Stealing M.I.T.

M.I.T....

Top scientists at MIT had been researching new technologies, including the development of software which could handle pan-dimensional level calculations.  The projected applications had been hailed as revolutionary by the likes of Tony Stark and Reed Richards...

Which made it the perfect target for the continuing crimes of the Lethal Legion.   Sabertooth, the Owl, the Radioactive Man, and Mentallo had been sent to retrieve it.

The attack quickly made the news.

Fortunately, the local super-heroes, the New Mutants, were not far away in New Jersey...

"Or not, because, you know, strobe light... ooh, infrared. That's spicy, although gamma is my favorite. Kinda like jello, there's always room for gamma rays!"

Sara began melting and cracking the concrete directly behind her opponent.

He took another step back, stopping.

"Putting out... a lot of... rads... girl," he hissed. "Your own energy is... tasty..."

The strobe light vanished as he absorbed it. "I think... I've gotten... your... measure."

"You think? I haven't even gotten started yet."

Sara had been sizing him up through all this banter, too. That containment suit was awkward, and it restricted his vision. She didn't think he knew what was going on behind him, and she didn't think he'd see what was coming next, either, until it was too late.

She created a wedge of hard light just in front of his boots, then pushed it forward and upward under his feet.

"Augh!" The wedge knocked him forward, but not before he unleashed a wild, unfocused blast of radiation.

Sara concentrated and pulled that radiation into herself, rising a little higher and glowing.

"Thanks for the boost!"

The concrete around the Radioactive Man bubbled and liquefied as she poured more infrared heat on, leaving a solid island a few inches larger than his body for him to "float" on.

He let out a growl of frustration as he slowly got back to his feet, absorbing some of the infrared radiation.

"I... might not have... as many... fancy tricks... but I... can do this... all day..."

He started actively siphoning the radiation as she was putting it out.

"Are you sure? Because you don't look so good. We really don't have to do this at all, you know."

Sara kept going, breaking down the concrete into molten sludge as fast as she could without ionizing it... and creating a bigger problem.
