[Mark's walking down the street, carrying a new notebook and set of pencils on his hand. The walk from the nearest stationary store to the Runaways' place isn't a very long one, so it's a quick trip.

He's halfway back to the house when he hears a car screeching when the driver makes a quick turn. He turns his head to see if there's anything happening (or about to, anyway), but it doesn't seem like it's the case. He fixes his gaze, though, bumping accidentally into a random businessman. He drops the notebook and pencils.]

Oh, jeez.

--Sorry. [The man is already on his way after a small complaint, though, so Mark is left with a bunch of scattered objects to pick up from the floor. Sigh.]

[ the city sure is a big place, Atlee has been walking around for a few hours now trying to blend in with normal people, also get familiar with the area. it looks like new york except it's not.

oh look, there this boy who dropped his stuff, he has to help. she bends down and picks up a few pencils and hands them to him ]

You dropped these. [ smiling ]

[Mark raises his hand, raising his eyebrows] Oh, you don't have to-- [She's already picking up the pencils and handing them over to him, though, so he resigns to taking them into his hand with a sheepish smile.]

Thanks. [He bends down, too, to pick up the notebook and the pencils that fell a bit farther away. He takes all the objects into one hand, curling his fingers around the pencils against the cover of the book before looking at Atlee.]

Sorry about that. I was kinda distracted and bumped into this... [He points loosely behind him with his thumb, even if the businessman is already too far.] ... guy.

--Anyway, thanks again.

You're welcome. [ she hands him the last stray pencil. ]

It's alright, it happens. People always seem to be in a rush in the city, they aren't very polite.

[ a small pause ]

Are you going to school?

Wh- Oh - [he glances at his material, arching an eyebrow.] You mean if I'm going today?

[ she nods. ] Yeah, someone your age carrying those books and pencils, I just thought...you know, school.

[Mark doesn't really say anything for a while, trying to think of anyone who would have classes on a Sunday. But hey, you never know.]

Well... no, not really. [He smiles a little sheepishly again.] I was just kinda running out of pages in my other notebook, so--

[SUDDENLY, AN EXPLOSION]

--What was that? [ she swings her head and looks toward the where the sound came from. oh look, things are blowing up, that's never a good sign. ]

[ she stands up ] I'm sorry but I have to go right now.

[Mark whips his head in the same direction, too, standing up right after.]

Uhh-- Yeah. I have to go, too. Sorry.

[He runs off in the opposite direction of the explosion to find a hidden spot he can change into his superhero outfit.]

[A few minutes after, he's arriving at the scene from the sky whoa]

[ she arrives shortly after, floating on her rock-thing taking a closer look at the scene.

Atlee lifts the rubble from the ground making sure that there aren't innocent civilians underneath and stuff. ]

[He's swooping in, intrigued at the young girl floating on the block of rock. He has to take a minute to decide whether she's lifting that rubble with good or bad intentions.] Whoa, watch out for the--

[Turns out there are civilians under that, so he takes the opportunity to get a hold of them and drag them away, making sure they're alright. He has to look around for a moment to try and figure out if there's anybody that could be the criminal behind this. After that, he lifts off the ground to look at Atlee face-to-face. He stares for a quick second- she looks really familiar.]

[ Oh, she's a little surprised that there was someone else on the scene but whatever, it's cool cause he's helping out and all.

she also is scouting the area for a culprit but it seems they have already left or are really good at hiding. ]

Huh. [ it's harder for Atlee to notice the similarity between this hero and the kid she was talking to earlier, most of his face is covered.

since he's in her face she might as well ask him... ]

What happened here?

[He realizes she won't recognize him - that's what the mask is there for - so he regains his composure almost immediately after.]

I'm not really sure. Nobody is-- they just heard the explosion before they could realize what was going on.

[A laughter is heard -- though it's more of a cackle than anything else. Mark turns his head to a man wearing a trench-coat and ridiculous-looking goggles, standing proudly on a rooftop with a megaphone; he starts babbling about his evil superiority and other crap nobody cares about.]

... I'm guessing he might, though. [and he starts going in that guy's direction]

[ looks down at the guy and is not impressed. they get one of these guys at least once a week. ]

Figures.

[ she is right behind him.

the guy notices them and proceeds to direct his pointless monologue at them ]

[As Mark flies in and the bad guy throws his fist out in indignation, continuing his self-righteous speech] Last time I checked the doctor said my hearing's just fine - [he takes a hold of the megaphone and throws it at the rooftop's ground, causing it to break in pieces.] So I don't think we'll be needing this. [He then proceeds to grab the man by his shirt's collar.]

Now call me crazy, but I get this feeling that you know what caused the explosion.

[ welp, he seems to have things under control so she simply hovers on her rock next to them, her arms crossed

she's really just there for moral support at this point unless something happens.

the crazy man guy looks to Atlee and then to Mark, initally he was shocked but his face changes into a confident smirk and then another bombs goes off ]

[Mark turns his head as soon as the bomb goes off. Looking back at the criminal, who is now laughing maniacally and widening his eyes in pride and insanity, Mark lifts him off the ground, both hands gripping on the guy's shirt.]

How many bombs are out there?!

[the man doesn't say anything, flailing instead]

How many bombs!

[after realizing he won't be getting anything, Mark just gives into his temper and knocks the guy out. If nothing else, it'll keep him from getting away while Mark look back at Atlee and swoops down to help the victims of the second explosion.]

Edited 2009-11-28 03:05 (UTC)

[ she manages to minimalize the damage done by the explosion making the saving of bystanders much easier ]

I've got this covered. [ Atlee looks to Mark ]

Would you be able to look for any remaining bombs? I can take care of evacuating.

Yeah - Yeah, I can do that. [he flies up a little bit] Are you sure you can take care of it?

--What's your name?

[ She smiles and nods ] I've got plenty of experience in crowd control.

I'm Terra.

[he nods] I'm Invincible.

[he flies away AND THEY SAVE THE DAY NO MORE BOMBS YAY
HOURS LATER THINGS ARE CALMER and the evil guy was thrown in jail

they're standing outside somewhere
idk
in the top of a building you decide]

That was a hands-full. [turns to her, smiling a bit.] Great job out there, Terra.

Yes, it certainly was. [ she sighs and smiles back...they are standing on a rood of some building okay ] You did a fine job yourself, Invincible.

[ she's sitting on the edge of it and kicking her feet or something ] Is the city always this exciting?

If by exciting you mean totally crazy - then yeah. It's sort of a routine around here.

You looked like you knew what you were doing, though. Didn't you have this sort of stuff happen back in your world?
