The Night Shift (1x1)
Forum-Index → Roleplay → Private RP → The Night Shift (1x1)Elvira's gut twisted and her jaw clenched. She pulled Roxy into a firm hug. "Oh babe, I'm so sorry..." She whispered softly as she placed kisses along her cheek. "And yeah, a really good reason would be needed..."
Roxy kissed her back, shaking off the memory. "It lead me to you. That is the only way I can think of it."
"And the only way I could think of it either... But still, I would rather you haven't had to go through it..." Elvira took a deep breath and kissed her once more. "We should get going."
Roxy nodded, motioning for Angel and Sebastian to follow her and Elvira to the other four. "Dad? Would you mind bringing us to the field?" She asked.
"Sure!" Billy replied, making sure the gang was close so that they could teleport in as small a bubble of magic as possible. In a moment, they were on their practice field.
Elvira stretched once they arrived and cracked her neck. "Okay, so, we're here to practice and make a plan. Which are we going to do first?"
Angel let her wings spread out behind her once the setting suns' rays hit her face.
Roxy listened, intrigued. "What is your idea?" She asked, shifting herself some height and muscles. She guessed she could attempt a sneak attack by shrinking way down and being teleported by Danny or Billy.
Sebastian couldn't help himself and stroked a hand over Angel's feathers. He was gentle, his touch a whisper.
Elvira nodded as Danny had made the suggestion, and then again when Nat spoke up. She quite enjoyed having the positivity from the two youths, and honestly found the two of them absolutely adorable when they worked together.
Angel jumped slightly at the gentle touch, but once the surprise was over, she found herself leaning into his touch. Her wings, much like his gills, were very sensitive, and unused to being touched.
"That is pretty good," Roxy said, cocking her head. "I wonder if I can help be a distraction and use that form too. Then he has to figure out who is who."
Sebastian smirked, kissing one of them before wrapping his arms around her waist.
"And if I can get something to block his powers, then he would definitely be dead, if he isn't already." Elvira added. She was worried about the whole thing. No one knew how many goons he had under his control, and how many of them had powers, and what their powers were.
Angel listened as best as she could, but Sebastian kissing her wing made her totally lose it. She slid her hands over his and moved her wings so he was sandwiched between them. "And bear in mind that as long as I can still walk, fly or crawl, I can and will get to you."
"I could probably do you one better and summon him to us with magic while we are somewhere of out choosing," Billy offered.
Roxy mused, thinking the idea through. It seemed pretty doable to her.
Sebastian grinned, waiting to be released. Listening to the others, he paused in his search. "Our Healer needs to be protected. I could be the protector. I can help Angel with getting grabbing men and getting to someone who needs her help."
"I think these are all perfect ideas, and honestly using all of them would be good. With the exception of Angel not having one of his goons to give the injuries to. However, she could spread them out among all of us, and if she can get to him, she can give them to Alex himself." Elvira hoped that no one would get hurt in this endeavor, but there was always the chance.
Angel kept a gentle hold of his hands and let her wings part so he could speak easier. She nodded and agreed with everything that was said.
"I think they all would be good. And Teddy and I can try to be close by so we can take on injuries as well," Roxy offered.
Sebastian nodded, kissing Angel again.
"I can take my fair share until you two heal so Angel doesn't have to try and keep healing so she doesn't get tired out." Elvira looked over at Nat and realized that that was brilliant.
Angel smiled and attempted to kiss him in return.
"Isn't there anything that could be given by touch? Or perhaps some sort of acid you could spit on him as well?" Danny suggested. "Give you a bit of distance and then you never have to actually bite him. He is unclean, in my opinion. Just want to save you from having to put anymore arrogant jerk in your mouth then nessicary."
Roxy smiled, nodding along with Danny's idea. "I could take out his legs while Nat gets close enough to bite him. Or vice versa."
"I've got rather potent venom. I mean, it takes a few bites but in theory, I could take on a megaldon with it. Certainly works on giant squid and grey whales," Sebastian shrugged. "But then I am less reptile and more fish..."
"Bear in mind that I'll be working on something for us that will dampen his powers. Also, we can put the concoction of venom in some sort of syringe or something else to deliver it, that way you two don't have to taste him." Elvira shuddered, not liking the idea of having to touch the man let alone bite him.
Angel lightly kissed Sebastian's cheek, happy that things were coming together. She knew her role, and planned to stay close to everyone so as to be able to heal when needed.
"...I wonder..." Roxy paused, thinking back to comics. "Okay....what if we found a power dampening collar?" She asked. "The ones used to take away mutant powers? If he is mutant. It works on meta humans in general. That would wipe out his power. Could you make something like that, El?"
Sebastian thought over combining their venoms. "We could. I would certainly not like to be caught with that in my system but yes. That would definitely kill him."
Elvira paused and thought seriously about the idea and the combination of the sound waves. "Yeah... Yeah, I think I could. I might be able to talk to Stark and see if he had any schematics for any... Maybe I shouldn't get him involved..."
"As long as none of you guys get hit with it... I don't have much experience with poisons or venom..."
"Typically Avengers do not kill as a general rule. Nor do Young Avengers. But your group is not the same. You have to make rules and lines in the sand for yourselves," Billy told the group.
"This man is too dangerous to let go. He has taken too much. Not even disfigurement as a punishment would do. If he was an armed robber, I would suggest taking his fingers and letting him go. But he is a serial killer who uses his mind control to hurt and twist people. He is too dangerous to let go," Roxy said softly. "I believe Mr. Stark would let us test our boundaries. Our rules."
Sebastian nodded. "None on ourselves. Just him."
"I'm with Nat on this. Roxy has helped me see how to be better, but this guy can't just have his mind fried... He needs to have no chance to hurt anyone else. I would say that unless the person can find redemption or be put in jail safely, then they need to be put down." Elvira voiced, her tone hiding her anger.
"And I'm with both Nat and Elvira. Killing is not what I do. I heal. However, what Alex has done can not be healed, and therefore, just like a parasite, must be removed before it spreads." Angel said just like El had.
"In the wild, mothers will kill young they know will not make it. I find that harsh. Too harsh. But if a member of a pack goes crazy, it needs to be shunned or killed. If we shun him, he will return. Killing him is not only the right thing, but the more humane thing. For his victims," Sebastian agreed.
"Then it would appear we just need to practice, combine the venom and let Elvira do her thing," Roxy said. "Should we aim for attacking him tonight or tomorrow?"
