she stood with hands on her hips. “Looks like the glory days are over for the Justice League.” Orange eyes scanned the abandoned building from behind her visor, rusting metal contraptions and cobwebs from insects stringing from the broken windows. If this was some sort of joke, it wasn’t funny. Earth ‘humor’ wasn’t even that great - though from the looks of it maybe her father was starting to enjoy it based on this meeting place.

An alien with silvery skin was already standing in front of the factory when Savi arrived, a slowly melting mango smoothie in one hand and a black sling bag slung over the opposite shoulder.

So the address was right after all, they thought, staying out of sight for the moment and sipping their smoothie. Savi could think of only a few reasons as to why the Justice League would summon them out here instead of to their headquarters: the Civic City industrial district had been long abandoned, a relic of a smoky past. It was the perfect place to hold an event upon which no innocent bystander would stumble - and also to ambush a bunch of unsuspecting heroes.

They checked their phone, then the folded letter in the pocket of the leather jacket. The message hadn't changed in the past dozen or so times they'd reread the letter, yet every time, Savi hoped there was some new clue as to why the League had basically demanded their presence on the other side of the country. (And all without so much as an offer to reimburse their transportation costs! If the letter hadn't come from the Justice League, it would've gone up in flames a week ago.)

Savi stepped out of the shadows and into the alien's line of sight. It was the best kind of day: the sun was so bright that the glass windows of the industrial center seemed to have dissolved fully into white glare; the panels on Savi's uniform were warm and alive and full to the brim with energy. The heat of their power buzzed through Savi's every vein, seeping into every cell. In that moment, they were ready to handle anything the League could throw at them - including introducing themselves to an alien whom they'd never seen before in their lives.

"Hello," Savi said, showing the half-folded letter caught in between two of their gloved fingers. "Did you receive one of these as well?"

[raindancemaggie]

Evie gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to scream as the light flickered from green to moldy mustard and finally red. She was so stinking close to the industrial center that the Justice League directed her to and after all the traffic she had hit in Boston (leaving right before commuter rush hour had been a bad idea) and the light was red. And the next light was red. And probably the light after that, too, because why the heck not?? The stoplight dangling above shifted back to green and Evie shot forward down the nearly empty streets. She had never been to Civic City before, but the streets had welcomed her with open arms. She had instantly felt at home navigating the spacious roads and neighborhoods. Evie glanced down and the folded piece of paper riding shotgun. This was it. The Justice League wanted her. Don't be silly...They want to contain me, keep an eye on us, keep you from unlocking your full potential..., a deeper, sleepy voice chimed in. Evie rolled her eyes. Azraeuz had been making similar remarks since the moment she received the letter. We'll see... she thought.



Evie pulled into the abandoned industrial park and climbed out of the car. She had removed her license plates and the logos on the back. She had to invest in better transportation, but for now, being as unidentifiable as possible would have to do. Two people (maybe people?? One looked like an alien, but she could not be certain from this distance) were already waiting in front of the building. Taking a deep breath and standing up a little straighter, Evie walked over towards them.

A lanky, pale boy with thick headphones on was scooting along the bustling sidewalks when the message came in. "This changes everything," he stated to no one in particular, stepping on the left side of the electric skateboard to accelerate. He was going to go home after a long day of college, or drop by his dad's post at the police station to see if he could grab a corpse for some dummy training, but since his dad had just sent him that address, he might as well tend to that first. Poor Dad must be confused out of his mind, mused Seung inwardly, Ah yes, his useless son who can grow a couple o' extra body parts, being taken up by the prestigious Justice League. What a huge farce. He zipped skilfully past the crowd, looking every bit like a reckless, normal teenage boy as he did a flip to skid down the railing of a staircase. The loud grating noise didn't seem to faze him, considering his poor hearing, but it did turn a few annoyed-to-shocked heads in the crowd.

Seung checked the message once more with a swipe of his phone, watching the words of the verbal message flow across the screen before knocking on the window of an asleep taxi driver. "Duuuuuude," the boy drawled, showing the address on the phone screen, "You know how ta get ta this address?" The taxi driver raised an eyebrow, asking why'd he wanted to go there and Seung just rolled his eyes. "So didja want my money, or is this a no-go?" he snapped impatiently, watching the taxi driver's lips quiver in slight protest before letting him in. It wasn't long before they pulled up at the side of the road leading into the industrial park- the driver was reluctant to go farther for claims of paranormal activity. Seung jumped off after paying the fare, dropping his electric skateboard on the ground before looping his headphones off.

He removed a small box from his jacket, revealing a pair of hearing aids inside. Reluctantly, he looped them into his ears and pressed them in before sliding them on. Then, he jumped onto his skateboard, whizzing around the vicinity until he caught sight of three girls mingling in front of what appeared to be the entrance of the building. Seung slicked his hair back with his hands, trying to make himself look cooler (it didn't help) and stepped on the skateboard slightly forward, accelerating at the trio before making a wide turn and jumping off, catching the skateboard with a foot. "'sup, ladies," he stated coolly, "What brings us all here?" He was just testing the waters- after all, they could very well be just passing by. It couldn't really be though, considering the creepy girl-person-thing-whatever-it-was who looked like she climbed out of a webcomic, the somewhat annoyed girl who looked like someone punched her and the dark-skinned girl who looked normal-as-is.

Graham levitated himself across the bright blue sky. His high altitude and fluffy cloud cover made the flight more concealed and also more enjoyable. He marvelled at the beauty of the sun and stared above at locations where he knew the stars were, though they remained unseen at this time of day. The universe seemed at calm for now but Brother Graham and his associates of the Blue Lantern Corps sometimes found things to do from time to time. Of course, his mother and father often had a trifle argument for him, telling the boy he needed to stay in school and get an education and stop fooling around with nonsense. They understood slightly and he knew they loved him dearly but their ignorance and misunderstanding didn't make it any easier for him to feel supported; but as always, the youth was hopeful for their acceptance one day. His uncle's constant interventions to the dispute helped to ebb the flow of the angry tide anyway.

Graham just didn't understand how his parents mistrusted him so much. He did recognize that their compassion was the sole thing fueling their worrying but the boy also felt torn. Maybe it was rash to feel this way, but he had been chosen by his Power Ring and by the brotherhood of the Blue Lantern Corps. He had been entrusted to protect his sector and the universe as a whole. And now, he had a good idea of what was about to happen. His uncle Hal had delivered the letter himself, from the Justice League. Graham didn't know for sure the details and was certain he was too young to be considered for membership yet but he assumed it would be the start of a partnership and that solid foundation to grow his reputation and trust with the superhero association dedicated to protecting peace on planet Earth, his home planet and favorite out of all the worlds in his sector, and the universe as a whole, well, that was worth it irregardless. Even if they were planning to ask him to be an errand dog, he'd jump at the chance right now.

The only thing that made him nervous was the fact that he'd been asked to meet in Civic City, at the abandoned industrial complex. Why not meet at the Hall of Justice? Or maybe even the real base of operations for the Justice League, the Watchtower HQ? There were plenty of good places to meet but a secure location, while practical, could have been selected anywhere, and probably a lot closer to Graham's home.

As he reached his destination, he began to descend and did his best not to be conspicuous. His blue uniform turned a light shade to match the bluish sky and he tried to move as little as possible. When he landed and looked around, willing his outfit back to its usual shade of Hope Blue, it was almost as if he'd suddenly appeared out of nowhere to the untrained eye. Of course, it was unlikely afterall that anyone would have been looking out for a floating head and hands and a very sky colored suit slowing in descent as it reached the ground, but he knew the Justice League was perceptive and expected his uncle most of all to have spotted him.

But as Graham Jordan looked around finally, he realized the group surrounding him at the metalworks was not the Justice League at all. He jumped a bit and wondered if this was an ambush but after deciding he would have been attacked by now if it were, he calmed a bit. Despite this, the boy was wary and suspicious. "Whaaa? Who are all of you?" he demanded to the strange group. Had they been invited as well? Or was it a strange coincidence? And what in the hell was going on exactly?

[Mini]

Sure enough, others were showing up in their hero and vigilante get-ups in the same place where Paloma had been sent. Some she vaguely recognized from battles in the city, maybe she’d seen the one with the wild hair in some of those classes she’d been taking, but she wasn’t all too sure. There were more things on her mind than those things, of course. “Hm?” She turned to look at Savi and scrutinized them for a moment. “Oh, yes. I did.” She said pulling out the letter she’d received that matched theirs. “A very strange meeting place.” She muttered again. Either the Justice League had truly fallen or they didn’t think much of them to have them meet in some old broken down building rife with decay.

sup, ladies Drew her attention to another that had entered the building. Well, two more. The place was getting somewhat crowded fast. She looked him up and down for a moment before saying “No...” coldly and went back to her own business. The girl who had entered silently drew her attention for a moment, interrupted by one more coming in. A Blue Lantern - if she remembered correctly from what her father had told her. “I believe we all have that same question in mind.” The whole who was everyone, what they were doing there. Yet asking it over and over wasn’t going to do anything. “It seems that at least two of us have received letters asking us to come here, have you three as well?” She directed to Graham, Seung and Evie. “That’ll probably at least answer that. We’re all here for some reason. What it is is still unknown to us.” 

After a few seconds, she opened her mouth again. “What I want to know is why the Justice League sent us to such a broken down, old place. There are so many other options and places for us to meet. It’s not like the citizens haven’t seen us in action at least once.” She said aloud to nobody in particular, trying to get in contact with her father through her visor all the while, yet coming up with nothing every time. He would no doubt get an earful from her the next time she saw him.

[dracoon]

“It seems that at least two of us have received letters asking us to come here, have you three as well? That’ll probably at least answer that. We’re all here for some reason. What it is is still unknown to us.”

Seung looked mildly miffed at being denied, opening his mouth to retort that yes, he had the letter and was worthy but watched her mouth carefully as the weird comic-book-alien girl paused, before she continued her speech. “What I want to know is why the Justice League sent us to such a broken down, old place. There are so many other options and places for us to meet. It’s not like the citizens haven’t seen us in action at least once.” As she ended, Seung could only shrug in response. "I unno. If I knew, I won't be here, I'd be sittin' in the comfort of HQ and swiggin' a cup of nice red wine. Smooth," he replied, smirking calmly, "'sides, I'm sure there's probs gonna be a jet comin' in or something, so they can't invite us to the cushy office and cramp us all in. 'Else, there's probs more people that hasn't made a show yet, so they needed the space. Just a couple o' inferences."

"Ta go back to your first question," Seung swiped his phone and showed the verbal message of his father to him regarding the league, "Fairly certain my dad ain't lyin' about my letter to Hogwarts for superheroes. I would go back and get it, but effort and cost. So, message and photos it is, I guess."

[Wyndi]

"I'm not a lady," Savi pointed out, but between the Blue Lantern's arrival and the alien hero stepping up to the plate, their words might just as well have vanished into thin air.

Only half paying attention to the conversation, they scrutinized each member of the slowly growing group with avid curiosity. An alien, a Lantern, two unknowns, and themselves - just why had the League brought them all together, and how many more were they expecting? The skateboard boy's theories seemed too optimistic; Savi's own worry that the group was about to be attacked, too pessimistic.

"Or the League could simply want this...meeting to stay off the media's radar," Savi offered. The simplest answer was often the best, wasn't it? "If the five of us had showed up at any of the League's bases, we would've been noticed right away because none of us - as far as I know - are League members. Anyplace nicer and more...inhabited would be sure to draw attention too, especially if anyone from the League is coming in person."

[raindancemaggie]

"Makes sense to me," Evie commented. A Blue Lantern, an alien, a handful of humans, all with no publicly known connection to the Justice League just waltzing into the Hall of Justice would cause a media nightmare for the current Justice League that could easily be avoided by not meeting at the Hall of Justice. Even in plainclothes, they stood out from the crowd like a sore thumb. Odd expression, "like a sore thumb." How often did you really notice someone else's thumb when it was feeling mildly painful?? Not often.  

Evie unfolded the letter in her hands and read through the words for the millionth time. IT IS MY GREAT PLEASURE TO EXTEND A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO YOU. THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA HAS TAKEN A NOTICE OF YOUR SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES AND REQUESTS YOUR PRESENCE IN CIVIC CITY.   She could recite the letter word for word from memory by now, thanks to countless hours reading and rereading it in her head, trying to puzzle out what exactly the Justice League wanted with her. 


"Speaking of the League, do any of you know if they are here yet?? Are we supposed to meet them inside or something??" Evie asked. Theoretically, someone would've been here by now, but considering it was the League they were talking about, there was a distinct possibility that they were already here, simply waiting for the group of teens to find them. 

[mdf2711]

Graham reached into his pocket and pulled out a neatly folded envelope containing his own letter. He nodded slowly at the group, establishing himself as the final person to admit they had received a letter, though the other boy had only pictures as proof instead of an actual copy with him. The Blue Lantern slowly analyzed the group, now recognizing the alien girl as Paloma, daughter of Black Hole, one of the most recent additions to the Justice League and a diplomatic envoy from his own home planet's version of the United Nations. The androgynous person he did not know of but he recognized the solar panel technology on their supersuit and noted that it must be due to some sort of sun-activated power, likely a storage technique for times when sunlight was not available and power drain was most imminent. The girl who was dressed in a black cloak, form-fitting garments, and large combat boots gave no indication of her abilities (or if she had them even) through insignias or attire. The boy, the only one dressed in his civvies, also gave no indication of his abilities, though Graham noted that through his lazy, strange speech, he had mentioned that he considered himself a "superhero" so he likely had powers of some kind. Though these two gave no indication of their powers, Graham knew that the Justice League had decided to extend their invitation to them as well and so he reserved judgment for later, assuming they were likely very impressive indeed.

"So kind of you to join us, this afternoon, kiddies," a sharp voiced pierced the air suddenly. Graham whirled around with the others very quickly, noting that the voice came from inside the abandoned factory closest to their current location. A woman in a tight one-piece with a pointed mask and a tiger printed cape strutted out. "Indeed," another voice cackled, a pale woman wearing a revealing piece that flowed with a long cape revealed herself from behind the group. Then another laugh joined the area as a dark skinned lady in fishnets and a frilly piece completed with a tiara stepped out to finish the triangle surrounding the five kids. Graham instantly recognized the trio as Tiger Moth, Dragonfly, and Silken Spider.

The Lantern levitated himself above the ground, narrowing his eyes and balling his hands into fists. Suddenly, the three sprang into action, trying for a hand to hand combat assault to start. Graham focused his attention on Tiger Moth, focusing his hope on the project of a new construct. A wall-like barrier appeared between the two of them and she banged on it temporarily until it disappeared, her weight pressed against it and unexpectedly gone, she fell down but quickly swept herself back up. Graham turned and hoped the others were doing as well at keeping the super villainesses at bay. Dragonfly cackled again from a distance but the Blue Lantern could not tell what was going on over there. "So kind of the Justice League to deliver a defenseless group of superbrats for us to destroy! By the time they show up, you'll all be dead!"

[dracoon]

Seung sighed loudly and overdramatically when the trio showed up. "College ain't paid me ta deal with this shit," he grunted, extending his arm as another arm sprouted from his wrist, as if he was holding a bat of interconnected arms. As the boy leapt in the air before making a small shield to prevent the villains from barging their way through, he sighed before swinging his arm bat for a long ranged punch to knock back whoever they were (he guessed they were hostile villains, what a nice welcoming party, the boy mused to himself). Of course, he had no time to be snarky as the battle raged on, urging himself to keep his focus and not get sidetracked by useless prattle. 

He formed another palm onto the arm-bat, seizing the opportunity to perform a low sweep while using the two hands on said arm-bat to grab onto the ankles of the hostiles. Though Seung missed his mark, he quickly coiled the arm-bat over the first leg he could grab before bending said arm by the elbow: the force of the grip would be enough to trip anyone over. 

[raindancemaggie]

Evie's face fell when the three women rounded the corner. Of course. Why would the Justice League actually want a group of kids?? The whole thing was a trap, and they had all fallen for it. Taking a step back from the rest of the group, Evie extended her arms and made a beckoning motion towards the shadowy factory. After a second, a troop of rats, mice, several squirrels, and even a raccoon, all in various stages of decay, scurried out of the dark and straight towards the lady in a fluffy leotard and fishnets. The rats clawed their way up her legs, scratching and biting all the way. The Silken Spider let out a shriek and began frantically attempting to beat the rodents off of her.


Silly Spider... Azraeuz commented, sounding incredibly amused. Doesn't she know you cannot kill what is already dead?? Evie smirked slightly, and made a vague gesture towards the squirrels and raccoon. The group joined the mice and rats, biting and scratching the Spider. A small ring of blood, animal piss, and rat droppings was accumulating around the battle. The other villianesses were occupied by a few of the other Letter Bearers. One of them was obviously a Lantern (that ring wasn't just for show) and another was sprouting additional limbs, forming weapons out of his own anatomy. 

Evie looked back to the Spider to find the other women glaring straight at her. She was no longer fighting the reanimated creatures that were tearing her apart, but instead, running full force towards Evie.



Dammit.

[Wyndi]

I knew it. Well, close enough – it wasn’t a League ambush, but villains were easier to deal with anyway.

Savi set their smoothie down on the sidewalk and curled their gloved hands into fists. If this had been a solo mission, Savi would’ve gone straight for a round of solar energy blasts – no close combat. But there were four other heroes around, with (they assumed) varying levels of protection against solar radiation, against superhuman heat and light, and Savi wasn’t about to risk roasting any of them alive.

So they stayed back for a few minutes, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Five against three: they might not even be needed at all. The Blue Lantern was handling Tiger Moth, the skateboard boy was swinging his mass of arms at whomever he could reach, and the cloaked hero was facing off against Silken Spider – what was left for Savi to do, except for possibly steal the others’ thunder?

Still, there was no point in letting the battle drag on any longer than it had to. Fueled by the golden sunlight shining down on them, they sped towards Dragonfly and aimed an energy-laden punch at her solar plexus. Through years of trial and error, Savi had discovered that was the best way to avoid exposing innocent bystanders to their blasts of radiation – conceal the energy in a fist and deliver a pulse of it straight to the target upon contact. Dragonfly was a normal human: it wouldn’t take much to knock her out.

If the punch landed, that was.

Dragonfly dodged at the last moment, her cape billowing around her. No matter. Kicking their speed up a notch, Savi immediately darted behind Dragonfly to deliver a blow to her back.

[Mini]

Paloma couldn’t say she was surprised at the ambush - this was something that seemed to happen often here on Earth. An endless dance between heroes and villains. As the trio took their time in announcing their arrival in the building, she analyzed what known data there was about Tiger Moth, Dragonfly and Silken Spider.

The Blue Lantern was busy taking on Tiger Moth, Silken Spider was occupied by the quiet girl, the other boy was flinging attacks everywhere, and the other set her sights on Dragonfly. If Paloma were alone, she’d be able to take down these three easy - send an electric shock through the building and the air to stun them and be done with it, but with three other heroes fighting she wasn’t sure where to begin. A stray limb from the boy flinging attacks headed towards her, so she threw up a quick force field. “Hey! Watch it, Earth boy.” She growled before setting her sights on Dragonfly. So she could dodge a punch, but could she dodge two? Paloma grinned as she let sparks dance in her fingertips before shooting up and landing a punch right on Dragonfly’s face after the other hero got her in the back. Paloma recoiled a little from the blow and hopped out of Savi’s path before starting to charge up for an electric attack.
