---

Bishop has posed:
There is a smoke coming from the center of the park, mid-day there should not be smoke. In the air is a drone, that is smoking below it holding a controller is one Bishop large man, holding the drone piloting controller, struggling with it. "YOU!" His voice is calling out in rage, not able to control it watching as it soars back and forth, without any sort of direction. Dressed in a simple black leather jacket, jeans and a pair of combat boots, his large glasses covering his face. His lips, carved into a line of rage, trying again to bring it down only making it spiral around in circles. "PIECE OF JUNK!"

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would hear the soundsof yelling, walking along and cocking her head. Trying to take in the drone and get an idea if it was commercial or military grade. "Well, if you keep calling it that it's going to be iether way." Drone flying isn't like kite flying.. Not that she's done the second one either.

Koriand'r has posed:
Starfire was here, a smile on her face as she was currently at a cart and awaiting the rather large serve of hotdogs she'd ordered. One should always make sure they are well-fed for any patrols, and this particular vendor was quite willing to be liberal with the mustard on her order.

Claiming the first one, there's a blink at the sound of shouting and her gaze moves towards the large man shouting as he was.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
    Some days Mercy likes to use the park, especially the large Lawn to just people watch or get some stretching in. This is not that day, today she was sitting on a little blanket her eyes closed and looking like she is meditating. In truth she is playing a game of 'Guess the scents' with herself. Working on her awareness and tracking of the world around her with more then just her eyes.

    That is up until she starts to smell smoke and hear yelling. That gets Mercy to turn her head and look for the source of both. Seeing the drone in question she frowns and wonders just what is going on. Uncrossing her legs she will do a slow stretch and see if she can maybe help fix it. She's good with motors and maybe i's an easy problem. Though smoke is often a very bad sign. "Can you land it? I bet we can take a look at what it is and that way you won't maybe loose it."

Bishop has posed:
The drone is not in control at all, now it is heading right for the ground it is totally on fire on now, smoke and flames coming out of it. It is heading right for the owner himself with a wide eyes. "YOU!" His voice is sound cold, he is not moving if it is going to hit him, well it can hit him his right hand is moving out as of it grab the fireball on it's way to the ground. "I can't control it, military grade I was told, and but it's trash grade!" His voice is calls out to the ones asking questions, his eyes not leaving the drone.

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
And as the man is yelling over at something, Mary Jane goes to break away from the mustard-aficionado that she had been about ot encounter. She's going to run towards Bishop, intent on trying to hit him with a flying tackle to knock him away from the point where the drone was about to crash. Trying to make sure he wouldn't be caught in the landing! And hopefully Kory could catch the drone.

Koriand'r has posed:
Headed towards the chaoas, the sudden rush of MJ departing where they were getting their snack and tackling the yelling man has her blinking...but only for a moment before she's racing skywards, intending to catch the so-called military drone. It was probably harmless, but she'd had more than a few encounters with out-of-control robots.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
    "Stop yelling at it and get out of the way," says Mercy as she sees the accident about to happen. She also spies the beautiful red headed model that is coming in for the save. Then the OTHER redhead seems to be flying in. Not sure how she can help much she takes her little towel she was sitting on and balls it up. "Here, Starfire!" Tossing the balled cloth up, "To smother it if you can!" Look... she's helping!

Bishop has posed:
The drone is not armed and easy to grab in the hand's of Koriand'r. It is very much on fire, but she is able to find a bit that is not burning. It seems it will blow up soon, due to how much it is shaking!

Bishop is knock out of the way as his hand is moves to grab his blaster, resting on it as he looks over at MJ. "WHAT, I was going to catch that thing." His voice is sounds confused, but he is not drawing that gun as he nods at her, muttering quietly. "Thank you, I guess I would have been fine, thank you again."

He looks over at Mercy with a frown as he shakes his head. "Dammit, you two and do I not look tough?" He is huge, massive man with a leather jacket and matching gloves. "Do I need to like be scarier or something?"

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would manage to slide back up and off Bishop, once he's out of the way, "Sorry Sir, but I don't think it could have pulled off the landing smoothly." Also catching something flaming and seeming to be breaking apart didn't seem like it would have ended well either.

"Are you all right? And best not to risk.." Best not to risk the 'I guess' part. But that's politely held back.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
    "Looks have nothing to do with it, more just common sense. It is generally considered unhealthy to let flying metal at high velocity hit you." She frowns though about the situation, especially if the blaster Bishop was reaching for can be seen. For now she stands a bit from the group to see what the deal is and how this plays out. Not to mention keeping an eye out for any camera phones and or police that may get involved. She gives a small polite wave to MJ, "Hello again."

Bishop has posed:
Bishop stands there with a nod of his head looking over at Mercy and than Mary. "My name is Bishop, good to meet you. With my flaming dumb drone, causing issues." His hand is moves slowly to cover his blaster up with his coat once more, walking to sit down on a bench watching upwards at the flying girl, heading for the drone. "Yeah I'm good, I can take a blow and than blow it into it that is my thing you know."

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would slowly look over her shoulder. "Well, there's no reason to put yourself at risk of being cut up by shrapnel, Sir. No real benefit to it." Unless you're the Absorbing Man, and gotta be absorbing whatever you can.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
    Mercy keeps an eye on Kori and the drone as she rolls her shoulders to relax. "Well so far nobody is help and I trust Koriand'r to handle that. So nobody will be hurt I think." She takes a slow breath to ask, "What kind of drone is that suppose to be? Besides 'military' as you called it."

Bishop has posed:
Bishop looks over at Mary and than over at Mercy. "One to be used for photos, I do journalism. Going to mount my camera on it, to get good shoots you know." He is not a good liar, but he is going to stick to it as he leans back on the bench. "Yeah, got it from a contact, going to get my money back it seems this is not a good one. Anyone know someone that could like fix one?"

Koriand'r has posed:
Fire and flame didn't really bother an alien princess who absorbed solar energy and could survive in space, but explosions in the palm of your hand didn't tend to do all that well for comfort or wardrobe. Wrapped in the usual costume, it was pretty easy to identify Starfire even before one considered the obvious fact she was an orange-skinnedd alien princess with glowing green eyes.

Making to shift, she comes to sink down to earth, holding the drone high. "I don't wish to alarm anyone, but this is likely to explode."

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would glance over at Bishop, "I think that a.. Military grade drone is a bit overkill for photos. I mean, it would have cost several thousand dollars at minimum. You can get a decent commercial one for about three hundred bucks from a hobby store if you're willing to do some research. YOu'd probably have to make some modifications to it to help with getting a good camera to work."

Mercy Thompson has posed:
    Mercy shrugs and says, "I'm a mechanic. But I tend to work on cars and not drones. So it depends on how complicated it all is. I doubt that has a combustion engine in it, then again it is on fire so maybe it does." Mercy rubs at the back of her neck as she ponders. "I don't have any tools with me either way though."

    Then there's talk of something about to explode and she will take her blanket to hurry and see if she can smother any flames and turn the engine off or just pull the power source. That should be easy to do and she has mechanic hands. "The battery isn't plugged in right and you got some wires loose. You got had buddy."

Bishop has posed:
Bishop looks over at Koriand'r and than back at Mary and than at Mercy. "Thank you for getting it, name is Bishop." He looks at Mary studying her for a long moment. "K, keep that in mind." He walks over to the drone now to look at Mercy and than at the drone with a little chuckle. "Now that is means it's fixable, that is good and I need it for something soon. Glad, it's that simple. Doctor McCoy, can fix it easy I bet unless you got this, it's matter of importance, to get working sooner the better."

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would look over at Bishop, "Uh, good thing your friend can fix it. Hope it's a simplejob." She looks over at the drone that had been on fire, caught in midair and hopefully prevented form crashing.. "But a new one might be a bit easier to work with now that you've had some experience?"

Mercy Thompson has posed:
    Mercy will go ahead and see about hooking the battery on properly, as long as it isn't to hot. If it is she'll politely ask if Kori can connect it for her and make sure it's done right. "Yeah I don't know how well I trust this, but if you got someone who can fix it, it should be pretty easy. Mostly it looks to be loose connections and... I think someone sprayed starter fluid on this to actually make it catch fire." Mercy sniffs at her hands and wrinkles her nose. "Man I don't have my soap with me. Thanks Koriand'r and Miss Watson."

Bishop has posed:
Bishop nods slowly looking it over his hand is moves to take out a little bottle of soap from his many pockets, than a water bottle as he offers them to Mercy. "Here you go, why I have so many pouches to be ready all the time." He walks over to stare down at the drone, picking it up in one of his gloved hands. "Nah, I'll have this one fixed it's not metal, that is why I needed it was hard to find one advanced enough that was not metal." With that he nods at them, as he starts to walk off, stopping to walk back. "Thank you Koriand'r, is that right and thank you Miss Watson. Be safe, if you need me just call this number. I'm good at fighting, not so much this stuff." He hands out a little card with his number at the school.
