Emma took the mask from White. "Thank you,"she told him. She watched IQ place his hat with his amazing powers. "Wow,"she said out loud,"That is a very useful power." Emma smiled at White once more thanking him for the mask. She put on the mask, it had holes for her eyes and mouth. "I guess I wont need this until we go out in Paragon,"she said taking off the black mask and putting it in her back pocket. "We are all heroes in here, right?"she asked.
(OOC:Can all of us put a pic of our heroes on this forum so I can get a better image? Ill work on getting mine up.)

(I am not that ugly lol. I will get a close up later.)
"I believe so." White Masque said in response to Goth's question. "As far as food goes, as long as I have physically seen it before, I can conjure it." White Masque reached back into his cloak once more, and after some rummaging, brought forth a cornucopia. "Behold!" He said triumphantly. "Squash!"
On command, a large and fat squash rocketed from the depths of the thing with a large *pootwang* and exploded against the far wall.
"Food is taken care of with this." He said in his high-flown voice, which went hand-in-hand with smugness. "But I'm afraid I can't do anything to fortify this place if the miasma can move through space and matter on a higher scale. I think it would be to our benefit if we could go to Atlas park, and salvage something from the M.A.G.I. vaults that we can use to fight the miasma, or at least hold it back. In any case, we're sitting ducks unless we have anything we can use to combat it, regardless of where we are. I don't think physically blocking the miasma or its minions would accomplish much."
((OOC: Well here I am, the Professor IQ at your service :-))

((and yes, Prof has black pants and red shirt underneath the jacket. This is the current look for him.. and fleur d'li is the closest thing to anything Masonic on the site.. I had to embellish him exactly what he would be wearing. Hope this helps for visual sake))
Pure stood from th small crowd, and stared at the woman across the room, she was fiddling with something. Pure walked over, crouched down and in a soft whisper he asked,"Whats that there?", She jumped at the sound of his voice then stuffed the thing away. Pure had a strange feeling about this woman now...he grabbed her arm gently and asked again, "what is that?"...She grinned, pushing away Pure and standing. Her eyes vanished...literally, and replaced by a fiery aura of darkness, she lunged for Pure, and had him suprisingly pinned on the ground.
"Hey guys!" Pure started, "A little help here!"
The woman looked at the group, still pinning Pure down.
"You dare fight a Minion of Miasma?!" the woman bellowed.
"GUYS!" Pure screamed.
[Thought I would put in some sort of twist]
Immediately IQ was on his feet. A minion of the "Miasma" had been in their midst all along! The Professor was outraged. He had overlooked the possibility that the new enemy could have spies and it made him even angrier at himself. He put his gloved hands to his temples and said aloud, "Let's see how you handle a migraine headache!" Professor IQ sent a powerful psychic attack at the woman hoping to give Pure an opportunity to counter attack...
White Masque had reacted instantly, the moment the woman had moved threateningly.
"MASK OF GRACE! REPEL DARKNESS!" He roared suddenly, turning about to face the two with frightening speed. That probably wasn't noticed though, because he had also simultaneously erupted in a flash of blinding white light. The light blazed in every direction like an explosion, obliterating shadow and scouring darkness. The woman found an enormous wall of holding, blinding light screaming at her. It couldn't actually hurt her, as such. It was only light, and it wasn't concentrated enough to produce a laser. Even then, at that size and shape, the cohesion would have been terrible. But the explosion of light, should the woman allow herself to be hit, would most definitely completely dazzle her, leaving the minion unable to move or react in any way. After all, just because it wasn't focused enough light to generate intense heat didn't mean it wasn't SPECIAL light.
To IQ and Pure, however, the explosion of blinding light was merely a soft glow that was completely harmless. It appeared their new friend had a 'friendly fire' option.
[OOC: Here is the best shot of Reaga that I can get right now, I'll work on some more soon.]

Huddling in the back yard of an abandoned building suddenly the man hears a a yell which sounded like "GUYS!" from the building in front of him. while still in his dark cloud form Dark got up from his spot and ran into the building. with hope of other survivors. Dark opened the door to find that no one was there. Dark sat in the room and waited. it was warmer in there. Dark waited.
It took Reaga nearly 2 minutes of high speed flight to get close to where the "dot" had gone in 10 seconds. Gracious, this one is fast. He landed in the shadows of what used to be an office building around 50 yards from his target. Lying flat on the roof, he pushed several buttons on his left wrist gauntlet. The, for a lack of a better term, "pimped out" assault rifle began to bond with his right forearm, the suit locking itself around his hand and the gun. A safety measure to prevent disarming. That is, unless, someone actually removes my arm. Highly unlikely.
Reaga positioned his rifle and zoomed in his vision. He focused on a man wearing a dark tenchcoat, bending over a woman. All of this was seen through a small crack in a boarded up window. Much to his amazement, the woman leapt out at him, her body surrounded by some sort of blackish haze. She is too much of a risk. I can't have her harming my newfound quarry.
"Laser sight, green. Charge sniper rifle round."
" Charging commenced. Sequence initiate in 5, 4,... Sequence complete. Charge loaded. Ready to fire. " The voice of the system was calm, unemotional. Reaga was soothed by the feminine yet artificial speech.
"Fire"
The woman never knew what hit her. Perfectly aimed, straight through the back and out the front of her head. Reaga stood, confirmed her demise, and took off, leaving the scene but remaining in the area. He wanted to keep a close eye on the supers.
[Thought I'd shake things up a bit, add to the intrigue. Hope you enjoy!]
Dark heard a shot from somewhere outside. in the room 4 figures appeared and one dead crazed lady. Dark had a sense this lady was corrupted by the darkness. Dark got up and said to the figures infront of him
"hello my name is wonederful i was attacked 2 times by the darkness after the first time i found shelter with survivors they called me Dark because of this aura the second time it attacked this aura is the thing that saved me, i also assume some how this darkness sent me to another dimension where this place was empty"
Emma's eyes were wide. "Is it gone......?"she asked. She was trying to take in all that had just happened.
(OCC:....Is it dead?????????? Or is pure still trapped by it????? Im a little confused...I mean the green light just like stunned it, and then some guy shot it in the streets, or was he somewhere else? And then some guy appears out of another world the darkness put him in......?????????????????)
(OOC: shes dead)
Wonederful aka Dark waits for introductions as his aura starts to wear off.
OOC: I thought we were INSIDE? In a giant warehouse? And wasn't everybody already within five feet of the miasma minion before Wonederful and Reaga jumped in? And what just happened?
And the light was white, not green. >.>
BIC:
OOC: you were when i jumped in
Darks aura is now completely off
"so what are your stories?"
Pure got to his feet, and looked around dumbfoundedly..."Gone in a flash of light?" He stated. Pure nodded at Masque in thanks because he obviously summoned that great light. "Now," he started with a angry tone, "Who else in this room is a minion to that thing?! Huh!" Pure looked to around to all in the room. [OOC:: It's not dead, it just fled from the light. So no one is confused on that]
(OOC:OK, so did it get shot or not? I mean we were not even outside.)
"not me"
" i have a dark cloudy aura but as i said it saved me from the second attack of the darkness by the way do any of you know the name?"
[OOC; Well,m I am confused as hell, so I guess I'll leave it up to you guys on what happened. I assumed that the woman, although corrupted by the Maisma, was still a woman. Although her body may be gone, maybe the Miasma is still there, even though she suffered a head shot she still operates under the Miasma's power. I think it would be wise for Mr Giant to step in and resolve this, since it was his idea in the first place.]
((Hm, this certainly took a twist. So...what makes you think she actually 'suffered a headshot'? 
))

Characters
[Ok let me break this down. Pure was pinned. Masque shot the light, freeing Pure, Pure stayed on the ground. Whoever shot her...shot her, killing the woman, but letting the Miasma flee outside, everyone understand?]
(OCC:But he said it was outside, we need to tell him to edit his post.)
[OOC: I was unaware that this was inside, my bad. I have edited the post to fit. I apologize. Meanwhile, better pics of Reaga for you.]

[OOC: Thanks Temp. It will be a pleasure to rp with you again. Best of luck with you and your crew; you're going to need it.]
Paragon. The once proud city of hopes and dreams, where a man could walk down the street with fear. No more. Reaga closed down his tab on 'The Miasma' in frustration. It seems that something happened to just come through. almost with a purpose, and proceeded to destroy a city filled with super powered beings. A small chill ran up his spine.
If this thing can wipe out Super City, what's stopping it from moving to the Isles? All this hocus-pocus stuff gives me the creeps. And what am I? I'm an ex bounty hunter who found a suit and gun. No powers, no mystical abilities; just a man. And to think how many do-gooders I've executed. He couldn't help forcing a grin. This suit was quite the piece of hardware. He was still working out some of the kinks, but with just a whisper, he zoomed his vision focus to telescopic. Reaga was watching from a rooftop as some Hellions took a smoke in an alley a few hundred meters from him. Amateurs.
"Ping. Ping. Ping ping ping ping."
What's going on? Wait a sec. "Bring up visual." A screen with the layout of the block appeared before his eyes. A red dot flashed across the screen, then turned around and backtracked the way it came. It was moving with incredible speed. Finally, something. Reaga stood while activating the small jets in his feet and back. Small metal plates extended from his arms and shoulders to help with steering. And now, one of my favorite parts. Reaga took off in the direction of the red dot.
