Mark Grayson has posed:
The rain has let up in the city, letting little puddles of water to form here and there, and the splash of rainboots in the water is a common sound. As Bunny Macleod, otherwise known as Prisma is out on a patrol, she is being followed. Honestly, someone had been keeping tabs on her since yesterday, when he saw her on TV yesterday in a feel good news story about the costume giveaway with the Avengers yesterday.

And he had set up on a nearby building, watching her, aiming and tracking. She patrols along, becoming clear of a majority of people and passing by an empty storefront with a car parked in front of it.

Suddenly, there comes a massive blast of light as a high-powered laser fires at her, the maroon light slicing through the car and causing it to break in half and then explode, shattering the glass of the window and sending shrapnel flying about.

Leaping out of his hiding spot is a man with a helmet and visor, armor that covers his torso and legs and his left arm has been replaced with a very powerful plasma cannon! And it's charging up again to fire.

"Your boyfriend isn't here to protect you this time, ATOM EVE!" the figure declares as steam rises from his arm as he lowers the cannon arm to prepare to fire again. "KILLCANNON will make sure to end your life this time, little girl! You should have never left hiding!"

He hasn't seen her in two years, after all. And last time he did, Invincible kicked his ass in one punch.

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    PRISMA - of the YOUNG AVENGERS! had this up since yesterday, when she was giving away costumes with Captain America and Invincible, and like the hyperactive person she was she was in charge of slinging candy (and eating it, she loves sugary stuff). She was skating along the sidewalk on a patrol, giving waves to the passer bys and had paused for a moment to look in the window of the empty storefront. .. wasn't this a Starbucks at one point?

TThat's when she spots someone coming out of their hiding place, and she turns, activating her shields with their rainbow prismatic properties as the blast and glass catches and is parted, shattering the storefront behind her as she holds one hands over her goggles.

    "ATOM EVE?!" she questions, "My guy you have the wrong superheroine!" she protests, and she zips around the ruins of the car, taking out her battle batons!

Mark Grayson has posed:
"Pink outfit? Check." Killcannon snarls as the glass bounces off of the colorful shards. "colorful power usage? Check." Lowering his cannon, he swivels around to aim ahead of Bunny and another powerful blast erupts from him, this one aimed to slice through her and into the storefront beyond.

"Annoyingly chirpy attitude? Check. You haven't gotten any taller either!" The recoil causes Killcannon to step back, steam again rising from the blast that he fires.

The explosions are attracting attention, however. Including...

<<Prisma?>> this from Invincible over their new /shared/ Young Avengers comm. <<You good?>> he asks in concern. <<I'll be there in a few minutes, have something I'm dealing with here!>>

She's on her own. At least for now. And she can hear the whine of Killcannon's cannon charging his lazor once again. If she takes the time to count, it takes three in a half seconds between firing to recharge to be prepared to fire again.

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    <<Other than some guy mistaking me for Atom Eve?!>> Prisma replies, and Bunny braces herself on her skates, balancing on her toe-stops as she tanks the blast with her shield!

    "I've never even MET Atom Eve -- and isn't she a redhead?!" Bunny asks back, and as charges his laser, she has been keeping count -- becaus ethat means three and a half seconds she doesn't have to have her own shields up. <<If someone could call the police to help temporarily evac the couple blocks that would be *greeaaaat*>> she follows up as she kicks her skates in a tight turn, and goes to bring both her batons to try and send the laser pointer up into the sky before he can fire!

Mark Grayson has posed:
<<Wait. What?>> Invincible asks. <<What's he look like? I'll get someone on the police, I'm at a building fire helping with evacuations!>>

"You could have dyed your hair to hide from me! Do you really not remember me?!" Killcannon calls out as he growls. "You are my /nemesis/. But if you are not her..." He's not convinced yet. However, when she gets in close and uses her batons to deflect his next blast upwards, it clips the corner of a nearby building, causing it to explode and showering the sidewalk below with debris and concrete.

"My name is KILLCANNON, not..." And while she's completely distracted with deflecting the blast from his cannon, his right arm swings around to try to punch the young woman directly in the face. "...get's beat up by little girls cannon!"

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    "Well that makes sense. 'Gets Beat Up By Little Girls Cannon' is a frickin' MOUTH Full!" Bunny states, raising her batons to catch his fist -- unfortunately she does catch the fist with her face. Pain blossoms in her vision as she's send skidding backwards on her skates, adjusting her stance and balance -- did she lose a second? Did She lose count? She braces herself, and then she comes at KILLCANNON (not Gets Beat Up By Little Girls Cannon), and bubbles herself, speeding on the smooth surface inside the hamster ball and intends to run him over!

Mark Grayson has posed:
She didn't lose a second, Killcannon just fired off an underpowered premature shot. As he gets the satisfaction of punching Prisma in the face, he too is backing up for a moment as he braces as well.

Except this time, as Bunny bubbles up and she comes rolling at him, "Who are you supposed to be?!" he calls out at her. "Hamster ball girl!" comes the taunting cry. At which time, it's not that he uses the cannon to fire, instead, he tries to swipe it hard to the left and smack it into the charging Prisma. "Time to swing for the bleachers, babe!" he calls out to her, looking to send her flying while she's in her hamster ball form!

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    "I AM PRISMA! And Swing for the Bleachers?" she asks, and she drops her ball. She bends down. she's coming in low and fast beneath the swing of his cannon!

    And she's going for the Cannon Balls!

Mark Grayson has posed:
The massive cannon swings around over Prisma's head as she unbubbles, and goes sliding along the ground. There's that wiff of air that passes over her, just before Prisma's skate comes up into a sliding kick.

And it slams home into the center of Killcannon's ammo-rack. One can almost see his eyes go wide beneath the visor as he doubles over, knees twisted inwards, a crouching cry as the breath is pushed out of his lungs in pain.

"You cheated..." he manages as he has both hand and cannon over himself, trying to protect the family jewels from suffering another roller-skating skidmark attack.

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    Bunny is a surprisingly deadly when it comes to her CQC as she swings one leg out. She turns around an is to the back of Killcannon now as she tilts her head.

    "Says the asshole attacking someone with a *plasma cannon*." she states, and she whips one of her batons up as she uses a tornado kick, winding up like she's a pitcher in a world series, and brings her baton down in a jab towards the prone rear end of the Cannonman.

    Pulling off an adulterated maneuver familiar to Naruto fans as 'kancho' -- except with her baton. Not fingers.

Mark Grayson has posed:
This is not Atom Eve. This is so not Atom Eve.

Prisma, plasma, is there really that big of a difference? As Killcannon is doubled-over, bent down, his ass high in the air from the crushing of any future kids he planned to have.

And then, he gets kancho'd!

We cut back from the scene. To the wide view, where all you can see if the block and the two silhouettes of Prisma and Killcannon and then, the loudest Wilhelm Scream ever recorded in Chinatown.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Killcannon is lit like a rocket, launched forward. His head slams into the front fender of the car, denting the helmet and onto the ground where he collapses with a groan. And then he passes gas, loudly. He's done. He's so done.

Invincible is just arriving on the scene, trailing smoke, smelling as though he came fresh from the fire as the police are coming in. "Prisma!" he calls out, looking for her immediately to make sure she's okay.

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    Prisma would have also accepted a Goofy Yell -- YAAAAAAAHOOOOOIOIOIIIIIEEE

    -- but she straightens up as Killcannon slams his head into a car door, and she winces at the dent.

    "Well. That's a gas." she states to no one in particular, and she turns to the blue and yellow blur of Invincible as he makes his arrival, and she gives a bright grin.
    "Hey, good timing. This guy mistook me for Atom Eve and apparently has a bone to pick with her...?" she states, looking up at Mark with a small shrug and a grimace to her face. "But uh.... how was your case?"

Mark Grayson has posed:
As Invincible lands, he dusts some of the smoke off of him. "Got everyone out, fire department has it under control..." but he trails off after doing a quick flying loop around Prisma just to assure himself she's fine.

Then he lands next to Prisma. "Killcannon." he rumbles as he recognizes the man. "Was one of the first people Atom Eve fought." he explains. "I think he has a fetish." His nose curls in disgust and for a moment, Bunny can see a dark shadow pass over Mark's face. He could easily make it so that Killcannon never bother Bunny or Eve ever again again. Just a subtle twist of the neck and just like that, no more trouble! It's an intriguing idea and solution.

It is the sound of the police sirens and the arrival of the local authorities that snaps him out of it. A couple of blinks and he shakes his head, "Uh, your nose okay?" he asks her.

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    "Ah, so his moniker should definitely be changed to 'Gets-Beat-Up-By-Girls-Cannon'." Bunny replies, and she looks at the prone figure on the ground. "WEll, he's the Police's issue now. They'll take his weapon and get him a medical investigation..." she trails off, and then she wrinkles her nose.

    And she reaches up. She takes a breath, and then with a CRACK she straightens it.

    ... and then teeters slightly from the black spots in her vision from the pain.

    "Ooog... Imma need ice for that tonight."

Mark Grayson has posed:
"And you say it sounds weird when my teeth snap back into place." comes Mark's response as he glances aside to Bunny. She's clearly distracted him from whatever thoughts he was having, a hand setting on her lower back. Just until she's steady.

"We should make sure that gets taken care of." A smile, as if he's not totally taking her home himself.

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    "It IS weird when your teeth snap back into place!" Bunny protests with a small grin. "Teeth aren't supposed to snap! Broken nose though... eh. Those snap. And then just look awwful. Gonna be so bruised tomorrow." Bunny replies, and she leans lightly against Invincible. "You should let Atom Eve know he's going in the clinic. At least one thing she doesn't have to worry about."

Mark Grayson has posed:
"I'll drop her a line." Mark hasn't seen her since her birthday. Hopefully she's okay. Though he gives her a smile, her nose will at least be healed in time for Thanksgiving. That's not foreshadowing.

And with that, his arms are offered to her to rise up in the sky to head for home.

Bunny Macleod has posed:
    Post combat flight? Yes please!

    Bunny gives a grin, and she wraps her arms around Invincible, and she holds tightly to him as she looks to the sky.

    "WHerever you go, I'll go too." she smiles up.

    That one is foreshadowing.
