Ohio: Eagleopolis

Sailing through the sky on a roof-ship didn't seem all that productive, so, Valencruz Empowered (So called because he is EMPOWERED from feeding) once again went poof to pass through the rooftop, before returning to his batform to hunt for AB.

Here, Signal was at a disadvantage. Valencruz would have no problem tracking AB the same he did the first time: through his blood. The downside? Well....turns out AB has a friends.

"You're joking..." The bat-turned-vampire said as he confronted the rather odd assortment of beings surrondeding AB.

Upon flying over the crater near the museum, Signal noted various individuals there: Sugar with yet another marshmallow golem (ooh), an old man with some weeeeird energy coming from him, the robot from before, and... Accident! Oh thank goodness, and he's with actual competent individuals, too.

Signal lands, taking a few deep breaths. She had to prepare herself for what was about to hit her like a freight train.

Sugar Shock jumped at the sudden appearance of Zealot.
"Screw you! This baby can take crazy hard punches! I'm gonna beat up the new monster in the city with it! Beside's you haven't seen my oth-" Sugar Shock was cut short as the man's shirt fell apart. Ever the tactful and subtle one, she let out a loud "Daaaaamn!"

"How can I be uncomfortable with people who can cause this level of mayhem in one day? Same way I'd be uncomfortable sharing an apartment with raging bears. Even if they pay the rent on time, they wreck more shit in a day than most could in a lifetime. As fer my 'aura', I don't buy that new-age hokum. If you want to sell channeling crystals, you're outta luck boy."

As 58664 looks around to keep track of his surroundings, he notices two new flying Supers.

"Fuck," he murmurs.

Accident, never to be outdone by anyone, except for everyone, tore his own shirt of. It was only then that he truly realized how cold it was.

The machine glanced upwards, noting still more superhuman activity...and what appeared to be a civilian. Surely, these were almost all of super-humans in what was left of the city. Among them was the unconscious girl he noted from earlier, and the renowned Zealot. Curious, he inquired to the crowd gathered around him:

"Why now do you individuals choose to reveal yourselves? Why now do you convene to this site?"

Sitting up and looking at himself, he seems confused. Obviously not used to people thinking of him, looks-wise, as anything nearly approaching muscular, he goes on the defensive. "What? Something wrong? Man can't walk around sans-shirt, these days? It's hardly my fault that I haven't gone to the gym in...ever." Lifting up an arm that surges with massive amounts of power, he pokes it. "I mean, uh. Muscles don't just grow, right?" Gaze shifting down, again, over the perfectly formed abs on his stomach, he looks around. "I, uh. I should probably go get a shirt, huh?"

"Wait why did you tear your shirt off?" Signal asks Accident. Hearing Sugar shout, she flies up to her level to see a shirtless Zealot. "...Ohhh. Okay. I see where this is going." She goes back down to the side walk and crosses her arms to think again.

(...Would the vampire do that t–) NO. GODDAMNIT, NO. Grr.

Signal sat down, holding her head and sighing.

"I told you why I'm here, kid. I was just apparently very wrong about what constituted a safe place."

>"I, uh. I should probably go get a shirt, huh?"

"...no..no you're fine."

The marshmallow golem's body rippled, totally awesome candy abs appearing out of nowhere.

Facing not only the annoying self-rightgeous hypocrite woman (what he assumes is her superhero name) and now a GIANT CANDY MONSTER, A SHIRTLESS ZEL, AND SOME OLD GUY. Val heaves a heavy sighs and remembers: "What would Justice do?"

He's still empowered. Theres more people to feed on now. Maybe he could take 2 out without Zealot's interference, maybe...or..

"HEY, I'M TRYING TO SAVE THE CITY BY ENSLAVING ALL THE NORMAL HUMANS WITH MIND-CONTROL, CAN I BORROW AB?" Or he can say that. Nice going Lord Val. Oh, he's not done.

"You see, I'm getting a little tired and I'd like to at LEAST stop any more deaths. If you wanna break the city that's fine, just as long as no one dies..." Feeling the atmosphere he uses his VAMPIRIC POWERS OF DARKNESS TO SHRED APART HIS OWN SHIRT WITHOUT MOVING. Yes, he can do that. So now there he is, in pants and a trenchcoat.

That's it. That was the STRAW that BROKE the camel's LOUSY BACK.

Too many shirtless men for Signal to deal with. She slipped on her goggles, hoping to hide the blush, physically grabbed Accident by locking her arms with his, and does her best to drag her away. Because good ideas never spawn in a flustered mind. "We need to get you to safety. Maybe a submarine or something."

Agent knew an orgy when it was shaping up.

He quietly entered the sewers and left.

AB, being the ever moronic one that he was, decided to go along with this.

Upon hearing this, the android accepts the proposition of the second-handsomest man in the area.

"The damage to the city has peaked. Many of these structures are irreparable, so preservation of human life at all costs is my only priority." The android declared in a matter-of-fact way.

"The Behemoth that has attacked the city has made progress to the park and appears to be stationary. Traditional weapons appear to be ineffective. I, unfortunately, do not have enough data on the beast to devise a way to combat it. I would request the help of most of you to stifle it's destruction and, ultimately, destroy this creature."

...did Signal still have the bag of candy with her? No, no she did not. All she had now was PURE WILLPOWER to tow Accident away and deal with whatever consequences may follow. "We're gonna make it, buddy, and we're gonna ditch that vampire! Him and his... and his ABSURD abs!"

Valencruz does that dramatic fog thing he likes to do so much to reappear in front of SIgnal, blocking her path.

Shirtless, cut up all over, bleeding, bruised, and out of breath, he takes a moment to try to catch said breath before talking. A more sadistic kind of girl would probably get off on that, but thats a story for another time.

"How about *gasp gasp* we settle this with a staring contest? I don't actually WANT to kill. Don't make me."

Accident, still quite dazed and confused, muttered, "I have abs! I... I totally have abs!"

Standing up fully on the golem-how is he balancing? Oh yeah, he can fly; anyway, Zealot stands up fully on the golem and puts his hands at his sides, muscles rippling across his body; he looks gigantic, the powers granted to him causing him to be obviously larger and stronger than any mortal man. Biceps stand out like cannonballs, abdominal muscles seem as though crafted by an artisan. "Well, I don't know. I mean, I am kinda being indecent, here." To be honest, though, he was pretty pale; long times of sitting in a room with your travails outside involving you moving too fast for the sun to hit you didn't exactly allow for a tan. "Also! I should probably do something about that girl getting away with...I don't know, guy?"

Hopping off of the golem and flying down, moving to stop in between Signal and Val, he puts out his hand. Man, for the beast of everyone's childhood nightmares, Zealot was a surprisingly musclebound guy. Also, a dick, but that's a story long known by everyone.

Signal lets go of Accident, preparing all of her mental shields and lowering her goggles, turning around and staring the vampire in the eyes... while moving around Zealot. "Alright. Sure. And to think, I never even got your name." Signal crossed her hands behind her back, both of them curled into fists.

Looking at Signal as she lets go of Accident Boy and walks around him, he just shrugs. Waiting until her back his turned to him before moving over to Accident Boy and grabbing at his wrist, he begins to trek away, entering into superspeed.

Noticing these superhumans were more interested in pursuing the ambient sexual tension than unifying against a threat of certain destruction, the android calmly walked off and disappeared into the sewers towards the park.

Accident continued to mutter... "I totally have abs... You guys... You're jealous!"

Sugar Shock huffed at being left alone. Peeking over the candy giant's head, she spotted her two friends from earlier. With the sexy stranger making off with one of them! The Marshmallow golem gently scooped Signal up with a big squishy hand and brought her to Sugar's eye level.
"Hi! Do you like marshmallow? Let's go get Accident Boy and eat some!" she set the golem in motion, pursuing Zealot.

Trekking across land with him at a frankly ludicrous speed on his way to New York, Zealot shrugs. "Yeah, yeah, kid; you have abs. I do, too, now, apparently. They're not very impressive."
