As he finished putting the robotic parts inside the limo, Logan sat in, sighed and looked at them. "Scrap metal", he thought. Was he glad to discover he was really not behind any of this? The Wolverine had been used by bad guys in the past to do their dirty work, and if he had any say in the matter, he sure as hell would never let someone else decide for himself, even less mind control him into killing people. He had done bad things, and he wasn't afraid to kill if it was absolutely necessary, but he'd do it willingly or not at all. He was a member of the X-Men, now. Of his own free will. He followed Xavier's ideal because he wanted to, not because he was forced to do so. But if he had discovered that someone had actually used him to kill Mentallo, he would have been very, very angry... and would have killed the freakin' bastard that was behind it all. Now, being wrongly accused of a false murder was still bad, but it was far from the worse he has ever endured. When he'd find the guy responsible, he'd give him a good beating and shut him down for good; that'd be his own way of thanking him for not really killing Mentallo and really framing him for murder. He smiled.
-Hey, guys... what's takin' so long? Get in here, we gotta go... hey... where are Fixer and Mentallo?
He couldn't see them near th limo, but what bothered him the most was that they were supposed to be in right now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 4/4 E: 12/12
Sitting in the limo, thinking about several things...
and 3 stones into Intelligence to finally notice that something might be wrong... lol.
End E: 9/12 Defense: 2 (Ref.Dodge) Mental defense: 5

"Why does it matter, Tovarisch? We were not told to bring them," Colossus de-powers himself and slips inside the Limousine.

-Nor were we told to let them go. We have not solved this mystery yet!
Wolverine looks around through the windows, searching for the two bad guys, and his claws pop out of his right hand. *SNIKkT!*

Kitty slowly walks out holding the helmet to toss in the trunk as she hears Wolverine and Colossus conversation. "They left?" huffs "After all we did for them" Setting the helmet in the trunk ' I agree with Logan we should follow them no telling what trouble they'll get in to.

"Our mission was not to bring them back... However, I share your concern Wolverine. I would rather not let them simply leave until all the pieces of this puzzle has been put together." Storm said concernedly, as she glanced back.
"They can't have gone far so soon."

Rogue has no idea what an Owl is doing flying off next to Mentallo but, she wasn't gonna let him get away. She looked down at her companions but, no one else seemed to know what was up. She figured she better let her team mates know they dropped the ball. "HAY Y'ALL, Mentallos runnin for it! I got 'em!"
Rogue puts on a burst of speed while taking her gloves off. If he was usin' some kinn'a mind trick then it was bes' to try and negate that ability if she could. ==============
Action 1: 2 stones into flight (spd 4) combined with 2 stones close combat & 4 strength to grapple Mentallo, making sure to touch skin.
Action 2: (steel superpower)
H 2/3 E 0/9 D 6 toughness, +4 mental
OOC: Ok 1st time using this power so hope I did it right. The action has no stones listed.

Inside the limousine, Wolverine shakes away a momentary fuzziness in his head, to discover the Fixer and Mentallo are gone!
Rogue is in the sky outside the limo and spots Mentallo getting away on a pair of flight disks, one under each foot. As Rogue approaches, Mentallo turns toward her and concentrates. Rogue then feels a psychic tug on her mind, but nothing more. A look of pure shock bordering on terror crosses the mentalist's face, just before Rogue makes skin contact!
[OOC: Steal Superpower works a little differently based on the length of contact: 1 second, 1 Panel or 2 Panels. For this case, I'm assuming only 1 second of contact.]
"Get offa him!" an owl shouts with the Fixer's voice. Then Rogue is struck by a powerful laser beam!
The other X-Men notice this spectacle occurring about 40 yards from them, through the limousine's rear window.
"Unglabich!" Nightcrawler exclaims. (Whatever that means.)
Rogue's Health: 1/3 Rogue's Energy: 3/9 [Gains Telepathy with Illusions Option for 1 minute, plus you can ask the GM 1 question that can be answered through the victim's absorbed memories.]

Wolverine's Health: 4/4 Wolverine's Energy: 12/12
Colossus's Health: 3/3 Colossus's Energy: 9/9 [Adjusted for Human Form]

Colossus steps out of the limousine. He doesn't think there is a need to use these miscreants anymore, but the others do. Colossus next concentrates and with a powerful expulsion of his own energies, he transforms into the steel Colossus known to the world. He turns to Wolverine," Fastball Special, Comrade?"
Health 5 Energy 13
Transform Self Action 1: I put 3 Stones into Colossus' Strength to grab Wolverine Combined with: Action 2: I put 3 Stones into Colossus' Ranged Combat to fling Wolverine at Mentallo.
Health 5 Energy 13

If Wolverine says no, it would make sense that Colossus ends up doing nothing. (Or another can take Piotr up on his offer.)

That' change is fine but beware, that 3 stones is all you are spending to lift the weight of Wolverine, throw him the distance of 40 yards and actually aiming well enough for Logan to be within striking distance of Mentallo. You may want to recheck that difficulty and resistance chart in the game guide.

Wolverine
Getting out of the car, Logan was about to pursue the pair of villains on foot, when his buddy Piotr suggested otherwise. A predator smile appeared on his face.
-Alright. Let's do this!
*SNIKKT*
With all claws out, Logan approached Colossus to allow himself to become one of the deadliest thrown weapons ever... once again.
-The target's that moron, Fixer! Shoulda listened to me!
He wasn't going to kill the man, but he was going to make sure he'd feel the pain. He'd allow him to go away safely only after the professor said it was okay with him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 4/4 E: 12/12
7 stones into Close Combat (X-Men multi-style) to do the Fastball Special with Colossus, + 3 (AP) from his Adamantium Claws, into a 8 stones (plus whatever I can get from Colossus) Armor Penetrating attack against Fixer, aiming for his side. The last 2 stones are for control; I don't want to hit any vitals.
4 stones into Acrobatics, shifted to defense, to roll with the throw after he's "made contact" with the target...
End E: 1/12 Defense: 6 (2 Ref.Dodge, 4 actions) Mental defense: 5 Animal senses: 7

"Careful! Do not harm them too badly!" Storm cautioned the others as she flew towards Rogue, concerned as she saw how powerful the laser had struck. "Are you alright, Rogue?" She asked, even as she kept herself from being an easy target.
Health: 3/4 Energy: 12/12
Action1: Putting 3 stones into Flight, 2 shifted to defense. Action2: Putting 2 stones into Leadership, to Wolverines attack.
Defense: 2
Health: 3/4 Energy: 7/12
