Mark Grayson has posed:
The search was on to find out where Nolan had gone into hiding. The hope had been that if they could find him, they could confront him before he could enact his plans and perhaps find a peaceful resolution. Mark had gone off on his own, promising Sunny that he would keep in contact with her if he had come across anything.

And he had. Just it wasn't Nolan. Instead, he had come across the Lizard League. And while he had been able to handle them at the start, Iguana had gotten in a lucky strike, ripping off Mark's mask and exposing his eyes and Salamander had managed to spray poison into his eyes. While they will heal, he needs time, and he's not getting it at the moment as Komodo Dragon and Iguana were pounding on him pretty hard.

He had managed to get a message off before it got too bad.

> Belle? *share my location*
> Could use a hand. Fist. Something.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Supervillains were an inconsiderate lot, no respect for family drama or the sanctity of holiday time.

Frankly, it was kinda rude!

With her hair tied back she'd been busy sewing away at her latest costume, the non-super sort...right up until her comm message had booped and the sewing machine was switched off. Moments later, a hasty dis-and-rerobing later, and Indestructibelle was on her way.

Between the sounds of heavy impacts against Mark's face they might not hear the sonic boom that rocked the horizon, but it was a little harder to miss when Iguana was suddenly yanked skywards and tossed aside.

Mark Grayson has posed:
Iguana pulls back her claws, ready to rake them across Invincible's face. "Let's see how pretty you are when we're done with you!" she gloats. Her hand rises high up in the air -- and suddenly, she's grabbed. She barely has a chance to make a panicked noise before Indestructibelle yeets her and she flies, so very far away!

Spitting out a glob of blood, Invincible snorts. "You're in trouble now. Girlfriend's pissed." he comments dryly as he strains, trying to break his way of Komodo Dragon's grip around his waist and starts to slam the back of his head into the villain's face over and over again!

Salamander hisses. "The same mistake as the boy, no eye cover!" He leaps at Indestructibelle, his claws dripping with toxic poisons that he used on Mark to try to blind Sunny!

"You're going to need to call out where you are, babe!" he calls out. "Vision's all fuzzy!" A quick admission as he slams his head back and this drives Komodo to try to slam him into the ground, "I'll rip you apart!"

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Sunny was a cheerleader. If Salamander thought they were the first person to try and scratch her eyes with nails like that? Well, he didn't appreciate the violence that some teenage girls could indulge in. When he leaps at her? Sunny drops back, springing onto her hands like she were doing a stunt, but coiling her legs in a way that -should- ruin that motion were it not for the whole flying thing!

Catching Salamander under the chest, she pushes out, intent on sending the lizard villain flying past her with a little extra momentum.

"I don't think the guy in the cheap lizard costume gets to critique my outfit!" She calls back before Mark's call has her looking to where Komodo and Mark were grappling. "That's not me hugging you!" she calls back, hoping that Mark could pick her direction as she tries to leap towards Komodo, cannonballing herself into a leg sweep to try and free Mark up before Salamander could rejoin the fray.

Mark Grayson has posed:
"Yes, I know, you're a lot more plush in the chest!" Mark calls back out at Sunny as she announces her presence into the fight. Salamander was just about to pounce on Sunny when suddenly, he finds himself loaded up into the cheerleader version of a catapult and he's launched out, slamming into a wall and crumples, taken out of the fight by the hard hit.

Mark hears where her voice is coming from though - and that it's getting closer. When he feels Sunny slam into Komodo, he shifts to the right, rolling away as he pushes to his feet. She can see the burn marks that are healing on his eyes, and he squints.

Even with his blurry vision, he's able to figure out which one is Sunny and which one is Komodo, who is charging down at him. "Belle, going low, get ready to go high!" he calls out to her.

He drops to his knee and slams his fist as hard as he can into Komodo's solar plexus, which forces the air out of him and doubles him over and sends him spinning towards Sunny for her to whallop!

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Go high! Well, she could do that! Rushing up behind Komodo at the same moment, when Mark sends him staggering she coils down and then launches herself upwards with an uppercut that looked straight from Street Fighter, sending the bulky villain hurtling in an elegant arc.

As he crashed into the ground Sunny turned, the blonde raising an eyebrow. "Did you really just compliment my boobs in front of the Lizard League?" she questions before looking to the direction of Salamander. "Was...that all of them?"

Mark Grayson has posed:
"I just wanted to make sure I knew the difference between you hugging me and..." There's a glance to where Komodo Dragon is down and out on the groud, just waiting for the clean up crew to come find them and police them up. There's a faint smirk as he reaches up to rub at his eyes, which is probably totally the wrong thing to do.

"Need to get better, more sturdy goggles." he grumbles. "Usually wear them more to keep the bugs outta my eyes when in flight than anything to actually defend myself."

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"I can pick you up some sunglasses on the way home?" She offers as she steps closer, giving his shoulder a squeeze to announce her presence before swatting at his hand. "Don't rub at it, I'll help you home and you can wash your eyes in the shower."

Mark Grayson has posed:
When she squeezes his shoulder, Mark's hand covers hers, and squeezes it lightly to let her know he appreciated it. "Alright. I take it that means you're going to be leading me home." He chuckles lightly, and turns to face her. "Yeah, I can do that." he agrees with the idea of the shower.

"Lead the way back home, Sunny?"

Sunny Harlow has posed:
As the cleanup comes and the league are detained, Sunny takes to the air gently before drawing Mark along with her, thought crossing her mind. "Of course...but...do you think I went a bit overboard?"

A beat, she smirks. "Pissed off girlfriend indeed."

Mark Grayson has posed:
His fingers lace with hers, and Mark smirks. "Honestly? When it comes to the Lizard League?" he suggests lightly.

"You can never go too overboard. Bunch of jerks." he grouses, before following in Sunny's wake to head home.
