There was a cough from the sky "Manakel, you mean. 'Mr Birds' is one of the worst Superhero names. EVER! And it is also not my Superhero name" and then he says something in French. Though while he was distracted, Nuria had focused a shot of fire at one of his wings, using her heat to make it bigger, and she threw it at said wing. Because Dragomir didn't expect this, he had no time to dodge the attack. And he had a crash landing as he fell to the ground, luckily also putting out the fire.

"Dealt with him" Nuria says, grin on her face. "Now we should leave before anymore of those Superheroes arrive. Don't want them to have to fight us as well"

Johnny rounded a corner just in time to see a winged dude crashing to the ground. That had to hurt. He remembered the guy, a hero named Manakel if his memory didn't completely fail him. But the wing-dude's name wasn't that important either way, the guy was up against that werewolf he had heard about and that gal with the fire-ish powers Johnny had seen around lately, a fairly new addition to the ranks of the 'villains'. He had started referring to her as 'Bonfire' in his head since someone being nameless was bothersome.

Manakel might be some high and mighty hero back in wherever he was from again but right now, he appeared to be getting his butt kicked. So, as a hero, of course he had to step in. Besides, he wasn't eager to let more people or inanimate objects or buildings get destroyed that day.

He could've tried sneaking on the two 'villains' from behind for the element of surprise and a backstab. But that's not how Johnny rolls, that option didn't really even occur to him. Instead, without stopping, he ran to Manakel's side and once coming to a quick stop, held out his hands in front of himself.

"Come on now, people, bullying this bird dude ain't nice," Johnny remarked, keeping his tone light and unmenacing. He positioned himself between the werewolf/Bonfire duo and Manakel as he talked. "Didn't you already wreck enough stuff?"

Blade returned:

"Grizzwolfer has little to no temper so I don't recommend angering him."

---

"Can I remind you that you are talking to a pair of Villains. And I don't know if you know this but Villains do like to ruin stuff for those who don't want them to rule the world." Nuria says, and then she shrugs "I don't know how you would know that though. You are just one of those so called "Heroes" that I've heard about..." she had been playing with some fire as she spoke, and then, without warning, she threw it at Blade. "I hate it when people done stay dead, you know" she says, and then she throws multiple smallish fireballs towards Johnny this time.

Manakel swore in French multiple time, not moving from where he was on the floor. His wing hurt too much, and he wished he hadn't been left to fight the two Villains alone. Especially since they both had abilities that would have made his defeat inevitable. He opened his eyes and saw a pair of feet he didn't recognise, and then he rolls onto his back. He swore in French again because of his wing, though at least he could properly see the new person now. Another Superhero, he though, and most likely one who is actually from Britain this time. That's good. At least Britain does actually have it's own Superheroes to deal with the Villains. He then rolled onto his front, and got onto his hands and knees. And then, using all the strength he could muster, he got himself up onto his feet again. "Ouch. That hurt. Stupid fire powers" he says, and then he inspects his wing. "Damn it... Now I'm stuck in London..." and he summons his Eagle, who had brought his suitcase "Be ready for a long Holiday in England. I can't go elsewhere, I only have a French Passport and a ton of Euros"

Rick suddenly stops as he thinks of something "Can you do engineering? If so, I think I might strike up a deal with you. You do something to help me, I'll see what I can do that will help you. Like the location of the guy you were fighting before, for example. I know where he went"

---

(I'm just gonna call him by his civilian name, even in the superhero form)

Caleb used his powers to make an enormous mushroom grow out of the roof's floor, he stood on the fungi's head or fruitbody and controlled it until floated in midair. He used it like a hover board and flew to the battle scene.

Techno said:

"He was sent to London. But I can engineer. Who I actually am seeking is Grizzwolfer."

Meanwhile, Blade was hit in the shoulder and scarred. He faked death once again, but suddenly awoke and used another smoke bomb from Techno to get back to Techno. He suddenly appeared behind Techno due to Smoke Bomb and beheaded him.

Johnny's focus is momentarily wavered as someone, presumably a hero, showed up to warn about 'Grizzwolfer' having no temper. The heck was that? The werewolf? Must've been the werewolf. Though 'Werewolf' an easier name to remember.

But his undivided attention was soon on Bonfire again as she replied to him. Johnny gave the fire she was playing with a quick nervous glance but didn't regard it as an imminent threat. A mistake, it turned out really soon.

The first fireball was thrown towards the random dude that had shown up, hitting its mark. Watching the guy go down, Johnny opened his mouth, most likely about to shout at her stop or something equally futile, but all that came out was a surprised yelp as the next smaller fireballs were thrown at him. He managed to dodge most of them but one of them grazed his left forearm while another smacked into his abdomen. Johnny stumbled two steps back, a pained gasp escaping his lips, as he put out whatever small fires had threatened to start consuming his clothes.

His clothes. They were ruined. What a bummer.

But still, he gave no indication he had any desire to attack back. Johnny stayed where he was, his left arm wrapped around his abdomen and his right hand coming up again, raised in front of him in a gesture of peace. From the corner of his eye, he saw some weirdo arriving on a flying mushroom. He had no idea whose side that guy was on but more people always meant a higher possibility of chaos and an undesired outcome.

This was not good.

Johnny kept his eyes on Bonfire, and the werewolf, as he talked again: "You're not villains, you're people. And we don't have to fight!" He gave a quick glance at the heroes as well at that point, trying to convince them not to escalate this further. He then looked at Bonfire again. "You can't get anything out of this," he pointed out, hoping that would persuade her to think about wasting her time on this fisticuffs once more.

They'd all just end up injured, hero or otherwise, and the place would get wrecked. There was no gain for anyone.

Caleb arrived floating above where the battle is taking place, he looked down at the fight and saw two powerful people who was dangerous to him. The first seemed to have the power to manipulate fire and the other felt like death was on the person's side. The cloaked hero searched for the man who helped him escape the fight scene, but sadly he was no where to be found.

Then he remember the dandelions that he was studying who suddenly combusted out of no where. He realized that it must be the latter the two's doing! He became furious about that and said "You there with the red ninja costume!" He pointed out the pyrokenetic villain "How dare you stain the beauty of nature, I will now annihilate you!"

Then, large vines of poison Ivy sprouted out of no where! Wrapping itself on Nuria's body.

Grizzwolfer slashed at the vines with his claws, then he told Caleb:

"Flowers and nature are useless! My purpose is death, which is the opposite of yours."

---

" You foolish werewolf!" said the tree hugging hero to the villain "You do realize the oil from my vines is poison! You're fur and skin will melt slowly until you are no more than a skeleton!" he laughed mockingly at Grizzwolfer.

Grizzwolfer threw the claws away:

"You do realize that they're metallic?"

---

Caleb didn't care, he still had a few tricks on his sleeves.

" Why isn't that nice" The confident hero said "I would be annoying if I use my metal eating fungi on you!" throwing balls of fungi spores.

(Please don't watch K-Fee ads. I died a little.)

Nuria was silent as she took this in. And then she laughed. And she laughed quite a bit. "HA! PLANT POWERS? THAT CRACKS ME UP! I am everything a plant is weak against. Look at what I can do, simply by setting myself on fire" Nuria then does set herself on fire. And the temperature started to rise, getting faster and faster each second that passed. "I can melt just about anything right about... Now. Though I won't just yet" she then shrugs and the fire around her vanishes, letting the temperature return to normal.

And of course the news were all over the temperature rising massively in seconds, because news readers were here on the scene already. Dragomir swore again, and then he ran off so they didn't see that he was massively injured and put out of commission by fire.

---AMERICA---

"That's goo-" Rick stops when Blade comes back. "You'd better hope you can do engineering, or you might not survive" he says to the Superhero, raising the gun he was still wielding.

---

Mushroom guy started attacking out of nowhere. The werewolf was fighting back. Stupid news readers were flocking around. Manakel ran off. No one was listening to him.

Yep, Johnny was quite positive the situation was going south really fast.

However, at least the fire gal wasn't as eager to proceed with the senseless fighting, despite her throwing fire around just a moment ago. To Johnny, it seemed more like she just wanted to show off. So, stubbornly and desperately, he hung on to his strategy of convincing these people to not rip each other's throats out.

Doing his best to ignore the sharp pain caused by the burns, Johnny quickly positioned himself in the line of fire before starting to yell: "For the love of god, don't you people have anything better to do!?" He was starting to get frustrated. "I for one would rather go have a burger than do this," he then pointed out. Whether it was the truth, a horrible attempt at a joke, or something else was left for individual interpretation. As was the next thing that tumbled out of his mouth: "Let's just all go home and watch Netflix, alright?"

Besides, somehow the hero/villain wrecking crew had thinned. It was just him and the mushroom guy against the two at this point. It didn't seem like a good match-up for Mushroom and him. He didn't want to bother with any more injuries.

---

A man was yelling about somewhere in the lines of having something better to do than fight, eating a burger and watching Netflix. As annoying as it was, the man with the simple costume who right. We shouldn't be fighting with no reason at all, about some stupid feud, although some feuds even last for decades.

So the cloaked hero stopped fighting with the werewolf and fire lady, and went to the under-dressed life-stealer and said " I agree with you mr. whatsit, we shouldn't fight and just talk about this." then he glared at the two spawns of hell " But those two have sinned gravely to Bathala! Therefore they must pay!"

(Bathala is the God of the Filipinos, before the Spanish came and forced them to believe in Catholicism.)

"The general public would find it strange to see two Superheroes and two Villains sat in a McDonalds or a Burger King or something like that. They would see you as insane, most likely" Nuria says and shrugs "And I'm not burning you right now, am I?" though she ignored what was said about something she hadn't heard about.

---

Blade took some of Techno's pieces and made a laser pistol out of them:

"Does this answer your question?"

---

(((Ah, sorry for taking so long. D:)))

Okay, a momentary truce was established. Great. Though Johnny should probably keep an eye on Mushroom, he seemed rather upset about someone named Bathala. Whoever that was. Sounded like some fancy foreign hippie. But for now, that didn't matter.

Johnny shrugged at little miss Bonfire nonchalantly, wincing slightly as that aggravated the burn on his side. He flashed the pair of villains a smile, though it wasn't really that visible under the black fabric covering most of his face, while he proceeded to act like he wasn't talking to some presumably evil pyromaniac; "Eh, who said strange is bad? And it don't matter what people think, we're all a bit insane anyway." Which was quite shortsighted, the little hero himself didn't seem to realize that.

"So why don't you two just make up whatever you did to this Bathala person and we'll call it a day," Johnny finished, relaxing slightly. Maybe making demands wasn't the wisest move at that point, but of course he failed to see that.

Grizzwolfer said:

"Bathala is a god, one which I don't believe in!"
