Rocket Research

by Jerry J. Vahn

Things have happened fairly quickly since I joined The New Champions.
 
I've learned a lot about being a 'superhero'. The media calls us terrorists. Little do they realize who the real terrorists are.
 
Anyway, I found that my original designs were fairly well thought out, but a bit on the light side.
 
So, I've been spending time in a lab working on new ideas and designs, then time in the 'danger room' working on attacks and trying to improve myself to be more help to the team.
 
I was working on learning how to adjust my magnetic signature to be able to move though 'solid' objects.
 
At first, I really had to concentrate, and it took me some time to achieve the correct resonance.
 
Sandcrab, Dragon Lady, Hot Shot and I did a session together. The magnetic resonance came in handy, up to a point. It kept Sandcrab from squeezing the life out of me. But it sure didn't protect me when he knocked me for a loop de loop and through a wall. That really hurt, alot.
 
Since the loss of the Xplore plane, I've been trying to figure out a way to get most or all of the team into or out of combat quickly.
 
I've been playing around with it in the danger room and have finally learned how to create a magnetic bubble that allows me to move the team quickly, and I think I have figured out how to move us all safely without having to worry about running into things.
 
It will take some more testing before I'll offer it up to the team.
 
I stumble out of the lab that I am using at Homestead, and I am feeling a bit confused. When was the last time I ate anything. I'm not sure. I go looking for the kitchen......
