Villainy without Pier!

[ngm_lethal_legion1]

Pier Four, headquarters to the World Famous Future Foundation!  A place of science and learning, pushing the boundaries of tomorrow...TODAY!  But today, science has come under attack!  The forces of wickedness have been secreted into the building by parties unknown, using powerful teleportation technology!

The Dreadknight, ghost bound to a suit of living armor, with his enchanted sword and shield stalked the halls...

The Blizzard, master of molecular motion and captain of cold, left a frosty path through the building...

Electro, the vampy villianness of volts, sizzled through the corridors....

Cardiac, beta-powered punisher of heroes, wielder of wicked weaponry that served as a conduit for his energy, made his own way through the labs...

And Boomrang, master markman and tricky tosser, prowled the building....

All of them searching for something... and all of them ready for trouble...

The explosion was large, finally knocking the door off it's hinges, and allowing Boomerang to enter. He automatically assumed anyone inside was toast, so he walked in with his guard down as the smoke began to clear.

The lab table wasn't going to do her much good as cover for longer, so Katie applied her disintegration power to it, storing enough energy in her body to acquire a bit of a glow.

When she was certain she had a clear shot, she let fly an energy globe.

Indeed! Dr. Powers had a clear shot, and it hit Boomerang right in the gut. he was knocked back a few steps, but recovered. He took out a rather sharp looking boomerang, and tossed it in her direction. If she was not careful, Dr. powers could lose her head!

"Shit!"

Katie well backwards, dodging out of the way. As it was, the blade nicked her shoulder, drawing a thin red line. Not for nothing had she been fighting aliens since she was five.

The boomerang return to him, and was caught with ease. He continued to grin, seeing the red line along Dr. Powers shoulder. Without another word, he tossed the boomerang once more, again trying to remove Dr. Powers from the equation,

Fortunately, Katie was low enough now that dodging was easier.

She had enough power for another shot, so she fired one off.

This last shot was more powerful than the last! It sent Boomerang flying across the room and against one of the metal panels of the lab. A shelf above him came crashing down on his head, almost in a comical fashion (if this were not a battle of life and death). The man was down for the count.

Katie slowly got to her feet.

"Dammmit...," she said. "I'm supposed to be retired from this crap."
