Bobby rushes towards the monster. It cannot avoid his fearsome attack and is nearly flattened. If that wasn't enough, Silas attacks with a psychokineticly-launched manhole cover, breaking it's neck. The broken monster falls to the pavement.
Too late to make any difference, Phanlax and Kevin show up on the motorcycle. Piston was about to attack the creature, but sees it is already finished and holds back (you get you're energy back).
Askari blocks another attack from the monster with his force field as he finishes another spell.

Bobby smiled to himself, perfect. "I don't know what all these heroes moan about that was easy. Anyways, later monster, I got a training session to get to!" he shouted to the creature as he turned round and sprinted towards his school.

Piston looks back as he pulls his punch at the last second. He regards these other heroes on the scene. Maybe they wanted to help too, he wasn't one to turn down the help.
"What is that thing?" he asks, somewhat rhetorically.

Phalanx got off the motorcycle and approached the monster. He kicked the creature with the side of his foot and looked to Piston.
"My guess is that it's a scout of some kind. It's alone and judging from the slime trail, it came from the alley meaning it was trying to stick to the shadows." Phalanx shook his foot causing the slime to fling to the ground. "With that said, who are you?"
Phalanx turned his rifle again and slid it down as it locked into place on his back. Phalanx looked over the steam coming off of this armored man and c ocked his head.

A number of questions rush through Kevin's head. Why is that kid running away? Who is the guy that threw the man hole cover? Who's the guy in the powered armor? What happens if they decide I'm part of the problem? I'm not sure I could handle most of these guys in a one-on-one fight let alone in a group like this.
One member of the group, the person in the powered armor, seems more quizical than dangerous. His question, "What is that thing?" seems more rhetorical than serious. Maybe he would be a good place to start. Apparently Phalanx had already come to that conclusion. Probably better to let him do the talking. Kevin did have one quesiton he just had to ask.
Motioning towards Bobby who had taken off he asked, "What's wrong with him? Where's he off to in such a rush?"
Kevin will remain on his bike and do his best to appear non-threatening all the while paying attention to Bobby.
Action #1 1 stone in social skills to appear non-threatening
Action #2 2 stones in ninja + 4 more from 2 pair of nunchuks all shifted to defense just incase one of these new guys decides to take a swing at him.

Looking at the other heroes, Silas quickly concluded that all of them were here for the same thing. The only one he had questions about were the kid, but the boy answered without even being asked, apparently he was off to class. Odd kid. He said watching the kid run away.
Not leaving much to chance, he decided to briefly mindscan the boy and and the man with the gun, they were behaving rather oddly, although he admitted to himself that he wasn't exactly the picture of normality.
He flipped the manhole cover around to relieve it of some of the slime and replaced it on its hole, all with an ornamental hand gesture. Facing the others he felt obligated to intoduce himself.
"My name's Silas, I hunt these beasts. I'm... sanctioned. We don't have much time for introductions but I'd like to know who you all are."
Actions: H: 6 E: 15
Action 1: 4 stones into psychokinesis to flick some of the slime off the manhole cover and lay it back on its hole Action 2: 4 stones into reading the Bobby's thoughts, and 4 into reading Phalanx's, just sort of checking their general credentials as good guys.

The flames winked out around askari, he didn't need them anymore. His eyes locked with the monsters, mentally establishing a link he began to feed him conflicting sensory input. Hopefully, stunning the creature long enough for Askari to finish it.

Phalanx eyed Silas before speaking. He looked down at the monster again before introducing himself.
"My name is Phalanx. Or that is the closest thing to a name that I have. And this, is Kevin. He and I traveled here together as I have no other means of transportation."

After 30 seconds of running faster than any normal man, Bobby arrives at his school, in time for training.
Phanalax anaylazes the monster and the environment around them. As far as he could tell the monster was scouting out Yancy Street, perhaps for a possible invasion.
Silas reads Bobby's mind. He finds out that he's a kid with super powers who came to investigate the monster sightings. Phanalax doesn't seem to remember anything beyond fairly recently. As far as you can tell he means well.
The monster fighting Askari is stunned.

(OOC: Has Grimsolace's character got a bonus to teleptahy he didn't write there? Because Bobby has Int 4?) Finishing his sprint Bobby grabbed his usual place in the changing rooms for the pool and looked around at his team-mates. Before they got into any of the usual banter he thought he'd better give one of those 'pep-talks' that captains were supposed to. While he knew he had all the talent to succeed no matter what, some of his team-mates had to be coaxed to perform at their best. "Alright team! Let's get out there and give 110%, we've got a big swim-meet coming up, and if we win this one then we've won the regionals. I know that each and everyone of you can do it," he said as he slipped off his t-shirt, his actions showing his confidence- or arrogance in the team's skills, "All we need to remember is that we're a team- we win together, we swim together, we are the best. Got it?" he built his voice to a crescendo as he removed his jeans and grabbed his towel, then he set about the usual banter with his team-mates before the coach came to call them out poolside for the start of practice.

Blue flames erupted around the stunned monster, obscuring it from view. Askari started to make preparations to go topside to find the grey mutant and, hopefully, some answers. Leaving the hidden monster for dead. ========= Health 3/3 Energy 14/14 Action 1:: 6 Stones mastery of magic >> Combined with the 6 paid last turn for 12 against the monster +Split+ 6 for damage, 1 for range, 1 for radius, 4 duration Action 2 :: 4 Stones in MoT >> Prep panel Defense :: 1 (Armour) Errata :: 3 panels of Phase Shift remaining Health 3/3 Energy 4/14 12regen OCC Note:: Just some further clarification. Bobby is considered 'unaware' of this intrusion, and it automatically succeeds. Had the telepath tried to do something that would be personally noticeable, and thus be aware of, like trying to stop bobby in his tracks or trying to make him punch himself in the face then you could resist freely using intelligence. The telepathy description, if you need the reference, may be found on Pg # 59. As an aside, my character can't read minds. I believe you meant to say 'that freaky, grey skinned mutie'.

Silas went about scanning the area for a second slime trail. He doubted the dead monster was solo. Introductions pending.

Phalanx turned to Kevin. "I think it's safe for you to come up with the rest of us."
Phalanx turned back to look at Silas searching the area.
"I doubt you'll find anything else, this one was a scout. A loner if you will. He was probably coming up here to scout out for an invasion."
Phalanx pulled his mask back revealing his "peculiar" traits.
"I'm new to this city. In fact, I'm new to everything. But I'll be damned if I let something like this come to the surface and take over." Phalanx kicked the monster again as he spoke. "Though I don't know any of you, I will say this. You all look relatively capable. So, if you have no objections, let us proceed into the sewers to find the root of this problem."
Phalanx looked again to Silas, "Silas, was it? Did you see anything odd down in the sewers."

Kevin finds a suitable place to store his bike and continues with the rest of the group. Phalanx seems to trust these guys and this is the first contact the group has had with these monsters. Knowing an invasion, by these monsters of New York would probably cost the lives of several people. Kevin extends his hand to the group.
"My name is Kevin. I'm also new here. I've come to this country searching for my father but that search has been put on hold for now. It appears that we have a bigger problem here. What do you people know about these things?"
Action #1 3 stones in social skills to introduce himself to the group and learn about them
