Drug Bust or Bust!

[Deleted]

In a couple of strides, Wargirl arrived in one of the other chambers in the warehouse. Immediately, she was set upon by more meta-humans.

No wait. They were acting wonky. A very dragon-y looking gangster stood in the corner of the room, gazing at his own hand, while another gangster shot invisible foes with a mantle of his own blood while screaming "I CAN'T FEEL MY FINGERS." It was clear to Wargirl that they were on SUPR, but they probably underestimated the effects of the drug. The third gangster seemed less out of it though. He turned to Wargirl, with a sudden sense of clarity. He shouted "Wait. It's you!" With a wave of his fingers, as if conducting a song he knew by instinct, Wargirl suddenly felt crushed by her own weight. A gravity based attack? Wargirl struggled to stand, as the gravity gangster rushed over to his blood-spurting friend. He slapped him in the face. "Snap out of it! Go after her!" The blood manipulating gangster turned to Wargirl, and shouted "AH! A GIANT SPIDER!" and the gravity gangster turned at the exhausted Wargirl while shouting "WHERE?!" After a moment of confusion, he added "Kill the spider!"

The blood manipulator shot several arrows of blood at Wargirl, who quickly realized that she wouldn't be able to move out of the way. However, not long after they got close to her, they plummeted to the ground leaving behind small puddles.

"Wait, sorry du-sorry man that was, hehe, my bad, I'm sorry"
"Ahahaha! Did you see that! It was like FWOOSH and then it fell just like that!"

Wargirl was getting pretty annoyed by these antics. Dragon dude was still in his corner, and who knows what he was seeing.

"Okay okay, I'll uh, fix my thing and you can try your thing again."

Wargirl quickly felt the gravity lighten just a little, as the blood manipulator prepared to shoot more arrows. This time, Wargirl was prepared, and she pulled out several blades. With one deft swing, she knocked all the blood arrows out of the way. She then leaped out of the weakened blood well.

"Did I get the spider?"
"Uh, yeah dude, I think you did"

"Not even close!"

"Who said that?"

Wargirl chucked a metal pipe at the gravity manipulator, taking him out first so she couldn't be trapped again. Then, she leaped at the bloodbender, with two pairs of dulled 2 handed swords. She swung them repeatedly, rematerializing them after each swing but each was deflected by his shield of blood. The guy seemed confused. Was he even controlling this? Wargirl pulled out a large hammer, the same she used to club Leatherhead, and brought it down, but again it was deflected. The guy was panicking. "WHAT IS GOING ON!"

Finally, the dragon gangster's attention was grabbed. The blood bender gangster took one look at him and leaped out a window.
"No! You're not getting away that easily!"
Wargirl chucked a few shuriken after him, but again they were deflected. Wargirl silently swore to herself.

"WHO DARES AWAKEN ME FROM MY SLUMBER" the dragon shouted. Wargirl glanced around awkwardly, taking a few steps back. Suddenly, she had an idea.

"Look! A double rainbow!"

The dragon man turned around, awe in his eyes, and Wargirl bashed the back of his head with a metal bat.

Wargirl was about to relax when she heard a "I'm coming for you invisible girl!"

Well, heroes never rest. She took a few more strides and appeared just in time to see the batlike meta-human mid leap.

[Buse]

I'm so dead.

Apparently, the girl stopped being invisible when she lost focus. That was interesting, and a good advantage Dar had over her, since being startled only made his powers stronger. Of course, that didn't help him too much, since she could see him, but he couldn't see her... well, except for the eyes and mouth, now that he thought about it. Maybe that was the source of her invisibility? If only he could take off her mask...

Of course, taking off someone's mask is pretty hard when you're being thrown at someone else. He tried to grasp for it, but all he could do was scratch at the mask as he flew towards a... bat lady. Not "batgirl" kind of bat lady, but an ACTUAL bat lady. He turned in the air trying to lessen the brunt of the strike(and to protect the vial), but the crash still did a lot of damage... to both, probably, since he also managed to make it so his elbow hit her face. Immediately realizing that had been a bad idea, he grabbed her leg momentarily as he fell, yanking her down, but slowing his fall down a bit, allowing him to fall with a safe roll.

He barely had time to move, however, because the llizardman was already running towards him, and approaching fast. The kid thought to shout, warn them he wasn't the invisible girl, that she was still loose and was probably going to screw them over. But then he remembered that well, she was still loose and was probably going to screw HIM over if he did. He rolled out of the way, escaping the tackle by a hair's breadth. Unfortunately, the guy grazed him, which meant he knew where he had rolled to, and continued his onslaught, forcing Dar to retreat, step by step, as he tried to dodge grabs and strikes. The kid wasn't doing a great job at it, but at least he was protecting the vial. And while he stepped back, he saw the safe door opening. At that instant of distraction, Knuckleduster managed to hit a kick to his side, crashing the vial.

"S***! Yo, I'm not the invisib****, man! She got the safe!"

He finally decided he'd better open his mouth now, or he'd be done for. His whole reason to be there AND his plan on how to leave was gone, after all. Not to mention a possible fractured rib. As the dragonguy AND the batgirl turned to the safe, rushing towards it, Dar lowered the stealth to 90% as he brought a hand to the rib. Come on, come on, it ain't much I'm asking... He tried his healing again, but to no avail. As always, all he managed to do was make it hurt a bit more, and get a bit dizzy. That was bad... he couldn't keep that up for much longer. He hurried, moving towards a nearby box and taking some SUPR bags from there, putting them in his pocket. No way he was going to leave empty-handed.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!"

Hiro was annoyed now, his frustration augmented by the view he had of the unconscious SUPR-users on the ground. He'd gotten there late, and these people were just plain stealing his fun.

His spiders flooded the warehouse at his command, crawling beneath floorboards, cracks in the concrete and around wooden supports. His gauntlet hummed, vibrating passively until he hit something, so as to make the intended effect a certainty. He wanted to make an impression, and damn it all he was going to.

When he noticed the bat lady fly erratically, as if something heavy had pulled her down in mid-air, he jumped down from the windowsill he'd been perched on. His spiders quickly positioned themselves as he willed them, and exploded, cracking a wooden beam in half and sending a big chunk of it and a rain of shrapnel towards the metahuman. The big piece of wood struck true, smacking her face dead center, while the cloud of splinters hit her wings, some causing small tears to appear in the membrane holding them together. In conjunction, both effects became the cause for the woman's fall. Gravity pulled her down until her back and shoulders hit a big metal container, denting the structure.

As soon as that business was taken care of, a bigger group of spiders took to the containers that remained intact, filling them with scattered bags of the product and welding the doors closed in such a way that it'd be easier to just cut through the container to get at it. A group small in size but great in numbers separated itself from the crowd, and brought a container of SUPR all the way to Hiro through their combined strength.

"Hey, lizard-brain! I have your stuff! Come and get it!"

Cheshire watched in complete frustration as yet another person went and took some SUPR from the carton, this time one of the self-proclaimed hero types. WAS SHE THE ONLY PERSON ACTUALLY TRYING TO DESTROY THIS STUFF? FOR REAL. She absolutely wanted to run over to this Asian perpetrator and smack him good, but unfortunately her decoy ratted her out so turning back was not an option at this point. If she escaped quick enough and set off the explosives, perhaps the Asian punk would get caught in the blast and be... relieved of his spare samples if not injured to the point of ending his heroing days. She didn't like killing if she could avoid it. Just leveling the playing field.

With an entourage of ugly looking things coming after her, Cheshire leaped out of the window frame she had stopped in and set out into the darkness to find a place to set off the explosives. She had to be close enough for the connection to remain, but far enough that she wouldn't be injured from the blast. A stack of storage containers across the way looked like the perfect location. Using her extensive speed to easily outright the hulking Knuckleduster and his equally heavyweight lover, Cheshire bounded across the shipping yard right up a stack of containers. As she posed up on the top container, she reveled in the look of hopelessness in Knuckleduster's eyes knowing there was no WAY he could catch up with her soon enough to stop her.

She quickly pulled up her sleeve and retracted her metal claws allowing her ease of use. Button by button, she punched in the detonation code. 1-9-8-7. She giggled a little to herself. It was a real RARE date. With the detonation unlocked properly, all that was left was to press go and the whole warehouse would go up like a roman candle taking the SUPR, and likely several thugs with it. They weren't impressive explosives. That corner of the warehouse would be pretty devastated, but it's not like being in the warehouse meant instant death. With that in mind, her hand went for the go button.
