Location: Sion - Nightclub
Synopsis: Heather, Bart, and Gwen stop a problem brewing in a nightclub.
Cast of Characters: Landry Lugar, Heather Danielson, Bart Allen, Gwen Stacy




Landry Lugar has posed:
The night was just getting started, the music pouring from the club into the street, filling the air with upbeat music, and flashes of light when the door opened. The place was not yet packed, but, there were a good number of people about already, some dancing, some drinking, and some a mix of the two it seemed like.

Landry had shown up early, and was just coming down from the tech booth. Dark jeans, black hoodie with 'Staff' on the back, with the S a stylish Treble Clef. He picked up a soda from behind the bar, and went to go find a place to stand off to the side, sipping on his drink, and messing with a table, watching the lights react to his machinations.

Heather Danielson has posed:
    Pulse pounding music has a life all of its own. And ever since her powers manifested, Heather hasn't had to worry about pesky things like headaches. God, that on its own is -amazing-. Heather finds herself on the dance floor in her shoulder (and back) baring halter-top that fastens at the back of her neck.. that and skinny jeans.
    She is on the dance floor, hands in the air with her elbows bent (as opposed to looking like she is signaling for a touchdown).,.. as she gyrates with her eyes mostly closed. For her, dancing is a chance to be alone in a crowd and just kind of... finding herself while others observe. What? If she didn't like being looked at, she would not be a model... and especially not a bikini model.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen has been told he should delve more into a normal live and of late Bart has been looking for possible jobs since he has decided to start college nearby why not a club. He finds himself walking into the place, dressed in jeans and a button up shirt. He looks around the place, and after a moment will head towards the bar, figuring it is the best place to ask about a manager or something. He does find himself looking all round the place as he walks.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
It was a 'night off', a night to relax and a night to enjoy herself. That was more than enough for Gwen to be happy with the evening as it went so far. Wrapped in a mini-skirt, knee-high boots and midriff-baring tanktop, the blonde girl with the bubblegum highlights was out on the dancefloor herself looking like any other clubber.

She couldn't drink, but it hardly mattered to the girl right now. No alcohol was going to be as good as a break from a little responsibility anyway!

Landry Lugar has posed:
Landry Lugar sipped on his drink, casually keeping an eye on things. His gaze lingered on Heather and then Gwen, out on the dance floor, each alone, and then followed along with Bart as he cross to the bar, giving a polite nod to anyone if they made eye contact.

The barkeep looked up to Bart as he walked up, casually polishing the bar back and cleaning classes on his down time between orders, "What'll ya have?"

On the dance floor, it wasn't quite crowded yet, but there were a number of folks out there. Most were dancing in groups, couples, couples+, friends, etc. The crowd mixed and mingled, and gave way, so that Gwen and Heather ended up not far from each other as the music pumped and the dazzling lights seemed to focus on them for a while.

Heather Danielson has posed:
    Dazzling is appropriate for the pair of blondes. Heather's eyes were mostly shut as previously indicated, hands coming down to her waist where she steps, spins and almost runs into Gwen. As that happens, she opens her eyes, giggles and says, "Oh hi! Sorry!" as she twists off and keeps moving. But she does call out, "I love your hair by the way!"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will look to the bartender and orders a jolt or red bull if they don't have jolt. He will pay for the drink and says to the man when the drink is brought to him. "I was wondering who would I talk to about a possible job?" He is not a big guy so looks like he maybe looking for a cook, or something job.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
A bump, it should probably cause a little stumble, but Gwen did indeed seem to practically mirror that twist and avoid the impact, instead endding up facing Heather like she'd been warned...or maybe she just had her eyes open and good peripheral vision!

"Thanks!" she calls out over the music, a grin on Gwen's lips as she reaches up absently to touch her own colored locks and shrugging lightly. Dancing in proximity, her gaze sweeps over the club in that moment of lingering hyper-awareness, gaze passing over Landry and Bart, but so far? Neither of them looked out of place.

Landry Lugar has posed:
Landry Lugar chuckled as the two on the dance floor bumped into one another, looking more like a coordinated dance than an accident. The music seeped into a new song, faster, more energy, and the crowd started jumping and pumping along with it. The lights flashed, strobes, lasers, and spots dancing about the floor along with the people on it. Landry looked happy off to the side of the bar where he was working a hand across his tablet and watching it all.

The bartender gave a nod, "Boss isn't in right now." He motioned down to the end of the bar after handing Bart a red bull, "Landry does tech for the stage. Works all over. Might be a good lead."

Heather Danielson has posed:
    Hey, some dancers look like they know what they're doing even when it's purely accidental. Heather is more about enthusiasm than dance -skill-, but she works hard to keep the sort of figure that keeps eyes on her. So for her it's almost like meditating, working out, -and- showing off.
    She laughs at Gwen's reaction to her hair-based compliment, and she turns to spin into a high speed, frenetic dance... working up quite the sweat due to the high pace of the new music playing...

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Talk of work and tech might fill the air in one corner, but for Gwen? The music was all she really knew of right now. A pumping beat she could move to, bob, twist and jump to? It was perfect for her. "Gwen," she offers to Heather in a casual greeting turned intoduction, if only for the comforts of 'normal' greetings and outings.

It wasn't that she hated the hero thing, she -loved- her abilities and all that she could do...but she so often failed at even pretending for normal, it was nice to be managing it for once.

Landry Lugar has posed:
The frantic energy on the dance floor continued to build up. The girls could likely hear someone shout over the music, and then one of the groups of people around them opened up when a girl fell to the floor near their feet. She was dressed ready for the club, simliar to how they were, but had a bruise on her bicep that looked like someone had grabbed her hard.

Landry continued to watch the pretty young ladies dancing. The little nerd enjoying himself as he toyed with the lights, making them look etherial in the strobe light effect.

Heather Danielson has posed:
    Girl falling to the floor at her feet, Heather jumps back a couple paces. Not out of fear or anything. She just doesn't want to step on the girl. But then she goes down to one knee and offers the girl a hand, "Hey there. Need a hand up?" She asks with a big smile on her face.
    She points up at Gwen and says, "She's Gwen. My name's Heather." she says, introducing herself to the girl.. and to Gwen kinda all at once. "You okay?" She adds... blue eyes flitting about as if trying to find whomever may have caused that bruise.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen started to head over towards the man he was directed to, and wihle he might not ba able to see the details someone falling in the dance area does get the young man looking that way as he makes his way still to landry.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
The odd accident on the dance floor wasn't actually that uncommon, heels, alcohol and more tended to result in some losses of footing and even bruising, but that didn't stop Gwen from turning and offering her hand as well. Two points to help stand, she's offering a smile and warmth along with a nod. "Did you need to sit down to one side?" she questions, but as her eyes take in the bruise she does tilt her head. She'd seen and recieved enough bruises to recogize after a moment that wasn't just a 'bump'.

Landry Lugar has posed:
Landry Lugar hadn't seen the girl, but did see Bart walking over. He gave a nod, "Hey there." He scanned the dance floor, looking for his pair of Muses, to find them picking someone up off the floor. He frowned, concerned. That's not supposed to happen.

On the dance floor, the girl looked up to Heather and Gwen, "Thank you... I am... I ah, tripped. Sorry about that." Once on her feet, she started to try to make her way towards the door, slowly cutting in and out between groups of people like she was trying to not be noticed heading straight for the door.

As she left, a pair of guys pushed their way through a group on the dance floor. They wore matching street bike jackets, with Hell's Kitchen's Janitors on the back. A keen eye would spot more than a few others wearing simliar as well about the club. They didn't seem to notice Gwen and Heather, one starting to push them aside as the other questioned him, "Where'd that bit... There she is!" And pointed to her halfway to the exit.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen frowns as he watches Laundry and the look he gives the men. He will see how many of the men are here. Well first to deal with the ones scattered around the club. Once Moment Bart is walking, and the next there is a red and white blurr moving through the club going to each janitor in time, and taking any weapons he sees on them and leaning down tieing shoe laces together.

Heather Danielson has posed:
    Eying the fleeing girl, Heather narrows her eyes before glancing to Gwen. She gives a skeptical lift to one eyebrow. Then the guy shoves at her and she... just doesn't go anywhere. She leans -into- it actually, and reaches to grasp the man's wrist. Sure, she could break the guy, but she just wants to keep his attention on her for the moment, "You should watch where you are going." She says to the guy. The teen girl glaring at the big guy looking a bit like Jerry facing down Tom.... and then the blur happens and she just kinda stares dumbly, "Um. What was that?" she asks everyone out loud.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Not wearing her mask, Gwen looked...exactly like another club goer. One might even assume she could be just as much a potential victim as the fleeing girl headed for the door rather than the Amazing 'Ghost Spider'. Not -this- Gwen. She doesn't quite stand up to the shove in the same way Heather does, perhaps more paranoid about revealing her strength. But her foot neatly sneaks out in front of the ankle of the guy stepping past, attempting to trip the poor man -before- the sudden blur that ties laces together.

She couldn't -see- it properly, but the sensory detection of something moving that fast actually had the blonde giving a little jump of suprise...even if it wasn't immediately near her.

Landry Lugar has posed:
Landry Lugar kept the music going, and but the lights seemed to freeze where they were for a moment, before spotlights spun about the room, ending up landing on a number of the jacketed fellows. In the spotlight in the middle of the floor, the mouthy one ran into a small blonde brick wall, while the other crashed to the floor. They both caught themselves, standing and straightening their jackets, "What the hell? Get outta the way. We got business to take care of." The other finished, "Unless you'd like to be our new business?" The leer he gave was palpable.

Landry stood up then, and watched as a streak of red vanished from where the guy walking up to him was. He blinked, startled, but then started to make his way to the floor. His tall, but lanky frame not all that intimidating, but, he did have the all important 'staff' hoodie. Once he made it to the floor, "Is there a problem here?" Asked in general to guys and girls alike.

Bart was able to make a nice and tidy, not inconsiderably large pile of weapons wherever he stashed them. Those guys didn't seem to notice they'd been pilfered yet, but, they were watching the two on the dance floor, seeing if they needed to collectively jump in.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will make ihs way back inside after dumping the weapons in the garbage bins over the two nearest blocks making sure not to put the parts for one gun in any one trash can, Not wanting any kids to find this and be able to hurt themselves. He will come back inside, but finds some scaffolding or even the stairs upstairs to ake a stance on so he can look around the room. He is now in his Impulse costume.

Heather Danielson has posed:
    Popping her neck by tilting her head to the left, Heather shrugs, "Finally. Someone who doesn't recognize me. This is gonna be fun." she remarks as her lips quirk upwards into a smirk.
    But she steps right up into the face of the guy leering at her. "Your business is finished. That girl is -not- getting hurt by you or any of your friends. You hear me?" she asks.
    She seems confident and cocky about this, or.. more to the point, entirely unafraid. She doesn't have a secret ID to protect. Kinda hard to have one of those when your powers manifested on site on a photo shoot in front of dozens of crew and photographers as well as jounralists. "So. You want to -prove- your stupidity? Or just let everyone assume it?" she asks.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Okay, this was -interesting-. Gwen was relatively new to the Titans, apparently she hadn't recognized Heather either, but she recognized that sort of confidence. Things could go quite crazy, but without her mask the petite blonde wasn't quite ready to go throwing thugs across the room in the middle of a crowd.

"No way you're getting out of here before someone calls the cops," Gwen speaks up, the bubble-gum blonde moving up beside Heather and gesturing around, glancing over as Landry begins to approach. "If they haven't already. Don't go ruining my night, or your own. Just go home..."

Hey, never know. Maybe thugs might listen to reason for once!

Landry Lugar has posed:
With Bart Perched up above, he could see the dozen or more guys, still drinking and talking amongst themselves, but, everyone of them had their eyes on the two guys on the dance floor, waiting to see if they'd need to jump into the dance as well. Others on the dance floor started to clear away from the hassle that was happening in the spotlight.

"I'll show you stupid!" The big guy growled out, reaching for Heather, moving quick for a big guy, but no where near a trained fighter. The other one looked to Gwen, "You did that on purpose... Why don't you join us, huh?" He reached out as well to put a big hand on the back of her neck, wanting to pull her away unless she faught it.

Landry tried to push his way between to break it up, but, he was easily overpowered by a shove to keep him aside. His eyes narrowed on the men, "Now now, I'm going to have to ask you to leave if you keep this up." He gave a nod to Gwen, "I've already called the cops."

Heather Danielson has posed:
    Grabbing the hand that is reaching for her, Heather nods, "You're right. You sure are showing me stupid." she says as she just -squeezes-. She's as strong as Spider-Man. But even as she squeezes the hand, trying to break a finger or two, she kicks out at the guy's foot to try to shove him -completely- off balance.
    "Gwen, maybe you should call the police yourself." She remarks, "Tell them Knockout of the Titans is asking for backup."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen winces a bit as he thought the girl looked familiar. He really needs to keep track of who is on what team more. He will do something very unusual, he stays still. This can be hard for him, but he is trying right now, it seems the ladies have it under control, he keeps an eye on Landry in case he needs a hand, but waits.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Okay, she's been grabbed, a slight figure who couldn't really easily fight off one of the bikers grabbing her from behind. What could she do? She simply sidestepped, apparently warned at the last second before she shoved herself back against the man, stomped her boot down against his toe and twisted in a classic 'throw' that looked relatively normal enough, if a little flashy. She was a cop's daughter after all, that could still pass as normal, right?

"Keep your hands off me you jerk!" she makes a show of calling out, but Heather's instruction earns a blink and wide-eyes. "You're a Titan?"

Landry Lugar has posed:
"Ow ow oww ooow! That's not nice!" She broke his fingers as the biker winced in pain. He was just about to throw a punch with his free hand, when she knocked him off balance. He still threw the punch, but it smashed into Landry's shoulder instead of Heather, causing Landry to stumble again.

The one that had tried to grab Gwen went head over heals, and smashed into the ground with a heavy thud. He looked up at her, stunned and confused for a second about how he'd gotten there.

All that action was enough to get the rest of the gang in gear, and all around the club, men in matching jackets stood up, shouting, and then tripped and slammed into the floor most promptly.

The two there with the girls started fighting back in earnest. Heather's leaned back, trying to pull her forward, bringing his foot up to try to knee her in the stomach. While Gwen's tried to grab at her leg, and pull her down with him to the ground.

In all this, Landry spun, trying to right himself again. Hearing that one of the girls was a Titan, he focused on helping the other... Which she also didn't need. "There's more in the club! Watch.... Out." He called, as they all tripped in unison. "Wow... You are really good at this..." He pulled his tablet up, snapping a few pics, and maybe even taking actual notes.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will smile a bit and he will blur around the room again, making sure the guys who fell are all taken outside, He will run down the street to the local hardwear store, and grab a few rolls of duct tape leaving money for it spinning on the counter. Once back outside the bar, he goes to taping the guys together, this ones writs to that one's foot, this ones shoulder to that one's calf. He makes a bit of a human version of monkeys in a barrel of them before coming back in and takes a seat on a table to watch the girls. Where did he get the popcorn?

Heather Danielson has posed:
    "Seriously?" mutters Heather as the guy just doesn't quit. She shakes her head, "What part of Titans did you not get?"
    She just ignores the guy, to the point where she doesn't even -feel- him trying to pull her forward. She doesn't bend at all... but allows the knee to strike her in the gut. A rib breaks, and she shakes her head as it snaps back into place.
    "Please tell me you're finished now." She states before... The Amazing Duct Tape Massacre begins.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Compered to Heather's actions, Gwen was making a more deliberate effort to make it look like she -didn't- know what she was doing, stepping back from the grabbing at her ankles with almost the same precision as footwork to a dance, just intermingled with a little 'shriek' she was putting on to play the part of some panicing teen.

A panicing teen that just happened to 'flail' a kick right into the nose of the guy trying to grab at her boots.

Unlucky, right?

Landry Lugar has posed:
Moans and groans from the guys outside as they are duct taped together in strange and potentially embarassing ways. Pics are taken by those in line outside. A good time is had by everyone else out there.

Inside, Heather is putting on a show, as everything the guy does seems to be useless. "I'm not finished till I say I'm finished!" He growled out, reaching into a pocket and pulling a big knife, swiping to make distance from her as he started to circle them.

The guy on the ground covered his nose as it errupted in blood, broken from boot to the face! He shouted, fully expecting backup to dog pile the girls, and looked around, realizing none of his guys were left around. "I wont forget this!" He yelled, voice distorted a bit from the gurgling of the blood that was dripping. He slipped away towards the door, leaving knife boy all on his lonesome against the Titan.

Landry continued taking his pictures, and messing with the lights, and taking notes, obviously a talented multitasker. "Oh you are soo screwed..." He mused aloud, watching the guy circle Heather, getting it all on camera. "This is so much easier than when I have to try to throw guys out myself..."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will run over to the bar, getting a couple of bottles of water and comes back to stand next to Gwen "You ok miss?" He asks her offering her a bottle of water, as he has one for Heather as well, but holds it waiting for her "Well dang where did he have that hid, I thought, I got al those. Don't let him tough ya with that Knockout, it is probably nasty where he was hiding it.

Heather Danielson has posed:
    "Oh thanks." says Heather with a smile. She reaches out and picks up the water glass and doesn't bother trying to evade the knife. In fact, she crowds the guy while drinking. She gets cut, but by the time the knife has finished cutting her, the slice is mostly healed already.
    She has a mental image of Tom drinking water and leaking water out of bullet holes. But, after she gulps it down and gets cut, she says, "I -liked- that top!" Even as she reaches up and smashes the water glass over the guy's head.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
There was a camera on her, a knife coming for Heather and little Gwen can do about it. She makes to lash out...but the lack of avoidance and everything else the other blonde had tanked? That had her hesitating. That and...a sudden speedster beside her had her blinking. "Huh?" a turn of her head, then there's the slash...and she's fine. Whew.

Well, Landry was getting a show, but as Heather smashes the bottle atop the man's head? Gwen finally moves forward and kicks out at the man's shin. It looked clumsy, but with her strength? It'll hurt like hell.

Landry Lugar has posed:
Landry Lugar looked over, seeing Impulse there, handing water to who he's now looked up his Heather Danielson, better known as Knockout from the Titans. "Oh wow... This is so cool." Lights focused on the three dealing with the bad guys, making the pics Landry took just perfect. "The guys in class are never gonna believe this without the pics." He grinned.

The knife guy swung and missed? Oh no. He cut. He saw the blood. Her shirt was definitely messed up now. He pulled back, ready to shoot the knife forward and stab her in the chest. That's when Gwen kicked the guys shin, all but breaking the bone, and when the glass smashed over his head, his eyes rolled back in his head. He crumpled to the floor where he'd been standing a moment before.

Heather Danielson has posed:
    "I tried to talk him down." says Heather sadly as she shakes her head, "Thanks for the help Gwen. That was very brave of you. I assume you've dealt with the rest fast dude?" She asks as she turns and lifts her brows, the cut fully healed now, but more of her tummy exposed.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "Impulse, and yea, they are all in the parking lot, they won't be going anywhere for a while." He tells them. I just happen to be passing by and saw some trouble so thought I would lend a hand "

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Without her mask, Gwen probably needed to be out of here sooner rather than later. Biting her bottom lip, the woman gives a little nod of her head and a smile. "Thanks," she offers Heather a little sheepish grin, already shifting a little to make a step backwards. "Next time...maybe a drink and a dance rather than dealing with jerks would be the better option to go for." A nod to Impulse, then to Landry, she needed to get out of here before she was on film more than she already was!

Landry Lugar has posed:
Landry Lugar made sure to get pics of Impulse and Gwen and Heather, and some of them together and all. "Yeah, you did. No worries, I mean, I've got it all on video here, and the club security as well, you know, in case of any legal stuff, or whatever. You two are amazing!" He said with a grin, and then looked to Gwen, "And the way you threw that guy! Was just like... judo WHAAG!" He poorly mimed the motion. "So awesome..." They were giving names. He took notes. "If you want, I can get a round of drinks for us. Hopefully this doesn't ruin your night out! Soo cool to have actual heroes in the house... I'll have to get more gigs here." They probably couldn't tell which parts was him talking to himself, or talking to any of them.

Heather Danielson has posed:
    Half-sensing Gwen's desire to be elsewhere, Heather steps up to try to cover for her by doing the tried-n-true model tactic of hogging the spotlight. She gives a big smile and begins trying to halfway -perform- here as she starts describing things in detail, but also she asks, "What happened to the other girl who was trying to get away?" she asks.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and says "Actually I don't know, think we should go looking for her, I mean she could not have gotten far, I am sure, we could do a search in just a moment, or should we just let her go?'

Landry Lugar has posed:
Landry Lugar blinked, "Other girl?... Oh... I ah... I can check the camera footage? It wont show more than just the parking lot outside though." He messed with his tablet, trying to scroll back through the security feed from the club. Landry showed them what he could find.

The girl was on the cameras inside the club, showing her making her way to the front door everyone had come in. But the cameras outside didn't show her leaving. The next thing the cameras showed outside was the gang of guys being duct taped into a katamari bad guy ball.

"Huh... That's weird... Where'd she go?...."
