Jetliner Sonic Boom and a Walk in the Park

by Maxwell Lorentz

We all got word that something was going on at the airport. A flight had come in from Mexico with what appeared to be a bounty hunter on board who was looking for someone in particular. We were able to determine that the person was related to our local neighborhood police officer Rogers, who we met during a previous encounter.
 
When we arrived on scene, Wildthing moved to the plane while I kept a couple Viper agents in shock next to their portable cannon. I also noticed another figure that knocked a separate group of agents down and away from their cannon. Not someone I recognized as he was wearing a full face covering.
 
A couple of the Viper air support took note of me and began firing on me. I was able to take them off the board with a couple of charged particles. By this time, the additional figure had moved toward the plane that Wildthing was in, and I no longer saw active hostiles on the field.
 
Wildthing had made it to the plane but had discovered a woman inside was going into labor. I teleported up to the plane and began teleporting her to the hospital, which took me out of the fray for a bit. I was able to drop off the woman at the local emergency room. All atoms in their proper place.
 
I was focusing on getting back quickly, but the chatter on comms seemed chaotic. A separate unknown was apparently trying to get someone off the plane. By the time I had returned, things had played out and move Viper were on their way with the heavy artillery, so we vacated the scene. Cypher was able to take control of the Viper vehicle that was transport
Additional radio communication that was off proper frequency directed us to a position directly under this gate-like structure at the Hart Plaza downtown using cryptic messaging to give us coordinates. Wildthing, Sandcrab, Cypher and I showed up, not exactly sure what to expect.
 
I approached the structure and found a posterboard with the information about the airport incident. Wildthing jumped to me and took the posterboard from me and took a photo and sent it to Socrates. It was around this time that three supers from the Ultimates showed up, although I only noted a couple of them at first. One flew out of a nearby building and another came from the street down the way from me. Wildthing pointed this out to me and then jumped into the trees, not to be seen again by me.
 
The one that came towards me wanted me to surrender and I signaled “no” by blinding and deafening him. Sandcrab appeared to have the other one in hand, so I continued to focus on my target. My target flew back and away from me, apparently effected by my power, so I advanced and attempted to tase him, which only briefly held him as he blasted his way out easily. He continued his move away from me, so I blinded him again. At this point, as the person we were to meet here was obviously not here, and a fight would not really gain us anything, it was decided to leave the battle. I began a group teleport as Stevie (Cypher’s floating robot) came up to me. It was at this time that one of the Ultimates came out of the I had seen earlier flew out of the amphitheater pit and point his large gun at me and Stevie as we faded from his site, leaving the battle.
