Thermal Weapon found himself in yet another of New York's seedy, downtown bars. Though he couldn't read the digital clock on the wall, a church chime had just struck half-past eleven. The bar showed no signs of emptying or closing. It literally throbbed with heat signatures. Thermal Weapon was not gifted with sight, not in the way others had it, but he saw much more than most, he could see the human's moving about in the bar, and for the most part he could 'feel' the chairs, tables and bar that they interacted with. His senses were not the same as other's but they still allowed him to function almost normally. He could hear the voices of nearly fifty in the bar, one of the curses of his heightened senses, but also one of their saving grace's. The scent of sweat, cheap perfume (only a little, there were few women here) and the rank odour of lashings of cheap aftershaves. All were in his remit in this bar, he'd grown accustomed to them, it was just something you had to. His sensitive hearing was, tonight, worth all it's problems. As he drank the last of his current drink he heard a word that instantly focused him on the corner it had come from; "Kingpin". As he listened intently he heard the entire conversation. "The baws says that the Kinpin's gots some big meetin' goin' on in town tonight. Claims that every baws will be there. Gonna' be some event if Kinpin's throwin' it?" the first voice spoke, it's thick, urban New York drawl instantly ear-marking it as a local speaking. "Jus' be glad we not been called up, eh amigo? Jus think who will be after the 'Pin?" the second, Mexican accented voice replied. "Too righ' I'm glad we got's the night off. Come awn, let's split." the first voice finished.

Any time the KingPin is mentioned his interest is peaked. He quickly gulps down the rest of his drink; tosses down two bucks and casually follws the men out the door. Getting him self mentally ready incase this should come down to a quick brawl.
*noting in his mind he doesnt have his gear with him, he just hopes to tail the two men, and make a quick grab of them. Squeeze out the information he needs. Then make it back to his rundown appartment, before the big meeting takes place.

Weapon stood and followed the two criminal types out of the bar. They were easy enough to trail- these streets were empty save for the brave, or stupid few and he could clearly see the bright, human shaped masses of heat that were his targets. The two continued to talk, innane speech; who was dealing what, who was 'doing' who, what the 'baws's' next plan might be. A moment later Weapon saw his chance, they turned into an alleyway, barely noticable as it blended in perfectly with the background heat, his only knowledge that it was there came from the mental image that the echoes made as they bounced from it.

Slipping down the darkend alleyway. Trying to make as little noise as possible. Letting his senses take in the damp area. The smelll of trash is potent. *Taking down these two will be easy enough. Just gotto make sure Im quick and quiet. he thinks to himself.
Once closing in on the two thugs, without hesitation he leaps in to the air. Coming down on one of the men. With a jutting elbow to the top of his shoulder. Aiming for one of the many nerve points he is well aware of through out the body. ============ Regenerate 2 H:4 E:12

Weapon rounded the corner, found them to be in a dead end. He could hear their hearts beating. Then without a second's wait he laept into the air, spinning upwards, somersaulting and landing a blow on one. He crumpled beneath Thermal Weapon. His compatriot fumbled in his jacket. The second pulled a gun, his hand shaking the weapon dropped from his terrified grasp to the floor, "P-p-pplease, don't hurt me!" he begged in his thick New York drawl, "I ain't done nothin' to nobody!"

Turning his gaze to the pleading crook, with a quick thrust his hands were pushing the man up against the dirty brick wall. Lifting the man up using just a fraction of his strength.

The crook looked terrified, Weapon could feel his heart beat speed up infinitely. He could smell the sweat already. "L-l-look, I don't know, all the baws said was that the Kinpin had some big meetin' goin down with the heads of the crime groups in New York... nothin else. Me 'n the baws, we ain't high enough up to know any details." the crook pleaded.

The crook whimpered. "I-I-I... don't know." he stammered, trying to collect his resolve. Now weapon could truly smell the fear that he felt, that palpable tang of the cocktail of sweat and adrenaline. The heartbeat so fast it was almost a single thrum, the ragged breathing. Though he couldn't see this crook, he knew that he was scared senseless. Somehow it didn't seem possible that this crook knew anything that he hadn't already revealed.

Sliding the man down onto the ground. He paused looked silently at the man the pushed him back down the alley way. Letting him go. With that he looked back at the man laying on the ground. Then jumped up planting a foot on a wall and back up grabbing a haning ladder leading up to a fire escape. Climbing it he made his way to the roof.

Weapon leapt away, at the speed he was going things were always a little risky rooftop to rooftop, but risk was just the name of his game, and luckily for him ladders tended to be metal, and metal tended to be just a little cooler than brick, and building tops tended to be a little warmer than building sides. Even with his effective 'sight' limited to only a few yards he was still able to manage to work effectively in the urban jungle. It only took him a moment to swing to the top of the first building, now he'd spend next to no time getting back to the apartment he was currently using.

Weapon leapt from building to building, sometimes diving from a higher building to get to a lower one, sometimes swinging on a flag pole or other similar feature to propel himself to his apartment. In no time at all he was back at his apartment.

Quickly jumping into the room from an open window. He made his way to his closet. removing a couple of floor boards to reveal a small assortment of weapons. He pulled out his costume slipping into his pants and over shirt. The red and black covered his fit body showing off every well formed muscle. Dawning the mask the black starlike eyes almost finishing off the costume. Then he picked up the most important piece the the suits body armor chest plate sliding it over his head, and locking it into place with the suits belt. Picking up his twin katanas, and assualt riffle locking them into place he took off again out the window and towards the king pins complex. ============= Regenerate 5

Suited up and ready to go Weapon leapt from the window in which he had come. It seemed a little odd to be going to Kingpin's heavily defended and uptown tower when the information had been gotten in the slums, but that was Kingpin's usual holdout, of course whether he wanted the other crime 'lords's to know that was questionable.
