Owner	Pose
Terry O'Neil	"And over there, of course, is Belvedere Castle, which not only looks pretty, but it's Central Park's official weather station!" The Cheshire cat grins at his phone, which has been set in 'selfie' mode and has been streaming for a bit. The shot has been arranged to show the castle in the distance, over his right shoulder. "Now, I can't say for sure if a princess lives there or not, but I've occasionally spotted Troia hanging out there, so- coincidence?I think not!" It is a nice, bright evening as the sunset approaches after a clear summer day. The wind teases the treetops. "In any case, that's it for my share of favorite places in the park for today. See you in a few days for..." he leans in and grins "my /super/ secret hangout spot. Vorpal out!" It was nice, having control of the Cheshire form after Gar having it for so long. The feline looks around, very noticeable in his uniform, which is why he chose to film while sitting up on a high branch in one of the trees. It's enough of a camouflage, for now, as he doesn't quite feel up to people coming up to him and requesting selfies, autographs... or getting insulted. It's what you get when you put on the tights and then go fight crime. He lets out a relaxed breath an instead takes in the ambience, and the park, and the people out for a stroll. It was a nice day. So far.
Bart Allen	Bart Allen spotted Terry's posting and decided he would come check in on his friend, once he gets a rough idea where the other is it just takes a moment or three to search the park. The blur that is Impulse zooms around for a moment, and then stops at one of the food stands, and then he is off again, this time up the tree that Terry is in, but on another branch "Want a pretzel?" He will ask as he sorta appears there.
Xiomara Rojas	Summertime, when most kids are out playing games, swimming, getting into trouble. For Crush, the decision to take more hours with the O'Connail construction company had seemed the most logical choice. She could make some extra money through the summer to help out through the next school year. It had become something of a habit that after working, she jump by Central Park to walk through the green in an attempt to help keep her calm. Working on that calm and pulling her strength to avoid hurting people and objects, were always on her mind. Wasn't easy to beat back the natural Czarnian rage, but she was starting to find little thing that helped. Just coming from work, she wore a pair of black denim pants with an aqua colored tank top tucked at the waist. A pair of sturdy work boots are laced in place on her feet. Wrapped around her waist like belt is a thick black chain, and tucked into it, hanging down her side, it the pale blue work shirt she would normally have on while working. It was probably just luck that her walk took her past the tree Terry was in, just as Bart comes to a stop and offers a pretzel. She blinks in confusion, then looks up and ahs. "Okay, that explains that," she offers as a sort of grunt. "Evenin." is then offered to Terry and Bart alike.
Mark Grayson	A yellow and blue streak sails through the air, cutting through evening skies. "Hello New York City!!" Invincible cries out as he flies across the heavens. No one tries to shoot him, but a few people call out to him in cheer. Some in sneer. But Mark continues on his venture in the sky, but what does he see there? Some Titans sitting in a tree and a Czarnian? What the heck is a Czarnian? It sounds awesome. Invincible comes down to a float just a few feet above the ground. "Hey guys, enjoying the greenerie? I personally think that tree over there is way-" A heavy mallet of a fist strikes Invincible across the jaw and sends him skidding across the green ground of the park until he settles on his upper back. "better..." He groans with a wince. "Think I hit him hard enough?" Asks one of the Mauler Twins. "Pretty hard." Asks the other. THe pair of blue muscle-giants look at the others in challenge. "Well? Are you heroes too?"
Terry O'Neil	"Oh, hey, speedstreak," Vorpal grins and takes the pretzel offered, not seemingly surprised that the speedster showed up. He's pretty savvy on social media, "How's my other favorite speedster doing? Did you notice? We match now!" he points to his new red-and-white costume, and gestures to Bart's. A voice from below has him glancing down and waving at Xiomara, until- Yellow, black and blue. "Oh wow, that's one sleek costume," Vorpal says as he gives the pretzel a munch, "Why didn't I think of that color scheme?" As Invincible comes within hailing distance of the Titans, the Cheshire holds up a hand to wave and start friendly banter, when it is rudely interrupted by someone clocking the guy. "Of-fucking-course," the Cheshire grumbles as he tosses the pretzel into a Rabbit Hole that has his refrigerator as a destination, "The /minute/ I get a snack, some two-bit losers with a grudge show up." Vorpal leaps off the tree, somersaults in the air and lands in a perfect three-point landing, his tail lashing in the air behind him as he grins. "Looks like Tweedle-Twee and Tweedle-Dumb are looking for battle. Did my friend over there break your rattle? You've tussled with the tights So now we'll have a fight And not all the king's horses nor all the king's men Will put you back together again. Titans, Together!" He pauses and glances at the two brutes. "So that last line doesn't rhyme. Bite me."
Xiomara Rojas	There was the question, one that Crush had been asked in the past and immediately had a snark response to. Are you a hero? She'd never considered herself to be one, in spite of her abilities, but recent events had started to change that. Full disclosure, Madison had started to change it, and then the Titans added to it. Just a month ago those blue muscle-giants would have gotten a snarked out, 'No.'. Now however, the answer was different. From around her waist the black chain seems to come to life, spinning up and out like a long black snake, on each end a diamond shaped spike forms. It doesn't immediately move beyond rising up like tentacles from Crushes waist, it waits. The Titans were a team, and though she wasn't officially a member of that team, she was training with them and so was Obelus. So her first reaction was to keep the chain from openly attacking as she looked to Terry to see what he intended to do. Apparently Richard's words had sunk in, that one must think before they act. She didn't know this guy that just got himself punched across the grass, but she still fully intended to assist him one way or another. Since Terry sprung into action, the decision was made that she would as well. "Going right!" she announces, and even as she does Obelus shoots out from her like a bullet from a gun in an attempt to tangle the right blue brute's legs up. The purpose of this was to get him held down, so that when Crush moves forward far faster than someone her size should be able to move, and went for an upper cut punch with only moderately pulled strength, the blue brute would have no where to go and have to take the punch to the jaw.
Bart Allen	Bart Allen seems to have a bit of same idea Crush does, but he is more working to stumble them both up. He zooms down and will unlace their shoes a bit till he can tie them together so when one moves it will pull on the others feet and vice versa. He zooms next to Terry and says "How about and here comes the pain?" He asks trying to help the other man rhyme. "And I like the color scheme works for you, think there two are fixing to go from Black to Black and Blue. Be right back." He says and zooms over to check on Mark "You ok? Here let me get ya back over to the fight." He will offer to zoom Mark back over.
Mark Grayson	The Mauler Twins were no joke. Super smart. Super Strong. All Mauler. "Woah, they got toys." Says one of the Maulers. "Should we show 'em ours?" asks the other. "Yeah." Replies the first. They both draw, as if from space, a large gatling gun. .50 caliber rounds. "Show us what you got!" They were a team. They acted in tandem. Bart was moving to unlace their shoes. Only...their stronger than the composition of their clothes. It's not enough to attack the weakness of their bodies with their own clothing. Bart, however, is /very/ fast and it's difficult for them to hit him with bullets. Fortunately for them, Xiomara and Terry are easier to hit. They start unloading on the pair of them. Bullets likely won't do much to Xiomara. The chain is far more effective than shoelaces, and the one on the right starts to stumble, only to get punched with upper cut strength. "Ow..." Mutters. "You can punch hard! My turn." He tries to punch her right back. Terry moved into action, and the one on the left started to shot at him. "I love Alice in Wonderland!" Invincible opens his eyes to Bart. "Hey man. Thanks. No worries, I'm okay. You're pretty fast though. So how about we do a pincer thing? Hit them from multiple angles?"
Terry O'Neil	"I have a fan!" Vorpal says as the twin begins firing on him, "Let me return the compliment!" At the speed of thought, an enormous glowing shield materializes in front of him. The magical construct doesn't quite look /right/ to the naked eye, like a neon sign with some serious chromatic aberration going on. The construct protects the Cheshire from the bullets, and his sensitive ears twitch as he hears the conversation between Invincible and Impulse. They were hatching a plan, so it was the Cheshire's job to be a good team-mate and provide the distraction necessary to make their pincer attack a surprise. Which meant one thing: Time to be the center of attention to let the other two play sneaky sneaky flanky strike. Magical illusion powers kicking in, the Cheshire seems to emerge from behind the shield, growing and growing like a feline version of Czernoborg in 'Fantasia', wicked grin almost ear to ear, eyes flaming with purple chaos magic. "Is that the best you've got, little man?" the Cheshire bellows, growing as tall as a tree, "What a pathetic display!Off with his head!" That should be distraction enough, he hopes.
Xiomara Rojas	At one point in time Obelus held Lobo in place, so Crush was pretty sure she could hold this blue brute in place as well, which permitted her to find out that pulling her punches weren't required. "Look out," she screams out as the bullets start flying. The presence of guns changes her tactics. The bullets bounce off her, but Terry, Bart and the other guy? She had no idea. Side stepping slightly to only get grazed across the face by the blue brute's punch, she goes for the gun instead of the being himself. It might be that the weapon is just as hard and sturdy as the being wielding, or it could just be a weapon. Her plan was to not only put herself between the one gun and block the bullets from getting past her, but also to break the weapon while it's still in the blue brutes hands. Trying to take it away would likely be futile, but breaking it with a full powered punch? That might do the trick. "Play fair, stick to punching," she taunts as she aims her fist for the center of the gun. "Or don't, and keep it interesting for me."
Bart Allen	Bart Allen nods a bit to Mark and says "Yea, I'm sorta fast." He smiles and will nod to him about the plan "Ok, I got the right you got the left, and then we switch?" He asks, as he figures to help keep them confused. Once he knows Invincible is on board with the plan he will head towards the one not engaged by Crush, He starts hammering the brother all over, his fists not super strong, heck not even max human, but he does punch over a hundred times a second. So kidneys, knees, box the ears, give him a wet willy, and if possible a wedgie, and then he calls out "Switch," and moves towards the other to give him similar experiences.
Mark Grayson	Mark just /smiles/ at Bart. "You bet." and he flies on over while Bart runs. He keeps pace for only a few seconds, but Bart was just faster and Invincible was unwilling to tear apart the park just to get at these guys. It's a sacred treasure of the state! Central Park was famous. Barts blows do wonders against the Mauler Twin, who swats at him to no avail. "Puny fly!" he growls in rage, trying to swat at him as such but he misses each time. The wet willy makes him angry. "STAND STILL AND LET ME HIT YOU!" 'Switch!' Invincible comes in like a speeding bullet, punching the Twin with enough power to send him up and off of his feet and onto the ground. "Quick, restrain him!" He calls out to Terry, as if he had the talents to hold him there. Does he? If he can turn huge, he can totally conjure up some restraints. Xiomara is going to /work/ on the other Mauler twin, assisted by Bart. He watches as the Chesire makes magical constructs to stop the bullets. "Damn magician!" He growns, though the transformation of the cat makes him ditch the gun...but it was broken by Xiomara first! "Come here you little shit!" He starts swinging for the fences at Xiomara!
Terry O'Neil	To those who don't know him, it's easy to mistake the Cheshire's illusions for actual effects. This is why Vorpal  never speaks about his powers in publicand lets people speculate. It's easier to act when enemies don't know what to expect. Nobody, probably, was expecting that Vorpal's notion of 'restraining' would involve a Rabbit Hole opening under the fallen Twin, and one a few feet above him, so that the criminal would find himself in a perpetual freefall thanks to the combined portals. "I love it when a fan just falls for me, don't you?" the Cheshire says, dismissing the illusion and the shield, hands on his hips as he advances towards Impulse and Invincible. Glancing towards the other twin being currently fought with, he ponders as to whether he should lend a hand and shoot the falling twin out of another Rabbit Hole to collide with the standing one... or if he should let the Czarnian kick the shit out of him. He decides to wait. Shooting the Twin indiscriminately could easily hit the pale girl just as easily as it could hit the thug. Better save the old Weaponized Baddie trebuchet trick in case the other twin managed to get the upper hand in combat. It didn't look likely he would, though. "That was an excellent bit of teamwork there," he says to Invincible and Impulse. While keeping an eye on the continuing fight, he holds out a hand to Mark. "Vorpal. And this speedy fellow needs no introduction, of course. Impulse. And that's-" he glances over at the fight, and winces. "Did he just call her a little shit? Oh this is gonna hurt."
Xiomara Rojas	Now this is what Crush was made for. She had spent years fighting in underground arenas against metahumans, mutants and even some magically enhanced beings. Many times she won, some she lost, but what she learned is that once you throw your opponent into the rage she normally has to deal with, you're already winning. "Poor baby, did I break your gun? Come and get me!" She taunts, dipping and dodging the swings, while attempting to get in a few punches of her where the blue brute leaves himself open. All the while she is taking small steps back, as if trying to move away from him, but they aren't big enough to be actual attempts to escape. She gets hit a few times herself, make no mistake of that, but she seems to just brush it off like the guy is tickling her. "Come on, you gotta do better than that!" She adds to the taunting, but even as she is, Obelus grows thicker and longer, then begins wrapping herself further up the blue brute's legs and body. The two diamond shaped spikes on the end whip around at the last minute, pointed right at his face, then move in to stab at him. "Uh oh, you kinda forgot something dude," is her final taunt, hoping that enough steps back and his anger would cause him to try and follow, and with Obelus holding him, would cause him to fall face first into the grass. If he does go down, that is when she starts kicking him in the head repeatedly, holding back no strength at all. "Call me a little shit you blue piece of..." the rest of the rant is likely lost to mutters and possible screaming.
Bart Allen	Bart Allen will move to help Crush, but seems she has it under control, after the third or fourth kick to the head, he will wince, and moves to grab her while she has one foot in the air, and move her away from the down bad guy. He planned on taking her a bit away, but only gets her about six foot or so, she is a lot denser than he expected. Once he has her set down, he is huffing and panting a bit. He looks over to Xiomara, and will wonders never cease, he does not make a comment about her being heavier than she looks in fact, he tries to pass off the panting "Man running after cheesy pretzel." He does make sure he is outside of Crush's step and punch radius.
Mark Grayson	Invincible totally offers Bart a high five. "Good work man." He looks at Terry then as he makes a rabbit hole, watching the Mauler end up in perpetual, permanent freefall until the rabbil hole is removed or he's teleported elsewhere. Physics is still a thing, so the longer he falls, the faster he falls, which means the more force he falls with. "Wow, that seems a little messed up." Invincible adds to Terry. "Oh, nice to meet you two. I'm-" INVINCIBLE. Mark shakes Vorpal's hand and he gives Bart a friendly smile. He looks to the now angry Czarnian as she just beats the holy piss out of the other Mauler twin. They brawl for a bit, for certain, and it looks like neither of them has a clear advantage over the other...until Obelus comes into play. The chain wraps the brutes legs and the Mauler Twin barely notices...until he drops flat on his face in front of the victorious Xiomara. "Wow, great job!" calls Mark.
Terry O'Neil	"Don't worry, I'll slow him down when it's time to give him up to the authorities," Vorpal grins. "It's fun. I just change the Rabbit Hole so he shoots out up from one end and the momentum carries him hiiiiiiiiiiiigh up into the sky. And when he reaches the point where he's stopped completely before he starts falling back again, open a Rabbit Hole under him and drop him on his ass to the ground. By that point, they've usually wet their pants." He looks at Invincible. "Love your suit, you're going to have to tell me who your tailor is. I'm always on the market for new looks!" At one point, he and Supergirl had a contest going to see who had the most costume changes. Everybody has lost the tally by now. "Looks like that's two down for the count..." he taps his comm, "Hey, Monitor Duty people, need a dispatch to apprehend two super-strong metahumans. Of course it's in Central Park. Something's /always/ going on in Central Park. Sure thing. We'll hold them." He glances at the free-falling thug, "Hey! Stop screaming or I'll shoot you into the castle." No he won't. That castle is a /landmark/, for crying out loud. He leans in and says quietly, "... I think I remember you getting added to the 'web' at one point, or am I thinking of someone else?" The Cheshire points towards one of his eyes, while with the other he makes the gesture Spidey usually makes when shooting webs. He wears the contact lens variation of the lenses, as he doesn't have a mask, proper.
Xiomara Rojas	How it was that Obelus decides what is dangerous, such as the blue brute, and what isn't, such as Bart moving Crush away, remains unknown. The chain appeared to do what it wanted, when it wanted, but Crush knew that truth of it. Bart had no intent of hurting her, so Obelus wouldn't see him as a threat. Now that the blue brute was unconscious however, the chain unwrapped herself from him, slithered across the grass to Crush and re-wrapped herself around the Czarnian's waist. Once again just long enough to be a belt, one wrap around her ward's body. All that is happening while Crush releases a string of angry obsenties out into the universe, before turning on Bart and just staring at him. It almost looks like she will hit him, but after a ten count she instead says, "Thanks. Kinda lost it there." Now she looks to Invincible and Terry with an almost innocent expression on her face. "What? I didn't kill him." Then she shrugs slightly and offers to Mark, "I'm Crush." because introductions are the polite way you greet someone you just met and curb stomped a bad guy for.
Bart Allen	Bart Allen looks over to Crush "No problem." He will tell her, and is off and back with bottles of water for everyone offering them each one in turn, and then to Invincible, he says "Impulse." introducing himself and looks back to Crush. "Your belt is alive? I would like to talk to you about that sometime."
Mark Grayson	With the Mauler twins down, the heroes may bask in their victory! "Confidential, Vorpal, or I'd tell you. Tailors are like magicians: nobody knows their secrets." Invincible smiles at him but he looks at himself. "Thanks! Took a lot of creative thinking." His suit was...well, his suit. It was the perfect kind of suit for him. Though he hears Vorpal call in Monitor Duty people and he smirks. "Wow, didn't know they were on call." He usually just trusts Cecil to handle cleanup. "Think we'll end up on the news?" He asks nobody in particular, but he looks at Xiomara and he couldn't help but smile. "Remind me not to upset her." He asides mainly to Bart. "It's totally cool." He tells Xiomara. "Nice to meet you, Crush. Cool name." He compliments her.
