Umbridge High School Building, Saturday Evening

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

There were some clouds hanging around the spires of Umbridge High School, but not enough; there was an overlaying sense that there shouldn't be as much sunlight shining down on it as there was.

It was quiet. Kind of. There was tension in the air, a wound-up strung-up thing that ensnared the school. Somehow it seemed as if even the birds didn't want to touch down on the building itself, and the gates seemed to fold into themselves, even if they weren't quite shut.

And all that on a weekend, too.

[[ wait for the ocd up! ]]

Across the School

For any other things going on in the school concurrently with everything else.

Re: Across the School - HULK SMASH OUT OF DETENTION

[xxlstretchpants.livejournal.com]

At the base of a wall there was a trembling and a crash followed by blur of giant green figure as it punched it's way onto the school grounds.

"HULK SMASH!"

That of course was pretty obvious.

As obvious as the gaping hole left behind him that anyone could use for escape.

[Separate thread from the breakout so I don't usurp any of the fighting in that thread. Feel free to use as an exit point or a place to confront the escapees.]

The Hulk was followed out of Detention and across the grounds by a blonde with a gun who was quickly covering any potential ambush points by loyalists.

And for any Madri that were trying to get in their way, well, a few of them died messily and in pain, until the feel of the unfamiliar firearm became second nature. The rest would have the honor of reintroducing Hunter Dojima's talent at headshots while moving.

April was completely taking that opportunity, thank you. Raising her eyebrows at the Hulk in a gesture meant to convey thanks, she ducked through the hole and -- at her normal, unhurried pace -- headed for her apartment.

It was a good thing she'd never gotten that Venus Fly Trap she wanted. It would so be dead by now.

Something much smaller, less green, and less loud was hurled out of the hole not long after.

Tim rolled with the impact and came back up in a crouch, ignoring the pain. He fired blast after blast back into the room.

Scent of Heather followed after him, striding purposefully an inch or two above the ground. The blasts of his sword bounced harmlessly off her shield.

With a wave of her hand, she caused the sword to fly from his, then she fired a fireball at him.

Stark had been hanging back. In part because even though he was fairly certain Kitty and the others were real, he wasn't convinced they were really getting out. And in part because he wanted to stay as far from the green man as possible.

But now he just wanted to be outside, even if the very idea of outside was almost overwhelming at this point.

Someone forgot to hit Post Comment, apparently.

Clint knew the resistance was getting kind of feisty, but to actually succeed in breaking people out of detention? That was too much, and Clint was running around in the hope of rounding up anyone he could get his hands on, to put them back... somewhere. Look, he'd figure out that part of the plan when he got to it, okay?

[For anyone who wants to interact with or fight Clint, pre-arranged or not! SP warning for 3-8pm Eastern.]

Eve had managed to get across the school somehow, she still wasn't completely sure how she'd managed that one but she wasn't friggin' questioning it.

She did, however, come to a stop when she saw Clint. Well, well, this could be interesting.

She also started banking a fireball spell in her mind, which would give her approximately thirty seconds to finish it with a single word.

Re: Across the School

[hehasheart.livejournal.com]

Clint's eyes narrowed as he spotted Eve, and he moved into a defensive stance. "Stop where you are," he said. "Come along with me quietly, and no one will get hurt."

Re: Across the School

[dontphasemebro.livejournal.com]

Kitty wasn't doing much in the way of fighting, though she was more than happy to jump in where needed. But when there were a bunch of people who'd been trapped and tortured for a long time who were getting to escape and they could finally use their powers...

....then it was probably safer just to stay intangible and make sure everyone got out.

Re: Across the School

[hehasheart.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was probably safer, because Clint was stalking down the hallway with his bow in hand, looking for the cause of all this madness and wondering if he could just fire into detention and deal with the mess later.

Re: Across the School

[xxlstretchpants.livejournal.com]

There was a roar and then a sudden shaking of the ground as the giant green monstrosity landed in front of puny bow and arrow man.

He stood there glaring at him before letting out a roar of anger.

Re: Across the School

[hehasheart.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, this was exactly what Clint wanted to run into.

"Easy there, big guy," he said calmly. "I'm not going to hurt you." Mainly because he wasn't sure if he had any arrowheads in his quiver that could take the Hulk down. "Just get out of my way."

Re: Across the School

There were a lot of troopers who would not be making it to the school to help out the loyalists. A fair number of Madri as well.

Turns out they didn't multiply if you shot them fatally. Headshots usually worked.

Re: Across the School

[drippingred.livejournal.com]

The school was like a kicked anthill. About that level of broken, too, with how much the Hulk was breaking everything. Natasha was doing her best to avoid the big guy as she hurried through the halls, directing traffic toward safety where she could, but mainly looking for one person.

Re: Across the School

Karla ran up beside Clint. They'd...bonded...a bit on the roof and she knew he was suffering just as much from the curse as she was. Hopefully, she'd be able to take him out of the fight before any of the other members of the Resistance took him out for good.

"Kiss kiss," she called. Hopefully he still thought she was a Loyalist.

[I know Clint has a date with a red-head! All set for her plan to not work.]

Re: Across the School - Somewhere Between Detention and the Security Office

Cara would have avoided today's battle in detention even if she didn't have another objective today, since that she enough resistance members weren't aware of her true loyalties that she didn't want to be taken out by her own side.

As it was, she was keeping an eye out for both Bo and any stray escapees who needed directing out of the building.

Occasionally she eyed the barely noticeable lump under her leathers where she'd tied the amulet Kenzi had given her the previous around her wrist (since wearing it as a necklace would have both drawn attention and risked it being torn off).

Re: Across the School - Somewhere Between Detention and the Security Office

[nonookie4you.livejournal.com]

Bo could provide both escapee and Bo-ness for that kept-out eye, as she stalked away from Detention on the track of a full-size posse... of traitorous gremlins.

Not that she had enough control right now to be able to stop reaching for the tiny green glow within the chattering, scrabbling mob that skittered down the hallway before her even if they hadn't demonstrated their loyalties by jumping between her and a band of human detainees, but feeling righteous about it did make the meal taste all the sweeter.

Effy had learned over the years, how to lay low. Lurking in the shadows was a speciality, actually. But today, she was guarding, while lurking.

... Or at least, she wasn't going out of her way to bring the fight to her.

She could be found slouching in a doorway, her hand on a taser in her pocket, just watching for anyone who might be trying to sneak out her way. Whether she would actually tase someone, remained to be seen. It was entirely likely she would get distracted.

"Hi," Frank said cheerfully enough. He wasn't really interested in fighting either, but this girl looked quiet. Maye she could be reasoned with? "Remind me what side you're on? All these faces, you know..."

Re: Across the School

[waveagreenflag.livejournal.com]

The bees were mostly out of the fight sadly, but there were still plenty of mosquitos, birds and frogs (joined now by a family of skunks and a badger) and chickens and things rarin' to go.

Two swallows bore Robin aloft, holding onto his arms until they reached the battlefield, then they dropped them off.

Robin looked around, unhappy with the carnage, but unafraid.

"Now what?" He hadn't planned any further than this.

Re: Across the School

[bloodyspitfire.livejournal.com]

There was an all-call, going out to anyone that Jonothon had been able to confirm was fighting on the side of the resistance... That was a small amount of people, granted. The list mostly just included all of those who had been in detention, and the handful of people that he'd seen come in with Kitty. He'd been out of the loop for a while.

Hell, he'd been out of the loop enough with his own powers, and wasn't even certain that trying to single out so many specific people all at once was even going to work, but Karla (http://fandomhigh.livejournal.com/3176427.html?thread=193499371#t193499371) had asked him to pass on the message, and seeing as she had been telling the truth when it came to getting them out of detention in the first place, he figured he owed her as much.

//An update on the hit-list, lads and ladies,// he reported to anybody that he hoped could hear. //Karla, th'blonde gel who we've seen in detention for the first time for the past couple of days- She's resistance. She's on our-side, and was playing double-agent in order to get the information needed to let us out. One more time, Karla is not a target. You may all carry on with your respective destroying things, now.//

Now, hopefully people actually heard it.

[OOC: If you think you heard it, Resistance folks, you did! Loyalists wouldn't have, though Resistance squirrels would, and if you'd rather not have heard it at all, that's cool too. Jono's a bit rusty with the powers, these days.]

Re: Across the School - A hallway, but without any lockers

[leavingthenest.livejournal.com]

Rapunzel was still shivering. She hadn't slept since yesterday, and she was scared, but that girl Dinah had said that she could help. So Rapunzel was trying.

What had Dinah said? Sam? Tall? Cute? Floppy brown hair?

That should make him... easy to find, right?

Hopefully she wouldn't run into anyone else. She wasn't sure what she'd do if she did.

Re: Across the School - A hallway, but without any lockers

[cracking-wonder.livejournal.com]

Luckily for Rapunzel, Sam was very tall and very floppy haired. Genetics had been both kind and cruel at the same time. He was wandering through a hallway, looking a little lost, and trying to avoid having to fight anyone. He was still adjusting to not being stuck below, thanks.
