((The rocket was already fired...))
((Yeah, but he did this between the temporary halt in fire and and Famine's change in weapons... Unless Famine is ridiculously fast like that.))
Jake was, despite his talk and skill, inexperienced. He did not have standard Arachnos military training, and had thus far only gotten by on guesswork and luck, with sprinkles of skill thrown in. Ergo, the 'runaway' strategy that may have been ideal in this situation was escaped by his prideful mind.
As a result of that, Jake, not receiving an answer from the spectre, immediately ordered his 'bots to open fire, advised or not.
"Now I've seen everything." Henteko remarked with befuddlement as he returned to the bar, slouchily slumping his rear onto the next-best stool, "Seriously though, what's with the arrogant-aggressive act then? There's gotta be a better way to find people you'd like to talk to."
"Or is that a mandate from your boss or something?" he wanted to know, eyeing the luminescent beverage suspiciously as the bartender set it down, "I mean, mine might be a real dragon, but even he doesn't make me just go out and pick fights with people..."

"I think I might just drink it a little slower. Could have warned me that it'd blow my head off", Alyssa commented. "And yeah I'm a hero, not by choice though.

She turned to Henteko. "Wait, did you say your boss is a dragon? Man, this world gets stranger every bloody day." Turning back to the bar she took another gulp of her drink, wincing as it burned it's way down but managing to not cough this time.

The spectre continued its work, oblivious to the assault of Jake's drones. And it wasn't specifically trying to get Jake to run away, although that could be an unitended side-effect. It was trying to make him a senseless gibbering mass on the floor. So for a third time, it stabbed at him and its cloak of fear followed suit.

Grey Masque walked right into Silk's attack, and his apparent apathy towards her attacks was revealed. His entire suit and face shimmered and flickered away briefly to reveal his entire body was just a semi-translucent, humanoid shaped purple layer of filmy liquid. Looking at him with anything else other than the normal naked eye would reveal nothing-literally. Higher forms of vision would reveal that there was nothing there at all. Heat? None. Mass? None. Light passed right through the area Grey Masque or whatever he was occupied.
The only thing that this guy registered as was REAL, only visible to the naked eye and perfectly solid, with no other forms of physical evidence to support his existence. Realer than real. An illusion? No. A decoy? Yes.
And mere moments after the decoy's disguise was disrupted, it flickered and reformed. Grey Masque approached with a curiously forgettable smile on his face and his hands raised into the air to deliver a killing strike.
***
Mr. Erik made a slashing motion with his hand, and the velvet cloth covering the mask beneath was shredded into bits, the mysterious man seeking to do the same to the mask itself with that same strike.
Famine grinned a bit as the 9mm rounds impacted his ballistics armor with all the familiarity in the world. If anything, this was better than usual. Famine went on to fire the LAW...fruitlessly. His grin quickly faded.
"Oh come on!" He groaned, throwing the one-shot tube aside and whipping out a Crey corporation standard issue Cryo-pistol, his backup-weapon of choice.
"Suck winter, baby!" He yelled to gunner, the blue glow of the pistol oddly vibrant and pulsing. Famine had clearly wired this model with the power source of a Heavy Cryo Rifle, boosting its power exponentially. Just how he'd done so was immediately obvious - a large coupling system hooked it into a belt-held generator. Famine fired the coursing beam with gusto, a blue lance that lit up the entire room.

The woman turns to Hetenko and raising her glass half way to her lips, when you are invulnerable to most forms of attack, you tend to live unencumbered until someone breaks the cycle
thats why its fun to talk to people that stand up to you. They usually have a personality closer to mine. She sips her drink satisfied with her answer. oh, and if my boss knew I was doing something as un-elegant as picking fights she would throttle me

Silk Panics and tries to block the hit with her bow. Luckily her bow didnt shatter but it sent her flying across the arena into the cage wall. She was lucky that she didnt get hit by the bullets flying everywhere. She lands close to gunner, Crap that hurt! Silk stumbles to her feet and tries to get a bit farther from the chaos Famine and gunner are creating. She looks over at Grey, What the hell are you?! Thats it, now its time for you to find out why Im called the Fallen Lotus! Silk pulls out an arrow with a huge lotus bud. She fires the arrow above Grey and then another arrow that hits it as its right above greys head. The Lotus Arrow Blooms and eack petal falls like a razor towards Grey in a neat little deadly pink cloud. suck on that goo-boy Silk watches in anticipation.

The Mask shatters and so does the vanity drawer. Two screams pierce the air, one from a woman not present, and the other from Odette who suddenly doubles over in pain clutching her head, AHHHHHH! D-David

.inside! Odette falls to her knees and then sideways still clutching her head.
Inside, the vanity shakes a bit as the other womans scream continues for a few moments and then echoes into silence. It was particularly painful because the second scream did not come from anyones mouth, instead it was like a scream inside your mind, as if someone were blasting an air horn in your brain.
((you guys are all awesome this is so much fun!))

David sprung into action and kicked in the door. He spotted Mr. Erik standing there. "Who the hell are you!?" Talisman yelled as he charged the strange man and punched him square in the jaw.
As Acid and Hotaka entered the elevator, they found three men already inside.
Two were two of the suited goons that had been in the Casino. They had produced the boxlike objects from their back pockets and at this point it was clear that they were highly advanced flip-open submachine guns, built fully synthetic. They were loading up fresh magazines when the elevator had stopped unexpectedly and opened quickly, the ship's designers making sure to keep their machinery working fast enough for the more impatient super-types.
The last man was the center of the hub, a man that Acid Zero would recognize instantly through years of shaky alliances and bitter warfare.
"Oh, what the hell. You just can't go anywhere without you showing up, can you?" 'Mister Dune' asked, a tired tone in his voice.

"Bored? Really?" Harry said in a surprised tone, turning to look down at her where she'd fallen. "With all that going on?" he gestured to the arena. "I guess saying you're not easily amused would be an understatement, huh?"
He looked back to see the forgettable guy strolling through the latest attack on him. That guy smiled in such a forgettable way, Harry would probably remember it to the end of his days.
"Great, one of THESE guys," he muttered to himself. First-hand experience told him how annoying the invincible types could be. Heck, this one didn't even have the decency to stick to regular old invincibility either. Probably one of those clever little powers that let him slip right by mundane things like physics and logic. Someone who'd discovered life's cheat codes while the rest of the world slugged it out on Legendary with the pistol and the assault rifle. And the pistol didn't even zoom anymore.
Harry gave an admiring "oooooo" at Silk's raining arrow trick, as though it were a display of fireworks.
"Now c'mon," he said to Shioh. "Tell me THAT wasn't impressive."
"I meant metaphorically." Henteko remarked with a shifty glance to Alyssa, wondering if the drink had gotten to her as he picked up the glass brought for him, "As in will light a fire under your rear if you aren't doing everything correctly to the last minute detail."
As the glass neared his lips, he inhaled a quick whiff of the drink's aroma, then sipped a bit from the rim of the thing. The two women could see his eyes widen behind the sunglasses, eyebrows deftly rising for a second before he tipped the glass back and emptied the whole thing in one swig.
Lazily dropping the glass back into the bar from roughly a centimeter above the finely carved wood, a broad smile now graced his cheeks as he exclaimed, "Nice! This is way better than that junk the old coot makes me down! Nastiest garbage ever, I tell you."
"Oh right, how rude of me." he stood again and curled the fingers of his right hand about the fist his left had become, both held close to his chest as he performed a curt bow, "Kaze Henteko. A pleasure to meet you."
Across the bar, likely unnoticed by either of the women, a certain can-throwing shmuck collapsed with a muffled gargle, the imprint of a particular empty glass nicely red against the back of his head...
--------------------
"Oh geez." Acid remarked through the side of his teeth as the familiar visage confronted him through the open elevator doors, his slitted pupils widening just a bit, "It's you. Uh-oh. You're going to shoot me, aren't you?"
The towering Hotaka's head turned perplexedly toward the Khelari, the bamboo coolie at an even steeper angle now, "What? Why would he shoot you? And with what? They don't allow guns through the metal...are you listening to me?"
Acid wasn't. Indeed, he seemed to have spaced out completely for a moment, his head quirked somewhat to the side and at the ceiling. However, said moment was decidedly only so, the reptilian wanting to know, "Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Hotaka inquired, now only more thoroughly perplexed...

"Impressive and fun are two different things. Watching people do things means I'm not doing them myself. I'm a doer not a watcher, especially since watching means I know the outcome of any 'gambles' they take. I know it sounds really, REALLYreallyreally weird, but I prefer to watch battles that don't involve explosions and weird metahuman powers," she pointed a thumb at the guy who strolled through the attack as she said this, "The more actual, raw skill like martial arts or even sword fights involved, as long as they're not flynning , the more interesting it is. I'd still prefer to fightfightFIGHT than sit around and watch, though."
Harry would probably find her 'slideshow' of movements as she described fighting and metahuman powers entertaining in the way one finds a mime entertaining. Or a clown. Or an acrobat. She'd been all three.

"Oh, I know what ya mean there," Harry nodded thoughtfully. "Always been a fan o' skill and all. But knowing the outcome, for me anyway, doesn't really take away the fun of watching. I mean, I KNOW how some movies are going to end, but I still re-watch them. Of course, I seem to be more easily amused than most so maybe it's just different perspectives."
Which was perfectly true. Harry found himself excited by lots of things that others didn't see the importance of. Heck, he still had to stop and look at the sky in amazement every now and then. After all, it was just so..... big. Not the best word to describe his wonderment, but he'd given up trying to explain it long ago.

"Aww, and here was me hoping I'd get to meet a real life dragon, just so I could say I have. Still, says something about how long I've been in Paragon when I start jumping to far-fetched conclusions like that."
She raised an eyebrow at his downing the entire drink without noticeable effect and again at the bow, but dismissed it as just personal quirks. "Alyssa Kelly. And the pleasure's mine I'm sure", she returned his introduction.
"Was that really necessary?", she asked as the drunk tourist collapsed from the thrown glass.

Mr. Erik was knocked into the wall by the punch, hitting it with a solid thumping noise. His accountant's suit and pale face with its greasy hair flickered and faded away. The man had been nothing more than one elaborate...Masquerade.
'Not in cruelty, not in wrath...Die.' David heard an icy voice echo in his head before the wraith-like man slashed his arm at David. A clear miss-Or a clean hit, as it was an attack that sliced through matter like a cleaver at a distance. A normal stone wall, as an example, would have a huge gash in it *or several such gashes* after being assaulted in this way.

The decoy charged right through the pink mist of Silk's attack, shredding its disguise but taking no damage itself. Its disguise began to reform the moment Grey Masque was through, and he-it-was preparing for another attack.

"In that case, you may wish to head over to the arena." Henteko advised Jess, "Some people are messing with an invincible ninja over there. Of course, they're not going to win, but they still try."
"Was what necessary?" he genuinely inquired of Alyssa, "Oh, the bow? Yes, actually. It is tradition. Tradition is good...well, at least so I am told."
The last words he'd said with a seeming sideways glance, the man truly a bit unsure of the merits of tradition. In his opinion, efficiency mattered most, and to his great dismay, Ryuu Sensei almost never saw it that way.
"And why would you want to meet a dragon?" he wanted to know as he sat down again, "Provided they exist in the first place. I know, Paragon City, but most of those are just humans with mutations."
Henteko began counting off his fingers as he tried to remember, "So far, I've heard of...shark people, eel people, wolf people, fox people, cat people, alligator people...or was it crocodile? I can never tell the two apart...bird people, snake people, and of course the lizard slash dragon kinds."
"I think there are too many chemical vats around there." he finished with a shrug, "But yes, I wouldn't want to. It would probably just try to eat me..."

David barely got out of the way of Mr. Erik's attack... it still drew blood on his left arm though. Odette's attack however, gave David the time he needed to launch a powerful attack on Mr. Erik. Blue energy surged around his uninjured arm. "Kai-Sei-Ja-CHA!" Talisman chanted as he unleashed a massive energy punch directly into Mr. Erik's jaw. "And stay down ya [censored]..."

"OO what kind of movies do you like?" she snapped up and put her face close to his, "I like comedies and musicals and kung fu movies and Super Sentai movies and horror movies!"
Masquerade, for that was his name, reeled and smashed into the wall once again, which cracked under the strain. The energy in David's punch had blown away the lower half of his opponent's jaw, leaving nothing but a gory mass of black ooze and tar. Which was when Masquerade revealed HIS secondary abilities, and he turned out to be quite empathetic.
An aura of healing radiance bathed the area around him with strange energies, and David saw the ripped portions of his face weaving back together. There was a flash of light as the sinister man teleported, reappearing over the fallen Odette and slashing at her with his arm for an attempted easy kill.

"Should have known what you were getting into." Grey Masque said casually, approaching slowly while seeking an opening in Silk's posture. "I may only be a distraction, but the main event didn't see fit to show itself to the likes of you. What you see is what you get..."
The decoy charged suddenly, trying to deliver a surprise uppercut to Silk's jaw.

Just tell us who you are.
Even though she wanted to stop the fighting, she was more worried about Davids massive injury. She hopes that if she can placate Masquerade a bit, he would heal David.
